DISCUSSION
The City utilizes a mix of contractors specialized in information
technology and full-time City staff to support the technology needs of the
City. The City operates 12 major application systems that include Utility
Billing, Business Tax, Payroll, Risk Management, and SAPIN to name a few.
In addition, the operations support two centers (City Hall and the Police
Department), 130+ servers, 2,000 users, 35 sites, and 240 items of network
equipment.
Contract personnel provide specialized knowledge in software application
development and support; business application and project consulting;
telecommunications services; and computer and networking services. The use
of these services maximizes the effectiveness of staff resources in the
Information Services Division (ISD). Approximately 17 (45 percent) of the
total staff assigned to Information Services are contracted positions with
third party vendors. This approach ensures proper expertise for the
completion of City information projects and maintains consistent delivery
of applications and systems to City users. Staffing from Nakoma and
Softmaster are specifically dedicated to support the main City systems.

Currently, the City is in the process of obtaining proposals for technical

vendors that can provide technical contract services to the City. Funds in
the current contract are projected to be depleted by the latter part of

review of the proposals, and final Council approval, Information Services
Division is requesting extending the current contract amount by a total
cumulative amount of $425,000.
