Functions
The Information Technology Department provides the technology tools and data services required to support the departments that provide services to our citizens. Our goal is customer service, and we make a continuous effort to ensure our staff has access to the resources and technologies they need to do their jobs efficiently and effectively.
Looking Forward
We pride ourselves on being good stewards of taxpayer’s dollars and do not make unnecessary technology purchases. We see technology as a tool and leverage its use to improve operational efficiencies where possible. We adhere to IT industry standards and follow best practices and procedures with the goal of being in the middle of the technology curve. We will be researching better ways for citizens to use technology to communicate with the city and are open to your ideas.
