REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD-05-005
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the transfer of the Information Services Technician IV to the control and
supervision of the Police Department and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
For many years, departments had their own information system units. In 2002, the
Information Services Department was formed as a separate department. After the formation
of the Information Services Department a city-wide review of the information sytems units
throughout other City Departments was conducted. In August 2003, the Information Services
Department brought an item to the City Council to restructure their department and
incorporate the information systems personnel from the Police Department, Fire Department,
Public Works Department and Library.
In this fiscal year, the Police Department and the Information Services Department have
reviewed the personnel that were transferred into Information Services from the Police
Department. After discussion, it was suggested that a position in the Information Services
Department that manages the security systems more appropriately belongs in the Police
Department. This position's primary assignment is to service, manage and maintain the
following functions:
• Security access system
• Security camera system
• Security recording system
• Security alarm system
The position's primary responsibility is related to security issues and most adjustments to the
security systems are requested through the Police Department. Also, the security systems
are primarily monitored and controlled at the Police Department. Both the Police Department
and the Information Services Department believe that the position would be more
appropriately managed and controlled through the Police Department. Prior to bringing this
item to Council, the MEA and the involved employee were contacted. The affected
departments, MEA and the involved employee are in support of the transfer.
