JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of Commissioners
FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator
DATE: July 22, 2013
RE: Central Services 2013 Organizational Chart
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: County Commissioner approval of a change to the 2013
Organizational Chart for the Information Services Division is requested. The change will
designate a second IS Network Technician IV position in the Division, through reclassification of
an existing IS Network Technician III position. The current IS Network Technician III employee
has already been performing many IS Network Technician IV duties, meets all qualifications, and
would continue in the new position.
ANALYSIS: As stated above, approval of the revised Central Services 2013 Organizational
Chart will designate a second IS Network Technician IV position, through reclassification of an
existing IS Network Technician III position.
Key differences in the essential functions of an IS Network Technician III and an IS Network
Technician IV include: maintain the design and architecture of the network; maintain all network
components, including file servers,xouters, bridges, switches, modems, cabling; troubleshoot
network problems; analyze network monitoring information to determine health of network;
maintain network security and firewall systems, including administration of user accounts.
Reliable and updated technology is essential to the ability of County government to perform day to
day, and to gain the efficiencies continuing budget constraints require. In 2012, Information
Services adopted a "Jefferson County Information Services Strategic Technology Plan 2010-
2015," which chazts significant redesign of the County's IT hazdwaze and software infrastructure
to improve the reliability of our technology and greatly enhance its capability for service delivery
and efficiency. This includes virtualizing servers, installing storage azea networks, a major
reconfiguration of the County's network topology using capabilities created by broadband,
preparing for and migrating to VOIP telephones, and installing major upgrades to system and
applications software, including electronic document management software. The County also is
providing primary technical support for upgrading and maintaining the IS system for the Jefferson
County Public Utility District as the PUD has taken on electrical distribution and its IT needs have
grown.
Consent Agenda
Reclassifying an existing IS Network Technician III position to create a second IS Network
Technician IV position in the IS Division's organizational structure is essential to the Division's
ability to successfully implement its Strategic Plan to support County operations, and to perform
our obligations to the PUD.
The current IS Network Technician III employee meets all the education, experience and skills for
a reclassification from an IS Network Technician III to an IS Network Technician N. The
Teamster's Labor Agreement requires the level IV position be established and approved by the
Board of County Commissioners through the organizational chart.
FISCAL IMPACT: The wage and benefit costs for the career advancement from an IS III
Network Tech to an IS IV Network Tech will be $1,268.80 in 2013. This will not have a material
impact on the currently approved IS budget nor future budgets. In 2013, salaries from vacant
positions will provide funding. In future years funds will be provided by annual Information
Services cost allocation fees.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached Central Services 2013 Organization Chart
allowing for reclassification from an IS Tech III to an IS Tech IV.
