SCOTT COUNTY IT COLLABORATION AND CITY COMMUNICATIONS
UPDATE
Scott Countv IT Collaboration: Over the past eight years, the City has made a
concerted effort to build relationships and leverage partnerships to advance
initiatives, streamline processes, and stretch the taxpayer's dollar. Examples of
positive results of this "partnering approach" include the development and
implementation of the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, the formation of SCALE,
completion of the joint training facility, installation of lights at Thomas Ryan Park,
the County-wide implementation of the social host ordinance, joint power
agreements for the use of personnel and equipment, and commuter and
circulator transit service, among others.
In an economy that requires governments to continue to "do more with less",
these types of collaborations have been imperative to the services we provide.
Our latest initiative is a collaboration with Scott County to explore opportunities
that will expand utilization of the fiber loop installed by the County in 2008, as
well as supplement the City's IT resources.
Kelly Meyer will give a brief update on this initiative.
ALTERNATIVES: No formal action is required.
