Fund departments of $142,260.07 and non -county agencies of $10,696.50. Specific detail is attached to

services within a fiscal year to work on unfunded mandates, with actual hours to be reported in the IT
Quarterly Development resolution beginning in FY 2013.

Division food services inspection state software requirements. The state has provided $5,000 for software

18. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) 2013-2014 MASTER PLAN
The IT Project Goal Summary and the Strategic Plan were distributed. Mr. Bertolini explained that the two-
year master plan process includes a series of reviews by Leadership Group s of project priorities, project
sizing and customer need. The Master Plan contains a list of leadership groups, definitions, and projects
containing detailed breakdowns of labor allocation. Hours are constantly revised as projects progress .
Every available hour is accounted for, is tracked each day and adjusted as necessary. Master Plan hours
budgeted for fixed labor have decreased and discretionary labor hours have increased over the last several
plans as larger projects are completed. IT touches base with its customer community weekly. Technology
upgrades are funded from IT equity and are not billed back to the customers. This leverages investment
and is built into hou rs.
Mr. Bertolini stated that IT is very advanced when compared nationally but to remain strategic to the
organization IT must remain relevant. Social media has had a major impact on society and is now being
allocated for in the master plan process. This includes E Government Cloud and G2GProjects. The
County is concentrating on Facebook and Twitter because this is what the general public is using to obtain
County information. Video and podcasting are becoming big and are another way the County is reaching
out to the public . People would rather watch a video then read a documen t.
IT staff are mostly technical people but are educated to act as ambassadors in providing outreach to
explain product availability and usage. IT is careful about the technology that is pushed out. Access
Oakland has been a huge success. GtoG Cloud programs were easy to implement and are easy to use.
Many users are very technically savvy and are using smart phones, PDAs, tablet, etc. These devices are
now outselling personal computers and IT is adjusting to this market .
Many technical people ar e leaving the area and it is hard to get them back. The County is working with
Human Resources to improve recruitment and with universities on this issue. Mr. Bertolini indicated that he
was more concerned about the middle group – those who are experienced but are leaving. IT had a
Succession Plan to bring these people in as its next leadership but they left for the private sector. The
County is looking for IT professionals willing to retool their skill sets and lead the young people coming in
and is working with MSU, OU and LTU on these issues . Soft skills are also a necessity because you are
interacting with others. Each year 8-10 interns are hired.
Commissioner Zack stated that as an organization the Co unty needs to invest in communities as wel l. It is
not just about jobs but where you live. T ransportation is a major issue. What should the County invest in
its communities to attract these people?
Taub moved to receive and file. Supported by Runestad.
Motion carried on a voice vote.
19. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF RADIO SYSTEM
AGREEMENT FOR THE NEW COUNTY -WIDE RADIO SYSTEM, OAKWIN

associated with use, operation and maintenance of the system assessed to the user shall be approved by
the board of Commissioners.
Mr. Hess stated that this is the last agency as king to join the system. Southfield has its own radio system,
which is very robust and was built up over years . The County has built an interface between its system and
Southfield’s and it is used on a regular basis.
