Improvement Package Summary
1 of 6
This improvement item would recommend adding a part-time (0.5 FTE, GE-25) Secretary/Administrative
Assistant to the Information Services Department. Due to the growth in staff, technology support needs, and
workload of the Information Services staff, there is a gap in staff support services, including payroll
preparation, budget preparation, processing purchasing cards, and purchase orders. There is also a need
for call-taking, council agenda item submission, and meeting scheduling. All the staff support tasks are being
done by IS staff that could be better spent on technical leadership and support. This improvement item
supports the Council's goal of High-Performance City Organization: Effective Service Delivery.

This improvement item will provide an additional core switch for the core stack at City Hall Annex. A core
switch is a high-capacity switch placed at the core layer (the backbone of the network.) Core switches serve
as the gateway to a wide area network (WAN) or the Internet - they provide the final aggregation point for
the network and allow multiple aggregation modules to work together. The switch performs the main
functions in the network, including but not limited to: central functions such as routing; monitoring/
transferring of data packets; defining the route of destination IP; providing high speed at the backbone; more
secure overall data connections internally and on the web as additional buildings, sites and users are added.
There are numerous sites, including but not limited to, SCADA, new offices (Office of Shared Prosperity),
and Schmitt Island that will most likely max out the number of available ports on the current core. This
proposal includes the switch, configuration, and installation. This project addresses the council's goal of
high-performance government-network security.

This improvement item would provide security software and tools for conducting monthly scans of our
technology environment to show areas of concern and where we need to make changes to better secure
our network/systems. The monthly scans would show the vulnerabilities and it would also show if the
changes made the month prior have been addressed, giving a clear vision of strengths and weaknesses.
This improvement addresses the council's priority of high-performance government network security.

This improvement item would provide an online, course-based learning system specifically geared to
advanced technical training and support for IT professionals. The package proposes a course-based
solution with a repository of thousands of structured learning classes with secure, hands-on content,
including sandboxes, labs, and real-world projects. The courses are updated as technology changes. Some
of the immediate priority training needed include SQL advanced, M365 admin advanced, Microsoft Azure
management training, cyber security, group policy/active directory, and server/virtual/cloud. Courses could
be assigned and tracked through the Neogov system. This improvement item supports the Council's goal of
high-performance government.

This improvement item would provide for 3 staff members to attend the 2024 annual user and education
conference for the new Tyler software. Travel, per diem, and hotel costs are calculated for 3 staff, and
registration is for 1, as our Tyler support agreement includes 2 conference attendance passes. The
conference provides training on the Tyler modules the City uses, along with networking with the Tyler team,
to address issues that we were encountering at the time and to gather contacts for support depending on
the area of expertise. The other beneficial networking is with other entities using Tyler products. This
improvement item responds to the Management in Progress under high-performance government -
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Implementation.

This improvement item provides for replacements of 5 projectors that are either assigned to the IS
Department or have come to the department from other departments. All are at least six years old and would
be used for presentations and used for check-out for presentations in locations where a projector is not
available or as a contingency in conference rooms should a projector or smart TV fail. This improvement
item responds to the council goal of high-performance government.

Revenue
9. Specialized Services revenue related to department contracts and maintenance recharges decreased
from $369,340 in FY 2023 to $327,447 in FY 2024. Information Services uses a recharging system for help
desk support, PC set-up, troubleshooting, and repair using service agreements with departments.
Recharges are for labor and enterprise software costs allocated based on number of users, number of
devices and number of licenses consumed.
10. Central IT Processing increased from $243,467 in FY 2023 to $429,018 in FY 2024. The increase in IS
recharges is a result of additional employees hired to support the ERP system and the additional
Microsoft365 licensing required for the FY 2023 improvement item of e-mail for all employees. In the Fiscal
Year 2023 budget, the Information Services Department added 3.0 FTE (Help Desk – ERP 1.0 FTE, User
Technology Specialist – ERP 1.0 FTE and Chief Security Officer 1.0 FTE.) There was also an addition of the
Law Enforcement User Support Specialist (1.0 FTE) from the Police Department budget and direct report to
the Information Services Department.
The Help Desk and User Technology Specialist have a primary role of supporting the ERP system. The
scope of ERP support is new for Information Services and is reflected in the associated support recharges
for these positions. The Law Enforcement User Support Specialist, Lead Application/Network Analyst, and
Intern are recharged 100% to DLEC which in turn splits those costs 50/50 with Dubuque County. The
additional position of Law Enforcement User Support Specialist impacted the recharge to the Dubuque Law
Enforcement Center.
Microsoft365 licensing increased $18,000 for FY 2024 largely due to the addition of G1 (kiosk) licensing for
new e-mails. Software for e-mail filtering and retention also showed increases which are needed for any
added Microsoft license.
