HOW TO USE THIS POLICY BUDGET DOCUMENT
PURPOSE
The Policy Budget defines goals and objectives for all City departments and activities, relates them to
cost and resource requirements and attempts to establish measures for evaluating accomplishment.
Specific improvement packages are developed and included in the Policy Budget for alternative funding
and service levels. The Policy Budget document shows the budget by line item for each Department
and provides a basis for fiscal control once the budget is adopted.
The Policy Budget emphasizes objectives, accomplishments, and alternative funding and service levels
and is intended to keep the attention of the City Council and public on the major policy decisions
involving what services the City government will provide, who will pay for them, and the implications of
such decisions.
FORMAT
The Policy Budget is organized by Department/Division and provides detail for all activities that make
up each Department/Division. Each Department/Division tab includes the following information:
1) Department/Division Financial Summary: The budget highlights portion of the Department
Summary reflects total expenses for the maintenance level budget (cost to continue at the same
level of service) and approved improvement packages for all activities within the Department by
expenditure category (employee expense, supplies and services, machinery and equipment,
and debt service), and the funding sources that pay those expenses. The property tax portion of
the funding is reflected, noting the increase or decrease from the prior years adopted budget.
For Departments which are self supporting (i.e. Water, Water Resources & Recovery Center,
Refuse and Salt Operations (part of Public Works), Media Service, Transit, Parking, Stormwater
(part of Engineering)), the net operating surplus/deficit is reflected, noting the increase or
decrease in the fund from the prior years adopted budget.
This summary displays all Improvement Packages submitted by Department/Division
Managers, with a notation of whether they were recommended by the City Manager, and then
approved by the City Council. Those noted with a `YES' were added to the maintenance level
budget and are reflected in the Department Funding Summary and those noted with a `NO' were
not approved.
And finally, this summary explains significant line item detail by expenditure category, notable
revenue changes, and miscellaneous information regarding the maintenance level budget.
These are the review notes prior to adding any improvement packages.
2) Memo Addressing Budget Issue (optional): If there is an important budget issue that needs
further explanation, a memo will be provided.
3) Department's Organizational Chart (optional): Shows how a Department is structured.
Usually included for larger more complex Departments.

Departments plan on accomplishing in the near future.
5) Department/Division's Goals and Performance Measures by Activity: This is a written
activity statement and a matrix for each activity which includes activity objectives, relationship to
City Council Goals & Priorities, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Performance measures
are included for each activity to evaluate activities and ensure that the approved levels of
funding yield the expected results. Icons for each KPI visually indicate how well an objective is
doing and represent the following:

Improvement Package Summary
1 of 9
This improvement package is for the creation of a new User Technology Specialist under the Information
Technology (IT) department (1.00 FTE, GE-29).As the City organization continues to grow, so does the
demand for IT infrastructure and support services. Timely and effective technical support is crucial to
maintain productivity and minimize disruptions. As the Information Technology department has grown over
the past few years, functional areas have been created within the department, but with this growth it has
also created gaps. The structure has gone from having six technicians, to two within the ticketing system
and multiple deploy technicians, to not having any within that role. To provide the best service needed,
moving forward this position would help fill the gaps in the ticketing system and will be used as the deploy
technician. The importance of this position also coincides with the Information Technology department
moving to a new location in 2024. The goal is to keep the Helpdesk positions in-house to provide great
customer service through the ticketing and phone systems and the User Technology Specialist would be the
on-site technician to resolve issues, deploy new computers and asset management. The other areas this
position would help in are patch management, computer installations and the overflow issues that arise with
the Tyler ERP system. This improvement package responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible,
High-Performance City Organization.

This improvement package request is an alternative proposal to improvement package request 1 of 9. In the
event that improvement package request 1 of 9 cannot be funded, this alternative proposal seeks to
upgrade a current Help Desk Support Technician position (1.00 FTE, GE-27) with a new User Technology
Specialist position (1.00 FTE, GE-29), resulting in no change in FTEs to the Information Technology
Department.As the City organization continues to grow, so does the demand for IT infrastructure and
support services. Timely and effective technical support is crucial to maintain productivity and minimize
disruptions.As the Information Technology department has grown over the past few years, functional areas

This improvement package will be used for the new office that the Information Technology department is
moving to in 2024. This package aims to enhance employee well-being and increase productivity by
providing ergonomically designed chairs and standing desks to the staff. The health and comfort of our
employees are paramount to the city's success. Prolonged sitting and poor posture at work can lead to
discomfort, decreased productivity, and long-term health issues. Ergonomically designed furniture is proven
to mitigate these risks and improve overall well-being. This improvement package responds to the council
goal of Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization.

This improvement package will bring together several pieces of software that we currently use under one
umbrella: Asset Management, Patch Management, Software Deployment,App Management, Data Loss
Prevention, Ransomware Protection, Mobile Device Management, BitLocker Management, Remote Access
and Troubleshooting, OS Imaging and Deployment, as well as others. This new software includes advanced
security features to protect our data, safeguard against cyber threats, and ensure compliance with industry
standards. It automates routine tasks such as software updates, patch management, and device
provisioning, reducing manual workload and minimizing downtime. With a centralized dashboard, we can
easily monitor and manage all our devices, regardless of their location, ensuring consistency and control.
The software enables remote troubleshooting and support, allowing us to resolve issues quickly and
efficiently, even for remote or off-site devices. We currently spend $20,000 + on software that covers some

of the list above. This new software would cover everything we currently have in place, plus add in
automation, secure remote access, security tools and a more complete system overall. This improvement
package responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization.

Network/System Administrator and the Chief Information Technology Security Officer. Investing in the
education and training of staff is essential for the ongoing security and resilience of our organization. This
proposed budget allocation will not only enhance our cybersecurity capabilities, but also ensure compliance,
effective leadership, and the ability to respond swiftly to security incidents. This investment is a strategic
imperative to safeguarding our digital assets and maintaining our organization's reputation in the face of
evolving cyber threats. This allocation could be used for training classes, conferences, or other education
needs to keep our staff and organization at the forefront of industry developments. This improvement item
responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization.

This improvement package request is to send the Lead Application/Network Analyst from the Information
Technology (IT) department to the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference. The Chief of
Police, who has attended this conference in the past, has recommend the Lead Application/Network Analyst
attend this conference due to the conference's emphasis on technology related content. The three tenets of
the conference are training, networking, and exhibit hall education. Technology plays an increasingly
important role in the daily work of officers on the street, equipping officers with tools that have the potential
to increase safety, efficiency, and effectiveness. While these technological advancements have their
benefits, they can also present new challenges for law enforcement. New technologies such as body
cameras, updated CAD/RMS software, digital evidence, automated license plate readers and camera
technologies drive the need to attend a conference from the perspective of IT. This improvement item
responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible, High-PerFormance City Organization.

This improvement package request would replace the old model emergency radio in the Information
Technology (IT) department that is at the end of it's useful life with the current model that is being used by
Police and Fire. This replacement would also allow for the latest encryption technology. This replacement
would switch the device from OnCall to use for Emergency Operations Center events, and the device would
be programmed to get all needed channels. This replacement would allow the IT department user to be
accessible during events in case cell phone services are out of use during an emergency. This improvement
package responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization.

This improvement package is for a city-wide audio/visual (A/V) maintenance contract.As we move into the
future, we continue to rely on A/V technology for presentations, interviews, and daily operations, maintaining
the functionality and reliability of ourA/V equipment is of paramount importance. Regular maintenance is
crucial to prevent downtime, ensure optimal performance, and extend the lifespan of our valuable A/V
assets. With this contract, we will be able to have regular inspections of ourA/V equipment to identify any
issues or potential problems, scheduled maintenance tasks, including cleaning firmware/software updates,
and system calibration, to prevent issues before they occur, and it would allow us to have first line of
defense service for deployment techs to resolve issues. We currently pay $100 an hour for any services that
need to happen on any of our A/V setups, but not having a contract also creates delays and system
outages, as we have seen in the past. This would eliminate those delays and would allow for better system
up-time. This improvement package responds to the council goal of Financially Responsible, High-
PerFormance City Organization.
