Third Priority Focus Area: Information <br />Technology I Automation 1 Electronic Records 1 <br />Digital Payments <br />1. Further digitize departments, automate forms, digital signatures, track <br />inventory, eliminate paperwork, share communication platforms <br />This sounds simple, but there is no underlying foundation. Zero inventory <br />tracking. <br />2. Create standardized database across departments/divisions so all property <br />and individual information can be shared across the county without the <br />need to maintain separate databases and teams <br />Sounds simple, but would be a multi year phased implementation. <br />3. Commissioner Kusch mentioned the waste in payroll stub deployment. <br />The fact that its manual and could be automated. Folks can be emailed the <br />details, then snail mailed the actual paystub. Saves the cost of one full <br />time employee plus benefits and costs the amount of postage. <br />Does the Konno decision keep this position? I'll ask Keyra. <br />4. IT Department - Centralize purchasing of IT hardware for all departments. <br />Currently the understaffed IT department is constantly scrambling to meet <br />the demands of the various departments IT needs. One pain area for the <br />department is the purchasing of equipment. Departments are allowed to <br />purchase their own equipment when they need it. There is no lead time for <br />new hardware the departments purchase; putting the IT folks in a constant <br />reaction mode. The recommendation is to centralize IT hardware <br />purchasing, and loop in the IT department so they can plan for the new <br />equipment installation and configuration. <br />This would be a high priority. Inventory system, redesign the hardware <br />ordering process and implementation. <br />5. Ethics training - Reduce the in person, facility intensive environment by <br />electronically delivering the training in small interactive consumable <br />models that span no more than 25 minutes each. Allowing folks to <br />complete training during working hours over a period of time. <br />I've seen this done in commercial business with data privacy laws in the <br />USA. Need to pass by legal for first glance on feasibility. <br />
