Hawai`i County Charter Commission -2 August 10, 2018 CHR. ADAMS: I think the proper thing to do is, I may, I mentioned that we would like to do that, but the proper way to get you the information that we are looking for, is to actually send you a memo or a letter, so we'll do that. MS. SCHOEN: Okay, thanks. CHR. ADAMS: At this time, would like us to move on to our Department of Information Technology. Is the Director here? Absolutely. That's great. I'll let you say your name because I have not had the opportunity and great opportunity necessarily to meet you. c. Department of Information Technology -- Director; Jules Ung (Note: At this time, Department of Information Technology Director Jules Ung came forward to address the members of the Cormnission. Ms. Ung presented a document for the record. See Charter Communication No. 1.5) MS. UNG: Good afternoon my name is Jules Ung. I am the Director of IT (Information Technology) for Hawai`i County. Nice to meet you. CHR. ADAMS: Thank you for being here. Absolutely. MS. UNG: Thank you. CHR. ADAMS: And since we have— a Commissioner just arrived, I'll just repeat what I had said earlier on, what we are doing is allowing the presentation to be complete and then we will ask our questions at that time. Thank you so much. Please continue. MS. UNG: So thank you for this opportunity to update our little section of the Charter. I did have a handout with two pages. Underneath is the original Charter and the top page is some of our proposed verbiage. Overall, we think that it was very well written. We would just like to update some of the terminology and concepts to reflect some more modern terminology and concepts. But in general, it provides room for growth and expansion, and if you have any questions regarding some of those proposed terms, we are happy to start that conversation. CHR. ADAMS: May I ask, can you give us a brief synopsis of what your department looks like and exactly what you do? MS. UNG: Sure. So we have 21 staff in two divisions. Our networking division oversees networking and shared services. So it's called systems support and that's actually the County fiber as well as the servers, the switches, the hardware of the County network. Additionally, we have a user support division that Page 10
