q. Give reasons how new duties arose (statutes enacted, Ordinances,
Newly authorized programs, basis for increased workloads, etc.):
Development of new software applications and maintenance of existing
data processing applications reguire. systems analysis and planning.
To date, this has been primarily done by the Data Processing Manager,
but can nolonger be accomplished by one individual.
2. Sf reallocation, list only new duties. (Example: 1. Takes
dictation 40%; 2. Keeps office accounts 30%, etc.):
Systems Analysis & Planning 30%
3. Give reasons why new duties at higher level 'are needed and cannot
be assigned to classes at higher level or handled in other ways
such as short term contracts, etc. (Use productivity measurements
where possible.):
The County Data Processing Division has no-Systems Analyst
personnel on its staff. Systems Analysis is critical for a planned
approach to the in'stal~lation of new software systems. The existing
Data Processing Manager cannot accommodate these demands by himself.
The demand for new software systems by County 8gencies will grow at
an increasing rate as. departments become aware of the productivity
gains that are available through use of the computer. •This shortage
of systems analysis personnel is a long term problem and cannot be
handled by short term contracts.
r•
4.~' Was reallocation or reOclassification budgeted an~if not, why were
manpower needs not planned through budgetary process?
Reallocation was not budgeted as it was felt that the current EDP staff
demands could be handled within its existing personnel structure. The
demand for computer services by ether County agencies has been much
greater than anticipated and currently the Data Processing Manager
is in need of assistance in systems analysis & planning.
