The Mission of the Information Technology Department is to develop, leverage and implement technology to make Government more efficient, transparent and responsive to Citizens. This also includes driving business efficiency and "Green IT" solutions at the desktop and core systems level.
Costs include City personnel costs, costs for outside maintenance and professional support of City computer equipment and program software, providing technology related training to City personnel, telephone costs, and operational and maintenance equipment and supplies. Information Technology operates as an internal service fund, meaning that Information Technology charges the other departments for services provided. The rates for the services are based on cost recovery.
