MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 2010
To: Dale Hellin ,Interim City Manager `~-;- ~ c
From: Kevin O'Malley, Director of Finance
Re: Senior Programmer/Analyst and Systems Project Manager Positions i TS Division
The Information Technology Services Division (ITS) is recommending that the current Senior
Programmer/Analyst Position be eliminated and a new position titled Systems Project Manager
be authorized.
As you may recall, the ITS division has three Senior Programmer/Analyst positions in the Fiscal
Year 2010 budget and, with the retirement of a Senior Programmer/Analyst in December 2009,
the ITS Coordinator recommends not filling that position for Fiscal Year 2011. The Senior
Programmer/Analyst who retired in December 2009 had been with the City of Iowa City for over
27 years and had written a significant number of programs that we are currently utilizing. The
remaining two Senior Programmer Analysts are able to support the existing programs until we
install the Enterprise Resource Planning software that was purchased in October 2009.
The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software from Innoprise Software, Inc. of Broomfield,
Colorado includes the following modules: Human Resources/Payroll, Financials, Citizen Access,
Customer Information System/Utility Billing, Work Orders, and Community Development.
Deploying all these modules will take approximately two years to complete. The ITS Division is
recommending hiring a Systems Project Manager to direct and coordinate all aspects of the
software module implementation. We have structured the payments for the software to match
our expected completion of each module. It is my opinion that in order to ensure a successful
implementation, aSystems Project Manager is necessary to keep this very complex software
project on task and ensure a successful outcome. The budget for the Enterprise Resource
Planning software is in two capital improvement projects totaling $1,160,000. The Systems
Project Manager will be paid from these capital improvement project funds, namely Utility Bill
Software Replacement and Payroll & Human Resources Software.
In summary, approval of this request would result in anet-neutral effect on number of staff in the
ITS Division. Funding of the new position would not come from the General Fund, but rather
from capital improvement funding. Candidates for the new position would be informed that the
tenure of the position would be limited to two years or the lifetime of the software
implementation project. After the implementation project is completed, it is projected that staff
resources will be directed to operations and internal support of the ERP software.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have on this request.
