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. 13 Prepared by: Susan Dulek, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, IA 52240 (319) 356-5030 RESOLUTION NO. 10-28 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE USE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR THE LOCAL MATCH TO THE HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM (HMGP) WATER WELL PROTECTION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN THE GRANT AGREEMENT. WHEREAS, the City intends to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds to protect three water well heads; WHEREAS, these well heads were only saved by around the clock sandbagging efforts of staff and volunteers and were only accessible by boat; WHEREAS, these actions would provide protection to a minimum of a 500-year recurrence level; WHEREAS, if the application is approved, the federal government will provide funding for 75 percent of the costs and the State of Iowa will provide funding for 10 percent of the costs; WHEREAS, the remaining 15 percent is informally referred to as the local match; WHEREAS, the Iowa Department of Economic Development has agreed to provide funding for the local match through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program; and WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to use CDBG funds for the local match to the HMGP project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, THAT: 1. The City Manager is authorized to sign an agreement for the use of CDBG funds for the local match to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Water Well Protection Acquisition Project and is designated as the authorized representative in said agreement. 2.
