INFORMATION SYSTEMS PLAN

In January 1991, Systems and Computer Technology (SCT) began an in-depth study of the City's current and future information systems requirements. An Information Systems Planning Committee comprised of all city department heads was formed to provide guidance to SCT as the plan was developed.

A presentation of the Strategic Information Systems Plan was given to members of Council by Mr. Scott Cornell, Principal Consultant of SCT. He explained that the Plan indicates 35 information systems that are needed for City departments to effectively provide service to the residents of Dover. Mr. Cornell stated that the Plan also recommends a series of strategies that involve enhancements to computer hardware, computer software and staffing levels within the data processing area. These strategies are to be employed over a seven year period.

The Long-Range Strategic Information Systems Plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. It was noted that a recommendation of the Information Systems Plan will be made by the Legislative and Finance Committee Finance Committee at the conclusion of the Council Workshop.

Mr. Weyandt moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Levitt and unanimously carried.
