RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25610 to transfer position 17186 Network Administrator I (represented) and position 6065 Information Systems Project Manager (represented), and incumbents from the Library to the Department of Information Technology.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs for the aforementioned positions will be charged back to the Library.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In January 2020, the Library's network was compromised resulting in a security breach that severely affected both external and internal operations. Measures taken to eliminate the breach were significant, and outside experts were required to assess and deploy effective security solutions. As with most departments in the County, Library IT employees need ongoing training to stay current with best practices. To institute and maintain a new level of security, the Library would like to partner with the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) to ensure the Library's operations will be protected.

As such, two positions currently assigned to the Library will be transferred to DoIT. Once the positions are transferred and the staff are adequately trained, they will coordinate IT operations for the Library and play a lead role in the restructure of the Library network.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Library not partner with DoIT, there will be insufficient support of the Library IT network.
