• Can the position be filled internally? I am not aware of any person that meets the education and experience requirements of all duties required. • What is the impact (i.e., to residents, business owners, employees, and/or operations) if the position is not filled? The impact would be a delay in time to all parties mentioned, if for example, our current IT is out -of -the office or solving another problem. As mentioned earlier, any down time to an employee is a cost in lost production. • Can the service provided be reduced, eliminated, or contracted out? The service cannot be eliminated. In contracting out, you are at their mercy for when they can attend to the city's needs which affects employee productivity and customer response. • What is the budgetary impact if the position is not filled (e.g., additional overtime/compensatory time off costs). The budgetary impact would have a direct impact if a contracted service needed to be contacted. An indirect impact would be the cost associated with employees not being able to perform their job duties. • What are the circumstances that warrant the creation of this new position? The city is ever -advancing in its tech needs. Not only do we have a new fiber line connecting city hall, fire & pw, but as listed several times the ever -changing advancements in technology. Something that was purchased a year ago, can be considered obsolete in the IT world. The city's goals and mission are to provide an outstanding level of service to the public and employees and this helps serve that mission. 2. What is the total annual cost of the position (e.g., salary, taxes, benefits, equipment, etc.)? This position would be for twenty hours per week. The position is budgeted at step 1 and would be a total expense of approximately $24,100 for year 2014.
