AGENDA #6

 

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            Citizens’ Technology Committee – Alan Rimer, Chair

 

SUBJECT:       Response to Manager’s Comments on Citizen’s Technology Committee Technology Plan Proposal

 

DATE:             April 9, 2001

 

Attached are several documents:

 

·        Attachment 1 is a copy of the presentation to be made to the Council at the April 9, 2001 meeting;

 

·        Attachment 2 is a supplement to the Council presentation.  It provides list of possible outcomes from implementation of the Committee’s recommendations at the pace they recommend;

 

·        Attachment 3 is a copy of the February 26, 2001, Manager’s Response to the Citizens’ Technology Report.

 

The Citizens’ Technology Committee feels that the pace of the implementation of the recommendations embodied in the Manager’s response, while praiseworthy as a first step, does not sufficiently jump start the process.  Concern is expressed that without some significant initial commitment to an IT Department, infusion of technology will not sufficiently benefit the citizens, Council and the staff in a timely manner.

 

The Committee looks forward to entertaining questions from the Council.
