Monthly Department Report – Information Systems
Memo
To: City Council
From: Chris Curtin, InfoSys Manager
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 6/3/19
Re: Monthly Department Report – May 2019
1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
InfoSys and Finance have deployed Caselle Connect. The first module deployed is budgetary reporting.
This allows each Department head to have insight into their Operating or Fund budgets. Information is
up to the minute. There are several additional modules being reviewed for deployment (timekeeping,
budget development, purchase order process, etc.)
2. Personnel:
Chris Curtain, Information Systems (InfoSys) Manager, will be visiting the City of Ammon for a tour
of their fiber project. He will be meeting with Bruce Patterson to discuss the financials surrounding his
implementation and will spend some time with their installation team to learn about the costs and hurdles
they see. The goal is to also meet with Robert Peterson to discuss his piece on the puzzle of head end
billing.
The InfoSys Manager will be attending the AIC conference in Boise held June 19-21.
3. Software Applications and Services:
Fiber installation has begun on the route from City Hall to Sansom Trail connecting the Airport, Parks
and Recreation and the Police Department. It is expected this portion will complete before July and will
then move to the Public Works to Water Treatment Plant route. Staff is in discussion with Syringa and
Cable One to work out the middle mile portion of the project. An agenda bill to approve the “Rapid”
logo for branding of the City’s fiber utility will be presented at the June 13 Council meeting.
