Due to the rapid evolution <br /> and changes in information technology in the last few years,the position has faced many <br /> new challenges that have significantly impacted the position's scope of responsibility. <br /> Before initiating recruitment,the Manager's Office and Personnel have reviewed the <br /> position's duties and responsibilities. This process included getting feedback on the <br /> expected role of the Manager from County department heads and the data processing <br /> staff. <br /> As a result,the class specification for this position has been updated to reflect the <br /> position's major functions of planning, developing,organizing and directing a <br /> comprehensive information management program encompassing the areas of personal <br /> and mainframe computers,computer hardware and software,computer networks, systems <br /> with remote connections and office automation. <br /> In recognition of the changes in the field of information management and the County's <br /> expectations for this position, it is recommended that the class title of the Data <br /> Processing Manager be changed to Information Systems Director. It is also <br /> recommended that the salary grade remain the same. The current salary grade for this <br /> class is based on salary survey information obtained from other public employers. <br /> With approval of the new class title the position will be announced for recruitment as <br /> Information Systems Director at Salary Grade 80. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board amend the Classification and Pay Plan by changing <br /> the class title of Data Processing Manager to Information Systems Director. <br /> FILANA\CLASSB:Y\ABS7.WPD <br />
