Org Charts

Updated org charts were passed out. Chris explained that the org piece of IT reorg was mostly done. The latest org charts for the most part show the new structure that has been established by the reorg.

IT Reorg Update

The IT reorg org piece will be closed out as a project in the King County budget as of June 2010. The technology piece will continue through the end of 2010. Reports on IT reorg Phase 1 completion will go to Council as of October 2010. After that, the project will go into an ongoing operations phase. Phase 1 has been for the Executive Branch department/agencies. Peg asked about the long-term plans. Chris answered that Phase 2 for the separately electeds will be considered at a later time. Budget and other considerations will need to be taken into account.

Ken asked about the charter for JLMIT. The charter was talked about in context of the current stage of the reorg. It was agreed that the charter should be reviewed.

ABT was brought up and whether to discuss it in JLMIT. Jim said there were other ABT meetings going on with the union reps. It was mentioned that ABT communication should occur in a timely enough fashion to allow affected staff to adjust and plan for it as well as employee reps being able to provide input about proposed changes and an adequate bargaining timeframe if needed. Chris said she would look into this.

New Classifications – Supervisor/Manager

Chris described that there were new IT classifications being created including IT Supervisor, Manager I, II, and III. Some of these have already been applied in DNRP. DOT is in the works and later these are planned to be done to all other Exec Branch departments. Jim said there are some issues about whether the bodies of work are the same as existing positions. The County thus far is maintaining they are new bodies of work. It is not known whether some of them will be considered reclasses or new positions. More negotiations will need to happen. Peg asked about PDQs. Peg pointed out that PDQs had been agreed to be stored in JLMIT Public Folders. Chris said she would check on the Public Folders.

CIO

Chris described how, at that Monday’s Central IT management team meeting, David Martinez had announced that he would be leaving the County. There will be a recruitment process for a new CIO.

The meeting adjourned around 11:30 am.
