forwarded to the Council for consideration prior to filling the position. The pay range for <br />the shared IS position with Andover is approximately $44,000 to $56,000. <br /> <br />Since this position was not anticipated until 2003, it was not included in the 2002 budget. If <br />approved, this position will probably not be filled until April or May at a cost including <br />benefits of approximately $40,000 to $45,000 for 2002. Staff believes that part of this cost <br />may be recovered through savings in bidding and installation of new systems due to the IT <br />coordinator's expertise in areas that current staff does not have. Also, neither the police, <br />finance, nor administration departments have staff available to dedicate to oversee this <br />project; a dedicated IT coordinator can make sure that vendors are not recommending and <br />selling more than required. This position could be funded through the Council Contingency <br />and, possibly through the building project budget. Staff will be prepared to further address <br />the funding issue at the Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />The Council is asked to consider authorizing staff to create an IT Coordinator position and <br />advertising to fill the position. <br /> <br /> <br />
