2008 Budget Book - Kitsap County Government

Information Services
• Server Room Re-Configure 80% complete: The central computer facility was out of space,
electrical supply, and Air Conditioning. A multi-faceted approach of installing new Blade Server
technology, implementing Virtual Server, and a new Power Distribution System saved the County
several hundred thousand in remodeling and expansion costs.
• Enterprise Imaging: Continued the multi-year effort to capture government documents into
electronic records for greater efficiency of access and use. Departments included District Court,
Commissioners, and Public Works.
• Maintain Secure Operations of County Voice, Video, Data Communications, and
Computer/Technology Systems: Throughout the year accomplished patches, updates,
replacements, and repairs to 1,200 PC’s, 2,000 telephones, 300 Network Switches/Routers, 100
data bases, 60 Enterprise and Departmental Software Applications, and 115 Computer Servers.
2008 Goals and Objectives:
• We will contribute to Effective and Efficient County Services by implementing an Information
Services Steering Committee with representation from all Elected and Appointed Departments.
• We will contribute to Effective and Efficient County Services by collaborating with other county
agencies such as the cities and Kitsap Regional Coordination Council regarding shared use of
broadband network communications. This will allow opportunities for activities such as; shared
First Responder and Public Safety networks to co-exist on the same infra-structure as the Inter-
Governmental, COPs, Kit-Net, and CARE-Net backbone.
• We will contribute to Effective and Efficient County Services by collaborating with other county
agencies such as the cities, tribes, fire districts, as well as transit and utilities regarding shared
use Geographical Information Services (GIS). Sharing both data and staff resources of this
highly complex system reduce the cost of overall service and support for the taxpayers.
• We will contribute to Inclusive Government by expanding the services available to the citizens
of Kitsap County through the Web-site, such as link-access to Public Meeting documents and
Property Tax Distribution, showing the various categories of taxes and where they go.
• We will contribute to Effective and Efficient County Services by seeking and evaluating
technology solutions that will reduce the amount of staff time and effort to provide services, such
as Enterprise Imaging and User Productivity systems.
