Significant Budget Issues
• Forty three percent of the I/S Expense Budget is tied to the economy for the cost of supplies and services from vendors.
As inflation continues to rise at 3 – 5% annually, and the Counties Property and Sales Tax revenue are either capped or
declining, there is little or no funding to keep-pace with technology advances.
• Information Services has become very creative in finding ways to accomplish two or more projects with one effort and/or
limiting resources to only those projects with the true and highest Return on Investment. This has caused many
worthwhile and value-added projects to be deferred or dropped. Examples from 2008 include:
o 2010 Census and County-wide Situs Addressing; 911 Public Safety First Responders, includes all four cities
o CRM Open Line, assisting Public Works, Community Development, Commissioners, and Discovery-Disclosure
o Land Information-Permitting, Assessor/Treasurer, and Oracle Data Base upgrades combined into one effort
o Fairgrounds Fiber upgrade; BKAT Head-End, replace old T-1 circuits, improve Emergency Operations Network
