Five-year information technology modernization
Summary
The city's computer systems are aging, siloed and vulnerable to hackers. The new five-year plan spends roughly $2 million a year at peak to fix cybersecurity, replace the outdated ERP and build a 311-style system so residents can report potholes online instead of calling council members. Actual spending still needs yearly budget approval.
