GENERAL OPERATING FUND		INFORMATION SYSTEMS			PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT / DIVISION
							ACCOUNT  001-1070-557			The Information Systems Department's mission is to promote the use of information technologies in the most effective way possible, and to optimize delivery of information services to all City departments and Lawrence citizens.  The department's nine employees carry out this mission by providing support for these major functional areas:  Network & personal computer management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), midrange computer (AS/400) and application programming, telecommunications, document imaging, and Internet/web services. Much of the department's efforts are geared to maintaining a technology infrastructure extending to more than 30 building locations around the City.  Data networking, email services, personal computers, and telecommunications must be installed and maintained for each City facility.   Turnkey software applications and contracted training instruction are used to help keep staffing levels down and productivity high. Significant Issues for 2003 -  The increase in Personal Services for 2003 can be attributed to the 3% general wage adjustment and merit increases for eligible employees.
