IT director seeks upgraded role; commissioners approve senior systems administrator position
Summary
Grand County IT requested eliminating an open Computer Technician I position and adding a Senior Systems Administrator to improve redundancy and succession; commissioners approved the reclassification, which increases 2025 personnel costs by about $30,000.
Thomas Johnson, Grand County Chief Information Security Officer and IT Director, proposed removing an open Computer Technician I position and adding a Senior Systems Administrator position to better align skill sets, coverage and succession in the county’s information-technology group.
Johnson said the change would increase 2025 personnel expenses by approximately $30,000 but would reduce single-threaded dependencies on a single high-level technician and add needed redundancy for high-level projects. Commissioners asked questions about coverage and redundancy; Johnson said creating the senior role would enable the department to handle both project work and high-level technical activities more reliably.
The board voted to remove the Computer Technician I position and add the Senior Systems Administrator role.
Ending: Personnel change approved; HR and finance will implement the position change and reflect the updated salary and budget information.
