Jefferson County officials on July 29 praised county employees and staff for technology innovations and an awards showcase that county leaders said demonstrated improvements to service delivery.
Commissioner Zenzinger said, “it was a real pleasure to be able to attend last week the tech showcase” and highlighted an awards ceremony that recognized how county employees use technology for “better service delivery and greater efficiencies.” Commissioner Kerr also attended and said the event showed that “subtle innovations in how you use the software and how you use the technology can really make some big differences.”
County Manager Joe Kirby told the board the event generated “real energy in the room” and thanked staff for organizing the annual showcase. The managers’ and commissioners’ remarks indicate the county is emphasizing internal tech improvements as a tool to improve efficiency and customer service, though the meeting did not include presentations of specific projects or funding levels.
The board’s mentions came during its routine reports section after the meeting’s procedural business. County officials encouraged the public to view the award summaries and projects; the clerk noted links and additional materials are available on the county website and in county communications such as Engage Jeffco.
The board then moved on to other county business and scheduled additional briefings for later in the morning.
