Supervisors revise Board response to civil grand jury recommendation; Department of Technology outlines asset-management pilot
Summary
The committee received an update from the Department of Technology on a newly procured asset-management tool and approved a motion revising the Board—s response to a civil grand jury recommendation, saying implementation is not within the Board—s authority and noting ongoing work by city technology and comptroller staff.
The committee heard a brief presentation from the Department of Technology on an asset-management system the department said it procured in April and began configuring in July as a first step toward a citywide tool.
"We started configuring it in July," Brian Bayless said, and he said the department planned a data-center pilot as a proof of concept by year-end. Bayless described expected benefits including consolidated inventory, life-cycle tracking and the ability to identify dated assets that need replacement.
Rachel Sukerman of the Comptroller's Office offered to answer questions and said the Comptroller—s staff is engaged in the effort.
Separately, Supervisor Katie Tang moved to revise the Board—s response to Recommendation 13 of the 2012-13 civil grand jury report regarding city technology. The revised response, read into the record, said the recommendation would not be implemented by the Board of Supervisors because it is not within the Board's authority, and noted that the city CIO and the Comptroller's Office are working to implement the recommendation. The motion passed without recorded objection.
The committee continued the matter to the call of the chair for any necessary follow-up, and staff indicated they would return with further updates as the pilot progresses.
