City IT director flags cybersecurity needs, HB 96 obligations and asset management gaps
Summary
Sean Weir, director of Enterprise Technology Solutions, told the committee the city is generally meeting IT performance targets but needs continued investments for cybersecurity (HB 96 compliance), asset management and an IT service management system.
Sean Weir, director of Enterprise Technology Solutions, presented ETS—Y26 performance measures and highlighted cybersecurity and asset‑management priorities the department says are necessary to reduce operational risk.
Weir said the department has historically met targets for phishing simulation and project management metrics and plans to raise the desktop support satisfaction target from 85% to 90% for FY27. He said ETS is conducting disaster recovery and cybersecurity tabletop exercises across departments and has capital requests tied to compliance with House Bill 96, which includes cybersecurity requirements.
Weir also described gaps in IT asset visibility and service‑management tracking, and said an enterprise asset management system would clarify software maintenance costs and device inventories. Council members asked whether the city has sufficient investment to prevent ransomware‑style outages. Weir said training and procedural improvements are a priority and that capital requests are in process; he declined to publicize detailed vulnerabilities.
Ending: ETS presentation was filed for committee record; councilors requested continued updates on cybersecurity investments and capital requests.
