IT director signals retirement; department recommends keeping five staff amid web-accessibility and cybersecurity needs
Summary
The IT presenter said he will retire at an unspecified date and recommended retaining five IT staff due to upcoming web-accessibility requirements and cybersecurity needs; the board discussed training and overtime budgeting for continuity.
Mr. Niffenegger told the board he expects to retire but has no target date yet and asked the county to keep five IT staff to handle upcoming responsibilities. "I'll be retired tiring soon. No target date in sight as yet," he said, adding that web-accessibility work and cybersecurity demands could require dedicated effort.
He recommended maintaining the five-person staff and said cybersecurity might require one full-time person and a quarter-time equivalent from others. The presenter also said the department budgets modest overtime so work can be completed without repeated returns: "We do maybe 0.25 or 0.5 an hour per pay period ... it's just there we have it." The board discussed training for county staff on tools such as Office 365.
