The Information Systems and Technology Department (IST) serves the data, networking and voice needs of City staff and associated agencies.  Its mission is to provide a secure efficient and well-coordinated computing and voice environment through local and wide area network systems; desktop computer systems; cost effective software selection and licensing; and the use of shared peripheral devices on the network.

The IST Department also serves the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) needs of the City, its partners and the community.  These needs include printed maps in assorted sizes and applicable datasets.
