There is hereby established a Department of
Electronic Data Processing, which Department shall be in charge of
the collation, processing, storing and dispensing, as requested by
other departments and officials, of information and data relating
to various City operations, functions and services.
[Amended 11-10-1980 by Ord. No. 15-1980]
The Department shall be under the general direction
and supervision of the Mayor and shall be under the immediate charge
of a director whose title shall be "Director of Data Processing."
The Director shall be a person qualified by experience and training
in the operation of such data processing equipment as the City shall
own, utilize or lease and the necessary programming and administration
attendant thereto.
The Mayor shall by regulation from time to time
designate such phases of the City's operation and the data, information
and recordkeeping attendant thereto as shall be transferred from manual
to automatic operation; provided, however, to allow for orderly transition,
that certain phases thereof may be operated on both a manual and automatic
basis. Such phases as are designated for automatic processing shall
thereafter, until otherwise changed and to that extent, be under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Electronic Data Processing.
The Department shall have such additional personnel
as may be provided for by budget and set forth in the Salary Ordinance
of the City.
[Amended 11-10-1980 by Ord. No. 15-1980]
The Director, with the approval of the Mayor,
may establish such regulations for the Department as may be necessary
to permit the accumulation of data, assemblage of records and programming
of the same and the dispensing and distribution of payrolls, notices
or other information, data, documents or instruments as required in
the performance of its duties.
The Department, with the approval of the Mayor,
may enter into such agreements as may be required with independent
or autonomous agencies of the City to perform data processing functions,
and the terms thereof and method of compensation therefor shall be
incorporated in any such agreement.
