Caulfield, City Manager Tho Kraus, Assistant City Manager/Administrative Services Date: July 08, 2019 Subject: 6-Year (2019-2024) Information Technology Strategic Plan Update BACKGROUND The City updates the 6-Year Information Technology Strategic Plan as part of the upcoming 2019/2020 biennial budget process. The purpose of this memo is to share the updated plan to the Mayor and City Council in advance of the budget process and provide an update on the status of 2018/2019 projects. STATUS OF 2018/2019 PROJECTS Projects Completed in 2018 Council Chambers Technology Upgrade - Budget $126,000 / Actual $126,000 Completion Date: 4th Quarter 2018 The Information Technology Division completed the replacement of the existing legacy chamber technology solution in 2018. Numerous adjustments and configuration changes were made to improve on the audio experience during council study sessions over the third and fourth quarters of 2018. The new system improves efficiency and promotes advancement in technology including the ability to stream meetings, enhanced viewing options and multi-purpose use to include potential cameras and audio systems outside of city hall such as Ft. Steilacoom Park. The system is used to broadcast live council meetings, provide audio/video capability for city-wide functions and real time video conferencing. Additional speakers and MIC inputs were added in 2018 to allow for enhanced audio near the rear entry and flag pole areas. Wireless Access Points (Wi-Fi) – Budget $15,000 Actual $5,000 Estimated Completion Date: 3rd Quarter 2018 As of today there have been 10 new Wi-FI access points installed at City Hall, 2 at Ft. Steilacoom Park near the ballfields, 1 at the Skate Park, 1 at the Sound Transit station and 1 ready for deployment at the 512 park & ride. There are also 3 wireless point to point connections at Ft. Steilacoom Park servicing all the Wi-Fi access points. These wireless devices allow for remote access to city resources and guest wireless services for the public. They also provide secure access to police officers to upload in-car video to the datacenter versus having to do this at the station. Continuation of the Wi-Fi project will occur in 2019 allowing for additional locations for officers to upload in car video via high-speed connections. Wi-Fi Locations Public Available City Hall Yes Police Station No Sounder Station No Ft. Steilacoom Park Yes Skate Park Yes 10 Return to Agenda Task Management System – Budget $75,000 Estimated Completion Date: CANCELLED Over the past year, the Information Technology Division provided the Parks & Recreation Division with a new set of tools eliminating the need for any new system at this time. After reviewing the project in its entirety and assessing the new tools that were provided it was determined that it was in the best interest of the city to table this project and revisit in the future if needs change. The Information Technology department is requesting to move the funding from this project to another project to focus on security and long term backups. In an effort to ensure the City continues to have the ability to backup system(s) in real time and have this data available in the event of a disaster or recovery is needed, it’s imperative that tools are in place to address these specific areas. We must protect more data, now even faster, to reduce risk, meet SLA’s (service level agreements) and comply with State laws for retention. The following chart outlines areas of need, which will provide additional resources in these required areas which the city council approved as part of the 2019 carry forward budget adjustment. $45,000 – Scalable, Reliable and Cloud Enabled backup appliance to ensure short and long-term storage. $15,000 – Robust multi drive tape solution to provide secure backups for off-site storage. $15,000 – Security enhancements to existing gateways to protect against external threats and malware attacks. Computer Replacement - Budget $138,750 in each year 2018/2019 / Actual (2018) $131,827 Estimated Completion Date: 4th Quarter 2021 The Information Technology Division continues replacement of desktops & laptops throughout the city, which include desktops, virtual thin client stations, laptops and mobile devices such as tablets. The project is an annual refresh program, which targets end user devices, as they are critical to the success of the city. As of today there have been a total of 23 desktops, 68 tablets (mostly police) and 3 laptops deployed across the city. Police in car video system – Budget $50,000/year Actual $52,000 Estimated Completion: Ongoing Working with Police, the Information Technology Division has successfully implemented a new in car video system along with associated servers and hardware, which shall replace the existing Panasonic units currently in use. This project is a multi-year project. As of Dec 31, 2018 there are 16 in-car systems, 1 body worn camera. City-Wide Camera System - Budget $50,000 Actual $71,329 Estimated Completion Date: 4th Quarter 2018 Over the past year the Information Technology Division has replaced (60) cameras located throughout the City. This deployment consists of numerous locations to include city hall, police, O&M, Ft. Steilacoom Park and the skate park. The city has also migrated to the Pelco™ software which provides real time remote access to authorized personnel. Continued evaluation and review will occur to determine if there are additional needs throughout the city and will be addressed as necessary. Savings from other projects covered the overages on this project. Location Cameras Public Viewing Ft. Steilacoom Park & Pavilion 6 2 Ft.

This process will modernize the system; provide additional enhancements to include video, enhanced customer service options and to provide a solution, which not only looks better, but one that works better for both visitors and search engines. 2018 Carried Over To Be Completed In 2019 Broadcast Streaming Council Meetings – Budget $10,000 Currently achieved via YouTube at no cost. Continued evaluation will occur moving forward to ensure the best solution is in place to store the video for public use. These funds are to be carried over in the event that the current service rolls into a paid solution.

Older computers are unlikely to support newer generation operating systems in the future. Whether by hardware failure or software obsolescence the city will need to replace computers and mobile devices to continue to function and provide services to the general public. Funds should be set aside yearly to ensure a proper refresh cycle exists. Continued investments in the city's virtual infrastructure should be a priority as this will drive the cost down for hardware replacements and provide a platform agnostic solution for mobile devices throughout the city. Investment in mobile technology will provide robust tools and decrease costs associated with full laptop or desktop stations. Continued use of mobile technology within the Police Department such as tablets and enhanced smartphones will also cut costs and provide tools necessary for officers in the field. Current replacement cycle for existing systems is 4 years thus the need to set aside $138,750 each year will allow for replacements of aging laptops, mobile devices & desktop computers. 503.0018 Document Management System – Electronic Records - Budget $300,000 Estimated Completion Date: 4th Quarter 2020 Due to the immediate need to replace the city’s permitting system, the start of the document management project has been put on hold due to the immediate need for a new permitting system. The project will pick up after the completion of the permitting system project or as available time permits. In January 2019, the city had received 17 responses to the RFP that was issued in late 2018. As of June 15, the project was in process with vender selection was underway although has now been put on hold. This system is a collection of technologies that work together to provide a comprehensive solution for managing the creation, capture, indexing, storage, retrieval, and disposition of records and information assets within the city. Total allocated funds are $300,000 over a two-year period. As of the close of the RFP on January 25th the city has received a total of 13 bids. Information Technology Division team members and the City Clerk are reviewing the submissions to determine the top 3 solutions which meet the needs of the city. Demos will be presented to the city to showcase the software and provide greater in depth review of their capabilities. This process could take up to 3 months to complete to allow the selected vendors to put together applicable demos for review. 503.0019 Vulnerability & Penetration Tests – Budget $25,000 Actual $13,982 Estimated Completion Date 4th Quarter 2021 As of 5/15/2019, The Information Technology Division in partnership with FR Secure® completed the city’s first third party external penetration test. This was a comprehensive test performed against the city’s primary data center. The primary objective of testing is to ensure that reasonable technical controls are in place and effective. External penetration testing focuses on gaining unauthorized access to a public facing host such that unauthorized access would result in reputational or financial loss. The penetration testers were unable to leverage any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations to compromise the external environment. Upon completion of the new data center at the police station, an additional test will be performed to ensure the integrity of the new system(s). 13 Return to Agenda 503.0025 Redundant Data Circuits – Budget $10,000/Annually Estimated Completion 3rd Quarter 2019 Afterman months of no progress by CenturyLink, the team has decided to move away from the initial selected vendor to Verizon. The Information Technology Division continues to work with the vendor to install new fiber connections to the ATMS building that will in turn provide redundant connectivity to the internet and South Sound 911. Current project is pending permits from Tacoma Power to install fiber on existing poles. This implementation will ensure complete redundancy of the Cities voice & data networks the Information Technology Division will be installing additional data circuits to be located at the police station, which is the City’s designated Emergency Operations Center and the backup co-location for data services. Currently, in the event of a disaster at City Hall network services would not be available due to the loss of connectivity between the two locations and external resources. Multiple fiber connections currently exist between City Hall and the Police station although redundant voice & data circuits will ensure connectivity to all systems during a complete fiber outage at either location. As of December 31, 2018 redundant voice circuits have been installed at the police station and are in operation. Additional data circuits are scheduled to be installed during the 3rd quarter of 2019. 503.0027 Police In-Car Video System Estimated Completion: TBD Initial One-Time Cost = $129,000 Ongoing M&O TBD after 2022 Working with Police, the Information Technology Division will be assisting with the implementation of (20) additional in-car video systems in 2019 and 21 more in 2020. The purchase order has been provided to the vendor and equipment is expected to arrive over the next six to eight weeks. The number of additional cameras exceeded the original project plan for the Information Technology division thus requiring additional storage & backup capacity to ensure we are able to meet internal and state requirements for retention and store the expanded video data within the production environment. This project is a multi-year project. As of December 31, 2018 there are 16 video systems in operation. 503.0028 New Permit System $25,000 Estimated Project Completion Date: TBD Initial One-Time Cost = $TBD After further review of the existing permit system, the city has determined that the replacement of the current permitting system is a high priority project and must be moved to the top of the list. Because of this the existing document management project must be postponed to ensure successful implementation of the permitting system. The adopted 2019 budget allocated $25,000 towards the permit replacement project which will be used to contract services from Tyler Technologies to export existing permit data for the new system. The $25K will be a one-time cost although additional funding will be needed upon final contract negotiation. The county has informed the city that funding will be required upon the successful implementation of the project. The city is currently looking at Pierce County’s PALS system as the replacement permitting system. This system has been reviewed and recommended by the Community & Economic Development team and approved by the City Manager. At the moment, the current permitting software system does not meet the needs of the City moving forward. It is difficult to use and often times frustrating for Community & Economic Development team members. The current permit system in Eden requires too much customization thus increasing operating costs. The system is not intuitive, therefore, requiring significant training. It is not easy to archive records. Report writing is not a simple process. The current system does not interface with online plan review. Justification for a new permitting system: Over the past many months, members of the City’s Information Technology and Finance Divisions and Community & Economic Development Department have been meeting with Pierce County to discuss the purchase and integration of the county PALS solution. In June of 2019, Lakewood team members met with the county to discuss the project further, obtain some initial pricing and review potential timelines for project implementation. Initial cost estimates to bring Lakewood online with the county are estimated to be $50-$60K as a one-time cost with annual reoccurring fees of $50-$60K annually although these numbers are fluid as the final product and cost has not yet been established. Previous discussions regarding timeline implementation 8 months. The eight months implementation timeline begins the day the City provides accurate and complete data to the County and does not take into account of existing workloads and projects that come up for both Lakewood and Pierce County. Staff at both locations are currently working on existing projects and others. There are numerous items which will need to be addressed to ensure the project implementation is smooth and successful. There’s a large amount of existing data cleanup that needs to be performed within the City’s existing permit system to ensure ‘clean’ data is imported into the new system. There is also day-to-day 14 Return to Agenda support, existing projects, workloads and the unforeseen at both the county and the City of Lakewood which will impact the project timeline as well thus additional time needs to be built into the scope.  Reduce permitting time;  Improve record keeping and archiving of permitting decisions;  Enhance communication with applicants resulting in better quality plan submissions and customer service;  Improved efficiency and less duplication of effort;  Improve training by introducing an intuitive system; and  Increase flexibility in design and customization. 503.0029 SAN Implementation (Storage Area Network) for Police Station Estimated Project Completion Date: 3rd Quarter 2019 Initial One-Time Cost = $100,000 in 2019 Actual $113,506 Ongoing M&O = $35,000 in 2022 Implementation of the new Storage Area Network solution has been completed at the Police station. Information technology team members are currently working to migrate existing data on the old system(s) to the new solution. This project touches all divisions across the city thus it will take some time to ensure everything is migrated correctly. Team members are working with each department to ensure only data that has not met the retention schedule for destruction is moved. This will ensure a clean environment moving forward, decrease the amount of data residing on the SAN and improve security and backup & recovery processes. 503.0030 O&M Facility - Front Street Fiber Installation – Budget $25,000 Estimated Completion Date: 2nd Quarter 2019 The Information Technology Division has contracted with INSI to begin fiber installation at the O&M facility beginning the week of May 27th, 2019. After the project started it was determined that existing conduit was cut during a previous road/sidewalk project. This has put a hold on the project while the team works with public works engineering to determine next steps as we are unable to pull fiber due to the damage. It’s expected to take several months to complete the project with the new damage found. Fiber connectivity offers significant reliability advantages over copper internet connections due to the fact that fiber is much stronger than copper. It is also not susceptible to inclement weather conditions, which can damage or stall data transmissions over copper cabling. Fiber is many times faster than copper internet connections. This project will install new fiber connections to the O&M Facility at Front Street directly connecting the facility to both the primary and secondary data centers. This will provide a direct high-speed connection while also eliminating the Comcast business circuit currently installed at O&M along with legacy networking hardware. 503.0033 Cloud Enabled Backup Storage – Budget $45,000 Actual $37,417 YTD Estimated Completion Date: 3rd Quarter 2019 This project will provide a robust scalable, reliable & cloud enabled backup appliance for the City. This solution will drastically reduce the amount of time daily, weekly and monthly backups need to complete. It also reduces the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect data by ratios of 10-55x and greater. Scalable up to 150 petabytes of storage capacity managed by a single console with throughput up to 68 terabytes per hour, the system makes it possible to complete more backups in less time and provide faster, more reliable restores in the event of a disaster or recovery process is needed. 503.0034 Multi Drive Tape Solution for Off-Site Storage – Budget $15,000 Estimated Completion Date: 3rd Quarter 2019 This project will work in conjunction with the cloud enabled backup storage and existing software solutions providing a reliable means to ensure data is written to tape for office storage and retention purposes. 503.0035 Security Enhancements – Budget $15,000 Estimated Completion Date 4th Quarter 2019 This project will provide additional security solutions within the network infrastructure to ensure ingress and egress points are protected from both internal and external threats. 15 Return to Agenda 2020/2021/2022/2023/2024 ESTIMATED PROJECTS (Estimated costs projected for the 4-year period 2021-2024) Ref # Project Name 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Total 503.0003 Wi-Fi Access points $- $20,000 $- $- $- $20,000 503.0009 Expand Video Cameras 20,000 - - - - 20,000 503.0011 Server/Hardware Upgrades 6,000 - 6,000 - 6,000 18,000 503.0015 Computer Replacement 138,750 138,750 138,750 138,750 138,750 693,750 503.0029 Storage Area Network (SAN) - - 35,000 - - 35,000 Total Project Costs $164,750 $158,750 $179,750 $138,750 $144,750 $786,750 503.0003 Additional Wireless Access Points (Wi-Fi) $20,000 Estimated Project Completion Date: 2nd Quarter 2021 Initial One-Time Cost = $20,000 in 2021 Ongoing M&O = $0 Wi-Fi access in parks will provide Parks & Recreation team members with the infrastructure to remotely connect to the City's future work order system, network resources and phone system. It also provides occasional use benefits for visitors and constituents to the City's parks utilizing the City's Guest Wireless network. Phase I in 2015 ($15,000) provided funding to purchase additional Wi-Fi hardware which was installed at Fort Steilacoom Park. Phase II in late 2017 ($10,000) provided resources to install Wi-Fi at the Skate Park and the Sound Transit train station. Moving forward working in partnership with the Police Department and Parks, Recreation and Community Services, the Information Technology Division is looking to expand on existing City resources to roll out additional Wi-Fi access points throughout the city. This will provide additional locations for police officers to connect their systems to the city’s high speed network providing a quick and easy way to upload in-car-video to the server for immediate review if necessary. 503.0009 City-Wide Camera System - $20,000 Estimated Project Completion Date: Initial One-Time Cost = $20,000 in 2020 Ongoing M&O = $0 There continues to be a need for additional cameras to provide law enforcement visibility at locations such as parking lots, high crime areas, city parks and many other areas to support public safety. Several of these cameras will also be used to provide the public with viewing capability to include such areas as the boat launch at American Lake and Harry Todd Park. The Technology Division will continue to review and propose new camera installations as necessary to ensure proper coverage is provided for both security needs and public access. 503.0015 Computer Replacement $138,750 Annual Estimated Project Completion Date: 4th Quarter 2021 / 4th Quarter 2022 Initial One-Time Cost = $138,750 in 2021 / $138,750 in 2022 Ongoing M&O = $0 Computer Desktop/Laptop & mobile device replacement is a necessity within the City as the aging life of PCs and mobile devices will drive replacements.
