A recent personnel change with the City of Brentwood opened a conversation and an opportunity for Clayton to extend the services it provides for technology services to the City of Brentwood operations. Clayton worked with the staff of Brentwood to gain a detailed understanding of current operations and future needs and expectations for information technology. Through thorough review and collaboration the service agreement before you was developed and mutually supported by the City Administrator of Brentwood and the City Manager of Clayton. The program that supports this agreement includes a staffing and management plan which will provide the required level of services Brentwood desires without diminishing the current level of services for Clayton. This will extend the service levels Clayton delivers to the operations of the City of Brentwood while at the same time offering benefits to Clayton in areas of redundancy, staff succession, and the ability to allocate greater resources to either city during peak needs. We have developed the attached agreement which outlines the services to be provided by Clayton and the cost to be paid by Brentwood. We have also budgeted a small contingency for unknown items which may come up throughout the year. The approval of this agreement will necessitate additional staffing and other support expenditures to support the plan, but which are recovered through this service agreement and the contract payments. Future budget adjustments to recognize this change in revenue and expenditure will be forthcoming.

The approval of this agreement will necessitate additional staffing and other support expenditures to support the plan, but which are recovered through this service agreement and the contract payments. Future budget adjustments to recognize this change in revenue and expenditure will be forthcoming. The City of Brentwood has approved first reading of the ordinance approving this contract at its December 5 meeting and anticipates adoption on December 19. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Brentwood for Clayton to provide technology services to Brentwood. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, City Manager Owens stated that the employees will increase from four to six. Alderman Berger commented that he doesn’t know why the City is doing this and expressed his concerns that there is no valued for the City. He said that there are implementations of software in the “que” and other departments are looking at software packages and changes and we will be bringing on more people in order to service Brentwood. Janet Watson along with Larry Cawvey, IT Manager addressed the Board stating that they have worked together evaluating the services at Brentwood and evaluates how it would affect the services here at Clayton. They believe that they will be able to provide those services to Brentwood at that level without affecting what is happening in Clayton. They do realize that there will be some “startup”, but do not believe it will affect any Clayton projects.
