<br />, <br /> <br />Memo <br />City Council <br />Committees & Appointments <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A Project Management Committee would be created to approve the project charter, oversee <br />study progress, authorize staff participation, accept reports from the business information and <br />technology teams, and approve a final report including recommendations/strategies. I would <br />represent Arden Hills on the Project Management Committee. <br /> <br />The Project Manager, who will report to the Project Management Committee, will be Mary <br />Mahoney from Ramsey County. The Project Manager will oversee the design and <br />implementation of the project, provide regular progress reports on findings, develop the final <br />study report and recommendations, and develop the business and implementation plan. <br /> <br />Two teams will then be set up to carry out much of the technical work. The Business <br />Information Team and the Technology Team will assist in desigu and implementation of the <br />study, participate as sponsors on work: groups, review deliverables prepared by project work <br />groups, and review and make recommendations regarding the fmal report. Several work: groups <br />will be formed to investigate and prepare reports in response to specific subject matter <br />assigmnents from the Business Information and/or Technology Teams. It is anticipated that <br />Aaron Parrish will participate on one of the teams. <br /> <br />Summary: <br /> <br />Ramsey County is providing a senior staff member to serve as project manager. and will cover . <br />the costs of the study. Participating partners will have no up-front costs other than staff time. It <br />is my recommendation that we participate so that we are represented and have some say in the <br />final outcome. If at any time we are not comfortable with the direction of the stUdy, if it is taking <br />up too much staff time, or any other concerns arise, we will report to Council and re-evaluate our <br />participation level. <br /> <br />Requested Action: <br /> <br />Authorize City staff to participate in the Ramsey County Business Information and Technology <br />Initiative. <br /> <br />l\Earth\AdminICity AdministralorlMemo\2003109-22'03 Memo 10 Council- Ramsey County IT Study,doc <br /> <br />. <br />
