Description
Department of Innovation & Performance
A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
the
reconvening
of
council's
budget
hearings,
my
name
is
council
member,
erica
strasberger,
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
innovation
performance
and
asset
management
committee,
and
today
we
are
joined
by
fellow
council
member
anthony
coghill
and
I
believe
we'll
we
will
be
joined
soon
by
other
council
members.
A
B
You
councilwoman
the
mission
department
of
innovation
and
performance
is
to
elevate
the
work
of
city
government.
The
2021
operating
budget
proposed
by
the
by
inp,
continues
to
focus
on
developing
and
strengthening
the
core
and
I.t
infrastructure
of
the
city,
including
network
hosting
endpoints
and
applications.
B
Further
ip
imp
is
expanding
strategic
priorities
to
develop
a
more
robust
data
analytics
program.
The
budget
will
build
on
imp's
foundations,
secure,
reliable
scalable
and
trusted
partner
that
elevates.
The
work
of
the
other
departments
also
works
for
the
technology
leadership
council
to
in
the
support
of
other
departments
throughout
the
city.
B
B
B
Total
budget
is
fifteen
million
three
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
dollars,
that's
a
decrease
of
what
was
anticipated
in
last
year's
five
year
plan
of
nine
percent,
or
one
million
five
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
000
total
full-time
positions.
72.
B
That's
a
reduction
of
six
positions,
the
reductions
in
the
first
six
months
of
the
year,
one
of
and
remember
these
are
or
should
be
vacant
positions.
One
of
two
performance
improvement:
coaches
are
eliminated.
A
senior
training
coordinated
coordinator
eliminated
a
gis
manager
eliminated
computer
support.
Analyst
eliminated
311
help
desk
representative
eliminated
digital
services
coordinator
eliminated
12.
It
analysts,
administrators
and
engineers
swap
for
similar
positions
for
a
43
000
savings.
B
Non-Salary
expenditures
were
reduced
by
232
000,
approximately
2.3
percent,
from
what
was
anticipated
in
last
year's
five-year
plan
as
well.
Those
include
computer
maintenance,
reduced
by
1.4
million
dollars
or
25
percent
of
that
line.
Item
which
houses
contracts
for
over
30
different
software
solutions,
payroll
processing
was
reduced
by
dollars.
167.000
filing
fees
by
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
printing
binding
resources
reduced
by
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
This
is
the
city-wide
income
printing
contract.
Not
the
print
shop,
just
be
clear.
B
Operational
supplies
reduced
by
thirty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars,
including
the
elimination
of
funding
for
civic
innovation.
Events
that
were
once
grant
funded
workforce
training
is
also
reduced
by
fifty
thousand
dollars.
B
Now
we'll
go
to
the
large
reductions
which
will
happen
are
slated
to
happen
july,
the
first,
if
we
receive
no
additional
revenue
or
funding
from
the
federal
or
state
government
that
workforce
reduction
is
and
nine
thousand
dollars,
based
on
the
average
salary
of
the
wages
of
the
full-time
positions
that
would
be
equal
to
the
elimination
of
14
to
15
employees.
B
Innovation
and
performance
does
have
a
capital
budget
line
item
and
that
is
information
system,
modernization,
network
equipment
upgrades.
There
is
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
paygo
funding
in
the
2021
budget,
plus
an
anticipated
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
twenty
twenty
two
and
seven
hundred
and
twenty
twenty
three
innovation
performance
has
a
single
general
fund
revenue.
That's
the
cable
bureau
that
is
five
million
dollars
in
our
subscriber
fees.
B
A
minor
sixteen
thousand
dollar
decrease
from
last
year,
the
revenue
is
budgeted
to
increase
throughout
the
five-year
plan,
topping
out
at
5.5
million
dollars
or
2025.
B
Department
of
innovation
also
has
trust
funds.
Those
two
trust
funds
which
are
also
attached
to
the
cable
bureau,
are
the
comcast
trust
fund,
balance
of
199
000
and
the
verizon
trust
fund,
current
balance,
292
000
and
that's
my
numbers.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
A
Thank
you
budget
director
urbanic,
and
I
also
want
the
record
to
reflect
that.
We've
been
joined
by
council
members
bobby
wilson
and
deborah
gross.
So
at
this
point
I
will
turn
it
over
to
acting
inp
director,
heidi
norman.
I
understand
that
you
have
a
presentation.
Perhaps
a
share
screen
presentation
for
council.
C
C
C
My
presentation
will
highlight
some
of
the
key
accomplishments
in
2020,
as
well
as
introducing
plans
for
key
initiatives
starting
next
year.
I
will
present
our
six
strategic
priorities
for
next
year
review.
The
changes
to
our
budget
demonstrate
how
budget
invested
in
inp
is
an
investment
in
the
other
departments
that
we
support.
And,
finally,
I
will
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
into
the
six
strategic
priority
areas
to
give
a
flavor
of
the
types
of
priority
projects
that
the
team
will
be
working
on.
C
C
C
C
Reliability,
which
you
might
want
to
think
of
as
keeping
the
lights
on.
These
are
the
systems
that
don't
need
to
be
implemented.
They
need
to
be
maintained
and
monitored
that
will
take
about
24
percent
of
our
non-personnel
budget
network
improvement
will
be
about
20
percent
of
our
non-personnel
budget
and
tech
refresh
for
those
devices,
both
pc
devices
and
mobile
devices
will
be
about
12
of
our
non-personnel.
C
C
C
C
Imp's
goal
is
to
provide
up-to-date,
reliable
computers
and
other
devices
to
support
the
city's
workforce
in
providing
services
efficiently
and
effectively.
Every
day
in
2020,
imp
set,
set
pc
device,
refresh
standards
and
developed
a
schedule
for
city
staff
to
receive
updated
devices
every
four
years
over
the
course
of
2020,
more
than
360
computer
devices
were
deployed
through
our
tech
refresh
program
and
an
additional
200
devices
were
ordered
and
deployed
in
support
of
the
covid
work
from
home
emergency
for
our
essential
staff.
C
This
is
going
to
accrue
a
number
of
benefits
for
the
city,
efficiency
and
cost
reductions
by
reducing
hardware
and
data
center
facilities,
scalability,
because
the
cloud
architecture
will
enable
imp
to
quickly
scale
up
and
down
to
meet
city
departments.
Technology
demands,
according
to
their
operational
needs,
will
improve
mobility
mobility
by
moving
applications
into
the
cloud
and
that's
going
to
allow
24
7
access
to
systems
via
mobile
and
iot
devices.
C
C
Disaster
recovery,
cloud-based
services
actually
provide
distributed
data
recovery
for
all
kinds
of
emergency
scenarios.
What
that
means
is
you
can
think
of
our
data
as
gold,
because
it
is,
and
it
needs
to
be
very
secure
so,
instead
of
putting
it
in
a
single
fort
knox,
we're
going
to
distribute
it
into
hundreds
of
fort
knox's.
All
over
the
country,
so,
if
anything
should
happen
to
one
of
those
locations,
any
of
the
others
can
help
to
restore
our
data
and
bring
us
back
to
operational
functions.
C
Finally,
smart
city
analytics:
this
is
going
to
be
a
big
one
for
our
department
directors,
who
will
be
very
happy
to
learn
that,
with
data
analytics
resources
that
are
offered
in
cloud
services,
all
departments
will
have
future
availability
of
data
to
make
smart
decisions
and
track
their
performance
in
ways
that
simply
are
not
possible.
Today,.
C
C
C
C
In
2020,
imp
experienced
a
lot
of
turnover
in
our
data
services
staff,
and
so
we
have
and
will
continue
to
hire
great
new
talent
and
build
on
the
foundation
of
work.
That's
been
established
so
far.
The
data
services
team
will
be
comprised
of
data
engineers
and
data
analysts
and
will
solidify
and
improve
pittsburgh's
data,
governance
and
privacy
policies.
C
Our
data
management
and
retention
capabilities,
cloud-based
data
infrastructure
and
applications
integrations
which
allows
our
systems
to
talk
to
each
other
and
finally,
data
visualizations
and
dashboards
performance,
analytics
and
program
evaluation.
Skill
sets
and
provide
really
interesting
opportunities
for
research
into
machine
learning
and
business
intelligence
analytics.
C
Turning
to
software
in
2020,
imp
established
a
new
applications
team
and
a
software
roadmap,
and
that's
our
guide
to
modernizing
more
than
20
large
application
systems.
Our
city
relies
on
to
do
work
every
day.
We
also
begin
work
on
several
implementations
which
are
going
to
continue
into
the
new
year.
Those
include
our
one-stop
pgh
computronic
system.
We
will
be
enabling
per
domi
applications.
The
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
applications
for
permits
and
cartograph
interface
for
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
public
works,
the
ceridian
system.
C
We
will
complete
the
rollout
of
the
hr,
payroll
and
timekeeping
and
information
system
for
snowplow
route,
optimization
through
quetica.
All
routes
will
be
digitized
and
optimized.
With
improvements
to
navigation
and
the
dispatch
system
for
revenue
management,
the
we
are
going
to
implement
new
systems
or
continue
implementing
new
systems
to
better
manage
all
of
the
tax
income
into
the
city.
C
The
police
records
management
system,
we
will
begin
migration
to
the
county's
inform
system
for
all
criminal
records
and
investigations
in
time
is
the
bureau
of
police
time
keeping
and
scheduling
tool
which
is
due
to
roll
out
at
the
beginning
of
next
year
and
community
engagement.
Currently,
there
is
testing
between
a
couple
of
different
systems
and
the
preferred
application
will
be
implemented
and
expanded
to
multiple
multiple
departments
for
their
use.
C
In
some
cases,
we
will
be
moving
enterprise
applications
to
the
cloud,
because
some
of
our
physical
servers,
including
the
one
for
three
one
one
q,
alert
ticketing
system
and
gis-
are
reaching
end
of
life
by
moving
applications
to
the
cloud.
Imp
will
realize
cost
savings
and
our
partner
departments
will
enjoy
a
better
experience,
particularly
with
faster
data,
backup
and
recovery.
C
We
anticipate
starting
a
number
of
new
software
projects,
including
renegotiating
and
updating
the
gis
enterprise
agreement
and
migrating
the
esri
products
to
the
cloud
for
so
that
all
city
departments
have
access
migrating
onbase,
which
is
our
document
management
system
to
the
cloud
with
jd
eds
edwards,
which
is
our
erp
system.
We
will
be
separating
our
instance
from
allegheny
county
and
moving
that
into
the
cloud
power
dms.
C
C
A
Thank
you
acting
director
norman
for
the
helpful
presentation.
I
want
to
commend
you
for
always
taking
pretty
complex
or
technical
language
and
distilling
it
into
information
that
we
can
all
absorb,
as
maybe
non-technical
experts
in
the
field.
So
I
always
appreciate
that.
I
also
just
want
to
note
that
this
is
one
of
those
departments
that
is
absolutely
critical
for
the
functioning
of
our
city.
And
yet,
unlike
public
works,
unlike
parks
and
recreation,
maybe
some
other
departments,
you
can't
touch
it
and
feel
it
oftentimes.
A
In
the
same
way
as
you
can,
the
you
know:
ball
field
renovation
or
the
new
rec
center,
and
so
I
just
want
to
note
that
so
much
of
what
inp
does
is
really
critical
to
the
functioning
of
our
city,
oftentimes,
serving
as
insurance
against
or
assurance
against,
a
cyber
attack.
A
You
know
being
held
hostage
by
someone
who
wants
to
use.
You
know
kind
of
a
cyber
attack
against
us
and
and
require
that
we
pay
a
certain
ransomware
fine,
and
so
it's
just
really
critical
work
that
you
do
in
day
in
and
day
out,
and
I
wanted
to
before.
Turning
it
over
to
other
council
members,
give
you
an
opportunity
to
introduce
some
members
of
your
team
who
are
here
today.
If
you
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
do
that,.
C
Oh
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that.
Yes,
I
have
three
critical
members
of
my
team
who
I
rely
on
a
great
deal.
We
work
together
very
closely.
First
I'd
like
to
introduce
sylvia
harris.
She
is
both
the
chief
information
security
officer
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
the
assistant
director
for
security
and
risk
in
innovation
and
performance.
C
Next
we
have
gwendolyn
moore
who
is
the
assistant
director
for
technology,
and
in
that,
in
that
role
she
is
responsible
for
our
applications,
data
services
and
devices
teams,
and
then
last,
but
certainly,
not
least,
is
assistant
director,
philip
savino,
who
is
responsible
for
our
I.t
operations,
which
includes
our
it
infrastructure
network,
as
well
as
our
service
desk.
C
A
You
excellent
thank
you,
thank
you
and
welcome
to
to
you
all
to
this
hearing,
I'll
also
just
say
one
more
thing
before
turning
it
over,
and
that
is
that,
unlike
a
lot
of
other
departments,
inp
serves
many
other
departments.
So
it's
mostly
the
budget
that
you
see
before
us
is
mostly
not
serving
itself.
It's
serving,
especially
the
capital
budget
is,
is
for
other
departments
as
as
the
presentation
laid
out.
So
I
think
that's
also
a
critical
point
to
make.
A
I
know
that
councilman
coghill
was
on
and
and
might
have
might
have
had
to
step
away
for
a
minute,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
councilwoman
gross,
who,
I
think
was
next.
If
councilwoman,
if
you
have
any
questions
for
the
acting
director
or
her
team.
D
You
know
I
can
go
pretty
quickly.
I
think
I
want
to
thank
you
director
for
all
those
comprehensive
presentations
that
you
do,
and
I
will
admit
that
I
stepped
away
from
my
screen
and
just
had
my
audio
on
for
a
little
bit
of
it,
because
we've
been
in
session
since
10.
This
morning
we
had
a
very
long
session.
Congratulations
to
councilman
strasberger
for
sharing
this
one.
It's
a
stamina
project,
and
I
wanted
to
what
I
did
it
here
and
again.
I
might
have
just
because
I
stepped
away
was
about
our
cable
vision.
D
If
we
don't
call
it
that
anymore
staffing,
I
just
wanted
to
give
them
a
shout
out,
because
they
have
been
really
stressed
managing
us
through
all
of
the
zoom
calls,
and-
and
I
didn't
really
hear
that,
while
it
was
a
powerhouse
presentation
about
a
lot
of
massive
projects
that
are
so
long
overdue,
and
I
understand
that
we've
had
some
of
those
conversations
at
the
table
and
authorizing
some
of
the
resolutions
about
some
of
the
software's.
D
I
really
appreciate
the
comprehensiveness
of
your
understanding
that
you've
got
this
whole
inventory
and
have
prioritized
it
for
us
and
for
your
department
to
build
from
infrastructure
through
softwares
to
integrate
softwares
that
haven't
been
integrated
and
and
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
your
leadership
there.
But
can
we
talk
a
minute
about
the
staffing
and
capacity
through
these
weird
digital
times?
D
C
C
They
have
done
a
heroic
job
and
it
you
know,
as
you
are
well
aware,
it
started
back
in
march
when
they
needed
to
incredibly
quickly
find
a
way
to
make
sure
that
council
was
able
to
hold
public
hearings
using
devices
and
technology
so
that
you
were
all
safe
and
could
do
so
remotely,
while
also
allowing
public
comment
and
keeping
the
correct
records
that
are
required
through
legislation.
C
There
were
a
lot
of
long
days,
and
I
I
am
so
proud
of
them
and
want
to
say
that
they
have.
C
They
have
been
true
heroes
for
all
of
us,
along
with
our
service
desk
and,
along
with
you
know,
many
of
the
people
who
went
just
all
in
to
make
sure
that
the
city
was
con
was
able
to
continue
being
operational
while
also
keeping
people
safe,
so
that
people
could
work
remotely
when
in
large
part,
we
had
never
really
done
that
before.
D
And
it
seems
to
me
like
we
could
probably
add
one
or
two
positions
in
order
to
balance
out
that
workload,
and
but
the
budget
is
not
doing
that
and
no
positions
are
eliminated
in
the
cable
bureau.
Is
that
what
we're
calling
it
you
know,
but
you
do
have
some
jobs
eliminated
elsewhere,
and
so
you
might
want
to
just
kind
of
give
us.
I
I've
been
asked
trying
to
ask
each
department,
I'm
not
sure
if
I've
done
it
perfectly
consistently
kind
of
like
what
is
the
service
impact.
C
Right
so
we
did
over
the
course
of
2020,
as
positions
have
become
vacant
in
certain
when
we
were
able
to,
we
were
able
to
remove
those
positions
in
order
to
sort
of
do
our
part
to
help
the
the
city
with
its
financial
situation.
Yes,
thank
you
for
noticing.
No
positions
are
being
eliminated
from
the
cable
bureau.
C
They
have
enough
to
do
so.
As
those
positions
came
up,
we
had
a
let's
see
the
positions
were:
a
performance
improvement
coach.
We
had
two
one
of
them
left
in
august
and
we
removed
that
position.
C
D
C
The
performance
improvement
coaches-
I
mean
they
do
they
do
a
lot
with
like
the
gold
belt
workshop
and
they
you
know
the
partnering
with
other
departments
and
helping
them
to
streamline
and
make
processes
more
efficient
they've
been
working
really
closely
with
hr
in
their
online
orientation
department
of
public
works
and
environmental
services.
Things
like
that
a
senior
training
coordinator
is
retiring
at
the
end
of
this
year
and
that
position
will
go
away.
C
Our
gis
manager
was
actually
promoted
to
lead
our
applications
team
and
we
had
a
computer
support
analyst
that
retired
earlier
this
year
we
had
a
digital
services
coordinator
that
left
the
city
for
another
job
and
we
eliminated
that
position,
and
there
was
a
three
on
one
help
desk
or
not
3-1-1.
I'm
sorry
a
a
help,
desk
representative
position
that
was
also
eliminated.
D
Wow
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
and
we've
talked
about
this
again
in
different
efforts
that
you've
had
in
front
of
council
in
recent
months,
including
the
backbone,
the
kind
of
hardware
and
software
integration.
So
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
there's
a
plan
right
and
it
kind
of
felt
like
it's
been
some
time
coming,
that
there's
been
a
as
comprehensive
of
a
plan
and
again
so
I
just
wanted
to
say.
D
I
appreciate
that
you
did
a
complete
review
and
prioritized
it
again
for
your
department
and
for
council,
so
that
we're
getting
systems
in
place
that
can
work
together
across
departments,
notably
the
most
recently,
the
the
gis
software
that
we
voted
for.
D
Both
in
terms
of
you
know
everything
from
as
we're
seeing
like
trash
cans
and
snow
plows,
but
also
constituent
issues
that
we
hear
about
from
the
ground
up
right,
ground,
shifting
landslides,
flooding
problems,
the
that
we
are
rebuilding,
as
I've
said
so
many
times
at
council,
not
just
from
the
ground
up,
but
also
underground
in
our
very
very
aged
infrastructure,
that
we
don't
look
at
until
it's
a
problem.
The
120
year
old
water
lines
or
sewer
lines
that
are
out
there
still
and
that
are
being
replaced.
But
we
need
better
coordination.
C
Absolutely
there's
no
question
this
is
this
is
something
that
the
city
probably
should
have
done
quite
a
while
ago,
and
we're
so
pleased
that
that
we
were
able
to
to
begin
really
working
on
this
in
2020
and
we're
going
to
take
it
so
much
further
next
year.
So
thank
you.
D
D
A
E
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
director,
acting
director
norman,
thank
you
for
stepping
up
at
this
time
and
doing
everything
that
you
and
your
department
have
been
doing
and
your
staff.
I
appreciate
you
introducing
your
staff
like
that
to
talk
about
what,
how
they've
been
able
to
get
the
city
up
and
running
and
the
time
when,
just
like
you
said
we
haven't
been,
you
know,
most
of
us
haven't
been
working
remotely.
E
So
thanks
for
helping
in
that
process,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
know
I
was
listening
about
the
the
you
know.
The
positions
that
you
know
will
be
not
filled,
but
I
want
to
ask
about
the
the
staff
restructuring
that
I
saw
this
year.
Can
you
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
how
that
restructuring
happened
and
like
what's
been
accomplished
because
of
it.
C
So
the
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
chance
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit,
so
the
staff
restructuring
actually
inp
had
a
complete
reorganization
of
our
staff
in
2019
it's
in
the
back
half
of
the
year,
and
so
we
were
able
to
hit
the
ground
running
and-
and
I
have
to
say
we
were
so
fortunate
that
we
did
because
it
was,
it
turned
out
to
be
very
good
timing.
The
two
teams
that
we
established
that
we
had
literally
never
had
before
one
was
the
applications
team
and
the
other
was
the
devices
team.
C
Team
is
doing
a
number
of
things,
but
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
really
needed
that
team
was
we
in
2019.
We
actually
looked
across
our
portfolio
of
projects
and
we
began
to
categorize
them
and
it
suddenly
dawned
on
us
that
the
vast
majority
of
projects
that
we
were
asked
to
work
on
by
departments
were
in
the
applications
area
and
we
literally
had
no
applications
team
and
so
by
establishing
that
team.
It
allowed
us
to
create
the
software
roadmap,
which
is
sort
of
that
strategic
guide
for
how
we're
moving
forward
really
help
us
understand.
C
How
can
we
move
away
from
some
of
these
legacy
systems,
including
the
consulting
companies
that
are
supporting
those
legacy
systems,
and
how
can
we
do
this
in
a
way,
that's
rationalized
and
is
going
to
save
us
money
so
with
the
with
the
addition
of
that
team?
The
other
thing
that
it's
allowed
us
to
do
is
for
the
first
time
for
those
really
large
and
enterprise
applications
and
when
I
say
large
and
enterprise
applications.
What
I
mean
by
that
is
a
large
application
is
considered
more
than
three
departments
use
the
same
software
application.
C
Enterprise
is
more
than
you
know.
Seven
or
eight
departments
are
using
that
application.
For
the
first
time
ever
we
have
actual
applications
administrators
that
are
responsible
for
understanding
how
those
applications
function.
What's
going
to
happen
when
there's
an
update,
because
those
need
to
happen
as
well,
and
they
are
constantly
monitoring
and
maintaining
those
systems
and
assisting
departments
when
there's
turnover
in
the
department's
staffing,
because
that
happens
to
to
make
sure
that
new
people
coming
on
board
are
fully
trained
and
know
how
to
use
those
systems.
E
Well,
thank
you
for
elaborating
on
that,
because
you
brought
up
a
topic
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
Was
the
the
execution
of
the
the
software
road
map
that
you
refer
to.
C
E
I
know
when
we
met
we,
we
spoke
about
this
and
I'm
interested
in
and
where
it's
going,
which
is
you
know
these
custom-built
systems
that
you
talk
about
and
how
you
know
we
upgrade
in
a
way
that
you
know
doesn't
rely
on
just
that.
One
person
that
knew
in
that
one
department
that
knew
how
it
worked,
that
someone
else
couldn't
pick
it
up,
and
so
you
know
I
see
platforms
like
engage
pgh,
and
I
wonder
you
know,
on
your.
I
saw
in
the
slide,
testing
hive
and
gis
hub.
E
Is
that
supposed
to
replace,
engage
pga
like
are
we
still
continuing
to
you
know?
Think
about.
You
know
that
this
execution
of
you
know
the
software
road
maps
everyone's
talking
to
all
these
systems
are
talking
to
each
other.
C
Right
so
engage
pgh
is
actually
powered
by
hive
right
now,
either
that
hive
or
hub
or
any
other
number
of
other
systems
can
power
that
community
engagement
platform
city
planning's
done
a
terrific
job
in
building
that
up,
and
I
think
the
residents
of
pittsburgh
are
very
excited
to
have
that
visibility
into
what
their
city
government
is
doing,
and
we
would
like
to
have
that
spread
to
other
departments
that
also
engage
with
the
public.
C
So
that's
something
that
hive
was
a
six
month
pilot
and
right
now
they
are
you,
know,
testing
hub
and
making
a
determination.
How
we
want
to
move
forward,
but
engage
pgh
will
will
remain
it's
just
which
platform
is
it
going
to
be
powered
by
it's?
What's
behind.
E
The
scenes
yeah
all
right
well,
thanks
for
explaining
that
the
the
the
smart
city
analytics
you
know
on
this
topic,
my
office
uses
301
a
lot,
obviously
like
probably
every
office
and
all
our
constituents
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
E
What's
what's
the
likelihood
of
getting
dashboards
for
each
each
district.
E
Okay,
so,
like
being
able
to
see
all
right
great
great,
that's
good
to
hear
so
then,
to
my
my
my
last
question,
which
is
about
the
devices
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
know
about,
I
see
you
talk
about
the
turnover
from
a
camera.
It
was
three
or
four
years
every
you
know
you
know.
Employee
would
have
a
different
device
or
a
new,
updated
device,
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
you
know
how
like
what
is
the
strategy
there
are.
E
There
are
certain
departments
that
you
know
we
realize
are
very
outdated
and
needed
the
most
and
then
also
you
know
how
do
you?
How
do
you
pick
the
devices
that
we
use.
C
That's
a
really
good
question,
so
I'll
take
it
in
two
parts,
because
it's
a
two-part
question
so
in
terms
of
the
devices,
so
computing
devices
will
be
replaced
every
four
years
or
refreshed
every
four
years
and
the
mobile
devices
every
three
years.
The
reason
for
that
is
the
the
lifetime
of
a
computing
device
when
it's
under
warranty
and
maintenance
is
four
years
same
is
true
for
mobile
devices.
At
three
years,
mobile
devices
tend
to
get
a
little
bit
more
wear
and
tear.
C
So
there
maintenance,
window
and
lifespan
is
a
little
bit
shorter
in
terms
of
so
the
first
part
of
the
question
was:
how
do
we
know
which
devices
is
that
correct.
E
Yeah
like
how
do
you
well
yeah,
the
first
part
of
the
question
was
yeah.
How
do
you
understand
which
departments.
C
Yes,
so
in
2018,
for
the
first
time,
inp
became
responsible
for
maintaining
all
of
the
computing
devices
across
the
city
prior
to
that
each
of
the
departments
planned
and
purchased
their
own
devices.
C
At
that
point,
we
began
taking
an
inventory
and
what
we
found
was
actually
pretty
shocking.
A
lot
of
the
devices
at
that
time
were
very,
very
old
if,
if
the
lifetime
of
a
computer
is
four
years,
it
may
not
surprise
you
to
know
that
some
of
the
oldest
computers
that
were
still
in
use
at
the
time
were
16
years
old,
the
average
age
of
computers
in
2018.
C
When
we
started
taking
the
inventory
was
six
years
we
had
to
move
very
quickly.
We
began.
We
began
basically
with
the
oldest
computers
as
we
began
to
build,
build
that
inventory
in
terms
of
replacing
them
and
updating
them.
C
Today
we
are,
we
have
worked
diligently
with
the
department
directors
and
the
liaisons
to
understand
where
the
oldest
devices
are.
There
was
also
a
big
switch
at
the
end
of
2019
when
windows
7
the
operating
system
went
end
of
life,
and
we
had
a
large
number
of
windows,
7
computing
devices
we
needed
to
get
move
those
out
of
our
fleet
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
we
are
still
moving
those
out
today
by
the
end
of
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
All
of
them
will
be
gone.
C
C
Finally,
to
fine-tune
it,
it
hasn't
been
working
so
well
over
the
cove
crisis,
but
in
the
imp
offices
we
actually
created
a
showroom
so
that
individuals
could
come
in
and
lay
their
hands
on
the
devices
that
we
were
recommending
for
them
so
that
they
could
choose.
Do
you
want
this
style
of
laptop
or
that
style
of
laptop,
and
then
we
would
order
that
laptop
for
them,
not
something
we
can
do
remotely,
but
hopefully,
once
this
is
over,
we
will.
C
E
C
E
So
is
it
still
going
to
be
so
I'm
sorry,
the
reason
why
I
was
asked
what
the
percentage
is.
I
I
just
didn't
know
like
you
know,
on
council
side
we
have
the
services,
and-
and
so
I
was
just
trying
to
understand
what
the
rest
of
the
city
workers
would
be
using
as
well.
E
You
know,
since
we
had
the
experience
with
the
surface,
and
so
I
didn't
know
if
it
was
just
like
an
all
across
the
board
like
well,
every
you
know,
employee,
you
know,
uses
the
surface,
and
so
when
you
say
that
in
the
future
we'll
have
the
mobile
dell.
Does
that
mean
it's
also
going
to
be
a
certain
type
of
tablet,
with,
like
a
flip
flip
keyboard,.
F
So
the
surfaces
that
were
distributed
to
council,
I
believe,
were
distributed
in
either
2018
or
2019,
so
they
would
be
on
a
cycle
to
be
replaced
in
this.
The
third
go-round
and
again,
we
are
on
a
dell
platform
now
and
we'll
be
deploying
dell
devices
which
are
very
similar
to
surface
and
can
provide
the
same
functionality
and
according
to
what
your
different
team
members
would
need
at
that
time,
we
would
provide
them
with
that
type
of
device
based
on
where
they
work,
how
they
work.
And
what
have
you.
E
Okay,
yeah-
I'm
just
focused
on
this
because
you
know,
as
we
continue
to
work
remotely
having
a
device
that
is,
you
know,
a
good
device
with
a
camera
and
something
that
you
know
works
and
a
lot
of
different.
You
know
I
mean
everyone
doesn't
use
their
device
the
same
way.
So
does
that
mean
if
we're
gonna
stick
with
the
tablet
version
that
you've
gotten
some
really
good
feedback
on
this
this
type
of
device?
Because
I
would
think
that
we
would,
you
know,
want
to
get
more
of
a
device.
F
F
I
agree,
I
think
that
we'd
be
happy
to
have
you
and
sally
come
to
the
showroom
we
have
about
four
or
five
different
types
of
laptop
and
rugged
devices.
Maybe
you'd
like
to
come
and
take
a
look
at
those
for
the
time
being.
We
do
have
some
loaners,
but
I
would
invite
I
come
into
the
office
occasionally
and
the
devices
team
is
there
almost
every
day,
so
we
can
make
arrangements
for
your
team
to
come
in
and
view
them
and
touch
and
feel
and
see
which
ones
you
would
be
interested
in
and.
E
Yeah
it'd
be
great,
it'd,
be
great,
I'm
just
I
guess
I'm
just
also
just
curious
about
you
know
all
the
other
workers
in
the
city
and
what
their
feedback
is.
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
been
recording
that
I'm
just
curious
on.
You
know
how
what
how
they
feel
about
the
the
tablet
situation,
with
the
with
the
the
keyboard
that
is
kind
of
like
a
cover
but
I'll
come.
D
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
with
you
offline
and
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
So
please
either
have
you
or
sally
contact
me
and
we
connect
you
with
the
devices
team
to
answer
your
questions.
E
All
right
definitely
well,
I
appreciate
all
the
all
the
responses
and
and
the
engagement
and
thank
you
chair.
I
have
no
further
questions
thanks.
A
Thank
you
councilman.
I
do
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
we
were
joined
by
council
president
teresa
cale
smith.
She
had
to
step
away,
but
that
she
was
here
for
a
period
of
time,
listening
as
well,
and
so
I'll
I'll
end
with
my
questions,
unless
any
other
questions
come
up
from
other
council
members.
A
After
that
we
touched
on
this
a
little
bit
already
with
the
conversation
about
the
devices
and
how
we're
thinking
about
the
tech
refresh
program
a
little
differently,
but
as
we
think
about
the
post-covered
world
and
the
ways
in
which
technology
needs
might
change,
even
after
we're
out
of
the
worst
part
of
the
pandemic.
A
I
wonder
if
that
is
changing
the
way
that
you
are
thinking
about
your
five-year
plan,
not
just
kind
of
currently,
because
we,
as
you
know,
and
hopefully,
as
people
are
watching
this,
they
understand
you
did
all
you
did
the
yeoman's
work
of
pivoting.
In
addition
to
our
emergency
response
teams,
you
know
it
was
inp
doing
the
yeoman's
work
responding
to
the
needs
of
the
technology
needs
of
our
workers,
shifting
to
work
at
home,
and
that
happened
in
a
very
quick
amount
of
time.
A
C
Oh,
thank
you
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
that.
So
so
what
I'll
say
is
this?
A
lot
of
our
plans
are
what
I
will
call
foundational
or
really
fundamental
right.
We
all
know
now
that
our
workforce
does
need
to
have
the
ability
to
be
much
more
mobile,
so,
for
example,
that
doesn't
change
our
plans
in
terms
of
network.
You
know
in
in
stabilizing
our
network
and
moving
to
cloud
infrastructure.
C
On
top
of
that
with
our
devices
it
used
to
be
until
march
or
april
that,
if
some
we
would,
you
know,
inp
was
fairly
agnostic.
When
someone
came
in
to
choose
the
exact
form
factor
of
the
device
they
wanted,
many
people
would
come
in
and
say
well.
I've
always
had
a
desktop
computer.
I'm
comfortable
with
a
desktop
computer,
give
me
a
desktop
computer.
C
C
C
A
That's
helpful
and
it's
it's
help
it's
great
to
know
that
you're
thinking
about
it,
it's
helpful
to
know
that
you
know
there's
a
foundational
sort
of
plan,
but
that
it's
malleable
and
that
you'll
be
able
to
respond
as
necessary
and,
as
you
find,
other
departments
needs
change
over
the
next
month.
A
few
months
and
years.
C
So
my
vision-
and
this
isn't
going
to
happen
next
year,
but
it
will
happen,
is
that
anyone
that
works
for
the
city
in
any
of
the
departments
has
the
ability
to
see
the
data
that
they
need
to
see
in
order
to
measure
how
things
are
going
today
and
to
project
what
would
happen.
For
example,
if
we
decided
to
do
this-
and
you
know,
do
some
business
intelligent
analytics
that
can
better
inform
decision
making.
C
The
the
technical
platform
upon
which
we
all
can
work
to
do
that
type
of
work,
but
will
also
be
instrumental
in
establishing
training
and
communities
of
practice
across
the
departments
so
that
they
are
enabled
to
do
these
things
as
well.
So
it
won't
just
it
won't,
be
call
imp
and
get
in
line
until
we
can
get
to
your
dashboard
that
you
want
so
badly.
It's
hey
inp.
Can
you
please
train
these
folks
on
my
staff
to
create
dashboards
when
I
need
them.
A
That's
very
exciting
because
I
think,
as
legislators
I
mean
we
do
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
in
part
we're
legislators
and
we
create
policies
and
approve
policies,
and
you
know
I
think
there
are
criticisms,
rightfully
so
around
data
informed
policies,
because
if
you
only
look
at
the
data
and
you're
not
looking
at
the
humans
behind
that,
that
can
be
a
problem,
but
certainly
having
accurate
disaggregated
data
as
councilwoman
gross
likes
to
point
out
is
powerful
and
that
can
really
help
us
inform
our
decision-making
regardless
of
the
issue
or
the
department
that
we're
making
the
decision
about
so
very
exciting.
A
To
hear
that
that's
great,
I
have
no
further
questions.
Let's
see,
councilman
wilson,
councilwoman
gross,
if
there
any
other
questions
from
you
now
is
the
time
anything
further
for
the
good
of
the
record
from
from
inp.
A
Thank
you,
so
I
will
make
a
ask
for
a
motion
to
recess
until
tomorrow,
at
1
pm
for
the
human
resources
budget
hearing
chaired
by
councilman
krauss,
sorry,
