IV. BACKGROUND
The Information Technology Security Administrator classification is tasked with ensuring the security of City computer systems, networks, and email communications. With the rising threat of computer viruses and ransom ware, the administrator is a critical leader and expert in safeguarding one of the city’s most valuable operations tools, technology. The City has a multitude of sensitive, private, and complex data it stores and accesses to manage the day to day operations of local government in Carson. It is imperative that the administrator act as the architect and gatekeeper of security for all platforms to ensure the city can continue serving residents without interruption.
The City met & conferred with the appropriate bargaining unit, and therefore the Information Technology Security Administrator, Salary Range 909, ($9,259 - $11,818), will be assigned to the Carson Professionals and Supervisors Association - SEIU 721.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the proposed addition to the City’s classification plan, as all Phase II personnel actions and salary allocations were previously approved in the adopted Fiscal Year 2022-2023 by City Council on February 21, 2023.
