FY2025 Information Technology Budget Presentation  
CIO Anthony McPhearson presented the proposed FY2025 IT, GIS, and DuJIS budgets,  
as attached hereto.  
Member Galassi asked if the FY2024 budget shown is the approved or actual budget, to  
which Mr. McPhearson responded it is the actual budget.  
Member DeSart asked how many of the 63 positions are filled versus unfilled. Mr.  
McPhearson said there are currently three unfilled positions.  
Member Henry asked how headcount has changed for the IT department over the past  
few years. Mr. McPhearson said over the past three years, headcount has increased by  
four, from 59.  
Member Galassi asked again if the presented FY2024 budget is the approved or actual.  
Deputy CIO Richard Burnson said it is actually the approved budget. Mr. McPhearson  
said he will provide the actual and projected numbers to the committee, adding that there  
may be a slight variance from the approved budget. Mr. Burnson said we may use  
surplus FY2024 funds toward equipment purchases that we had planned for FY2025.  
Chair Yoo asked staff to include actual budget amounts going forward.  
Member Eckhoff said it appears we are funding projects that were previously paid for  
with ARPA funds, adding that he thought we used ARPA funds primarily for one-time  
purchases. Mr. McPhearson said these are ongoing licensing and maintenance costs that  
need to be paid annually.  
Member Eckhoff asked why we are up 33% over the past four years. Mr. McPhearson  
explained that funding was different four years ago during COVID, so looking at budgets  
prior to that would be more accurate.
