At our last meeting I was asked to distribute some information regarding the job description for a possible IT Director position for St. Lawrence County Government. The information I have enclosed includes some background information on the Central Services Department and some sample job descriptions that other municipalities have utilized. Please note that the sample job descriptions are not specific to St. Lawrence County.
We are looking for members of the IT Advisory Committee to provide some input regarding the job description. In particular, items that you feel should be included in the job description that are not outlined in any of the examples. This information will be shared with the Personnel Department, and will be utilized in the creation of the Job Description for the position.
Since it is the intent to have a discussion with the Board of Legislators soon on this topic, your input would be appreciated by March 5, 2008 if possible.
Thanks!!!!

Mike,
I liked the first sample job description - for "Director of Information Technology". It appears to be a very good match to your central services overview. I would suggest adding to it one line from the "Information Technology Director" job description: "confers with departments to identify information technology needs and recommends hardware and software solutions." I also thought the minimum requirements might be a bit low?
There was one item missing from the central services overview which would seriously impact my recommendation above: where does the new position fit into the current structure of central services? What gap(s) is the new position intended to fill?
I hope this helps! --Jenna Stone, Director of Technology, Massena CSD
