already paying for. This Civic Innovation Director will be looking for grants and opportunities to <br /> engage in partnerships with our schools and local employers. Residents want to be more <br /> connected with technology. We are coordinating with Workforce Development agencies. We <br /> also need to make sure that all residents have access to all of the opportunities that are being <br /> created. We are working with Repurpose for Results which is part of Bloomberg Philanthropies. <br /> We are working on a new City website. <br /> Committee Chair White opened the floor to questions from the Committee and Councilmembers. <br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis asked,Have you considered links to different places or <br /> organizations of interest on the website? <br /> Mr. Garces replied, Yes, and we are gathering feedback from residents and members of the <br /> Council for that. <br /> Councilmember Davis followed up, Could you elaborate on the thing that helps residents pay <br /> their water bills? <br /> Mr. Garces replied, We conducted an analysis with the University of Chicago through a grant we <br /> received. We are in the process of exploring how to let our residents know they are late on their <br /> bill. We are working on a project to better communicate that. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott asked, Is TeleStaff for the Police tied into the KRONOS System? <br /> Mr. Garces replied, Yes. <br /> Councilmember Scott followed up, What does the timeline look like for the KRONOS <br /> implementation? <br /> Dan O'Connor, Chief Technology Officer of the City of South Bend with offices on the 121' <br /> floor of the County-City Building, replied, TimeKeeper and TeleStaff are both fully <br /> implemented already. We are expanding the use of the KRONOS system and that is slated to be <br /> done by January 1, 2018. <br /> Councilmember Scott asked, How much time has been spent on PSAP and how much longer do <br /> we have to look at this? <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied, That is hard to quantify. They are in the process of changing some <br /> personnel and I presume my role will go back to being just a helping resource. <br /> Councilmember Scott asked, Are there grants to get for the Civic Innovation Director? <br /> Mr. Garces replied, We started tracking how many grants we are applying for. <br /> Councilmember Scott then asked, Do you have a metric of how many people have gone through <br /> training? <br /> 4 <br />
