More recently, the Information Systems Department was instrumental during the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing increased technical support, expanded virtual meeting capabilities, and enhanced telework capabilities to ensure the County workforce could work remotely. The Information Systems Department has a fiscal year budget of $53 million dollars and has 116.5 total staff.
