DISCUSSION ITEMS
1.
IRES Reorganization: Bill distributed the current IRES org chart and discussed recent reporting line
changes and solicited comments/suggestions from the committee. Also shared a list of questions he sent to
IRES staff asking for their input regarding reorganization strategies. Bill made the point that the IRES staff
works for the entire campus community so it is important to solicit respond to input from outside IRES.
2.
Application Director job description: A draft copy of the application director job description was shared
and discussed. An important aspect of the position is the coordination of application development efforts
across campus to minimize duplication of effort, and create common definitions and development standards.
Among other job requirements, there is also a need for application expertise linked to the server support
procedures. The committee members will review the draft job description and provide comments. Since
Debbie is leaving mid-August, temporary leadership provisions will be made until the position is posted and
filled.
3.
Security Audit findings: Bill shared a preliminary list of audit findings – some we were expecting, some
we were not. Also discussed changes we would have to consider in the future to address these findings and
any others that will be presented at the conclusion of the security audit. It will likely be necessary to tighten
up our policies and procedures as well as acquiring additional monitoring tools (intrusion detection, etc.).
This will continue to be an agenda item as we pursue resolutions to the audit findings.
4.
Server Hosting cost model: Bill and Jerry have been working on cost models for hosting servers and have
begun to roll back costs. A new model would include consideration of enterprise budget contributions,
storage solutions, disaster recovery processes/tools, staffing, etc. Hosting services would not be free of
charge in order to protect resources. Bill will bring a proposal to the August meeting.
5.
Project Scoring Rubric: Discussed the project scoring rubric East Bay developed. Linda and Phyllis tested
it on some of our projects with interesting results. Sac State has an abbreviated version that didn’t
differentiate quite as well. The intent is to Chico-ize this rubric and incorporate it into our project planning
process. Committee members will review and send comments/suggestions to Phyllis.
6.
Other: Leslie shared that the CO had approved use of electronic signatures. Many questions remain
regarding the definitions and conditions surrounding accepting electronic credentials. Leslie will see if she
can get more info to share.
