Montgomery said Channel 16’s staff counts six full-time staff (plus a contracted broadcast engineer) and that the studio produced 80 special-event productions totaling about 90 hours, and additional in-kind productions for government partners. He estimated the in-kind production value (if purchased externally) at about $58,600 for a select set of productions.

Web analytics shared by Montgomery showed 538,644 total page views on the Channel 16 site, 41,315 distinct visits and 27,984 unique visitors during 2024. He noted that the Department of Metropolitan Development’s archive pages led page views (30,773), followed by the City-County Council (18,165) and the Liquor Board (14,248).

On funding, Montgomery said the channel’s budget is no longer drawn directly from a dedicated cable-franchise pot; franchise fees now flow into county general revenue and Channel 16’s budget is appropriated through the county process.

Montgomery also said he plans to remain in the manager role through the end of 2026 and offered to provide additional detail on production metrics if the board requests it.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Indianapolis, IN - Information Technology Board - Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Channel 16 manager reported 550 hours of total production in 2024, 406 meetings covered and detailed website and viewer statistics; funding now flows through county general revenue rather than a dedicated cable-franchise allocation.","taxTitle","Indianapolis City, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",3627,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684214,"ISA reports enterprise projects, year-end finances and survey showing high satisfaction but chargeback concerns",1041,2629000,3670000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee&start=2629&end=3670","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee/thumbnail_2629000.jpg","/articles/6684214/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/ISA-reports-enterprise-projects-year-end-finances-and-survey-showing-high-satisfaction-but-chargeback-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684214-d677c6a1874e31493355e635096be5d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136756&Signature=JpFDEB6YF0uEsO3LZm1bCTIG6HP5WJzyOoHfapd86q6JEBR3ucEiXu9u3BBlrYqO~qzvKiJfAnKSSlFtHIJyp1HrK07ue5Exnt6hwy58eq9wuCp3btV5Vunnx~CT4ehroKNReHU-gOBj9dOaMEihf~ZCtvfl7-ydlhZnnVE6yCkStd1PackrPRkZJDMWcRKdt337TVcjgog7Mqt5y7ORZbAwKfOtFpSbNT8u-FuMAvkDtoIA6re7eIDt1hI3VEGVdJupjva7C34GPdi0PzHdiR~oWL4FJ~OsNA~4lHsnXNPQnVZoEIl6oGIaGisuGYMI-P-24Ki1IehWGhJLiII34w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","ISA and finance leaders told the Information Technology Board on Jan. 28 that enterprise IT projects are progressing while the agency’s year-end finances closed with limited unspent funds and an annual survey showed broad satisfaction but persistent concerns about the chargeback process and communications.

ISA reported a set of active enterprise projects: a Windows 11 upgrade (Isa staff cited that Microsoft’s supported lifecycle ends in October 2025 and pilots are under way), migration from legacy Avaya/Cisco telephony to Webex Calling, storage modernization (hardware delivered; configuration and data migration expected in Q2), an enterprise GIS migration with most services planned to move by March 31, 2025, and ongoing work to maintain Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance ahead of audits expected in April.

Colin Hill of ISA summarized capital and network support for projects including the juvenile services center move (networking ready, planned mid-February move-ins), a solid waste garage and an animal-care shelter still under construction in 2025–26, and other facility networking work.

Kai Davis, ISA chief financial officer, presented the year-end 2024 financials. She reported ISA ended the year with less than $20,000 remaining in the fund balance and that staff gave spot bonuses funded by underspends. Davis said internal chargebacks showed 101% collection with a city-side overpayment of about $350,000 that ISA is working to credit with the Office of Finance and Management (OFM). She said external chargebacks showed a 187% figure reflecting catch-up collections and renewed agency engagement, and that ISA will continue outreach to external agencies including township partners.

The ISA enterprise survey produced 631 responses, down about 152 from the prior year. Colin Hill said the survey showed a 97% overall satisfaction rating — a high point in the survey’s history — but included comments that the chargeback process needs overhaul and that ISA enterprise communications and the public-facing site could be improved.

Hill said ISA will work with managed-service partners to reexamine chargeback methodology and may propose changes to OFM; any systemic revision would be a multi-year effort. The board also heard that ISA is pursuing language-access improvements for the public site, will post a refresh schedule for desktop/laptop renewals, and is rolling out data-classification and AI-focused training that will be required for staff participating in the Copilot pilot.

Board members asked several substantive questions during the presentations about collection confidence, refresh cycles and the scope of digitization efforts. No formal action was required on these reports.","ISA updated the Information Technology Board on enterprise projects (Windows 11, phone migration, GIS, CJIS audits), year-end finances and an annual survey that showed high overall satisfaction but pointed to issues with the chargeback process and communications.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684215,"ISA outlines AI roadmap, pilot of Microsoft Copilot and training for city-county staff",737,3725000,4462000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee&start=3725&end=4462","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee/thumbnail_3725000.jpg","/articles/6684215/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/ISA-outlines-AI-roadmap-pilot-of-Microsoft-Copilot-and-training-for-city-county-staff","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684215-c3434718907bdb785da64e06adc97552/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136756&Signature=GSqeNDjGz~GFu9f0dV~vRsUALFZSS5lTO-bjwtKllk~YAwKLZ6EZdoOPQaE-gtrC0TSl6oSrGTfgwDKCUGYdKDMXFY9i0~FYiWwt56g5HMR~cTd5eBKerGRJ94HgNGvJkENNfCXx7g9sSEiAPT8ffl8FYpyUmB35Do4ZZbvkQ6WfMlqL-aGvU9tg3xCKJself8Tau7IphgYcaLfBR7EuJa4agIKK7V3batApbh2B-RKzpSRTpn4qwEC1u8UANMoRNb1JzK8h5myae5RySdg-bN4CM0pQ4zyHAkKnT~UviQ0Y8BY~JRYtMWdFspGJh5vGRspY-WvzXw0Ru0AXq8eAKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Information Services Agency on Jan. 28 described a phased plan to advance artificial intelligence across the Indianapolis city–county enterprise, centering initial work on an internal Microsoft Copilot pilot, staff training and updated governance and data controls.

Kate Coaten, chief digital officer for ISA, said the agency will use the city’s Microsoft environment to pilot Copilot as an internal workplace-efficiency tool and to build security and data controls around that use. “Copilot is only an internal workplace efficiency tool,” Coaten said, adding the pilot will be limited to staff accounts and to the data sources users already have access to in Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Outlook.

Coaten said the city’s enterprise Microsoft renewal, due in April, will provide roughly 200 Copilot licenses for the pilot. Participation in the pilot will require completion of two training modules: a dedicated AI training the city has contracted through a public-sector training partner (Innovate/US) and an ISA data-classification training. Coaten said ISA hopes to begin training in February and to update AI policy and procurement guidelines in the coming quarter.

ISA’s approach groups activity into three paths: establish (staffing, security tooling and policy), educate (training and certification) and engage (functional-group coordination, pilot projects and public transparency). Coaten said the agency intends to hire a chief data and privacy officer to work with ISA leadership on data and privacy controls, and to continue collaborative work with the city’s chief security and operations staff.

ISA also plans two “AI open house” days to let staff experiment with multiple models and tools and to solicit use-case ideas. Coaten said ISA will develop an internal AI hub on the ISA intranet and a public-facing indi.gov page describing city-county AI activities and safeguards.

Board members asked about likely use cases and risk. Several speakers suggested analytic applications — for example, parcel assessment workflows where AI can process large samples faster than manual review — but speakers emphasized the need for human review and robust data classification before automated tools make decisions that affect residents.

The board did not adopt further formal action; staff said next steps will include training rollout, policy updates and pilot selection.","ISA presented a three-path plan to advance artificial intelligence across Indianapolis city–county government, including a Copilot pilot, an education program, new staffing and policy updates aligned with NIST guidance.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684216,"IT Board approves five resolutions including parks security contract and record-digitization standard",38,2571000,2609000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee&start=2571&end=2609","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159143-421152b06c302f03e29ea342eb2c80ee/thumbnail_2571000.jpg","/articles/6684216/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/IT-Board-approves-five-resolutions-including-parks-security-contract-and-record-digitization-standard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684216-cdd5c279195a45d7ec2a117805199d98/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136756&Signature=ZkQfj5L3PF6QVVy9KfcS1CCnNErkGLl3PRPww0Px7WJYElu8hMH3lNIvdSMK0wGgG3N92ihF3iTQnPbA1o7ocpW-0f51ejD5vT8Ap6QubyT3KDYjza0Wb2IBn4bPtat6F2WfQE7Xt-D1U4ZO~T9BZQSqfgAda2yGZrIV~KQXOFT8kt7ZtOSpxckkR89EZPyUALYjdnn~~UepEThk-XdK-2RDGGIvCzv81P-m5daeZel6TLHUtN6jNeIRc0bMW4WjZC7OOXIeGn01MHVuEMmwF3oSEEOMAQH9wTqiyp-FdI0m1CS2vdUVDAyhgLbQtjfhLh2ggxHL11zMZPqD6wr2BQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Information Technology Board voted on Jan. 28, 2025 in Room 260 of the City-County Building to approve five resolutions covering security services for Indy Parks, a professional-services extension for document-scanning work, an enterprise standard for records digitization and archiving, and reappointments to two advisory committees.

The board approved Resolution 25-1 to adopt a new security contract for Indy Parks that will replace proprietary hardware, expand monitoring and camera surveillance, and be procured through the OMNIA cooperative purchasing agreement. The presenter said the contract covers park facilities across the department (the presentation cited a range of roughly 70–85 locations) and that the city would pay for three years of service up front. The board approved the resolution by voice vote; the record does not show a roll-call tally.

The board approved Resolution 25-2 to extend a professional-services agreement with Burke1 for scanning, digitization and application support tied to the city’s Kofax TotalAgility and FileNet systems. The extension authorizes a not-to-exceed amount of $1,000,000 for professional services; the presenter said the full contract ceiling would be $2,640,000 for a one-year term. The resolution passed by voice vote.

Resolution 25-3, the IT standard for record digitization and archiving, was approved. The standard requires that digitization requests be coordinated with both the city–county archives and ISA, that digital copies and indexes be provided to archives, and that vendors and volunteers be used only with archives and ISA approval. The presenter said the standard cites guidance from the Indiana Archives and Records Administration and is intended to bring city–county practice into statutory compliance.

The board also approved Resolution 25-4 reaffirming appointed members of the Enhanced Access Review Committee and Resolution 25-5 reaffirming members of the Information Technology Cybersecurity Committee; both measures retained the committees’ current membership and chairs.

All five items passed on voice votes during the meeting; the minutes do not record individual yes/no votes by member.

Votes and formal actions recorded on the meeting agenda are summarized below.","The Indianapolis Information Technology Board on Jan. 28 approved five resolutions covering a parks security contract, a professional services extension for document scanning, a citywide digitization standard, and two committee reappointments.","actionData","errors"]
