These three work units have historically provided centralized Information System, GIS, and data-related strategy and support across the bureau. While the historical focus has primarily been the operation and maintenance of existing BES systems, innovations and proposed IT- related initiatives (like the current Infor/Asset Management System replacement project) are typically evaluated and managed by staff in collaboration with the IT Governance Committee, the requesting group, and prioritized in accordance with the bureau's Strategic Plan and the guidance of our Bureau Leadership Team. 763

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Services Database & application services; Data strategy services; Mapping & GIS services Equity Impacts The Information Systems and Mapping Program aims to deliver services and data accessibility equitably Citywide, in alignment with the BES Strategic Plan and Goal 2 – Equitable Service Delivery and the same goal in the bureau's 2023-2025 Equity Plan. Additionally, the bureau utilizes two distinct committees – one for IT Governance and one for Data Governance. These committees review IT and Data-related project proposals and make recommendations to our Bureau Leadership Team based on a scoring process that includes a “Beneficial Impacts to Equity” category to evaluate to what extent proposed projects: • Increase data access and transparency to the community; • Increase the City's ability to quantify current and future equity impacts and services to the community; • Increase the City's ability to identify potential solutions to disproportionate outcomes to the community; and • Have measurable and positive impacts specific to historically underserved and vulnerable communities. Additionally, as part of Success Factors, all applicable staff have both Citywide and Bureau-specific equity objectives included within their Personal and Service objectives, to foster conversations and awareness within the centralized services provided. This commitment extends to including equity objectives within the existing performance evaluation templates for represented staff. Changes to Program Internal Materials and Services budget has increased as citywide costs for services provided by BTS have increased for all bureaus, including BES. Bureau-wide funding for these expenses is housed in this program offer. Due to an overage in the BTS accumulation of BES funding for computer Lifecycle Replacements, BTS refunded $300K to BES, some of which will help to defray interagency expenses in FY26-27. The City, via the Core Services Realignment Project, is also in the process of evaluating and reimagining how bureau-embedded Technology efforts and positions will be organized, assigned and prioritized in the coming FY and beyond, so the future of this Program and its long-standing, bureau-centric support is likely to change in FY 2026-27. 764
