The main issue facing the Division of Administrative Services is to provide
adequate support in procurement, personnel management, accounting, budget, information technology and compliance with federal programs. A growing list of technology projects geared toward automating processes and enhancing customer service is facing the division, with only limited staff resources
to address them.
A deferred maintenance backlog of over $4 million on state-owned facilities continues to be a critical issue. The department has numerous facilities statewide ranging from offices to warehouses to bunkhouses. Many are old and in need of repair and/or modification to make them structurally sound,
code compliant, and ADA accessible. A capital project to address the most pressing deficiencies is part of the budget request.
The division will continue its automation efforts by developing Internet applications for acquiring permits issued by the department. In response to federal funding requirements and prior year audit findings, we will also be working on an improved timekeeping system for department employees
