He joined as the city's first CIO and IT director, and he established the city's information technology department.
In that role, he's overseeing the city's IT functions and technology needs while helping modernize how the organization operates.
During his tenure, the city expanded Wi-Fi services across downtown Mountain View and city facilities, which many of you have probably enjoyed over the last several years.
He helped launch the new city website and intranet and helped develop and implement the city's online permitting platform.
Roger also established the city's geographic information service mapping group, creating a centralized development and support for enterprise-wide GIS services, which if you're a government geek, you know is really, really important that we know where everything is in all the assets within the city and what the city owns across the entire organization.
He created the enterprise applications group and launched projects to replace several major systems, including the city's utility billing program, work order management and land management systems.
Under his leadership, the IT team also strengthened the city's cybersecurity protections, including real-time monitoring of internal networks for system attacks, multi-factor authentication, employee cybersecurity training, and stronger antivirus protections.
Roger also led the effort to integrate new hardware and software systems across departments to improve efficiency and productivity, and he championed innovation across the organization, drawing on his private sector experience to modernize systems and internal functions, including document processing, legal inquiries, and employee onboarding and offboarding.
Particularly important was his efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic when he helped to ensure that the city could continue providing essential services by implementing virtual and hybrid meeting support for both the city council and all of our other public bodies who were able to continue holding public meetings during that period.
And he helped enable remote work for city employees on very short notice.
More recently, he initiated the city's responsible use of artificial intelligence, helping Mountain View become one of the first jurisdictions to join the Gov AI Coalition and leading development of the city's AI administrative policy.
So Roger, on behalf of Mayor Ramos and my colleagues on the city council, we recognize and commend you for your steadfast leadership service and dedication to the residents of Mountain View.
And most importantly, we wish you a long and very happy retirement.
Congratulations and thank you for all you've done for the city of Mountain View.
Do you wanna say a few words?
As of this month, I think we have 600 laptops in the field.
All our public meetings, you can participate remotely.
I had said to my wife a couple years earlier that, boy, if I could do my career over again, I'd like to work for a city.
They're just really fascinating how they work.
So you both helped create this position.
