CONFIRMATION OF TODD ERICKSON
TO BE THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL SERVICES
The County's level of technology is at a point in its history in which there may be many changes in how
the County utilizes computers, telephonic communication and television. The County undertook searches for an
appropriate individual to lead the Department of Technical Services through the next few years. This individual
will be responsible for completing a five (5) year technology program to be presented to the Administration and
the Board of County Commissioners and for maintaining the daily services throughout the County system in the
variety of technological areas directed by the department.
After extensive advertising and interviewing, the Administrator is recommending Mr. Todd Erickson, a
resident of the Keys, to be the new Director. Mr. Erickson brings a wide variety of experiences and background
to the position and perhaps, most importantly, an energy and creativity that will be extremely important in
moving the County's technology forward.
Mr. Erickson, as did other finalists, spent a significant amount of time with the current Acting Director
and in the County's major locations to review the County's systems. Mr. Erickson is very familiar with the types
of systems that are utilized in the County and has substantial experience with managing both computer and
telephonic networks.
In the years the Administrator has been with Monroe County, the County has moved from its old AS400
computer system into a PC-based network system. The telephonic system has been expanding to meet the
needs of the County over a 100+ mile distance. Now that the County has established a technological base, Mr.
Erickson's experience, energy and creativity should move the County to the next level over the next few years.
