Desk Position for FY23 and to transfer the current IT Intern into the new part-time position. The IT
Department resources will be in high demand as the ERP Project kicks off in 2023. This project is
expected to take 100% commitment of two IT staff members. Currently, the IT Department is comprised
of five (5) full-time employees. The ERP project commitment will represent about 50% or more of the
department's time over the next 14-18 months. Staff requested authorization to continue the employment
of CCUA's most recent High School Intern, Andrew Robertson, as a part-time employee. Andrew
graduated from Middleburg High School and currently attends St. John's River State College. During his
time spent at CCUA as an intern, he has a solid understanding of our systems and needs. He has
mastered many of the help desk level tasks including laptop maintenance, deploying iPhones, and most
importantly helping staff resolve computer problems. Andrew is familiar with the CCUA network and
will be instantly helpful to further CCUA's mission. The position will be funded from the Executive
