Role of NHLoGIN Stakeholders

When technology is deployed by the State at the local level, its impact extends beyond the specific end user. Often times the perspective of finance directors, managers or IT managers is invalueable to give a blended perspective of the impact on a particular initiative. As such, we are stakeholders. NHRSA 9:4-b requires that information technology plans initiated by State government identify a process for collaborative involvement of stakeholders representing other levels of government in the development, design and deployment of information technology systems that involve or impact such other political subdivisions of the State.

The initiatives identified below represent the stakeholder collaboration efforts that our membership has been, and is presently involved with. NHLoGIN is always looking for qualified individuals to serve on technology initiatives. If you would care to serve, please contact any one of the Executive Committee members.

Legislation
  Stakeholder Collaboration and Municipal and County Representation on Applied Technology Council
    Through a study committee requested by New Hampshire LoGIN, legislation was enacted that requires that standards and processes be developed for collaborative stakeholder involvement to assure that hardware, software, and telecommunications systems acquired or developed by the state are as compatible among themselves and with other systems of the state and political subdivisions as are necessary and practical.

  Acceptance of Credit Cards
    NH LoGIN was successful in amending this statute to allow a legislative body to authorize the municipality's treasurer or other appropriate municipal official to accept credit cards. In doing so, the municipality may add to the amount due, in addition to any penalties and interest payable, a service charge for the acceptance of the card.

  Municipal and County Representation on Information Technology Management Advisory Board
    This statute was amended to provide for representation from municipal government and a representative from county government to the New Hampshire Council on Applied Technology. The focus of the Applied Technology Council is to gather and disseminate information relative to the application of technology-based innovations, inventions, adaptations, and other uses in or by the private and public sectors in New Hampshire. Heather Anderson, Communications Director at the Town of Merrimack currently represents municipalities and Cathy Stacey, Registrar of Deeds of Hillsborough County represents the counties.

  Voting privileges for Municipal and County Representation on Information Technology Management Advisory Board
    NH LoGIN is instrumental in securing membership on the State's Information Technology Management Advisory Board for both municipal and county representation. In the 2002 Legislative session, this statute was again amended to provide voting rights for both the County and Municipal representatives. Currently Patricia Little, City Clerk of Keene, serves as the municipal representative and Frank Covello, IT Director of Rockingham County represents the counties.
