DIGITAL PRESENCE
VIDEO SECURITY Information Technology assisted Parks & Recreation with a video surveillance system upgrade at the Community Center and Adult Recreation Center. 25 cameras were strategically placed on the interior and exterior of both facilities and the system has already proven effective by providing video of a vandal who was later identified and charged.
The City’s digital presence is growing steadily as we continue to engage residents and businesses where they’re at. Website views topped two million, a 39% increase over 2022. Facebook and Instagram reach hit 372k, a 98% increase over last year, and the Fairfield Weekly newsletter web page was consistently one of the top five web pages visited in 2023. To subscribe to or view the newsletter, visit www.fairfield.ca.gov/weekly.
INTERACTIVE STORY MAPS The Information Technology Department utilized Geographical Information Systems technology to create story maps. Story maps combine text, maps, and other multimedia content to provide a more interactive user experience. Nine story maps were created in 2023 including Lopes Road, Water Infrastructure, and Battery Recycling Drop- off Locations. Here is an example of one of the story maps for Lopes Road.
HOMELESS RESOURCES Homeless Services continues their work with the Police Department to coordinate Homeless Outreach Partnership Events for low-income or homeless individuals to connect with local resources and Homeless Roundtable Events. The roundtable events provide a forum for service providers and key stakeholders to address homeless issues, pool resources, and explore solutions. For more information, visit www.fairfield.ca.gov/homeless.
WARMING CENTER & STREET MEDICINE TEAM At the end of 2023, BayNorth Church of Christ was selected, through a Request for Proposals, to host a warming center as needed. To date, the warming center has opened once. Homeless Services is still in talks with Solano County for a Fairfield Street Medicine Team.
RECRUIT COMMITMENT
Human Resources participated in the UC Davis Fall Internship and Career Fair as part of their commitment to retaining, recruiting, and developing an empowered, engaged, and diverse workforce. This annual event connected students with employers across various fields and industries and gave the department an opportunity to share valuable information about the recruitment process and career paths available in
the city. For available jobs visit www.fairfield.ca.gov/jobs.
