About

Chula Vista MIS Department—now formally the Information and Technology Services Department—provides citywide technology infrastructure from the 276 Fourth Avenue City Hall complex in western Chula Vista. The department develops, implements, and maintains computer hardware, software, mobile communications, and enterprise application systems for all 14 city departments, supporting a workforce of approximately 1,300 employees including staff at partner facilities—among them Pima Medical Institute and the Living Coast Discovery Center. Network operations staff manage the city's local-area and wireless networks across City Hall and remote facilities, with the Geographic Information System division producing the interactive mapping and spatial-analysis tools that underpin Chula Vista's planning, engineering, and public-safety functions. Smart-city technology deployed under ITS oversight includes advanced traffic-signal controllers at 220-plus intersections, drone-as-first-responder integration for the Police Department, and cloud-migration initiatives that serve public-facing booking platforms for venues including North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre on the Bayfront. The department's fiber-optic backbone supports vehicle-to-infrastructure communication on the city's federally designated Autonomous Vehicle Proving Ground, linking smart-intersection hardware across State Route 125 and local arterial networks.
