The Year 2000 assessments for all significant information technology along with action plans to address non- compliant systems have been completed. Several systems were already compliant, including the library and geographic information systems. The municipal court system was replaced by a new, compliant system in January 1999. The public safety system for computer aided dispatching and record management systems, and the utility billing system were upgraded this past Spring and Summer 1999. Assessment of the City's business partners in respect to their ability to continue providing critical goods and services is complete.
Action plans for at-risk vendors have been developed and are in place.
As the new year approaches, the City of Corpus Christi has a special Y2K Readiness Team in place prepared to test major systems and address any possible Y2K communications. In June of 1999, the City of Corpus Christi, along with representatives from the area's major service providers, participated in a three-day public forum providing information regarding their respective Y2K readiness status and answering related questions from the public.
