2021-22 2023-24 3,600,000 In 2021 the Innovation and Technology Department began efforts to improve business processes in the land management and permitting systems. During the pandemic, it became clear that paper processes were no longer an effective way of serving our residents or business partners. The city wished to replace the existing solution with an improved digital solution to meet the needs of city employees, residents, and businesses. Over the course of a year, city staff reviewed processes and gathered requirements for a new solution.
A new solution was selected in late 2021 to help improve processes in the land management and permitting system space. Throughout 2022 the IT department has continued to lead this project, working alongside almost every city department to ensure the new solution will be tailored to meet the city of Fontana’s needs in this space. This project has been a 3-year effort, and we are now nearing the tail-end of the project. The new, improved solution will seamlessly connect with surrounding systems, assist customers with an easy-to-use interface, ensure city employees process requests in a consistent and efficient manner, and provide dynamic insights to internal operations. The new solution went live July 2023. There are Quarter 1 FY2024 requests for addtional work.

2021-23 2023-25 3,150,000 The City of Fontana developed and implemented the Fontana 311 system to improve communication and streamline services to its Residents and Businesses by bringing all customer interactions to one central location.
The Fontana 311 system will be a one-stop shop for businesses and residents to file complaints, get answers to questions, keep residents informed and overall improve citizen engagement. The Innovation and Technology department led the project to develop this new system and was sponsored by our Communications and Marketing office. Throughout 2022 and 2023, there has been extensive work with almost every city department to ensure all city services are captured within the application.
Residents will be able to call 311, use a website, or our 311 app to make that first request and then see it through to completion. The Fontana 311 system will allow staff to track requests from initiation to completion. Fontana 311 offers digital government services and makes interacting with government a much smoother process for our residents and businesses. The Fontana 311 system went live in February of 2023 and is now entering phase 2 of the project, which will bring an IVR with AI to assist our residents when they call for services.
