SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
David Gustafson, Information Technology Analyst IV, is retiring from DoIT, with over 24 years of dedicated public service to Solano County effective August 2, 2024. He started his public service on December 27, 1999, as a Programmer (Entry) for the Assessor Office in the Solano County Integrated Property System (SCIPS) while working in the Assessor-Recorder Office. Mr. Gustafson played a pivotal role in the redesign of the Assessor Property Tax bill, where he facilitated collaboration among the Auditor-Controller Office, Resource Management, and DoIT to meet technological requirements. During his tenure within the Assessor-Recorder Office, he received multiple promotions progressing through the Programmer Analyst classification to a Systems Analyst on November 5, 2006.

Over his 24 years at Solano County, he has shown unwavering commitment and impactful contributions ensuring his legacy will endure for years to come.
