Internal Services Department (ISD) was created by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) in 1989 by consolidating four individual departments: Purchasing, Data Processing, Mechanical, and Building Services. ISD provides services to client County Departments. These services are provided by ISD employees or through contracted service providers.

For Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009, ISD has 2,370 budgeted positions and a budget of approximately $473 million. ISD also manages the telecommunications utility, general utilities and customer pass-through budgets totaling approximately $794 million.

The Director reports to the Chief Executive Office and manages the Department. The ISD Organization Chart is found on Page 5. ISD is organized into four distinct business operations:
