Purchasing the Release <br />4.0 upgrade wo~ld )~ot only insme 'hhe required continued support by MASYS but <br />would also aid the City in co~]f~rming with State mandated police record <br />security. The projected ~st w('.~Yl.d be $2,600.00 <br /> <br />Police Chief Auspos has ~l_so r~ue;~ted an increase in the Police Department, <br />Capital Outlay Budget in order ~ o ~rchase a light bar for the new squad car. <br />The new light bar would ?m used to replace a current older model light-bar that <br />does not provide as much security [light and fails to rotate at a safe speed in <br />cold weather. 'I~e project, ed co,~t would be $700.00° <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The ENFORS soft%{are ulogr~]es ar( ~upported on a per call basis and thus the <br />City will pay the iull cost at ~he time of the upgrade. The advantage to this <br />is that the fu3_]~ development co~t of the upgrade may be spread over all system <br />uses at the tithe of the u]x~rade thi(s reducing the .per user fee. Several of the <br />changes in the Re](.~ase 4.0 upgr~de have been in development since before the <br />City purchased the sTfstem~ It is {'.ritical that the City maintain its current <br />release status with all soft~ar~ w!,ndorso <br /> <br />The purchase of' th~: light [~r w¢~D~{~ upgrade the current level of light safety <br />and warning provided by City squg~ds. The current light bar that has been <br />transferred several times from ¢~e squad to another would be replaced by the <br />new bar at the .~nm~: time the ne~' ~!{uad is being equipped thus eliminating the <br />duplicating act of equipping th~ new squad. <br /> <br />These purchases wo~d.d increase t~e appropriations level of the 1987 Budget. <br />The costs involved are mJ~i~tl~o ..... could be funded by several means. Based on <br />the required ;level of funding? ~.he best method would be to approve the <br />appropriations fun{led by (~neral' Fu~d, Fund Balance. <br /> <br />A proposed resolution ~nendin~, 1he 3~987 Budget will be available at the <br />meeting o <br /> <br />Recommendation~ <br /> <br />Council <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Approve Resolt~tion ~gT.- ~ending the 1987 General Fund Budget. <br /> <br />Review Checklist:: <br /> <br />Administrator ._~_ <br />Attorney .... <br />Engineer .__ <br />Community Development Director .... <br /> <br />Chief of Police X <br />Finance Officer X <br />Public Works Superintendent ~ <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
