FC CASE AUTHORIZE MATCHING FUNDING FOR THE ANOKA COUNTY CENTRAL RECORDS PROJECT By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer and Dave Gustafson, Police Chief Background: The City of Ramsey has been a participative party in the Anoka County Central Records Project which was established in an attempt to come up with technology solutions that will allow the entire county access on a central records system. The study was funded by a $5,000 grant that was received by the County and requires a match of $5,000. Anoka County is requesting all of the jurisdictions participating in the study for a voluntary contribution towards the matching funds. The group presented several options, one of which was to allocate the contributions based on the number of calls received by central communications. The City of Ramsey represents approximately 4.5% of the calls processed by central communications which would result in a voluntary contribution of $225.00. A copy of the options is attached showing the calculations. This amount could be funded through the professional services line item of the data processing budget. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the voluntary amount of $225 be paid to the County as our share of the matching funds for the Anoka County Central Records Project and that this money be allocated from the professional services line in the data processing budget for 1997. Committee Action: Motion to recommend City Council authorize a contribution of $225 towards the matching funds for the study being done for the Anoka County Central Records Project and that these funds are to be allocated from the professional services line in the data processing budget for 1997.
