past their service life as a patrol vehicle. Once newer vehicles are put into service, older
patrol vehicles can be recycled into specialized patrol assignments which demand less
service hours from the vehicle until that vehicle can no longer be safely utilized for
police duty. By implementing this request, the city will no longer be required to purchase
police vehicles in mass quantities at great cost which as a result, will extend the useful
life of all fleet vehicle as well as reducing the average age of the active patrol fleet, which
will in turn, reduce repair costs, resulting in a cost savings to the city

inavailability of parts. Newer equipment is severly needed to update and equip police
officers with this essential mode of communication.

Item / Project Name: Police Computer Technology & Equipment -
Computer Terminals & Work Stations
Quantity: Eight (8) Computer Terminal at $800 each
Description: Computer terminals and related equipment to replace and
upgrade current computer network operations.
Estimated Cost : $6,000.00 (recurring annually)
(per item and total - attached detailed cost estimate)
(Note any additional costs to operating budget as well. (ex. maintenance cost etc.) )
Justification / Benefit: The Police Department operates a multi-tiered computer
network that controls several functions which are critical to the operation of the police
department. The network currently consists of multiple servers and approximately fifty (50)
computer workstations in the department. Managed functions include police call for service
dispatching, police records management, interface with state, federal and interstate
criminal databanks, operation of the city-wide video monitoring system (street cams) as
well as control of remote termials in patrol vehicles and other satellite facilities. This request
also takes a high priority as the useful life of this equipment is greatly decreased by
the amount of use that it gets as a 24-hour, 7-day a week operation. As a result, this
equipment is exposed to the danger of catastrophic system failure which, if occurred,
would severly handicap police operations. By maintaining a level of current, newer
equipment, the department can be assured of a healthy, properly functioning network.

that equipment. In addition, the requirement for the use of facsimilie machines are still
essential to police operations as a great deal of infromation is still transmitted to police via
fax. Such equipment is also used on a 24-hour, 7-day a week basis.

Item / Project Name: Department Telephone System
Quantity: One Complete System, including equipment, installation & wiring
Description: Acquisition of a replacement telephone system for the current obsolete
and outdated system
Estimated Cost : $30,000.00 (approximate)
(per item and total - attached detailed cost estimate)
(Note any additional costs to operating budget as well. (ex. maintenance cost etc.) )
Justification / Benefit: The department has been seeking to replace the current
telephone system for several years now. Several reports have been generated outlining
the degradation of the current system to the point of total failure. The current system
operates all of the in-house telephone lines and extensions to all police facilities, including
all satellite facilities, as well as the department's telephone voice mail system. The system
currently in use has never been upgraded and is now past the point where it can be
upgraded to current specifications. All of the telephone equipment that is associated with
the system is obsolete, out-of-production and now, non-repairable due to the inavailability
of parts. Installation of a new system will not only allow all of the latest available technology,
but will allow the system to provide additional features and functions not available in the
current system which will enhance the department's performance.
