File #: 18-539 MEETING DATE: 11/19/2018
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Gilbert Garcia, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Approve the transfer of Fiscal Year end 2017/18 Police Department's Budget Savings from the
General Fund (Fund 100) to the Equipment Fund (Fund 323) for the Police Department's
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) Project
Statement of Issue:
The Police Department's integrated Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and automated Records
Management System (RMS) was implemented in 2005 and has reached the end of its useful life.
Due to operational impacts and risks associated with using a system that is end-of-life, it is necessary
to update to a modern, fully supported version of CAD/RMS. The Finance Department is requesting
authorization to allocate $1.2 million from one-time salary savings realized in the Police Department's
budget in FY 2017/18 towards the replacement of the Police Department's Computer Aided Dispatch
(CAD) and automated Records Management Systems (RMS).
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year 2017/18 began October 1 , 2017, and ended June 30, 2018. Due to the shortened fiscal
year, each department's budget was prorated down to a nine-month fiscal year. In FY 2017/18, the
Police Department realized one-time savings from vacancies. In a typical fiscal year, salary savings
in the Police Department are offset by corresponding expenditures in overtime, as the department
works to maintain essential levels of service. Demand for the Police Department's services is
particularly high during the summer months. However, because the fiscal year ended on June 30,
expenditures for the summer months of July through September were avoided in FY 2017/18. As the
fiscal year did not include most of the summer months, the Police Department realized one-time
savings. Staff is requesting that Council authorize the use of unspent General Fund appropriations, in
the amount of $1.2 million, to fund critically needed CAD/RMS equipment and system replacements,
and to transfer the funds from the General Fund (Fund 100) to the Technology Fund (Fund 323) for
that purpose.
Recommended Action:
Approve the transfer of $1.2 million in FY 2017/18 year-end savings in the Police Department from

the General Fund (Fund 100) to the Technology Fund (Fund 323) for the replacement of the Police
Department's Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management Systems.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommendation and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The current CAD/RMS, implemented in 2005, has reached its end of life and the system is no longer
supported with patches and other critical updates. The RMS system has not been updated since
2014. Because the software is out-of-date, it does not function properly on modern computers, This
means that the City has to operate the systems on legacy hardware. The combination of older
hardware and software means that the system's functionality is deteriorating.
CAD and RMS systems are critical to the operation of every Police Department. Everything the
Police Department does and every record kept is tied to these two systems. It is an essential tool for
the efficient utilization of resources, effective tactical deployments, enhanced community policing
efforts, and information sharing programs. The CAD system is the backbone to receiving and
dispatching over 100,000 calls for service every year.
A robust CAD system is essential to safely keep track of each officer in the field, deploying resources,
processing information quickly and getting important safety information to officers before they arrive
at calls. The RMS system provides assistance on the back end and helps manage crime reports,
evidence, jailed inmates, detective cases and much more. Not only are the CAD and RMS systems
integral to conducting daily business and for officer safety, but they are also essential to interaction
with residents, businesses, and visitors who need Police Department services.
To replace the current CAD/RMS, a transfer of $1 .2 million of unspent FY 2017/18 appropriations
from the Police Department budget to the Technology Fund (Fund 323) is requested. This amount
coupled with a previously approved $800,000 year-end transfer into the Technology Fund that was
approved two years ago will cover most, if not all, of the estimated costs of replacing this critical
system. The Police Department and the Finance Department have published an RFP for the eventual
replacement of CAD/RMS due to its end of life status (Attachment 1). The due date for bids to be
received is December 14, 2018. There is no other ongoing funding stream that is available to replace
this system. As such, this transfer is requested in order to facilitate the timely replacement of the
Police Department's mission-critical CAD/RMS.
This funding will enhance public safety and support the efficient use of resources and effective
tactical deployment.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and Maintain Public Safety.

a description of how the solution encrypts data transmissions (particularly NCIC)
Attached? Y/N
14. HBPD prefers that three system environments be established prior to cutover to live
production: testing, training, and production. The testing environment will be used to
test new versions, new data, and alternative configurations of the system both during
implementation (i.e., for Functional Acceptance Tests). The system's training
environment will also be used both during implementation (e.g., to train system
users) and post cutover to live operations. The system's production environment
must be fully tested and ready prior to cutover to live operations of the system and
will be used as the main operational environment for the system. The three
environments should be independent of each other, meaning that transactions
occurring in one environment will not impact or modify data contained in the other
environments nor impact their performance (i.e., system response times and system
availability). Please fully describe the equipment and software contained in each
environment, when each environment will be fully operational, and how system
users and administrators will be able to access each of these environments?
