This equipment will <br /> comply with the new State mandates and will facilitate the transition to a <br /> papedess office environment. <br /> <br />· These purchases will be the first in a series of steps designed to bring the <br /> Records Unit into compliance with the new State-mandated Incident Based <br /> Reporting System (IBRS). <br /> <br /> · This award will help subsidize the cost of a system which must be purchased at <br /> full cost given the deadline set by the State for full implementation of IBRS. <br /> <br />· This program has been reviewed and endorsed by Computer Services for <br /> technical applicability and content. <br /> <br /> Financial Impact: ~ <br /> <br />· Computer Services had already anticipated the need to replace obsolete <br /> equipment and acquire new technology, so the funds had already been set aside <br /> as part of the capital expenditures line for that Department. <br /> <br />· This grant will help subsidize those expenditures, effectively saving the City <br /> $22,455. <br /> <br />· The matching ratios are 50~50 with both the State and the City providing $22,455 <br /> for a total program budget of $44,910. <br /> <br /> Motion by Mr. Clemons. and seconded by Mr. Griffin, to transfer $44,910 for <br />the Police Department Records Automation Grant, and was adopted by the following <br />vote: <br /> <br />Ayes: Benn.
