Various advancements have been made in computer aided scheduling and community alert computer information which will improve the department's ability to manage equipment and staff deployment, alert the community to emergencies and provide crime information. TRAK computerized hardware and sof~are is used by a number of area agencies. The system will be used to capture and distribute high quality images of missing persons and criminals, both in the community and with other agencies through fax machines and through other agencies with TRAK. SUBSEQUENT YEARS: We anticipate funding under this appropriation in subsequent years. However, it is possible that the COPS appropriation may not be funded in any subsequent year. The TRAK system will require about $100/year in updates. ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURES: Mobile Data Computers $ 77,000 Completion of AVL 10,000 Mapping Software 18,500 Field Rifles and Training 24,000 Equipment, Software Improvements 7,000 TRAK System 6,500 (The preceding costs are estimated). TOTAL $143,000 FISCAL IMPACT Through this program the State provides additional ~mding of approximately $143,000 to Front Line Law Enforcement for fiscal year 1999/2000, with anticipation that the program may be funded in each succeeding year. There are no additional costs, and unlike some Federally funded programs, we do not provide matching ~mds and do not have to absorb the cost in the event of the absence or limitation of State funding. Decisions regarding funding of projects are made based on need weighed against available resources. We recommend that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to fund this program for 1999/2000 through the use of the COPS appropriation. R~tfully Submitted, Timothy P. Neal Deborah Acosta Chief of Police City Manager ~ .oO. 9.07
