Carmany, City Manager FROM: June Yotsuya, Assistant City Manager . SUBJECT: Citywide Telephone and IT Technology Improvements SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City Council is requested to approve a budget amendment to authorize funding for the completion of the City telephone project and proceed with stabilization and improvements to the City's IT system and website. DISCUSSION: The City entered into two separate capital improvement projects last year to upgrade a failing telephone system and to undergo extensive upgrades and reconfiguration to the Police and Citywide technology functions, The telephone system will be upgraded through the City's utility provider, Verizon, and will be using a Cisco based platform that will also be compatible with the City's Cisco based Information Management System improvements. These projects were originally planned to be completed during fiscal year 2006-07, However, due to personnel and internal issues within the lead departments of Public Works and Administrative Services, the projects were not completed as scheduled and required an overhaul in design and configuration to address the City's pressing voice and data needs, as well as issues of security, redundancy, and the ability to accommodate needed technical development applications for public safety, public works, records management and administrative service programs and support. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the funds originally designated for these projects are no longer available and will not immediately be reimbursed to the City because of an ongoing criminal investigation regarding an alleged misappropriation of funds from the telephone, IT and related cabling project accounts. In order to complete the necessary work and upgrades for these two projects before further deterioration of the telephone system occurs and to address critical security and technological issues, staff requests that the City Council reallocate funds in order to proceed with the necessary work, Agenda Item /I e e e October 22, 2007 City Council Agenda Report-Citywide Telephone and IT Technology Improvements Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: A budget amendment to reallocate funds to the telephone and IMS project accounts in the amount of $350,000 would decrease the General Fund's undesignated fund balance for FY 2007- 08 from $10,428,849 to $10,078,849,00.
