Tyler Technologies
The Allegany County 911 Radio Project is requesting the
acceptance of Tyler Technologies proposal for the replacement of their 911 CAD
(Computer Aided Dispatch). The total amount of funds requested is $420,000. The
cost of this purchase will be primarily shared through the 2018 PSAP (Public
Safety Answering Points) Grant and the Allegany County 911 Surcharge Account.
The Allegany County 911 Radio Project is also requesting a
resolution to establish Capital Project H3030 (Public Safety 911- CAD) for
2017, and fund this project as follows:
911 Surcharge Reserve – A 889.0005 $ 228,000
(This reserve has a current balance of $ 407,000)
2018 Expense Line A 3112.403 911 – Maintenance Contract $
52,000
(This represents the amount the Sheriff has in his request
for 2018 that will not be needed for the current vendor for 2018. If this
project is approved the money could be moved to the Capital Project in the
Budget process for 2018.)
2018 PSAP Grant - $ 140,000
(The Sheriff’s Office has already confirmed with Homeland
Security that this next allocation from them can be used for the purchase of
software for 911.The amount will not be able to be allocated to the project
until the Board approves and accepts the award in 2018, and then the grant will
be budgeted.)
Total request for Project $ 420,000
FISCAL IMPACT: Project to be funded as listed above –
primarily reserve monies derived from 911 surcharge fees collected and grant
funds. The amount of local tax dollars requested is $52,000. Annual maintenance
costs will begin in 2019 after installation of system and will be $44,654, per
the Tyler Technologies quote, and will be budgeted in 2019.
This request was approved on a motion made by Legislator
Fanton, seconded by Legislator Healy, and carried. Prepare Resolution
