roadside assistance for each device. These benefits help reduce the expense of the service
and down time of equipment that breaks down in the field.
In the event of an emergency or disaster, equipment can be located immediately enabling
faster response. If there is a citizen's complaint such as speeding, length of parking, location
of parking, or other complaint, the software can assist in identifying the specifics of the
complaint.
Other agencies have experienced lowered fuel costs and higher productivity.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, the GSD Fleet Division will continue with the current
methods of identifying equipment failure or performance issues. The County will not be
able to immediately locate equipment in service in the event of an emergency.

None.
