REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 1996, my office presented your Board with a report on the
issues surrounding the Sheriff-Coroner's Emergency Communication Center. At
that time your Board requested a progress report within two months . Since
then, the General Services Department has completed the architectural
selection process and has hired Marcie Lee Wong, Architect, to complete the
design drawings for upgrading this facility. It is anticipated this work
will be completed within two months. At the end of this phase, specific cost
estimates for this facility upgrade project will be known and a specific
financing plan can be developed.
On December 3, 1996, your Board approved acceptance of a U. S. Department of
Justice Grant in the amount of $1, 777,480 (COPS MORE 96 grant) .
Approximately $700, 000 of this grant will be available for the purchase of
automated hardware equipment and software programs for the Emergency
Communication Center. Sheriff department staff continues to work with
various vendors to identify specific equipment required and obtain cost
estimates . 'Representatives from the Office of the Sheriff will be meeting
with Human Resources Department staff to identify personnel procedures that
could be streamlined to facilitate the hiring and retention of dispatchers .
It is anticipated that these remaining issues can be resolved by March 1,
1997 . A final project design and financing plan, L�dip ,. both remodeling
and equipment will be submitted to your Board f� y mid-M ch.
