FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted for this project. Telecommunications will recover the contract costs through charges to County Departments who use Telecommunications Services. BACKGROUND: There are currently 28 Harris telephone switches installed at various locations throughout the County and, for the most part, these switches operate independently. This lack of networking does not allow the County to take advantage of the technology the telephone industry has to offer such as call accounting, least cost routing, equipment failure notification, and 911 call tracking. These and other options are available to the County, but first the County needs to update its telephone system by networking all the switches, installing the monitoring software and hardware and then implementing specialized programming that will enable the County to take advantage of options like: CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: X YES SIGNATURE: ' { s ; ! �.-4t COMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR—RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S):O ACTION OF BOA APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS E� I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A —1—`—UNANIMOUS{ABSENT ;; 1 TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF AN AYES: NOES: ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ON MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.

'' ,DEPUTY ■ A Countywide Call Accounting System • E91'I (Database for the locations of all County phone numbers) • Setter teleconferencing options = Voice over IP (VOID) • More cost effective call routing (Least Call Routing) • 5 Digit Dialing ■ Caller ID (off and on the County Network) At this point, we feel this cost will be recovered by the efficiencies that will be available to the County. Our vendor Teletronics could perform the upgrading of the telephone system, but we have decided to use the services of an individual who is very familiar with the County's equipment through his years of servicing the County's equipment as a result of his previous employment with Teletronics. We feel he is the best-qualified person to assist the County with this effort. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTIONS: If this request is not approved DoIT/Telecommunications will not have the resources available to continue with the upgrade to the current system in order to take advantage of current technology.

IT. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds will not be encumbered by the agreement and no additional General Fund monies are requested. Services will be charged out to requesting departments. III. REASON FOR.RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND- County telecommunication service requests continue to increase due to the rapid technological changes in voice and data systems.
