3 <br /> Information Technology Capital Project <br /> 7. The State recently agreed to reimburse the Department of Social Services for computer <br /> equipment purchased for its Child Protective Services (CPS) unit). A copy of the approval <br /> letter from the State Department of Health and Human Services Controller's Office is included <br /> as Attachment 5 of this abstract. The estimated cost to purchase the equipment about <br /> $64,500. Attachment 6 of this abstract provides a listing of the proposed purchase. <br /> In keeping with the County's normal computer purchase and installation procedures, the <br /> Information Systems Department will purchase the equipment from the Information Technology <br /> Capital Project. IS staff will also install the equipment. This process provides measures for <br /> inventory control and compatibility. The receipt of these unanticipated funds allows funds <br /> currently allocated in the County's Information Technology Capital Project for scheduled <br /> replacements to be reallocated for other possible uses such as replacement of legacy systems. <br /> Attachment 7, Information Technology Capital Project Ordinance, provides for the receipt of <br /> the state monies and allows for the equipment purchase. <br /> Cedar Grove Volunteer Fire Department <br /> 8. The Chief and President of the Cedar Grove Fire Department submitted a request to use a <br /> portion of the department's fund balance to use as down payment on a pumper truck. The <br /> new truck will replace one that is twenty-one years old and the department has found that <br /> locating replacement parts is quite difficult and expensive. A copy of the Department's letter <br /> requesting an appropriation of$25,000 is included as attachment 8 of this abstract. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve <br /> the budget ordinance amendments, grant project ordinances and capital project ordinances. <br />
