11 1 and a half years old, and this process will make the oldest computers 4 and a half years old. 2 He said the staggering of this process, replacing about 20% of computers each year, has been 3 very beneficial. 4 Chair Jacobs said the County had a more aggressive PC replacement schedule in the 5 past and could not afford to keep doing it. He said it is good to see this is coming back. 6 Jim Northup said he was surprised to see the County edging up in age, but he said the 7 timing was around the time of a major upgrade to almost half of the fleet. He said there are 8 currently about 1300 computers, including laptops, and it is easier to manage doing a few of 9 them every year. 10 Michael Talbert said disk space becomes more and more important as the County 11 continues to move away from paper storage. 12 13 Register of Deeds 14 Paul Laughton said this is a preservation fund from a mandate that 10 percent of 15 register of deeds fees go into a separate project. He said this is $80,000 in 2014 -15. 16 17 Life Safety — ADA 18 He said $25,000 is designated for the access doors at West Campus and the Seymour 19 Center. 20 21 Viper Radio system / Communication Systems Improvement 22 Paul Laughton said both of these items are related to Emergency Services 23 communications. He said the Viper Radio includes $1 million in costs for communication 24 towers, and this has been spread out over a 2 year period, with $500,000 in 2013 -14 and 25 $500,000 in 2014 -15. 26 He said the $122,000 in Communication Systems Improvements is to continue 27 scheduled replacement of the 800 MHz radios. He noted that there is a $920,000 amount in 28 year 4 for the replacement of the sheriffs' radios. 29 Commissioner Gordon said there had been discussion at one point about changing the 30 way the agendas are accessed on the website to allow people to access one item without 31 downloading everything. She said she is not sure if this involves buying a new software system 32 or if it would go in the CIP, but she does not see anything in the budget. 33 Michael Talbert said this item was not included in the CIP, because it did not receive any 34 votes after the discussion at the retreat. He said if this needs to be re- visited and moved up, 35 this can be done, but it will require some software and potentially some hardware. 36 Clarence Grier said $50,000 was earmarked the past two years in the IT budget for 37 Board initiatives. He said this is could be paid for out of that $100,000. 38 Commissioner Gordon said she wants to flag this item so it is not forgotten. 39 Michael Talbert said it can be done, and he will find out what it would cost and bring that 40 back to the Board. 41 42 Blackwood Farm Park 43 Paul Laughton said the last six items are related to parks. He referred to page 45 of the 44 CIP and reviewed the following information from the agenda package, as discussed at the 45 March 11 th work session: 46 Blackwood Farm Park— includes $147,400 in Year 1 (FY 2014 -15) for amenities such 47 as trail construction, parking, restrooms, dock, signage, disc golf, and security cameras.
