The Building Inspections Division proposes the purchase of nine (9) mobile field grade <br />computers with integrated GPS, printers, and associated docking devices. Office personal <br />computers would no longer be necessary for the Inspectors and would be returned to the <br />County information technology equipment inventory for redeployment. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for hardware and associated equipment for this <br />undertaking would be approximately $50,000. Funding for this project would be included in the <br />Manager's Recommended 2006-16 Capital Investment Plan, tentatively scheduled for <br />presentation to the Board in April 2006. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1) receive the report as information; <br />2) direct the Manager and staff and in concert with Commissioner Halkiotis to conduct <br />further assessment of this project (to integrate it with similar initiatives in other <br />departments to ensure compatibility of software and efficiencies in data capture and <br />creation of a shared database); and <br />3) direct the Manager to incorporate funding within the Information Technology project of <br />the 2006-16 Capital Investment Plan for the best way to implement this undertaking. <br />
