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