is satisfied with the software system, as well as the annual upgrades and support <br />provided by Sun Ridge. Redwood City Police Department personnel are also satisfied <br />with the product and support provided by Sun Ridge and have no plans to deviate from <br />the use of the system for the foreseeable future. <br />The original agreement for services between Sun Ridge and the City was previously <br />approved by City Council on May 21, 2007. Lately, the annual service and maintenance <br />invoices have exceeded earlier amounts. As such, Police Department staff has sought <br />City Council approval for payment. On January 25, 2016, City Council authorized the <br />City Manager to pay the annual RIMS service and maintenance invoice from February <br />8, 2015 to February 7, 2016, in the amount of $70,959. <br />Thereafter, Staff received an invoice covering the term from February 8, 2016 to <br />February 7, 2017, totaling $72,761. As a result, Staff seeks City Council authorization of <br />payment for the current annual service and maintenance invoice. This will ensure <br />continued functionality and support of this vital system. <br />Police Department personnel are currently coordinating with other City departments and <br />Sun Ridge to craft a multi-year service agreement to collectively address software <br />upgrades, maintenance and service beyond February 2017. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />City Council could choose to not approve the payment of the Sun Ridge’s annual service <br />agreement invoice. However, this would negatively impact the Police Department’s <br />ability to use this service and severely hinder police operations. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funding of the $72,761 service invoice already exists within the Central Dispatching <br />Services budget. Approval of this expenditure will have no increase or fiscal impact to <br />the City, other than that which was previously anticipated, and for which funds were <br />budgeted. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in the CEQA Guidelines, section <br />15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical <br />change in the environment. <br /> <br />ASHLEY OSBORNE <br />PATROL LIEUTENANT <br />6.1.D. - Page 2
