r�N <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 15, 1996 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />APPROVAL: Mali Freeman, rim City Manager <br />FROM: <br />. am <br />Community De lopme Director <br />SUBJECT: Approval of an Amendment to The Budget for Fiscal Year 199r3-97 <br />and Allow for the Purchase of Seven New Personal Computers. <br />DATA E: October 7, 1996 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City's use of a computer system has increased so dramatically that the existing main frame <br />(H.P. 3000) can no longer support those needs. Therefore, the City purchased a H. P. 9000 to <br />serve as the computer system main frame. The H.P. 9000 utilizes a different language than the <br />H. P. 3000 and requires new operating software. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />After extensive testing by the City's Information Services Department and the staff of Hewlett <br />Packard, it has been determined that the five existing monitors currently in use by the <br />Community Development Department will no longer function once the existing H.P. 3000 is <br />disconnected and the new H.P. 9000 is on line. The Business License Division and the other <br />Divisions within Community Development provide services to the public via the monitors listed <br />above. Therefore, once the transition from the H.P. 3000 to the H.P. 9000 is completed, both <br />the Business License Division and the Community Development Department as a whole will no <br />longer be on line. <br />The Business License Division's existing software language is not compatible with the new H.P. <br />9000 hardware, and Council approved Municipal Resource Consultants to provide the new <br />Business License Software System. To complete the transition from the H.P. 3000 to the new <br />H.P. 9000, it has been determined that seven new personal computers will be required by the <br />Business License Division and the Community Development Department. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />The Business License Division has submitted a claim for reimbursement to the State of <br />California for Fiscal Year 1995/96, pursuant to Senate Bill 90. Attached are copies of the <br />documents submitted by the Business License Division for S.B. 90 reimbursement. The <br />proposed amendment in the amount of $42,000 (increased revenues and expenses) to the <br />curre dget will nqi a)fect existing funds, revenues, or cash reserves from the City's General <br />Fu <br />Community Devel4pmegt birector <br />Item 3 <br />
