Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None. The Sheriff's Civil Equipment Special Revenue Fund #7724309 has funding available for this purchase.
Reason for Recommendation: The purchase of three laptops will allow sworn staff working in the field to access the Civil Administration system (CAS) from remote locations. The computers will be loaded with all applicable civil forms and will communicate with the Civil Administration System (CAS). The use of remote computers will allow for more timely logging of civil services, provide efficiency and enhance the performance of staff working in the field.
The purchase of six GPS units (5 on west slope, 1 in Tahoe) for the Civil division will be helpful in locating the many addresses that civil staff access on a daily basis to serve civil processes throughout the County. It is anticipated that the units will save time and mileage by allowing staff to accurately plan for multiple services.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The chair will sign the Budget Transfer Request and the Auditor will post it. The Sheriff's staff will work with Procurements & Contracts to secure the equipment and software.
