Maas, Chief of Police <br />~fichaell\. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />October 16, 2008 <br /> <br />Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for the purchase / replacement of a <br />failing data back-up system in the police department in the amount of $9,556.08 <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial Federal (DOJ) <br />Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of investigative <br />participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be spent for the <br />purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement activities. I t is requested that we be <br />permitted to utilize $9,556.0.8 of said funds on deposit for such purpose, <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The police department utilizes a tape backup system to backup all police records, ten (10) virtual <br />servers and our e-mail database. The current system is constantly failing due to its age and is posing <br />a risk of not having the ability to restore data in the event of data loss or compromised. <br /> <br />With the purchase of the below listed equipment, the current failing system will be replaced with a <br />newer and more reliable system. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity narcotics <br />investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the enhancement of law enforcement. All of <br />the below listed items are authorized expenditures and are designed towards charitable and crime <br /> <br /> <br />Funding ,wailable: <br /> <br />I :inane" I )"partm"nt <br /> <br /> <br />Agenda I rem No,: <br /> <br />To be com leted bv Ciw Clerk~,' Office <br /> <br />\0 A <br />ID- Il.c,-O~ <br /> <br />Commission !,-Ieering naIL': <br />
