3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

            1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Budget Transfer of $400,000 from the State Attorney’s Court Information Technology operating budget to the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) capital project;

 

B) Budget Amendment of $400,000 in the Court Information Technology Capital Fund – CJIS Project to recognize the transfer from the State Attorney as reimbursement for previously expended Ad Valorem dollars and appropriate the reimbursed funds to be transferred to the Public Building Improvement Fund; and

 

C) Budget Amendment of $400,000 in the Public Improvement Fund to recognize the transfer and appropriate it to the State Attorney’s 2nd Floor Shell Build-out project.

 

Summary:  The State Attorney has requested a build-out of the 2nd floor shell to accommodate additional computer equipment and the need for a cooler environment for the equipment.  Facilities’ has estimated the cost to complete the project at $400,000, but does not have the budget.  The State Attorney would like to use $400,000 of their court technology budget to fund the project, but this type project is not eligible to be funded with $2 Court Information Technology funds.  However, the $2 funds can be used to reimburse the County for Ad Valorem funding previously expended on eligible court technology costs.  To that end, the $400,000 is being transferred to the Court Information Technology Capital fund where the Ad Valorem was expended and then to the 2nd Floor Build-out Project in the Building Improvement Fund.  Countywide  (PFK)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the First Amendment to the Contract for Consulting/Professional Services dated January 10, 2006 (R2006-0119) with Kathleen Owens relating to a fire rescue minimum level of service and emergency communications. This Amendment extends the agreement for twelve (12) months until December 31, 2008 and increases the hourly rate by 5%, for a not-to-exceed amount of $ 8,593.50 for Consultant’s fees and $600 for expenses, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $9,193.50 for the extension period.  SUMMARY:  In 2006, Ms. Kathleen Owens was retained by the Board to provide assistance to the Fire Rescue Level of Service Committee.  The original contract’s term was for a two (2) year period, expiring December 31, 2007, with a not-to-exceed amount of $18,960.  This Amendment will increase the consultant’s hourly rate by 5%; however, the total contract not-to-exceed amount of $18,960 will remain the same, including the extension period.  While the Fire Rescue Level of Service Committee has made significant progress, there are still several tasks that have not yet been completed.  Key among these issues is the development of a response time methodology and standard for the entire region by October 2009.  The Fire Rescue Level of Service Committee is recommending Ms. Owens’ contract be extended until December 31, 2008 to assist with the finalization of these final important tasks.  Countywide  (SB)

SUMMARY: On December 21, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the program guidelines for the Neighborhood Street Lighting Program (NSLP).  Since that time, program goals and other requirements have necessitated various changes to the NSLP guidelines.  The main changes being made to the NSLP include extending the maintenance period for requests received by Homeowner Associations (HOA) within Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) neighborhoods from 10 to 20 years as provided to non-HOA applicants, and revising program guidelines to make the replacement and/or repair of existing lights eligible for NSLP funds. The Office of Community Revitalization (OCR) revised the NSLP guidelines and presented them to the CCRT Committee, who recommended approval on November 13, 2007.  If these changes are approved by the BCC, the new guidelines will be applied to future applications.  Countywide  (AH)
