<br />9 <br /> <br />FUNDING <br /> <br />. Currently have $50,000 available this year to start the project. <br />$25,000 from bar coding, $13,337 in a maintenance contract <br />that would have been paid to Visionaire and approximately <br />$15,000 in IT management funding that is available. The IT <br />costs were going to be used to upgrade our current RMS server- <br />which is running low on space. <br />· We have the ability to lease. With $50,000 down, we can spread <br />the system costs out over 5-7 years, making the system not only <br />affordable, but also less impact on a single year's budget. <br />· The department has paid over $77,000 in annual maintenance <br />costs thus far to Visionaire. We don't feel that are return on that <br />investment has been very rewarding. <br />· The fixed costs for the new system are much lower than what we <br />paid to start our current RMS system in 1999. There is still a <br />150/0 annual maintenance cost for this new project. (The industry <br />standard) <br />. The 10th District Court announced on Thursday August 10, 2006, <br />that they have been awarded funding from the State to <br />implement the MNCIS/Police Department citation interface. That <br />interface is a pilot program utilizing LETG, the software firm that <br />we wish to purchase our new software from. Details of the <br />funding will be made available on Sept. 8th, 2006. It is <br />anticipated that as much as 250/0 of the project costs might be <br />absorbed through this grant. <br />
