COUNCIL MEETING DATE:

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $8,352.00 FOR THE
PURCHASE OF ENTERPRISE SITE LICENSING FOR THE ONESOLUTION
COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH (CAD) SYSTEM AND MESSAGE SWITCH USED BY
POLICE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL
SUMMARY:
The City of Pueblo 911 Communications’ Center serves as the sole Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) for the City of Pueblo and its citizens. The purchase of enterprise site licensing for ONESolution
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Message Switch will improve access to systems for the Pueblo
Police Department in a more cost-effective manner.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Previous purchases from the E911 Telephone Charge Fund reserves have been approved.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo 911 Communications’ Center uses Superion’s ONESolution Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) system to handle the dispatch process for public safety personnel who are responsible
for responding to citizens’ calls. Currently, the City is required to purchase software licenses for each
user of the system. The number of licenses the City currently needs to purchase exceeds the cost of
switching the City of Pueblo from a user-license to a site-license. A site-license will allow the City to
add licenses as it needs, without additional purchases. Purchase of enterprise site-licensing and
Message Switch will be more cost effective for the City, while allowing more law enforcement personnel
to have access to CAD and the data maintained in CAD.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The sum of $8,352.00 shall be appropriated from the E911 Emergency Telephone Charge Fund
Reserves.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
There is no stakeholder process required for these purchases.
ALTERNATIVES:
Decline the purchase of enterprise site-licensing for the CAD System and Message Switch leading to
the purchase of individual licenses at a higher cost.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
