PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On November 11, 2019, City Council approved by Ordinance No. 9598 the Annual Budget for the fiscal year 2020. Within that budget, $250,000.00 of Public Safety Sales Tax funds were allocated for the Police Department’s purchase of a timekeeping system. BACKGROUND: Technology is and continues to be an essential part of law enforcement in order to meet the challenges of everyday policing. As technology advances occur, the Pueblo Police Department needs the ability to acquire additional technology, computer equipment, network hardware, and software to make use of these advances. Transfer of the unused $150,000.00 previously earmarked for the Kronos timekeeping system (within Project #PST2004) and the reallocation of these funds for additional technology purchases would address these needs. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No additional financial implications will be incurred by the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not Applicable. ALTERNATIVES: City Council can choose to deny passage of the Ordinance, leaving the currently unused funds within Project #PST2004. RECOMMENDATION: Passage of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: None
