COUNTY SHERIFF, AND PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION CONCERNING

ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding between
Pueblo County and the City concerning procurement of the CopLink computer software,
services and maintenance, and payment therefor.
The department recommends approval of this ordinance.
BACKGROUND
Numerous police and sheriffs departments throughout Colorado have come together in
a consortium for the purpose of computerized sharing of criminal justice information.
The consortium has been operating for some time, using proprietary "CopLink" software
supplied by Knowledge Computing Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ( "KCC ") in
order to share data among agencies. The City has received a Colorado Justice
Assistance Recovery Grant (JAG ARRA), Grant No. 29- JR- 06 -33 -1 (the "Grant'), for the
purpose of procuring the CopLink software, licenses, certain related services and
software maintenance and support to enable the City and Sheriff to participate in the
consortium. The Grant funding will pay the entire software license and initial service
costs for both agencies, as well as maintenance and support for both entities for the first
year.
The purpose of this MOU is to simply approve and memorialize the understanding
reached between the City and the County whereby they will jointly enter into the
software licensing, services and maintenance and support agreement with KCC, the
initial costs will be paid by City from the Grant proceeds, and that each party will then be
responsible for payment of their respective annual maintenance /support costs for the
CopLink software for each year subsequent to the first year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Under the proposed MOU, the City will apply the Grant proceeds to the initial acquisition
costs for the software, including license fees and services. Thereafter, the City will be
obligated to pay, for annual maintenance and support provided by KCC, the amount of
$7,950 plus $7,245 to the Colorado Information Sharing Consortium (CISC) for 207
officers, for a total annual (second year) maintenance and support cost of $15,195. The
County will be liable for annual (second year) maintenance and support to KCC for
$7,950 plus $1,960 to CISC for 56 officers, for a total annual maintenance and support
cost for County of $9,910. These maintenance and support cost amounts may rise in
subsequent years.
