RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5034 to authorize new revenue in the amount of $63,600 in the Emergency Services Division (0362) from health inspection fees and appropriate it for the consolidation of servers used by the Community Warning System.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue and appropriations by $63,600.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Community Warning System consists of 25 separate and linked control centers, monitoring systems, communication systems, and automated links to radio and television stations serving the community. The system includes 40 sirens, over 700 alerting devices, and several servers. This funding will allow the Sheriff's Emergency Services Division to upgrade and consolidate existing servers with two virtualized servers in the Community Warning System network. In addition, appropriations will be made for related upgrades to Community Warning System control hardware and software.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Community Warning System is funded by 100% by Business Plan Fees collected by the Health Services Department from companies within the County that handle hazardous materials.
