RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5064 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $468,500 in the Sheriff's Office (0255) from subscriber fees to the Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) and appropriating it for the purchase of radio and communication equipment for the expansion of the ARIES project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue and appropriations by $468,500, with no change in net county cost. The new revenue is funded through fees collected from subscribing agencies to ARIES.

BACKGROUND:

The Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) is a software application owned by Contra Costa County, and used by the Office of the Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies to manage arrest and parolee data collected from law enforcement agencies. ARIES manages arrest and parole data provided by local law enforcement agencies that is stored on a County Server. ARIES serves more than 8,900 users from over 93 different agencies. The purpose of this purchase is to support multiple projects which ARIES will implement in FY 15/16 and FY 16/17. The projects serve to renew critical infrastructure, enhance system security and expand capacity for growing demand. Dell is the vendor who will supply the equipment to support these projects. Dell has experience partnering with government agencies of all sizes to help deliver IT services that improve delivery and reduce costs. In addition to Dell's reputation among government agencies, Office of the Sheriff - Technical Services has a long history of working with Dell's equipment and infrastructure environment. It would be advantageous for ARIES to leverage the knowledge, skills and experience that the Technical Services staff has accumulated over the years by working with Dell.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will be unable to create appropriations and estimated revenue related to the ARIES project for in recognition of user fee revenue and anticipated expenditures.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
