HomeMy WebLinkAbout3215_001In 1980, there were two competing interests vying for
limited grant funds. The first was an association of
northern suburban communities extending roughly from
Skokie on the south to Winnetka on the north. This
would have established a ready-made Police information
program limited to the service of their 14 communities.
A second interest developed under the sponsorship of
the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission which would
establish a Police management information system that
would have the eventual capacity of providing service
to 40 suburban communities. This latter program approached
the Village of Mount Prospect as one of the three
demonstration communities and we were chosen because of
our size, location, and involvement with Central Dispatch.
At that time, it was proposed to us that the Law Enforce-
ment Commission through its grant would provide all
equipment, development, and one year operational costs
at no expense to the Village of Mount Prospect. Subsequent
annual operating costs were projected at $13,000 a
year, however, with the elimination of one of our existing
systems, the net cost would be approximately $7,000 per,
year. Based upon that information, I authorized the
Police Department to proceed with the initial developme°
stages and to continue working with the Illinois Law Vn=
Enforcement Commission, We were also successful in
securing the necessary grant funding to cover the
demonstration project.
The Illinois Law Enforcement Commission has now developed
financial cost estimates and offered a contract to the
municipality, however, that contract now includes a
000 a month participation cost and this participation
cost exceeds our earlier estimates. Therefore, our
total exposure for operational costs in the future
could be as high as $23,000. If we are able to eliminate
our current CRT, we couldreducethat $23,000 figure to
$16,500. Additionally, if the ',00k County Board agrees
to allow us to utilize their telephone line concession,
we could have a further reduction to approximately
$11,000. We are recommending that we continue to work
with this program and if the Board concurs, the contract ought
to be scheduled for a subsequent Village Board meeting
for formal action.
