This proposed budget provides funding to strengthen the protection of the City’s information
system and improve public safety communications, including funding for cybersecurity

fortification resources for the City’s personnel, financial, and public safety data and systems as
well as software licenses and additional data storage for disaster recovery.

Funding is also provided to make City operations more efficient, including the implementation of
Year Two of the citywide centralized human resources and payroll solution that will replace the
20-year old PaySR payroll application as well as to address critical technological resources for
the Metropolitan and Valley 9-1-1 Dispatch Centers that will improve quality of service and
continue site improvements, upgrade the existing microwave network, and build new, robust
radio systems for the Police and Fire departments.

Additional funding is also provided to expand the City’s mass notification system, NotifyLA,
which alerts residents of disaster situations especially those requiring evacuations, movement
to shelters, or instructions to shelter-in-place.
