            The 2022-23 Proposed Budget for the Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure Program (CTIEP) is as
            follows:

                                  General            Special            Total                             Total

          2021-22 Budget

          Percent Change              (86.9%)            51.1%            (79.7%)          43.1%          (71.9 %)


            On May 3, 2020,  the  City  Council and  Mayor adopted a revision  to the City’s  Financial Policies,  which  added
            technology infrastructure as a component of the City’s Capital and Technology Improvement Policy, formerly the
            Capital Improvement Policy (C.F. 19-1353). Unlike Municipal Facilities, Physical Plant, and Clean Water projects,
            which are budgeted centrally, technology projects are budgeted within the individual department that administers
            the project and are summarized herein.

            To  be  included  within  the  Technology  CTIEP  a  technology  project  must  represent  a  significant  investment  in
            technology infrastructure, including major technology systems. Unlike the other components of the CTIEP, which
            represent  physical  and  tangible  infrastructure  such  as  sewer  systems,  buildings,  and  streets,  technology
            infrastructure is not necessarily physical. Physical technology projects such as the replacement or installation of
            radio towers, network equipment, and fiber optic infrastructure are included in the Technology CTIEP. Technology
            CTIEP projects can also include the upgrade, replacement, or new implementation of systems, for which significant
            investments are in software or cloud-hosted applications that do not always have a physical component. Typically,
            a technology project must have a total estimated cost of $1 million to be included in the Technology CTIEP unless
            the  project  is  determined  to  have  a  significant  Citywide  impact.  Expenditures  for  routine  maintenance  and  the
            replacement of personal computer equipment are not eligible for inclusion in the Technology CTIEP.

            Significant technology projects budgeted in the 2022-23 CTIEP include:

             • Funding  of  $3.6  million  for  the  replacement  of  the  Department  of  Building  and  Safety’s  Code  Enforcement
               Inspection System;

             • Funding of $4.0 million, which represents the third year of funding for the estimated total $18.7 million project,
               for the upgrade of the Fire Department’s radio system and replacement of all of the dispatch consoles at the
               primary and backup dispatch centers; and,
             • Funding of $2.2 million for the replacement of obsolete network routers and switches that are part of the network
               infrastructure that provides internet access and supports the operations of various City departments.

            All items are funded by the General Fund unless otherwise noted in the descriptions on the following pages.
