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.
