BACKGROUND:
During the previous fiscal year, the Ocala Police Department invested in essential software from Priority Dispatch to enhance operations during the construction of the communications center. The dispatch center utilizes this software to ensure proper standards are met. Due to the timing of the purchase and the subsequent fiscal year rollover, a portion of the budget allocated for this purpose was not carried forward. While the additional licenses and installation of the Priority Dispatch software have been implemented, we must meet financial obligations to the vendor. To maintain our financial commitments, we seek to transfer funds from the reserve account to cover the outstanding amount.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The transfer of funds from the Reserve for Fund Balance account to the Software-Subscription Based (SBITA) account will be used to settle the outstanding software purchase.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The transfer of funds from 120-099-999-521-81-99999, the Reserve for Fund Balance account, to 120-018-835-521-52-52045, the Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangement (SBITA) account, will be used to settle the outstanding balance on the software purchase.
