TO: <br />City of Tukwila <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />Mayor Ekberg <br />Finance Committee <br />FROM: Joseph Todd Director of Technology Information Services <br />Martin F. Grisham Emergency Manager <br />DATE: November 9, 2017 <br />SUBJECT: Capital Purchase for Committee Approval <br />ISSUE <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />Seeking approval for a capital expenditure of technology equipment in the Emergency <br />Operations Center (EOC) at Fire Station 51. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The EOC needed a control center for all of the technology equipment. In May 2017, <br />Technology Information Services (TIS) and Emergency Management (EM) partnered to install <br />the technology updates. <br />At the time, we did not secure approval for a "capital expenditure" because none of the <br />individual pieces of this work were over $5000. It was later determined by Finance staff that the <br />process for capital purchases should be followed. While the purchases have been made, we <br />are coming before the Committee to acquire the necessary approvals to ensure the greatest <br />adherence to the City's process. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The total cost for the equipment is $13,933.64 and was paid for out of Fire operational budgets. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Per City Policy, unbudgeted capital items over $5,000 require approval by the designated <br />Council Committee. The Finance Committee is being asked to approve the capital expenditure <br />of $13,933.64 for the Fire Department EOC technology equipment. <br />1 <br />
