GENERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (pages 59 -57) Accounting & Administration Computer Hardware /Software Upgrades Staff is currently reviewing the purchase of three new computers. This is consistent with past practice of replacing two to three aged machines per year with an average life of approximately five years. Staff is also revisiting the possibility of entering a joint powers agreement with Roseville to provide IT services. If this avenue is pursued, it may impact the type of equipment being purchased. It is also our goal to get the Public Works Garage and Parks Maintenance Garage set up with a computer. This will allow for direct access to appointment calendars, work order system, e -mail, and fax services.

Fire Department Turn -Out Gear $7,178 represents the approximate annual cost of on -going replacement of firefighter boots, helmets, coats, pants, etc. Building Repairs The building is aging to the point where various replacement and maintenance needs to be addressed (carpeting, brick/mortar sealing). Radios /800 mhz New Countywide radio system is expected to be in place in 2005, requiring replacement of all current radios. Approximate total cost is $100,000.
