Palumbo AC /12) <br />Assistant County Attorney <br />DATE: 30 November 1998 <br />RE: Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Central Records Project <br />As you know, the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council has been working with your <br />police department and all other departments in the county to provide a common records system for <br />all police departments in the county. This project has enormous benefits for all departments in terms <br />of costs, efficiency, and effectiveness of such a system. The system would also forward the required <br />police reports to the State of Minnesota as required by law. The County has allocated up to <br />$400,000, on a matching basis with all the interested cities, toward funding the legal and financing <br />(capital) costs for the purchase of the computer hardware and software. <br />The County will consider issuing capital notes on December 15 as a 1998 issue for up to <br />$L23 million to fund this records project. The current interest rate is about 4.2 %. However, before <br />the County proceeds with the purchase of the hardware and software, it needs action from the cities <br />to make the financial commitment to the records project and to commit to repay any computer <br />hardware purchases made through this financing. <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
