Budget
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The Lino Lakes Police Department has received a $5,000 donation from the Eagle Brook
Church to purchase two tablet computers.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department has been engaged in a technology upgrade initiative transitioning to all
tablet computers in the patrol division of the department. This initiative is on-going and started
in 2012.
With a $5,000 donation from Eagle Brook Church and funds approved in the 2014 adopted
budge all tablets will be purchased by the end of 2014. The new tablets will replace all laptops
located in patrol vehicles as well as all desktop computers in the patrol cubicles in the police
station.
The completion of this initiative will:
1. reduce the police department's hardware footprint on the City's network;
2. ensure that all hardware is compliant with all known future state and federal mandates
for data security;
3. prepare the department for the impending rollover to the new Anoka County Public
Safety Data System scheduled to begin in the fall of 2014;
4. enable officers to perform computer related tasks from either their patrol vehicles or
station desks.
In order to properly document the donation and the additional expense of two tablet computers,
the 2014 Adopted Budget will need to be amended by increasing revenue and expenditures for
the police department by $5,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 14-30, accepting a donation of $5,000 from
Eagle Brook Church and amending the 2014 Adopted Budget.
