AGENDA ITEM 3A
Staff Originator: Al Rolek
Date: December 17, 2001
Topic:
Re -designation of Antenna Lease Revenues for Software
Licensing
Vote Required: Simple Majority
In May, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution No. 00-66 designating
antenna lease revenue for a number of purposes. One of the designations was
for computer software licensing in the amount of $16,000. Since that time, staff
has completed a comprehensive software inventory for all departments. The
result of the inventory shows that our software licensing needs are greater than
originally anticipated. The total costs to upgrade existing licenses and to acquire
the total number of licenses needed at this time is about $36,000. This leaves a
significant shortfall in funding for this purpose.
Other items identified in Resolution No. 00-66 have been completed at significant
savings. Still other items that had been funded are no longer necessary. The
resulting balance from these savings is $20,995. This amount is sufficient to
cover the shortfall in funding for the city's computer software licensing needs.
The licensing issue is an important one, and needs to be addressed to bring the
city into compliance with licensing requirements. Although the cost is relatively
high, it is necessary for the city to complete to come into compliance.
Therefore, staff recommends that the savings realized from the other items
designated in Resolution No. 00-66 be re -designated toward computer software
licensing. The total designation, including the amount designated for this
purpose previously, would be $36,000.
