of Mounds View Staff <br />10 <br />Meeting Date: December 2, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Work Session <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police <br />Item Title/Subject: Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile Data <br />Agreement with Ramsey County <br />Computer Aided Dispatch or CAD as it is commonly referred to is a combination of the <br />hardware, software and services the Ramsey County Communications Center utilizes to <br />provide dispatching and communications service to individual cities within Ramsey <br />County, which does include the City of Mounds View. <br />The existing CAD system has become outdated and unable to provide the growing <br />technological needs of Ramsey County and required services for all participating <br />agencies. Therefore, Ramsey County has selected a vendor, TriTech Systems, to <br />provide a new CAD system to be implemented in 2015. As a result, the CAD and <br />Mobile Data agreement is being submitted for the approval of all participating Ramsey <br />County cities. <br />The costs of the CAD system are currently incorporated into the fee provided to each <br />city for the overall dispatching services. This fee for the upcoming 2014 year is set at <br />$100,915.33. The fee is based on a city's number of calls for service initiated by a 9-1-1 <br />call. In addition, the overall expense for the dispatch services as well as the CAD costs <br />is allocated using a 60/40 cost split, with 60% coming from St Paul and the remaining <br />40% split among the agencies in Ramsey County. <br />The director of Emergency Communications for Ramsey County is Scott Williams and <br />he has been invited to address any further questions from the council. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />�J <br />r <br />Thomas Kinneyl i <br />Chief of Police <br />
