The proceiss of rer_eiving and dispatching calls for service is based on a Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) system. It is the backbone of The Emergency Communications Center. This
system was installed in 1989 and is currently running with outdated operating system
software and, in compuCer system language, it has 'matured'. The manufacturer will no
Longer support the system. We are exploring a complete upgrade however the capaci.ty of the
system's harddrive has produced several system failures and complications. This request will
provide an i.nterim fix to add harddrive capabilities unril a long range upgrade is acquired.
The syscem is .:designed to retai.n CAD data for 90 days and sti.11 allow di5csp�ceto process that data. Because we
were forced to e�and thi_s system, both in physical tenninal locations and also increased operating system
functions, we can currently store 45 days of. data and are�now e.�cperiencing operating perfoxmance deterioration.
Additionatly, RAM m�,nory has been impacted because of these system additions, and the harddrive must be utilized
more frequently to operate the entire system.
This i.nterem upgrade will provide relief fran these identified problems until a major upgrade is acquired.
