Finance Committee - 01/20/2021 Page 6
Alderman Klee
Thank you Mr. Mayor. My question actually is right in line with what Alderman O’Brien was asking. | am sorry
Mr. Cinfo, you might not be able to answer this question. But my question is, are we using similar softwares in
both locations, because | don’t know whether or not you can get a bulk deal saying the City is buying this and
so on. And then my second question to this is, this was already in the Budget correct? We are not adding
additional funds to use, your budgeted funds?
Mr. Cinfo
Yeah so in regards to the budgeted funds, it is budgeted every year and we account for a little bit of flex,
because like most software they adjust every year. And to answer your first question, the Fire Department and
the Police Department both had Tri-Tech which was IMC at the time for a number of years. The Fire
Department found it not conducive to what they are trying to do in their area. So recently, | think within the last
year, maybe two now, they moved to a new program.
Alderman Klee
OK thank you. Just one comment. So my understanding is that we are using two different softwares and even
if we were to try to get the two companies, sort to speak, together we would still have competing softwares
again which would be an issue because this one you are saying did not fit their needs or they felt it didn’t fit
their needs, is that correct?
Mr. Cinfo
Correct.
Alderman Klee
OK thank you, Mr. Mayor.
