BACKGROUND:
In Fiscal Year 1983-84, the Department of Computers began the
conversion and enhancement of all Police systems from the DEC
Microcomputers to the Burroughs B-7900 and a Resolution No. 83-795
was issued to cover these purchases. Police Department Capital
Improvement Funds for the conversion and enhancement were provided in
a joint effort to upgrade microcomputers to state-of-the-art
equipment to meet the City's needs for many years.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
With the acquisition of the Burroughs B-7900 computers, terminals and
microcomputers were introduced to the Police Department to maintain
systems to perform tasks which had previously been performed
manually. With the recurrent demands for more and more data
manipulation for management analysis, on-line F.A.M.I.S. financial
systems and personnel systems, office automation, data management,
spreadsheet applications, as well as emergency systems, there is a
more fervent demand for microcomputer equipment to assist with the
handling of an ever increasing workload.
The Miami Police Department developed an Eleven -Point Plan which
called for the reorganization and restructuring of the Police
Department with emphasis on efficiency, improved productivity and
services. In order to complete the full implementation of this plan,
it is necessary to purchase additional microcomputers and peripheral
equipment to assist with the development and monitoring of the
Policing -By -Objectives Project.
The Police Department, in conjunction with the Department of
Computers, has analyzed the additional microcomputer needs to provide
the most efficient configuration of the existing equipment which will
be supported by the additional microcomputers and peripheral
equipment and has developed a Police Department -wide Microcomputer
Plan. The Department -wide Microcomputer Plan will enhance the
Department's ability to access the most current mainframe computer
files for up-to-date management reporting.
Concurrently, in Fiscal Yea: 190-3-94. the Department of Computers
began the conversion and enhancement of all systems in the Department
of Fire, Rescue and Inspection Services from the Burroughs B-6800 to
the Burroughs B-7900. Fire Department Capital Improvement Funds for
the conversion and enhancement were provided in a joint effort to
upgrade microcomputers to state-of-the-art equipment to meet the
City's needs for many years.
With the acquisition of the Burroughs B-7900 computers, terminals and
microcomputers were introduced to the Fire Department to maintain
systems to perform tasks which had previously been performed
manually. With the recurrent demands for more and more data
manipulation for management analysis, on-line F.A.M.I.S. financial
systems, and personnel systems, office automation, data management,
spreadsheet applications, as well as emergency systems, there is a
demand for more microcomputer equipment to assist with the handling
of an ever increasing workload.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
The Miami Fire Department developed a Computer Aided Dispatch System
which called for the implementation of a Management Information
System which would assist departmental administrators in decision
making concerning Fire Safety, Finances and Training. In order to
complete the full implementation of this plan, it is necessary to
purchase additional microcomputers and peripheral equipment to assist
with the development and monitoring of the Management Information
Systems Project.
The Fire Department, in conjunction with the Department of Computers,
has analyzed the additional microcomputer needs to provide the most
efficient configuration of the existing equipment which will be
supported by the additional microcomputers and peripheral equipment
and has developed a Fire Department -wide Microcomputer Plan. The
Department -wide Microcomputer Plan will enhance the Department's
ability to gain access to the most current Mainframe Computer files
and assist management in decision making.
Subsequently, the Miami Planning Department, based on an internal
survey and the increasing workload created by the state new planning
legislation, currently needs to add and expand the capacity to its
current equipment for word processing and microcomputers. It
additionally requires the need to add the capability to utilize IBM -
compatible software now being developed by and for planners
nationwide.
It is therefore, respectfully recommended that the City Commission
adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of additional
microcomputers and peripheral equipment from Unisys Corporation. The
sources of funding will be as follows: Police Department's Capital
Improvement, Project Number 312014, index code 299401-840; Fire
Department's Capital Improvement, Project Number 313212, index codes
289401-840 and 880; Planning Department FY'88, General Fund index
code 380101-880 and Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan accounts
110039-380245 and 125001-380246.
