Recommendation for Resolution;

System for Commission Approval
For City Commission Meeting

(1)
It is recommended that the attached
Resolution reaardinq a fundinq aift
from the Federal Emergency Manage- m
ment Agency to implement, as part of w
a National Project, an Arson Informa-
tion Management Svstem be approved. ^'

i;:
The funding totals $7,000 to be used as seed money to pua
chase the necessary equipment for the system (AIMS). AI95
is computer based and designed to collect, organize and —
analyze data in order to generate information to improve
the effectiveness of the arson prevention and control
decision making process. It is an analytical and public
management tool. Miami is one of six other cities selec-
ted for this project. The $7,000 can be used as needed for
the AIMS project. The Miami Fire Department has, thus far,
spent all the funds for the following:
1. Equipment (TRS-80 Model #2, Micro -computer; cost $5,666
2. Software and Supplies;
cost $1,334
TOTAL $7,000
We have also received administrative and technical assistance
to make the system fully operational. There is no charge to
the City for those services. Any and all equipment purchased
with said funds becomes the property of the City of Miami.
The project allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and the International Association of Arson Investigators to
test the system and develop a national data base from which
future efforts to combat arson can be developed.
It is requested that this Resolution be scheduled on the City
Commission meeting of April 6, 1983.
