NCR Contract.- The City Manager recommended approval of a sole source
Computer/Dispatch contract with National Cash Register Company for an
System on-line information system and a computer assisted
dispatch system for the"Police Department, in the
amount of $431,972:.45.. This system is recommended to
provide the latest technology and most efficient
methods of handling complaints and alarms, providing
timely -access to criminal justice files, and to pro-
vide economical access and correlation of information
available. The,proposal-submitted is -an integrated
package:of computer equipment and.computer programs
written,specifically-to operate on.NCR computers, and
will interface with the City's'existing NCR 201 Com-
puter. If another brand of computer were selected,
it would require that the computer.programs be modi-
fied. -•at additional cost. Also, using a different
brand would require an adapter between the computers
to translate computer codes in both directions. An-
other factor..to:be considered in using different
brands of computers would be the requirement to deal
with more than'one vendor. And, finally, if bids
were solicited from other manufacturers, the City
would have to hire an outside.firm.to develop the
detailed specifications required to define the
computer programs, design, and to specify the char-
acteristics of the computers, terminals, and data
communications equipment needed to complete an oper-
ational system.-. For these, reasons, the City -Manager
recommends the NCR proposal. After discussion,'on
motion by Councilman Raciti,.seconded by Vice Mayor
Hammett, the contract was approved as -recommended,

indicated that a cost estimate for.this brochure,
which would be an eight -page document, would be
$7,075.00, which includes printing_, preparation of

costly and possibly.too. lengthy to serve its pur-
pose. Councilman McFarland explored.some ideas for
cutting the.cost.of this document, and expressed his
opinion that the Council should make an effort to
educate the public on this -issue. Councilwoman
Smallwood expressed agreement with. Councilman McFar-
land and also felt that the costcould be reduced
significantly. Councilman,Raciti was concerned
about how the true facts of.the.issue would be
determined. Vice Mayor -Hammett also expressed con-
cerns along these lines and felt that the Council's
position would be -more -appropriately stated in an
argument to justify their actions on this matter,
and made a motion, seconded -by Councilman Raciti,
and carried, Council Members Smallwood and McFarland
voting no, that no factual statement be prepared.
