$94,860.00 from Insight Video.
• First year's hardware support from Insight Video at
approximately $9,486.00; subsequent years will be
appropriated on the City's budget.
• Brackets and installation of the units at an approximately
$6,596.00 from Southbay Regional Communications.
• Six (6) cameras and installation for patrol units at
approximately $5,250.00 each from Mobile Vision.
This has been reviewed by the City Attorney and it is hereby

Re: Use of COPS Grant Funds
In October 2001, the City of Vernon received $100,000.00 through the State's Citizen Options for
Public Safety fund, provided by Senate Bill 823. The intent of the legislature is allocating these funds
was to provide for, among other things, frontline law enforcementservices and the implementation of a
comprehensive multi -agency juvenile justice plan. These funds must be expended by June 30, 2003.
At the City of Vernon Council Meeting on August 27, 2002, the City Council approved the use of the
funds for the purchase of a new command vehicle, tactical response equipment and wireless video
equipment. Since that time, we have submitted for the purchase of the tactical response equipment and
other equipment used by the officers in our briefing room. Remaining funds set aside for the purchase
of the new command vehicle and the wireless video equipment have not yet been dedicated or
expended.
In October 2002, the City of Vernon received another $100,000.00 through the State's Citizen Options
for Public Safety fund. Again, these funds have been allocated to provide support for frontline law
enforcement services. These funds must be expended by June 30, 2004.
The Police Department is requesting that the unspent Citizens Options for Public Safety (COPS) funds
received on October 2001 and a portion of the COPS funds received in October, 2002, be used to
purchase Mobil Data Terminals as outlined in the attached memorandum dated March 26, 2003.
The balance of the COPS funds received in October 2001 is estimated to be $45,822.52. Combined
with the $100,000.00 received in October 2002, we have approximately $145,822.52 available for the
proposed purchase of the new Mobile Data Terminals. The estimated purchase price for the Mobile
Data Terminals is $110, 942.00. This would leave a balance of $34, 880.52 in COPS funds. J
The Police Department is recommending that these remaining funds be used to purchase additional
Mobile Vision cameras for the patrol units that do not currently have the cameras installed. The
estimated cost of each installed camera is approximately $5250.00.

Re: COPS Grant Funds
I am sending you this memo regarding the proposed use of the State's Citizen Options for Public Safety
(COPS) funds. The City of Vernon, through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund,
received COPS funds in the amount of $100,000.00 in October 2002. These funds must be spent
before June 30, 2004.
Before spending the funds, a public hearing is required. According to information received from the
Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversite Committee, a public hearing, for the purposes of this grant,
can mean a staff report to City Councitautlining what the funding wW be spent on and then put on
the Council agenda under Public Hearings. It can go as a consent item and if no one pulls it off the
agenda, we have complied with the legislative intent. I would like to have the public hearing held as
soon a practical

Memo
To: Chief Olson

Date: 3/26/2003
Re: Request for Grant Funds
Introduction
This report requests the purchase of 17 Mobile Data Terminals from Insight Technologies for
the Police Department in the amount of $110,942.00. I respectfully request to use COPS 0002
f
and 0003 grant money for this purchase.
Background
In 1999, we purchased ,Motorola MW-520 mobile data terminals for our police units.
Exhaustive research was done at the time and we found that the MW-520's were the best
available computer at the time. Over the course of time the programs we use for paperless
reporting and for running queries, receiving calls and accessing our intranet site have become
more sophisticated. Unfortunately, though, the MW-520 has not been able keep up with these
enhancements,
For example, we recently went through a software upgrade of our Visionair Mobile and
Paperless software. Upon installing the software on our current Motorola MW-520 Mobile
Data Terminals we found that the software requires more resources than these computers can
accommodate. Both pieces of software require a minimum800x600 resolution, however, the
Motorola MW-520 only offers a resolution of 640x480, which results in a distorted viewing
area when either of these applications are run. The MW-520 cannot be upgraded with a video
card with a higher resolution. In addition, the Visionair Mobile software and Paperless
software requires more RAM in order for it to run efficiently. Since the Motorola MW-520
only has 128MB RAM, it has a difficult time running either pieces of software efficiently, not
to mention how sluggish it becomes when programs run simultaneously. As with the video
card, the MW-520 cannot be upgraded to a higher RAM. All of the officers I have spoken with
have voiced their irritation with how slow the computers have become and wanting to know if
we plan to upgrade them.
1_
Discussion
To replace the existing Motorola MW-520 with a more robust mobile data terminal, I
recommend the purchase of three UltraSlim Tablet PC's (VTR-7300). The UltraSlim
Tablet PC's is an all -in -one Intel Pentium -based, computer system with a flat -panel,
monitor. The color, 1000 NIT touch -screen display offers superb readability in full
sunlight and can be adjusted for nighttime viewing. Moreover, because the UltraSlim
Tablet PC's is an all -in -one system, it can be detached from the unit's mounting bracket
and worked on at a convenient location. The UltraSlim Tablet PC comes with a self-
contained backlit keyboard with touch -pad. The keys on the keypad are illuminated from
under the keys to allow for ease of use during nighttime hours. The computer comes with
a 20 GB hard -drive and 256 MB expandable memory. < The UltraSlim Tablet PC also
allows for future add-ons such as an Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system and a
Wireless Local Area network (LAN) connection.
Each UltraSlim Tablet PC includes a 500 MHZ Intel Processor, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB
hard drive, Microsoft Windows 2000 software, color touch -screen, and a backlit keyboard
with touch -pad. Each unit costs approximately $5,580.00.
Vendors
The vendor for this mobile data terminal is Insight Video, 10134 Oh Street, Suite M, Rancho
Cucamonga, CA. 91730. Their phone number is (909) 373-1800. ` As mentioned earlier, each
unit costs $5,580.00 bringing the total expenditure cost for 17 terminals to $94,860. The sales
representative for Insight Video is Robert Carreon. Mr. Carreo wn a ab ebT t p ovide me a
reference from Fresno Police Department who is currently using the UltraSlim Tablet PC.
There is a reoccurring annual cost for 8-hour support and repair in the amount of 486.00:
The first year support will be requested using the grant money, each subsequent year, thereafter,
will be submitted for on the annual City bude
The mounting of each mobile data terminal will take place at Southbay Regional
Communications (310) 352-5966. The cost of the bracket will be $200.00 per MDT and
installation will be $188.00 per unit bringing the total mounting cost to $388.00 per unit.
References
I spoke to the in-house computer technician for Fresno Police Department, Jim Lutter. He ,
told me that the Fire Department has finished testing the UltraSlim Tablet PC and they have
been very pleased with the computer. Mr. Lutter told me that the unit they tested was very fast
and robust. The screen is very bright and is easily viewable during daylight hours. Mr. Lutter
told me that the as a result of the positive response the Fire Department has decided to
purchase 20 terminals for their fire units.
