Introduced by the Law Enforcement and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO CONTRACT WITH VISIONAIR, NOT TO EXCEED $250,000 FOR THE

COUNTY WIDE BOOKING SYSTEM

RESOLUTION #10-355

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office booking system is over twenty years old and has not kept up with technological advances in the area of paperless booking systems; and

WHEREAS,  the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office was awarded from the State of Michigan a JAG grant $250,000 (Resolution # 09-282) to purchase a county wide booking system, working with Police Departments from the City of Lansing, City of East Lansing, Meridian Township and Michigan State University Police; and

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office booking system is different than the Lansing Police Department’s booking system, East Lansing Police’s booking systems, Meridian Township Police’s booking system and Michigan State University Police Department’s booking system, thus causing double, triple and quadruple booking of individuals as they travel between agencies and are lodged in each department’s jail; and

WHEREAS, the above grant would implement a county wide, single booking system for the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office, Lansing Police Department, Meridian Township Police Department, East Lansing Police Department and Michigan State University Police Department, thus ensuring a one time booking process for all individuals arrested in the county and lodged at one of the above police departments, thus eliminating duplicate or more booking processes between agencies; and

WHEREAS, the above police department representatives have all agreed to go with VisionAIR programming, which is the same company used for their individual records keeping software except for the City of Lansing; and

WHEREAS, the cost of this program to Ingham County would not exceed the $250,000 grant funding awarded to the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office; and

WHEREAS, costs over $250,000 would be paid by the City of Lansing through a JAG Grant.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners approves the recommendations from MIS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office, and the participating municipalities and authorizes a contract with VisionAIR, not to exceed $250,000, with the project to be completed by December 31, 2012.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes subcontracts with the City of Lansing, City of East Lansing, Meridian Township and Michigan State University.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners directs the Controller/Administrator to make the necessary budget adjustments in the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office 2010 Budget.
