title
Establishment of Fixed Asset Line in the Amounts of $12,000 in Adult Probation (1100235) and Public Safety Realignment (3741294) and Associated Appropriation Transfers for a County-Managed Switch to Upgrade Phone System
end
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the establishment of a fixed asset line 8986 in both 11002235 and 3741294;
2. Approve the associated appropriation transfers in 1100235 and 3741294
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund 1100235 and Public Safety Realignment 3741294
DISCUSSION:
There is a need to install a county-managed switch at the Probation Department’s leased Adult Division offices located at 555 H Street and 404 H Street, Eureka. As of right now, these sites are running on an AT&T Hosted Voice Service (HVS)-managed switch. In order to switch them to the same phone system used elsewhere in the county, a county-owned switch will be required. Humboldt County’s Information Technology Division (IT) is wanting to get this project completed before the end of June 2024 if possible. This is something that had not previously been discussed with Probation and thus does not have an allocated budget. Establishing these fixed asset lines and moving unspent appropriations from elsewhere within the department’s budget will allow for the purchase of necessary equipment to complete this project.
