RECOMMENDATION(S):

Body

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.

 

Area of Focus:  Core Services/Other                     

Strategic Plan Category:  9999 - Core Services/Other

 

DISCUSSION:

The Stancil Recorder currently operates on a Windows 10 Pro operating system, for which support ended as of October, 2025. To ensure ongoing software updates and technical support, an upgrade to Windows 11 and Windows 11-compatible hardware is required. As such, failing to upgrade the system makes the Juvenile Hall vulnerable to potential loss of call logging and recording as the existing system is no longer supported. In addition, upgrading extends the system warranty and provides more advanced security than what is currently provided.

Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:

This is a one-time expenditure to upgrade an existing system and as such, there are no further expenses anticipated in Fiscal Years (FY) 2026-27 or FY 2027-28. The Probation Department will be utilizing fund balance in the Juvenile Regional Facility Trust (Fund No. 3782) to supplement the existing Juvenile Hall budget for FY 2025-26. Fund 3782 has a current balance of $5,386,921.

None

 

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

The Board may opt not to approve this supplemental budget and the creation of a new fixed asset line item over $10,000 however this is not recommended. This would result in the Probation Department running an unsupported system for the next 8 months leaving the department vulnerable to the potential loss of phone call data and recordings.
