That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the transfer of $15,000 from the Department of Child Support Services' software line item (1380 206 2148) to the line item for equipment (1380 206 8986); and

Child Support Services (1380)
DISCUSSION:
The current onsite and offsite backup server system will reach end of support in May of 2022. The cost to extend the warranty and support is not cost effective. In addition, Child Support Services needs to purchase a new system with increased storage capacity due to the amount of data growth and data retention requirements. The attached solution as quoted will provide the additional data storage, data protection and backup recovery services needed to continue to operate in current environment settings.
The attached quote for this system includes a discount of $5,660 that will expire on June 26, 2021. The excess funds to purchase this system exist in the fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 budget. Due to Covid-19 travel restrictions the travel line item has additional funds available to transfer. Some of the anticipated purchases in software have been delayed until the FY 2021-22, leaving additional funds available in the software line item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The attached budget transfer will establish fixed asset line 8986-Equipment in fund 1380, budget unit 206 in the amount of $23,000. There are sufficient savings in the amount of $15,000 in 2148 - Computer Software and $8,000 in 2125 - Transportation and Travel for the purchase of the Arcserve backup appliance unit with support and maintenance from RDT Solutions LLC.
