Budget Amendment for Clerk of Clerks in the amount of $140,400 to fund additional court clerks necessary to implement a real-time sentencing program.  The purpose of the real-time sentencing program is save the county $475,200 per year in reduced jail costs by allowing for the transfer of inmates to state prisons same-day or next business day instead of one week on average.

WHAT ACTION ACCOMPLISHES:

On average, the jail transfers about 900 inmates to prison per year.  This program is designed to speed-up the completion of the required paperwork – commitment packets (which are required by law before the inmate can be transferred) from the current five day average to same-day or next business day.  The cost of keeping an inmate in the county jail for one week is $528 x 900 transfers = $475,200 per year.

The current process for completing commitment packets consists of a court clerk sitting in a court room to record disposition information, returning to the office after court, and with the help of another clerk, completing the paper work within two to three days.  The commitment packet is then sent to the Judge’s office to be signed and returned to the Clerk’s Office.  This takes one to two days on average.  The clerks then make and certify copies before sending the Jail a completed commitment packet.

The new process for completing commitment packets would consist of the Clerk’s Office sending three clerks to the court room to complete the commitment packets real-time.  The packets would then be presented to the Judge who would sign them same-day or next business day, allowing the Clerk’s Office to deliver to the Jail the completed packets within the same-day or next business day on average.

ACTION REQUESTED/PURPOSE:

Approve Bid Waiver # W-060126 to waive the formal quotation procedure, and allow Public Safety to purchase EMResource Hospital Status tracking software and support, from EMSystem, LLC at a total price of $71,595.40; and authorize the Board Chairwoman to sign a software licensing agreement should one be requested by the vendor at a later date.  A waiver has been requested because EMSystem, LLC is the sole distributor of this software product which is presently in use throughout Florida by several RDSTF regions; and is soon to become a State mandated purchase by the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) and Homeland Security (SHSGP) – please see Attachments # 1 and # 2.  Authority is also requested to expend the funds necessary for the annual software maintenance costs for the life of the system – currently $75,000 per year (with increases not-to-exceed 10% annually).  The annual user fees for this software will be shared by the RDSTF (through sustainment grant monies) and participating municipalities.  The annual not to exceed amount is projected at this time to be $0.04 per capita, or $24,000 annually for Lee County.

WHAT ACTION ACCOMPLISHES:

Allows Public Safety to purchase software which enables it to remain in compliance with both future State mandates for this product and Grant requirements for this purchase.
