KUHN, JR., CHAIRPERSON PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE IN RE: COMPUTER SERVICES/CLEMIS - APPLICATION FOR 1987/88 AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY GRANT TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #86186, Revised Federal and State Grant Application and Reimbursement Contract Procedures, requires the Liaison Committee to review said application; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Computer Services/CLEMIS proposes to apply for funds from the Automobile Theft Prevention Authority established by Act 10 of 1986; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Computer Services/CLEMIS is proposing a program entitled "Car Computer System" in the amount of $603,341, of which 100% is grant funded with no County Match required; and WHEREAS no personnel changes will be required. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the application of said grant in the amount of $603,341. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application of this grant does not obligate the County to any future commitment. Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE I HERE)1Y APPROVE THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION Date REPORT TO PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE BY DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET IN RE: COMPUTER SERVICES/CLEMIS - 1987/88 AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY GRANT APPLICATION Pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution #86186 the Department of Management and Budget has reviewed the grant application and finds: 1) This is the first year of the grant which is scheduled to operate from May 1, 1987 through April 30, 1988. 2) Total expenses are estimated to be $603,341 which will cover the purchase, installation and first year repair costs of the equipment listed on the attached, as well as other miscellaneous costs. 3) No additional positions are requested for this project. 4) Project expenses are to be reimbursed 100% by the grant, thus the short-term implicitions for the County are minimal. In the long-term the County may be effected financially by the following- A. Capitalization of Equipment- Should the County retain title to any or all of the project equipment a replacement program must be established through a depreciation charge. The County currently depreciates computer hardware over a five year period; thus if title to all equipment was held by the County the annual depreciation cost would be $110,668. If title was held to all equipment except the in-car terminals, the annual depreciation cost would be $65,668. B. Maintenance and Repair - These costs are covered, either through grant or warranty for the first year; beyond this, period the equipment owner must accept the responsibility for this function. No firm figures are available as to what this cost will be, however estimates of $20,000 annually have been provided for similar configurations; thus costs in this approximate amount may be anticipated.

OAKLAND COUNTY 1N-CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM The problem facing law enforcement agencies in meeting the increasing motor vehicle theft rate is the lack of personnel allocations directed at UDAA enforcement and the failure to develop alternative methods in dealing with the problem. Recognizing these problems and the need to increase officer productivity to meet the increased demands for police calls for service, Oakland County Law Enforcement Officials, led by the Oakland County Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System (CLEWS) met with Motorola, Inc. in April of 1985 to discuss the possibility of establishing a backbone system to support in car computer terminals throughout Oakland County. The cost of this project was to be shared among the County law enforcement agencies, but increased terminal costs and limited budgets caused the proposal to be dropped. At the present time there is not a police agency in Oakland County that has access to an in car computer terminal. A countywide in car terminal system, funded through the Automobile Theft Prevention Authority, would greatly increase the detection of stolen vehicles and apprehensions of LAMA suspects. Such a system would provide small agenties an opportunity to be linked to a system which they could never fund on their own. The in car computer terminal system would allow county police officers access to the State's Law Enforcement Information Network (L.E.I.N. through a direct inquiry from the in car- terminal without any intermediate intervention. This system would provide more effective and efficient use • of air time and communications personnel while providing more accessible query of vehicle and driver's license information by road patrol officers. In car computer terminals would also be instrumental as a tool to be used by law enforcement agencies who have undercover units working auto thefts in high U.D.A.A, crime areas such as shopping malls and office complexes. This system would also make any proposed U.D.A,A. enforcement teams substantially more productive in their detection and apprehension efforts. The grant request is for a communications and computer base station to be housed at Oakland County CLEMIS facilities, which has a direct microwave link with the State's LEIN system. With a radio tower located in Pontiac, the system would cover approximately 90°0 of the County and provide access to all 145 County police agencies. It is proposed that each agency be provided with one mobile terminal. This would allow all agencies to be involved in an countywide (State, County and local) detection and apprehension plan regardless of the size of the individual agency. Larger agencies would purchase additional mobile terminals from their own budgets. Detroit - In Car Terminal Inquiries - 2,428,000 - 2,986,515 - 3,387,853 1984 1985 1986 - 40 " Increase Livonia in - Car erminal Inquiries 535,269 737,504 906,253 1984 1985 1986 - 69`.; Increase Oakland County In Computer System Page Two The administration of the project would be through the project director and the CLEMIS Policy Committee, which would establish operating policy and procedures for the system. It is proposed that tlw county 's police officers be trained in the utilization of the in car computer terminal by CLEMIS in conjunction with the Oakland Police Academy. This training could possibly be paid by State training Act 302 monies. Maintenance of the system would be a joint responsibility of the county 's radio technician and CLEMIS. Hardware and radio maintenance would be the responsibility of the county's radio technician while software concerns would be the responsibility of CLEMIS personnel. In 1986 Oakland County made 5,049,501 LEIN inquiries through dispatch center terminals. This amount will increase substantially with the imple - mentation of in -car computer terminals as indicated by the history of mobile terminal use by the City of Detroit Police Department and the Livonia Police Department . IN CAR TERMINAL HISTORY The use of in - car computer terminals by Oakland County officers will increase the number of license, vehicle and person checks by at least 40-0. Such an increase of information will lead to an increase of recovered stolen vehicles and arrested persons just as it has in other areas where in -car computer terminal systems have been installed.
