    4. REPORT ON FY 2018-2019 CAPITAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BUDGET REQUESTS [Discussion and possible action]
    Report from the Department’s Deputy Director of Finance and Planning on the Department’s 2018-2019 Capital and Information Technology (IT) budget requests.
     
    Mark Corso, Director of Finance and Planning for the Department presented the attached slideshow outlining the capital and IT budgets that will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors Capital Planning Committee and Committee on Information Technology, where they will develop various funding scenarios, levels of funding and the corresponding projects that would be funded under those scenarios. See attachment here. He explained in detail how the work is progressing from the current ESER funds and what projects are in the works and what projects are not covered by the ESER funds.  He talked about the Department of Technology infrastructure updates, server virtualization, Wi-Fi at Department Facilities and things of that sort.  He talked about the two pilot ambulance that are being tested in the field currently as well as the receipt of five new command vehicles and fire prevention vehicles.
     
    Commissioner Veronese thanked Mr. Corso for his presentation and asked for an explanation on why he was submitting individual separate budget requests.  Mr. Corso responded that they are separate as they each get vetted through separate committees under the Board of Supervisors. He also explained that in regards to finding a new training facility, they are looking at what the Division of Training’s needs for the Department are and that they are working very closely with the DPW and the Department of Real Estate as well as the Mayor’s office.  Commissioner Veronese asked about the Chief’s residence and if was considered a historical structure.  Mr. Corso answered that it was donated many years about and CHW gave a brief historical background on the Chief’s residence.  She mentioned that it’s located at 870 Bush and was occupied by all of her predecessors as they did not reside in the City and it’s important to have your fire chief residing in the city because it’s a 24/7 responsibility.  She added that it does need some additional upgrades and that they do use it once in a while for offsite meetings and the property is owned and maintained by the Department.
     
    Commissioner Hardeman thanked Mr. Corso for his report and graphics.  He asked in regards to the drone allocation, what the $150,000.00 buys the department.  Mr. Corso responded that it is an estimate for the budget and theoretically cover equipment, hardware and well as training, licensing and certification that would be required.  The discussed the new Sprinter model of the pilot ambulances and Chief Zanoff described them in detail.  Chief Zanoff added that they are open to suggestions and comments to make the vehicles the best vehicles for the City as well as the members who must work in them through their shifts.
     
    Vice President Nakajo thanked Mr. Corso for his report and mentioned how he appreciates the submittal in terms of capital, fleet and IT budget request because contains a lot of information and he can see a lot of work has gone into it to come to the final numbers.  Mr. Corso explained why the budgets are broken down into categories to present at committee levels but that they all end up as one budget that Board of Supervisors will vote on.  They discussed the breakdown of the ESER fund projects and who the funds are allocated.  They also discussed the 2009 fleet plan that the Commission approved an updated resolution to have a consistent fleet replacement.  Vice President Nakajo mentioned that he thinks it’s appropriate to ask for upgrades and repairs on the historical Fire Chief’s residence.  He also stated that it was his understanding that the antique apparatus are the responsibility of the Guardians of the City but that if we can request funding from the budget to shelter them, the Department should do that but he thinks they need an overall strategy or plan of how they can be sheltered.
     
    Commissioner Covington suggested that Chief Zanoff bring an old and new ambulance to City Hall before the next evening meeting to give the Commissioners a chance to view them and get an orientation as to what the differences are.  Chief Zanoff responded that he could accommodate that request as well as invited all of them to station 49 anytime to see the equipment and vehicles.  Commissioner Covington confirmed that over the past four years, with the infusion of funding, they have replaced over half of the ambulance fleet.  Mr. Corso also confirmed that the new model they are testing cost is relatively less expensive than the current units that they have, so they could obviously purchase more.  Commissioner Covington was concerned at how the Department was going to stay on top of cutting-edge technology.  Mr. Corso responded that IT is a general fund category, and whether it comes out of the Department’s budget of the City-wide budget depends on what the item is.  He gave examples such as replacing computers throughout the Department, there was a city-wide refresh program that helps identify the older computers and helps purchase new ones and the departments can then use that pricing to buy additional units as needed, which is an annual program.  He touched on other examples as well as stating that some of the grant submittals surround technology.
     
    President Cleaveland asked Mr. Corso regarding the capital budget if there was money requested for the extension of the AWSS or the PWSS.  Mr. Corso stated that those systems do not fall under the Capital Budget and technically, the AWSS transfer function, at least from the budgeting perspective, has moved to the PUC and as far as the PWSS that is not listed under Capital because it is part of the overall equipment and budget proposal and is allocated for PWSS equipment.  President Cleaveland also recommended that DPW have designated people assigned to the Fire Department’s facilities for needed services because he thinks that people that are already familiar with the facilities can go in and get the work done more quickly. Mr. Corso explained that they do not have specific individuals assigned, it’s a pool of DPW employees that get assigned out as needed to do facility work and he added that unfortunately, the department has a lot of issues, so there are a lot of DPW employees that are familiar with the facilities.
     
    Commissioner Covington Moved to approve the budget as submitted.  Commissioner Hardeman seconded.  The motion was unanimously approved.

    Commissioner Veronese welcomed and congratulated Chief Nicholson to her new position.
     
    Commissioner Covington also welcomed Chief Nicholson and stated it’s been a pleasure interacting with her when she was in the field.  She asked CHW to give an update on the kinds of things she feels need to be addressed in the Chief’s residence.  CHW explained that it is an older residence and is in need of electrical and plumbing updates as well as aesthetic work for the neighbors, including a full exterior paint job.  She added that while the Department does maintain the building, she would say down the line it would need some major renovation.  Commissioner Covington announced that it is very important that the official residence of the chief of the Fire Department is brought up to snuff.
