Explanation
Currently, the Recreation and Parks Department utilizes an Activenet software application that has assisted with the automation of the department's business and management operations. The system centralizes all data and provides around-the-clock access for citizens to register for activities and facility rentals via the Internet, ID cards for individuals who participate at recreation facilities and events, marketing and informational tools that help keep the citizens informed of various programs and activities, and provides resources for security measures at the department's recreation centers and swimming pools among various other services. This software also provides for accurate accounting and a means to audit revenues collected in relation to the above activities.
Passage of this legislation will authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to extend the term of the current contract (EL011674) with The Active Network LTD. This modification and extension will renew the contract for software support and transaction fees associated with Activenet in the total amount of $92,000.00 for a period of June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013.
The funding for the software maintenance and support are collected via transaction service fees from the on-line users.
