Explanation

[Background:This ordinance is to authorize the transfer and appropriation of $35,810.00 within the General Fund between objects within the Civil Service Commission, and to authorize the Executive Director of the Civil Service Commission to upgrade the current applicant tracking and test development software system from the Professional Edition to the Enterprise Edition. This will enable the Commission to eliminate secondary licensing and maintenance fees associated with a second, separate SIGMA database shared with the Division of Police. The databases would be merged into one system. It will also expand the Commission's on-line application process to allow for resume submission, self-service applicant employment profile updating, and electronic notification of exams and vacancies.

Sigma Data Systems, Inc. is the sole provider of software compatible with the Commission's current system.

Emergency designation is requested to allow the execution of a Direct Purchase Order to guarantee the price that is only valid until December 31, 2005.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO.: 86-0640822

FISCAL IMPACT: This expenditure amount of $35,810.00 is completely funded in the 2005 budget.]
