Staff outlines vehicle replacements, lobby kiosks and IT inventory as CIP priorities
Summary
Staff flagged three vehicle replacements as 'project one', asked Alfonso for vehicle specs, and proposed two lobby kiosks plus a citywide technology inventory to track licenses and purchases.
During the same working session, staff outlined planned capital and technology items they asked council reviewers to note for the capital improvement plan.
Project one covers three replacement vehicles the department said are needed for inspectors and new positions; staff asked Alfonso to prepare equipment specifications and recommended surplusing older units to offset costs. Officials discussed phasing purchases over multiple years if necessary.
Staff also described plans to acquire two lobby kiosks under state contract — one accessible and one standard — to supplement the existing walk‑up payment system. To improve procurement transparency, staff committed to creating an Excel‑based IT inventory to track technology purchases, assignments and licensing across departments.
Next steps: staff will provide vehicle specs and add clearer notes to the CIP to explain inspector duties and equipment needs, then resubmit the updated CIP documentation to reviewers.
