The Equipment Projects section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that provide new equipment; or replace,
improve, or upgrade existing Town equipment.
This section does not have ongoing equipment programs; all projects are considered one-time projects. One-time equipment
capital improvement projects are prioritized based on service level considerations, available funding sources, project costs,
and community impacts.
Los Gatos does not have a designated funding source for new equipment or the replacement or upgrading of existing
equipment; however, grants are pursued and utilized when available.

Project
Background
In FY 2008/09, staff completed a significant portion of a multi-year financial information system
upgrade. This project involved the conversion of General Ledgers, Payroll, Budget, and Human
Resources modules, followed by the implementation of the Cashiering and Business License modules.
Planned for FY 2013/14 is the final completion of the fixed asset module and continuation of
electronic commerce, including online permitting and business license applications.
Operating
Budget Impacts
The remaining project balance is estimated to be $83,169. It is anticipated that the annual maintenance

Project Name Audio / Video System Upgrade Project Number 841-6001
Department Town Manager Project Manager Asst. Town Manager : Pamela
Jacobs
Description This project provides for the replacement and/or upgrade of Council Chamber video, audio/visual, and
other applicable equipment used for televised and non-televised public meetings.
Location The video production system is located in the audio/video equipment room at the Civic Center, 110 E.
Main Street, and involves various electronic equipment required to cablecast public meetings and make
presentations.
Project
Background
In FY 2008/09, the audio/visual equipment located in the Town Council Chambers was upgraded to
ensure quality presentations. The video production equipment, however, is nearly 10 years old and is
in need of replacement or selected upgrades. Staff will also explore the use of additional audio/visual
meeting management enhancements.
This Audio/Video System Upgrade project is funded in the GFAR Fund. Public, Educational, and
Governmental (PEG) fees, provided by local cable operators, may also be used to fund this project.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Given the age of the existing equipment, it is anticipated that system enhancements will need to be
made in FY 2013/14. Staff oversight of this project will be included in the FY 2013/14 Operating
Budget.

Department Community Development/Police Project Manager Acting CD Director: Todd
Capurso
Description This is the continuation of the first phase of a Town-wide project to convert existing microfiche and
paper files to electronic storage and provide desktop access.
Location Town of Los Gatos Civic Center complex, 110 E. Main Street and the Town of Los Gatos Police
Operations Building, 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard.
Project
Background
The Community Development and Police Departments have an immediate need to provide electronic
storage and retrieval of many archived documents. The electronic retrieval system will allow
immediate access to all building and planning files for members of the Community Development
Department via desktop access. Police Department personnel will also have immediate access to all
police reports from both the police headquarters building and the police operations building via
desktop access. Following implementation by these two departments, priorities will be identified to
expand document imaging to other departments, subject to available funding.
Operating
Budget Impacts
The Community Development Department collects permit fees, a portion of which will be used to
offset some costs for document storage. Initially, the Community Development and Police
Departments will share any ongoing maintenance costs proportionally, which will be identified in each
department’s budget. As other departments begin to use the system, maintenance costs will be
distributed equitably.

Project Name Tiburon CAD/RMS Upgrade Project Number 841-6302
Department Police Project Manager Admin. Manager: Nancy Dawn
Description This project will upgrade the existing Police Tiburon CAD/RMS system through a cooperative
agreement with the City of Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.
Location
Town of Los Gatos Civic Center complex, 110 E. Main Street and the Town of Los Gatos Police
Operations Building, 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard.
Project
Background
Since 1993, the Police Department has relied on a computer aided dispatch (CAD) and records
management system (RMS) for all police operations. The current software provider, Tiburon, is in the
process of upgrading its systems to a more contemporary .NET platform, resulting in the phase-out of
older UNIX-based systems. The new product on this .NET platform is referred to as Tiburon’s IQ
Response product line.
Working in partnership with the City of Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, the Police
Department has conducted in-depth research and analysis concluding that it would be mutually
beneficial to upgrade and combine both departments’ operating systems. By combining the two
CAD/RMS systems, both agencies would be able to share real-time information with the potential to
expand the system to other law enforcement agencies in the future.
Operating
Budget Impacts
The Town of Los Gatos and the City of Sunnyvale will participate in Tiburon’s Early Adopter
Program. Since the Tiburon software and operating system is relatively new, it is not being widely
distributed to other users at this time. Los Gatos and Sunnyvale have agreed to partner with Tiburon
on a phased implementation and conduct functional tests on the new software.
It is anticipated that the cooperative agreement between the Town and the City of Sunnyvale will result
in future cost savings. Joint migration to the new platform will require a one-time cost of
approximately $70,000. Although contract negotiations are currently underway with Tiburon, ongoing
maintenance costs, including system enhancements and training, are expected to decrease by 50%.
Prior maintenance costs incurred by the Town were $70,000 annually.
Future costs for hardware replacement are also expected to be reduced but will be based on the
structure of the sharing agreement between the Town and City of Sunnyvale that is still being
negotiated.
