communications. The City of Fort Worth IT Solutions department has paid eligible expenses for Tritech
CAD maintenance for the period of October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, which qualify for
reimbursement under this program.
The City of Fort Worth will submit a reimbursement request for Tritech CAD maintenance to Tarrant
County 9 -1 -1 District and disbursements are expected to be completed by August 31, 2011.
Reimbursement funds will be used to lower the costs for Police and Fire for IT services directly related to
the CAD system.
Although this reimbursement is for the 2011 calendar year, staff expects to participate in this program
through 2012 based on the availability of reimbursement funds. Staff will return to City Council for a
subsequent approval related to calendar year 2012.
