On June 14, 2011, the City Council approved M &C G -17303 authorizing execution of a system purchase

On July 19, 2011, M &C G -17327 was approved by the City Council to appropriate funds from the
Information Systems Fund balance and from the proceeds of the Tax Notes sale to the Information
Systems Capital Fund for the purposes of partially financing the upgrade project. The M &C also

Budget from the Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD). The CCPD Board of Directors

In addition, proceeds totaling $600,000.00 from the 2011 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant
