facilities form one of the basic components, the "backbone," of an integrated computer network
for the City that is capable of utilizing current technologies such as document imaging and voice
and video transmissions
Of the total recommended supplemental appropriation, 542,072 81 funds the purchase of fiber
cabling and its installation for the Municipal Building recommended by this M & C The remaining

and several points in the Public Safety and Courts Building, including Municipal Court The

equipment The Information Systems and Services Department views this as an opportunity to
make the fiber link between the two buildings and thus accomplish the needed repairs to the
connection at the same time
