Replacement of Obsolete Technology Equipment
Department:Information Technology Department
Caption:Approve the replacement of obsolete technology equipment
(desktops, laptops, servers, scanners and printers, etc.) that has
reached their end of life cycle and purchase any required computer
software upgrades.
Background:In an effort to provide the employees of Augusta Richmond
County with current technology, the Information Technology
Department (IT) schedules replacement of EOL (end of life)
devices that, due to their age and capabilities, are not compatible
with current standards and are unable to support the current
software requirements. Information Technology has developed an
IT Technology Replacement plan that replaces obsolete computers
every 4 - 5 years and printers every 5-6 years, the normal
life expectancy for the equipment. The replacement of desktops
will consist of all computers that are not capable of operating the
current software needs and the scheduled printers, laptops, servers,
and scanners. Information Technology is also continuing with the
standardization of current operating systems and Microsoft Office
products throughout the organization. Therefore, required
computer software upgrades may need to be purchased for the
computers that are not scheduled to be replaced. All technology
equipment removed from production will be disposed of in
accordance with technology disposal policy. Qualified equipment
such as functional PC’s that meet a determined specification will
be sold in the Employee Lottery, and all other functional
equipment will be taken to Fleet for sale in the county auction
process. All data will be erased from any device accordingly.
Analysis:Currently there are estimated 1800 computers deployed by the
city. The life expectancy of a computer is 4-5 years. In some
cases, these computers, servers and printers are incapable of
processing the software required by today’s business environment.
We have determined that’s some Hewlett Packard printer models
over 7 years old are not capable of printer documents of
acceptable quality. There are also laptops in inventory that are
over 6 years old and will not run current software packages. These
items will be purchased from state contract(99999-SPD-
Cover Memo
Item # 4
T20120702-0003)and/or the required procurement process. Other
options were reviewed for the most cost effective solution, to
include leasing, and this was found to be the best cost solution.
Financial Impact:The total estimated cost for the technology replacements is
$470,000. Funds for these replacements are included in the
Information Technology 2013 Capital Budget.
Alternatives:Leave existing devices in place. However, this will increase the
cost of replacements in future budgets and will affect other
technology related implementations. Increasing the city’s
exposure to the risk of supporting and maintaining this out-of-date
equipment another year could result in unpredictable outcomes.
Recommendation:Approve the replacement of obsolete technology equipment
(laptops, computers, servers, printers, scanners, switches, routers,
and other telecommunication devices) and purchase of any
required computer software upgrades.

Department:Animal Services
Caption:Motion to approve ordinance to protect pets by prohibiting
operators of motor vehicles from leaving the vehicle with an
unattended dog, cat or other animal inside under circumstances that
would endanger the animal's health, safety, or welfare.
Background:When this Ordinance was originally placed before the Public Safety

Safety Officers that would be responsible for enforcing the

Unsupervised or Unattended Children in Motor Vehicles
Department:Law
Caption:Motion to approve ordinance to protect the children of Augusta,
Georgia by prohibiting operators and adult passengers of motor
vehicles from leaving the vehicle with an unattended child inside.
Background:Augusta, Georgia finds that leaving a young child unattended in a
car can too often have tragic consequences, either because the
child suffers from exposure to excessive heat or cold, is injured or
kidnapped when the car is stolen, or releases the emergency brake,
inadvertently starts the car, or puts the car in gear. Although the
State of Georgia has criminal laws that can be used to sanction
this behavior when injury or death results, it will be too late for
the child in that case. Augusta, Georgia needs a way to deter this
conduct when the child is not injured or killed, but before the
ultimate tragedy happens.
Analysis:None
Financial Impact:N/A
Alternatives:Deny the Motion.
Recommendation:Approve the Motion.
