Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> OFFICE OF THE PROSECUTING <br /> DEPARTMENT: ATTORNEY DATE: 2/23/2016 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Lee Lord, Business Manager PHONE: 934-3315 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> We are requesting the Council's permission to accept the $46,000 from the Department of the Attorney <br /> General's Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, which is passing them through to us from Federal sources. <br /> These funds will be used to partially pay for a new case management system for the Office of the <br /> Prosecuting Attorney. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> We applied for a grant through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center for funds to be used to purchase a <br /> new Case Management System for the Prosecutor's office. Our case management system needs to <br /> comunicate efficiently with the Hawaii Island Justice Information System (HIJIS), Hawaii Justice Information <br /> System (HAWJIS) and Juvenile Justice Information System (JJIS) projects. Our current system (APPX) has <br /> evolved from a Wang project that began in the 1980's. The database platform that APPX uses (ISAM) is <br /> becoming less and less known. In order for our system to integrate now and in the future with vendors and <br /> Justice Systems we need a case management system that utilizes a contemporary database platform such <br /> as SQL or Oracle. <br /> We have submitted applications for other grants and will continue to explore additional funding sources. <br /> This would include amending the budget to appropriate the funds to the project and creating a general ledger <br /> account and revenue account for the funds. <br /> SIGNED: <br /> DATE: <br /> Department Head <br />
