Recommendation to Receive and File a Supplemental Report From
Telecomm Consultants, Inc., Relative to the Impact of Another
City or Cities Withdrawing from South Bay Regional Commun-
ications System
Recommendation
It is recommended that your Honorable Body receive and file the
attached supplemental report from Telecomm Consultants Inc.
relative to the impact of another City or Cities withdrawing
from the South Bay Regional Communications System.
Background
At your regular meeting on December 14, 1982, your Honorable Body
requested financial projections and the impact on Hermosa Beach
should another City or Cities withdraw from RCC.
Analysis
In their final analysis (bottom of page 1), Telecomm Consultants
conclude that if an "18 percent member" were to withdraw, the
Hermosa Beach assessment -would increase to about 10 percent, or
to $220,000 realistically.
The right half of the scale indicates that if Redondo Beach, for
example, which presently contributes 25.09 percent of the total,
were to leave the system, the Hermosa Beach assessment would in-
crease to 11.00 percent. The "worst case total" would be 243,936
and the "realistic case" would be approximately 220,000.
Dr. Richter also said that if a large contributing agency such
as Redondo Beach, and another contributing agency withdrew from
the system, operating costs would be prohibitive for the remaining
agencies.

In response to the request made by the Hermosa Beach City Council at the
December 14 meeting, I am submitting the following additional information
to our final report concerning the possible dissociation of Hermosa Beach
from the Regional Communications Center (RCC). We were requested to
supply additional financial projections covering the possible financial
impact on the Hermosa Beach assessment should any of the other cities
choose to leave the RCC. Again, such estimates are conjectures at best,
since many intangibles involved in continuing RCC expenses and budgets
were related to the reduction of workload and staffing that would result
from any such dissociation. The worst-case increase in assessment to
Hermosa beach would occur if any of the other member cities were to
withdraw without any reduction in RCC workload or staffing. Such is an
unduly pesimistic assumption, but the council requested a worst-case
estimate; a more realistic assessment is also given that tempers the worst
case assessment with a modest reduction in workload and staffing and,
thereby, in the RCC budget.
The following table indicates the calculations for the five other member
cities. The cities are listed, their present percentages are indicated,
and the (worst-case) prorated spread to the Hermosa Beach assessment is
indicated; this is followed by a more realistic estimated assessment
increase. If we assume that an "18 percent member" were to leave, that
there would be some RCC staff reduction, and that the total assessment
remained the same, the Hermosa Beach share would rise to about ten
percent, or $200,000.

It can thus be seen that based on the present pro -rating algorithm, that
the bulk of any increase in assesment would fall on the four remaining
cities. The Hermosa Beach assessment would be expected to increase but
again, based on the figures given in the TCI report submitted to council
for the December 14 meeting, and making some assumptions about the cost of
handling fire dispatch, it is seen that the City of Hermosa Beach would
still be money ahead to continue to service contract with the RCC.
Again, it has been a pleasure to work with you, your staff, and the city
staff. I hope that we can be in touch and perhaps be of additional
service to the City of Hermosa Beach some time in the future.

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the City Council of January 11, 1983
Recommendation to Extend the Existing Contract with Responsive
Design, Inc., to Provide Alpha File Computerization in the
Police Department, as Recommended by Telecomm Consultants
Recommendation
It is recommended that your Honorable Body extend the Computer
Programming Contract between Responsive Design, Inc., and the
City of Hermosa Beach, to implement an Alpha File computerization
for the Police Department Records System. A one-time for
software, hardware and first year's maintenance is5,000
Backaround
For the past year I, and my staff at my direction, have been
evaluating various options to information storage of Police Re-
cords. The past, traditional paper files, and in particular
minute data such as Alpha -Files, are being replaced by computerized
systems. The various systems all have a common denominator: the
ability to store documents, numbers, and other information in a
manner that allows for rapid search, retrieval, and display. The
ultimate goal in such systems is more cost-effective operation.
As part of the recent. Telecomm Consultants study, they made very
specific recommendations relative to computerizing the Alpha Files
(more than 108,000 3" by 5" cards) presently stored in the Police
Department.
Analysis
In their final analysis, TCI concluded that the system presently
in use by the City, Responsive Design Inc. (RDI), utilizing the
Hewlett Packard Model. 3000, at present has the capacity to handle
computerization of the Alpha File Records. The one-time cost (see
Attachments lA, 1B and 1C) for the software, hardware and first
year maintenance is $25,000. A recurring -annual maintenance cost
of $3,074 for the purchased equipment would follo-v, in future years.
As TCI pointed out in their report, RDI has experience in Police
Records Systems. Our study confirms the most cost effective change
to computerization is to go "on-line" with existing City equipment.
Funding for the one-time purchase is available in the present. budget.
Surplus revenues, nearly double those projected, have occurred in
several areas. The funds are there. It is time we entered the.
20th Century.
