RE: Retainage of laptop Computer for Field Diagnostic Operations
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve retainage of a laptop computer
for use in diagnostic operations for Public Works Facilities Maintenance?
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In FY 03-04 budget, the City Commission approved replacement of a GATEWAY SOLO 2500
(Gateway Serial No. BC698400623, Ocoee IS Property No. CPU 0289). The laptop was
subsequently replaced with a new laptop with docking station for Facilities Maintenance
Supervisor. The intended plan was to surplus the GATEWAY SOLO 2500 upon replacement.
However, the operation of the new air conditioning units in the City Hall and Police Department
require communication through diagnostic software which require a laptop computer. The
GATEWAY SOLO 2500 is currently being used by Facilities Maintenance and City's Air
Conditioning Maintenance contractor for that purpose and other mobile field operations.
This laptop will not be a part of City computer network and will no longer be supported by IS and
will be primarily used for field operations by Public Works.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve retaining the
GATEWAY SOLO 2500 laptop computer for field operations for Public Works Department.
