SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City has used the same manual time card system for over thirty years. The system is cumbersome
for the employees and management and provides no scheduling capabilities and no ability to track
attendance against scheduling. The 2007 budget included $70,000 to replace this manual system with
an automated Time and Attendance Management Systems (TAMS) that will make time data collection
much more efficient and timely. This amount has been encumbered into the 2008 budget.
The City utilized a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify the most appropriate TAMS. During
this same period of time, the Police and Fire Departments have been researching time scheduling
systems to help them better manage their complicated public safety scheduling requirements. They
have identified a system with a purchase cost of $94,000. At the present time there is no appropriation
for the acquisition of this scheduling system.
As the result of the TAMS RFP, the selection committee identified a system proposed by IntelliTime
Systems Corporation that will provide the functionality for both the TAMS and the public safety
scheduling system. The cost of the IntelliTime system is approximately the same as the cost of the two
separate systems while providing the time savings and coordination advantages of a single entry
system. In addition, the IntelliTime system will also greatly assist the Transit Division and the Utility
Divisions to satisfy their rotating and 24 -hour scheduling requirements.
The attached ordinance authorizes additional appropriations totaling $100,000 within the General Fund
to finance the acquisition of the Intellitime Systems Corporation TAMS. Also attached is a resolution
directing the City Manager to execute a contract with IntelliTime Systems Corporation for this
acquisition.
