AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE
TRANSFER OF FUNDS FOR CONTRACTUAL
PAYMENT TO TYLER TECHNOLOGIES
Whereas, in correspondence dated September 29, 2025, the Chief of Public Safety formally requested authorization for the Comptroller to transfer funds totaling $190,005.93 to fund the payment due to Tyler Technologies for services and software provided to the Department of Public Safety, ensuring the continuity of the City’s Records Management System and compliance with accounting and reporting standards; and
Whereas, the Department of Public Safety utilizes the Records Management System (RMS) software provided by Tyler Technologies, which serves as an integral tool for law enforcement operations, including incident and arrest report creation, digital evidence documentation, case tracking, fingerprinting, and real-time field data access; and
Whereas, the RMS software is essential for maintaining compliance with state and federal reporting requirements, supporting investigative processes, and ensuring operational efficiency within the Department of Public Safety; and
Whereas, in previous fiscal years, funds for Tyler Technologies’ software and related services were properly allocated under the Technology and Computerization budget line; and
Whereas, the reallocation of the Technology and Computerization budget line to the Department of Management Services resulted in an insufficient balance to cover the full cost of ongoing Tyler Technologies expenses for the Department of Public Safety; and
Whereas, the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety has requested a transfer of funds between several budget lines to ensure that all contractual obligations to Tyler Technologies are properly met and recorded in accordance with the City’s financial procedures; and
Whereas, the total transfer amount required to satisfy the outstanding expenses for Tyler Technologies’ services is One Hundred Ninety Thousand Five Dollars and Ninety-Three Cents ($190,005.93);
