TYPE OF PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM      
Telco System replacement for City Hall/Riverfront  
Replace the 15-year old City Hall Rolm 9751 teleco system & voicemail with a Siemens 
HiPath 4000 central switch.  This system operates as the central hub for city telecommunications 
by hosting the shared telephone lines used by city hall as well as the connected Siemens systems
including Parks & Recreation Admin, Police ITC, Police LEC, Kaw & Wastewater plants.  
BENEFITS OF FUNDING PROGRAM      
Replacement of this aging system with a Siemens 4000 systems would bring updated 
telecommunication technology including the ability to potentially use Voice over IP (VoIP)
service as the data infrastructure improves.   The system also offers improved centralized
administration, message waiting notification for other connected phone systems, 
potential for caller ID information, and additional call features with new desktop
phones.  This particular model fits in with the city's long-term strategy of integrating city
facilities with Siemens telecommunication systems for centralized administration and
common parts and telephone inventory.  Adding new  phone service to remote locations
will be less expensive since those locations can simply be remote "shelves" or extensions
off of the City Hall main system.  
ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE    
   
None  
         
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING PROGRAM    
   
City Hall employees would continue to use the existing 15 year old Rolm 9751 system for
telephone service.  These systems functions properly but because of the age of the technology
only refurbished parts are available.  At the system further ages, it will become more difficult
to obtain maintenance support service on the system.  New technologies such as VoIP, 
duplex speakerphones, and unified messaging cannot be implemented on this system.
