created an immediate need for expert staffing in the field of information
technology and computer support services. proj ects such as the Mobile
Data Computer implementation, Computer Aided Dispatch, and the general
increase in centralized computer services used at the Fire Department
require expertise and personnel that is currently limited. Sapphire

fire service agencies, including the Orange County Fire Authority. Due

Fire Department staff recommends approval of the recommended action.
