A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASE OF SAFARI RECREATION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
FOR USE BY THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interests of the City to do
so; and
WHEREAS, in 1997 the Parks and Recreation Department purchased RecWare Pro, an
automated recreation management software product that is used for activity registration, child
care program management, and facility management; and
WHEREAS, this product is based on a module concept with each module acting as a
separate product. The modules have presented several time-consuming challenges to staff in
the areas of accounting, multi -tasking with the ability to open only one module at a time, data
collection, and tracking of certain transactions; and
WHEREAS, the makers of RecWare Pro have introduced a new line of recreation
management software called Safari which utilizes much newer technologies with fully integrated
components that include activity registration, facility reservation, customer account
management, financial tracking system, data reporting engine, and a point of sale system. Also
included is an internet registration component that would allow online options to customers
should the Department choose to provide this service; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends purchasing the upgraded software which will improve
customer service, improve accounting and daily close procedures, provide additional data
collection options, improve reporting capabilities and ease of use by staff.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby authorizes the
purchase of Safari Recreation Management Software for the Parks and Recreation Department
from The Active Network, Inc. of Sacramento, California in the amount of $20,675.46.
