A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A THREE.YEAR
AGREEMENT (W|TH OPTTONS TO EXTEND) WITH
KRONOS INCORPORATED, OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS,
FOR A CLOUD-BASED TIME MANAGEMENT AND
SCHEDULING SOFTWARE
WHEREAS, the Lodi Fire Department has utilized Telestaff software for time
management and scheduling shifts. All staff have been trained on this software system that is
used for taking time off, calling for overtime, and tracking resources and personnel; and
WHEREAS, the Telestaff software is currently hosted on an internal server in Lodi. This
has created several challenges, and the latest City-wide computer crash took Telestaff
completely off line. A second server and license to utilize Telestaff in a test environment for
development and training purposes is needed. Currently, lnternal Services support is needed for
updates to Telestaff and for server access. Going to a cloud-based service will allow improved
productivity and reliability. Updates to the program will be automatic and the City will have a
fully-functional test database. The Telestaff cloud-hosted service offers two completely
redundant servers so that if one server fails, the City's account will back up within five minutes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement plus two one-year optional
extensions with Kronos lncorporated, of Lowell, Massachusetts, for a cloud-based time
management and scheduling software, in an amount not to exceed $51,280.
