OVERVIEW:
On May 18, 2010 (6), Supervisor Bill Horn introduced an item regarding the provision of a sex offender e-mail alert and pin mapping system. Your Board approved the item and directed the Chief Administrative Officer to explore and provide recommendations regarding the feasibility of purchasing, funding, and implementing a sex offender e-mail alert service and pin map system for the residents of San Diego County. Today, staff returns with a report outlining the requested information.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the receipt of today’s report. If directed by your Board, implementation of a sex offender e-mail notification system would result in both one-time development costs and ongoing costs. The one-time cost for development and implementation of the sex offender e-mail notification system is estimated to be $20,000. The application hosting cost for the pilot is estimated to be approximately $2,400 ($200 per month). Implementation of a sex offender e-mail notification system would require no additional staff years.
