Subject: Purchase of 4 Used Vehicles and Electronic Equipment for Police Department
At the Council meeting of September 22, 1993, City Council approved the appropriation of
$50,000 for the purchase of four replacement used vehicles for the Police Department. The funds
to be transferred to the Equipment Management fund; however, the purchase of used vehicles
does not lend itself to normal purchasing practices. I am requesting that a resolution be
processed authorizing the Finance Director to purchase 4 used vehicles for an amount not to
exceed the appropriated $50,000.
During the same Council meeting, $55,000 was appropriated for the purchase of 12 encrypted
radios and 17 pagers, these items also for the Police Department. The radios are a sole source
item because National Security Administration Regulations require the sale of these types of
radios be direct from the manufacturer to law enforcement agencies. I recommend we seek
Council approval, by resolution, to sole source purchase 12 Motorola Spectra A-3 police vehicle
radio packages from Motorola C & E, Inc. fbr an amount not to exceed the already appropriated
$27,000.
