| | | | | | | | | Subject: | Declare Old Police Radios as Surplus and Approve Disposal | | Meeting Date: | Thursday, June 18, 2020 | | From: | Darren Blevins, Chief of Police | | Prepared by: | Commander Sean Young |
| | |
| | | | | | | | I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests Councils approval to dispose of 16 handheld Motorola HT1250 radios and 9 Kenwood Dualband vehicle radios that were replaced with new radios.
II. BACKGROUND:
Over the past few years, the Police Department has upgraded their communications systems, to include hand held and car radios. The old equipment has been stored in a closet, taking up space, and is of no use due to being outdated.
III. DISCUSSION:
With the upgrades, the old radio equipment is no longer being used and a lot is not compatible with new technology. The Police Department would seek to donate this equipment to either another City Department that may be able to use it or donate them to one of the local police academies. If it is not needed by either, it will be disposed of via E-waste.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Council can choose not to allow the Police Department to surplus the old radio equipment and it stays in storage.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None. | | |
