Title
Reallocation of Capital Funds for Radio Install
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC:
Requesting funds to install the two way radio in the new CID unmarked vehicles. The equipment was funded at $20,482.00 and the final bill came to $13,879.80.(Firehouse Sales and Service Invoice number 024333). This will leave a balance of $6,602.20. This was accomplished by downsizing of the vehicle which reduced the total light heads needed. Also the price increase at the first of the year was lower than we had been told to estimate. The purchase of these vehicles requires us to use a remote head for control, so the unit itself can be mounted out of the way of the driver. This work must be done by the authorized dealer as it requires going into the radio unit itself to make connections to the remote and will cost $3,731.42. We would also request the remaining balance of the equipment budget totaling $2,870 be used to update some additional vehicles to upgrade to more efficient lighting schemes and transfer the funds from Capital account 01-608-7010 to Vehicle Maintenance account 01-608-6020. Normal purchase procedures will be followed for all remaining funds and not to exceed the total amount budgeted for emergency equipment.
