Body
BACKGROUND: On January 24, 2012, City Council approved a resolution to appropriate $132,097 from the Seizure Fund Balance to purchase a new criminal interdiction vehicle, three police canines, and related equipment.
DISCUSSION: Various equipment related to the criminal interdiction vehicle and the canines were purchased following the appropriation; however, there were unencumbered funds of $23,481 that did not rollover to the current fiscal year and several items including an alarm system and laptop are still needed to outfit the vehicle. These funds are needed to complete the purchases necessary. A detail listing of costs encumbered to date is attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that $23,481 be appropriated from the State Seizure Fund Balance (account 025-0000-253.20-00) and be transferred to the Plant & Operating Equipment/Crime Prevention account (025-6038-421.51-20) in order to complete the purchase of the remaining needed items for the criminal interdiction vehicle.
