CASE <br /> <br />APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT TO REPLACE LIGHT BAR <br />ON SQUAD #203 <br /> By: Jessie L. Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />When the 1995 squads were put into service they received equipment from the old squads. At that <br />time it was known that the light bar that was put on squad #203 was starting to show signs of <br />malfunction. This past week one of the four rotating lights on this light bar broke and the other <br />three were found to be loose. It would cost approximately $300.00 to repair this light bar while a <br />new light bar would cost approximately $619.00. <br /> <br />The light bar is well over five years old and in the opinion of Sergeant Gustafson, is not worth <br />putting the repair costs into when it would cost half the price of a new bar to repair the old one. <br />Therefore it is requested that the old light bar, which is a StreetHawk, be replaced with an All- <br />Light light bar made by Federal Signal. This brand is an improvement over the existing <br />Streetl-Iawk bars and would serve at least as well as the present ones. This bar would cost <br />$619.00 plus shipping and installation. <br /> <br />With the influx in building revenues, due to activity and the approved 1995 fee increase, there will <br />be adequate revenue to fund this budget amendment. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends Committee approval of a budget amendment to replace the existing StreetHawk <br />light bar on squad #203 with an All-Light light bar at a cost of $619.00 plus shipping and <br />installation. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend City Council adopt the Resolution Authorizing Amendment to the 1995 <br />Adopted General Fund Budget for the Purchase of One Replacement Light Bar for Squad g203. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br />Police Chief <br />Police Sergeant <br /> <br />FC: 09/12/95 <br /> <br /> <br />
