CASE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR SNOWMOBILE USE By: Police Chief Mike Auspos Background: In order to use the snowmobile, the use of which has been donated by John Noard at Anoka-Rams~y Sport Center, I have had to purchase a few items. Because of the weather on this date arid a need to get the machine out, I talked with Finance Officer Hart and made a basic purchase on this date, I-6-94. I have used line item 101-42349-2211, Miscellaneous Operating Supplies and request that the Committee approve this expenditure, after the fact,[With the consideration that as the year progresses, if this line item ends up short that the 6xpend/ture area be reimbursed. I have purchased a helmet which will, I believe, fit any of the officers who have signed up for snowmobi!e patrol. It may be necessary, as the year progresses, to acquire another one to allow a better fitting with a variety of officers. I also purchased two (2) Balaclava style face masks. One has been given to Jim Way and the other will go to the next officer who works the ma&hine if he doesn't have one of his own (I will be using mine for now). The reason for individual ownership of these masks is that they tend to collect certain body fluids around the mouth opening and cross-wearing is like sharing underwear. Depending on~ the willingness and desire to use one's own equipment, I may also have to buy a couple Pairs of good mitts or gloves this season. Committee Action: Motion to recgrnmend City Council approve the purchases made by Police Chief Auspos charged to MiScellaneous Operating Supplies and to reimburse that expend/rare area should such line item borne up short later on in the year. #/ Reviewed by: Police Ch/cf City Adminisn'ator Finance Officer FC: 01/18/94 /jmt .Copies also distributed to:
