Councilmember introduced thc following resolution and moved for its adoption: RESOLUTION ff93-04- RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CAPITAL PURCHASE OF ONE RADAR UNIT WHEREAS, at the Council's Finance Committee meeting of February 23, 1993, Staff presented a request for the purchase of one MPH Industries brand BEE 36KA band unit to replace two of the Police Department's oldest radar units; and WHEREAS, the BEE 36KA unit is much smaller than any the City currently has, and this unit permits mounting thc antenna above the rear view mirror rather than mounting on the dash as with our other units; and WHEREAS, this purchase is consistent with federal regulations effective in 1994 that require dual air bags in new automobiles, including new police squads, as dash mounted units could jeopardize the deployment or effectiveness of these bags; and WHEREAS, staff also recommends trading in or reselling the two older units identified within the City's fixed assets as numbers 194 and 204: and WHEREAS, the sum of $2,405.00 is available in the City's Equipment Replacement Fund to purchase the new unit; and WHEREAS, this sum, plus trade-in value or resale of asset numbers 194 and 204, will fully fund the new purchase price of just under $2,600.00; and WHEREAS, the Finance Committee unanimously approved this recommendation and hereby recommends the Ramsey City Council authorize the purchase and funding sources as detailed within this resolution.
