Police Chief Katers stated that they would need to certify people with the FAA to use the drone as <br /> it is for commercial use which requests licensure. He noted they can certify a few drone pilots. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the public safety dollars will be going towards the workout <br /> equipment. She asked if they will potentially be able to resell any of the existing equipment. <br /> Police Chief Katers said this will use the remainder of the public safety dollars as the rest has <br /> already been allocated. He noted that there is some existing equipment that they may be able to <br /> sell; however, some has been donated or are very old. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if they were able to sell any of the existing equipment,what these <br /> dollars would be used for. <br /> Finance Director Lund explained when they sell used capital, the dollars typically go into the fleet <br /> management fund. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove shared that she is in support of replacing the Panasonic audio and video <br /> equipment. <br /> Councilmember Olson asked if there is a lead time from the FAA on when they will be able to <br /> launch the drone. <br /> Police Chief Katers shared that he is not sure of any lead time for being allowed to launch the <br /> drone. <br /> Fire Chief Kohner reviewed the Fire Department capital requests. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove shared that she noticed that a lot of the fire vehicles do not have high <br /> mileage on them. She asked what year vehicle they can no longer get parts for due to age. <br /> Fire Chief Kohner said he is not sure. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked what kind of issue they are having with the current fire engine. <br /> Fire Chief Kohner stated that they need to replace the pump and the engine. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked about replacing these items rather than replacing the whole vehicle. <br /> Fire Chief Kohner said that they could just do repairs to the vehicle but those would be costly, and <br /> the vehicle would still need to be replaced eventually. <br /> Mayor Kuzma asked if there is a resale value to the fire engine. <br /> Fire Chief Kohner said yes and noted that when they traded in their fire engine in 2011, they <br /> received around$40,000 for it. <br /> City Council Work Session/July 9, 2024 <br /> Page 3 of 8 <br />
