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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if they were able to sell any of the existing equipment, what these <br />dollars would be used for. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund explained when they sell used capital, the dollars typically go into the fleet <br />management fund. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared that she is in support of replacing the Panasonic audio and video <br />equipment. <br /> <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 /> <br />Police Chief Katers shared that he is not sure of any lead time for being allowed to launch the <br />drone. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kohner reviewed the Fire Department capital requests. <br /> <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 /> <br />Fire Chief Kohner said he is not sure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked what kind of issue they are having with the current fire engine. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kohner stated that they need to replace the pump and the engine. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked about replacing these items rather than replacing the whole vehicle. <br /> <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 /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if there is a resale value to the fire engine. <br /> <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 /> <br />City Council Work Session / July 9, 2024 <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br />
