UNCIL C011111UNICAT�N TO: THE CITY COUNCIL SROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE 06 JECT: ACCEPTANCE OF OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT DATE - .. I NO.i . September 24, 1985 The Office of Traffic Safety has agreed to a partial funding of our request for a traffic unit. Due to the number of applications for grants and the Iiroited funds, three officers at top step, 1004 the first year and 504 the second year. Total grant funds are approximately $179,000.00 for the two years. It will be necessary for the City to fund the equipment necessary (see below.) Total equipment cost for three units is $38,806.42. Equipment includes: 3 Motorcycles - $18,900.00 - delivered to our door, siren included. (This price is quoted by Kawasaki) 3 Radios for motorcycles - $8,924.59 Model MCXI00 - installation included. 3 Portable radios - $7,922.67 total (All radios must be ordered within 30 days to bind quoted price.) 3 Helmets - $213.06 total - model S-1608 Davis Company 3 Radar Guns - $2,846.00 total - Roadrunner Kustum Electronic When -this program was initially presented to the City Council a few months ago, we advised the Council that the City would be required to fund -the purchase of the motorcycles ($18,900). We were hopeful that she State would fund the balance of the equipment (radios, helmets, etc.) Because of limited funding the State informed the City ,that only two of the three officer positions would be funded Through negotiations wewere able to retain the funding of the third officer' position in exchange for the City purchasing the remaining required equipment as listed at an additional $19,906. Since each officer position is funded at 1004 the first year and 504 the second year, this agreement is a definite advantage to the City.
