STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of i it Commissioners
FROM: Bob Smith, Public Works Directoil1)
DATE: January 8, 2001 I`.,
RE: 800 MHz portable radios
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the purchase
of 800 MHz radios as a capital item for FY 00/01?
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
When budgets were prepared for this fiscal year the portable radios were estimated to
cost between $1,475 to $1,500. After the budget was approved we learned the radios
had increased in price to $1,781. The sanitation and facilities departments requested
and received approval for one radio each at $1,500 per radio. In the Parks Department
$1,475 was approved in the operating budget (under small equipment) for a radio. The
streets division received three additional people this year, and due to an oversight,
radios were not budgeted for them. Staff requests the Honorable Mayor and board of
City Commissioners approve the following:
1. Reprogram $281 from operational expenses to capital (6400) for the
sanitation division.
2. Reprogram $281 from operational expenses to capital (6400) for the facilities
division.
3. Reprogram $1,781 from operating to capital (6400) for the parks division.
4. Reprogram $5,343 from the budgeted two flail mowers (6400) for the streets
division. The purchase of the 2 flail mowers will be postponed until next year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
approve the above requested budget transfers and reprogramming to allow portable
radio purchases for new employees.
