Administrative Reports: City Manager Robert T. Herrera stated, "Mayor this is not an action item nor will it require action from the City Council tonight, other than perhaps a response from the Mayor that this report was being presented. In your packet is a letter from Chief Powell to myself, dated January 10th, informing the City Manager's office of the need to consider replacing the primary radio console for the Police department. As most of you know that console was built and brought on line in 1975. Because of technological advancements that have been made over the years it is now out dated and parts are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. As a result, the Police Department is asking for consideration for funding of a new radio console. In visiting with Chief Powell, this is not a budgeted item and it is not in this years budget. Perhaps, if the Council sees fit, in this upcoming budget workshop we will consider bringing this item back to the Council for future funding. But the bottom line is even though there is a request here tonight, the funds are not available in this years budget." Mayor Malone recommended to Council that this item not be approved as there are no funds in this years budget. Council was in agreement with Mayor Malone's recommendation, therefore no funding vas authorised for the raplaoamont of tho radio oonsol~. 15. Councilpersons Maxwell, Cooper, Thrower, McLaughlin and Mayor Malone brought items to Council's attention. 16. Council adjourned into Executive Session at 6:54 P.M.
