0 <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Agenda Date Requested: November 7, 1994 <br />Requested By: Bobby L. Powell Department: Police <br />X Report Resolution Ordinance <br />Exhibits: <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />Background <br />As Council may recall, in January 1994, I requested $128, 000. 00 for <br />a radio console for the Communications office and was turned down. <br />On April 26, we wrote a letter to the 100 Club asking their <br />assistance in acquiring a new modular radio console. <br />The Hundred Club of Houston, Inc. Board of Directors met on August <br />2, 1994 and reconsidered our request for radio equipment. They <br />appreciated the effort that was made to bring the request from the <br />original $128,000 to the amended $95,289.00. The Board of <br />Directors voted to fund half of the cost of our communication <br />equipment ($47,500) if the Council will approve funding for the <br />other half. <br />Recommendation <br />I am requesting $ 47,789 to fund our half of the project, along <br />with a $10,000 contingency. I am requesting additional funding in <br />the amount of $ 10,000 to ensure the installation of the console <br />goes smoothly. Hopefully, this will be enough to make the room <br />operational and add some of the items needed e.g., a raised <br />computer floor, additional shelves and wiring for monitors. The <br />total request we are seeking your consideration for totals $57,789. <br />ALTERNATIVE: <br />Continue operation on the existing console, which has been repaired <br />twice this month after going down. <br />Availability of Funds: <br />General Fund Water/Wastewater <br />Capital Improvement General Revenue Sharing <br />Other (Motor Vehicle Fund) <br />Insurance <br />Account Number: <br />Funds Available: YES NO <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Robert T.
