SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department laptop program has been leasing a data line on Pasadena Police 800 megahertz radio tower
and line. Recently, Pasadena and Harris County reached an agreement regarding their 800 megahertz radio systems.
Pasadena will no longer lease their radio data line to us and it will become necessary to convert our system over to
Harris County's laptop system. In order to do so we must enter into an Inter-Local Agreement with Harris County.
Due to the possibility that we will eventually have our entire radio system move to 800 megahertz it was decided
that the Inter Local Agreement should be for a complete and comprehensive agreement and not just for the laptops.
By entering a complete agreement we will save money and time when and if we move our radio systems to the
Harris County 800 mhz system.
All costs associated with this Inter Local Agreement and the conversion of our laptop systems will be paid out the
Departments Narcotics Seizure A wards. The total costs of the conversion is $1,680.00, which includes a yearly fee
of $1,260.00 ($90.00 per unit, times 14 units), a one time setup fee of$175.00, and a programming fee of $245.00
($17.50 per unit, times 14 units). Pasadena has also agreed to refund any balance of funds left on our current lease
agreement.
Moving to the Harris County's Laptop programs, Z Client, will additionally provide the Police Department
additional capabilities without additional costs.
Action Required bv Council:
We request the Council to approve an Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents related to
using Harris County's 800 megahertz radio system.
