RageSubject:R&SOLVE: Appropriating Fends for Me Purchase of Two Light Bars for Police
Cruisers
Responsible DeparimenC Police
Commentary: Dming the FY97-98 budget process, fiends was originally requested to replan light bars on two
of war older cruisers: Subsequently, this request was theoretical because we felt the old bars could be conducted
and used for at least one mare year. About retiree weeks ego, during the process Ofretrafitallf the new police
with file equipment hand the old cruisers, it was discovered that Woe was aproblem with the old light
beef an the new cumber. In We old wisers, the soon had been mound under the hood. Due to Weir location in
We old cruisers, the sound IMI of the siren was amounts to. worn motorists of the approach of on emergency
vehicle. Doe to the connotation of the new ¢raisers, the location of rhe siren undo the hand does not allow fm an
adequate noise level to where that motorists are wand of rhe police vehicle's approach.
The most con effective way to address thio problem is to purchase two new light bats that have the sten mounted
m the light bar. This is the way all of the modern are equipped, except for the 2 aided cars which were just taken
out of service. This is a safety heard and liability problem that is easily solved with We expenditure of $2,400.
In reviewing our forreiture revenue, I have identified M,800 in an account (60)-20309050) that came from We sale
of vehicles which was feud from chronic OU offwdas and forfeited W the City.
I moommwd that we appropriate Was) from itis account to account 3003-91001100 and purchase the two new
light bas.
