This item is a request for authorization to spend $1,370.00 to have two
mobile radios installed in our grass fire trucks. The radios we will be
purchasing would be from Dispatch Communications. The particular radios we
are interested in are Model #SMH4OODT which is a Uniden 40 watt multi-
channel scanning radio. This would be the same radio Public Works and
Parks have been installing in their vehicles.
The radios that will be replaced by these radios are two -channel crystal
type radios that do not have scanning capabilities and have been unreliable
at times.
The last mega snowstorm that we had also proved to be a reason to replace
these radios as soon as possible. During that snowstorm, the police were
unable to navigate the roads with their vehicles and were in need of some
four-wheel drive vehicles. These two vehicles did not have radios which
could keep them in communications with the county or else they could have
been utilized by them, as this is our off season for grass fires. Instead
it was necessary to provide the police department with the fire
department's Suburban which is usually used by the Fire Chief to respond to
emergencysituations. It was also necessary to provide them with the four-
wheel drive pickup truck which is usually used by the Assistant Fire Chief
to respond to emergency situations. This somewhat defeated the purpose for
'having four-wheel drive vehicles within the fire department and did put us
at somewhat of a disadvantage.
This use of vehicles has been discussed with the police department. They
are in favor of such an arrangement and have even offered to fund a portion
of the cost of installing these radios.
These items would be charged to Account #101-42210-01-323. It appears as
though the fire department will be under budget for 1991 and able to fund
the entire amount from the fire department budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize the fire department to spend $1,370.00 to purchase
and have installed two mobile radios in the grass fire trucks.
