Council authorizes application for homeland security grant to replace outdated radios
Summary
Evanston authorized application for a Wyoming Office of Homeland Security grant to replace Motorola radios in municipal vehicles after the vendor ended support for older equipment.
The council approved Resolution 25-53 authorizing application to the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security for funds designated for law-enforcement and terrorism-prevention activities. Staff said the city will seek funding to replace roughly a dozen Motorola radios in municipal vehicles because the vendor has discontinued support for the older units.
A staff presenter said the radios cost roughly $5,800 each (vendor quote still pending) and that the grant would cover acquisition and installation; the city would not be required to provide matching funds. The grant application period closes in September, and staff said they planned to submit the application before the deadline.
The resolution passed on a voice vote.
