The Klamath Falls City Council on Monday approved a consent agenda of routine purchases and projects, authorized a contractor upfit for police vehicles, and adopted a special ordinance vacating a portion of Almond Street right-of-way.

The council also approved a goods-and-services contract with Day Wireless to upfit four police vehicles (two Ford Police Interceptor SUVs and two Ford Explorers) with wireless equipment in an amount not to exceed $79,827.58. Police Captain Greg Wheat described the request in the meeting, saying, “So we're just looking at the vehicles that, you just talked about previously. We're just looking to update them, with they wireless equipped them. Typically that's who has done it in the past.” The council authorized the city manager to execute the contract and voted to approve the measure with no recorded opposition.
