Council transfers $41,000 for police equipment and authorizes Motorola radio purchase
Summary
Westville Town Council adopted Resolution 2025-6 transferring $41,000 into police equipment and approved buying replacement Motorola radios (features noted: GPS tracking, 7-year warranty) in an amount not to exceed $41,000; both votes were unanimous.
The Westville Town Council voted to transfer $41,000 within the general fund to pay for police equipment and authorized the purchase of replacement Motorola radios for public-safety use.
Council introduced Resolution 2025-6, described in the meeting as a transfer of $41,000 from police salaries to police move equipment (general fund). Albert Roche moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and passed 4-0.
Officer Marshall reported an increase in calls for service and outlined two security-related items: door-lock upgrades for the town building—s two front doors to provide electronic keypad access and a Motorola radio replacement proposal. He said the new radios would include features such as GPS tracking for individual officers, broader coverage and integrations to improve reliability across local jurisdictions; he also noted a seven-year warranty and a trial period to test the radios.
After discussion Councilor Missus Diehl moved to purchase the radios in an amount not to exceed $41,000; the motion was seconded and passed 4-0. Councilors asked staff to confirm turnaround times and programming availability at the local level.
The transcript records the transfer amount and the procurement authorization but does not provide a vendor contract value beyond the not-to-exceed figure, nor does it list a detailed line-item budget for the broader radio program.
