Council authorizes up to $75,000 for police mobile data terminals
Summary
The police chief requested and the council approved authorization (not to exceed $75,000) to purchase 15 GTAC mobile data terminals, docking stations and installation, using current‑year general fund interest earnings.
The Centreville council authorized the police department to purchase GTAC v120 mobile data terminals, docking stations and associated installation and accessories with a not‑to‑exceed authorization of $75,000.
The police chief (speaker 14) presented a memo requesting 15 GTAC v120 mobile data terminals at a quoted total of about $74,005.65 including taxes, installation and docking stations. "The Centerville Police Department is seeking a total project authorization in amount of $75,000," the chief stated.
A councilmember moved to approve the purchase using current‑year interest earnings from the general fund; the motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote. Staff and the chief said the equipment will address operational communication and records access issues the department has experienced.
The authorization directs the chief to procure the equipment consistent with the approved project scope and to report final purchase amounts to the council once bids and invoices are complete.
