Russellville City on Oct. 7 approved a $41,479.10 appropriation to buy a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) battery backup system for the police department server room.
The special called meeting opened after brief remarks about a malfunctioning meeting clock. City officials said the appropriation comes from the economic development capital fund and is intended to prevent a repeat of a prior outage in the police department server room that ‘‘shut the city down,’’ according to material read into the record.
A motion to adopt the appropriation was made and seconded and carried by voice vote during the meeting. No formal amendments were offered during the discussion. The funding was described in the meeting record as a purchase to restore and protect server operations; no additional budget line-item detail was provided in the discussion.
The item was presented as an urgent measure to restore city operations after the earlier outage. The council moved on to other agenda items and adjourned after completing the special meeting business.
