Council discusses radios and vehicle purchase for new School Resource Officer
Summary
Chief Ryan Sparling briefed council on purchasing two portable radios and a patrol vehicle for the newly designated School Resource Officer; one radio and the vehicle are expected to be reimbursable at 100% through the SRO grant and bids reflect state contract pricing.
Chief Ryan Sparling told the council that the Police Department needs two portable radios—one for the newly designated School Resource Officer (SRO) and a spare—and presented a vehicle purchase for SRO use. He said both items would be funded from Police Capital Outlay and that one radio and the vehicle purchase would be fully reimbursable through the SRO grant; the bids provided reflect state contract pricing.
Council discussion focused on funding and reimbursement: council members heard that the SRO grant will cover the listed items at 100% for the reimbursable units and that purchases use state contract pricing. The work session recorded the discussion but shows no purchase approval or motion during the meeting.
