Rushford defers $9,851 Motorola radio upgrade until new city administrator arrives
Summary
Police Chief Adam Eide presented a $9,851.56 quote from Motorola to encrypt patrol radios; the council deferred action until after April 1 when the new city administrator will be present to review the purchase.
Police Chief Adam Eide told the council that Motorola quoted $9,851.56 to upgrade four radios and replace one unit to enable encryption, a capability the chief said will soon be required for law enforcement communications.
Council members agreed to defer action on the quote until after April 1 so the incoming city administrator can participate in the procurement decision. The minutes record that the item was tabled rather than approved at the Feb. 23 meeting.
Chief Eide described encryption as necessary so that radio traffic can be limited to law enforcement recipients, but the minutes do not record technical specifications beyond the total quote amount.
