RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council approves the attached resolution to appropriate funds from the Measure C Operating Fund for the 2016 lease-purchase of 532 radios for police and field personnel, not to exceed $2,600,000.
SUMMARY
In 2007, the City joined the East Bay Regional Communications Systems Authority (EBRCSA), a Joint Powers Authority established to facilitate regional communications interoperability in the event of a regional emergency. On September 13, 2016, the Hayward City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease-purchase agreement with Motorola Solutions to procure EBRCSA-compliant radios for the Police Department and critical non-safety field staff, not to exceed $2,600,000. However, the 2016 Council resolution did not identify a payment source for the lease payments. The purpose of this report is to identify and appropriate funding for this purpose. Staff recommends using the Measure C Fund as the funding source for the lease-purchase agreement, not to exceed $2,600,000 per the original resolution.
