Title
Consideration of and action on approving an inter-departmental transfer of outdated radio equipment to Matagorda County.
Body
Summary:
Attached is an itemized list of serial numbers for the portable and mobile radios that have reached the end of their service life. We have replaced this equipment and no longer have a need to retain these items. Below is a list of the radio quantities and miscellaneous radio related accessories that have also been replaced.
A request was made to the HGAC Criminal Justice Advisory Committee personnel about who might be in need of this older equipment as we knew there would be minimal money coming from auction for it. We were directed to Chris Peikert: the IT Manager for Matagorda County. His office provides services for Matagorda County, Bay City, and Palacios Police Departments. He advised that they have a need and would be very appreciative if Deer Park officials were to approve a transfer of all the listed items to them so they could issue them to Matagorda area first responders. The recommendation is to donate this equipment to Matagorda County.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
N/A.
Recommended action
Approve.
