body

 

WHEREAS, currently, the in-car camera system platform utilized by the Division of Police has reached end-of-life; and

 

WHEREAS, much of the equipment to include remote microphones and other accessories is no longer compatible with the current vendor’s proposed solution which would require a significant investment in new hardware, software and local digital storage; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to mitigate costs, the Division conducted a pilot test with Utility, the company that provides the secure network connectivity to the marked fleet and its GPS tracking capability; and

 

WHEREAS, making the transition to Utility will allow the Division to consolidate all of its in-car technology infrastructure with one vendor; and

 

WHEREAS, KS State Bank has requested determination and approval authorization from Council that there is a true need for the acquisition of the equipment and that the contract, substantially in the form presented, is in the best interest of the City; and

 

WHEREAS, the funding for the 2018 lease payment has already been appropriated from the Federal Law Enforcement Trust Fund (FLETF) and future appropriations will be made from the same fund each year of the lease; and

 

WHEREAS, the lease will be for five years for a total of $180,374 and the equipment ownership transfers to the City at the end of lease term

 

WHEREAS, it is imperative to move forward with this legislation because of the time sensitivity associated with the lease pricing, and all for the preservation of the public peace, property, health, safety and welfare.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GAHANNA, COUNTY OF FRANKLIN, STATE OF OHIO:
