Council Minutes of 4/20/2004 the actual equipment is free with the contract, the committee would recommend an ~,~,, amendment that would state that this was for cell phone service as opposed to purchase and service. 2) A Finance Committee meeting was held on April 20 to discuss Ordinance 2004-68. The contract was provided. Several other issues arose, and there were some other amendments to be made: 1) an amendment that stated there is no requirement, due to the nature of the contract, for public bid or for the ItFP process that is normally required; 2) the contract is for two years instead of one; 3) the Law Director also added a cap of $25,000 over the two-year contract. At this time it is $8,640 a year. Should the contract go over that limit over the two years, then it should have been publicly bid. After discussion, the committee asked that the amount be reduced to $10,000 a year, making the total for two years no more than $20,000. Other discussion items included the cost of overage and that Verizon has a unilateral authority to change the price, but then the city has an authority to opt out should that price be changed. The committee recommended that the ordinance be held and discussed at a committee meeting next week so that all the issues can be clarified. If that occurs, then passage under suspension of the rule will be considered. Councilman Miller, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The Safety Committee met on April 13. All committee members were present as well as the Law Director. Representing the Police Dept. was Capt. Wozniak. The committee discussed Ordinance 2004-67, an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with B & C Communication Inc. to maintain base radios and console as well as mobile in-car radios for the Police Department and declaring an emergency. It is important to note that this issue is not one that is requved to go to bid because of dollar amount and the fact that it is not a personal services contract. This is for cone-year contract, start date to be April 1 and end date is March 31, 2005. The contract is to service one Motorola 2-positition dispatch console, two Motorola base stations, twenty-two mobile radios and two control stations at a rate of $185 a month. Annual fee of $2,220. Capt. Wozniak presented to Council the second page of the exhibit for Ordinance 2004-67, which was a B & C Communication letterhead service agreement. Council accepted that as completing the exhibit necessary for passage, discussed the issues to include the fact that the department has been very satisfied with the past services of B & C. Because of the peculiar nature of licensing and authority to service Motorola products and federal licensing, the committee recommended approval of Ordinance 2004-67 and recommended passage under suspension of the rule.
