During the heavy rains on the 12th, the Director of Public Works
had difficulty remaining in touch with City Hall and controlling
events in the field. It was apparent that he had need of a
cellular phone to communicate with the Sheriff, City Hall, other
field personnel, contractors, and the County.
Currently, the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and the Mayor
have been issued cellular phones. They have proved to be very
functional. During the heavy rains, they allowed for constant
communication as areas of the City were inspected an
coordination of resources was accomplished ever_ when normal line
phone service was temporarily interrupted.
Staff has been able to locate a cellular phone of the same model
as the ones currently used by the City Manager and Deputy City
Manager from Advanced Cellular Electronics. The phone is a NEC
P200 portable cellular telephone. on an emergency basis, they
were able to set up use of the phone for the City. .he cost for
the phone equipped with car adapter, battery charger and spare
battery is $546.98, which includes sales tax.
Funding was available for this purchase from the Public Works
budget for specialized equipment (03.4.142.906;;, therefore a new
appropriation was not required from the reserve. Due to the
apparent need for the equipment, and the approach of another
storm this weekend the staff purchased the cellular phone.
Recommendation (Roll Call Vote Required)
Ratify the purchase of a cellular phone for $516.98, from
Advanced Cellular Electronics, for use by the Director of Public
Works (03.4.142.906).
