TO: THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIKE BROWN, LIEUTENANT
SUBJECT: CITY RADIO COMMUNICATIONS REPORT
I contacted city staff and the vendor in regards to the
purchase of radio communications equipment for the city. After
evaluating the needs and the potential uses for the radio
equipment, I recommend that the city begin the public works
radio network with the following equipment:
1. Four Mobile Radios, 2 Channel
2. One Base Station power supply
3. One Base Station antenna
4. Three individual desk chargers
5. Three portable radios
6 . One remote control
7. One remote control installation plus 25 cents per foot
cable
8. One Base Station installation
9 Three Mobile installations
10 . Three holsters and belt loops
The equipment listed is a good beginning for the city. As
other requirements for city communications develops, it can be
added to the existing system and compatability should not be a
problem.
The estimated cost for this system is $6765. 18 which includes
sales tax, installation, and annual service fees.
This system provides four mobile radios that will be installed
and three portable radios. All radios would have initally 2
channel frequency capability with the option of adding more to
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
the units if it ever becomes necessary.
The portable radios can be used by the code enforcement officer
or other staff personnel. The additional two portables can be
issued to a specific crossing guard that may have a unusually
dangerous location, other city staff personnel on specific
occasions or events, or be used as back up to mobile units that
will need service occasionally.
The three individual chargers and holsters will give the city
flexibility in the field use of the portable radios and
protection of the equipment from accidental dropping, theft, or
loss of the portables while in use.
As the city grows, the communications system must also expand
to meet the needs of the city. This is only the initial step
in the development of the city communications.
It is also essential that the city have its own communications
and not rely upon the county or volunteers during a disaster or
other major event that will occur in the city from time to
time.
