MEMORANDUM
TO: John Wolff, Fire Chief
FROM: Jason Martagon, Small Tools /EMS Supplies Coordinator

SUBJ: Approve Resolution Accepting Grant from CenterPoint Energy and Purchase of
Thermal Imaging Camera
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The city council approves a Resolution Accepting a $2,200 Community Partnership Grant from
CenterPoint Energy and Authorizes the Purchase of Two Thermal Imaging Cameras for the Fire
Department as approved in the Capital Improvement Program."
Approval requires a simple majority vote of the city council.
BACKGROUND
The city received a Community Partnership Grant from CenterPoint Energy in the amount of
$2,200. This grant award is intended to assist with the funding of two thermal imaging cameras
(TIC) for the fire department, which were approved as a part of the 2012 Capital Improvement
Program. The Fire Department has 5 thermal imaging cameras in service today, and would like
to replace two of the original cameras purchased in 2001. Staff began evaluating cameras from
MSA, Scott, ISG, Bullard, and Draeger in December of last year. The evaluators chose the ISG
model based on performance, price and best fit for the department. The new ISG model is also
compatible with the department's existing ISG vehicle charging base and spare battery packs.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached resolution accepting the grant from
CenterPoint Energy and authorize the purchase of two ISG Elite XR Thermal Imaging Cameras
from Jefferson Fire. The cost of the first camera is $9,500 and the second camera is $8,500 (the
vendor is discounting the price of the second camera if purchased in this fiscal year). The fire

department will use the funds in the Capital Improvement Program to pay costs above the grant
award. The purchase includes a two year warranty, and all associated accessories.
