MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
Gregg Geske, Fire Chief ~
December 6, 2004
DATE:
RE:
Acceptance of Purchase of new Fire Department Pagers using
Charitable Gambling money.
BACKGROUND
Carver County Dispatch has been trying to get a separate dispatch frequency for
some time. Currently it is shared with Scott County and can get very busy at
times. Carver County has now been issued a new frequency. Our existing FD
pagers must be changed or we need to purchase new ones. We have 20 of the
newer style Minitor III and Minitor IV that can be reprogrammed for $10 each.
The 28 older Minitor II pagers would cost about 65% of the cost of a new unit to
change because they require a hardware reed change.
The department has decided that it is more practical to replace the Minitor II
pagers than to reprogram them. The Minitor II pagers are between ]2-13 years
old. Because aI] of the county fire departments are purchasing the pagers
together, we are getting a price of $420.00 each compared to the $550.00 cost for
our normal purchase. The fire board had intended to pay for the purchase with
some operating budget money from this year, some from next year, and $7200
from the CIP budget for next year. Bruce DeJong suggested that we use some of
the money from charitable gambling that is supplied to the city and earmarked for
fire department purchases.
RECOMMENDATION
The Chanhassen Fire Department Board recommends that the City Council
approve the use charitable gambling money to make a purchase of 28 new Minitor
IV pagers from Ancom for the sum of $11,748.00.
