CC - Purchase of Speed Monitoring Awareness Rado Tool - Box 0670
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 21, 1990
RE: PURCHASE OF SPEED MONITORING AWARENESS RADAR TOOL (SMART)
Attached for the Council's review is a letter from the City of Duarte
indicating its desire to sell a half interest in a Speed Monitoring
Awareness Radar Tool (SMART). The letter was received by way of the
City of Temple city, who retains the other half interest in the
instrument. Temple City is requesting that the City of Rosemead
purchase Duarte's interest in SMART and share the operation of that
equipment on a 50/50 basis. The City of Duarte is selling its half
interest in order to purchase an additional SMART trailer for
full-time use in that City. The total cost for purchasing the half
interest in the equipment would be $3,197.56, plus the City's share
of any maintenance costs which may result.
SMART is a mobile radar/speed display trailer which indicates to
passing motorists the speed at which they are travelling. The
instrument is towable and has been proven effective in slowing down
traffic in areas where excessive speed is a problem. It has no
enforcement capacity, but it would prove to be valuable on streets
within the City where excessive vehicle speeds have been,frequently
noted. It has been in use in Temple City and Duarte since November
1989, and is expected to operate efficiently for another seven years.

ITEM No.

The attached agreement between the cities of Temple City and Duarte
indicates that each party retained possession of the trailer for six
(6) months each year, in two-week increments. Should the Council
wish to purchase Duarte's interest in the device, it would be
appropriate to allocate $3,197.56 from Appropriated Reserves for
purchase and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with Temple City regarding the trailer's usage. The language of any
new agreement would roughly parallel the language in the attached
document.
It is recommended that the City Council allocate $3,197.56 from
Appropriated Reserves for the purchase of a half interest in the
Speed Monitoring Awareness Radar Tool (SMART) and authorize the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Temple City
regarding the machine's usage.

Attn: Karl Koski
City Manager
Dear Mr. Koski:
The City of Duarte is interested in selling its share of the
Speed Monitoring Awareness Radar Tool. (SMART)
The total 'purchase price was $7,308.70 which was divided
equally between our two cities upon delivery in November of
1989. since our original agreement indicated an eight year
life expectancy for the unit, I believe that reducing the
value by one eighth or $913.58 is a reasonable settlement.
Therefore, half the depreciation subtracted from half the
original cost equals $3,197.56.
Please let me know if you would be interested in purchasing
our share and if the.:indicated terms are accePUble.. .
Sincerely,
Jesse Du
City Manager
