TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
KFNK EAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 1992
RE: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT RADAR EQUIPMENT
FOR ADDITIONAL SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TRAFFIC UNIT
Attached is a quote from Kustom Signals, Inc. for a traffic
enforcement radar unit to be utilized by the Sheriff's Department
traffic car authorized by the City Council this fiscal year. The
Sheriff's Department is requesting that the City purchase a Kustom
Pro 1000 radar unit with dual antennas. This unit is considered to
be the "state of the art" enforcement tool due to its capability of
tracking vehicles which are in front or behind the traffic car.
The price quotation attached places the cost of the unit at $2,540.
The Sheriff's Department and staff sought additional quotes, but
discovered that Kustom Signals has only one authorized dealer in this
area. However, because the unit is widely regarded as the best, it
is recommended that the City Council authorize its purchase for use
in Rosemead.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council appropriate the funds
' necessary to purchase one (1) Kustom Pro 1000 radar unit for use by
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Traffic Enforcement car
in Rosemead.
