Approval of the Resolution
BACKGROUND
BellSouth wishes to donate funds for the purchase of six (6) new state-of-the-art police
bicycles, valued at $6,000.00, for police officers assigned to bicycle patrol. The new
bicycles will be used throughout the City by bicycle officers assigned to the Washington
Ave, Ocean Drive, 41 st Street and Lincoln Road beats.
ANAL YSIS
Many bicycles now in use by the Police Department are more than five years old. Because
of the arduous duty required by these bicycles, they are ready for replacement. They also
pose a concern in terms of officer safety for those officers who ride them.
These new bicycles are TREK Police Bicycles. They are state-of-the-art and designed
especially for police work. The bicycles come equipped with dual suspensions, a rear rack
and a flashing light. Each bicycle costs approximately $1,000.00 for a total cost of
$6,000.00. This donation will allow the Police Department to provide needed new
equipment to an important component of its community Policing effort.
There are no funds required from the City for the purchase of these bicycles.
