SUBJECT:
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution
BACKGROUND
BellSouth wishes to purchase two (2) new state-of-the-art police bicycles, valued at $2,000.00, 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, 41st Street and Lincoln Road beats.
ANALYSIS
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 $2,000.00. 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.
CONCLUSION
The adoption of this Resolution will enable the City to accept the bicycles from BellSouth.
