[1. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR A LOCAL ON-SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (LOSA) FOR THE INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CONTROL ATHE THE INTERSECTION OF US 380 AND BUS 380 (CONTROL-SECTION JOB NO. 02-3LOSA001) RELATED TO THE CEFCO DEVELOPMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.]

FOR A LOCAL ON SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

L-O-S-A.

LOSA.

DO WE HAVE A YEAH, I THINK THE YEAH, EARL IS ONLINE.

I'M GOING TO LET EARL KIND OF FRAME THIS FOR YOU GUYS FIRST AND THEN MYSELF OR PAM CAN SPEAK TO ANY SPECIFICS IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ANYTHING.

SO EARL, IF YOU CAN HEAR US, TAKE IT AWAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SO CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? RIGHT. OKAY SO THE DISAGREEMENT IS WITH TEXT DOT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE SELFCO PROJECT, WHICH IS A PROJECT LOCATED AT HIGHWAY 380 AND HIGHWAY 380 BUSINESS OUT THERE BY THE SHERIFF SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THE CRUX OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT TXDOT WILL NOT ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH PRIVATE DEVELOPERS.

THEY ONLY ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH WITH POLITICAL ENTITIES.

SO THIS AGREEMENT ALLOWS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SIGNAL MODIFICATION AT THAT INTERSECTION THAT THE DEVELOPER, THE ZIP CODE PROJECT, WILL PAY 100% OF THE COST FOR.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN YOUR PACKET IS A DRAFT.

WE EXPECT SOME OF THE NUMBERS TO CHANGE.

WE'VE SEEN A RECENT COST ESTIMATE DATED INTO FEBRUARY FROM A CONTRACTOR FOR SAFECO TO MAKE THIS SIGNAL MODIFICATION, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S SHOWN IN THIS IN THIS LOAN AGREEMENT.

SO WE WOULD EXPECT SOME OF THESE NUMBERS TO CHANGE.

AND I THINK CITY ATTORNEY PAM CAN PROBABLY EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU GO AHEAD AND EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OF THE NUMBERS MAY CHANGE.

THERE'S NO COMMITMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY FOR ANY FUNDING ON THIS PROJECT, AND WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU MOVE AHEAD AND ALLOW THEM TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, COUNCIL? HELLO. ALL RIGHT.

SO I GUESS THIS RESOLUTION IS SETTING IT UP FOR CITY MANAGER TO ENTER THE AGREEMENT WHEN EVERYTHING GETS WORKED OUT.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, A URL, JUST A LINK TO THE PACKET THAT'S CHANGED ALREADY.

A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DEATHS DONE AND EVERYTHING'S NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVED AS FAR AS THE PIECES THAT NEED TO BE IN PLACE. SO YOUR RESOLUTION, YOU'LL NOTICE HOW IT'S WORDED.

[00:05:03]

IT'S ALLOWING FOR THE APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT FROM LOCAL ON SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

IT'S WE COME CLOSER TO BE EXECUTED BY THE CITY MANAGER.

VERY GOOD EARLY DAYS DON'T COME INTO COMING TO WHERE YOU WANT TO CHOOSE AND CONTRACTS THAT HAVE ALL THE COSTS PRETTY GOOD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL? THIS IS NO COST OUT OF THE CITY'S POCKET.

IT'S ALL THE DEVELOPER OR TXDOT OR JUST ALL DEVELOPER.

SO I NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S THAT WAY.

YEAH. LIKE, IN THEORY, I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT THAT'S THE IDEA.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY, WE'LL HAVE TO APPROVE THE CITY SPENDING MONEY ON THAT PROJECT.

CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT PROTECTS AGAINST JAKE.

THIS DEVELOPER AGREEMENT WILL IDENTIFY THE CONTRACTOR AND DEVELOPER AS THE SOLE PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS.

OKAY, WHAT YOU'RE DOING TONIGHT IS JUST GIVING US APPROVAL TO ESSENTIALLY EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT FOR THE WORK TO CONTINUE SO THAT WE DON'T HOLD THE PROJECT UP.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY ONE SECTION ON HERE.

THE VERY END, IT SAYS IT'S THE IT GIVES THE AUTHORITY FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT SHOULD BE THAT BE THE CITY MANAGER.

I'M GLAD THAT YOU SAW THAT, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD READ THAT, TOO.

AND THEN I SAW IT COME OUT ANOTHER WAY.

YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.

THE WAY THAT THE RESOLUTION IS DRAFTED, IT'S FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND THE WAY THE DRAFT OF THE CONTRACT IS FIT TOGETHER.

IT'S FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE.

BUT YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.

WE TRUST THE CITY MANAGER MORE THAN THE MAYOR.

IT LEADS TO GET HE HE CAN SIGN IT VERY QUICKLY, COULDN'T HE? HE COULD EXPEDITE THAT MUCH QUICKER.

SO THAT'S A GOOD EYE.

THANK YOU, MS.. HILTON.

GOTTA BE A FALL GUY SOMEWHERE.

RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH TXDOT FOR A LOCAL ON SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WITH LHASA FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE TRAFFIC CONTROL AT THE INTERSECTION OF 380 AND BUSINESS 380 AND ALLOW THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT UPON COMPLETION. WELL WORDED AND WELL THOUGHT OUT.

SECOND. OH.

AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. CARPENTER. [INAUDIBLE] ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSE. SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT, THAT PASSES. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 2, CONSIDER FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2021-912.

[2. CONSIDER FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2021-09-12 TO APPROPRIATE AND BUDGET FUNDS FOR SERIES 2022 BOND EXPENSES IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING.

HERE. I'M JUST PRESENTING AN ORDINANCE FOR OUR BUDGET AMENDMENT.

WE JUST WANT TO REFLECT THE EXPENSES OUT OF THOSE BONDS THAT WE RECEIVE EARLY IN THE YEAR.

WE HAVE COMPLETED 20% ALREADY FROM THE FUNDS THAT WERE ALLOCATED FOR THE WATER AND THE SEWER FUND.

SO HERE IS THE AMENDMENT FOR 2,000,844.

AND OF COURSE, IS THE MONEY OFFSETS WITH THE SURPLUS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MONEY IN OUR BANK.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT JUST GETS US TO APPROPRIATELY ALLOCATE.

EXACTLY. VERY GOOD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR THAT.

OH, IT'S A FIRST READING.

I GUESS I WAS.

I WAS READY TO GET GOING ON THAT ONE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ITEM THREE, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A GOVERNMENT LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[3. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A GOVERNMENT LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL LEASING COMPANY AND THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.]

WE HAVE A REPORT FOR THAT.

GOOD EVENING. SO ONE OF THE THINGS, GUYS, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BUDGET COMMITTEE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AMONGST SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT WE REALLY STRESSED WERE IMPORTANT FOR THE DEPARTMENT.

ONE OF THOSE WAS OUR VEHICLES.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME OF OUR VEHICLES ARE NOT MATCHING.

SOME OF THEM ARE QUITE OUTDATED AND THEY'VE GONE PAST THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY.

SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE REALLY STRESSED IS OUR VEHICLES.

[00:10:05]

AND SO WHAT WE'VE GOT FOR YOU TONIGHT IS A PROPOSAL, A LEASE AGREEMENT.

AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, I KIND OF SHED A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT ON SOME THINGS.

BUT OBVIOUSLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO GET SOME 2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S.

THESE ARE ALL POLICE PACKAGES CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE THREE OF THEM SITTING UNDER THE AWNING UP AT THE P.D.

WITH ANOTHER FOUR SET FOR DELIVERY, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, AND THEN I'LL HAVE TWO MORE COMING LATER ON.

BUT THIS WILL BE COMPLETELY OUTFITTED.

VEHICLES READY TO GO.

THIS ALL EQUIPMENT, ALL THE LIGHTS, EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THOSE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT AS PART OF THIS LEASE AGREEMENT.

SO AS YOU LOOK AT THIS, TO DO NINE TAHOE'S.

WE'RE LOOKING AT $119,000 A YEAR FOR THOSE NINE VEHICLES.

IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE BUDGET THAT I HAD PRIOR TO THIS YEAR, LAST YEAR, I $195,000 FOR THREE VEHICLES. SO YOU CAN SEE THE LEASE AGREEMENT AUTOMATICALLY RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

FINANCIALLY, I THINK IT HELPS US.

THE OTHER PART OF THIS, IT'S ON A FIVE YEAR LEASE.

AT THE END OF THE FIFTH YEAR, WE CAN PURCHASE THOSE VEHICLES BACK FOR A DOLLAR EACH, WHICH AT THAT POINT IN TIME WE CAN EITHER RESELL THOSE VEHICLES AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE THAT EQUITY THAT YOU HAVE IN THOSE VEHICLES AND YOU PUT THOSE BACK AGAIN TO THE LEASE OF FUTURE VEHICLES AS WELL.

AND SO REALLY WHAT IT DOES IS THIS ALLOWS US TO GET RID OF SOME OF THOSE OLDER MILEAGE VEHICLES THAT WE HAVE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE UNIT NUMBERS THAT ARE RIGHT THERE.

BUT THIS IS REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KIND OF SHOW YOU.

THIS IS THE MATRIX THAT WE HAVE.

CAPTAIN DOBANS, PUT THIS MATRIX TOGETHER FOR YOU TO REALLY KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR VEHICLES.

OBVIOUSLY, THE VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THE RED ARE WAY PAST THEIR LIFE AND THEIR EXPECTANCY OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING FOR US.

THAT ALSO MEANS THAT WE'RE SPENDING MORE MONEY ON MAINTENANCE FOR THOSE VEHICLES JUST TO KEEP THEM UP AND RUNNING.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THAT RED AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS THAT ARE BORDERLINE ON THE YELLOW THAT ARE ABOUT TO COME INTO THE RED.

BY LEASING OF THE NINE VEHICLES.

THIS NOW IS WHERE WE WOULD STAND AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO TAKE THOSE VEHICLES, PUSH EVERYTHING DOWN.

WHAT THIS ALSO THEN ENABLES US TO DO IS TO TAKE SOME OF OUR OLDER MILEAGE VEHICLES THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE 40, 50,000 MILES ON THEM CURRENTLY.

WE CAN TAKE THOSE PUSH THOSE DOWN INTO SPECIFIC POSITIONS LIKE SRO VEHICLES, WHICH STILL PROVIDES THEM NICE VEHICLES.

ONE OF THE ISSUES WE RUN INTO NOW, PARTICULARLY WITH THE SROS, IS THAT'S WHERE OUR A LOT OF OUR REALLY OLD, OLD VEHICLES ARE.

SOME OF THOSE HAVE LIKE 180,000 MILES ON THEM.

AND WHEN OUR SROS TRAVEL, PARTICULARLY LIKE NOW WITH THE FOOTBALL TEAM OUT OF TOWN, WE EITHER HAVE TO REALLY WORRY THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT THERE AND BACK WITHOUT BEING ON A WRECKER OR WE HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES AWAY FROM ONE OF OUR OTHER GUYS AND ALLOW THEM TO USE THE VEHICLE.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON HERE, WHAT THAT DOES IS JUST LOOKING AT THE MATRIX ALONE, THAT REALLY HELPS US WITH OUR VEHICLES.

IT ALSO MOVES US ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO HAVING ALL OF OUR VEHICLES THE SAME, LOOKING THE SAME, YOU KNOW, BEING ONE DEPARTMENT.

AND SO THAT REALLY HELPS.

WHAT THIS DOES IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FIRST YEAR, IT'S 119,000 FOR THOSE VEHICLES.

WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR LEASE PROGRAM IS OVER THAT FIVE YEARS, YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST YEAR IS 119.

IF NEXT YEAR OR THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO START GETTING ON A ROTATION PLAN WITH THESE VEHICLES, WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL UNITS TO THIS.

SO IF IN NEXT YEAR OR THE FOLLOWING YEAR, WE WANTED TO ADD ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE VEHICLES.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 175 TO $185000 THAT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT PAYING FOR 14 TO 15 VEHICLES.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU REMEMBER EARLIER ON, I STATED THAT OUR BUDGET LAST YEAR FOR VEHICLES WAS $195,000.

WE WE'RE STILL BELOW THAT BUDGET AMOUNT THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR, AND WE'RE GETTING LIKE EIGHT TIMES THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET. SO FOR US, THE LEASE AGREEMENT IS REALLY A JUST IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US AS A DEPARTMENT.

[00:15:09]

THIS IS THROUGH AMERICAN NATIONAL LEASING BANK IS WHO THIS IS THROUGH.

THEIR OUT OF WICHITA FALLS, A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THEM.

MR. MIKE CUBA, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE LEASING, IS HERE TONIGHT.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AS IT RELATES TO THE LEASE, HE IS HERE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS RIGHT AFTER ME WITH A VERY SIMILAR LEASE.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE LEASE, MR. CUBA WOULD BE MORE THAN GLAD TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU AS WELL.

I ACTUALLY SAID IT.

AND THEY CAN GET US THESE VEHICLES.

SO THE VEHICLES RIGHT NOW I HAVE ALL BUT TWO OF THE VEHICLES OF THE NINE.

THREE OF THEM ARE UNDER AN AWNING UP AT THE PD RIGHT NOW.

THE OTHER FOUR THE OTHER THREE ARE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RICHARDSON WAITING ON THE FOURTH ONE TO ARRIVE.

AND THEN I WILL HAVE ALL SEVEN FROM THAT DEALERSHIP AND THEN THE OTHER TWO WILL COME FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP.

SO. ALL BUT REALLY TWO OF THE VEHICLES RIGHT NOW WE ALREADY HAVE.

OKAY. THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION IS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN ACTUALLY PRODUCE THE PRODUCT.

WHAT IS THERE A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THIS? LIKE HOW TO HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH MAINTENANCE ON THEM? OR SO THE MAINTENANCE TYPICALLY LIKE ALL THE MINOR MAINTENANCE STUFF THAT IS STILL ON US.

OIL CHANGES THINGS ALONG THOSE WHICH THOSE WE HANDLE ANYWAY, BUT THE MAINTENANCE IN OF ITSELF.

ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS? THE GOOD THING HERE IS, IS THEY FALL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.

SO TRANSMISSIONS, ENGINES, THINGS LIKE THAT FALL UNDER THAT MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.

SO, YOU KNOW, ANY BIG MAJOR THINGS THAT TAKES OFF.

BUT BY ALSO HAVING THE NEWER VEHICLES, THE BETTER SHAPE VEHICLES, THAT MEANS OUR YEARLY MAINTENANCE COST OF ALL OF OUR VEHICLES SHOULD DROP AS WELL.

WAS THAT IN THE 195 AND THE BUDGET, WAS THAT JUST FOR NEW VEHICLES OR WAS THAT DID THAT INCLUDE YOUR MAINTENANCE BUDGET? OH, THAT DID NOT INCLUDE MAINTENANCE.

MAINTENANCE WAS SEPARATE.

OKAY. CHIEF TOBIN, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THAT TICKET RYDER EXITED FROM ALL THOSE NEW TAHOE'S.

DO YOU THINK MAYBE THAT THERE'S AN OPTION TO PATROL WITHOUT HAVING A VERBAL OR A PAPER TICKET.

IT WOULD. BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T DO JUSTICE FOR THE CITIZENS.

YES, SIR, I KNOW. OKAY.

AND SO MAKING SURE OUR STREETS ARE SAFE.

YES, SIR, OF COURSE, IS WHERE THAT COMES FROM.

NO, THIS IS BRILLIANT. SO ALL THE EXTRA APPARATUSES THAT HAVE OFF THE SHELF IS THERE AN AUCTION? WHERE DO THOSE CARS GO? SO THE GOOD THING IS, PARTICULARLY FOR US WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION TO ASK.

ONE OF THE THINGS FOR US IS, IS WHEN THESE VEHICLES REACH THE END OF THEIR LIFE, BASICALLY WE HAVE TO STRIP THOSE VEHICLES.

THERE'S A STATE LAW ON EMERGENCY VEHICLES, PARTICULARLY POLICE VEHICLES, THAT WHEN THEY LEAVE YOU AND GO INTO A REGULAR AUCTION, THEY HAVE TO BE STRIPPED CLEAN SO THEY CAN'T RESEMBLE A POLICE VEHICLE IN ANY FORM OR FASHION.

MR. CUBA AND HIS GROUP, THEY HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT TAKE OLD POLICE VEHICLES AND REFURBISH THOSE.

SO WHAT THAT DOES IS, IS THAT KEEPS US FROM HAVING TO TAKE THE STRIPING OFF, TAKE THE LIGHTS OFF.

WE SOLD FIVE VEHICLES THIS LAST TIME TO CHICAGO MOTORS UP IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

AND THEY SEND US THE CHECK.

THEY COME PICK UP THE VEHICLES AND THEY REFURBISH THOSE FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT MAY NEED OLDER, CHEAP VEHICLES, BASICALLY.

AND SO THAT'S ONE LESS THING THAT WE HAVE TO DO AS WELL.

HOW MANY VEHICLES DO WE HAVE OR WHAT'S THE FLEET SIZE CURRENTLY? SO RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY, I MEAN, SO AS FAR AS PATROL SIDE, WE'VE GOT ABOUT, I THINK, 20 VEHICLES JUST FOR PATROL.

THAT DOESN'T COUNT DETECTIVES.

THAT DOESN'T COUNT ADMIN LIKE MYSELF.

SO IN THE SCHOOL, THAT DOESN'T COUNT THOSE.

AND THEN I KNOW ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD ARE THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS IN THE ARE THOSE NOW GOING TO BE STANDARDIZED? SO THE OTHER GREAT THING ABOUT THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION THAT YOU ASKED.

SO THE WAY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SLOWLY START TRANSFORMING OUR SYSTEMS, SEVERAL OF THESE UNITS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT NOW, LIKE THE CPUS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE IN THOSE.

THOSE COME OUT AND GO INTO A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL WE'VE GOT ON A REPLACEMENT PLAN NOW WITH IT.

THE WAY WE DO THE COMPUTERS, THE WAY WE DO THOSE THINGS, THE SAME WAY WITH OUR CAMERA SYSTEM.

YOU KNOW, EARLIER IN THE YEAR WE CAME, WE GOT NEW CAMERA SYSTEMS.

[00:20:01]

SO THOSE CAMERA SYSTEMS COME OUT.

ANY OF THE NEW RADIOS WE HAVE COME OUT GO INTO THESE NEW UNITS AND WE DON'T SKIP A BEAT ON ANY OF THOSE ITEMS. SO BY STARTING TO STANDARDIZE OUR FLEET, THAT HAS REALLY HELPED US IN BEING ABLE TO DO THINGS SUCH AS THIS TO.

WHAT'S YOUR ANTICIPATED TIME OF GETTING ALL OF THEM UP ON THE STREET? SO ONCE SO THE VEHICLES, THE MAJORITY OF THEM IN OUR PLAN IS BECAUSE SOME OF THE VEHICLES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SWAPPING OUT ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING TWO OR THREE VEHICLES AT A TIME.

SO HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME WE GET ALL THE EQUIPMENT IN THAT WE NEED THE LOTS, THE OTHER THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.

REALISTICALLY, HOPEFULLY COME FEBRUARY, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE START.

WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT PROCESS OF THESE ROLLING OUT.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS.

YES, THIS IS THIS IS JUST REALLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US.

CHIEF, PERSONAL QUESTION FOR ME.

SO HAS CHEVROLET OR THESE CAR MANUFACTURERS PUT AN EMPHASIS ON POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLES? AND IT'S AMAZING THAT AS I DRIVE THROUGH MULTIPLE COUNTIES, I'M LIKE, WELL, JACK COUNTY HAS NEW TAHOES AND YOUNG COUNTY HAS NEW TAHOES AND PALO PINTO HAS NEW TAHOES.

SO HAS THERE BEEN A SHIFT OR PARADIGM? SO IT'S REALLY ALL WHEN YOU GET IN ON THE ORDERING BANK.

SO THESE VEHICLES, THESE SEVEN THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW, I ORDERED THESE BACK IN APRIL NOT KNOWING BUDGET WISE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO I GOT IN ON THE ORDERING BANK WITH THOSE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

SO THAT FIRST PRODUCTION, AS THEY START COMING OUT, I WAS ABLE TO GET ON TO THOSE.

SO IT'S REALLY FOR US AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT'S JUST IT'S LOOKING AT IT AND DOING IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAD DONE BEFORE BECAUSE USED TO, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO TO A DEALER THAT IS A STATE CONTRACT FOR POLICE VEHICLES AND WE COULD JUST GO DOWN THERE AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE GOT BUDGETED FOR FIVE VEHICLES, LET US GET FIVE THOSE DAYS.

THEY'RE PROBABLY GONE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

AND SO IT IS REALLY JUST KNOWING YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE PLANNING, PARTICULARLY FOR US IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD, KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO. THE OTHER COOL THING ABOUT THIS, THIS ALLOWS US TO DO THAT.

THIS ALLOWS US TO KNOW THAT, OKAY, IN FIVE YEARS, THESE NINE, WE'RE GOING TO BE ROLLING SOMETHING ELSE OUT.

SO THAT HELPS US BUDGET WISE, THAT HELPS US PLANNING EVERYTHING FOR US.

THIS REALLY JUST HELPS US.

THANK YOU, CHIEF. OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, SIR. I KNOW THAT WE'VE WE'VE GOT A SIMILAR COMMUNICATION THAT WILL BE COMING FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

AND THIS IS OUR ITEM THREE.

SO. WE WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM THREE.

HERE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE GOVERNMENT LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL LEASING COMPANY AND THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR SLASH CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT, RIGHT? YEAH. THAT GIVES OPTIONS.

NICELY DONE. SECOND, THAT.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSE, SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT, THAT PASSES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO ITEM FOUR, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A GOVERNMENT LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[4. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A GOVERNMENT LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL LEASING COMPANY AND THE DECATUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.]

REGARDING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I ACTUALLY HAD ABOUT A 30 MINUTE PRESENTATION TOGETHER, BUT SINCE DELVIN KIND OF STOLE THE SHOW AND GAVE YOU ALL THE INFO, I'LL JUST HOLD THAT TO MYSELF.

SO JUST MAKING A POINT.

OKAY, VERY GOOD.

IT'S THE SAME STRUCTURE.

IT ALLOWS THE MONEY TO STRETCH OUT AND ALLOWS US TO OPERATE OUR FLEETS IN A MUCH DIFFERENT WAY.

THIS VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO REPLACE WHAT WE CALL SQUAD TWO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT OVER TO THE TRAILER THAT WE ACQUIRED FROM THE COUNTY SO THAT THAT VEHICLE IS READY TO ROLL AT ANY TIME.

AND AS FAR AS DELIVERY, IT'S IN MY BAY AT THE FIRE STATION.

I ACTUALLY WATCH WOODS LOT QUITE OFTEN AND I WATCH IT COME OFF OF A TRUCK SATURDAY BEFORE LAST AND CALLED THEM MONDAY MORNING AND SAID, HEY, I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. AND IT'S BEEN DOWNHILL SINCE.

SO WE ACTUALLY, IF YOU APPROVE IT, ACTUALLY MEETING WITH OUR PEOPLE THAT WE DEAL WITH THAT DOES A LOT OF OUR FIRE TRUCK EQUIPMENT

[00:25:04]

WORK TOMORROW AND UTILIZING SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT WE ALREADY HAVE FOR THE BACK OF IT.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

IT IS A ONE TON GMC CAB CHASSIS, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE.

DURAMAX 100,000 MILE WARRANTY.

SO WE'LL FOR SURE GET THE FIVE YEARS OF WARRANTY OUT OF THAT.

DOES IT HAVE YOSEMITE SAM MUD FLAPS ON THE BACK OF IT? IT HAS THREE, YES, BECAUSE IT HAS DUAL TANKS.

SO. PERFECT.

OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL STAND BY FOR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL LEASING COMPANY AND THE DECATUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR SLASH ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.

ALL RIGHT, SO I HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSE. SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ITEM FIVE CONSIDER TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT.

[5. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR A PUBLIC SAFETY COMPUTER SYSTEM AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.]

BACK. Y'ALL GAVE ME A COUPLE.

ALWAYS GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT THIS IS THIS IS WE'RE LOOKING TO UPGRADE OUR RECORD MANAGEMENT AND CAD SYSTEM.

THE CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE, WE'VE HAD FOR OVER 20 SOMETHING YEARS.

AND AS A CITY AND AS A DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE KIND OF OUTGROWN WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR US.

WE'RE STARTING TO MOVE FROM A WHAT I CONSIDER A SMALLER DEPARTMENT TO MORE OF A MEDIUM SIZED DEPARTMENT.

AND OUR CURRENT CAD VENDOR IS JUST NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE NEED GOING FORWARD.

SO WHAT THIS IS THIS IS CSI COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS. WE STARTED THIS PROCESS LAST MARCH, KIND OF LOOKING AROUND JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS OUT THERE.

WE'VE SET DOWN WITH ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT CAD RMS VENDORS OVER THAT TIME.

AND AT THE END, CIS CAME OUT ON TOP WITH EVERYBODY.

I GAVE YOU SOME PACKETS ON ALL THIS.

A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT CIS HAS TO OFFER AS WE GO THROUGH THESE REAL QUICK, SOME OF THE THINGS PARTICULARLY FOR US WITH THEM, THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY PROVIDE IS A LOT MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.
