Part of the update included a readiness plan to provide for emergency procedures should an <br />international situation worsen to the point where a break in relations may occur. <br />The police department completed the updates to existing manuals held by the department heads <br />in the city and public works divisions of Long Lake, the Long Lake Fire Department, Spring <br />Park, Minnetonka Beach, and Orono. <br />The sum of the grant is S6.365. Approximately $300 was spent on printing costs. The police <br />department proposes to replace its video recording system with the remaining funds. The curr.. :t <br />tape recording video system monitors the interior and exterior of the building, and includes audio <br />monitoring of the jail area. It is in need of frequent repairs and the maintenance costs are higher <br />than the value of the system. <br />Two bids were obtained for digital video recording systems with audio monitoring. The bid from <br />Honeywell totaled $9,450 and Floyd Security totaled $5,550. The police department has met w ith <br />the representative from Floyd Security and wishes to purchase the system from Floyd. <br />The purchase of the system was not included in the capital expense spending plan, however it <br />was made available through the grant. Providing a secure facility is consistent with the objectives <br />of emergency management. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to accept Hennepin County Emergency Management Grant <br />Motion for budget adjustment to approve purchase of the Floyd digital video recording system <br />9 <br />i
