City Council

25. APPROVAL TO AMEND A FUNDING SOURCE UNDER THE POLICE DRONE\nCONTRACT WITH AERODOME – F2M24-6B, C2M24-18, M2M24-81\nOn March 11, 2024, the City Council approved a three-year contract with Aerodome, Inc.\nfor the lease and services of a drone as a first responder system and equipment. Staff\nindicated that funding in the amount of $65,000 was available under account number\n206.20.2010.62210 to help offset the contract costs in Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25.\nHowever, this funding source is incorrect and staff is requesting the fund be changed from\n206 (Asset Forfeiture) to 201 (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund). Since the\nCity’s Finance Procedures preclude the Finance Director from transferring appropriations\nbetween different funds, this matter requires Council approval.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve and direct the Finance Director to\namend one source of funding under the Aerodome, Inc. contract for the Police\nDepartment’s drone system; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize\nCouncil’s action.
