E. REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK FOR THE EMERGENCY GENERATOR
LOCATED AT THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY BY AFFORDABLE GENERATOR
SERVICES, INCORPORATED AT A TOTAL COST OF $34,219.69
The emergency generator at the Public Works Facility has not been properly
maintained for a long period of time, further contributing to its declining
performance and need for frequent repairs. To ensure the facility remains
equipped with a dependable backup power source to the fuel station and
power to the building, staff recommends replacing the generator base fuel
tank. The adopted Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget included $25,000 from the
Fleet Services Budget Account No. 124-800-37-99-730 for the purchase of a
new generator base fuel tank. However, given the nature of the expense not
being fleet related, the expenditure is more appropriately categorized as a
facility-related cost rather than a Fleet Services expense and will need to be
paid from the General Fund. These budgeted funds in Fleet Services will be
released from appropriation. The total cost of the replacement tank, including
sales tax, is $34,219.69.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve
a purchase order with Affordable Generator Services, Incorporated for the
replacement of the emergency generator base fuel tank located at the Public
Works Facility, at a total cost of $34,219.69. Given the nature of the expense,
staff recommends utilizing General Fund dollars from Budget Account No. 124-
800-15-99-730 to cover the purchase, ensuring proper financial alignment with
the intended purpose of the expenditure. |

A. AUTHORIZATION FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) PROGRAM
AND PURCHASE OF UAV EQUIPMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $28,108.00
[RESOLUTION NO. 25-14]
The implementation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program within the
San Gabriel Police Department presents a significant opportunity to enhance
law enforcement efficiency, safety, and operational effectiveness. The
Department’s UAV program will focus on these benefits and continue to
implement innovations as the program grows within industry standards. The
costs, flight time, equipment, training, and insurance options vary for the
program but are estimated at $28,108.00 for the initial purchase and first year
of operations. Funds for this purchase will be made via transfer of $5,900 from
account 124-751-15-99-172, which was originally appropriated for the
purchase of gas masks that ended up being purchased with grant funds. The
remaining $22,208 will be funded through an additional appropriation in the
General Fund for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The project will be paid out of account
124-751-15-99-271. After year one, it will cost approximately $8,000 to $10,000
to maintain the UAV program which will be annually appropriated in the
General Fund during the budget process.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-14 to approve
the following:
• Budget amendment to approve $28,108.00 in the Police budget for the
purchase of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipment, training,
licensing, and certification.
• Purchase of the Matrice 4T from Advexure (the only local vendor and
cost-effective).
• Create line items for the annual cost of UAV Program between $8,000
and $10,000. |

food waste, combat food insecurity, and support cities in meeting state-
mandated food recovery requirements. There is no fiscal impact on the General
Fund. Participation in the FRESH San Gabriel Valley Program will be funded
