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. | May 06, 2025 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 7 #A |
