Consider approval of a request to amend the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget to appropriate funds for payment of first installment to Motorola for Police Department records management and dispatch services.

The Texas City Police Department is a member of the Gulf Coast Regional Information and Dispatch (GRID) Consortium.  As a member, the Texas City Police Department will incur costs associated with a ten-year plan provided by Motorola Solutions to provide records management and dispatch services under their Premier One service.  Texas City’s share of the total cost of the ten-year plan will be $2,657,566.00; the first year fee for the Texas City Police Department is $701, 865.00.  The remainder is to be paid over the next nine years as prescribed in the attachments.

City Commission approved Resolution 2022-082 at their September 7, 2022 meeting to purchase the Motorola Solutions Premier One system.  The amount of $701,865 for one year is to be paid in four installments.  This budget amendment for $175,466.50, is for the first installment.  The remaining installments have been budgeted for in the fiscal year 2022-2023 budget.

Invoice is attached.
