AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting a donation.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Wright County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) implemented a mandated update to their portable radios in 2023 causing
their existing radios to be classified as surplus equipment. In June 2024, WCSO offered donation of this surplus
equipment to cities throughout the County.
City staff communicated with the WCSO that an additional ten radios would benefit the operations of the City. Wright
County completed reprogramming of the radios for the City’s designated channel mapping so there are no immediate
costs to accepting the donation. The City has now taken delivery of this equipment and will be putting it into use.
