Our next order this evening, order 2021-45, acceptance of the Burn Justice Assistance Grant, local law enforcement in the amount of $4,350 for the purchase and mounting of access points to support uploading of in-car audio and video recordings.

▶ 52:03 Speaker 1: you hear us we can't hear you but to see your mouth over chief like a saturday night live skit

▶ 52:23 Speaker 1: where'd you go that should work can you hear me we can hear you but we can't see oh there you are

▶ 52:30 Christopher Cinella: Would you like to speak to this grant?

▶ 52:34 Speaker 4: Certainly. We applied for this grant earlier this year. The cap was 40,000. We applied for 39,900. Unfortunately, they shared this pretty well. We went up with 43,500 to support Wi-Fi system access points on the outside of the building, actually the rear of the building. In the event that we purchase in-car video, it would automatically download and upload to the Cloud to our vendor directly, supporting the PD. Any requested information from that will be done through the vendor and make it simple for us.

▶ 53:14 Speaker 4: There is a financial impact to the city on this. It's $2,637. My assistant, Kim Upton, had sent an e-mail to Kristen this afternoon. I hope you all got it.

▶ 53:30 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm available for questions.

▶ 53:31 Speaker 1: We have Councilor Garipay.

▶ 53:35 Speaker 4: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Chief Lyle, for being here. I just wanted to follow up on the information that you sent. What was the change? It's not a large dollar amount, but what was the result of the change that we've got this afternoon compared to what was submitted? What was the reasoning for that? Initially, we were working with our IT department on the project to set up the Wi-Fi booster system for the exterior of the building. We based our numbers off of what Neil was coordinating with me, and ultimately, when we got our vendors, the numbers were higher than what we were awarded. we did get a lower number but after speaking with neil he felt that the middle vendor was the best vendor to use because he felt that the other number was low and they were going to be looking for add-ons to do additional work that may not be in the scope okay uh thank you very much that
