Mr. Cox moved for adoption of the Ordinance on emergency and Mr. Mihalkanin seconded the motion. Mr. Gilley explained the money for this project was from fund balance because we were not sure of the timing or precise cost involved. He explained the City is purchasing the radio equipment and leasing the infrastructure from LCRA. The Council requested Items 12.D.(5) and 12.D.(9) be discussed in conjunction with this Ordinance at this point in the meeting. Mr. Guerra asked if $671,000 was the total cost of the program, plus $6,250.10 per month. Mark Minnick stated that was correct. Mr. Minnick explained LCRA was a community link program and explained in detail the radio equipment trunk. Ms. Hughson stated she felt the City should have done an RFP. Tom Bonn, Motorola, stated they never received an RFP or a set of specifications and their initial proposal was for a five channel system. Mr. Mihalkanin stated he prefers that the Ordinance be considered on three readings. Mr. Gilley stated there are several pieces to this package and that was the condition for the emergency. Mr. Gilley explained this could be considered on three readings; however, he would have to ask Banc One if they will allow us additional time at a fixed interest rate. Ms. Hughson moved to amend the Ordinance to three readings to allow for the money to be put in place and drop LCRA until further discussion. Mr. Cox seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Council then voted for approval of the Ordinance on first reading.
