FINANCE COMMITTEE
PAGE TWO
The request of the Police Department to transfer $10,000 from Line
item 1377 (radio equipment repair) to Line Item 1322 (criminal
justice information system) was reviewed. This money would be used
for the purchase of a new disc drive and related equipment necessary
for the day to day operation of the records system of the computer.
The $10,000 in the radio equipment repair line item category is not
expected to be used during the remainder of this fiscal year. This
transfer is not anticipated to overspend the Police Department Budget
but merely allow them to make an unanticipated purchase from a line
item that otherwise would have carried a balance over. It was moved
by Seeber, seconded by Miller that authorization for this transfer be
approved. Motion carried.
The request of the Police Department to purchase office furniture and
equipment from the State of Iowa, Department of General Services, in

retail price of the chairs would be $9,672, resulting in a savings to
the City of $4,352.40. Mr. Seeber stated that he and Chairperson
Dowie felt very strongly that such merchandise should be purchased
from local vendors and that this should be brought up for discussion.
Councilperson Budak stated that these chairs could have bean bought
during the Rath auction. Chief Shook stated that the Finance
Committee had authorized a previous purchase through the State of
Iowa. Councilperson Miller also stated his belief that such items
should be purchased locally. It was moved by Seeber, seconded by

State of Iowa as requested. Motion carried.
