Agenda Item No. 6A. West DPS facility construction progress report. Director of Public Safety
Rick Black reported that progress was continuing in a timely manner on the West DPS site. Staff
expects to start moving into the facility the week of March 18, and hopes to have a grand opening
celebration March 2, from 10:00 - 3:00 p.m. (rain date would be the following Saturday).
Agenda Item No. 6B. Progress Report - FF & E for West DPS facility. Director Black reported
that staff developed the specifications for the furniture needs of the facility instead of using the quote
provided by PSA at $218,012. Staff has estimated a cost of $144,164.15 for furniture, fitness
equipment, paging/speaker system, emergency radio system, CCTV system, and
computers/printers/monitors. The budgeted amount allocated for FF&E is $152,000. Staff hopes to
use the remaining balance in the contingency fund to purchase a television for the day room and
signage for the interior portion of the building.
Agenda Item No. 7B. Budget amendment for consultant to prepare radio plan. Director Black
commented that staff is requesting approval of funding in the amount of $19,500 for Trott
Communications Group to develop a strategic plan for radio communications and approval to amend
the current operating budget to reflect the request. Director Black explained that there have always
been serious problems with complete radio coverage for Southlake from both the Fort Worth system
and Denton system. Staff has determined that due to the complexity of the radio issues and available
technology, a consultant with expertise in radio systems is necessary to identify which system provides
employees with the safest and best coverage available. A strategic plan needs to be developed to
implement a city wide radio system with emphasis on public safety. Technical Services Manager
Gary Gregg was present to answer technical questions. He commented that a complete reference
check was conducted and he would recommend that Trott Communications Group be hired. John
Stuart, President of Trott Communications Group also was available to answer questions, and he
assured the Board that several different options would be addressed in their report.
Motion was made to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $19,500 for Trott
Communications Group to prepare a radio plan.
