[3:43] equipment upgrade for the city this is the security at
[3:47] the police department this is up here that's the camera
[3:52] and some hard drives and outside cameras they have you have
[3:56] several quotes there
[4:04] one for 22 492
[4:07] and 92 cents and one for ten thousand nine hundred eight dollars and fifty-six
[4:12] assuming
[4:39] they want to take everything out and put all the little equipment in
[4:44] and the one that they put it for ten thousand is uh utilizing some of the old
[4:50] equipment and adding new equipment to it and the one for 1 800
[4:57] um is from uh mr rocky meals he uh did the
[5:03] equipment use the equipment in the great camera system and he said i'm saying
[5:16] and we can basically utilize most of the equipment that we have there
[5:22] 1813 exactly yes you use that equipment every day i mean
[5:28] would you be working on utilizing that equipment
[5:32] yeah i think it would be worth computing and second equipment i have
[5:45] like everything we need to play back now we have to go into the uh
[5:49] dispatch area to play it back you have to assess through
[5:53] your smartphone with his own right
[5:56] so what i'm saying probably approved that's my question you're gonna prove
[6:00] this you're not gonna be coming back in the next couple of months saying that
[6:04] you need something else no all right he's gonna wait six months
[6:25] all right we got a motion on the floor to approve the low bid
[6:31] second any questions all in favor we're not all right any
[6:35] opposed none item number three is to rescind the
[6:40] january 2015 public assembly request form that is to require liability
[6:45] insurance before we address that i want to tell
[6:49] the council member that i talked with the attorney today
[6:52] because if we remove it from the form
[6:56] and and do not inform the individuals that come and make the request
[7:01] for public assembly and something happened
[7:05] and we have not informed them that they need it
[7:08] we are still alive with two ways they can get us because folks can sue them
[7:14] and if anything they they don't have insurance and their names or they can be
[7:18] sued so she suggested that we rescind it and put on the form we recommend to you
[7:24] that you acquire liability insurance if they
[7:29] don't they can't say that we didn't tell them
[7:32] any other comments anybody can question me about that
[7:36] so what we're saying is we're going to we're going to take out the requirement
[7:39] right but we're going to put in both letters and we
[7:42] recommend we strongly strongly recommend that you put your liability insurance
[7:48] for your own protection i don't make money
[7:51] all right second ask is the notion to rescind it
[7:55] and put the statement on the ground and uh in both letters right
