RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:
On November 6, 2018, City Council authorized the execution of a Cooperative Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. (Axon), for In -Car Video
Equipment, Interview Room and Related Equipment and Services in the amount of $1,200,000.00 (M&C P-12271). The M&C P-12271 authorized
an administrative increase in the amount up to $100,000.00 that did not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds had been
appropriated. The Purchasing Division exercised the authorized administrative increase of $100,000.00 in August of 2019 at the request of the
Fire, Municipal Courts and Police Departments. This administrative increase resulted in a new annual agreement amount of $1,300,000.00.
Staff recommends increasing the authority under the Agreement by $300,000.00 for an annual agreement amount of $1,600,000.00. The increase
in contract authority will allow the Fire, Municipal Courts and Police Departments to acquire or replace obsolete interview room equipment, fleet
equipment, video equipment and related maintenance and storage with Axon's integrated evidence solution.
