PUBLIC SAFETY
2019 GOALS
Councilman Forgeng stated that his goals for the Public Safety Committee for the year 2019 are as follows:

1. Establish a strong relationship between the Police Department and the Community

2. Explore technology to improve efficiency of Public Safety Services

3. Obtain the Hatboro Police Department’s Law Enforcement Accreditation

4. Hold an Emergency Management Table Top drill

5. Have a memorial in Borough Hall to recognize those who sacrificed their lives for the Borough.

ENTERPRISE FIRE COMPANY EXPENDITURE LIST
Councilman Forgeng stated that Council is in receipt of the December 2018 Fire Company Expenditure List in the amount of $11,608.79. This item was moved to the January 28, 2019 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

ENTERPRISE FIRE COMPANY CAPITAL EXPENDITURE LIST
Councilman Forgeng stated that Council is in receipt of the December 2018 Fire Company Capital Expenditure List in the amount of $3,534.00. This item was moved to the January 28, 2019 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

POLICE VEHICLE ACQUISITION
Chief Gardner stated that he has submitted a request to Council to purchase a 2019 Dodge Durango for use as the K-9 Unit vehicle. He stated that he previously thought about upfitting an existing squad car, but because the department needs a vehicle that will last as long as the life of the dog this is the better option. Chief Gardner stated that while the quintessential police vehicle has become the Ford Explorer, but Ford is running late on its production of the 2019 design. As a result, the 2019 models would not be on sale until July. Chief Gardner stated that the Dodge Durango has recently become a commonly used Police Vehicle as it is pursuit certified and noted
that the Dodge is cheaper than purchasing an Explorer and will be available within 15 weeks of purchase. Chief Gardner stated that the complete purchase price via CoStars is $45,728.00 and noted that $4,401.85 of this cost is for the K-9 gear which can be paid by the K-9 funds raised.

Chief Gardner stated that purchasing this vehicle specifically for the K-9 unit will allow the vehicle to last 8-10 years, the same amount of the service life of the dog. Mayor Guenst asked if there was any concern for the Mechanic with regard to the Dodge vehicle. Chief Gardner stated that he is capable of Dodge Repairs as the Borough has owned Dodges in the past. He noted that the only major difference would be stocking different tires, parts, etc. Chief Gardner stated that if the Dodges continue to be lower cost, he might continue to purchase them in the future. Mayor Guenst added that any major problems would probably be covered under warranties anyway.

President Bollendorf asked if a radio will also be purchased. Chief Gardner stated he will be taking the radio from Detective Goold’s car as he is able to operate off of a portable radio.

Chief Gardner stated that he did not include a camera system for the car in this quote and that he could seek to purchase a camera or obtain a grant in the future. President Bollendorf stated that he has a concern about having a squad car without a camera. Mayor Guenst stated that they could even use the K-9 fundraising money to help purchase a camera. Chief Gardner stated that the camera system will cost around $6,000, so the entire purchase would cost around $51,728.

Councilwoman Benjamin asked if the insurance company offers a discount for cars with cameras. Chief Gardner stated no.

Chief Gardner stated that purchasing a new vehicle will allow the department to still have 1 spare car on-hand and will give the K-9 unit reliable transportation.

Chief Gardner stated that he might be able to get the camera costs covered by the insurance company grant, if applicable.

This item was moved to the January 28, 2019 Council Meeting agenda for approval.
