MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 2010
TO: DAVID C. BIGGS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: SCOTT M. JORDAN, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: DATALUX MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS
Agenda Item 11
Reviewed:
City Manager
Finance Director
SUMMARY:
The Police Department recently replaced outdated Datalux Mobile Data Computers in all
police vehicles. The older version mobile computers retain value to neighboring agencies not
in a fiscal position to update their equipment. The City of La Habra Police Department has
requested to purchase several of these computers to use as parts for their current system.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the sale of five Datalux Mobile Data Computers to the City of La Habra Police
Department.
Authorize funds received from this sale be placed in the Equipment Replacement Fund #
184-80-00-6426.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$ 625 income to the Equipment Replacement Fund.
BACKGROUND:
After the completion of the conversion to new mobile data computers, staff was contacted by
representatives of the La Habra Police Department regarding the disposition of this equipment.
La Habra representatives inquired as to purchasing the older model equipment as they currently
have the same Datalux system installed in their police units. As they are unable to upgrade
their system at this time, having access to replacement parts by purchasing Tustin's surplus
equipment will assist in the longevity of La Habra's current mobile computers.

The City of La Habra Police Department has agreed to pay $ 125 per unit and purchase five
units (Attachment A). The typical surplus auction price for these units is significantly less.
Some units are selling for as low as $35. Staff suggests the combination of assisting the La
Habra Police Department during these trying economic times and responsibly returning funds to
the Equipment Replacement Fund is a positive benefit to both cities.
