HomeMy WebLinkAbout13 DATALUX MOBILE DATA COMPUTERSMEETING DATE: APRIL 19, 2011
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
FROM: SCOTT M. JORDAN, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: DATALUX MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS
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The Police Department recently replaced outdated Datalux Mobile Data Computers in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 to be placed in the Equipment Replacement
Fund #184-00-00-3786.
FISCAL IMPACT
$625.00 deposited to the Equipment Replacement Fund.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
After the completion of the conversion to the 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 PD'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 $125.00 per unit and
purchase a total of five units. The typical surplus auction price for these units is
significantly less. Some units are selling for as low as $35.00. 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.
