HomeMy WebLinkAbout10-18-2016 Item 15 Donation Acceptance - Police Command Trailer Meeting Date: 10/18/2016
FROM: Deanna Cantrell, Police Chief
Prepared By: Jeff Smith, Police Lieutenant
SUBJECT: DONATION ACCEPTANCE – POLICE COMMAND TRAILER
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Police Department to accept the donation of a Command Trailer from the Arroyo
Grande Police Department. This trailer would be used by the Police Department, Fire
Department and Regional SWAT Team for emergency operations within the City of San Luis
Obispo.
DISCUSSION
The City of San Luis Obispo currently does not have a mobile command trailer that will be
utilized for emergency operations within the city. A command trailer can serve as a temporary
emergency operations center during critical incidents. The proposed command trailer will be
ready to deploy at a moment’s notice with the use of electronics, communication equipment,
computers and facilities necessary for a fully functional command center. Some uses for the
command trailer would include Emergency Operations Center, Disaster Recovery, DUI Stings,
Tactical Response, HazMat, Arson Investigation, Accident Reconstruction and possible use as a
mobile Dispatch/Communications Center.
The San Luis Obispo Police Department was contacted by the Arroyo Grande Police Chief,
stating that he wanted to donate a command trailer which his department received through a DUI
grant. They have concluded their grant obligations and will be receiving a new command trailer
from the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Department. Chief Annibali is aware the City of San Luis
Obispo does not currently possess a command trailer. If Council approves the proposed donation
Chief Annibali will continue with the approval processes through Arroyo Grande’s City Council.
The Proposed Donation

trailer comes equipped with:
a. Bathroom with functioning sink

CONCURRENCES
Fleet Maintenance and Police Department staff concur with the recommendation to accept this
donation for the Regional SWAT Team, police and fire emergency operations within the City of
San Luis Obispo.
FISCAL IMPACT
Per the City’s Donation Policy, all donations exceeding $5,000 in value must be accepted with
approval by City Council. The command trailer will enhance the capabilities of the Police
Department and Fire Department in the field during emergency operations. The proposed
donation estimated valued is $30,000. The Police Department is recommending the Council
accept this donation.
If this donation is accepted the command trailer will be added to the City’s current fleet. There
will be minimal added expense for general vehicle maintenance. Please refer to Attachment A
for the agreed maintenance fleet will perform.
Upon accepting the command trailer, it will need to be wrapped with identifying information and
City logos. The estimated cost is $4,500. This expense will be absorbed within the Police
department’s operating budget for FY 2016-17.
The Police Department will work with Information Technology staff to have a mobile docking
station installed in the command trailer, this will cost an estimated $400 which will also be
absorbed within the Police budget.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny the Donation. The City Council could choose to deny the donation of the command trailer.
Staff does not recommend this option. The Police Department has recently been looking into
adding a command trailer to the police fleet. This would be a large expense. With the donation
of the Arroyo Grande command trailer the City would be saving a significant amount of money.
