At the April I9, <br /> 2004 meeting of the Council, I asked more information on the request for $720,000 by your <br /> Department for the 700 Megahertz Conversion. <br /> I understand that the total cost for the 700 Megahertz Conversion along, with the 700 <br /> Megahertz Communication System and the Microwave Relocation and System Renovation, is <br /> estimated at over $59,000,000. These kinds of expenditures deserve carefiil analysis, particularly <br /> in this case where this change to a 700 Megahertz system appears to have been made without <br /> adequate information provided to the Council. <br /> Please provide me with a written summary as to why the Police Department is moving <br /> from an 800 Megahertz conversion to a 700 Megahertz conversion. Also, please be prepared to <br /> answer any questions the Council may have at its meeting on May ] 9, 2004. <br /> Your assistance is greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Gary f •ik, ice Chair <br /> Comm~ittee on Finance <br /> Dia~trirt I" Punu tilcil<ai <br /> lluia~i'i Cn~ii~lp is crn Eyi~ul (7~gn~i~nuiin~ Prandcr wid 6mplol yr <br /> ATT.
