components on or adjacent to the property on which the police station is

WHEREAS, the Phase 1 Investments were previously authorized in the amount of
$5,341,601, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City of Rochester
that Public Safety Aid Phase 2 funding be utilized for:
Phase 2 Recommendation
Item Investment Summary
Police- AXON- SAS $370,000 This allows for the early renewal and
Esclator extension of the existing AXON contract for
records, body cameras, tasers, and related
items. This will lock in pricing and mitigate
the impact to the 2025 and 2026 budget.
Fire-Turnout Gear $140,000 This funding is part two of the turnout gear
lifecycle correction ask from the last
distribution. Currently, we have replaced
about half of the turnout needs for the
department to help comply with the new
OSHA replacement standard. With this
second allotment, we are hoping to
complete the correction with minimal
operating budget impacts.
Emergency Management $93,901 This funding allows for a vehicle
Miscellaneous replacement and investments in
Investments workstations
Fire Station 2 Dispatch $293,700 When Fire Station 2 and the Emergency
Space Operations Center was built, there was a
space left unfinished for future dispatch
use. This would allow the space to be
finished for interim use by Emergency
Management to mitigate set up and tear
down issues, further allowing the existing
classroom space to be used more broadly.
It will also position us for future reuse of the
space.
TOTAL $897,601
Phase 1 Reallocations
$20,000 From SCBA to Fire Training or Lexipol
$200,000 From Alternative Police Response Pilot
Project to $100,000 for CERT,$50,000 to
other Community Services Outreach
Efforts; $ 50,000 for Piloting 2 Flock
Cameras
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the above-listed financial plannings are approved and
the corresponding amendments to the 2024-25 Adopted City Budget are authorized.
