Statement of the Matter
Initial:(/{ Dept.Hd.
C. Atty.
C. Mgr. ~-~
The present Pol ice Department boat used for patrol of Agua Hedionda
is again inoperative. Experience has shown that it has cost $1248
yearly for the last five years for maintenance. It is not feasible
to continue to utilize this type of boat for the lagoon because of
the silt and sand reacting with the jet drive. It is imperative we
have a suitable boat for this summer, especially since we will soon
be utilizing a decibel meter for sound control. The 1978-79 Police
Department budget is requesting $4610 for a suitable outboard but
with sha 11 ow draft hu1 l . The present boat will be declared
surplus property.

MEMORANDUM
Paul D. Bussey
City Manager
FROM: Roy J. Kundtz
Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Police Boat
May 24, 1978
The Police Department boat used exclusively for patrol of the ·1agoon is
again inoperable. Preliminary check by Jim Bertelsen reveals that the
engine is frozen and it will cost $800 to repai~. Experiences have shewn
that the lagoon is too shallow for this type of jet boat operation; there-
fore, if we fix the boat and put it back into the lagoon, the same type
of damage will occur. We have held up fixing the boat for that reason.
The attached memorandum from Mr. Bertelsen indicates that our present boat
was purchased in May, 1973, for $5,250, including the trailer. Total
maintenance costs to date have been $5,443. If the $800 presently esti-
mated to repair our boat is added to the maintenance factor, total main-
tenance then would be $6,243 for five years or $1,248 yearly.
I have $4,6TO in the new budget to purchase an appropriate boat for the
lagoon. In the meantime, we have not been able to lease a boat unti1
the next budget is approved. We are not now patrolling the lagoon, al-
though our officer is present.
lt is requested an emergency appropriation be allowed prior to approval
of the new budget to obtain a suitable boat.
