Recommended Action Adopt a Resolution authorizing out-of-state travel December 5-8, 2016 for one police lieutenant and one police sergeant to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Columbus, Ohio for consultation on the purchase of a new public safety command post vehicle. Executive Summary One Carlsbad Police Department Traffic Lieutenant and Traffic Sergeant will consult with LDV, Incorporated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Farber Specialty Vehicles in Columbus, Ohio on the construction of a new command post vehicle for the police and fire departments. Discussion The Carlsbad Police Department last purchased a command post vehicle in 2008 and the needs of the police and fire departments warrant the purchase of an updated vehicle. A public safety command post vehicle provides an office and resource-gathering location in a mobile setting that can go almost anywhere on short notice.It allows for planning, communications, and logistical support to be conducted on-site and close to the activity, and provides a location that is out of public view and the elements. A public safety command post can be used at planned events, such as checkpoints and the City's special events,as well as at unplanned events such as large-scale collisions, hostage situations, barricaded suspects, and human or manmade disasters.The public safety command post will also provide a basic back-up Communications Center should the permanent center located at the Safety Center become inoperable. Fiscal Analysis The cost for one police lieutenant and one police sergeant to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Columbus,Ohio including flight,rental car,lodging,per diem and incidental expenses is approximately $2,150.There are funds in the Police Department Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget to cover these expenses. Next Steps If the Council approves out-of-state travel, the Carlsbad Police Department training coordinator will book all travel related expenses. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
