PURCHASE OF VIDEO AND CAMERA EQUIPMENT - UTILITIES DEPT. The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/3/88: TO: THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTIL ERVICES FROM: CHARLES P. BALCZUN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR JOHN FREDERICK LANG ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SEICES SUBJECT: VIDEO AND CAMERA EQUIPMENT DATE: MARCH 3, 1988 BACKGROUND The Department of Utility Services is embarking on several large wastewater treatment and sewer projects. There will be controversial restoration work in the Rockridge Wastewater System project as there has already been in the Gifford Wastewater System project. To prevent discrepancies and controversy, the Department proposes to purchase a VHS Camcorder, a VHS VCR, a 19" Color TV, an automatic 35mm single lens reflex camera with built-in flash, a 35-70mm lenses, a 70-210mm lenses, and protective equipment to include protective lenses, filters, and hard travel cases. The Department currently possesses a library of sanitary sewer VHS Millings. We do not, however, have the means to view them. The Department is also responsible for franchising cable television and viewing recordings of alleged poor service. The cost of obtaining the equipment necessary to pictorially document controversial situations would be less than $2,500.00. RECOMMENDATION The Department recommends purchasing these items of video• and camera equipment to prevent the possibility of any disagreement about conditions existing at easements or during inspections. We would like the funding for this equipment to be charged to the following projects: GIFFORD SEWER SYSTEM PROJECT ROCKRIDGE SEWER SYSTEM PROJECT NORTH COUNTY WASTEWATER SYSTEM PROJECT DIVISION OF FRANCHISE ADMINISTRATION ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by.
