ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Staff will continue to make use of all available means of <br />disseminating information to the public. However, given the lack <br />of a local television station to provide information specific to <br />Indian River County, it seems appropriate to utilize the local <br />radio stations to the maximum extent possible. <br />The radio stations have facilities and emergency power sufficient <br />to continue operations during a hurricane except for the most <br />severe type of storms. <br />Having an individual from one of the radio stations on duty at all <br />times during an emergency will be of great assistance to the Public <br />Information Officer and relieve staff for other assignments. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the purchase of the Marti Remote <br />Pickup Broadcast Transmitter with accessories and installation on <br />a sole source basis, based on the recommendation of the various <br />radio station personnel, for a not to exceed price of $4,000 with <br />funds from the reserve DRI account.-_ Staff also requests the Board <br />approve the necessary budget amendment to appropriate and expend <br />the funds. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt this is a very minor expenditure for <br />a system that will do all of that. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved <br />the sole source purchase of MARTI SYSTEM for an <br />amount not to exceed $4,000 and approved the <br />necessary budget amendment to appropriate and expend <br />the funds. <br />59 <br />MAY 7, 1996 97 - PAl,E 974' <br />
