From: Captain Alan Burton, Commder Subject: Appropriation Adjustment
by: Del W. Pullen, DRCC,
i
The DRCC Operations Committe has directed me to formalize a request for
an appropriation adjustment ' f all available revenue and secure a purchase
order for PRC/PMS in that amount to begin software modifications required
for the existing system.
Attached is an excerpt from the May 10th, 1984 DRCC OpComm meeting regarding
this subject. I have also prepared a requisition (attached) in the amount
of $13,600 to satisfy the request.
The Operations Committee has repeatedly expressed a desire to expand our
system capabilities to perform other functions such as records management,
statistical reporting and remote data access. These monies will be used
to begin these projects as directed by the user agencies. A greater
efficiency and overall cost savings will benefit the entire East County
public safety community from the projects approved by the Operations
Committee.
If any further information or documentation is required, please let me know.

From: Captain Alan Burto Subject: Diagnostics Test Set for Data
By: Del W. Pullen Equipment
,DDDDDD
The attached requisition represents one test terminal for use by radio
technicians in the diagnosis of mobile radios and data terminal equipment.
The DRCC users presently own nearly 200 such pieces of equipment. Whenever
repair is necessary, the units presently must be sent to Illinois for repair
which often takes several months. Not only is the down time of the equipment
unacceptable, but using Motorola repair services is not cost efficient.
With the addition of this test set, our own technicians will accomplish
the repair in a lesser time with lower costs. .
The DRCC Operations Committee has directed me to resolve the need for
this local service capability and is anxious fora response. All costs
will be shared according to the established percentages with 23% being
County (Sheriff) costs.

Attention: Tom Welch, Deputy County Administrator -
Offi
From. William A. O'Malley, District Attorney C �S1rat0
Date: May 29, 1984
Subject: Authorization to purchase TV and Video Retarding Equipment
This department has a 21" portable TV set with a VCR unit mounted on a hand cart
in each of our prosecutorial offices (.Concord, . Martinez and Richmond) .which are used
to play evidence tapes and training tapes. , These units are ' 10 years old. Two of the
TVs are presently inoperable. All of the equipment has been repaired a number of times
during the past several years. It is no longer cost effective to' have this equipment
repaired again.
These units are used in the branch officesby our lawyers and investigators to. view
training tapes and evidence tapes which are prepared by a number of criminal justice
agencies including our office. The evidence tapes include police interviews of
defendants and witnesses, crime scene displays; conditional examinations. of witnesses
who cannot be present at the preliminary hearin g , surveillance- tapes prepared by
local law enforcement agencies and this office and security tapes of private industry,
retail and industrial locations are also shown as part of our presentation in court
proceedings.
It is necessary for either the. lawyer or one of our investigators to transport a"TV
set and VCR on the hand cart from our office. location to the appropriate court and
back. This equipment is very sensitive and does not .stand up well under being
continually -moved from one location to another. We intend to replace the hand cards
and will try to obtain new ones that will have shock absorbing features built into
.them. The VCR units that are currently being used were designed to handle the
U-matic tape. The cost of a 1-hour tape for. these 'bnits is in excess of $20. The
newer.VHS tapes now in -use cost about $7.00 each and can record up to 8 hours of video.
These tapes are much more cost efficient.
We will need to purchase :3 21-23" TVs at a cost of about $640 each, including tax,
3 VCRs of the VHS mode at a cost of about $,535 each,: including tax and believe- that
the 3 hand carts that.will .be needed should not cost more than $300 each which is
within our capital outlay authorization. _
The use of this equipment by ourtrial attorneys. in the courtroom is absolutely e
essential .to .the -successful. 'Prosecution of a :case:when real evidence .is available on
video tape and can be shown to .the judge, jurors and the. defense at the most
propitious._moment `during the proceedings.
Accordingly, approval .of these purchases is requested. , An internal appropriation
adjustment is attached. r

May 17, 1984
Mr. T. McGraw
Assistant Administrator
Contra Costa County
651 Pine Street
Martinez, CA 94553
Dear Terry:
The Moraga Fire District has had major problems with our first-run pumper
(E-41) for the last two years, mainly because of its being underpowered and
its age (12 years old) . The combination of these factors has reduced the
performance by 50%. This loss of performance has caused us to put the ladder
truck as first response in hilly areas of our District (until the pumper can
be repaired) which is about 75% of the time. We are of the position that
this unit must be repaired as soon as possible as it is needed for first
response.
It should be noted that this engine was rebuilt approximately 6 years ago
and when discussing the problems with East Bay Ford Trucks, it was -strongly
suggested that we repower the unit rather than rebuild for several reasons.
I.— The engine was rebored at the time it was rebuilt 6 years ago and they
feel a second reboring is not recommended.
2. The present engine is underpowered for the type of terrain it is being
used in.
3. If we rebuild the present engine, we would probably continue to have the
same problem and a short .life because of the underpowering.
The engine which is recommended for repower is a 1984 model and the largest
which will fit in the chassis. This repowering will increase the life of the
unit as first response by 12 to 15 years. It should also be noted that the
1984 cab and chassis are identical to our 1972 unit so in essence, we would
have a basic 1984 unit by repowering. It should also be noted that the pump
was service tested and passed without any problems.
At our Board of Fire Commissioners' meeting on May 10, 1984, the Board went
on record to have this unit repowered rather than rebuilt as soon as
possible as it is one of our first line units and is needed. For the above
reasons, we are requesting that the attached appropriation adjustment be
made as soon as possible.
00 .
We would appreciate your help in this matter and should you need any
further background information or need any questions answered, please contact
me.
Sincerely, -
E. Lucas
Assistant Fire Chief
