POLICE DEPARTMENT. 1. Bureau of Reclamation Special Use Permit — Request Approval. Commander Kufeld explained the Town of Estes Park currently possesses a special use permit with an expiration date of December 31, 2009 with the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). The special use permit allows for radio antenna placement on the BOR tower located on Prospect Mountain. EPPD implemented wireless network connectivity in January 2003 through the acquisition of a federal grant (Edward Byrne Memorial Grant) initially to provide police officers network access from their patrol vehicles via laptop computers. Subsequently, the ability for other town departments to have complete access and use of this wireless network at their convenience was incorporated within this project. The BOR agreed to allow the Town of Estes Park to amend the current special use permit "No. 9-LM-60- L4662" for the purpose of installing a wireless antenna on their tower at the Prospect Mountain site. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed amendment to the BOR Special Use Permit No. 9-LM-60-L4662. Following discussion, The Committee recommends approval of the Bureau of Reclamation Special Use Permit. 2. Expedition Bid Approval — Request Approval To Purchase Budgeted Item. Public Works Supt.
