Subject

Resolution ECD 2023-02 - Approval to Surplus and Donate the dispatch furniture to the Maury County Emergency Communication District

Background

The Brentwood Police Department received a request from the Maury County ECD to acquire the old dispatch furniture following the move to the new 911 Dispatch Center in the Police Headquarters facility. Such donations of equipment with minimal value on the market have created much goodwill for the City from the smaller public safety agencies across the State of Tennessee. The Maury County ECD operates different from the Brentwood ECD in that it is not operated as a department of the county but as a truly independent agency with primary funding coming from the state. Please see the attached letter.

The furniture currently under consideration is manufactured by Wright-Line/ Eaton and configured specifically for use in dispatch centers in a hub or centralized type configuration and would likely only have value in a similar type environment. The furniture has reached the life expectancy of 10 years due to its 24 hours a day, 365 days a year use. For smaller agencies with more limited financial resources, such furniture is still considered an upgraded asset. The furniture consists of desks and platforms that raise and lower, computer monitors, stands, and consoles that house radio and electronic equipment needed for the functions of dispatch.

Please contact the Police Chief if you have any questions.

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval to donate the dispatch furniture to the Maury County Emergency Communication District.
