8 WHEREAS, an inventory of equipment for the Little Rock Police Department has established that
9 there is an immediate need to provide certain equipment for the Department, and to assure that there is
10 adequate equipment for the Department to fulfill all of its various roles and responsibilities;and,
11 WHEREAS,the need to assure that such equipment is in the inventory as soon as possible is apparent,
12 and Cruse Uniforms & Equipment, Inc., of Little Rock, Arkansas, which typically supplies this type of
13 equipment,and other uniforms and equipment,to the Department, is able to meet this time frame;
14 NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY

16 Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to enter into an agreement with Cruse Uniforms and

18 Hundred Seventy-Nine and 75/100 Dollars ($340,379.75) in specialty equipment identified as needed

24 from the Seized Asset Fund, and the balance shall come from the General Fund.
