1 8.1 Bob Barth — Radar
<br /> Police Chief Barth submitted a letter to the Council asking for permission
<br /> to purchase a Mark VI Speedalyzer. The Hugo Lions Club will pay for the unit,
<br /> and then donate it to the Police Department. The only fee to the city would
<br /> be a cost of $625 to $50 for certification of the unit. Charles Johnson stated
<br /> offenders tend to not plead "not guilty" when radar is used, as opposed to
<br /> clocking of speeders. Barth will attend an optional radar school, two hour
<br /> classes in the evening.
<br /> MOTION: Spitzer made motion, seconded by Irsfeld, to approve the purchase
<br /> of a Mark VI Speedalyzer Unit to be used by the Police Department.
