For City Council Meeting [June 11, 2019]
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

Title
Request City Council to Approve an Increase to the Annual Purchase Order (PO) 2019-0440 for an Additional Amount of $8,000 for Grafix Systems for Fiscal Year 2018/19 for Police Vehicle Graphics Through June 2019 for a Total PO Amount of $23,000.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department currently uses Grafix Systems for police graphics on the exterior of refurbished and new police vehicles.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The Rialto Police Department issued a Purchase Order (PO) for FY2018/19, in the amount of $15,000 to Grafix Systems.

Staff is recommending that City Council approve an increase to PO 2019-0440 for an additional amount of $8,000 to cover the increased expenses for Fiscal Year 2018/19.
