Council Member Mills questioned the 10% markup on reimbursable expenses. In his opinion, that amount appears to be too high and he requests that it be not greater than 7%. The Mayor asked how staff came to the determination of the markup being 10%. - The Public Works Director replied that the amount included additional overhead costs.

The Chief of Police stated there are numerous incident resolution options available, - making the night stick and taser option reasonable and consistent with other agencies in Orange County. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore asked if the Cypress Police Officers have leg-mounted holsters. The Chief of Police replied that the Cypress Police Officers do not have leg-mounted holsters. It was moved by Mayor Luebben and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Seymore, that the City Council approve an Award of Contract to ProForce Law Enforcement in the amount of $30,491.26 for the purchase of thirty-five (35) tasers and holsters.
