1040 Also, in other business President Watkins stated that Police Chief, Tim Viles has presented a quote for tasers for the police officers in the amount of$25,863.60. The town received approximately $58,000 in additional Public Safety LOIT from the State due to an accounting error on the distribution in 2011 and January through April of 2012. President Watkins would like to ask for an additional appropriation of that money to purchase the tasers. Clerk-Treasurer Sandra Perry would also like to use $27,861.21 for a fire truck lease payment due later in the year. That would leave approximately$4,400 and President Watkins stated that the air cards for the police department that have been being paid by the County will no longer be paid by them due to a new state law, so he would like to use the remainder on the air cards. Therefore he is asking to request the entire $58,000 be additional appropriated to pay for those things. Councilman Mathis asked if the money could be used for other Public Safety uses if they decide not to buy the tasers and President Watkins stated it could. A motion was made by Councilwoman Perry with a second by Councilman Langley to authorize the Town Clerk to advertise for an additional appropriation in the amount of$58,000 for public safety equipment.
