RADIO FREQUENCY ALARM SYSTEMS FOR THE JACKSONVILLE POLICE DEPART-
MENT; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the adequate operation of the
Jacksonville Police Department that a radio frequency alarm sys-
tem be installed in order to provide proper protection for the
residents of the City of Jacksonville, and

radio frequency alarm system,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, THAT:
1. Competitive bidding for the purchase of a radio fre-
quency alarm system for the Jacksonville Police Department would
be costly and nonproductive, making said competitive bidding not
feasible or practical as there is only one company, namely,
Audio Intelligence Devices in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, who can
supply such a system.
2. We hereby waive competitive bidding pursuant to Ark.
Stat. Ann. ~19-4425, for the purchase of a radio frequency alarm
system and authorize the expenditure of not more than $7,060.00
for said purchase from Audio Intelligence Devices in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida.

of a need for a radio frequency alarm system and lives and property
are endangered, it is necessary for the protection of the citizens'
public health, safety and welfare, for this ordinance to be in
effect immediately. We hereby declare an emergency to exist.
