On February 18, 2025 the City Council approved, on its consent agenda, a purchase order of $68,675.44 to Motorola Solutions for eight Fire Department portable radios; the consent vote was 7–0. The staff memo says the purchase is supported by a FEMA grant of $64,000. On March 3, 2025 the Council voted 6–0 to approve the same purchase as a contract with the Cook County Emergency Telephone System Board for $68,675.44, because payment had to go to Cook County rather than Motorola; the minutes say nothing else changed.
