The cost to Coquitlam will be approxima LY
$400,000.00 which can be amortized over a 10 ir
period. This cost relates to payment for equi ft
only and would, of course, pe shareable with ort
Coquitlam. I suspect that the annual cost wou.i be
about $80,000.00 with approximately 2/3 or $54,000.00
being paid annually by Coquitlam.

In speaking with officials of the R.C.M.P. it was
in@icated that essentially we have no choice as to
providing the equipment as the current equipment
could fail in the near future and ouc Detachment
would be unable to cope should this happen. I£ we
did not approve, it would appear that gome action
would be taken to impose the system and the cost.

The ceason that approval in principle is being sought
at this time is to give the Federal Treasury Board 4
sense of security in approving expenditures for the

equipment.

It was also indicated to us that the proposed
equipment could be installed in our existing facility
and that it is not expected additional staff will be
required to be added to our ataff complement. Some
re-assignment of duties will be required and this may
invelve some reclassification.
