The Alameda Police Department is seeking an $80,000 grant to update its patrol boat.
The new boat, 19 feet to 21 feet in length would come with a trailer and would replace a 2001 Almar boat and trailer; the grant is backed with federal funds.
Alameda City Council will review and vote on the matter next Tuesday, January 6th, at its first regular meeting of the year.
How much are we paying Perata to find this money? And why don’t they just use the ill-conceived Fire Boat that sits ildle 99% of the time?
