Official:Authorizing the Public Property Commissioner and the Procurement Commissioner, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, to enter into an agreement with Motorola, Inc., for Motorola to design, build, install, optimize, and maintain facilities and equipment for the upgrade of the City's 800 MHz trunked municipal radio communications system; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: December 11, 2008
: Committee on Technology and Information Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill authorizes a four-year contract with Motorola to upgrade Philadelphia's radio communication system from an older technology to a newer, more efficient one.
