In response to a trustee’s question about effectiveness, Gruber said he had heard positive feedback from Jefferson School, where officers and staff reported that flashing beacons draw drivers’ attention earlier and encourage lower approach speeds.

Trustees voted by roll call to accept the bid.

The chief of police told the board that the 75% figure is derived from the officer spending about nine months per year in school and therefore not on patrol. The village said the district would pay $115,888.26 for the 2024–25 year under the agreement; the contract contains an automatic renewal clause increasing the rate by 3.5% annually.

The chief said the SRO program has been long‑standing and that the village historically paid for the officer. Trustees voted by roll call to approve the resolution; no amendments or conditions were attached during the discussion.

The agreement was described as a contract between the village, corporation counsel and the school district; a district representative, Dr. Sander, was noted as having participated in drafting the agreement.","The village approved a contract with Morton Hills School District 709 to share the cost of a school resource officer; the district will pay roughly 75% of the stated cost for 2024–25, with automatic annual increases.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6175966,"Morton board approves Axon agreement to outfit two new officers with body cameras, tasers",51,140000,191000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5351845-c41678fb81ec1e1a569151d0a918e2e7&start=140&end=191","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5351845-c41678fb81ec1e1a569151d0a918e2e7/thumbnail_140000.jpg","/articles/6175966/Morton/DuPage-County/Illinois/Morton-board-approves-Axon-agreement-to-outfit-two-new-officers-with-body-cameras-tasers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175966-ddf7e44d5b2ff979d8cbab15a189309a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776327387&Signature=RQylpwkORmgHNkxxAs3lnIersUFKfPFTdAmPH~PTJfXSIegBm9y5Gx2~9pczXaQ35pEDrku5NtabYMqP7CD8msEfc8AH1QUm3Hr11rUYA17b~jMhfsnyhKDgq8IiI8DitayCl8oWiInCIgZqBcWtgMXWcHR2ksnQeTrWq0vQG5EkU0Nj2yiYDzVuqvUltgbvHz6RpvHhkZgxxctNz4MvSyKTNTkHbHLgL5TOFb~X8NvdglBABaubjnQNkxdmWT4blpxU3OQYcq2aIpOuRoC4G~m558iVWFArHbq2GIMUdUg2rv0G8jEyMROFy9SuWiUtlQd1hv2ZO~6rVp0WfAsCxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board of Trustees of Morton on June 16 approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. to add two body‑worn cameras and two tasers for two newly added police officers at a cost of $66,682.40, which the village said was budgeted for this year.

The item, brought by the chief of police, was described as an add‑on to the department’s existing officer safety plan. The chief said the purchase is needed because the department recently added two officers (referred to as officers 26 and 27) and equipment must be issued before they complete field assignments.

“This is just an add on to that and the amount of $66,682.40, which was budgeted this year,” the chief of police said. The village clerk called the roll and trustees voted unanimously to approve the resolution.

Board members did not request additional study or modifications; the resolution was presented as a budgeted procurement and approved by roll call.","The Village Board of Trustees of Morton approved a resolution adding two body‑worn cameras and two tasers under an existing Axon contract for two newly added police officers, financed from the current budget.","actionData","errors"]
