County approves up to $4,000 for security camera at Pima telecommunications tower site
Summary
Supervisors authorized up to $4,000 in unbudgeted capital to install a security camera at a county telecommunications tower near Pima after recent equipment thefts, with board members noting potential community visibility.
Graham County supervisors authorized an expenditure of up to $4,000 in unbudgeted capital to install a security camera at a county telecommunications tower site near Pima.
McCoy Hawkins requested the expenditure, saying a prior theft at another tower prompted the ask and that the county had already installed a camera at one site following theft. Hawkins said the camera “will be tall enough on the camera to watch around the town hall there area, but I doubt the highway.”
Supervisors discussed the camera’s community value beyond protecting county equipment; one supervisor said the cost “justifies purchasing a security camera for for $4,000, which is pretty reasonable for a stand alone, outdoor camera.” A motion to expend up to $4,000 in unbudgeted capital carried by voice vote.
The transcript records the ceiling amount ($4,000) and purpose (security camera to protect telecommunication infrastructure). The board did not record vendor selection or installation timeline at the meeting.
