Council approves $6,499 purchase for six new body-worn cameras for city marshal
Summary
The council approved a $6,499 expenditure to purchase six body-worn cameras and ancillary equipment for the City Marshal; the equipment was funded from an equipment line item that has approximately $8,000 available.
Council approved a request from the City Marshal’s office to purchase six body-worn cameras and ancillary equipment for $6,499. City staff said the purchase was not a grant match and that the Marshal has sufficient funds in an equipment line item (the line item balance was reported to be approximately $8,000).
City staff recommended the purchase as higher-quality equipment for officers, and a council member made a motion to approve the expenditure under a resolution (the purchase exceeded the staff $5,000 approval threshold). The meeting record shows the motion was seconded and the chair called for a vote; the motion carried with the clerk stating “All in favor.”
Staff noted no budget amendment was required because the money will be drawn from an existing equipment line item with available balance.
