The Eagle Pass City Council on June 24 approved a professional-services agreement and the purchase of 25 mobile data terminals (MDTs) for the police department to support in-vehicle reporting, computer-assisted dispatch and license-plate-reader integration.

Staff said the department has used an earlier version of the same system for roughly 16 years and that the purchase upgrades on-board reporting capabilities and enables full use of the new license-plate-recognition hardware the city has obtained. During the meeting staff corrected the agenda number to a total of $235,020.25 for the purchase.

The purchase and contract execution were approved unanimously, and council authorized the city manager to execute the agreement.
