Committee approves June purchase requests including ammunition, park repairs, drones and cloud storage
Summary
The finance committee approved a series of purchase requests on consent, including ammunition, repair work at Marshall Square Park, drones for the police department, cloud storage and equipment for parking operations; committee members asked for police to be available to answer technical questions about drones.
The committee approved purchase requests listed on the agenda, including ammunition, park repairs, drone equipment for the police department and cloud services.
Items approved (as listed on the packet) included a purchase from Eagle Point (ammunition, $18,000), Marshall Square Park repairs (amount listed on agenda; see clarifying note below), Adorama (drones for police, $21,136.35), Motorola (cloud storage, $18,750), Eusalco (phosphorus removal, $12,835.20) and T2 Systems (four handheld devices for the parking department, $15,402).
A member of the public asked technical questions about the drones’ capabilities and noted what appeared to be two higher‑spec and one lower‑spec unit; the committee had no objections to the items and approved the requests on consent. The committee asked that the police chief be available to answer follow‑up technical questions about the drone models when convenient.
No individual purchase was pulled for separate discussion at the meeting.
