HRA approves $11,482 in camera upgrades for four multi‑family properties
Summary
The Hubbard County HRA approved spending $11,482 to update security cameras across four HRA multi‑family properties after staff and D. W. Jones reported cameras were inoperable or inadequate; funding will come from HRA resources and staff said cash flow can cover the cost.
The Hubbard County Housing and Redevelopment Authority approved an $11,482 contract to upgrade security cameras at four HRA multi‑family properties.
Staff reported that property manager D. W. Jones determined several cameras are inoperable and that West Central could reuse many existing cameras but some replacements may be required. “The total price is $11,482 for all 4 properties,” a staff member said. The staff presentation described the replacement as the most cost‑effective option to restore surveillance coverage.
Board members discussed the importance of cameras as both a deterrent and a source of evidence for property damage or unauthorized activity. Staff said HRA cash flow can cover the cost but noted two properties (Meadowview and Meadow’s Edge) are underperforming relative to expectations; staff said further financial review of those properties is underway. The board approved the purchase and funding for the camera upgrades by voice vote.
Discussion vs. decision: the item included operational discussion about property management and cash flow; the board took a formal vote to fund the camera upgrades and to proceed with the vendor selection process.
