Summary
The Board approved a hardware and service amendment with Flock Group Inc. to add cameras and extend services, and approved a separate amendment for two additional cameras to improve coverage in the city's south side.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved two related amendments on May 7 to expand the Carmel Police Department's Flock safety camera network and services.
Deputy Chief Bridal Myers, Deputy Chief of Police Services, Carmel Police Department, presented the items on behalf of Chief Drake Sterling. Myers said one amendment supplements two existing cameras at an intersection on the city's south side to improve coverage and provides a credit toward the department's service agreement. The separate, larger amendment covers additional hardware and services in the amount of $159,800.
Myers described the first item as an amendment to cameras already in place and said the supplemental units will "give us better coverage in that area and give us a little bit of a credit that we'll be putting towards the service agreement." Both items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
