Police and staff propose pool camera install; council votes to enter executive session on security
Summary
Officials described proposals for two security cameras to cover the community building and pool hallway and the committee approved a motion to enter an executive session to discuss security arrangements and emergency‑response protocols.
Police and staff told the committee they have been evaluating camera options for the community building and pool and recommended a small camera system to cover common areas and the hallway leading to bathrooms and offices.
Officer Fiskewil (police) asked for a brief executive session at the conclusion of regular session “to discuss details regarding security arrangements and emergency response protocols for the village.” The council then voted to enter executive session; a roll call recorded unanimous support from council members present for the executive session focused on security.
On cameras, staff described a low‑cost Wi‑Fi camera approach that stores footage and can be viewed from a phone; staff said two cameras would likely cover the main common area and the hallway and that the village is trying to avoid monthly subscription fees. Officials said one vendor recently installed a similar system for a local business and provided positive feedback on image quality.
Other security measures discussed included motion lights for park areas, improved fencing options and the possibility of free or donated systems from local businesses. Staff cautioned that the lack of site electricity in some park locations increases installation costs and that wiring or power solutions will be required for some camera or lighting options.
Ending: Council moved into the executive session on security as requested by the police chief and village officer; staff will return to public session with any decisions that require formal action.
