Council discusses police camera upgrade; quote presented for $13,758
Summary
Council added a motion to accept a quote to upgrade the police station’s camera system and repurpose older cameras at City Hall; the quote amount was read but the transcript does not show the final recorded vote.
Council discussed and introduced a motion to accept a vendor quote to upgrade the police department’s camera system.
The motion described replacing old cameras and DVR equipment at the police station, relocating the older cameras to City Hall to avoid new purchases, and asked staff to coordinate with IT for installation costs. The quoted cost of materials and installation repeated during the discussion was $13,758.
Council members asked whether other bids were solicited and whether keeping the same vendor would create integration issues if other systems were used elsewhere in the city. The chief clarified that the vendor’s system uses compatible hardware (LPRs, in‑car cameras and body cams) and that the upgrade would align with the department’s Axon rollout and other in‑vehicle hardware. One speaker asked whether different vendors would interfere with system integration; staff answered the planned hardware is compatible.
A motion to accept the camera‑upgrade quote was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion and the discussion but does not contain a clear roll‑call outcome in the published excerpt. Council directed staff to follow up on installation costs with IT.
