The Torrington Board of Public Safety on July 23 approved a budgeted purchase for scheduling software from Visual Computer for the police department.
The request came during a special meeting called to order at 4:58 p.m. The presiding officer said, “This is a request, from our purchasing agent for the Board of Safety to, approve this budgeted expense. So I need a motion authorizing the police department to purchase scheduling software from Visual Computer.” Commissioner Benedetto moved the motion; Commissioner McLeod seconded.
There were no questions or public comments on the request. The presiding officer called for the vote; commissioners answered in the affirmative and the presiding officer said “Motion carries.” Commissioners Young, McElroy, Benedetto and McLeod were recorded as present for the vote.
The transcript does not specify the contract or purchase amount, implementation timeline, or whether the purchase requires further approvals beyond the Board of Public Safety. The agenda language and the presiding officer characterized the purchase as a budgeted expense.
The board moved from the procurement item directly into a separate agenda item — an executive session — after approving the software purchase. The meeting record shows the special session adjourned at 5:22 p.m.
Details recorded in the meeting minutes show the purchase motion was made and seconded and approved; specifics about software features, contract length, or dollar figures were not stated on the public record.
