Sweetwater approves Axon contract amendment to add performance and auto‑tagging modules
Summary
Deputy Chief Noel Gill said the modification adds Axon Performance and auto‑tagging, 15 licenses and aligns contract timing; fiscal impact is about $120,000 over three years (roughly $40,000 annually).
The City Commission on Sept. 8 approved a modification to the city's contract with Axon Enterprises Inc. to add two modules (Axon Performance and auto‑tagging), 15 licenses including pro licenses, and to realign billing to match the city's fiscal year.
Deputy Chief Noel Gill said the Axon Performance module enables monthly, randomized audits of officers and improves training and tagging, while the auto‑tagging module integrates CAD dispatch entries automatically into video records to reduce manual errors. "The fiscal impact is another $120,000 for the remaining 3 years, so at about $40,000," Gill said on the record.
Gill said the amendment also allows the city to keep the 2024 contract rate for three added months to ease the fiscal-year transition. Commissioners asked questions about modules and budget impact; after discussion, the commission moved and approved the contract modification.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the amendment and implement CAD integration and additional licenses; procurement and finance will track the amended payment schedule.
