Town and Country aldermen approve pavilion and driveway gate permits and a five‑year police camera contract

The Town and Country Board of Aldermen on Oct. 14 approved several routine and operational items by unanimous votes.

Under unfinished business the board read and voted on several bills. Bill 24‑49, an ordinance approving a conditional use permit for a pavilion at 538 Conway Village Drive, was moved, approved and announced as becoming ordinance number 4655. Bill 24‑50, an ordinance authorizing a conditional use permit for an accessory structure and a residential driveway gate at 1824 Topping Road, passed on a roll call and was reported as becoming ordinance number 4656. Bill 24‑51, accepting a proposal from Motorola Solutions for an in‑car camera system and a body‑worn camera system and authorizing a five‑year agreement with related purchase‑order authorization, passed unanimously and was announced as becoming ordinance number 4657. Aldermen expressed support and some asked whether other departments had used the Motorola system; a board member reported outreach to other jurisdictions and positive feedback.

Other items were continued to the Oct. 28 meeting, including several zoning bills related to the Woods Mill Crossing/related sign and zoning code amendments. The board also noted a warrant list in the amount of $335,383.39 and introduced a separate purchase order for a police vehicle ($43,535) as new business.

The board did not record any dissenting votes on the three passed ordinances at this meeting.
