Summary
Borough staff reported final upgrades to Putnam Park, including new security cameras across playgrounds and walking paths; the system 'went live' this week and staff say the video quality is strong. A delayed ribbon-cutting may be scheduled in spring.
Borough staff told the council that final upgrades and technology installations at Putnam Park were completed over the prior two weeks and that the park’s new camera system became fully operational this week.
An official reported, “This week, everything went live, and the video really is great,” and said the upgrades included cameras in playground areas and along walking paths. The speaker said public works, police and information-systems staff collaborated on the installations.
The speaker added that Putnam Park has become busier—"almost like, what you would see at a county park"—and noted that ribbon-cutting events had been delayed by weather; staff suggested a spring ceremony once conditions are better. No public safety incidents or further action items were recorded in the public portion related to the cameras.
Council members thanked staff for the work and exchanged seasonal greetings; no vote or formal authorization was required or recorded for the reported items.
