The Administration Public Works Committee voted on Dec. 8 to advance item A22, the proposed contract to procure a police body-worn camera program, to the full City Council with a neutral recommendation.

A committee member moved to send the contract to council and explicitly suggested saving debate for council consideration, saying they would “advance this to council with a neutral recommendation and, save the debate until we get to council.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; no substantive committee debate on the contract occurred that evening.

The item was described in the meeting record both as a contract with Axon Enterprise (in the consent-agenda description) and later as presented in the motion text. The committee’s action was procedural: forwarding the matter to council rather than approving a final contract in committee. Council will receive the item with a neutral recommendation from the committee and will conduct any further debate and a recorded vote.
