Council approves submission of body-worn camera grant application
Summary
Police Chief Mike Myers told the council the department needs to replace aging Panasonic body cameras and is applying for a governor's office grant to transition to Motorola equipment; council approved submitting the 2026 grant application.
Police Chief Mike Myers told the council the department's Panasonic body-worn cameras are nearing end of life and the department is seeking a Governor's Office body-worn camera grant for 2026 to help replace the system and transition to Motorola.
"We did have the old Panasonic cameras, and they are fading away," Myers said, arguing the grant is a good opportunity to move to Motorola systems and to acquire cameras the department budgeted to replace. Myers said the grant would allow purchase of additional cameras beyond the originally budgeted replacements.
Council moved and approved the resolution to submit the 2026 grant application. The transcript includes a stated grant figure that is not clear in the record; the amount should be verified with the city's finance office before publication.
