Summary
Washington County commissioners voted to add eight security cameras to the fairgrounds, citing past vandalism and limited patrol resources; the board approved the $7,938.75 expenditure after amending the agenda to include the item.
Washington County commissioners approved adding eight security cameras to the lower portion of the county fairgrounds and authorized $7,938.75 in spending to cover the equipment.
An unidentified commissioner introduced the added agenda item, saying the cameras would cover a large section of the property and help reduce vandalism as well as free up law-enforcement patrol time. "This is adding 8 cameras to the lower portion, which is a very large section of the property down there," the speaker said, and added the cameras would "cut down on the patrols" when staffing is short.
The presenter said the total amount for the eight cameras is $7,938.75 and moved to approve the purchase; another unidentified official seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and members answered 'aye'; the motion carried.
The cameras were added to the agenda by a prior motion and vote to amend the agenda. No procurement contract details or vendor names were provided at the meeting; the item on the record lists only the number of cameras and the total cost.
The board continued with planned business after approving the cameras.
