Summary
Llano County approved buying 20 M500 in‑car and body‑worn cameras with five years of cloud video-as-a-service at an upfront cost of $85,126; a Department of Justice grant of $38,787 will reimburse the county and a subscription fee of $60,996 covers years 2–5.
The Llano County Commissioners Court on March 11 approved the purchase of 20 M500 in‑car and body‑worn cameras and five years of cloud video-as-a-service for a total upfront cost of $85,126.
Commissioner Peter Jones moved to approve the purchase and Commissioner Linda Raschke seconded; the court recorded the vote as unanimous. The court noted that county funds for FY2024 will cover the upfront cost and that a Department of Justice grant of $38,787 will reimburse the county as costs are incurred. County staff also stated there will be a subscription charge of $60,996 for years two through five to maintain the cloud video service.
The court conditioned the approval on legal counsel reviewing contract language to ensure an appropriations clause is present. Officials did not provide additional procurement details or a projected implementation schedule during open session.
The item was presented under Agenda Item #11 and is intended for county law enforcement use; the sheriff’s office was listed elsewhere on the agenda as a related party for law‑enforcement items.
