Maywood postpones large police LPR hardware purchase; approves annual LPR subscription
Summary
Trustees postponed a proposed $281,889.79 Motorola radios and mobile LPR unit purchase to the February budget meeting and Mayor Booker pulled a separate $35,931 Vigilant Solutions mobile unit; the board approved a $9,995 annual LPR data subscription as part of the omnibus vote.
Two police hardware purchases were removed from the omnibus agenda at the Jan. 18 Village of Maywood special meeting and set aside for separate consideration. Item C1, a package including 60 radios and one mobile license-plate-reader unit (Motorola), with a total cost of $281,889.79, was postponed by consensus to the February meeting for discussion during the FY2022–2023 budget process. Mayor Nathaniel George Booker pulled item C2 (one mobile unit with three cameras and software, Vigilant Solutions) with a listed cost of $35,931.00.
Separately, the board approved a yearly data-access subscription for license-plate-reader services (Vigilant Solutions, $9,995.00) as part of the omnibus motion. The meeting minutes do not record detailed discussion on procurement trade-offs, surveillance policy, or community comment about LPRs; the hardware purchases were deferred for the budget discussion.
The postponement places the larger hardware procurement question into the village’s upcoming budget deliberations, where trustees indicated it would be discussed again.
