Wyoming council approves five‑year Axon contract for body‑worn cameras and unlimited cloud storage
Summary
The City of Wyoming approved resolution 25874 authorizing a five‑year contract with Axon for 10 body‑worn cameras, unlimited cloud storage, hardware refreshes at 2.5 and 5 years, and warranty coverage; total contract cost cited as $59,796 with annual payments of $11,959.
The City of Wyoming council approved a five‑year agreement with Axon Technologies for body‑worn camera equipment and services under resolution 25874.
Staff member Mr. Lynwood told the council the city’s current five‑year contract from 2020 is expiring and totaled roughly $48,575.97. The proposed agreement covers 10 Axon body‑worn cameras, unlimited cloud storage for recorded footage, participation in Axon’s TAP program that refreshes hardware at the 2.5‑ and 5‑year marks, and warranty coverage for the contract term. Mr. Lynwood said the recommended total expenditure for the five years is $59,796, with an annual payment of $11,959 to be budgeted through 2029.
Council members asked questions about budgeting, program benefits, and what would happen if an additional officer were added during the contract term. Mr. Lynwood said the 2026 budget includes the annual payment and that staff has not yet determined an exact per‑additional‑camera price; he estimated an incremental cost roughly in the $1,100–$1,200 range per additional camera but said he had not confirmed figures with the police chief.
Member Joerger asked how much of the increase reflected unlimited storage versus other contract features. Mr. Lynwood said he did not have a detailed cost breakdown but indicated storage needs and the TAP refresh plan were key drivers alongside general vendor cost increases. He also reported the city had not depleted its prior limited storage allowance but had been “significantly close” and that Axon had allowed some leeway under the earlier contract.
Council Member Luger moved to approve the resolution; Council Member Anstead seconded. The motion carried and the council approved the contract; the transcript does not include a roll‑call vote tally.
The contract authorizes staff to enter the Axon agreement and budget the annual payments through 2029. Council did not record further conditions or amendments in the public record at the meeting.
