Waukegan subcommittee approves fleet camera system after resident questions city costs
Summary
The Public Works & Infrastructure Subcommittee approved a multi-year contract to equip about 150 city vehicles with Samsara fleet cameras, with staff saying the system will aid liability, driver training and route management; a resident said his calculation suggested the city faced a far higher bill and asked for more scrutiny.
Aldermen on the City of Waukegan Public Works & Infrastructure Subcommittee voted March 16 to purchase and install fleet cameras for public-works and water department vehicles, with staff saying the system will provide liability evidence, help train new drivers and improve route management.
The resolution authorizes joint-purchasing through Sourcewell for a Samsara system (referred to in the record as "Car-Soft Technology") with a not-to-exceed cost of $152,222.41 in year one and $119,713.30 per year for years two through five. Committee members stated the equipment will be installed on about 150 vehicles.
