Board approves first‑year camera replacement; estimated equipment cost about $322,435
Summary
The board approved a year‑one plan to replace cameras in several district sites (DCMS, food service, transportation, memorial stadium) with equipment budgeted from capital outlay. Victor said the district came in under original estimates and will repurpose removed cameras where feasible.
Victor from the business/IT office presented a year‑one life‑cycle plan to replace video cameras at multiple district sites and said the equipment portion of year one is estimated at roughly $322,435.26 and will be purchased from the district's capital outlay fund using Kansas state contract No. 57813.
Victor described the work as a replacement of cameras (not cabling), noted the district will repurpose viable cameras from retired locations, and said some server/MVR upgrades will be required in data closets. "This equipment will be purchased out of the capital outlay fund," Victor told the board, adding the estimate came in below an earlier projection.
A board member moved to approve the year‑one plan and the motion was seconded and carried after a show of hands. The district said the life‑cycle plan is intended to standardize equipment across buildings and avoid the current mismatch of cameras and warranties.
Next steps: procurement under the state contract, scheduling of installs, and repurposing removed cameras into other buildings as available.
