Board says vendor is withholding camera access as company reorganizes
Summary
Waverly's Chair reported the town lacks promised access and training for cameras after the vendor announced a name change to Corebytes and began rewiring and using wireless links; the board said it will withhold payment until access and training are provided and will require signage before activation.
Waverly ' The town reported continued dispute with a private camera vendor that the board says has not provided promised access or training.
The Chair told the board the contractor is changing its legal name to Corebytes (referred to in parts of the transcript as Corbiance/Corebytes) and moving administrative operations out of state. "So we're still at loggerheads with this because he has not given the town access to the cameras," the Chair said, adding that the original contract included training "on how to do this" and that training had not been delivered.
Members described technical measures the vendor used after removing pole wiring without clarified permission from pole owners; the vendor reportedly attempted to replace wired links with wireless/radar point-to-point transmissions. Several members urged withholding payment until the town is granted full access and requested that signs be posted at buildings before cameras are activated. The Chair said one of the vendor's people produced a beta tape that was later shared with the town.
Why it matters: Camera access and vendor compliance affect municipal ability to operate and maintain a town-owned surveillance system and to exercise oversight over contracted services.
What comes next: Board members said they will not authorize payment until training and access are provided, will require signage before any new activations and will pursue written contract remedies; no formal enforcement action was recorded in the meeting transcript.
