Select Board approves five‑year taser contract and designates first-year funds
Summary
The board approved a five‑year taser package including training and trainer certification and designated $11,679.68 from year‑end funds to cover the first-year payment; the five‑year total presented to the board was $58,398.40.
The Town of Jay Select Board approved a five‑year contract for electronic control devices and related training and moved to designate year‑end funds to cover the first-year payment.
Staff described the package as a five‑year, all‑inclusive service that covers equipment, training for all officers and certification of two officers to serve as future trainers. The first‑year payment the board authorized to carry forward from current funds was $11,679.68; the total contract cost presented during discussion was $58,398.40 over five years.
Board members emphasized that the pricing resets on July 1 and that approving now would lock in current figures. A board member thanked the chief for the work in compiling the proposal. The motions to designate funds and to approve the five‑year contract were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Implementation notes: staff said equipment, training and replacement/updates during the five‑year period are covered by the contract; if legislative changes require modifications the contract covers updates within the five‑year package. Proceeds from vehicle sales were noted as a potential funding source for the police capital account but are tracked separately from the taser purchase.
