Prairie City council approves security camera upgrades after demo by police chief
Summary
Council approved a $4,318 cost increase (with a $2,000 credit applied) for a previously approved security camera project and later authorized purchase of eight new cameras after Police Chief Kevin Gott demonstrated the system.
The Prairie City Council approved a cost increase and additional camera purchases for the citywide security camera program at its Dec. 11 meeting.
Police Chief Kevin Gott demonstrated the new camera system and explained the request to add eight cameras to locations including City Hall, S. Marshall Street and Garden Square Park. Council approved a $4,318 cost increase for the previously authorized project; minutes note a $2,000 credit will apply for an incorrect product return. Councilor Derek Ingle moved to approve the additional camera purchases and the motion carried on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The minutes do not list the vendor for the new cameras or itemize per-camera pricing. The council recorded no public comment on the procurement. Implementation and placement fall under the police department and public works coordination.
