Byron authorizes DataWorks Plus agreement for GBI Rapid ID software for police
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with DataWorks Plus, LLC for the GBI Rapid ID device software for the Police Department; the minutes record unanimous approval and indicate the signed agreement will be on file in the City Clerk’s office. Contract terms and cost were not specified in the minutes.
The City of Byron Mayor and Council on May 12 approved a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement between the City and DataWorks Plus, LLC for the GBI Rapid ID device software to be used by the Police Department.
The motion to authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement was made by Alan Dorsey and seconded by Chris Hodges; the council voted unanimously to approve the resolution. The minutes state the Mayor is authorized to execute an agreement substantially in the same form as the attached Exhibit "A," and that the resolution is on file in the City Clerk's office at the Municipal Complex.
The council minutes do not record contract price, licensing terms, implementation timeline, or whether the council reviewed procurement documentation; those details are not specified in the meeting record and, per the minutes, interested parties should consult the agreement on file in the City Clerk's office for specifics.
Why it matters: the resolution authorizes use of GBI Rapid ID device software by the Police Department, which involves law-enforcement biometric/identification technology. The minutes document the council’s authorization but do not include contract or operational details in the public minutes.
