Votes at a glance: Hazen commission approves cameras purchase, transit holiday policy, retention bonuses and bank signatories
Summary
At its meeting, the commission approved a five‑year Axon in‑car camera package, raised transit holiday pay to 8 hours for all transit employees, approved $11,000 in retention/Christmas bonuses, designated bank signatories, and approved bills and financial statements.
The Hazen City Commission completed several administrative and procurement votes during the meeting.
- Cameras: The commission approved purchase of an Axon in‑car camera package and cloud storage plan for a five‑year term totaling $22,191.60. Commissioner (Speaker 2) moved the purchase; Speaker 9 seconded. Commissioners asked about live view and evidence access; staff said Axon provides an app and cloud access.
- Transit holiday pay: Commissioners updated the holiday‑pay policy for transit employees so each transit worker receives an 8‑hour holiday rather than a rotating 3/8 allocation. The motion (mover: Commissioner (Speaker 8)) passed by voice vote.
- Retention/Christmas bonuses: Commissioners approved distributing $11,000 in bonuses among four officers as a retention/holiday payment (approximately $2,100 each). Motion passed by roll‑call vote.
- Bank signatories: The commission voted to remove all current bank signers and authorize the president, vice‑president and auditor as signatories; staff will update account paperwork after reorganization.
- Bills and financial statements: Commissioners approved the bills and financial statements, including recently added items, by roll‑call vote.
Each of the above motions passed at the meeting by voice or roll‑call vote. Commissioners directed staff to proceed with contracts and publishing appropriate notices; details and contract documents will be retained by city staff.
