Motion to buy in-car computers for Brooklet police fails after no second
Summary
Police requested $24,034 for in-car computers to update equipment; the motion to fund the purchase failed for lack of a second and did not advance.
Interim Police Chief Sgt. Nick Garman and city staff outlined equipment needs and requested $24,034 to purchase in-car computers for patrol vehicles, citing an aging fleet and equipment gaps.
A motion to fund the purchase was made but failed to receive a second, so council members did not vote on the item and no funding was approved. The council signaled concern about equipment and staffing costs amid the broader budget shortfall discussed at the meeting.
The department will remain with current equipment until staff returns with a revised funding proposal or until budget conditions change.
