Stamping Ground approves $18,534 purchase of Axon camera system
Summary
The Stamping Ground City Commission voted unanimously to buy an Axon camera system for $18,534 in a single payment, part of a broader discussion about public-safety equipment and camera contracts.
Mayor Jennifer Jones presided over a unanimous Feb. 2 vote approving the purchase of an Axon camera system for $18,534, to be paid in a single payment. The motion to buy the system was moved by Mayor Jennifer Jones and seconded by Commissioner Jennifer Jones; the commission recorded a 4–0 vote in favor.
The approval came amid a set of public-safety equipment items discussed by police leadership and the city attorney. Police Chief John Giles and Attorney Zach Osborne participated in the discussion of camera and contract options earlier in the meeting. The commission did not link the Axon purchase to an immediate amendment to the operating budget during the session; no budget transfer was recorded at the meeting.
The meeting minutes show the commission also addressed related surveillance-contractor issues (Flock Safety contracts) and directed Chief Giles to follow up with that vendor. The commission’s vote authorizes procurement of the Axon system and a single lump-sum payment; the minutes do not specify ongoing maintenance or licensing costs for the system.
