Police chief presents Tahoe camera-equipment proposal; attorneys to review contract
Summary
Chief John Giles presented a proposed camera system for the department Tahoe, citing multiple price figures and saying he will send the contract to the city attorneys for review; commissioners deferred funding decisions pending legal review.
Police Chief John Giles briefed the commission on a proposed camera system for the department's Tahoe during the Oct. 28 meeting, reporting multiple price figures and asking the commission to review funding options.
Chief Giles: "Camera equipment for the Tahoe will be $6,178 per year for 3 years and it's good to use for 5 years. It is $283.90 a month for 5 years. It's $17,000 in total. It is no extra cost to add it to the county's servers that the body cams are on." He told commissioners he would forward the contract to both City attorneys, Joe Hoffman and Zach Osborne, for legal review.
Mayor Jennifer Jones and Commissioner Cody Meadows discussed the equipment's merits and funding sources but took no vote. Chief Giles also reported continuing parking complaints and said he had spoken to a county contact about potential traffic issues related to a planned road closure for Trick-or-Treat.
The minutes record inconsistent numerical descriptions of the camera cost; the commission directed attorneys to review the contract and deferred a funding decision until after legal review and additional budget discussion.
