Board approves license‑plate readers with state grant funds; county match about $26,005
Summary
Camden County approved purchasing two message‑board trailers equipped with license‑plate readers from Millennium Products; the equipment is funded primarily by a GEMA state homeland‑security grant with roughly $26,005.05 in required county match drawn from the grant‑match budget.
Chris Fitt, speaking for the Camden County Sheriff’s Office, asked the board to approve purchasing two message‑board trailers equipped with license‑plate readers (LPRs) from Millennium Products under GSA/State contract pricing. He said the purchase is largely funded by a Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency (GEMA) grant, with approximately $26,005.05 in county match required and available from the grant‑match line item approved earlier.
Commissioners confirmed the match amount and that the purchase follows contract pricing. After a motion and second, the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
Why it matters: LPRs are surveillance‑capable devices that can support law enforcement operations. The board noted the financing comes mostly from grant funds with a limited county match. County officials said the vendor relationship was previously established and the purchase is on a GSA/State contract.
What’s next: The Sheriff's Office will complete the purchase and proceed with deployment under grant terms.
