Board approves multi-year Axon camera agreement and contracts for Route 68 and street improvements
Summary
The board approved a 10-year master services and purchasing agreement with Axon Enterprises for body‑worn cameras and related services and authorized professional services and construction contracts for Route 68 improvements and the 2026 Street Improvement Program. Trustees discussed vendor lock-in and project timing; all motions passed by roll call.
The East Dundee Board approved several formal actions during the meeting, including a 10‑year agreement with Axon Enterprises for body‑worn cameras and associated evidence storage, a professional services agreement for the Illinois Route 68 CrossRock improvement project, and contracts for the 2026 Street Improvement Program.
Axon agreement: A trustee moved to terminate the village's existing master services and purchasing agreement and to authorize a new 10‑year contract with Axon for body-worn cameras and related software. Staff argued the longer term will save money, includes equipment refreshes every 2.5 years, and provides a single evidence storage platform. One trustee urged caution about locking into a long-term vendor agreement as the market evolves; another trustee described Axon as a significant upgrade in past experience. The motion passed on a roll call with all trustees voting yes.
Route 68 professional services: Trustees approved a professional services agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd to formally design the Route 68 CrossRock improvement project. Consultants will include an 8‑foot‑wide crosswalk and examine options such as a connector to reduce circuitous travel; IDOT permitting will be required for crosswalk and corridor changes. The motion passed by roll call.
2026 Street Improvement Program: The board accepted a bid and approved a contract with Schrader Asphalt Services to complete the pavement work for the 2026 Street Improvement Program, a project deferred from 2025 because of IDOT administrative review. The board also authorized engineering services with Gerald Veil Hines & Associates for the same program. Trustees noted lead service line replacements were completed in advance of the resurfacing work.
All listed measures were approved by roll call during the meeting; staff will proceed with contract execution and budgeting steps required for each project.
