T.P. Rural Fire Protection District No. 2 approves Samsara vehicle-camera contract with first-year cost of $29,476.58
Summary
Commissioners authorized purchase of vehicle cameras from Samsara with a first-year payment of $29,476.58 and recurring annual payments of $28,800; the motion passed on roll-call with one commissioner absent.
The T.P. Rural Fire Protection District No. 2 board approved a multi-year vehicle-camera arrangement with vendor Samsara at its July 28, 2025 meeting in Amite.
Commissioner Darrell Sinagra moved and Commissioner Joseph Havis seconded a motion to approve purchase of vehicle cameras from Samsara with a first-year payment of $29,476.58 and annual payments of $28,800 thereafter. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with every member present voting YEA; Commissioner David Vial was recorded as absent.
The amount listed in the minutes is explicit: a first-year payment of $29,476.58 and recurring annual payments of $28,800. The minutes do not specify the funding source (general fund, grant, or line-item account) or the number of vehicles to be equipped. The board recorded a follow-up task to finalize contract and payment arrangements and noted reporting back to the board on implementation scheduling.
Because the minutes list recurring annual costs, this procurement creates an ongoing budget commitment for the district. The minutes indicate the board approved the contract but do not include additional implementation details such as installation timeline, warranty terms, or the department responsible for ongoing payments; those items will require administrative follow-up.
