Council approves $3,700 for city hall security cameras to protect staff
Summary
The mayor proposed and the council approved spending about $3,700 to install a security camera system at city hall citing recent incidents and staff safety concerns; council discussed alternative quotes and decided on a non-contract installation.
The mayor said the city has experienced some incidents and proposed spending $3,700 to install a security camera system for city hall to improve staff safety. "I would like to spend $3,700 to put this security camera system, bring it up to speed and get it online," the mayor said, adding that the alternative would be to require appointments for in-person service.
A councilmember reported ADT's quoted range of $3,000 to $7,000 for a more comprehensive system but said ADT would not come out without a scheduled appointment. Council members agreed to a local installation-only purchase rather than entering a long-term contract or alarm agreement, then moved and approved the expenditure. The motion passed and staff were directed to arrange installation.
