Nutter Fort authorizes Homeland Security grant application for license-plate readers
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2024-03 to apply for a 2024 Homeland Security grant to purchase six license-plate reader cameras with a 10-year software license; Police Chief Ron Godwin said the grant would cover the full cost with no local match.
The Nutter Fort Council unanimously authorized filing an application to the Department of Homeland Security for supplemental grant funding to purchase license-plate reader cameras and software. Police Chief Ron Godwin told council he met with a vendor and that the supplier's quote was higher than expected, but the grant would cover the full cost without requiring a local match. The equipment package described in the minutes calls for six cameras with a 10-year license.
Recorder Natalie Haddix moved to approve Resolution 2024-03 and Councilor Rick Lafferty seconded; the motion passed by unanimous vote. The council did not record any discussion of alternatives or local match requirements in the minutes beyond the chief's note about the vendor quote and grant funding covering the cost.
