County board OKs $77,070 tower‑site security camera contract with Motorola
Summary
Supervisors approved a $77,070.67 contract with Motorola to add security cameras at most county public‑safety radio tower sites; footage will feed to dispatch to improve officer safety.
The Board of Supervisors authorized a contract with Motorola for tower‑site security cameras that will feed video to dispatchers, allowing staff to assess alarms before officers respond.
Staff said the work leverages leftover funds from the county’s Motorola radio project and that the procurement uses an existing state/VITA contract for pricing. A staff member told the board that most tower sites are remote with single access points, which creates officer‑safety concerns; the cameras will allow dispatch and officers to see footage prior to response. The board approved the $77,070.67 contract by roll call, with staff noting the cameras will be part of the ongoing maintenance contract.
