Montrose to trial solar hunting camera for tree-dump surveillance to curb illegal dumping
Summary
The council approved buying a solar-powered hunting camera with mobile access and monthly monitoring fees to improve enforcement at the tree dump; FO presented Safe N Secure as an alternative requiring monitoring fees.
Finance Officer Nicole Siemonsma presented two options to detect and deter illegal dumping at the tree dump: a monitored Safe N Secure camera service or a higher-quality hunting camera. The council approved purchasing a solar-powered hunting camera with mobile phone access and monthly monitoring fees (Action 26-044); the motion passed on roll call with no opposition.
FO noted that code enforcement requires recorded images and that the hunting-camera option would be a lower-cost short-term trial while the city seeks a long-term solution. The council agreed to try higher-quality hunting cameras first and monitor results before considering subscription-based monitored services.
