Nutter Fort council approves application for Homeland Security grant to fund six license-plate readers
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2024-03 to apply for a Department of Homeland Security supplemental grant to purchase six license-plate reader cameras and software, including a 10-year license; the grant was presented as covering the full quoted cost with no local match.
Councilors voted unanimously on Sept. 24 to approve Resolution 2024-03 authorizing the town to apply for a Department of Homeland Security supplemental grant to purchase license-plate reader cameras and software. The council recorded that the quote covers six cameras and a 10-year license and that the grant application would request full funding with no local match.
Police Chief Ron Godwin told council he had met with a supplier and said the cameras would be "beneficial for the heavy traffic on Route 20." The chief also noted the vendor quote came in higher than expected; council approved moving forward with the grant application to avoid a local match obligation if the grant is awarded.
