Officer Bronn presented a request for Royal City to allow him to join the regional Tactical Response Team. The minutes record initial outfitting costs estimated at $15,000, a required one‑week class, a one‑year probationary period, and an annual training commitment of 232 hours; the minutes also note Bronn would be the only TRT member in south Grant County if approved. Moses Lake team lead Officer Caleb Martin attended to answer questions. Council did not take action and left the item for further discussion at the next meeting.
Chief Rodriguez also presented a proposal to install six Flock Safety license‑plate cameras around town; the minutes list a recurring cost of $18,000 per year and an installation fee that may apply (noted as $3,900). The council did not vote on either request and scheduled the items for additional review at the next meeting.
