Council approved a five-year contract to acquire police body and vehicle cameras with annual payments of $7,147.12 instead of a single upfront payment of $35,735.60; vote was 6-0.

The Mount Carroll City Council voted to purchase police body and vehicle cameras via a five-year contract that carries annual payments of $7,147.12. Alderman Doug Bergren outlined two options: pay the full amount of $35,735.60 up front or select a five-year contract with annual payments; Alderman Jeff Soenksen moved to approve the five-year contract and Alderman Paul Kaczmarski seconded. The contract option passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote.
