Larned approves first‑year funding for police camera upgrade from Motorola
Summary
The council approved a $70,000 first‑year payment for proposed upgrades to M500 car cameras and V700 body cameras, with reduced annual costs in years 2–5 and a request that Motorola contact staff at year five about contract options.
The Larned City Council approved expenditure of the 2026‑budgeted $70,000 to begin a proposed upgrade of police in‑vehicle and body cameras from Motorola.
A Motorola representative said, "Motorola has proposed upgrading the M500 car cameras and V700 body cameras for the Police Department," and council discussion centered on cost, equipment, and data storage. Councilmember Brian Carlton moved to spend the budgeted $70,000 for year one and to accept an annual reduced cost of $6,018 for years two through five; Councilmember Jason Murray seconded. The motion passed.
Mayor William Nusser asked the Motorola representative to notify city staff at the end of year five if the city wishes to opt out and suggested Motorola provide a new five‑year plan at that time. The council recorded the motion as carried and did not enter a detailed roll‑call vote in the minutes.
