During the public-comment period, resident Randy Remrey asked the council to consider purchasing equipment to record council meetings. He said he had spoken with the City of Morrison about their experience using a system called "360 Owl" and that the estimated cost would be about $1,000.

The minutes record the request but there was no recorded motion or vote to purchase equipment during the meeting. Officials did not indicate a decision on the request in the transcript; follow-up would require staff to present cost and procurement options for council consideration.

If council wishes to proceed, staff should report estimated total cost, installation requirements and an identified funding source before a formal purchase decision.
