Granite County approves courthouse cameras and panic-button system, project estimate ~$7,400–$11,000
Summary
County commissioners voted to install a cloud-based camera system and integrated panic-button controller at the Granite County courthouse after a vendor briefing. Cost estimates presented were roughly $7,400 for cameras and $10,000–$11,000 for panic-button hardware, plus monthly cloud fees.
The Granite County Board of Commissioners approved a vendor proposal to install three exterior cameras and one interior camera at the courthouse plus an integrated panic-button system. Rory of Fire Barker Fire and Safety (speaker identified on the record) outlined options, cloud storage and remote access, and installation details for historic masonry work. The vendor estimated roughly $7,400 for the four-camera package and about $10,000–$11,000 for a 16-button panic-controller system; ongoing cloud service charges were described as $20 per month (or about $240 annually).
Commissioner (Speaker 1) moved to proceed with the four-camera package and the panic-button controller; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Public commenter Justine Richmond asked whether the cameras would capture audio and who would have authorized access; the vendor said the proposed camera package likely would not include microphones and that authorization would be set by the county. "Do you want me to call the conference line...Call you here in a sec," the vendor said during technical issues; commissioners directed staff to return a revised bid and begin procurement and scheduling for installation with a target timing discussed for September.
