Police ask to place two portable radar signs; board moves item to public hearing with potential 75% state reimbursement
Summary
Police requested two portable radar signs to address speeding complaints; the board agreed to move the purchase to a public hearing after staff confirmed the potential for up to 75% state reimbursement, which also would fund required enforcement overtime.
The police department proposed purchasing two movable radar signs that mount to existing speed-limit posts and collect vehicle counts and speeds for targeted enforcement. The presenter described the devices as a low-effort education and enforcement tool that can be relocated and used as a 'force multiplier' for the department.
The board discussed technical features (battery life, data download, mounting) and a potential state grant that could reimburse up to 75% of the cost and cover overtime for enforcement details. The board voted to move the item to a public hearing on August 19, where any final procurement would be conditioned on grant approval.
