Sheriff: Axon body-camera contract will cost about $8,000 a year under renewal
Summary
Sheriff Russell Thornton told commissioners the Sheriff's Office plans to renew a five-year Axon camera contract that raises annual costs from $4,700 to about $8,000—attributed mainly to moving from limited to unlimited storage; he also noted a $500 K-9 donation from Rock the Park.
Sheriff Russell Thornton presented a five-year Axon camera contract to the Ottawa County Commission and said the renewal would increase the county's annual cost. "The last contract was $4,700.00 per year; the new contract is $8,000.00 per year," Thornton said, adding that the rise reflects a change from limited storage to unlimited storage and that the department has used Axon for ten years.
Thornton also told commissioners the Sheriff's Office received a $500 donation from Rock the Park to support the K-9 program. The board discussed the contract's timing but the minutes do not record a formal procurement vote or final approval at this meeting.
