Zillah Council authorizes 10-year AXON contract to replace aging police camera system
Summary
Council approved Resolution No. 2024-56 authorizing the Mayor to enter a 10-year contract with AXON to replace Zillah Police Department's in-car and body camera systems; staff outlined a payment schedule including an initial 2% payment ($5,429.58) on delivery and higher percentages in later years.
The City Council unanimously authorized the mayor to sign a 10‑year contract with AXON to replace the Zillah Police Department's current in‑car and body camera system. Police Chief Tim Quantrell and staff told council the department's existing system with Motorola/Watchguard is over 14 years old, will be phased out, and will require replacement by the end of the current contract in 2025.
Staff provided a projected payment schedule: AXON requires 2% of the total contract paid upon delivery and installation (listed in the minutes as $5,429.58); Year 2 estimated payment (8%) is $21,283.95; Years 3–10 (11.2%) estimate $30,541.59 and include technology refreshes at Years 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 9. The minutes note a final 2025 Watchguard payment of approximately $15,000 remains under the current contract and is included in the FY25 budget.
