Council voted 5–0 to hire Omni Systems to install security cameras around the Village and park not to exceed $8,000, with council members citing prior vandalism and the need to protect public investments.

The Village Council approved installation of security cameras around the park and Village Hall, authorizing Omni Systems to perform the work at a cost not to exceed $8,000. Tim McCarthy moved to approve the purchase; Brian Cassidy seconded; a roll-call vote recorded five ayes, zero nays.
