Nutter Fort council moves to seek DHS grant for license‑plate reader cameras
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2024-03 to apply for a Department of Homeland Security supplemental grant to purchase six license‑plate reader cameras and software; the quote exceeded expectations but the grant would cover full cost with no local match.
The Nutter Fort Town Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2024-03, authorizing staff to apply for a Department of Homeland Security supplemental grant to buy license‑plate reader cameras and software. Police Chief Ron Godwin said the equipment would help manage heavy traffic on Route 20 and that the vendor quote was higher than expected; the grant would cover the full cost with no local match.
Chief Godwin described the proposed package and term: "This will be for a total of 6 cameras with a 10-year license." Councilors approved the resolution by motion of Natalie Haddix with a second from Rick Lafferty and recorded a unanimous vote. The resolution directs staff to submit the grant application and pursue the procurement if the grant is awarded.
