Town board approves Verizon Connect contract for dash and body cameras, flags budget gap
Summary
The Town of Alexandria board voted to approve a Verizon Connect contract to equip vehicles with dash and body cameras, but members noted the cost was not in the current budget and will likely be billed in 2026, requiring a budget amendment.
The Town of Alexandria Town Board voted to approve a Verizon Connect contract to provide dash and body cameras for town vehicles. Chair (speaker 2) said the contract had been reviewed by Andy Silver and presented by Zack; a motion to approve was made by Tim and seconded by Jean, and the board carried the motion by voice vote.
Board members discussed funding, noting the contract cost was not included in the current year's budget and would likely be billed in 2026. "That's for the cam, dash cameras," the Chair said while confirming the item for the minutes. Members agreed the cost would probably require a budget amendment when it is billed next year.
The board recorded no further conditions on the contract at the meeting and approved the motion by voice vote. The town will determine the specific budget source early in 2026 once invoices are issued and staff can present an amendment if required.
