Commissioners vote to disable audio on courthouse and annex cameras after staff says capability exists
Summary
Following staff briefings, the board approved a motion to remove audio capability from Annex 1, Annex 2 and the courthouse and asked IT to provide quotes to replace cameras with units that lack audio capability.
Commissioners discussed whether to keep or remove audio capability on building security cameras in two annex buildings and the courthouse. Speaker 3 told the board the audio capability could be disabled in software for some systems but recommended physically replacing or buying cameras that do not include audio for liability reasons.
"So physically unplug the audio capability," a commissioner said in proposing action; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Speaker 3 said he would have a quote for new, non-audio-capable cameras before the next meeting. Commissioners asked staff to bring details about cost and procurement options and to include the item on the next agenda for final approval.
