Council approves one-year trial of up to two safety cameras on Jenkins Road and forms subcommittee
Summary
Council voted 4-0 to form a safety camera subcommittee (Mayor Schmidt and Councilmember Kirk Joseph) and to authorize up to two cameras on Jenkins Road at $1,500 per camera for a one-year trial.
Following discussion of an incident on Jenkins Road, the Annetta North Town Council approved a one-year trial of safety cameras on that roadway and created a two-person subcommittee to oversee the trial. Councilmember Kirk Joseph briefed the council about the incident; Mayor Pro-Tem Rob Watson moved to form a safety camera subcommittee consisting of Mayor Robert Schmidt and Councilmember Kirk Joseph and to install up to two cameras at $1,500 per camera on a one‑year trial. Councilmember Ryan McConnell seconded; the motion carried 4-0.
The motion establishes a trial limited to two cameras and caps the per-camera cost at $1,500; the minutes do not record specific camera vendors, placement coordinates, data retention policies, or enforcement protocols. The subcommittee will be responsible for reporting back to the council on trial outcomes, per usual council procedures.
