Barrington board tables Axon body-worn camera contract over security language; return set for Aug. 24
Summary
Trustee Preege moved to remove and table the Axon body-worn camera contract from the consent agenda citing security concerns in the contractual language; the board voted to table the ordinance to the Aug. 24 meeting to allow coordination with the vendor.
Trustee Preege asked to remove item (c) — an ordinance authorizing a master service and purchase agreement with Axon for body-worn cameras and a digital evidence management system — from the consent agenda and moved to table that ordinance to the Aug. 24 meeting "citing security concerns in the contractual language," the trustee said. The motion to table was seconded and the board recorded a roll-call vote to move consideration to the Aug. 24 meeting.
Trustee Preege said the delay is intended to allow time "to coordinate with the vendor, and get that resolved." The fire chief noted contractual quotes remain valid through the end of the month, and trustees expressed confidence they could resolve language concerns before the next meeting. The transcript records a formal motion to table; the item will return to the board on Aug. 24 for reconsideration and potential approval if contractual concerns are addressed.
