Board moves to read in quotes for 9‑1‑1 recorder; leaders press for dash cams and encrypted radios
Summary
Officials agreed to read in vendor quotes for a replacement 9‑1‑1 recorder and discussed immediate police upgrades — dash cams, dispatch improvements and encrypted radios — saying the recorder cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
The board agreed to "read in" procurement quotes for a new 9‑1‑1 recorder after staff obtained signed vendor quotes, with the assistant chief saying the current device "has been, out of, repair" and "cannot be repaired" if it fails. "So we need to replace it now," the assistant chief said, explaining the urgency to secure a replacement before the system becomes unusable.
Separately, Chair and police leadership said dash cams, upgraded dispatch equipment, encrypted radios and secure rifle storage are already embedded in the FY27 budget and should proceed rather than be delayed. Board members voted to accept the read‑in and move forward with the process so staff can act on the replacement quotes.
