Moira authorizes dash cameras and GPS tracking for highway fleet under Samsara contract
Summary
The Town Board authorized purchase and installation of forward-facing dash cameras and GPS tracking on highway vehicles and accepted a 36-month Samsara quote with a total contract value of $11,708.90; the board required written policies for data use and retention.
The Town of Moira board voted to authorize purchase and installation of forward-facing dash cameras and GPS tracking equipment on Town Highway Department vehicles, approving a 36-month equipment and license arrangement with Samsara, Inc. The minutes record a contract quote with a total value of $11,708.90 (first invoice $3,945.62, recurring invoice $3,881.64).
Councilman Frank Snyder moved the resolution and Councilman Adam Deuyour seconded it; the motion passed unanimously (Ayes 4, Nayes 0). The resolution directs the Superintendent, in coordination with the Supervisor, to approve specifications and oversee installation, and it requires the town to adopt written policies governing use, access, retention and disclosure of video and GPS data consistent with state and federal laws, including employee privacy and records retention requirements. The resolution took effect immediately.
The minutes note NYSDOT currently uses and recommends Samsara fleet management equipment and that the purchase complies with the Town Procurement and Surplus policy as a New York State Contract purchase (Contract #: PM69845). The minutes do not record debate about privacy specifics or ongoing data-access procedures; those policy details will need to be developed as directed by the resolution.
