Agenda Date: 9/9/2024 Consent Agenda Axon Body Camera Replacement

BACKGROUND:

The Police Department received the Small Rural Tribal Body Worn Camera grant for replacement of 27 body worn cameras and related hardware and software.

The Police Department beta tested several body cameras over the past few years. Axon is the industry standard, its camera system allows interconnectivity with the future anticipated update of in-car cameras of the same brand, and offers officer safety and evidence retention options not offered by other body worn camera manufacturers.

Axon provided a quote for a five-year contract, which includes the body worn cameras, charging stations, training, related hardware and software and cloud-based video storage for $56,592.11 for year one. The cost of $24,314.52 per year for years 2-5 is for cloud-based video storage.

The City Attorney has reviewed the grant agreement and the purchase agreement.

FISCAL EFFECT:

The grant provides $27,000 in funding toward the purchase of the cameras, hardware and software in year one. The remaining $29,592.11 is included in the Police Department budget for FY '25. The required funds for years 2-5 will be budgeted in those respective years.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Grant Subaward Agreement and authorize the Police Chief to execute the agreement; and approve the Master Services and Purchase Agreement with Axon to purchase 27 body worn cameras, related hardware and software and cloud-based video storage, and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.

ALTERNATIVES:

As determined by the Commission.
