Next: Council vote on the resolution.
Details
Cost: the first year is about $209,000 and rises, averaging about $250,000; about $15,000 falls in the current fiscal year, covered by the office's budget, with a supplemental request for the following fiscal year in the budget process.
The Prosecuting Attorney's Business Administrator (name captioned inconsistently) said the 10-year term is year-to-year, so it can be ended without penalty if the Police Department moves off Axon body cameras, and that locking in avoids a 30 percent price rise expected in 2027.
The office had used a free licence through the police department until Axon said it needed its own.
Forwarded to Council with a favorable recommendation, 7-0; Ashley Lehualani Kierkiewicz (captioned Kirkwood and similar) asked about funding and cost changes over the term. Previously listed on the agenda.
