Public Safety <br />Captain Owens lead a review committee, responsible for reviewing current system options <br />including capabilities and costs. The committee reviewed all available systems on the market <br />and narrowed the final review to four top vendors. Axon provides a system which was <br />recommended by Metro-INET and other local departments as well as provided advanced <br />system capabilities over the other systems reviewed by the committee. <br />Public Safety Aid funds were awarded to the City and this funding source is identified to cover <br />the purchase of a five-year plan. It was originally estimated that the cost would be <br />approximately $200,000. The final cost for a five-year contract is $309,792.97. It is requested <br />that the budget be amended to cover the full purchase cost. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Motion to approve an additional $109,792.97, for a total of $309,792.97, from the Public Safety <br />Aid Funds to purchase a five-year plan for an Axon digital mobile evidence system. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None <br />Page 111 <br />
