Item No: 813 MaU:: yD V 1Lry Meeting Date:06/26/2023 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Ben Zender, Chief of Police Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9758, Approving Purchase of Cloud Storage for the Police Department Video Evidence Library. Introduction: The Police Department is due to upgrade the physical on -site WatchGuard server to the cloud for video storage for video evidence library. Discussion: The department is requesting the purchase of cloud video storage for video evidence library to replace the physical on -site WatchGuard server. The original WatchGuard server was purchased in 2017. The server is out of warranty, out of date, and in immediate need to be replaced. The Mounds View Police Department as well as the public deserve to have reliable video evidence storage. Once the physical server is replaced, this will allow the Mounds View Police Department to begin to replace the body worn cameras as well as additional equipment necessary. As of now, the old Vista body worn cameras are compatible with the cloud. Motorola is not making Vista body cameras any more and are currently making and implementing the new V300 body worn cameras. The V300s are not compatible with our current physical server. The upfront cost for hardware, accessories, and implentation will be approximately $22,570.00 for the first year with each of the next 4 years costing approximately $17,220.00 annually. The total purchasing cost of cloud storage for the police department video evidence library is approximate cost of $91,450.00 for 5 years from Account 480-4160-3030 (special projects and professional services). Recommendation: Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of cloud storage for the police department video evidence library. Respectful] mitted, Ben Zender Chief of Police
