Item No: 8C <br />MourmS VIry <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Meeting Date:06/24/2024 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Ben Zender, Chief of Police <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9941, Approving the Purchase of (2) M500 <br />In- Car Camera Systems and (13) V700 Body Worn <br />Cameras. <br />Introduction: <br />The Police Department is due to upgrade our in -car camera systems and our body worn <br />cameras. <br />Discussion: <br />The department is requesting the purchase of (2) M500 in -car camera systems and (13) <br />V700 body worn cameras. <br />The Mounds View Police Department as well as the public deserve to have reliable <br />video evidence camera systems. The physical server was replaced in October of 2023 <br />and the additional video footage migration from the physical server to the cloud was <br />completed in February of 2024. This will allow the Mounds View Police Department to <br />begin replacing the old in -car camera systems and the body worn cameras along with <br />additional equipment as necessary. <br />The old Vista body worn cameras are compatible with the cloud, however, Motorola is <br />phasing out the old Vista body cameras and the 4RE in -car camera systems which we <br />currently have. The newer M500 in -car camera systems and the new V700 body worn <br />cameras are compatible with the cloud. <br />The upfront cost for hardware, accessories, and implentation will be approximately <br />$21,418.00 for the first year with each of the next 4 years costing approximately <br />$14,988.00 annually. The total purchasing cost of (2) M500 in -car camera systems and <br />(13) V700 body worn cameras costs approximately $81,370.00 for 5 years with the <br />initial year being paid from Account 480-4200-3030 (2023 Public Safety Aid money) <br />and the next 4 years being paid from the operating budget (100-4200-3030). <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of (2) M500 In -car camera systems and <br />(13) V700 body worn cameras. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Ben Zender <br />Chief of Police <br />
