Body
BACKGROUND:
The contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc was originally approved on June 01, 2021, for a 10-year contract.
For FY2026, Council approved the increase of 7 licenses for the Fire Department to outfit 7 personnel on the Police Department’s current system. The annual cost for the first year will be $29,682.74 and $20,406.88 for the remaining contract years.
Council approved the addition of 1 sworn personnel (Sergeant) for the Police Department, including an additional taser, body camera, software license and vehicle fleet camera. This addition will cost $7,001.44 annually.
In addition, the Police Department will reallocate existing funding to install vehicle fleet cameras in two Volunteer vehicles. The annual cost for the first year will be $7,376.46 and $5,071.31 for the remaining contract years.
The combined contract increases for the first year will be $44,060.64 with a total contract increase of $173,979.16.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the increase of Fire Department and Police Department items has been previously approved by the City Council in the FY2026 budget or will come from reallocating existing funding.
The first-year increase for the Fire Department licenses and the Police Department vehicle cameras reflects a prorated amount, as implementation will occur prior to the annual contract term beginning in June.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Consider a resolution authorizing the City manager to execute an amendment to the contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc, for additional tasers, body cameras, vehicle fleet cameras, and software licensing, increasing the annual expenditure to an amount not to exceed $639,609.64 for a revised contract amount not to exceed $5,796,273.16.
