VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Michael Janonis provided an overview of the request from
Police Chief Eddington to purchase 25 Mobile Video Recording Systems for the
Police Department. The in-car video camera systems will be used to record all
traffic stops.
Mr. Janonis stated the Police Department had evaluated several systems all of
which record data in a digital format. Through the evaluation process it was
determined that the L-3 Communications Mobile Vision system would best meet
the needs of the department.
Police Chief Eddington then responded to several questions from Trustee
Hoefert and Trustee Corcoran regarding the technology and reliability of the
cameras. There was concern with the down of time of a police squad car
because its camera wasn't working.
Chief Eddington responded that while the cameras are known to be quite
rugged the purchase of an additional back-up camera was included in the
request. Chief Eddington stated the change-out time and other related down
time associated with the recording systems would be closely monitored.
Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved to approve the request
to purchase twenty-five (25) Mobile Video Recording Systems in an amount not
to exceed $167,600.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn, Skowron
Nays: None
Motion carried.
Referencing the memo from Fire Chief Mike Figolah, Mr. Janonis provided an
overview of the Fire Department's request to purchase forty (40) self-contained
breathing apparatus units (SCBA). The department's current SCBA units do
not meet the current standards for breathing apparatus; the SCBA units are
used to provide clean air when firefighters enter toxic atmospheres. The
proposed SCBA units meet current standards and provide both an audible and
visual alert if a firefighter becomes trapped or disabled.
Deputy Fire Chief John Malcolm added that SCBA units would be purchased
with funds from a federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant the Department
