Pusateri, Agent. Trustee Fitzgerald concerned about parking when the business starts to take off. Current the patio
area is not fencing in. Clerk recommended denying alcohol on the patio as there must be clear boundaries of where
alcohol can be served and consumed on the liquor license. Alcohol is not allowed on the sidewalk, which is a
public right-of-way. Mr. Pusateri plans to redo the patio area and put up a fence. He can come back to the board to
amend his licensed premise once construction is complete in this area.

contingent upon payment. Motion carried 5-0.

Discussion and possible action regarding door key card readers for the Police Department.
The system is 23 years old, no longer supported, has no updates, and cannot get any more key cards. Received 2
quotes. Interim Police Chief Hall recommended Complex Security Solutions based on their customer service. Our
IT also recommends this company. Trustee Perl stated they will warranty the material for 1 year. There is an
additional charge in the 4th year to upgrade the software; however, it is minimal as software is browser based.

Bower/Andres motion to approve the contract for Complex Security Solutions Inc. for the Police Department.
Motion carried 5-0.
Discussion and possible action regarding two quotes from Axon Enterprise Inc. for equipment and data
storage. There are 2 contracts for Axon. The one is for the body cameras, tasers, and storage for all equipment.
There are 5 body cameras that are shared between the officers and each squad has a camera. Storage of information
is located in the cloud. DA has partnered with this agency and can access evidence. After 5 years they will
replaced all fleet cameras. This quote is $78,500.36, spread out over 5 years. In 2023 we pay the larger portion of
$26,738.80, and $12,940.39 in subsequent years (2024 through 2027). We currently budget $13,000 for the
contract.
The second quote is $63,908.40 and covers the fleet camera system and K9 squad. This amount is spread over 6
years as cameras are not in stock until 2024. This year is $3,624 for gap coverage to extend our contract as it
expired in April.
