“Well, I just, because I wasn't present at the agenda review, I had made a comment over the phone, actually, regarding our police camera wall that we have. Yeah, the tech wall. So I had asked, how many actual shots, camera shots, can the wall see at one time? And apparently, they're constantly changing. Is that correct?”
City Commission · Aug 20, 2026

“Yeah. So that's what I had asked at the agenda review. Let's say at the elevator, at the crossover, at Gateway, if there was an event, I said an event the other day, but I meant a nefarious event. That immediately comes up on the camera or no?”
City Commission · Aug 20, 2026

“Yes. So I would like to second that part of what Commissioner Fabiola said. When I became a commissioner in 2022, we had 54 officers. And I said at that time we needed to get to 75. And with this great commission, we've always supported our police department. And we're at, what, 74 now? Close? Getting there. Yeah, so good. We're getting very close. And that's what we need to have full staff changing, right? Yeah. And with all the new equipment and all, we lead the state. The city leads the state. We're number one as far as bringing in new innovation. And that's what we intend to keep going…”

“So what are the warranties on these particular cameras? That's another reason to be able to have the vendor here.”

“OK. So have we had several that have been replaced? Oh, yes. Yeah. Numerous. Right. And do we have a vandalism problem in the city?”

“software creator in this instance. So over the three years, and you know how fast technology changes. I do. Do we have anything in the agreement that there are upgrades for the cameras involved or no?”
City Commission · Aug 20, 2026

“But let me tell you, because under the way technology is changing so fast and with cameras bringing in AI technology every day, I mean, did it make more sense for us to lease the cameras and then have them be able to upgrade as the new technology evolves?”
City Commission · Aug 20, 2026

“Because right now we're stuck with these cameras. In two years, they could be outdated.”
