The Streator City Council voted to approve a three-year extension of its lease with Motorola Solutions for body-worn cameras used by the police department.

A staff representative identified in the record as "Mister Wood" told the council the department purchased cameras in 2022, went live in May 2023, and reached a mid-lease replacement point. Motorola recommended a three-year extension that would place the next refresh in 2028 and again in 2031, and the vendor's price was presented as about $300 a year less than the current budgeted amount.

Staff said the new cameras arriving at the end of the month will provide longer battery life (13'15 hours, compared with the current 8'9 hours), addressing logistics around hot-swapping batteries and docking stations. Council members voiced support for the extension, and the clerk recorded unanimous ayes on the roll call for resolution 2025-33.
