Commercial Point Village trustees voted to approve a full audio-visual system upgrade, including new cameras, after reviewing two contractor quotes.

Speaker 2 presented the bids and said the higher-priced option that includes camera replacement would cost $22,447.50 and requires a 50% upfront deposit to purchase equipment. “He just needs 50% upfront so he could purchase the equipment,” Speaker 2 said.

Board members debated whether to replace only parts of the system or complete the upgrade. Speaker 1 urged the board to “go ahead and do it right one time,” arguing a full replacement would better serve public access and clarity. Other members described the contractor’s price as “very reasonable.”

Speaker 2 recorded the motion as “Motion by Ross; Second by Jay.” The council took a roll-call vote: Ross (Yes), Jay (Yes), Sarah (Yes), Ralph (Yes) and Dustin (Yes). The motion passed, with Speaker 2 saying the contractor will be given the deposit and work should be under way in time for the next meeting.

The council did not specify a funding source on the record during this discussion. The contractor’s name and warranty or maintenance terms were not stated in the recorded transcript.

Next steps: staff will provide the 50% deposit to the contractor so equipment can be ordered and will update the council on scheduling at a future meeting.
