City Council Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020 <br />15. Consider approval of Resolution 2020-155R, approving a Change in Service to the <br />agreement between the City and Axon Enterprises Inc. relating to the Police Video <br />Upgrade Project to increase the contract in the amount of $180,002.01 for additional <br />equipment, and annual software maintenance, hosting and plan fees; authorizing the City <br />Manager or his designee to execute the appropriate documents to implement the <br />Change in Service; and declaring an effective date. <br />A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin seconded by Mayor <br />Hughson, to approve Resolution 2020-155R. <br />Council Member Baker stated that a quick Google search showed that the <br />company Axon has a bit of a controversy regarding their camera footage <br />storage website, evidence.com. He thinks we should be concerned about their <br />use and distribution of this footage especially if any of it contains minors. <br />Mr. Stapp stated this software speeds up the process with how information is <br />shared. When the City first began using AXON video services and technology, <br />the D.A.'s office would download video evidence onto either DVDs or flash <br />drives and turn it over to the defense in that manner. That slowed the intake <br />process down considerably and actually proved to be an inhibitor to bringing <br />cases to resolution as quickly as possible. About 2 years ago, we began using <br />the AXON shareable link process wherein defense attorneys could download <br />their own evidence using the links provided. He understands the concerns but <br />Axon is a company that brings all information together and they are a <br />reputable company. <br />Mayor Hughson noted that the link Mr. Baker provided has a year of 2017 and <br />she hopes that improvements have been made since then. <br />Council Member Derrick inquired about the use of Tyler Technologies for this <br />type of service. Mr. Stapp stated that Tyler does not provide the services that <br />this contract with Axon covers. <br />A motion was made by Council Member Gonzales, seconded by Council <br />Member Baker, to postpone Resolution 2020-155R to September 1, 2020. The <br />motion carried by the following vote: <br />For: 4 - Council Member Derrick, Council Member Marquez, Council Member Baker and <br />Council Member Gonzales <br />Against: 3 - Mayor Hughson, Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem <br />Rockeymoore <br />16. Consider approval of Resolution 2020-156R, awarding an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite <br />City of San Marcos Page 8 <br />
