The Killeen City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve spending nearly $6 million to help improve the current conditions of 12 streets in Killeen.
The item was originally on the consent agenda and was set to be approved along with eight other items. However, at the beginning of the meeting, the item was removed from the consent agenda and became a discussion item.
Councilwoman Mellisa Brown spoke during the discussion about her concerns over possible insurance or a warranty on the road construction.
Jeffery Reynolds, the cityâs director of public works, said a warranty or something similar is not typically done for this type of work.
The Killeen City Council discussed authorizing the spending of nearly $600,000 by the Killeen Police Department for new cameras and technology equipment for police vehicles and at the police headquarters.
If approved at a future meeting, the police department would be able to spend $599,332 for the procurement of replacement mobile data terminals (MDT) and COBAN Edge in-car video systems from GTS Technology Solutions, Inc., as well as for the procurement of cameras and access control hardware at the police headquarters from Stanley Convergent Security Solutions.
Councilwoman Mellisa Brown asked about the video quality that would be captured by the new in-car technology, and Willie Resto, the cityâs executive director of information technology, said the new video would be captured on 720-pixel screens, or high-definition, as opposed to the 480p that is currently captured.
