The LaSalle City Council voted to approve the purchase of a Stalker MC-360 solar speed/count trailer for the police department at a cost of $23,617, following a finance committee recommendation.
A finance-committee representative told the council the device collects vehicle counts and speeds to identify enforcement hotspots but does not take photographs of license plates or people. Supporters said the trailer will allow the department to target officer deployment more efficiently.
Alderman Reynolds moved to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded and adopted by roll call. Council members who recorded affirmative votes included Aldermen Deemus, Thompson, Patek, Reynolds, Lavery, Jepson, Herndon and Crane.
No amendment or conditions were attached to the approval at the meeting. The trailer will be lettered to indicate City of LaSalle Police Department ownership, per a brief discussion.
