Council approves contract to upgrade park cameras; councilor seeks clarity on data access and live feed policy

The Overland City Council approved Resolution 202640 to contract with Burns Citadel Security Company for new security cameras at city parks and upgrades at the Overland Community Center and Wild Acres Hall. The resolution passed after council discussion about camera functionality and privacy safeguards.

A council member asked staff about the kind of cameras to be installed. According to the meeting record, staff (Erin, referenced during the exchange) said the devices would be "access cameras, not live feed cameras" and emphasized that "there's no facial recognition." The council discussed the systems as tools for investigating vandalism and other incidents rather than live surveillance for continuous monitoring and then approved the resolution.

Council minutes show the contract language and approval on the record; council members did not propose additional restrictions at the meeting but asked staff clarifying questions about placement and camera access.
