SUBJECT:
Title
Request for approval to modify the scope of the License Plate Readers (LPR’s) system from what was originally presented in the FY 2015/2016 budget - Captain Erik Eagan, VCSO, (386) 806-7030
Strategic Goal: Public Safety

City-wide
BACKGROUND:
Background
The original FY 2015/2016 budget included a request for four (4) LPR systems. After review a better option would to be to install a covert LPR speed trailer ($30,000), along with six lanes of static LPR system ($60,000). This coverage around the City could have a huge impact on enforcement and crime analysis/investigative/intelligence efforts. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office has budgeted to purchase static LPR systems to cover the outskirts of Deltona at four (4) strategic locations. If the City decided to purchase the proposed static LPR systems, they would complement the budgeted LPR systems that VCSO is purchasing.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of staff to modify the scope of the LPR project from the four 4-camera LPR systems to a covert LPR speed trailer and five travel lanes of static LPR systems at approximately the same cost of $90,000. There would be an annual maintenance cost of approximately 15-17% in future budget cycles.
