The municipality has allocated funding for several purchases, including new mobile radios, hardware, software, industrial tablets and tech upgrades.

- $652,000 to purchase mobile radios for police vehicles.
- $620,000 to design, install and integrate a multifactor authentication solution within the city’s current VPN environment.

- $68,000 for a security system upgrade for the city’s Gragg Park/Wheeler Street Complex, including access control and cameras for park community centers, aquatics and maintenance barns.
- $66,000 for new industrial tablets for field code enforcement officers.
