The Baldwin City Council approved a contract modification for code compliance equipment during Monday’s council meeting. The contract modification resulted in cost savings with AXON, the vendor that provides law enforcement personnel with body cameras, tasers, and evidence software.
Baldwin Chief Administrative Officer Emily Woodmaster explained to the council that the contract is for five years, of which the city is four months into the contract. The original contract was for $3,800 annually for the equipment and software. The modification reduces that amount to $2,700 annually, a savings of $1,100 per year.
The contract was approved during the FY 2025 budget cycle. According to city provided documents, the estimated start date for the modified contract will begin in May 2025.
The council approved the contract modification unanimously.
