The Mt. Airy Town Council will reconsider the purchase of license plate readers for two patrol cars during its regular meeting on Monday, December 2.
The council discussed the purchase during its November meeting but tabled the matter after discussing the cost of the purchase. The cost for the readers to be installed on patrol vehicles is $26,000-29,000 per device.

Vigilant and Geo Tech were the two companies that submitted proposals to the town for the project. Both proposals are approximately the same price.
If officials proceed with the purchase, funding is expected to come from American Rescue Plan Act funds.
The Mt. Airy Town Council will hold its regular meeting on Monday, December 2, at 7 p.m. in the Mt. Airy Town Hall located at 1231 Dicks Hill Parkway in Mt. Airy.
