a. Discuss the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District 2015 -16 Proposed
Budget and budget process.
Chief Dougherty presented the agenda item and stated in regards to the budget that the capital
expenses include $50,000 for body cameras. He stated that some of the funds that would be used
for vehicles were moved to fund the body cameras. He stated that a 3% salary increase was taken
into consideration; other expenses remained constant, as well as, the contingency fund that
remained at $100,000. President Wheeler stated that she had a discussion with Chief Dougherty
about additional body cameras being funded through the contingency fund if needed. Chief
Dougherty stated that ten (10) body cameras would be funded from the current budget to get the
program implemented, but that he would need to request for more. He also stated that there are
other fees associated with the body cameras, in which some fees will be offset by the ITS
department. He stated that currently they have an advantage because the in car system that they
are using is made by the same company that they would purchase the body cameras from
therefore they will be able to use the same storage system. Chief Dougherty stated that they are
almost at capacity with the current storage, but they are working with the ITS department to get
it increased. He stated that the company is also coming out with a program where the cameras
and the in car system will have a redaction system included for public information request which
provides saving costs, whereas with other programs a separate redacting program would have to
be purchased.
Director Strong inquired as to how many cameras could be purchased from $50,000. Chief
Dougherty stated that for about $10,000, he purchased ten (10) cameras that included the
equipment to operate the systems along with the replacement information; therefore about 50
cameras could be purchased for $50,000. Chief Dougherty further stated that his plan is to phase
in the cameras where needed because there are some areas where there's less contact with the
public therefore wouldn't need a body camera.
As it relates to public information, Director Flewellen inquired if there is a place into the system
that allows for legal criteria to be performed whether right or wrong before the public is
informed. Chief Dougherty stated that they system will mirror the in car system and anyone can
make a public information request in which there is certain information that they may receive
or may not obtain. He further stated that there is also security to where the officer can't tamper
with the system as well.
3.
a. Consider a resolution adopting the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District
2015 Action Plan.
Chief Dougherty presented the agenda item and stated that the strategy plan is the same as
it's been in the past years. He stated that the plan supports having one (1) Sergeant, 12 patrol
officers, two (2) commercial vehicle enforcement officers, and the submission of the
performance evaluation/report of the HOTSPOT and CVE officers.
