From the meeting
Council was scheduled to approve trading in old police drone equipment to offset the cost of a new indoor drone for Drone as a First Responder (DFR). Staff said the trade-in would fully offset the new indoor drone cost and keep the change cost neutral. The existing indoor flight gear was described as aging and incompatible with DFR.
The item was pending the council vote, and the practical next step would be upgrading the drone platform.
