Contract AwardInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 15, 2026

During the June 15, 2026 Velva City Commission meeting, President Schreiner raised a recent incident at city hall and the possibility of adding another camera or upgrading the existing security camera system. Commissioners Keller and Jenson moved to update the current camera system, and the motion passed unanimously, authorizing the city to proceed with a security upgrade. This indicates that Velva has an approved need and budget authority to enhance its city hall surveillance, though no vendor, scope, or dollar value were specified in the minutes.For security, low‑voltage, and IT vendors, this is a live implementation/upgrade where the city may still be determining equipment, placement, and integration details. A useful next conversation would focus on designing a right‑sized camera and recording solution, potentially expanding coverage and improving storage, remote access, and incident review capabilities.

Motion language was to "update the current camera system," suggesting upgrades and possibly additional camera coverage at city hall; procurement approach and vendor selection are not documented.
