<p>Moderately interesting things found.</p><p>Each camera cost $2500 to install and $2500/year to operate. A small village might have 10-20 cameras. </p><p>Cities don't own any of the equipment and are contractually forbidden to touch it in any way, unless it's literally on fire and the FD has to douse it or something.</p><p>A lot of meeting discussion is focused on the fact that neighboring areas have cameras (peer pressure). Wouldn't want to have a "camera gap" with freaking Winnetka.</p>
