The body-camera grant would fund equipment, software, storage, and related setup, with continued services expected to cost about $38,000 to $40,000 annually after the grant. The water grant will help investigate discrepancies in Westfield’s water accounting, which currently shows unaccounted-for water at about 20% or higher; city property usage had not previously been fully tracked. Proposed updates concerning electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards were not decided and remain under committee review.
