Impact analysis
The 12-camera contract costs about $36,000 a year.
If kept, police gain a tool that has helped find missing people and stolen vehicles; if removed, residents gain privacy assurances.
Opponents argue residents' vehicle movements are tracked and stored by a private vendor without enforceable guardrails.
