The Aurora City Council this week approved buying license plate readers and associated software to use at Chicago Premium Outlets mall in the city.
Aldermen voted Tuesday to purchase the license plate readers from Aurora-based Scientel Solutions, and the software for them from Motorola. The City Council also voted to make an agreement with Chicago Premium Outlets, located near Interstate 88 and Farnsworth Avenue, to use them there.
The contract for the software will be with Motorola and will not exceed a total of $87,000. That will provide two services – the software for data from the license plate readers, and for integration with the existing FUSUS system the city has for public safety. The grants involved are a $1.2 million Rebuild Distressed Communities grant, an $85,630 grant from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and a $2.28 million COPS Technology and Equipment Program grant.The lone vote against purchasing the license plate readers and software was Ald. John Laesch, at large, who asked specifically if the license plate readers flag people on the city’s gang list.“That may or may not include someone on the gang list,” he said.
