Supervisors Approve Security Cameras For Courthouse Parking Lot

The Grant County Board of Supervisors has approved a proposal to install security cameras for the east parking lot of the county courthouse in downtown Lancaster. Grant County Information Technology Director Shane Drinkwater asked the board to approve up to two security cameras at a cost of $9,000. The east parking lot is used by judges when they are in service at the courthouse. The county will need approval from the Lancaster Common Council because the proposed cameras would be installed on the roof of Lancaster City Hall. Drinkwater said he is in negotiations with City Administrator David Carlson about the cameras. According to a report, the county board approved buying the cameras with money from the American Rescue Plan Act.
