# 2022-01 Cabot Waives Bidding for Axon Camera Agreement
On January 24, 2022, the Cabot City Council passed Ordinance 2 of 2022 and its emergency clause 8-0. The ordinance authorized the Mayor and City Clerk-Treasurer to enter an Axon agreement "for the purchase of body and in-car video cameras, and related equipment," waived competitive bidding, and tied expenditures to the City's August 2021 sales-and-use-tax bond program ([[Cabot Axon Vendor Ledger Resolutions and Grant Records]], `Scan2026-07-23_151554.pdf`, pp. 110–112).
