# T021 — Cabot Axon LPR Discontinuation Reports vs 2024 Renewal Agreement Cabot's own public report describes the Axon integration as ended for accuracy reasons, while City records show Cabot authorizing, signing, and paying for five new Fleet 3 systems carrying ALPR licenses immediately before that report's coverage period. The Clerk-Treasurer production resolves whether the five-system purchase received City authorization and payment; it does not resolve whether the ALPR feature remained enabled, whether "integration" meant only Axon–Flock alerting, or what the later refresh changed. ## Statement A Cabot's January–June 2025 semiannual report says the agency was no longer integrated with Axon because the results "were inaccurate and provided almost all false hits"; the 2023–2024 reports attributed 370 and then 762 of 763 non-correlating alerts to Mobile Axon LPR ([[Cabot Semiannual LPR Reports]], cited reports, p. 1). ## Statement B Quote Q-595239-45629.839JS — Fleet 3 Advanced ×5, 60 months, estimated contract start 02/01/2025, including `AXON FLEET 3 - ALPR LICENSE - 1 CAMERA ×5` for 02/01/2025–01/31/2030 — is signed in ink "…, Mayor," dated 12/17/24; and quote Q-776129-45994JS (three antennas plus per-vehicle installation-refresh, estimated start 02/01/2026) is signed 12/3/2025 ([[Cabot Axon Fleet 3 Agreements and Invoice]], `AXON signed contract.pdf`, p. 6; `Axon Fleet 3 Transfer Signed.pdf`, p. 6). The City Council separately adopted Resolution 62 7-0 on 12/16/24, authorizing five cameras for `$79,785.88`, and the vendor ledger records a 3/5/25 payment of `$79,792.07` for `Res 62 of 24 (5) Fleet 3A (advanced in car Cameras)` ([[Cabot Axon Vendor Ledger Resolutions and Grant Records]], `Scan2026-07-23_151554.pdf`, pp. 1, 48–49, 97–98). ## Why it matters If "no longer integrated with Axon" means only that Axon–Flock alerting ended while Fleet 3 in-car systems and ALPR licenses continued, the report may not describe Cabot's full mobile-ALPR capability during the period it covers. If Cabot paid for the in-car-video systems but disabled their ALPR licenses, the agreement and payment do not contradict the operational statement. That distinction determines what Cabot's six-month reports actually measure and bears on every jurisdiction where public ALPR reporting is the principal oversight instrument. ## Resolution status `open` — payment and municipal authorization are resolved through the Clerk-Treasurer production. Remaining resolution paths are per-unit ALPR-enablement/platform records, the meaning of "no longer integrated," the meaning of the 2025 transfer/refresh, and later semiannual reports. The source tension is now operational rather than financial. ## Discovery Surfaced during the 2026-07-23 Axon supplement ingest by comparing the signed agreement dates against the discontinuation language already compiled from the initial production. ## Notes The signatory title "Mayor" is visually verified from the ink signature; the name is not fully legible and is not asserted. The tension is between two agency records' implications, not an accusation of misstatement.
