As the fiscal agent for this group the NLBA Board has held the money awaiting a project to spend down the approximately $7800.
With concerning recent criminal activity on the North side, the NLBA is moving forward with purchasing cameras that tie into the police system via cellular and provide 360-degree coverage. The cameras are approximately $3000 each.
