Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


This estimate is based on available data utilizing a self-contained camera capable of 365-day storage and 800 sq. ft. coverage. Typically, cameras are licensed annually; therefore, this estimate includes a 1-year licensing fee of $6,161,680. It is also important to note that this estimate does not include the costs associated with installation or technology upgrades that will be required to maintain the equipment and retain the footage the WVDE lacks the data necessary to provide an accurate estimate in regard to those provisions. The WVDE eliminated areas already known to have this coverage and did not include the common areas needed coverage due to a lack of information.



Memorandum

If the Legislature intends for the WVDE to be responsible for the implementation then the fiscal impact, upon full implementation, is expected to be approximately $119,103,323.
