$320M/year is part of what budget, exactly? And what experience/knowledge do you have
County budget is $491M, of which 65% is salaries/benefits, or about $320M/year.
For $320M/year, I expect some competence or expertise -- yet County always has to hire "consultants" to perform "studies" and write "plans", which strongly suggests that County lacks the knowledge necessary to perform functions required by the public, in which case we're being massively overcharged for the "administrative support" necessary to hire those consultants and read those reports.
As for the technical aspect: it doesn't take much "infrastructure" to assemble wireless camera pictures into a webpage. Unfortunately, I'm just an engineer; I lack the "soft skills" necessary to sell a cost-inflated solution to County.
