Ayshawn Davis's tragic death earlier this week is one of many to take place in Troy this summer.

The string of violence has renewed the conversation surrounding surveillance cameras in the city.

Troy City Council President Carmella Mantello said the council is expecting to have legislation next month to upgrade the camera system.

This comes a year after talks to upgrade the system started, when a camera failed to catch video of a crime.

Last September, the council announced a number of vendors were assessing the situation.

Mantello said the police department has since chosen a vendor.

The council is now working on legislation with the mayor's office to be presented at their October 1 meeting.

Council members discussed this at the start of Thursday night's finance meeting but did not get into how much the upgrade will cost.

Last year one of the vendors quoted the city upwards of $180,000 and that was only to upgrade the existing system, not provide new cameras.

The city did secure a $125,000 state grant last year to help pay for new surveillance equipment.

The city will be responsible for anything above that.
