Technology Commission Meeting 9-23-2026 - 6 PM

The City of Franklin Technology Commission met on September 23, 2026. Tranquility AI demonstrated Time Pilot, an AI-assisted investigative evidence-review tool for the Police Department. The vendor offered a donated one-year license with no exchange of funds; any subsequent subscription would be priced through a custom quote based on agency use. Commissioners discussed safeguards for sensitive criminal-justice data, including access controls, audit logs, CJIS-related compliance, and the need to verify AI-generated results against source evidence. After the presentation, the commission voted in favor of a motion to recommend the product for further approval, apparently by the Common Council. No dollar amount or contract number was provided.

The commission also discussed Paragon, a state-sponsored, grant-funded pilot intended to facilitate sharing police records across Wisconsin agencies; no action was taken on it. The technology update covered persistent VoIP call-quality issues and a planned replacement of City Hall’s 1-Gbps copper network links with 10-Gbps fiber, as well as a gradual move from Bitdefender patching to Microsoft Intune. No associated costs, purchasing approvals, or other procurement votes were identified.
