City staff briefed council on an early-stage petition to regulate Flock Safety cameras; staff warned some proposed provisions are unenforceable for private cameras and flagged notarization errors in the petition form.

Multiple residents told the council that ALPRs posed privacy, misuse and cybersecurity risks, urged local ordinance and asked members to decline contract renewal; commenters described national incidents, local examples and technical vulnerabilities.

Chief described Flock (ALPR) deployments, cited case examples where cameras aided investigations, and outlined funding (MVCPA grant $21,600; $11,400 from asset forfeiture), policy safeguards and a recommended retention change to seven days. Many residents raised privacy and misuse concerns during public comment.
