2026-09-28 - City Council (Regular)

Multiple speakers opposed Flock cameras; Bonna favored pausing, Pickett said the vendor would remove cameras September 30, and the City Attorney said a new policy would require Council approval. No motion was made.

Video captions: Mayor Martin said she personally supports a complete pause until an ordinance sets official policy, including misuse penalties, retention periods and an audit; the City cannot remove the 18 cameras in state and county right-of-way, so the vendor must.

• 2026-10-26 - 2026-10-26 - City Council Meeting: A resident said about 44 cameras were found in permit records, with about 23 in city parks and about six that the city says it does not manage, and argued the rigid poles should only be installed behind a barrier under state transportation approvals. The city manager said staff would review. Another speaker contrasted camera lease costs with street lights.
