Neptune Beach City Council approved a motion at a meeting and directed the police chief to solicit feedback from April Carney, the city’s school board representative, on camera-based safety programs used elsewhere in the state.
A council member framed the request as part of ongoing fact-finding and asked the chief to reach out for the school board representative’s view. The council member said, "I don't know if she's spoken specifically on the camera. I'd like to hear April Carney's feedback on this and in relation to other programs around the state because I know they look at those. That's all I got. Thank you." The transcript identifies the speaker only as a council member; no individual name was provided for that speaker.
The transcript shows the motion was moved, seconded and set, with members indicating assent; it does not include the motion's full text or a numbered vote tally. Short procedural remarks recorded in the transcript include confirmations such as "Yes," "Second" and "Set motion," but those entries do not identify who made the motion or who seconded it.
The record does not specify a deadline for the chief to report back, what specific camera programs should be considered, or whether the council expects a comparative analysis of program costs, privacy policies, or legal constraints. The council member who requested the outreach noted only that Carney "has been looking at safety programs very closely and has spoken on it in the past." The transcript does not document any response from April Carney or indicate whether she was present.
No ordinances, resolutions, grant amounts, or implementation steps appear in the transcript for this item; the action appears to be direction to staff (the police chief) to gather information and report back. Further details about next steps, timelines or documentation to be provided to the council were not specified in the portion of the transcript provided.
