Several residents used the public-comment period to demand answers about the city’s camera program, alleging that audio had been enabled without a public vote and seeking records of contracts and invoices. Troy Rosencrantz asked bluntly whether audio approval had been voted on and said citizens might pursue the Attorney General’s Office if answers were not provided.

Rosencrantz: "Cameras don't get voted on when you're paying the bills. Is that how contracts and how things are voted on at council?" His remarks included a claim that an earlier published article listed camera locations and even audio; he said he had filed Right-to-Know requests and had not received documentation he requested. He also raised the contractor billing and described receiving only limited records in response.

Council responded by saying staff had disconnected audio access in the city-hall camera feed and engaged a separate company to reset passwords so only council can access the system. The council asked the police chief to investigate how audio was configured and to report back; the solicitor and council discussed coordinating with the county prosecutor’s office or the state Attorney General’s Office, noting some documents are presently under legal review and litigation sensitivity.

No formal determination or charging decision was announced at the meeting. Council emphasized it would investigate procedures, contracts and access control and report findings to the council at a later meeting. Legal counsel noted some records are under review for legal purposes and therefore not immediately available.
