Summary
Village officials said they are drafting a memorandum of understanding with the Will County Sheriff's Office that would limit automatic license-plate reader (ALPR) data retention to seven days and attach the requirement as a rider to the Flock agreement; final details remain under review.
Madam Mayor opened an old-business update on the village's automated license-plate reader agreement and an unidentified village representative said the village is working with the Will County Sheriff's Office to formalize retention limits.
"We are, the village is still working or the village is working with the will county Sheriff's office, who is our law enforcement provider and putting together a memorandum of understanding," the unidentified village representative said. He added the village would require a seven-day retention period: "the village's 7 day limited retention requirement, meaning that all ALR ALPR data would solely be retained for a period of 7 days." The representative said an assistant state's attorney in Will County is handling the sheriff's side and that the prosecutor had been tied up with trial calls but would follow up next week.
The representative said the MOU language would be incorporated as a rider to the Flock agreement so the retention requirement would be contractually attached. No final MOU or contract amendment was adopted during the meeting; trustees were informed that staff and county counsel would continue negotiating and return with a draft.
The update clarifies the village's intent to limit how long ALPR data are retained and signals coordination with county law enforcement and county legal counsel; the board did not take a formal vote on the MOU at this meeting.
