Holly Springs mayor and council voted unanimously Sept. 15 to approve an agreement with Flock Group Inc. for a public-safety camera platform intended to provide additional video coverage at problem locations across the city.
Speaker 6 described the package as a lease-style capital arrangement that would include 13 cameras and accompanying software. The agenda listed the agreement amount as $86,004.50; during the presentation Speaker 6 referenced a proposed figure of about $86,450. "So we are ready to move forward with this and Flock has proposed $86,450 and that includes 13 cameras that includes all the software," Speaker 6 said. Later in the meeting the agenda amount appeared as $86,004.50. The presenter said the expenditure would be funded from SPLOST 6 and would be structured like a capital lease similar to how the city finances police vehicles.
Speaker 6 said staff had identified placement locations and will leverage data from adjoining jurisdictions and the county for positioning. Speaker 3 described the purchase as "a great step forward for the city to be able to put these in place." The motion to approve the agreement carried 5–0.
Next steps include final contract execution and coordinate placement with public-safety leadership and procurement to confirm site authority and installation timing.
