Spencer County Fiscal Court approves two-year contract with Flock Camera Systems
Summary
After a 75-minute presentation, the court authorized a two-year contract for two Flock camera units on the sheriff’s recommendation; the contract term and recommended deployment were discussed but the contract amount was not recorded in the meeting minutes.
A representative from Flock Camera Systems gave a roughly 1 hour, 15 minute presentation to the Spencer County Fiscal Court on March 4, 2024, describing a vehicle-mounted/license-plate camera system the sheriff’s office recommended for use in the county. On the sheriff’s recommendation, Judge Executive Scott Travis moved and Esq. Cotton seconded a motion to enter a two-year contract for two cameras; the court approved the motion by voice vote.
The presentation, delivered before the court by a company representative, covered system features and deployment logistics. The court record shows the motion authorized a two-year contract for two cameras "on the recommendation of the Sheriff's Department." The meeting transcript and claim forms included no dollar amount for the contract in the public minutes.
Supporters said the cameras would assist law enforcement in investigations and vehicle identification. No public comment opposing the contract was recorded during the meeting. The court did not record additional conditions, a procurement number, or a contract price in the meeting minutes; such procurement details appear to be handled in the sheriff’s office files or the contract document itself.
The court moved on to other agenda items after approving the contract. If and when a contract price or additional implementation details are submitted to the fiscal court or placed on a future agenda, that information will be part of the public record.
