Jones County approves one‑year lease for Flock Safety traffic cameras paid with ARPA funds
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved a one-year lease for five stationary and three mobile Flock Safety cameras at a total cost of $25,500 to be paid with ARPA funds, voting unanimously on the motion.
Jones County Commissioners on April 13 approved a one‑year lease with Flock Safety for five stationary traffic cameras at $3,000 each and three mobile cameras at $3,500 each, for a total contract price of $25,500. The county will pay the lease using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
Commissioner Lonnie Vivian moved to enter into the agreement; Commissioner Roy Spalding seconded and the court voted unanimously in favor. The agenda entry records the contract price and the funding source as ARPA.
The agenda does not provide details on camera siting, data retention, privacy safeguards, or vendor contract terms. County staff are expected to finalize contract terms and implement the lease consistent with ARPA spending rules and applicable county procurement procedures.
Next steps: staff to execute the lease document and schedule implementation; the court did not discuss technical installation details on the record.
