The Florence mayor and board voted to authorize Mayor Trey Gunn to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Mississippi Department of Transportation to place two Flock automatic license‑plate readers in the city.
Chief Burns recommended the MOU during the Sept. 16 meeting; Alderman John Banks moved to authorize the mayor to sign and Alderman Mason Herrin seconded. The motion carried with all aldermen recorded as voting Aye.
The board record shows only that the MOU was authorized; the transcript does not include the MOU text, cost details or operational terms such as data retention, access or oversight. Those specifics were not presented during the meeting and are therefore not reported here.
Mayor Trey Gunn presided over the vote. The board did not discuss or record amendments, a public‑comment period on the MOU, or a separate policy establishing data governance for the ALPRs during the meeting. Any public‑facing rules, funding sources or interagency data‑sharing arrangements would need to be confirmed from the MOU document or subsequent staff reports.
