Resident questions Flock camera on Hwy 21; police licensing and new Shepherd Mountain trails noted
Summary
During public participation at the Jan. 12 Ironton board meeting, resident Ethan Jones raised concerns about a Flock surveillance camera on Highway 21. City police and park officials provided departmental updates, including licensing work for crash-reporting software and completion of new community and cross-country trails at Shepherd Mountain Lake.
During the Jan. 12 Ironton Board of Aldermen meeting, guest Ethan Jones addressed the board with concerns about a Flock camera located on Highway 21. The minutes record Jones’ comment during the public participation period; the transcript does not include a direct quote or a detailed description of specific complaints. The board did not take immediate action during the meeting on that item.
Police Department updates followed in the staff reports. Ethan McCoy reported on licensing matters for the department, noting three additional licenses and that licensing updates were needed for the department’s crash-reporting software. The minutes state Mayor Don Barzowski approved the licensing software update.
Parks updates came from Amanda Neusbaum, Shepherd Mountain Bike Park director, who reported completion of the new community and cross-country trails at Shepherd Mountain Lake. The board later approved naming the community trail the 'Lourwood Trail.'
No formal board directive about the Flock camera is recorded in the minutes; the entry is logged as public comment. City officials directed other follow-up actions that night — including executing a TAP supplemental agreement and scheduling bridge bid openings — but the minutes do not show further deliberation or staff assignment regarding the surveillance camera.
Next steps: concerns noted in public comment may be taken up outside the meeting or at a future agenda item if a resident or official requests additional action.
