Police/Personnel & Health/Safety Committee recommends renewing law enforcement contract with Flock camera option
Summary
The committee recommended the City Council renew the law enforcement services contract to include the Flock camera system and asked staff to draft an ordinance to aid fine collection. The motion, moved by Peter Schaffner and seconded by David Endres, carried Jan. 8, 2025.
The Fountain City Police/Personnel & Health/Safety Committee recommended on Jan. 8 that the City Council renew the city's law enforcement services contract and include the Flock automated license-plate camera system. Sheriff Mike Osmand presented the proposed contract and explained the Flock system during the committee's meeting, and he suggested drafting a city ordinance to help collect fines tied to enforcement violations.
The committee approved the recommendation on a motion by Peter Schaffner, seconded by David Endres; the motion carried. The committee also agreed to continue law enforcement services in January while the Council considers the renewal and related ordinance language.
Committee members did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting minutes; minutes state only that the motion "carried." The meeting record does not include additional technical details about how the Flock system would be configured, nor does it specify the ordinance text Sheriff Osmand proposed.
Next steps: the committee's recommendation will go to the City Council for consideration. Council review was not scheduled in the committee minutes.
