Council authorizes agreement to relocate automated license‑plate cameras to TxDOT right‑of‑way
Summary
Council approved a resolution allowing the city manager to enter into a TxDOT multiuse agreement to relocate four automated license-plate cameras into state right-of-way; police said relocation is at no cost and vendor maintenance is generally handled by the camera provider.
Council voted to authorize the city manager to enter a multiuse agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to move four automated license-plate recognition cameras from city right-of-way into TxDOT right-of-way. Police staff said relocation and initial fees were waived by the vendor, that the cameras are solar powered and GPS-tracked, and that vendor Flock typically handles repairs and replacements if devices are damaged.
Council members asked whether the city would bear maintenance costs or liability for damage; police staff said TxDOT’s agreement places repair obligations with the vendor in practice and noted prior incidents—one camera had been run over and later replaced with the city paying a modest charge for the pole. The resolution passed on voice vote.
