Residents press city on ALPR (Flock) use and data transparency
Summary
Multiple speakers questioned the city's use or potential procurement of ALPR cameras and called for pausing surveillance contracts, data transparency and a town hall on automated license-plate readers and associated data policies.
Speakers raised concerns about ALPR-style surveillance contracts and asked the council to pause or halt activity pending transparency and legal review.
Leslie Jensen (speaker 13) and Gabrielle Weidling (speaker 20) cited recent federal proposals and nearby municipalities' actions around Flock Safety ALPRs. Weidling urged the council to cover cameras while paused and asked for community transparency about how data are used and governed.
Council member comments later in the meeting referenced interest in a town hall on the Flock mechanism and transparency of surveillance data, and at least one council member reiterated a desire to dismantle ALPR programs while ensuring legal and procedural clarity from the attorney general's office and other authorities before formal policy steps.
At this meeting, the council did not vote on an ALPR contract or procurement; members signaled further committee discussion and a possible public forum.
