Belvedere upgrades license‑plate readers to Flock Safety; Mallard Point development close to resubmission
Summary
City manager reported the police are now using Flock Safety license‑plate recognition for real‑time alerts with neighboring agencies and said meetings with Mallard Point developers addressed engineering and planning comments; Mallard expects to resubmit in about two weeks.
During the city manager report, staff told the council that Belvedere upgraded its license‑plate recognition cameras to the Flock Safety system. The manager said the platform improves accuracy, works in varied weather, and allows real‑time alerts and information sharing with neighboring police departments.
"Belvedere has upgraded its license plate recognition cameras to the flock safety system, which is now widely used across the Bay Area," the city manager said, explaining the change will help police receive real‑time alerts about stolen vehicles and wanted suspects and share information with neighboring agencies.
The city manager also summarized three recent meetings with the Mallard Point developer and internal staff covering engineering questions, planning conditions (including fire‑lane width, traffic calming, irrigation plans and an affordable‑housing agreement) and safety/design issues. He said Mallard "has indicated that they are close to resubmitting within the next 2 weeks," and the city will publish resubmission materials once received.
