Mayor Payne opened the meeting, noted a quorum, and read a statement about an ongoing rally outside on flock cameras (ALPR). The mayor said the city suspended the Flock camera program in December, removed equipment, will not renew the contract with FLOC, and deleted retained data outside the 30‑day investigatory window. She previewed two upcoming agenda actions tied to sanctuary city commitments: a resolution urging guardrails on DHS funding and an ordinance prohibiting use of city property for civil immigration enforcement by federal agents.
