Approved 5-0 by Huntsville City Council on August 24, 2023.
The Huntsville City Council passed Resolution 23-689 on August 24, 2023, authorizing the mayor to enter a professional services contract with FLOCK Group, Inc. The city's legislative record files the item as 2023-619, introduced August 11, 2023 at the request of the police department, and marks it passed at a regular meeting. The council history shows John Meredith moved the item and Jennie Robinson seconded it, and records no tally and no individual votes. The council passed a second Flock resolution, 23-690, at the same August 24, 2023 meeting. The same legislative file lists a Flock memorandum of understanding passed January 13, 2022 and further Flock contracts passed April 11, 2024 and September 12, 2024. The record carries one attachment, the complete August 2023 police purchase packet, which the public link does not serve, so the dollar amount, camera count, term length, funding source and retention terms are not documented here.

|---|---|---|
| John Meredith | Council member | Yes |
| Jennie Robinson | Council member | Yes |
| Bill Kling | Council member | Yes |
| Devyn Keith | Council member | Yes |

What happens next
