Who approved this?
Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Jonesboro City Council on March 21, 2023.
Jonesboro City Council passed Resolution RES-23:056 on March 21, 2023 on the consent agenda, waiving competitive bidding and authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with Flock Group Inc for additional equipment and services. The Finance and Administration Council Committee recommended the measure to council on March 14, 2023 on a motion by John Street seconded by Ann Williams. Eleven council members voted aye and Joe Hafner was absent. A companion contract record, file CON-1350, carries a passed date of March 23, 2023 for the same authorization. The resolution text names the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas but states no dollar figure, no camera count and no term length. The city filed the signed document as attachment R-EN-067-2023 on a Granicus host that blocks automated retrieval, so the money and the camera count stay unverified. No data retention period, audit right or reporting condition appears in the council record.
