Brentwood, CA Flock Contract

Active

Who approved this?

Approved 5-0 by Brentwood City Council on March 11, 2025.

The Brentwood City Council voted 5 to 0 on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 to add 32 Flock license plate reader cameras plus 3 surveillance cameras. Contra Costa News quoted the item as a two year agreement at a cost of $240k funded out of the General Fund. Councilmember Jovita Mendoza voted yes but objected to the item being placed on the consent calendar, calling it inappropriate to sneak it into consent and saying she was personally offended. The Press later reported the program cost as $113,000 for year one and $105,000 for year two, a figure that does not match the $240,000 in the March reporting, and neither outlet explains the gap. The Press reported the new Flock system went live on Monday, April 14, 2025.
