Colusa, CA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved by Colusa City Council on September 2, 2025.

The Colusa City Council took up a staff report dated September 2, 2025 recommending a resolution that would authorize the Chief of Police to enter a two year contract with Flock Group, Inc. for 11 automated license plate readers. The total is 77,200 dollars, billed as 38,600 dollars a year in two installments. Staff named the Police Department's Measure B allocation as the funding source and Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund money as the fallback. The City of Colusa then filed a CEQA Notice of Exemption on March 4, 2026, SCH number 2026030147, for one more Flock camera on a 13 foot pole with a solar panel, claimed under the categorical exemption at CEQA Guidelines section 15303(e) for new construction of small structures, with Police Chief Joshua Fitch listed as the contact. The staff report is silent on retention period, on sharing limits and on any audit or annual reporting requirement, all of which SB 34 makes relevant for a California agency. No vote tally or roll call is published in either document, and the resolution number was left blank in the draft staff report.
