Elk Grove, CA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved by Elk Grove City Council on April 8, 2026.

The Elk Grove City Council approved a sixth amendment to its Flock Safety agreement on April 8, 2026 as item 7.11, adopting a resolution that waived the formal proposal process. The amendment adds 194,100 dollars and lifts the not to exceed total to 1,630,808 dollars, running through April 25, 2028. Staff put the fiscal year 2025-26 cost at about 52,950 dollars and the remaining term at an estimated 70,000 dollars, and wrote that funding is appropriated annually through the city budget process. The change swaps some standard cameras for long distance units and moves hardware for wider citywide coverage; the contract covers hardware, maintenance, software, connectivity, data storage and system support. Reporting on the meeting states that reads are purged automatically after 30 days unless flagged as evidence, that out of state sharing features are disabled as SB 34 requires, and that use for immigration enforcement is prohibited. Police cited 1,548 investigative alerts with a hit rate above 50 percent, while residents asked the council to suspend the program pending an independent audit by the California Department of Justice. No vote tally or roll call is published in either source, and neither gives a total camera count.
