Who approved this?
Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Hayward City Council on March 19, 2024.
The Hayward City Council approved CONS 24-126 on March 19, 2024 as part of the consent calendar. The resolution let the City Manager execute a two year agreement with Flock Safety for 35 additional automated license plate reader cameras in an amount not to exceed 300,000 dollars, and set a separate ceiling of 500,000 dollars for all agreements with Flock Safety. Council Member Ray Bonilla Jr. moved and Council Member Daniel Goldstein seconded, and the action record logs 7 ayes from Andrews, Bonilla Jr., Goldstein, Roche, Syrop, Zermeno and Salinas. The record gives no execution date, so the two year term has no documented start or end. No funding account, retention period, sharing limit, audit or public reporting requirement appears in the item title or the action record. The 300,000 dollar figure is the amount shown because it covers this agreement; the 500,000 dollar figure is a cumulative cap on all Flock Safety agreements, not the price of this one. Status is set to expired because two years have passed since the March 19, 2024 authorization and no renewal or extension document was found.
