The Lake County Board of Supervisors agenda for February 27, 2024 carried item 24-135, a five year lease of 26 automated license plate reader cameras from Flock Group Inc of Atlanta in an amount not to exceed 68,500 dollars per year or 342,500 dollars over the five year agreement. The same item waived formal bidding under county purchasing code sections 2-38.1 and 2-38.2 and authorized the chairman of the board to sign. The figure shown is 342,500 dollars because the county printed a whole term total alongside the annual cap. Lake County had earlier agendized item 21-503 on June 15, 2021 for a two year lease of 26 cameras at no more than 65,000 dollars per year, and item 21-960 on September 28, 2021 for a two year lease of 19 cameras at 52,250 dollars in year one and 47,500 dollars in year two. The county Legistar publishes agendas without results, and the event item for February 27, 2024 returns no action name, no passed flag, no mover and no seconder. No approval date or roll call is given for that reason. The agenda file for that meeting sits on a Granicus host that blocks automated retrieval, so the minutes could not be read.
