Nevada County, CA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 4-0 by Nevada County Board of Supervisors on June 25, 2024.

The Nevada County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 24-326 on June 25, 2024, authorizing a Notice of Exemption for two Flock automated license plate reader cameras at Highway 49 and Combie Road in District II, covering the northbound and southbound approaches. The vote was 4 ayes and 0 noes, with Hardy Bullock absent. The resolution ties the cameras to a 12-month pilot budgeted at 78,500 dollars that the board established earlier through Resolution 23-142 on March 28, 2023. The board claimed a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15303(e) for new construction or conversion of small structures, citing minimal ground disturbance. The Nevada County Sheriff's Office filed the Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse on July 3, 2024 under number 2024070193, describing a 13 foot pole with a camera and solar panel. The state filing describes a single pole while the resolution authorizes 2 cameras at the intersection, so the camera count here comes from the resolution text. Neither document sets a retention period, a sharing limit, an audit duty, or a public reporting requirement, and no renewal or termination document for the pilot was located.
