Who approved this?
Approved 1-0 by City Council on April 16, 2024.
Clawson decided not to renew its Flock contract, per Detroit News reporting on July 14, 2026. No document found so far records the original contract's approval. The Clawson City Council approved four ALPR Flock Safety Falcon cameras at its April 16, 2024 meeting on a 4 to 1 vote, at $14,600 in the first year of the contract and $12,000 in the next, over two years, paid through the city's American Rescue Plan Act funds. The amount shown is the first-year figure. The article names no individual votes, so the roll call records the tally without names. The city's own agenda portal blocks automated reading, so the underlying agenda item has not been read.
