Who approved this?
Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Venice City Council on July 12, 2022.
Venice City Council approved item 22-5715, an agreement between the Venice Police Department and Flock Group Inc for license plate reader services and technology equipment, on July 12, 2022 on the consent agenda. An earlier item, 22-5522, approved an interagency agreement with the Panama City Beach Police Department together with a memorandum of understanding with Flock Group on March 22, 2022. The Panama City Beach tie and staff email addresses on the city domain confirm this is Venice in Florida rather than Venice in Illinois. The action history records the July item as approved on the consent agenda with no mover, seconder or tally. Neither item states a dollar figure, a camera count, a term length or a data retention period. The Legistar action history for the March item is empty, so only the July date can be stated as an approval.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount and the camera count. Venice City Council holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
Renewals are decided in public. Residents can attend the meeting, speak during public comment, and write to the office above through official channels. The ACLU publishes a model cancellation resolution officials can adapt.
