Who approved this?
Approved 5-0 by Forest Park City Council on January 2, 2024.
The Forest Park City Council approved the purchase of 15 Flock cameras for the Police Department on January 2, 2024, as item 8, in the amount of $72,250.00. Councilmember Mears moved and Councilmember Akins-Wells seconded, and the minutes record all 5 members voting yea. The order form attached to the item is addressed to the Forest Park Police Department and names Flock Group Inc as the vendor. It prices the Flock Safety Platform at $62,500 a year on a 60 month subscription term, lists 25 Flock Safety Falcon units and FlockOS as included, and adds 15 standard implementation fees of $650 each for $9,750. Year 1 totals $72,250 and the contract total is $322,250, billed $62,500 annually in years 2 through 5. The count in the council motion and the count on the order form do not agree, so both figures are recorded here.
