Barrington, IL Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Barrington Village Board of Trustees on October 14, 2024.

The Barrington Village Board approved two Flock Group items on October 14, 2024 inside a consent agenda, ordinance 24-4447 extending the existing automatic license plate reading agreement for 5 years and ordinance 24-4448 buying 4 more license plate reading cameras. Trustee Prigge moved to approve the consent agenda and Trustee Lohmeyer seconded it. The roll call came back all ayes from Trustees Lohmeyer, Sholeen, Wondrasek, Duncan, Moran and Prigge and from President Darch, and the minutes record surnames only. At the Committee of the Whole the same evening, Police Chief Dave Daigle said the village had 8 cameras in place, that the 5 year term running 2024 through 2028 would lock in current pricing, and that the 4 added cameras were needed to keep the permit phase going. Neither the agenda nor the minutes for October 14 give a dollar figure for either ordinance. When the board first took up the readers on January 23, 2023, staff described 12 locations at a start up cost not to exceed 37,750 dollars and 32,500 dollars a year after that, funded from the fiscal year 2023 budget. The January 23, 2023 committee of the whole minutes price license plate reading cameras at 12 locations at $37,750 to begin and $32,500 a year after that, and the October 14, 2024 committee of the whole minutes describe a 5 year agreement beginning in 2024 and ending in 2028.
