Approved 11-0 by Peoria City Council on March 14, 2023.
The Peoria City Council approved file 23-074 on March 14, 2023 by 11 votes to 0. The item authorized a sole source agreement with Flock Safety, Inc. for 43 additional license plate recognition cameras and required a two thirds vote of members voting, meaning no fewer than 6 votes. Council Member Jensen moved approval and Council Member Cyr seconded. The roll call lists Mayor Rita Ali and 10 council members all voting yes, with none opposed and none recorded absent, and the council record gives surnames only for the 10 members. The agenda record carries no dollar amount, no term length, no funding account, no retention period and no audit or reporting condition. For comparison, 25 News reported that on November 14, 2023 the council approved a separate five year Flock agreement of about 892,000 dollars covering 71 more cameras, helped by 30,000 dollars in state retail theft grant money.
