Approved 6-0 by Romeoville Village Board on August 4, 2021.
The Romeoville Village Board approved Resolution RES21-3200 on August 4, 2021, waiving bids to buy 10 Flock Safety cameras. Six trustees voted aye and Mayor John Noak is recorded as non voting. Patch reported the start up cost at 27,500 dollars, offset by a 20,000 dollar payment tied to the Will County crime task force partnership, with an annual subscription of 25,000 dollars. The contract amount shown is 27,500 dollars, the documented first year figure, because neither the resolution record nor the reporting prints a whole term total. The board returned to Flock twice in 2024, approving RES24-3735 on January 17 for an agreement with Flock Group Inc for license plate reader cameras and RES24-3758 on March 20 to buy 5 more cameras. The January 17, 2024 roll call shows Chavez, Richards, Clancy, Aguirre and Palmiter voting aye, Ken Griffin absent and Mayor Noak non voting. Neither 2024 resolution prints a dollar amount in the village record, and the signed attachments sit on a host that refuses retrieval. No retention period, sharing limit, audit requirement or reporting condition appears in any of the four Flock records.
