Sugar Grove, IL Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 5-1 by Village of Sugar Grove Board of Trustees on January 7, 2025.

A January 7, 2025 board report asked the Village of Sugar Grove Board of Trustees to adopt Resolution 2025-0107 PD, a services agreement with Flock Safety Group Inc. that keeps 4 temporary automated readers on the village account. The report puts the added cost at 12,500 dollars a year plus a one time installation and conversion fee of 1,950 dollars, for 14,450 dollars in unbudgeted expense, and sets the annual cost of all 8 cameras at 22,500 dollars. The term is 24 months and staff pointed to anticipated surplus funds to cover it. The report attaches Flock quote Q-109246 for 3 stationary units and Q-109250 for 1 mobile unit, both created December 19, 2024. The village ALPR page names Flock Safety Inc. as the vendor, dates the original contract approval to March 2023, and now counts 7 cameras: 4 on local roadways and 3 of the 4 original units on state and county roads, with 1 still in permitting. That page sets retention at 30 days, after which data is purged unless it is or may become evidence in a criminal action or is subject to a lawful order. Plates are compared against LEADS, NCIC and a Sugar Grove Police Department list, and the page states that data will not be sold or shared with third parties. Neither document gives a vote tally or trustee names.
