Approved 1-0 by City Council on June 18, 2024.
The Daily Herald listed Lake Stevens among the Snohomish County cities with active Flock camera networks as of May 27, 2026. No approval document has been found. On June 18, 2024 Councilmember Daughtry moved and Councilmember Donoghue seconded approval of the Flock Safety contract for one year, with staff to report back quarterly or at six months, and the motion passed 5 to 1 with Councilmember Jorstad opposed. The council cut the term to a single year rather than the 24 months on the vendor order form. The minutes do not name the five members who voted yes, so the roll call records the tally without names.
