Who approved this?
Approved 8-0 by Lee's Summit City Council on August 15, 2023.
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9728 on August 15, 2023, approving Sole Source Agreement No. 2024-17 with Flock Group, Inc. for license plate reading technology, camera installation and validation. The roll call recorded 8 ayes and 1 absent, with Councilmember Faith Hodges the member absent. Councilmember John Lovell moved and Councilmember Mia Prier seconded both the second reading and the adoption, which came from Bill No. 23-156. The Finance and Budget Committee had recommended approval on August 7, 2023 on a motion by Phyllis Edson and a second by Faith Hodges. The city legislative record states no dollar amount, camera count or term length, and the agreement exhibit sits on a document server that blocks automated retrieval. A search of the same record system for later Flock or license plate reader items returned nothing after 2023.
