Approved 5-0 by Sikeston City Council on February 27, 2023.
Sikeston City Council authorized a 5 year agreement with Flock Safety to add 2 cameras to the existing city wide camera network. Councilman Robison made the motion and Councilman Baker seconded it. The recorded vote was 5 ayes from Baker, Leible, Robison, Self and Teachout, with Mayor Greg Turnbow and Councilwoman Onethia Williams absent. The minutes state a total of $25,700 for the full 5 year term, the whole term figure shown here. Two documents disagree on the date. The council minutes record the action on February 27, 2023, while the city notice page dates it February 28, 2023, and the minutes date is used because it records the government action itself. The minutes do not state a contract start or end date.
