Renewal upcoming
Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
St. Louis Public Radio reported on September 22, 2026 that earlier in 2026 the University City council was slated to vote on a 200,000 dollar Flock contract extension, and that Councilman John Tieman asked that it be pulled from the agenda, citing immigration enforcement concerns. Police say the city's automated license plate readers have assisted in hundreds of investigations, and the department says on its website that it has not taken part in ICE integration. KCUR reported on September 23, 2026 that one of the city's cameras was recently cut down. The articles do not give the month of the planned vote, the length of the extension, the number of cameras or the terms of the existing contract.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount, the camera count, and the approval date. The city or county clerk holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
Renewals are decided in public. Residents can attend the meeting, speak during public comment, and write to the office above through official channels. The ACLU publishes a model cancellation resolution officials can adapt.
