Canceled
Who approved this?
Approved by Board of Aldermen.
Weston's Board of Aldermen approved a Flock contract in December 2025 on a tied vote broken by Mayor Kim Kirby voting yes, then reversed course roughly five months later. On Monday, April 13, 2026 the board passed a motion by Alderman Joyce Burch to stop installation of the cameras, with Alderman Greg Hoffman absent. The Platte County Citizen describes the purchase as three license plate readers plus one regular camera at $45,000 over three years. KSHB reports the first camera was removed in February 2026 after only two days in place, that the city halted all future installations and removed the system after resident pushback, and that the purchase had been approved in the budget. Mayor Kirby told KCUR she was disappointed the city was not able to complete the process, as she felt it would be a beneficial tool for the police department. The Platte County Citizen counts 4 devices while KCUR and KSHB each describe 2 cameras; the count of 4 is used because the Citizen itemizes them as 3 readers plus 1 more camera. Weston is in Platte County, Missouri.
