Who approved this?
Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Winston-Salem City Council on January 3, 2023.
Winston-Salem City Council approved resolution 22-0517, an encroachment agreement letting Flock Safety install automated license plate readers in city right of way, on January 3, 2023. The item was petitioned by Flock Safety and recommended by the Public Works Committee. The committee continued it on September 13, 2022, the council sent it back to committee on December 1, 2022, and the committee recommended approval on December 13, 2022 on a motion by Council Member Annette Scippio seconded by Council Member John C. Larson. Final passage came by consent vote, moved by Denise D. Adams and seconded by John C. Larson, and the council's vote record lists no individual votes. The clerk recorded the item at 2023 Resolution Book, page 18. The record carries no dollar figure, no camera count, no term length and no retention or audit condition, because an encroachment agreement governs placement in the right of way rather than a purchase.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount and the camera count. Winston-Salem City Council 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.
