Hilshire Village, TX Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 3-0 by City of Hilshire Village City Council on September 21, 2021.

On September 21, 2021, the Hilshire Village City Council took up agenda item 4.A, a request to authorize the Mayor to enter a one-year contract with Flock Group Inc. for 3 automatic license plate detection cameras. Council Member Byrne moved and Council Member Gordy seconded. Byrne amended the motion to approve the one-year contract only after 3 changes: a Texas Prompt Payment Act clause in section 5.3, Texas in place of Georgia in section 8.1, and removal of section 8.4. Council Member Gordy, Council Member Byrne and Mayor Pro Tem Maddock voted yea on the amended motion, and the minutes say it passed unanimously. Council Member Carey arrived after the vote and Council Member Schwarz was absent. The attached Flock Group Inc. order form, dated August 4, 2021, lists 3 Flock Falcon cameras at 2,500 dollars each and 3 implementation fees at 250 dollars each, for a Year 1 total of 8,250 dollars and a recurring total of 7,500 dollars. The form gives no total contract value, only the Year 1 figure. The camera count of 3 is the Falcon line on the form. The form lists a 24-month initial term, while the council motion approved a one-year contract. Neither the agenda nor the minutes name a funding source. No document read confirms whether the contract was renewed after the first year.
