No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
Kendall County Commissioners Court voted 5 to 0 to end the county agreement with Flock Safety, and KSAT and KTSA reported the decision on September 2 and September 3, 2026. The network covered 57 automated license plate readers. Both outlets put the first year contract value at more than 258,000 dollars, and that figure is recorded here as stated. County Judge Shane Stolarczyk pointed to concerns about the credibility and trustworthiness of the vendor. District Attorney Nicole Bishop opposed ending the program and said there is no replacement for it, citing a solved armed robbery and fewer car burglaries in the Regent Park area of Boerne. Sheriff Al Auxier and Commissioner Richard Chapman of Precinct 3 took part in the discussion. Termination takes effect 30 days after the county sends formal written notice to Flock. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles fiscal 2026 grant listing records an award of 215,254 dollars to Kendall County for a Flock Safety program, money that comes from the 1 dollar auto insurance policy fee created by Senate Bill 224 in 2023. No exact meeting date and no full roster of commissioner names appears in either news report. The county seat is Boerne.
