Who approved this?
Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by McKinney City Council on January 21, 2025.
The McKinney City Council approved file 25-2391 at its regular meeting on January 21, 2025, a resolution authorizing a Multiple Use Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation so Flock Safety automated license plate recognition cameras can be installed in TxDOT right of way. The record lists 13 cameras and 49,650 dollars, tied to Purchase Order 541126 issued on December 4, 2024, with Police Chief Joe Ellenburg as the department contact. Legistar records the action as approved but stores no vote tally and no council member names. The Dallas Morning News reported on January 24, 2025 that the resolution passed on the consent agenda, that McKinney had started using Flock cameras on non TxDOT roads in November 2024, and that a city spokesman said the TxDOT agreement had not been finalized. That report gives a 30 day retention figure for Frisco but states no retention policy for McKinney. The city record sets no term length, no audit condition, no sharing limit and no public reporting requirement.
