Pending first vote
Who approved this?
Approved by City Council.
Pflugerville City Council agenda item 2026-0776 for the August 11, 2026 meeting covers a master services agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for the lease of automated license plate reader cameras and licensing in the amount of $87,500 per year. The council pulled the item and took no vote, and Community Impact reports it is expected to return on August 25, 2026. Council Member Jonathan Coffman of Place 1 objected that other state, local and national agencies can reach the collected data. CBS Austin reports 28 reader cameras are deployed across the city and puts the two-year agreement at $175,000. City documentation states the cameras capture images of license plates, do not track people, do not use facial recognition and are not used for immigration enforcement. The police department has used Flock cameras since 2022. The amount shown is the $87,500 per year figure because that is the number written into the city's own agenda item.
