The City Council of the City of Stephenville listed regular agenda item 3 on November 5, 2024: approval of a purchase agreement for 6 Flock Safety stationary license plate readers, with installation and maintenance, on a two-year contract. The posted minutes for that meeting repeat the item title but record no motion, vote or outcome. Beneath the Surface News reported on September 22, 2026 that the city signed a contract with Flock in November 2024, and that the state put up its own cameras before the city's were installed. City Manager Jason King told the outlet the city never installed the cameras and never paid the company, and that the contract was set to renew within 30 days. He said the council would likely vote that night to cancel it; the result of that vote was not confirmed. The attached order form for the Stephenville Police Department lists 6 Falcon cameras, an 18,000 dollar annual platform fee and 7,500 dollars in pole implementation fees, for a Year 1 total of 25,500 dollars and a total contract value of 43,500 dollars over a 24-month initial term. The camera count of 6 is the Falcon line on the form. No document reviewed names a funding source.
