Elkhorn, WI Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 5-0 by Elkhorn Common Council on March 20, 2023.

The Elkhorn Common Council took up item 12h on March 20, 2023, a proposed services agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for automated license plate readers. The order form filed in the council document library covers 4 Falcon cameras at 2,500 dollars each per year plus a standard implementation fee of 350 dollars per camera, so year one comes to 11,400 dollars. The form prints a total contract amount of 21,400 dollars for the whole 24 month initial term, and it sets an automatic 24 month renewal unless either side gives 30 days notice. Alderman McClory asked that the contract and the draft policy be attached to the minutes. City Attorney Phillips wanted to review the contract with the police chief first, and Police Chief Christensen said the price would go up if the agreement was not signed by the end of the month. The council amended the motion to move forward subject to city attorney review before the end of March, then passed it on a 5 to 0 roll call. The same agenda carried a separate discussion of draft Police Department policy 425 on use of the readers. The order form prints no start or end date because the term begins on first installation and validation of the hardware. The minutes record the 5 council members by surname only.
