August 6, 2026. What is on the calendar this week and what the records show behind it.
Four decisions sit inside the next three weeks, and the largest of them is not a vote.
Columbus holds a hearing, not a vote
Columbus council meets at 4pm on August 10 for a public hearing on Flock, with no measure on the floor. Council member Emmanuel Remy requested the police audit that prompted it, and says his team is still evaluating what better safeguards are needed before deciding how to move forward.
The audit is the substance. Across roughly 19.6 million searches over three years, 15,577 were potentially immigration related. None came directly from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations made 3,962 searches between them, 657 of them potentially immigration related, and 287(g) agencies made 608 more. Twenty of the 15,577 came from Columbus police personnel, and all but 6 of those are recorded as general assistance to Homeland Security Investigations. The remaining 6 trace to a single February 2025 search where an officer entered ICE as the stated reason, with further inquiry pending.
Mayor Andrew Ginther ordered police to stop statewide sharing on July 11, after the department had already limited nationwide access in June. The department launched a Flock transparency portal that lists 346 departments it shares with one to one, 77 it only gives data to, and 138 it only takes data from. Deputy Chief Tim Myers told council in June that 48 cameras were active with 28 more in permitting or installation, inside a network of more than 600 available cameras. The current Columbus contract runs through November.
Chandler decides on August 13
Chandler is the nearest actual decision. The council has been weighing whether to end its contract since June, after residents noticed three readers reinstalled in the Galveston neighbourhood. The city says those were February relocations rather than new sites. Chandler is contracted for up to 40 readers and dropped the gunshot detection part of its 2024 pilot in 2025.
Fort Wayne returns on August 25
Fort Wayne council voted on July 14 to hold its decision on a $120,250, one-year renewal covering 36 cameras until the August 25 meeting. It is the only Indiana record at Renewal upcoming.
Binghamton renews without anyone voting
Binghamton holds two contracts, and the first renews automatically this month. Council chair Michael Dundon told residents in July that the council has no power over it, because cancellation authority rests with the mayor. Deputy Mayor Megan Heiman has said the mayor does not intend to end it. The second contract comes up in January.
One correction to our own calendar: it lists Columbus as a scheduled vote. August 10 is a public hearing, and the record page says so. How to Read a Week of Flock Decisions explains why a hearing, a deferral, and an automatic renewal each leave the ledger untouched.
