Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing the League City Neighborhood Flock Camera Initiative (Mayor Long and Council Member Mann)
Background:
Approval of the resolution will establish parameters for the League City Neighborhood Flock Camera Initiative which provides $200,000 in funding over a twenty-four month period for the installation of Flock safety license plate reader cameras at a cost of $106,000 in Year 1 and $94,000 in Year 2.
This program will fund an estimated 37 cameras, will be on a first-come, first-served basis limited by available funding and will terminate after twenty-four months.
The City will either enter into an agreement with Flock Safety on a neighborhood’s behalf for a twenty-four month period or reimburse neighborhoods for their Flock camera costs for twenty-four months if the neighborhoods have an agreement with Flock Safety.
Program parameters include:
1. HOA must submit a written request from the appropriate neighborhood representatives no later than July 1, 2024, along with appropriate HOA meeting minutes.
2. HOA must coordinate with the League City Police Department on the site selection and placement of cameras to facilitate coordination of coverage with the core network and other participating neighborhoods.
3. HOA must provide the League City Police Department full access to the cameras for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
4. HOA must agree to take over the financial obligation for the cameras within its community if it would like to maintain the cameras beyond the twenty-four month period.
Any remaining funds will be carried over to support the Neighborhood Flock Camera Initiative in the following budget year.
