The July 2025 agenda proposed eight Flock cameras.
The official July 15, 2025 Wayne City Council agenda sought approval for the Police Department to purchase:
- eight Flock cameras;
- at $24,800 per year;
- for two years;
- paid from the Police Department capital-outlay budget; and
- with partial reimbursement expected from Justice Assistance Grants.

An agenda item establishes what was presented for approval. By itself, it is not the recorded vote or signed contract.
Secondary meeting coverage reports that council approved the two-year agreement. The city’s FY 2026-27 adopted budget also lists Flock cameras among significant FY 2027 capital-outlay projects. Together, those sources strongly support procurement, but the executed order and current device record should control the exact present status.

What $24,800 does—and does not—tell us
The agenda describes an annual amount, not the whole two-year gross price. Two years at that stated annual amount would total $49,600 before any change, fee, credit or reimbursement.
Grant reimbursement changes who bears part of the cost. It does not make the vendor price disappear.
The agenda does not establish:
- the contract’s exact effective and expiration dates;
- an automatic-renewal or nonrenewal notice period;
- installation completion or the exact current active count;
- camera locations or ownership details;
- retention and evidence-preservation settings;
- sharing partners or nationwide-search access;
- enabled search and alert features; or
- termination rights.
The most important missing record
The priority is the executed agreement, order form, statement of work and any amendments resulting from the July 2025 action.
That record should identify the actual term and the next point at which Wayne can prevent renewal. Do not infer the deadline simply by adding two years to the meeting date; the signed document may use a different service, installation or acceptance date.
The next useful records
Ask for:
- the adopted July 15, 2025 minutes and vote record;
- every executed Flock order form, agreement and amendment;
- invoices, payments and Justice Assistance Grant reimbursements;
- the current device inventory, ownership, location and operating status;
- current retention, sharing, user-role and audit settings;
- the local ALPR policy and recent audit summaries; and
- the expiration, renewal, nonrenewal and termination terms.
Our position
If Wayne is operating the system, residents should not wait for the final weeks of a two-year term to ask what was purchased or when renewal occurs.
One useful action: obtain the signed agreement now and put the real nonrenewal deadline on the public calendar.
