Trusted by teams at
Description
Austin Parks and Recreation had proposed a multi‑million‑dollar contract with LiveView Technologies for AI surveillance cameras in city parks, but the agenda item was withdrawn shortly before the council meeting amid strong public opposition. Residents criticized both the surveillance approach and the department’s pattern of pulling the item just before scheduled public comment.
