From the meeting
The mayor said the village would not renew the Flock camera contract that expired in November, but would keep the original four cameras until that contract comes up in November 2027. The decision was based on effectiveness, cost benefit, and broader concerns about Flock technology. This is a public safety technology renewal and rebid signal, with a clear future review point in November 2027.
It is useful incumbent intelligence for camera, analytics, and policing vendors.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
