What this means
The committee paused action on changes to the truancy ordinance so staff and board members can review options at the next meeting. Members voted to recommend ending the city’s Flock camera program and approved a separate policy to provide public oversight and accountability for automated license-plate readers (ALPRs), which are cameras that read vehicle plates. The committee also approved renewals and short-term alcohol permits for local events, so scheduled festivals and vendor licenses can proceed.
