Conroe City Council indefinitely tables 2 Flock camera proposals

Two proposals tied to Conroe’s use of Flock Safety cameras were tabled indefinitely July 23 after City Council members voted unanimously to set both items aside.

One proposal would have created a temporary citizens advisory committee to study the city’s use of automated license plate recognition technology. The second would have asked the city attorney to determine whether residents could vote on Conroe’s participation in the Flock program.

The votes do not terminate, suspend or change the city’s Flock agreement. City Council also did not set a date for either proposal to return.

What happened: Council member Kristin Hoisington, who co-sponsored the advisory committee proposal with Mayor Pro Tem John Sellars, moved to postpone the item indefinitely. Sellars supported the motion.

What residents said: Several residents asked council members to reject both proposals and instead end the city’s agreement with Flock during public comment.

Conroe resident James Fletes said creating a committee or pursuing an election would delay a decision while the cameras continued operating.
