Flock Safety <br />Page 2 <br />Goal A: Increased enforcement and responsiveness to drugs, traffic, code violations, <br />and petty crimes. <br />Goal C: Network with other communities and organizations <br />Financial Impact <br />After the pilot period, the first -year total will be $36,500 with an annual accruing fee of <br />$30,000 for the second year. This is considering 10 cameras so if we have fewer <br />cameras the cost will go down. The 2023 Minnesota Legislature enacted a one-time <br />Public Safety Aid package. The one-time appropriation of $300 million is <br />allocated among all counties, cities, townships of a population of 10,000 or more. <br />Mounds View is projected to receive approximately $574,704. This would definitely be a <br />beneficial and responsible way to spend some of this money. <br />Other local communities including Woodbury, U of M PD, Maple Grove PD, Brooklyn <br />Center PD, Fridley PD, Orono PD, West Hennepin DPS, Wayzata PD, Coon Rapids <br />PD, Roseville PD, St. Louis Park PD, Minnetonka PD, Edina PD Champlin PD, <br />Plymouth PD, Robbinsdale PD as well as several agencies in Wisconsin have chosen <br />the Flock system. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorizing moving forward with the 45-day pilot project. Staff will <br />return after the pilot project requesting approval of the two-year Flock agreement. <br />Attachments: <br />• Flock Safety Agreement <br />• Flock Safety PowerPoint <br />• Flock Safety informational handouts <br />• Flock Safety camera pole photo <br />Respectfull Submitted, <br />Ben Zender <br />Chief of Police <br />
