Kendall County approves the use of Flock Safety license plate readers
Automatic license plate readers have made their way into municipalities across the state, with Kendall County joining the implementation of Flock Safety Cameras following grant funding approval at the Sept. 23 Commis- sioners Court meeting. An agreement for the cameras to be put in the county right of way was approved Oct. 14. What’s happening? The county received grant fund- ing to support the installation of license plate readers, resulting in the county paying a match of around $43,000 for the $258,305 project. Staff said if the county contin- ues to use the cameras after this year, the potential recurring cost could be around $198,550. This cost assumes the county is not awarded additional grant funding. Kendall County Auditor Corinna Speer said the county budgeted for the project, anticipating paying the match. Moving forward From the payment, the county will receive approximately 58 cameras for installation at identi- fied locations. Fair Oaks Ranch City Council on Oct. 16 approved Unified Develop- ment Code amendments, outlin- ing development regulations and procedures in the city. City Council has discussed code amendments over the last year, while staff have worked on the Fair Oaks Ranch amends codes

Precinct 2 Commissioner Andra Wisian raised concerns about the privacy of the cameras and what will be photographed. County staff said the readers will only capture images of the vehicle and the license plate with no in-cab view, meaning the cameras will not capture images of drivers or passengers. update for around four years. “What I believe has come from this is a UDC that defines Fair Oaks Ranch aesthetics,” Mayor Greg Maxton said. The details City Planner Jessica Relucio, on Oct. 2, walked through amend- ments, which include changes to screening standards, a conser- vation development alternative, subdivision design, signs, trees, site development and more.
