Council schedules discussion on paid Flock invoice

In response to public reaction over the city’s payment of a $17,000 invoice to Flock Safety Systems, council member Debbie Breen requested the item be placed back on the agenda for discussion and possible action at the May 26 City Council meeting.

Public reaction has extended beyond Bandera, with discussion appearing on platforms including The Washington Post, Reddit and the Houston Chronicle following council member Jeff Flowers’ recent open letter to residents.

In the letter, Flowers proposed a return to policies he described as reflecting an earlier era, including a citywide ban on cell phones and front-facing cameras. The proposal prompted discussion among residents on social media and other public forums.
