cameras, citing concerns about privacy, potential abuse, and data security. Mr. Annis advocated
warrant -based data access and cautioned against expanding surveillance in the community.
CCM 072326 Minutes Page 4
Charles R. Fleeger from College Station, Executive Director of the Amber Alert network, highlighted
the benefits of license plate reader technology in locating missing children and adults. He emphasized
that such technology enables law enforcement to quickly identify vehicles and collaborate across
jurisdictions, improving recovery outcomes in Amber Alert cases.
Kody Fox from College Station questioned the effectiveness of ALPR technology, citing low rates of
vehicle recoveries and arrests compared to the volume of license plate scans. He expressed concerns
about mass surveillance and profiling, noting College Station's crime rates are below national
averages, and urged the Council to cancel the contract for ALPR technologies.
Carlo Dal Colletto from College Station expressed concerns about privacy and data use related to
Flock cameras, citing issues with live video recording, data access, and the company's trustworthiness.
He urged the Council to cancel the contract, noting that most searches of the camera network benefit
parties outside the intended city government.
Brittney Mangum from College Station acknowledged the benefits of surveillance technology for
public safety but raised concerns about privacy and the normalization of tracking by private
companies. Ms. Mangum encouraged the Council to consider safeguards such as independent audits,
public reporting, and clear standards for data access, emphasizing the need to balance safety and
individual freedom.
Steve Elkins from College Station expressed support for Flock cameras, stating they help law
enforcement and deter crime. Mr. Elkins emphasized that public observation of license plates is not
illegal, not used for tracking individuals but rather vehicles, and clarified that the city's contract does
not include live video surveillance.
Zach Truelock from College Station urged the Council to place a moratorium on expanding automated
license plate reader systems, including Flock. Mr. Truelock raised concerns about mass surveillance,
privacy, civil liberties, data retention, and lack of public oversight, recommending no further
installations until a full public process and safeguards are established.
Christopher Morgan, Vice President of the College Station Police Officers Association, expressed
support for Flock LPR cameras as an effective tool for public safety. Mr. Morgan emphasized that the
cameras help law enforcement solve crimes and assist neighboring agencies, while safeguards are in
place to address privacy concerns and prevent misuse.
Chandler Arden from College Station expressed support for Flock cameras, emphasizing that even one
solved crime makes the system worthwhile. Mr. Arden encouraged the Council to provide law
enforcement with tools that help protect victims.
James Sun from College Station expressed concerns about Flock cameras, citing incidents of wrongful
arrests and traffic stops caused by AI errors. Mr. Sun warned that such mistakes can endanger innocent
people and erode public trust and noted that the city —not Flock —may bear liability for errors. He
urged the Council not to expand surveillance systems that treat everyone as a suspect.
John Hamilton from College Station raised concerns about security vulnerabilities in Flock cameras,
citing multiple documented flaws and unresolved CVE codes. Mr. Hamilton described what he
believes are incidents of exposed data and questioned the company's handling of security breaches
CCM 072326 Minutes Page 5
and claims of encryption. He urged the Council to question the Flock representative about these
vulnerabilities and requested a motion to cancel the city's contract with Flock.
Ivan Svrcek from Bryan questioned the Council's limits on surveillance and their understanding of
current technologies. Mr. Svrcek described how networked cameras and data aggregation enable
extensive tracking and analysis of individuals' movements, raising privacy concerns. He highlighted
the use of open -source intelligence and additional data streams and urged the Council to reject further
expansion of surveillance systems.
Timothy Shammas from College Station expressed opposition to Flock cameras, supporting law
enforcement but criticizing the company for dishonest practices, warrantless searches, and privacy
concerns. Mr. Shammas highlighted issues with data access, evolving surveillance capabilities, lack
of transparency, and ongoing errors leading to wrongful detentions.
Devon Oechsle from Bryan urged the Council to end the contract with Flock cameras, citing concerns
about mass surveillance, lack of warrants, and privacy. Mrs. Oechsle referenced a recent Supreme
Court ruling on bulk location data and called for immediate contract termination, noting similar actions
by other cities and emphasizing the importance of protecting community privacy.
Duke Blaney from Bryan expressed opposition to Flock cameras, describing them as mass surveillance
systems that violate privacy and constitutional rights. Mr. Blaney believes that the cameras track not
only vehicles but also pedestrians, creating demographic profiles without probable cause. He urged
the Council to reject the system, citing Supreme Court precedent and widespread community
opposition.

interconnections as a vital safety net for the region's water supply.
• Evaluation of Collaborative Opportunities: Staff continue to actively review potential resource
efficiencies with neighboring providers.
• Wellborn SUD Infrastructure Project: During the design phase of Wellborn SUD's system
expansion, both agencies evaluated the feasibility of using the City's system to convey
additional supply. The joint assessment determined that the City lacked sufficient conveyance
capacity for combined demands without major system upgrades. Required improvements
included a new large -diameter parallel transmission pipeline, substantial pump station
upgrades, and plant expansions to ensure compliance, pressure safety, and redundancy.
CCM 072326 Minutes Page 6
8.4. Presentation. discussion. and possible action regarding Big 6 community branding signage.
Ross Brady, Chief of Staff, introduced Steve Beachy and Manjit Yadav to present a citizen -initiated
proposal for a coordinated, community -wide signage and public -art strategy. The proposal aims to
deploy signage and public art along the full twelve -mile Highway 6 corridor, creating a unified
narrative of "Welcome to Aggieland."
The proposal is designed to enhance community identity and cohesion through visual storytelling. If
the council decides to move forward, staff will gather cost estimates and present them at a future
council meeting. This initiative reflects community engagement and aims to strengthen the city's
brand and sense of place along a major corridor. The next steps depend on council direction and further
cost analysis.
Steve Beechey and Manjit Yadav proposed using the Big 6 highway for community branding, signage,
and public art. Their vision includes bold signage and gateway monuments to create a unique
experience and tell the community's story. They discussed collaboration with Texas A&M, City of
Bryan, and other stakeholders, and emphasized the need for coordination with TxDOT, Brazos
County, and private businesses. Council members supported the idea and considered forming a joint
planning committee. Funding, grants, and guidelines for signage and art were also addressed.
The Council directed city management and staff to further explore the community branding signage
proposal, coordinating with appropriate departments and counterparts in the City of Bryan.

Michael DeHaven, Assistant Finance Director, explained that the City of College Station actively
manages its debt service obligations, seeking opportunities to reduce costs and maintain a consistent
debt service rate. The city uses refunding bonds to refinance eligible bonds and, when possible, cash
to defease (pay off early) eligible bonds. This approach involves constant evaluation of interest rates
and available funds to identify cost -saving opportunities. Each new bond issue becomes callable
(eligible for early payoff) after 10 years. The city plans to defease a portion of the 2014 Series General
Obligation Improvements and Refunding Bonds, which will result in:
• Cashflow savings of $902,109 over the life of the bonds
• Net present value (NPV) savings of $406,003, or 5.53% compared to the opportunity cost of
the funds used for defeasance
• Remaining bond coupons are at 3.80%
• Balance of debt service obligation is $7,338,188
• Defeasance funds needed: $6,436,078 (including $6,000 in defeasance expenses)
• Debt Service Fund Only — applies to governmental funds, not enterprise funds
This planned defeasance was forecasted in the city's 5-year Debt Service Fund forecast during the
FY26 budget. Staff recommends council approval of the ordinance authorizing the redemption of a
portion of the bonds and approving a related escrow agreement.
