Union County Board Meeting 10.23.2026

The Union County Board meeting, identified by the title as October 23, 2026, included public comments about the county’s reported nearly $40,000, two-year contract with Flock Safety for license-plate readers and Condor solar-powered cameras, with coordinated deployments in Anna and Dongola. Speakers urged the board to cancel the agreement, citing privacy and surveillance concerns and potential legal exposure, and asked for a board discussion. No motion or vote on the contract was recorded. A committee report also relayed outside funding announcements, including an equipment grant of up to $50,000 for fire departments, a local food infrastructure grant, and demolition-grant applications; these were not presented as county purchasing decisions. The board approved an updated county clerk fee ordinance, citing increased operating costs, and approved a resolution supporting continued operation of the State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor for FY2027. No new procurement award was recorded.
