Board Of Aldermen 11/05/2026 (Late Start)

The Milford Board of Aldermen meeting on November 5, 2026, included several budget and procurement-related actions. The board approved a $2.5 million allocation from unallocated contingency for recreational enhancements and the Boys & Girls Club expansion. Officials said the funding would largely cover exterior work and was expected to be reimbursed through a federal HUD grant; the project’s combined bids had exceeded available grant budgets, while interior work was expected to rely on private funding and an additional grant. The board also approved a transfer from fund balance for marina projects and maintenance, though no amount was stated in the transcript.

After extended public comment about Flock license-plate reader and camera systems, the board unanimously passed an amended resolution establishing oversight and transparency requirements for public-safety technology: an inventory of technologies in use within 90 days, board discussion and approval for related contracts brought before the city, and notice at least 30 days in advance when practical for acquisitions or activations that materially expand such technology. Speakers cited a camera project described as costing about $550,000 and raised concerns about Flock’s data practices; these were public comments, not board findings. The board did not vote to remove the cameras. Separately, it tabled proposed changes to the beach-and-parks dog ordinance for further stakeholder discussion.
