Quincy City Council Ordinance Committee and City Council meeting, November 9, 2026: The council approved Order 2026-142, as amended, 8–1, establishing council review and public input before the city adopts or expands covered surveillance technologies. Requirements include impact reports, use policies, safeguards and audit procedures, and annual reporting. Police Chief Mark Kennedy said the city is evaluating ALPR options—including an on-premises system—and has not selected a replacement vendor; he also said Flock cameras were deactivated and are expected to be removed. The council separately approved a resolution urging state regulation of ALPRs. No surveillance contract award was made.

The council unanimously approved a resolution opposing efforts to waive state public-land lease limits and competitive-bidding requirements for a proposed long-term Quarry Hills lease, and directed that it be sent to state officials. The council discussed the need for an audit and competitive process; no lease award or extension was approved. Two MWRA sewer and drainage infrastructure appropriations—$4.17 million for Phase 14 and $5.34 million for Phase 16 of the Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Program—were referred to Finance, not approved for spending at this meeting. A $10,000 Chamber of Commerce donation from the student-built Tiny House Project will support Quincy Public Schools’ career and technical education equipment and supplies.
