# BCC Workshop - 09-29-2026 PM

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners workshop, September 29, 2026: Staff reviewed automated license plate reader (ALPR) permits and privacy safeguards. The county has about 50 ALPR locations in place or approved; of 20 applications received this year, six had been approved before the board’s September 1 direction to pause further approvals. Flock Safety, Axon, and Genetec were identified as manufacturers. PBSO described case-number and reason-code requirements, weekly audits, and law-enforcement access controls, but could not answer several questions about vendor contracts, data retention, access, and AI features. Commissioners requested written answers and further discussion; no new permits or vendor contract awards were approved at this workshop.

Staff also presented potential budget effects if Amendment 3 passes, including projected revenue shortfalls and possible reductions to services and capital spending. The county’s capital improvement plan had about $500 million in projects planned for issuance, and staff identified approximately $14 million in 2028 election equipment replacement costs. Fire-rescue apparatus and facility costs were also discussed, but no specific purchases, funding allocations, or procurement actions were approved. The board provided direction to treat employees consistently in potential budget adjustments and discussed holding a budget-priorities workshop after the amendment’s outcome is known. Other recorded motions concerned appointments and observances, not procurement.
