# Excelsior Springs Ends Flock Safety Contract

On October 19, 2026, the Excelsior Springs City Council unanimously voted to end the city’s agreement with Flock Safety for automated license plate reader technology. The ordinance bars city funding for the agreement in fiscal year 2027 and directs the city manager to terminate it within 30 days. No contract value or replacement procurement was identified.

- Flock Safety is the incumbent contractor; the termination directive gives the city manager until November 18, 2026, to carry it out.
- The FY2027 funding restriction makes this a near-term contract exit for the city and removes funding for the agreement from that fiscal year.
- The signal identifies no replacement system or solicitation. Contractors offering alternative license plate reader or related public-safety technology should not assume a new procurement is planned.
