Monroe City Council to consider FLOCK camera system, impact fees, at Tuesday’s meeting

The Monroe City Council will have its March 2023 meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14, in Council Chambers at City Hall, 215 N Broad St.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the City Council will consider spending $28,500 the first year and $25,000 annually subsequently to install 10 FLOCK cameras in precise locations within the city limits. These cameras have the ability to scan license plates on vehicles that pass by and also would allow law enforcement to investigate crimes that occur within the city. The cameras would be located primarily within major thoroughfares.

Another item to be considered is funding a study on impact fees on development in the city, particularly in the light of the June 30th expiration of the current plat moratorium.

The full agenda follows. The public is invited to attend.
