What We Know: Springfield City Councilman Brandon Jenson says his resolution calling for a review of the city’s Flock license plate cameras was written earlier this summer, giving council nearly two weeks to review it.
What It Means: Jenson says he learned just hours before Monday’s meeting that Mayor Jeff Schrag wanted the resolution sent to committee.
That’s what happened. Council voted 5-3 to send it to the Plans and Policies Committee before a scheduled public hearing, drawing a loud response from people in the crowd.
What’s Next: Schrag says the committee needs to define the scope of the review before a public hearing can be meaningful.
