The Public Safety Commission for the City of Austin will have a special called meeting this month to discuss license plate readers, as well as the 3-1-1 system and 9-1-1 call centers.
Both were originally on the Monday, May 1 agenda, but the meeting took a different route when APD Chief Joseph Chacon addressed commissioners.
"I’m just going to be very direct and let you all know that I did not come prepared today to talk about LPRs or anything else that’s on the agenda," said Chief Chacon.
Chief Chacon said a recent meeting with the commission chair was productive, and he hopes to move forward. "We did have a productive meeting on Friday, and I did feel good about it, and I expressed that I was ready for us to reset because we have a lot of conversations to have," said Nelly Paulina Ramírez, chair of the commission. "I am disappointed that I am finding out right this second in the middle of a live meeting that you aren’t going to be participating in our meeting."
Further discussion on license plate readers was postponed as well as discussion of 3-1-1 and 9-1-1. Both items will be discussed during a special called meeting that will take place before the May 18 city council meeting. , council is expected to "authorize negotiation and execution of a contract for license plate reader camera systems and services" with a vendor.
