Vineyard council takes up resolution to end Flock license plate camera use, an ADU compliance ordinance and three land sales
October 27, 2026, 6:00 p.m. · Vineyard City Hall, 125 S. Main St.
The agenda for Vineyard's Oct. 27 council meeting included Resolution 2026-43, requested by Council Member Jacob Wood, directing the city to end its use of Flock Safety license plate cameras. The cameras in Vineyard are provided through the Utah County Sheriff's Office's agreement with Flock, not a city contract. The council also considered an accessory dwelling unit ordinance to comply with SB 284 and resolutions selling three insignificant city land parcels. The Utah Ledger's reporting, based on the Salt Lake Tribune, says the vote on the Flock resolution was 4-0; minutes had not been posted when this was written.

Item 7.1 · Public safety
Resolution 2026-43: end the city's relationship with Flock Safety
Pending
The resolution, requested by Council Member Jacob Wood, would end the city's use of Flock license plate reader services. Its recitals note that more than 140 local governments had canceled, rejected or deactivated Flock cameras as of August 2026, and cite the U.S. Supreme Court's June 29, 2026 Chatrie v. United States decision on stored location data. It states Vineyard does not contract directly with Flock: the cameras are provided through the Utah County Sheriff's Office's agreement. It directs staff to end any arrangement under which the city pays for Flock, asks the Sheriff's Office to stop service, leave the city out of any renewal and remove the cameras within 30 days or as the agreement permits, and lets the council reconsider after the 2027 legislative session if state law or Flock policies adequately protect privacy. The Utah Ledger's reporting, based on the Salt Lake Tribune, says the council approved it 4-0 and the sheriff's office said it will abide by the vote; no minutes are posted yet.
