Marshall County Council planned to meet Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the County Building to consider a resolution by council attorney Marcel Lebbin that would formalize the council’s September vote to end funding for the county’s six Flock cameras, canceling the Flock System agreement Dec. 31, 2026 (Giant FM).

Other agenda items included adopting the 2027 budget; approving the Lebbin Law invoice; reports from Budget/Finance, Highway and Job Classification and Compensation subcommittees; a job-descriptions addendum and a 2025 Salary Ordinance amendment; consideration of appropriations and transfers (including Solid Waste); and the Marshall County Museum quarterly report. The meeting was to be streamed on the county’s YouTube channel (Giant FM).

WHY IT MATTERS

The county’s announcement centered on a formal, written step under Indiana Code to cancel the Flock System government agency customer agreement and to record that funds are not appropriated to continue it. In plain terms, the resolution would codify the council’s September 2026 decision to stop funding the county’s six Flock cameras and set the contract’s end date as Dec. 31, 2026 (Giant FM).

That action matters to local officials because canceling a vendor agreement and identifying a lack of appropriated funds are the administrative steps that allow a county to stop paying for a service. For residents and any county operations that used data or services from those cameras, the practical effect depends on whether the county, its law enforcement partners, or other entities arrange a replacement or new funding; the county’s notice does not report any replacement plan (Giant FM).

Watch for the council’s official minutes, the adopted resolution text and the streamed meeting recording on the county’s YouTube channel for the final vote language and any fiscal details about transfers or appropriations tied to the 2027 budget (Giant FM).
