District Board Minutes for June 23,2021.

by Leo Daniels to accept the minutes as presented. Motion seconded by Board Member Joe
Tellez. Heath Williams inquired regarding a budget item and the police cars, which was
confirmed by Chief Arata, and one other question asking if data from Flock camera system was
saved for thirty days. This was also confirmed, but noted that research may be accessed if the
Department needed it for some reason. Heath also made note of Chief Arata's leadership and
the idea of getting an electric motorbike for the Department.
Motion approved by a vote of 7-0.
2. Public Hearing—FY 2021-2022 proposed Annual Budget for the Trophy Club Crime Control and
Prevention District.
a. Chairperson J.J. Isherwood opened a Public Hearing. Chief Arata addressed the Committee
and reminded the Board what was discussed at last meeting. Chief did have one update
regarding the Flock camera system. After researching, he found that Flock has a "transparency
portal" that will be put on the website once implemented. This will allow citizens to access data
and how the Police Department is using the cameras. That will not include arrests; Flock does
not have direct access to that information. It will show how many times the Police Department
accesses the records (i.e., if 1,000 cars came thru in a month and Department looked at that
information three times, it will show system was utilized three times). Other items such as the
electric motor bike will be more fuel efficient and allow the Department to go places it has not
been able to access before such as golf course,country club, trails, etc. Another update we are
looking to is the Brazos ticket writer, to improve current CAD system, which has failures at times
and causes Officers to continue to use paper tickets during failures. J.J. pointed out that the
updated system would free up Officers so they can be more aware of surroundings at all times
and help eliminate need for more admin type work for them. Chief mentioned enhanced
training that will be coming up also. Chief asked for any additional comments or questions;
there were none.
b. Public Hearing closed by Chairperson J.J. Isherwood
Closing comments were made regarding the charity softball game,the installation time frame of
the camera system (can be as soon as October),the July 4t'event, and renewal of Board
Members.
