BALDWIN, Ga. — The Baldwin City Council will take up a proposed agreement for license plate reader cameras Tuesday night, while the closely watched Cook Construction annexation will not be on the agenda.
According to the Feb. 17 meeting agenda, council members are scheduled to consider and vote on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the Baldwin Police Department’s proposed use of FLOCK Safety cameras.
Council members previously voted to table the measure after determining that a formal MOU was not yet in place outlining the agreement, including terms under which the company would pay for all five cameras proposed for installation within the city.
Tuesday’s vote would determine whether the city formally enters into that agreement.
Cook annexation set for March
Notably absent from Tuesday’s agenda is the proposed Cook Construction annexation and rezoning along the Ga. 365 corridor, which has drawn significant public attention in recent weeks.
City officials have announced that a public hearing on the annexation application will be held at 6 p.m. March 3 at the Baldwin Municipal Courtroom. Second readings of the annexation and zoning ordinances are currently scheduled for March 17.
The Feb. 17 meeting will also include a report from Fire Chief Ross Jackson and consideration of a consulting services agreement with CKH Consulting. Council members are also expected to authorize requests for proposals for legal services, prosecutor and municipal judge positions.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Baldwin Municipal Courtroom, 155 Willingham Ave.
