Sheboygan Council to Consider Ending Flock Safety Contract September 8
Sheboygan, Wisconsin — September 8, 2026.
The Sheboygan Common Council is scheduled to consider a request to terminate the city’s Flock Safety automated license-plate camera contract during its regular meeting at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 8.
The request is being presented by Police Chief Kurt Zempel and City Administrator Casey Bradley. The official meeting listing identifies the gathering as the Eleventh Regular Common Council Meeting for the City of Sheboygan.
What the city says has changed
According to an August 25 City of Sheboygan notice, the city has operated 15 Flock Safety cameras since early 2024. City staff have begun covering the cameras while officials work through the contract process.
The city says covering the cameras prevents further collection of vehicle license-plate data. That step is separate from the council’s scheduled consideration of the termination request.
Why the decision matters locally
The discussion involves the city’s use of automated camera technology, data collection, privacy, transparency and contract oversight. For Sheboygan residents, the key distinction is that the September 8 meeting concerns a proposed contract termination, not a confirmed final termination.
The city’s notice does not establish the outcome of the council’s consideration. The contract should not be described as ended unless an official post-meeting record confirms council action.
How residents can follow the meeting
Residents should use the City of Sheboygan’s Common Council information page and the official meeting listing for current participation, public-comment and access instructions. The meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
For readers following the issue, the next important updates will be the council’s action, any direction given to city staff and whether the city later publishes a final contract status.
