What the commission decided
The Panama City Commission has taken action on the city’s FLOCK cameras, according to a news item on the city’s website. The item says the decisions cover two things: the required removal of FLOCK cameras located in State rights-of-way, and the next steps for the remaining cameras within the city. The action follows the defunding of the Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for fiscal year 2027, as the item’s headline states.
What the city’s item does not say
The news item does not give how many cameras there are, which ones must come down, or when. It also does not give the date of the decision, the commissioners’ votes, or the cost and operator of the cameras that remain. Those details would be in the Commission’s meeting minutes or agenda, which were not reviewed for this note.
