The College Station City Council is scheduled to hold its monthly session on September 24, 2026, at 6 p.m. at City Hall. The agenda features several key items, including discussions on outside agency funding, budget amendments, and agreements with the Corinth Group and Bass Pro Shop.

A central focus of the meeting will be the deployment of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. The council plans to consider two separate contracts with Flock Group. One agreement, capped at $158,000, covers the installation of these readers on roads maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation. A second agreement, valued at $141,062, addresses the placement of cameras on non-TxDOT roads.

According to the provided materials, these cameras are intended to assist law enforcement in combating auto theft. They also aid in identifying vehicles connected to shootings, robberies, kidnappings, and other criminal activities.

Residents who are unable to attend the session in person have several options to follow the proceedings. A live blog is available at blog.cstx.gov. Additionally, the meeting will be streamed live on Optimum Channel 19, via the cstx.gov/cstv19 webpage, and on YouTube.
