## Council Vote
Horace City Council voted 3-1 Monday night to remove Flock Safety cameras from the city.
## Chalmers' Concerns
Councilmember Chad Chalmers said Flock Cameras typically only show pros without considering cons.

> It seems like with Flock Cameras, typically when they’re being presented, just the pros are being considered and not the cons
## No Cost Grant
The cameras are provided to Horace at no cost through a county grant.
## Oversight Questions
Chalmers questioned long-term oversight of the camera system with changing demographics.

> You’re the Sheriff now, the Sheriff in four years, five years, six years, who knows, with changing demographics, we don’t know who’s going to be in control of the system
## Sheriff's Defense
Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner defended department’s handling of the technology with accountability measures.

> I do hope that people would trust me as the Cass County Sheriff, the track record, the transparency and openness that we’ve had that if we had a deputy that misuses it, that they would be held accountable for it. We have policies in place for that
## Public Comments
Residents said Flock cameras caused privacy concerns but also helped solve cases.
