Fire Station 4 gets a new generator, Station 5 and the amphitheater get transfer switches, and the city buys a portable generator for outages.
Flock Safety camera privacy concerns
A resident made his third appeal to cancel the Flock camera contract, citing abuse of the system elsewhere. Police credited the cameras with catching violent criminals and finding a kidnapped Mentor victim; officials say data is deleted after 30 days and audits show no local misuse.
Deer hunting permit transparency
