City Council - 8/11/26
The short version: A raw Glendale City Council meeting upload gives residents a rare chance to see local governance in action, including any votes on surveillance contracts.
Our Take
MyGlendale's straightforward upload of the August 11, 2026 city council session is exactly the kind of unglamorous footage that matters most in the fight against mass surveillance. Flock Safety contracts, ALPR expansions, and data-sharing agreements rarely get debated on cable news — they get approved in meetings like this one, often with minimal public pushback because almost nobody is watching.
We don't have a full transcript or agenda breakdown here, so we're not going to pretend we know exactly what was said. But we'd encourage Glendale residents to actually sit through this footage rather than skip it. If ALPR funding, camera placement, or a Flock renewal is anywhere on that agenda, this is the moment when public comment and council votes lock in surveillance infrastructure for years to come, quietly, on a Tuesday afternoon.
Check whether Glendale already has license plate readers logged on our camera map, and if you want to push back on unchecked expansion, our take-action page walks you through how to show up at meetings just like this one before the next contract gets rubber-stamped.
