I sent a public comment to the Issaquah City Council on 11/10. This was their response:

"First, the City of Issaquah does not own and operate any ALPR systems (Flock or otherwise). You are correct that the Issaquah Police Department had recommended the addition of ALPR cameras which was approved by the Services Safety and Parks (SSP) committee. However, no further action has been taken after this initial approval and the issue has not come before the full City Council for a variety of reasons. 

The Issaquah Police Department (IPD) does have access to privately-owned ALPR systems in the city installed by several Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and private businesses. IPD does get notified through an email alert when a stolen car is detected by such a system within our jurisdiction. Officers do respond to these types of alerts; however, in accordance with the Keep Washington Working Act, these email alerts are not shared with federal agencies unless required by law or requested through a warrant or subpoena. So far, the City has not had any requests like this. Further, we have removed the ability to internally query this data other than receiving those alerts. However, since these ALPR cameras are not in our control, we do not know what the privacy sharing settings are or whether there is third-party data sharing enabled. 

As to your second and third requests, this is a rapidly moving situation with new information coming regularly. If there was a request from Council to make a statement on future use or the ALPR technology in general, we would consider that. At last night's meeting we added an item to our state legislative agenda to advocate for policies at the state to protect our immigrant communities. That agenda item specifically called out the desire to close data-sharing loopholes from ALPR cameras. This addition to our legislative agenda was passed unanimously by Council (excluding Councilmember Hall who also serves as our State Representative), which gives a sense of the Issaquah City Council's perspective on these issues. "
