The council withdrew resolution 26-61399, which would have authorized the police department to apply for Fiscal Year 2026 CPD micro grants from the U.S. Department of Justice to support drone operations. The clerk said the item “is being withdrawn because this council does not support an expansion of our drone program until a number of questions and concerns are addressed and we will not be authorizing this grant application.”
No further action was taken; councilmembers indicated they expect staff to return with more information before reconsidering any expansion or grant application related to drones.
