Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias ordered Flock Safety to stop sharing license plate data with U.S. Customs and Border Protection after a June audit found the company had violated state law by allowing access to cameras on Illinois roads—he urged local police to review their contracts with Flock to comply with the Trust Act.

At Monday's city council meeting, the group Not In Our Town urged council members to sign its pledge against intolerance and bigotry—Mayor Dan Brady and others supported the call while warning about extremist flyers planning a hate march.

The council also approved changes to the Enterprise Zone boundaries, postponed zoning proposals for missing middle housing, and passed a budget amendment for a public works plan on former nursery land.
