Frisco City Council members will get a Police Department briefing on three technologies at a work session Tuesday, Nov. 17: drones sent out as first responders, license plate recognition and what the agenda calls "Hyper AI Call-taking Systems."
The agenda, posted Wednesday afternoon, lists the item as a discussion and overview. No vote is scheduled, and the posting includes no staff report or presentation describing how the systems work, what they cost or what data they collect.
The session starts at 3:30 p.m. in Training Room 252 on the second floor of the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center. It opens with a discussion of the council's rules of procedure for public testimony and public comment, both on agenda items and on other topics, including Ordinance No. 19-10-86.
That ordinance, as summarized on the city's meeting notices, gives each speaker up to five minutes. When 10 or more people show up to speak on a single item, the council can vote to shorten the limit to three minutes. The agenda does not say what changes, if any, are under consideration.
Police business shows up again on the regular agenda that evening. Two consent items would accept grants through the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority: a fiscal 2027 task force grant, with Frisco as a subgrantee, and a fiscal 2027 catalytic converter theft prevention grant tied to Senate Bill 224. The agenda does not list amounts.
Other consent items include a resolution signing on to the national opioid litigation settlement with Albertsons Companies, and purchase orders for 17 vehicles from Silsbee Ford, a street sweeper and two hydro-excavator trucks.
