Six state-road cameras under FDOT. The referral still stands.

1 Sep 2026 · Axios · FDOT compliance

Spokesperson Yolanda Fernandez told Axios that St. Petersburg PD will remove six cameras on state roadways and will not make any other changes. That is state-road compliance under the FDOT memo. It is not a City Council cancel. It is not a full pull.

The council act on the record remains the 27 Aug G-1: an 8-0 referral to Public Services and Infrastructure. A referral is not a pull. Other cameras stay.

Council Chambers, City Hall, 175 5th St N, from the city’s own Council page and from city news on the same Aug 27 date.

Same day, not Flock

This is a referral request, not a PSI Flock hearing. Same-day committees on the packet calendar are Economic and Workforce Development at 8:30 AM and Health, Energy, Resiliency and Sustainability at 9:55 AM, Conference Room 100. A 5:01 PM public hearing is utility rates and fees, not Flock (stpete.org news, 31 Jul 2026). Do not conflate those with G-1. A yes on G-1 sends the topic to a later committee. It does not cancel the contract that day.

How to speak

That window is closed. G-1 was New Business, not a public hearing. Expired Zoom and pre-meeting signup are not repeated here.
