The Village Board approved a professional services agreement with Revcon Technologies to upgrade equipment at two village parking garages, including payment terminals and an automated license-plate reader (ALPR) system, in a contract not to exceed $460,900 funded from the parking enterprise fund.

Marlon Jackson, the village’s parking and mobility services manager, described the project as replacement of outdated equipment and installation of new payment terminals and control systems. Staff said the project is budgeted in the parking enterprise fund.

Trustees and residents raised data-privacy and oversight questions: where license-plate data would be stored, whether records would be shared outside the village, and who — staff or the vendor — can access images. Jackson explained the ALPR system is intended for parking operations (permit recognition, automated gate opening and streamlined exit) and said the LPR database is stored for parking purposes; he said data is not shared with other entities and that vendor access is limited to servicing the system with village authorization.

Trustees asked staff to provide a memorandum describing technical details, data ownership and safeguards. Several trustees and residents referenced the village’s recent contract cancellation with an outside vendor called Flock and said the Kwik Trip public-comment debate earlier in the meeting highlighted concerns about third-party access to license-plate data.

After debate, Clerk Waters recorded a roll-call vote; trustees voted to approve the contract. Staff said Revcon is the equipment provider and that access for service would be limited and subject to village sign-off when technical intervention is required.

Trustees asked staff to follow up with a written summary outlining ALPR usage policy for parking operations, data storage location, retention period and access controls.
