Fort Wayne City Council

The vote to delay came after a number of amendments to Councilwoman Rohli Booker's original legislation.

Victory Gardens will offer a variety of housing styles for purchase at a price range between $186,000 and $325,000.

Councilwoman Rohli Booker introduced new ordinances that will create an advisory committee to look at "resource-intensive developments, as well as one that would put a year-long moratorium on new data center construction.

The 5-3 vote by Fort Wayne's City Council came after weeks of Mayor Sharon Tucker's attempts to address issues raised by the Republicans on the council. They voted no anyway.

FWPD Chief P.J. Smith announced Monday that the department will not pursue smaller contracts after the city council voted to cancel its contract with FLOCK. He also said the 36 cameras are now offline and will be removed soon.

Even though Fort Wayne City Council canceled the contract, the police department wants to find a way to keep using the cameras they say are a valuable tool to solve crimes. Mayor Sharon Tucker says "not so fast."

The city's contract came up for renewal earlier in the summer, and after weeks of study and public comment, the council voted 8-0 to discontinue the use of the license plate readers. Councilman Dr. Scott Myers was absent.

Held at the request of the Republicans on city council, Monday evening's hearing featured an opportunity for residents to learn more about the proposed Anchor Resource Center and why 333 E. Washington Boulevard was chosen. Those in attendance also had the opportunity to ask questions and offer their opinion.

Tuesday's council meeting was the last one before the Fort Wayne City Council is set to vote whether to renew the contract for the automatic license plate reading cameras.

The event will be held next week at the Grand Wayne Center. The Republicans on Fort Wayne's City Council refuse to move forward with discussion on the project until a formal public forum is held.
