    "notes": "A three-month, no-cost pilot of Axon plate-reader cameras on city streetlights. The city council paused it on 9 October 2026; on 27 October a vote to veto it failed 9-6, short of the ten votes needed, so it can proceed. A separate ten-year, $235m Axon contract covering body cameras, Tasers and plate readers for about 1,600 vehicles awaits council approval.",
