Impact analysis
Dropping the contract could save Ferndale licensing fees, but the city may face transition or removal costs—so the net budget effect isn’t clear yet.
Privacy-minded residents and civil-liberties advocates would gain if fewer license-plate cameras are watching local streets.
Police departments that rely on the cameras for investigations could lose a tool, and the vendor could lose a customer.
