Thank you for your email to Mahoning Township with your request for information pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right-To-Know law.

On July 16, 2023 (received by email on July 17, 2026) you requested: 1. The License Agreement between Mahoning Township (and/or the Mahoning Township Police Department) and Flock Group Inc. and the Borough of Lehighton, dated May 6, 2024, DocuSign Envelope ID 5A47329E-D515-4DAF-8FO0E-99DA258617E5S, authorizing installation of an automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera on Utility Pole No. P20, and all attachments, exhibits, and appendices thereto. 2. Any master contract, service agreement, or agreement of any kind between Mahoning Township (and/or the Mahoning Township Police Department) and Flock Safety, Inc. or Flock Group Inc. governing the provision of ALPR camera hardware, software, or services, including any agreement referenced or incorporated by the document described in Item 1 above. 3. Any records identifying the physical installation locations (addresses, GPS coordinates, cross streets, or pole/mounting identifiers) of all fixed ALPR cameras owned, operated, or authorized by Mahoning Township and/or the Mahoning Township Police Department, whether located within Mahoning Township or on property in another municipality.

Your request is denied. Item 1: Section 708.(b)(2) A record maintained by an agency in connection with the military, homeland security, national defense, law enforcement or other public safety activity that if disclosed would be reasonably likely to jeopardize or threaten public safety or preparedness or public protection activity or a record that is designated classified by an appropriate Federal or State military authority. (b)(3) A record, the disclosure of which creates a reasonable likelihood of endangering the safety or the physical security of a building, public utility, resource, infrastructure, facility or information storage system, which may include:

- (i) documents or data relating to computer hardware, source files, software and system networks that could jeopardize computer security by exposing a vulnerability in preventing, protecting against, mitigating or responding to a terrorist act;

- (ii) lists of infrastructure, resources and significant special events, including those defined by the Federal Government in the National Infrastructure Protections, which are deemed critical due to their nature and which result from risk analysis; threat assessments; consequences assessments; antiterrorism protective measures and plans; counterterrorism measures and plans; and security and response needs assessments; and

- (iii) building plans or infrastructure records that expose or create vulnerability through disclosure of the location, configuration or security of critical systems, including public utility systems, structural elements, technology, communication, electrical, fire suppression, ventilation, water, wastewater, sewage and gas systems.

Item 2: Copy of the license agreement with Lehighton Borough falls under the above exemption.

Item 3: We do not maintain any records that identify the physical installation locations. They are maintained by Flock. Regardless of this, the request falls under the above exemptions. That would require the creation of a record which does not currently exist; and is therefore denied.

You have the right to appeal this partial denial of information in writing to Liz Wagenseller Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120-0225 If you choose to file an appeal you must do so within 15 business days of the mailing date of this agency's response. See 65 P.S. § 67.1101. Please note that a copy of your original Right-to-Know request and this denial letter must be included when filing an appeal. The law also requires that you state the reasons why the record is a public record and address each of the reasons the Agency denies your request. Visit the Office of Open Records website at http://www.openrecords.pa.gov for further information on filing an appeal.
