• Avondale Estates delays Flock decision, closes budget gap (decaturish.com) — Avondale Estates leaders are keeping their Flock license plate cameras for now while they wait on possible statewide rules, even as residents press hard over privacy and data-sharing concerns. At the same meeting, officials closed a looming 2027 budget gap, weighed trimming Fourth of July festivities, reviewed major dam and stormwater projects, and floated a citywide composting program that could launch next year.
