# 2024-12 Flock End-of-Year Discount Offered On 2024-12-16, three days after Chief Harris pivoted to asset-forfeiture funding, Flock Territory Sales Manager Brittney Hall offered a **$5,700 installation-fee waiver** in exchange for a December 2024 contract signature on net-60 terms. The discount was explicitly contingent on signing within Flock's fiscal-quarter close ("I have to ask to check the box since it's end of year :)") and was paired with disclosure of a contractual **non-appropriation clause** that would enable the agency to exit if Council later denied funding. ## Sources - [[Morning - Procurement Pivot Thread]] — Brittney Hall to Chris Harris, 2024-12-16 8:43 AM: "I have to ask to check the box since it's end of year :) but if we waive all of installation $5700, could you sign this month net 60 terms? We have a non appropriation clause built into the contract that allows you out of contract if council denies it. I can send you the msa to have legal look at it today." - [[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]] — Discounts line: "Flock Safety Professional Services $5,700.00." The discount appears as-offered on the executed Order Form. ## Significance - **The discount is keyed to Flock's sales-quarter close, not to Conway's needs.** Hall's frank "I have to ask to check the box" reveals the discount as a closing tool, not value engineering. - **The non-appropriation clause is being marketed as a sales tool** to close before legislative authorization. The clause is contractually proper but its surfacing in this context is the substantive finding (see [[Non-Appropriation Clause as Sales Tool]]). - **Burningham's same-day reply ("Send me the other MSA") confirms the deal moved into legal-review on 2024-12-16.** The contract was almost certainly executed within the same December timeframe; signature pages are not OCR'd in the corpus and the executed contract surfaced is undated on its visible pages. ## Open - Exact contract execution date: not visible. Likely December 2024 (year-end close) or January 2025 (post-Council formal authorization). Pull unredacted contract via supplemental FOIA.
