# Abdoul Kabaou Chief Information Officer, City of Little Rock. **Approving authority for City IT Technology Approval Forms** — including the September 30, 2025 IT Technology Approval Form for the Flock LPR Contract Renewal. ## Role and affiliations - Chief Information Officer, [[City of Little Rock]]. - Email: `[email protected]`. ## Appearances in the corpus - **2025-09-30** — Signed the IT Technology Approval Form for the Flock LPR Contract Renewal as "Approving Authority Name/Title." Signature timestamp: 2025-09-30 - 7:23:33 PM GMT, via Adobe Sign Transaction ID `CBJCHBCAABAAhTT0l27M6XbfTbUwSaMikELvOHLpDXIV`. The document was created by Edward Harris (`[email protected]`) on 2025-09-30 - 6:41:50 PM GMT and emailed to Kabaou for e-signature at 2025-09-30 - 6:43:03 PM GMT; Kabaou completed e-signature at 7:23:33 PM GMT. Kabaou's reasoning, embedded in the form: "The Flock LPR system represents a strategic public safety technology that the IT department should approve primarily because it offers a high-impact service with a minimal technical and administrative footprint on local infrastructure." (Tier-1 corpus, [[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]] — 2025.09.30 IT Technology Approval Form for Flock LPR Contract Renewal.txt, p. 2) ## Notes - The IT Technology Approval Form is a procedural prerequisite to City Manager approval of technology procurements; Kabaou's signature documents the IT-side review of the Flock renewal. Notable line items checked on the form: "IT Security Review Completed: Yes / Compliance Review Completed: Yes / Budget Impact Reviewed: Yes / Integration/Compatibility Check: Yes / Technology Duplication: No." - Kabaou's substantive reasoning ("a strategic public safety technology… high-impact service with a minimal technical and administrative footprint on local infrastructure") is the corpus's clearest City-IT-side endorsement of LRPD's Flock relationship. - The form was originated by Edward Harris (presumably IT staff supporting the CIO); whether Harris merits his own page remains an open question.
