CONROE, Texas - The Conroe City Council voted late Thursday night on whether to place a binding proposition about the city's Flock Safety license plate reader cameras on the November ballot, but the motion did not get the three "yes" votes needed to advance.

Council members discussed whether the issue should go to voters without a signature petition meeting the city's requirements.

Council Member John Sellars warned it could set a "slippery slope" to put the measure on the ballot without the necessary signatures, prompting a back-and-forth with Council Member David Hairel about what should be required.
