CityCouncil | 2018-02-06 | 21 | such as ICE, the length of data retention and the constitutional issue. Vice Mayor Vella made a substitute motion to approve having more discussion about the policy and giving more direction before the parameters of the RFQ or RFP are done. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the Police Chief would also prefer to have more discussion. The Police Chief responded that he can go forward if can be advised of the must haves. Councilmember Oddie stated the public should be heard. Mayor Spencer stated there have been meetings for the past four years. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the must haves are: specifying what uses of the ALPR system will not be permitted, such as the apprehension of a wanted persons, which begs the question, wanted by whom and for what reason; modifying language to indicate no cooperation with ICE to identify undocumented individuals and no private companies; language specifying that APD will not use any hot lists that include individuals that were sought simply because of their immigration status; scheduling a report to the City Council every time an audit report is done; including a provision that no information would be provided to ICE solely because of immigration status; language that confirmation of the current status on a hot list for license plates that is otherwise of interest specifying that it is never to assist ICE in immigration services; and more information about the data center; data retention should be reviewed and language should be added to highlight specifically that APD ALPR information should never be shared with ICE in searches related solely to a person's immigration status. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the policy could include the data not being subject to public information requests. The Assistant City Attorney responded the City Attorney's Office and staff have heard the comments from Council and the public; the City Attorney's Office and the Police Department can work together to prepare an RFP that can be brought back at a future Council meeting and for public comment and Council review. Vice Mayor Vella also inquired whether the discussion would include amending the current policy that is in place. The Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Vella stated there could be other concerns; the list outlined by Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft is not exhaustive.
