(*19-430) Recommendation to Award an 18 Month Contract, with the Option of Two One-Year Extensions, in an Amount Not to Exceed $330,000, Including Optional Tasks, to Toole Design Group to Prepare an Active Transportation Plan for the City of Alameda. Accepted. (19-431) Recommendation to Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Six-Year Agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. for the Acquisition, Support, and Maintenance of 88 Body-Worn Digital Video Cameras and a Digital Evidence Management System in an Amount Not to Exceed $793,792.96. Submitted a letter raising questions about data protection: Craig Erickson, Oakland Privacy. Councilmember Vella inquired whether there is an issue with data security. The Police Chief responded there has been no issue with data security; stated contract approval from Council from four years prior was presented as a regular agenda item; there is military grade server security in which the data is owned by the City, not the vendor; the only videos released are in compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1421 and AB748 or court order. Councilmember Vella inquired whether the efficacy of the body cameras are protecting officers as well as members of the public. The Police Chief responded use of force incidents were not a concern at the time of camera purchase; stated use of force incidents have shown to not increase or decrease since the camera purchase; there is no evidence that the upcoming decrease in use of force incidents is due to body cameras. Councilmember Vella inquired the reason for a no-bid contract. The Police Chief responded that the Police Department is still under contract with the vendor; stated a new contract was not requested; it is an extension of existing terms. Vice Mayor Knox White expressed support for the contract; requested the expanded sanctuary city data and privacy referral be brought back for Council consideration; stated policy requests have been made to ensure control over data. The Police Chief stated the existing retention policy is based on being compliant with State laws, statute of limitations and court orders. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether Vice Mayor Knox White is questioning the release policy. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 3 July 16, 2019 | CityCouncil/2019-07-16.pdf |
