CityCouncil | 2020-05-05 | 5 | The Planning, Building, and Transportation Director responded the City Manager could be authorized to oversee enforcement; stated Council sets policy direction; provided an example of Council setting the parking meter pricing policy at 85%; stated the management of the parking meters and parking lots falls under the purview of the Public Works Department; changing from Public Works Director to the City Manager, or designee, would be a fair adjustment. The City Attorney stated there is existing language in previous ordinances that designates the Public Works Director as the manager for various parking endeavors; should Council wish to make changes, the ordinance changes will need to be very clear. Councilmember Daysog expressed support for Cesar Chavez Day being celebrated Citywide; noted the holiday is not included under Section 9. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft outlined the draft policy and read the section related to where data is stored; inquired whether the policy that governs the License Plate Reader (LPR) data for mounted patrol vehicles has a one-year retention policy; inquired the reason to make the data retention period longer. The City Attorney responded the policy stores data for less time in all regards; stated the policy proposed 24 hours of storage for "no hit" and 2 years of storage for a "hit;" the Police Department storage is 6 months of storage with "no hit" and potentially unlimited storage with a "hit." Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the language is available, to which the City Attorney responded that he does not have the language; stated the "hit" is different for the Police Department needing to keep data for a case. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she does not recall the previous Council vote reflecting the retention schedule; outlined ongoing instances when data collected has not been destroyed; stated all other instances should have the same retention period as the Police Department LPR schedule. Councilmember Vella stated that she recalls a conversation related to fixed LPR's; she believes Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's recollection of the retention period is correct; inquired the type of photograph technology to be used and what would be photographed; whether there is a way to crop the image to only include the license plate or back of the vehicle. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded the privacy impact analysis ensures the camera is pointed down, focusing just on the license plate. Councilmember Vella inquired whether there would be an instance where something outside of the license plate would be captured and whether the image would be cropped in that instance.
