CityCouncil | 2021-01-19 | 9 | 35 Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested a friendly amendment to the motion to add direction to staff to return with a refined use policy for the equipment that will address concerns about facial recognition. Councilmember Knox White accepted the amendment; stated the City has a surveillance policy that requires a report to accommodate such a request for purchase of equipment; noted the staff report did not contain the policy; the required policy should accompany the staff report in the future. Vice Mayor Vella expressed concern about the vendor selection process. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the matter should be put out for an RFP. Vice Mayor Vella responded there are potential issues with compliance in the existing policy should the vendor not meet requirements previously set forth by Council. Councilmember Knox White proposed direction be provided to staff to confirm with the recommended vendor that the City's facial recognition ban and other related ordinances are understood for compliance; stated the GSA process has pros and cons; if an RFP is required, the process will take an additional year and a half to return; expressed concern about a delay. Councilmember Spencer inquired whether Council will hear from the Police subcommittees prior to the mid-year budget. The City Manager responded Council will hear from the subcommittees prior to the current matter being approved; stated the mid-year budget will come before Council mid-February; the regular budget will come before Council.
