CityCouncil | 2022-04-05 | 7 | The City Attorney responded Council has discretion to discuss the matter; stated Council could provide brief direction to staff without substantial discussion. Councilmember Knox White stated that he is proposing brief Council direction to have staff return in June with a more robust discussion around moving forward with privacy and surveillance. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for also discussing the matter at the priority setting workshop. Councilmember Daysog stated that he believes the proposed matter should be brought forward as a Council Referral; the matter is separate from the agenda item. Vice Mayor Vella stated the City has Council direction on overall privacy policies that have been pending for years; it is not necessary for the proposed matter to go through the Council Referral process; expressed support for a report back from staff of the status of the Citywide privacy policy. Councilmember Herrera Spencer concurred with Councilmember Daysog; stated the proposed matter would be more appropriate as a Council Referral; expressed support for staff bringing back information on mobile APLRs; stated that she understands mobile APLRs will be coming back to Council. The Police Chief stated the Police Department has a mobile ALPR system; he would like to expand the program and will work with the City Manager. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated the current mobile cameras are not functional. In response to Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the City Attorney stated the commitment from the Police Chief is all which can be discussed at the time, given the agenda title. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she would like to know when the privacy policy will return; the topic is related to the policy at-hand; the privacy policy is over-arching. The Police Chief stated that he will prioritize the matter; he would like to discuss timing with the City Manager. Vice Mayor Vella stated the Police Chief would not be heading the Citywide privacy policy which will interact with other Departments. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft noted the policy update will be provided by the City Manager. The City Manager stated staff has discussed bringing the policy discussion back in June. Councilmember Knox White stated the last time Council voted on ALPRs specifically, the mobile ALPR expansion program was not included; the motion only addressed fixed ALPRs; said direction is inconsistent with Council vote. 6 | CityCouncil/2022-04-05.pdf |
