  • 1.

    On March 15 th of each year, or at the next closest regularly scheduled Privacy Advisory Commission meeting, city staff must present a written annual surveillance report for Privacy Advisory Commission review for each approved surveillance technology item. If city staff is unable to meet the March 15 th deadline, city staff shall notify the Privacy Advisory Commission in writing of staff's request to extend this period, and the reasons for that request. The Privacy Advisory Commission may grant a single extension of up to sixty (60) days to comply with this provision.

    A.

    After review by the Privacy Advisory Commission, city staff shall submit the annual surveillance report to the City Council.

    B.

    The Privacy Advisory Commission shall recommend to the City Council that the benefits to the community of the surveillance technology outweigh the costs and that civil liberties and civil rights are safeguarded; that use of the surveillance technology cease; or propose modifications to the corresponding surveillance use policy that will resolve the concerns.

    C.

    Failure by the Privacy Advisory Commission to make its recommendation on the item within ninety (90) days of submission shall enable the city entity to proceed to the City Council for approval of the annual surveillance report.

    D.

    In addition to the above submission of any Annual Surveillance Report, city staff shall provide in its report to the City Council a summary of all requests for City Council approval pursuant to Section 9.64.030 and the pertinent Privacy Advisory Commission recommendation, including whether the City Council approved or rejected the proposal and/or required changes to a proposed surveillance use policy before approval.

    2.

    Based upon information provided in city staff's Annual Surveillance Report and after considering the recommendation of the Privacy Advisory Commission, the City Council shall re-visit its "cost benefit" analysis as provided in Section 9.64.030 2.B. and either uphold or set aside the previous determination. Should the City Council set aside its previous determination, the city's use of the surveillance technology must cease. Alternatively, City Council may require modifications to the Surveillance Use Policy that will resolve any deficiencies.
