ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — MAY 27, 2025 10 Councilmember Rousseau is interested in making sure that people are aware that that is a camera. This data falls under 13.824 once it's collected because of the law enforcement function. She asked if it is private data or non-public data. Undersheriff Ramacher believes it is private data. Councilmember Rousseau said if someone in her household owned three vehicles, could she go to the law enforcement agencies and request to see where her vehicle has been in the last 30 days. Commander Hankee said no. Councilmember Rousseau asked if there is any liability to the City if there is a data breach Undersheriff Ramacher doesn't think so but he can get confirmation from the attorneys. Councilmember Rousseau said she would like to see the audit on the body worn cameras. City Administrator Jagoe said there were two reports that came late in the afternoon and they were forwarded to Council right before the meeting. Undersheriff Ramacher confirmed. One of the reports was the body -worn camera audit and the other was the LPR audit. Councilmember Rousseau thanked him for sending that. She said it is nice when there is a way to point out there is a pattern of compliance with these technologies. Councilmember Monson said RCSO is not here seeking permission, they are just asking for payment. We don't have to say yes. They can just install them. Undersheriff Ramacher said they could but he would like to qualify it by saying if Arden Hills was not comfortable, he would take that back to the Sheriff and he would ask how they want to proceed. Councilmember Monson said they are really here, just asking for payment mid -budget cycle. She assumes that is because they wanted to draw attention to it so we don't tank the entire contract. Undersheriff Ramacher said not at all. Councilmember Monson asked why they brought it mid -budget. Undersheriff Ramacher said the technology has been around a while and it is emerging quite rapidly. RCSO felt they couldn't wait until the next budget cycle. Councilmember Monson outlined that we will say yes or no, presumably they would abide by our yes or no. If we say yes, how does the contract work. Would the City have an individual contract that we can redline? Like would we have the option to have the cameras removed in two years, if we don't like them?
