Nays: None. 9. Consider Items Removed from Consent e.Set Public Hearing for Public Input on a Portable Recording System, a/k/a Body Worn Cameras, scheduled for October 24, 2016 At the request of Mayor Roe, Acting City Manager Miller briefly reviewed this item as detailed in the RCA dated August 22, 2016 and related attachments. Mr. Miller referenced the Bench Handout related to this item: Senate File No. 498 (re- vised Attachment A) highlighting language on page 8 that had originally been in- advertently omitted. Councilmember McGehee stated she had read the senate materials, and opined this was an expensive proposition for the city to undertake resulting in a great deal of additional data to keep track of, with complex private and public data require- ments to be considered, including important issues about what can or cannot be redacted. Councilmember McGehee opined this would involve a huge expendi- ture of manpower, and significant fees for errors if the city failed in its endeavors. Councilmember McGehee urged her colleagues to look carefully at the senate document and think about those impacts to the city and actual expenses required to properly implement this program. Mayor Roe clarified that tonight’s action was to schedule the hearing; with the next step being receipt of public input and City Council deliberation in consider- ing the policy. Councilmember Laliberte noted the donation of body cameras to the city’s Police Department; and asked that the public hearing would include a report from the Police Chief on how the cameras were currently being used in their trial use. Acting City Manager Miller advised he would pass that information request on to the Police Department as they prepare for the October 24, 2016 meeting; includ- ing how many cameras were available, how they were being used now and their intended use going forward.
