GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AGENDA
Agenda Sections:
CONSENT CALENDAR items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are
considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Councilmembers and staff may request items be
removed and members of the public may submit a speaker slip if they wish to comment on an item. Items
removed from the Consent Calendar are discussed after the vote on the remaining Consent Calendar items.
PUBLIC COMMENT provides the public with an opportunity to address the Council on any matter not listed on
the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the Council. In compliance with the Brown Act, the Council cannot
take action on matters not listed on the agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS are held on matters specifically required by law. The Mayor asks for presentations from
staff and from the proponent or applicant involved (if applicable) in the matter under discussion. Following
questions from the Councilmembers, the Mayor opens the public hearing and asks for public comments. The
hearing is closed, and the City Council may discuss and take action.
ACTION ITEMS are items that are expected to cause discussion and/or action by the Council but do not
legally require a Public Hearing. Staff may make a presentation and Councilmembers may ask questions of
staff and the involved parties before the Mayor invites the public to provide input.
CLOSED SESSION may only be attended by members of the Council, support staff, and/or legal counsel. The
most common purpose of a Closed Session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice
the legal or negotiating position of the City or compromise the privacy interests of employees. Closed
sessions may be held only as specifically authorized by law.
Council Actions:
RESOLUTIONS are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the Council and are usually effective
immediately.
ORDINANCES are laws adopted by the Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal or supplement the
Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances
require two hearings: an introductory hearing, generally followed by a second hearing at the next regular
meeting. Most ordinances go into effect 30 days after the final approval.
PROCLAMATIONS are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members,
highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.

ITEM TITLE
Gann Limit: Establish Appropriation Limits for Fiscal Year 2023-24
Report Number: 23-0112
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Finance
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution establishing the appropriations limit (Gann Limit) for the City of Chula Vista for Fiscal
Year 2023-24.
SUMMARY
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution approved by the voters in 1979 requires each local government to
establish an Appropriations Limit for the General Fund by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled
meeting or noticed special meeting. The purpose of the limit is to restrict spending of certain types of
revenues to a level predicated on a base year amount increased annually by an inflation factor.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that approval of this resolution establishing the City’s
appropriation limit for fiscal year 2023-24 is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State
CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not
subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
P a g e | 2
DISCUSSION
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, approved by the voters in 1979, imposed the concept of spending
limits on local governments. This Constitutional provision and related implementing legislation specifies that
annual increases in general fund appropriations financed from “Proceeds of Taxes” are limited to a base year
(1978-79) amount increased annually by an inflation factor comprised of the change in population of the City
combined with the greater of the change in new non-residential construction or the change in the California
per capita personal income. By definition, “Proceeds of Taxes” includes such revenues as property taxes, sales
and use taxes, utility user taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and state subventions. Revenues from other
sources like fees/charges and federal grants are considered “Non-Proceeds of Taxes” and are not subject to
the annual spending limit. This calculation has always been perfunctory for the City of Chula Vista, since the
proceeds of taxes for the City are far less than the statutory appropriation limit.
The State Department of Finance and the San Diego County Assessor’s Office are charged with providing the
data necessary for local jurisdictions to establish their appropriation limit. According to these sources, for
purposes of the fiscal year 2023-24 calculation, the population increased 0.26%. California per capita
personal income increased by 4.44% and new non-residential construction increased by 2.30%
consequently per capita personal income was used in the formula to compute the limit since this increase is
the greater of the two amounts.
The fiscal year 2023-24 Appropriation Limit has been calculated as follows:
Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriations Limit $1,225,401,274
Increased by an inflation factor composed of the
Increase in Population and
Increase Per capita income change X 1.0471154
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Appropriations Limit $1,283,136,594
The “Proceeds of Taxes” as included in the fiscal year 2023-24 Proposed Budget that are subject to the
appropriations limit are estimated to be $213,488,768 (see Attachment A). Therefore, the City has what is
referred to as an appropriation “gap” of $1,069,647,826 ($1,283,136,594 - $213,488,768). Simply stated, this
means that the City could collect and spend up to $1,069,647,826 more in taxes during Fiscal Year 2023-24
without exceeding the Constitutional limit.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the resolution will result in no fiscal impact.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-__________
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS
LIMIT (GANN LIMIT) FOR THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
WHEREAS, Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, approved by the voters in 1979,
imposed the concept of spending limits on local governments; and
WHEREAS, this Constitutional provision and related implementing legislation specifies
that annual increases in appropriations financed from "Proceeds of Taxes" are limited to a base
year (1978-79) amount increased annually by an inflation factor comprised of the change in
population of the City combined with the greater of the change in new non-residential
construction or the change in the California per capita personal income; and
WHEREAS, by definition, "Proceeds of Taxes" includes such revenues as property taxes,
sales and use taxes, utility users taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and state subventions; and
WHEREAS, revenues from other sources like fees/charges and federal grants are
considered "Non-Proceeds of Taxes" and are not subject to the annual spending limit; and
WHEREAS, this calculation has always been perfunctory for the City of Chula Vista,
since the proceeds of taxes for the City are far less than the statutory appropriation limit; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Finance and the San Diego County Assessor's
Office are charged with providing the data necessary for local jurisdictions to establish their
appropriation limit; and
WHEREAS, according to these sources, for purposes of the fiscal year 2023-2024
calculation, the population increased 0.26%, and
WHEREAS, California per capita personal income increased by 4.44% and new non-
residential construction increased by 2.30% and; consequently per capita personal income
change was used in the formula to compute the limit since this increase is the greater of the two
amounts; and
WHEREAS, the fiscal year 2023-24 Appropriation Limit has been calculated to be
$1,283,136,594; and
WHEREAS, the "Proceeds of Taxes" as included in the fiscal year 2023-24 Proposed
Budget that are subject to the appropriations limit are estimated to be $213,488,768; and
WHEREAS, the City has what is referred to as an appropriation "gap" of $1,069,647,826
($1,283,136,594 – $213,488,768); and
Page 27 of 338

Resolution No. 2019-__________
Page 2
WHEREAS, this means that the City could collect and spend up to $1,069,647,826 more
in taxes during Fiscal Year 2023-2024 without exceeding the Constitutional limit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the Cit y of Chula
Vista does hereby establish an appropriations limit of $1,283,136,594 for Fiscal Year 2023-24
pursuant to the requirements of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and California
Government Code section 7910.

ITEM TITLE
Road Maintenance: Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023/24 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017
Report Number: 23-0093
Location: Citywide
Department: Engineering
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15302 Class
2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and Section 15061(b)(3).
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2023/24 funded by the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
SUMMARY
Pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2034(a)(1), prior to receiving an apportionment
of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, a City must submit to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. Staff is requesting that the City
Council adopt a resolution approving the City’s RMRA Project Lists for Fiscal Year 2023/24.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facil ities), Section 15302 Class 2
(Replacement or Reconstruction), and Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed actions would not result
in a significant effect on the environment, create a cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Thus, no further environmental review
is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (RMRA) which provided new funds to cities and counties throughout California to use for roadway
maintenance and rehabilitation. SB1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle
registration taxes, stabilized the fuel tax rates and provided for inflationary adjustments to rates in future
years.
Required Annual Authorization
The RMRA local streets and roads allocations are intended to be focused on improving the overall condition
of the municipality’s pavement condition. Once a municipality reaches an average Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) of 80, other transportation related projects could be proposed. As of May 2023, the City’s average PCI
is 71 (good); therefore, RMRA funds should be utilized specifically for roadway maintenance and
rehabilitation.
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the CTC in a fiscal year, the City must submit to the
Commission an adopted list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds by July 1st each year. All
projects proposed to receive the fiscal year funding must be adopted by resolution by the City Council at a
regular public meeting for each fiscal year (Streets and Highway Code (SHC) Section 2034(a)(1). The adopted
list must include a description and the location of each proposed project, the estimated useful life of the
improvement, and a proposed schedule for the project’s completion.
The projected RMRA revenue for Chula Vista in FY2023/24 is $6,842,191 (Attachment 1) which was
programmed with the adoption of the City’s FY2023/24 CIP Program on May 23, 2023. The proposed project
lists STL0465 and STM0413 for FY2023/24 (Attachment 2), which includes street segments consisting of
public roadway segments with PCI ratings between 15 to 62 that are recommended for Rehabilitation
treatment, and PCI ratings between 76 to 91 that are recommended for Maintenance treatment. The overall
City average PCI is projected to increase as these projects and other paving projects with TransNet funding
are completed.
The RMRA also requires that the City submit an annual expenditure report for all active and completed
projects funded by the RMRA. The annual report will provide details on the projects completed to date and
any updates to the original listing. This is the seventh year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and
will enable the City to supplement the road maintenance and rehabilitation efforts needed on streets
throughout the City.
The following are the previously adopted SB1 RMRA projects, including status:

(continued)
PROJECT STATUS
FY2022/23 (CIP STL0460) Design Phase
FY2022/23 (CIP STM0412) Design Phase
The projects proposed for adoption in FY2023/24, CIP STL0465 - RMRA Pavement Maintenance FY2023/24
and CIP STM0413 - RMRA Pavement Rehabilitation FY2023/24, are estimated to start construction work in
Summer of 2024 with completion by December of 2024.
Maintenance of Effort [Streets and Highways Code Sec. 2036]
The RMRA contains a local agency Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated
through the RMRA. Similar to the existing requirements for the Gas Tax and TransNet, the MOE requirement
ensures that these new funds do not supplant existing levels of city and county discretionary revenue
spending on streets and roads. For RMRA, the City must maintain discretionary fund spending for street,
road, and highway purposes at no less than the average of 2009/10, 2010/11, and 2011/12 fiscal years,
excluding one-time funds. The RMRA MOE for Chula Vista is $4,515,412 (Attachment 3). The City anticipates
meeting the MOE requirement for FY2023/24.
The State Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller
determines that the City has not met its MOE, the City will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it
received during that fiscal year, although the City may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal
year a total amount that is sufficient to comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to
comply will be reapportioned to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance.
Due to this requirement, the City established a separate account for RMRA funds within the Gas Tax Account.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found that Mayor McCann has
property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
However, the decision solely concerns repairs, replacement or maintenance of existing streets, water, sewer,
storm drainage or similar facilities, and the member’s property will not be affected dis proportionately to
other properties receiving the same services. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title
2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(d)(1)), this item does not present a real property-related conflict of interest
under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
This action relates to funds to be received and expenditures to be incurred in fiscal year 2023/24, resulting
in no net fiscal impact in the current year.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Projected RMRA revenues totaling $6,842,191, along with any remaining funds from previously completed
RMRA projects, were programmed in the adopted FY2023/24 CIP Program, resulting in no net impact to the
RMRA Fund in fiscal year 2023/24.
Upon completion of the project, the improvements will require only routi ne City Street maintenance. Since
the improvements are anticipated to increase the life of the streets included, there should be a positive long-
term fiscal impact.

ITEM TITLE
Heritage Bridge Replacement Project: Appropriate Highway Bridge Program Funds to the Heritage Bridge
Replacement Project
Report Number: 23-0143
Location: Heritage Road between Main Street and Entertainment Circle North
Department: Engineering
Environmental Notice: The Project was adequately covered in previously adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) IS-17-001 (SCH No. 2017021078) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), and any addenda for the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project. Under NEPA, the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has determined that the Project is a Categorical Exclusion under
23 USC 327.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution appropriating $3,045,432 of Highway Bridge Program funds based on unanticipated
revenue to the Heritage Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386). (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Heritage Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386) is partially funded under the federal Highway Bridge
Program (HBP). Additional funds have been authorized by Caltrans for additional design costs and the
purchase of mitigation bank credits required to meet environmental permitting procedures.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City’s Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the Project was adequately covered in
previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) IS-17-001 (SCH No. 2017021078) and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and any and all addenda for the Heritage Road Bridge
Replacement Project. Under NEPA, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has determined
that the Project is a Categorical Exclusion under 23 USC 327.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Heritage Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386) includes replacement of an existing 4-lane timber deck
bridge with a 450-foot bridge designed with 6 through-lanes, 2 left-turn lanes, 2 shoulder/bike lanes,
sidewalks, railings and a median.
HBP Appropriation
Under the Federal HBP, Caltrans has granted the Heritage Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386) an
additional $3,045,432 to purchase off-site mitigation bank credits, finalize environmental permits, and
proceed to advertisement. Adoption of this resolution will appropriate $3,045,432 of HBP funds. Receipt of
HBP funds obligates the City to contribute 11.47% of the disbursement ($395,000), while federal funding
covers the remaining 88.53%. The Heritage Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386) is currently funded with
HBP and transportation development impact fee (TDIF) funds and will use programmed TDIF funds in the
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Budget to satisfy grant local match requirements.
The appropriation of HBP funds will ensure the project complies with environmental permitting conditions
pertaining to off-site mitigation and purchase said credits and proceed to the construction phase of the
project. The current project schedule anticipates breaking ground in Fall 2024.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item
does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of
Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code
§87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution appropriates additional Federal HBP grant funding of $3,045,432 to the Heritage
Bridge Replacement Project (STM0386).
Expected costs and funding sources for the project’s design phase are as follows:
PROJECT COSTS
A. Preliminary Engineering & Right of Way $6,508,231
B. Mitigation Bank Credits $3,240,000
TOTAL $9,748,231
Page 45 of 338

P a g e | 3
FUNDING SOURCES
A. Appropriations to Date: HBP $4,137,892
B. Appropriations to Date: TDIF $2,169, 907
C. Approved as part of FY24 CIP Program (TDIF) $395,000
D. New Appropriation: HBP $3,045,432
TOTAL $9,748,231
Staff will return to Council to appropriate additional HBP and TDIF funds when the project is ready for
construction.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with the proposed action, as the Heritage Bridge Replacement
Project (STM0386) has adequate funding to meet federal local match requirements and complete the design
work. A future appropriation of additional HBP and TDIF funds will be required when the project is ready
for construction.

item projects only)
1)The purpose of this list is to show which projects being advanced by local agencies have met the eligibility requirements of the
federal Highway Bridge Program and have been prioritized for funding by the Department in cooperation with local agencies for
funding.
2)Please see the Local Assistance web site for the most current listings:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hbrr99/HBP_FSTIP.html
3)Contractual funding levels are determined at time of federal authorization/obligation for given phase of work. For details see

ITEM TITLE
Agreement: Approve an Agreement with Pacific Secured Equities Doing Business As Intercare Holdings
Insurance Services, Inc., as the City’s Workers' Compensation Third Party Administrator
Report Number: 23-0154
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Human Resources
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving an agreement with Pacific Secured Equities, doing business as Intercare Holdings
Insurance Services, Inc., as the City’s Workers' Compensation Third Party Administrator.
SUMMARY
California employers, including cities, are required to provide workers’ compensation benefits when
employees are injured on the job. The City of Chula Vista, in compliance with its workers’ compensation
obligations, has a self-insured workers’ compensation program. To administer the City of Chula Vista’s
workers’ compensation program, the City requires a qualified workers’ compensation claims management
service company to supervise and administer the workers’ compensation claims and pay benefits to injured
workers on behalf of the City’s self-insured program.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a second agreement with
Intercare Holdings Insurance Services, Inc., to act as the third-party administrator (“TPA”) for the City’s
workers’ compensation program, effective July 1, 2023, for a period of three years with the option to extend
in one-year increments for up to an additional three years.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act
State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is
required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
California employers, including cities, are required to provide workers’ compensation benefits when
employees are injured on the job. The City of Chula Vista, in compliance with its workers’ compensation
obligations, has a self-insured workers’ compensation program. To administer the City of Chula Vista’s
workers’ compensation program, the City requires a qualified workers’ compensation claims man agement
service company (commonly called “third party administrators” or “TPA”) to supervise and administer the
workers’ compensation claims and pay benefits to injured workers on behalf of the City’s self -insured
program.
In 2017, staff completed Request For Proposal (RFP) P15-16/17 and recommended Intercare Insurance
(“Intercare”) be selected as the City’s TPA. Prior to this RFP, TPA services had been provided by TriStar Risk
Management for a period of 22 years.
On June 20, 2017, Council approved Intercare as the City’s TPA effective July 1, 2017, for a period of one year
with the option to extend in one-year increments for up to an additional five years. Effective June 30, 2023,
Intercare will have provided TPA services for the City for a period of six years.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a second agreement with
Intercare Holdings Insurance Services, Inc., to act as the TPA for the City’s workers’ compensation program,
effective July 1, 2023, for a period of three years with the option to extend in one-year increments for up to
an additional three years. Intercare provides two full-time dedicated claims examiners, one designated
claims assistant and one part-time claims examiner and that are responsible for the administration of the
City’s workers’ compensation program. Maintaining claims examiner staff provides a continuity of claims
management for current and former employees that have open workers’ compensation claims. On this basis,
staff is recommending Intercare be awarded the contract pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code Section
2.56.110.H.2 Impractical or Impossible and that the City interests are materially better served by negotiating
directly with the current firm.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

2 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.:
Consultant Name: Intercare Holdings Insurance Services, Inc. Rev. 3/28/23
OBLIGATORY PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, City and
Consultant hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
1.1 Required Services. Consultant agrees to perform the services (and deliver to City the “Deliverables” (if
any)) described in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference, within the time
frames set forth therein, time being of the essence for this Agreement. The services (and/or Deliverables)
described in Exhibit A shall be referred to herein as the “Required Services.”
1.2 Reductions in Scope of Work. City may independently, or upon request from Consultant, from time
to time, reduce the Required Services to be performed by the Consultant under this Agreement. Upon doing
so, City and Consultant agree to meet and confer in good faith for the purpose of negotiating a corresponding

1.3 Additional Services. Subject to compliance with the City’s Charter, codes, policies, procedures and
ordinances governing procurement and purchasing authority, City may request Consultant provide additional
services related to the Required Services (“Additional Services”). If so, City and Consultant agree to meet
and confer in good faith for the purpose of negotiating an amendment to Exhibit A, to add the Additional
Services. Unless otherwise agreed, compensation for the Additional Services shall be charged and paid

hereunder shall be performed in accordance with the highest standard of care exercised by members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations.

14, 2023, as required by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 , an update to the list of
designated filers who are required to file periodic Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700), adoption of
an ordinance amending Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.05.010 relating to unclassified positions; and
amending the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget to appropriate funds, accordingly.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Classification Plan and Compensation Schedule
In an effort to address the needs of various departments and the City's workforce, the Human Resources
Department, in conjunction with the affected departments, is proposing certain position changes and salary
adjustments for certain classifications. Additionally, the City's compensation policy allows for structures and
salary ranges to be reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure that the City has the ability to attract, hire
and retain quality employees. On May 23, 2023, the City Council made a referral requesting a salary survey
be completed for Senior Council Assistant. A salary survey was completed, and while there was an insufficient
number of comparable positions in the designated labor market from which to base a salary
recommendation on, staff is proposing to a salary adjustment for the benefited classification as the current
salary is the lowest salary in its market. Additionally, staff is proposing salary adjustments for specific,
targeted classifications, (1) that in the current labor market, are hard to attract, hire and retain employees
and/or (2) to allow for competitive position in their respective labor markets and (3) the result of negotiated
labor contract survey results. The following identifies the affected positions and proposed changes:

Compensation Schedule Requirement
California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring
employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets
certain requirements, including approval by the City’s governing body in accordance with the requirements
of applicable public meeting laws. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Compensation Schedule ("Compensation
Schedule") was last approved by the City Council at their meeting on May 23, 2023.
Adoption of Resolution B will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2023-24 Compensation Schedule effective July

salaries for the Assistant Engineer, Assistant Plan Check Engineer, Associate Engineer, Associate Plan Check
Engineer, Council Assistant, Principal Civil Engineer, Principal Traffic Engineer, Senior Civil Engineer, Senior
Council Assistant, Transportation Engineer with Certification, and Transportation Engineer without
Certification position titles. The Compensation Schedule reflecting these revisions is Attachment 1 to this
staff report.
Conflict of Interest Code Updates
The City Clerk and City Attorney have reviewed the position changes and recommend that the appendix to
the Conflict of Interest Code (Attachment 2) be updated to designate the appropriate positions as Form 700
filers and as “designated employees” for purposes of AB 1234, requiring them to participate in mandatory
ethics training. Approval of Resolution C will make the appropriate updates to the appendix to the Conflict
of Interest Code. Additional changes were made to the Conflict of Interest Code to update recent changes to
other filers. The redline version of the changes is attached to this item as Attachment 2.
Budget Amendments
Approval of Resolution D will amend the budget to reflect: (1) $86,000 in revenue and expenditure
appropriations to the Animal Services Department in the General Fund, resulting in no net impact to the
General Fund in Fiscal Year 2022-23; (2) $156,800 in revenue and expenditure appropriations to the Animal
Services Department in the General Fund, resulting in no net impact to the General Fund in Fiscal Year 2023-
24; and, (3) a reduction of $122,153 in revenue and expenditure appropriations to Police Department in the
Federal Grants Fund, resulting in a no net impact to the Federal Grants Fund.
Ordinance
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.05.010 requires updating to reflect the position changes impacting the
unclassified positions. Chula Vista City Charter Section 500(D) requires that all management level
unclassified positions not mentioned specifically in Charter Section 500(D) be adopted by ordinance.
Adoption of the Ordinance will add the position title of Communications Manager and delete the position
title of FA Graphic Designer/Webmaster from Municipal Code Section 2.05.010.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the action contemplated by this item is ministerial, secretarial, manual, or clerical
in nature and, as such, does not require the City Council members to make or participate in making a
governmental decision, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.4(a). Consequently,
this item does not present a conflict under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is
not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may
constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The current-year fiscal impact will increase both revenue and expenditure appropriations in the General
Fund for the Animal Services Department by $83,000, resulting in no net fiscal impact.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will increase both revenue and expenditures in the General Fund for the Animal
Services Department by $156,800, and reduce both revenue and expenditures in the Federal Grants Fund for

the Police Department by $122,153. The updated Engineering classification changes as well as the addition
of the Parks Maintenance Worker II in the Public Works department are included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24
adopted budget. Staff will monitor the fiscal impacts of this item as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget
monitoring process and make recommendations as needed.

Public Comments
Written Communications - Davis
I support the appointment of Jesse Navarro to the Citizen's Oversight Committee for
Measure A, and expect your City Council and the City of Chula Vista to abide by your
own Municipal Code and swear him in tonight for that position.
The City Council majority's attempt at the prior regular meeting to rescind the previous
vote retroactively does not align with Chula Vista's own Municipal Code:
https://chulavista.municipal.codes/CVMC/2.04.570
B. A motion to rescind (repeal, cancel, nullify) prior Council action on a main motion
shall be in order at any meeting of the Council. The effect of rescinding prior Council
action shall operate prospectively only and not retroactively to the date of the original
action. That is, it shall not operate to adversely affect intervening legal rights which
create an estoppel situation.
Please uphold your own regulations and honor the appointment of Mr. Navarro.
Respectfully,
Mary Davis

ITEM TITLE
Privacy and Technology: Place an Ordinance on First Reading to Add Chula Vista Municipal Code
Chapter 2.73, Establishing a Privacy and Technology Advisory Commission
Report Number: 23-0149
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Information Technology Services
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no
environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Place an ordinance on first reading to establish a Privacy and Technology Advisory Commission under Chula
Vista Municipal Code Chapter 2.73. (First Reading)
SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista adopted a Smart City Strategic Action Plan (Action Plan) in September 2017. A key
goal of the Action Plan is to continue efforts to become a more open and transparent City. To support this
goal, the City has set an objective to maximize the use of data and analytics to improve services and increase
public access to City information. This also includes ensuring that technology, including public data and
information collected is stored, managed, and utilized in a secure, transparent, and safe way. To accomplish
this, the City of Chula Vista adopted the Privacy Protection and Technology Transparency (Policy) in
November 2022. The Policy is an effective way for the City to ensure the safe and effective use of technologies
and protect public data. As part of the Policy implementation, the City will establish an advisory Commission
responsible for carrying out a broad range of advisory duties including; reviewing and advising on City
technology use policies, various City reports, procurement standards, and facilitating public discussion of
important issues related to privacy and City technology.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act
State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is
required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
On January 18, 2022, as part of the on-going implementation of the Smart City Strategic Action Plan (Action
Plan), City Council approved an agreement for the City of Chula Vista to engage a consulting firm to provide
support for the development of a Citywide privacy protection policy. As part of this effort, in April 2022, the
City Manager formed a 12-member Technology & Privacy Advisory Task Force (Task Force) comprised of
Chula Vista residents and stakeholders to provide the City Manager with policy recommendations for
consideration in the development of a citywide policy on technology and privacy issues.
In November 2022, the City of Chula Vista adopted the Privacy Protection and Technology Transparency
(Policy). The development of this Policy was guided by the policy recommendations adopted by the Task
Force on September 26, 2022. The goal of the Policy is to help ensure the safe and effective use of technologies
and protect public data. The Policy governs privacy protection and data management processes, as well as
the use of technology in City operations and services, including public safety, traffic management, community
services, and other service areas of the City.
As part of the Policy implementation, the City will establish a Privacy and Technology Advisory Commission
(Commission) responsible for carrying out a broad range of advisory duties described in the policy. In
general, Commission duties shall include (a) reviewing and advising on City technology use policies,
Surveillance Technology impact reports, annual reports, procurement standards for agreements involving
Sensitive or Surveillance Technology, and (b) facilitating public discussion of important issues related to
privacy and City technology.
The Commission shall consist of five Voting Members and one Ex Officio Member to be appointed in
accordance with the City Charter and the proposed ordinance. Voting Members should have expertise and
background in the following listed categories. Each of the categories should be represented by at least one
Voting Member:
Information Technology & Data Security: Experience and/or expertise in cyber security and sensitive
public information management and protection.
Privacy Protection: Experience and/or academic or legal background related to individual privacy
protection, civil rights, equity, or government transparency.
Public Safety: Experience and/or expertise in federal, state, or local government public safety functions
and operations.

The Commission’s meeting schedule shall include at least one regular meeting per quarter or four regular
meetings per year.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of adopting this ordinance is approximately $50,000 associated with city staff liaison time
and secretarial support for the commission.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of adopting this ordinance is approximately $50,000 annually associated with city staff
liaison time and secretarial support for the commission. In addition, it is anticipated that when individual
implementation strategies or related projects are further developed and presented to the City Council for
consideration, any specific positive or negative fiscal impacts will be identified.

BACKGROUND
The City of Chula Vista uses many technology systems to effectively and efficiently deliver public
services. Technology available to the City has expanded from more simple tools, such as email and
spreadsheets, to more complex systems that involve the automated collection and analysis of a broad
range of data, including Sensitive Personal Information. Emerging technologies tend to involve the
collection or generation of large amounts of data that can later be processed or analyzed. As the scope
of City use of data and technology has grown, risks to individual privacy have become more apparent.
As the City continues to explore new ways to use technology, the community has expressed a desire
for greater levels of transparency and public engagement in decision-making around City acquisition
and use of certain technologies impacting privacy.
PURPOSE
This policy has multiple purposes:
To respond to valid community concerns regarding sharing of personal information through the use
of technology that has the potential for adverse impacts on civil liberties
To safeguard the security, accuracy, and control of access to City data and technology systems
To protect the civil rights and civil liberties of Chula Vista community members and visitors,
including rights to privacy
To ensure that expert advice and community input is included as part of City decision-making
involving the acquisition and use of privacy-impacting technology
To protect against the waste of taxpayer funds
To promote transparency in the acquisition and use of privacy-impacting technology by the City
To build and maintain public trust in the City and its use of technology to deliver public services

Item 7.1 - Baker
Dear Council Members,
On behalf of South Bay People Power, I am writing to OPPOSE Agenda Item 7.1 on
tonight's City Council meeting, and demand AMENDMENTS to the City-proposed
Ordinance before the vote is taken.
We favor formation of a "Privacy Protection and Technology Oversight Commission"
but NOT as proposed by THIS ORDINANCE.
As we have stated in prior testimony/comments on numerous occasions [See Attached Letter],
we fully support the establishment of a long-overdue Commission to provide independent
oversight of the City's surveillance technology programs and proposals. In fact, we have
provided the City with a pair of ordinances [See Attached] to establish a Commission and as
well as privacy policy protections and clear procedures. Our proposed ordinances are based on
best practices and supported by over two dozen community organizations [See Attached Letter].
Unfortunately this City-proposed ordinance is woefully inadequate as a tool to create needed
oversight and protections. The City-proposed ordinance does not even reflect the critical policy
proposals developed by the community experts and other community members who participated
in the City's own Privacy and Technology Task Force [See Attached].
The City-proposed ordinance on the June 13 agenda is not ready for a vote. The ordinance
seems hastily-prepared, vague, deficient, and it will not achieve our City's need for privacy
protections and technology oversight.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS NEEDED:
•
• Purpose:
•Establish an independent civilian body of representatives with expertise and experience
to oversee and provide informed recommendations to city decision-makers regarding all
acquisition, use, policies, procedures, and reporting to properly govern the City's

Community
representation and engagement that addresses diverse concerns and experiences

Timely and informed recommendations for decision makers.
We urge you to take the time to review these documents carefully and to send the proposed
ordinance back for revisions to reflect best practices and the wealth of work that community
members have invested in an effort to bring accountability to Chula Vista since December
2020, when we discovered that we cannot trust that our privacy and civil liberties are being
protected. We would be happy to assist with the process of rewriting the ordinance, but
cannot accept it in its current deficient and tone-deaf form.

To:Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force Members
Re:Need for a Surveillance and Community Safety Ordinance in Chula Vista
Congratulations on your appointment to the newly formed Technology and Privacy Advisory
Task Force.
We, the undersigned community, civil rights, and service organizations are writing to highlight
the urgent need for a surveillance technology and privacy ordinance in the City of Chula Vista.
For over a year, we have been voicing our concerns and studying best practices in cities, like the
City of San Diego, that also face challenges associated with the increased use of surveillance
technology. We have developed an ordinance based on our research, and ask you to build on our
proposed Surveillance and Community Safety Ordinance and recommend its adoption by the
Chula Vista City Council.
Surveillance technology carries inherent risks to individual privacy, civil rights, and civil
liberties that must be protected by enforceable ordinances, consistent policies and practices, and
independent oversight. Transparency, accountability, and oversight of police and governmental
use of surveillance technology cannot simply be left implicit within broad technology policy or
subsumed within a general set of privacy policies covering less intrusive technologies.
Surveillance technology includes not just technology capable of accessing information, but also
technology systems that are capable of aggregating information from both public and non-public
sources. Such information, in the aggregate or when pieced together with other information, has
the potential to reveal a wealth of detail about a person’s familial, political, professional,
religious, or sexual associations. We ask that you address the special risks associated with current
and potential uses of surveillance technology and data in all phases of your
information-gathering and deliberation process, and that you prioritize an enforceable ordinance
as part of the technology privacy policy package ultimately proposed by the Task Force and
adopted by the City of Chula Vista.
The City of Chula Vista takes great public pride in the steps it has taken to achieve its status both
as a Welcoming City and as a Smart City. Surveillance technology offers potential benefits for
certain efficiencies in government and law enforcement, but it can also negatively impact the
privacy, free movement and other civil rights and liberties of community members, and
undermine community trust and safety. Historically, surveillance has been used to intimidate and
control certain communities and groups more than others. As a Welcoming City, Chula Vista
must do more to protect the civil liberties, rights and safety of all.
Investigative reporting in local and national media has raised awareness and revealed serious
concerns about lack of transparency, accountability, and oversight of Chula Vista’s surveillance
programs. Instead of learning from our city officials that CVPD shared our ALPR data with ICE,
CBP, and other federal agencies for over three years, we have been shocked to learn about such
practices through outside sources.Further, we have been frustrated by the City’s handling of
these revelations and the resulting scrutiny. Rather than acting swiftly to acknowledge and
Page 208 of 338
City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
Re:Need for a Surveillance and Community Safety Ordinance in Chula Vista, April 25, 2022
correct the mistakes, establish independent oversight, and repair damaged community
relationships, Chula Vista city officials have continued to prioritize and expand police
surveillance programs despite concerted public opposition. These events have revealed larger
issues regarding lack of open government, trust and safety that affect all members of our
community, and especially the most marginalized. The lasting harm to community trust in Chula
Vista caused by the City’s failure to exercise accountability and full transparency regarding its
surveillance technology programs cannot be overstated.
Formation of the Task Force gives us renewed hope for genuine engagement with community
groups and for demonstrated commitment to the values we share and which stand at the core of
the “Welcoming City” model. We expect and demand that Chula Vista meet a high standard of
accountability, transparency, community consultation, and open governance.
Members of our organizations possess relevant lived experience, professional knowledge, and
other types of expertise. In writing our Surveillance and Community Safety Ordinance for Chula
Vista, we drew upon a readily available body of expert knowledge as well as a number of
existing ordinances in California cities. Our draft ordinance includes these main features:
●A detailed, enforceable process for all phases of the approval, acquisition, use, and
oversight of all city surveillance technology
●Parameters for formation of an independent civilian body to oversee this process and
make informed recommendations to the City Council
●Provisions for:
○Informed public debate at the earliest stage of the process
○Determination of whether benefits outweigh costs and concerns
○Establishment of a thorough surveillance use policy
○Ongoing independent oversight and accountability
We look forward to discussing this with you in more detail as the Task Force carefully considers
our proposed Surveillance and Community Safety Ordinance. A pdf version of the Ordinance
was sent to the Task Force via email.
A Smart City must constantly anticipate and mitigate the unique and evolving risks associated
with surveillance technology, and a Welcoming City must always prioritize and protect its
community members’ rights and privacy. We stand ready to work with you in the coming months
as the Task Force tackles these complex issues and proposes policies to protect and provide real
safety for all community members.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,

Surveillance & Community Safety Ordinance
(Revised - July 15, 2022)
ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER XXXX TO THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE CITY’S
ACQUISITION AND USE OF SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista (“City”) takes great public pride in its status as a
Welcoming City and as a Smart City; and
WHEREAS, smart public safety decisions and the protection of all community members
require that municipalities ensure public debate and community involvement in decisions about
whether to acquire or use surveillance technology; moreover, that real public safety requires that
residents have a voice in these decisions; and
WHEREAS, across the U.S. cities that have adhered to a “privacy bill of rights” approach
are able to win public support in implementing the technology with proper safeguards in place to
build trust. Alternatively, cities that implement new technology in secrecy, without oversight,
without policy, and without broad and inclusive public input have found themselves facing
scrutiny, lawsuits, and voter referendums to ban certain technologies.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is essential to have an informed public debate as
early as possible about decisions related to the City’s acquisition and use of surveillance
technology; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that, while the use of surveillance technology may
threaten the privacy of all citizens, throughout history, surveillance efforts have been used to
intimidate and oppress certain communities and groups more than others, including those that
are defined by a common race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, income level, sexual
orientation or political perspective; and
WHEREAS, while acknowledging the significance of protecting the privacy of citizens,
the City Council finds that surveillance technology may also be a valuable tool to bolster
community safety and aid in the investigation and prosecution of crimes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that surveillance technology includes not just
technology capable of accessing non-public places or information (such as wiretaps) but also
may include technology which aggregates publicly available information, because such
information, in the aggregate or when pieced together with other information, has the potential
to reveal a wealth of detail about a person’s familial, political, professional, religious, or sexual
associations; and
1
Page 211 of 338
City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that no decisions relating to the City’s use of
surveillance technology should occur without strong consideration being given to the impact
such technologies may have on civil rights and civil liberties, including those rights guaranteed
by the California and United States Constitutions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that any and all decisions regarding if and how the
City’s surveillance technologies should be funded, acquired, or used should include meaningful
public input and that public opinion should be given significant weight in policy decisions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that legally enforceable safeguards, including robust
transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect civil rights and
civil liberties before any City surveillance technology is deployed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that if a surveillance technology is approved, data
reporting measures must be adopted that empower the City Council and public to verify that
mandated civil rights and civil liberties safeguards have been strictly adhered to.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:

Chula Vista Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force
Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
Guiding Principles
Guiding Principle 1: Protecting the privacy and safety of Chula Vista residents via enforceable
law.
• The task force intends that ordinances should be passed by the Chula Vista City Council
to regulate the acquisition, deployment, use and expansion of new or existing technology
designed to or capable of monitoring or capturing personal identifying information
(sensitive or surveillance) by the City of Chula Vista.
• The task force urges the Chula Vista City Council to align all future decisions regarding
technology designed to or capable of monitoring or capturing personal identifying
information (sensitive or surveillance) with the principles of ensuring Chula Vista
residents receive maximum awareness, that any such technologies provide defined and
verifiable benefits for Chula Vista residents.
• The task force intends that the fully advised and informed elected members of Chula
Vista City Council should be the only body that can authorize new acquisition of, or
continuing use of, technology designed to or capable of monitoring or capturing personal
identifying information (sensitive or surveillance). There should be no automatic
exemption from this approval process for technologies currently in use.
Guiding Principle 2: Providing the communities of Chula Vista with a permanent, empowered
board or commission.
• The task force intends that a board or commission of independent community members
that are affected by technology and or who are most knowledgeable of the risks of
surveillance technology, will be created by Chula Vista City Council.
• The task force intends that the board/commission should be empowered by Chula Vista
City Council to ensure the community is fully informed and provided with sufficient time
and opportunities for meaningful engagement.
• The task force believes local communities and their elected officials should be
empowered to make determinations about the use of existing and new technology. We do
not intend for department heads or department staff to be empowered to make these
determinations without transparency and oversight.
• It is the communities most affected that are most in need of an empowered platform, and
whose advice can be most meaningful to creating a trusted process. The task force
intends that the City select its board/commission members accordingly.
Guiding Principle 3: Protecting taxpayer funds and City operations from waste, fraud and
abuse.
• The task force intends that the proposed acquisition and/or use of technology only be
consented to by the Chula Vista City Council under defined conditions, which are
enforced by City Council during the approval process.
• The task force intends that city departments seeking to fund, acquire, and/or use a
surveillance technology should provide information on the surveillance technology’s
financial benefits and costs, including its acquisition and annual operational costs.

June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force: Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
2
• The task force intends that any program designed to or capable of monitoring or
capturing personal identifying information (sensitive or surveillance) being considered
for approval should demonstrate written policies and operational controls that are
commensurate with the impacts and risks of harms that will be placed on the
communities of Chula Vista.
• Any eligible technology operated by the City should be periodically required to
demonstrate to the community and City Council the technology’s costs and effectiveness
at achieving its intended purpose, and its compliance with all privacy requirements.
Guiding Principle 4: Protecting Chula Vista residents’ civil rights and civil liberties
• The task force intends that technologies designed to or capable of monitoring or
capturing personal identifying information (sensitive or surveillance) should not be
funded, acquired, or used without studying and addressing their potential impact on civil
rights and civil liberties.
• The task force intends that city departments seeking to fund, acquire, or use a technology
designed to or capable of monitoring or capturing personal identifying information
(sensitive or surveillance) should expressly identify the potential adverse impacts the
technology may have on civil rights and civil liberties and what specific measures it will
undertake to prevent such adverse impacts. This information should serve as the basis for
all public hearings regarding the proposed technology.
Based on the guiding principles outlined above, the task force has developed the following
specific recommendations.
Introductory Statements:
1. The Task Force urges the City to adopt ordinances to provide greater structure and
accountability to these recommendations.
2. While the Task Force understands it is the City’s prerogative to accept only some of the
recommendations in this document, the Task Force urges the City to treat these
recommendations as a unified whole and implement all recommendations.
3. The Task Force has received multiple public comments regarding the methodology used
to conduct the public opinion survey and focus groups. The Task Force encourages City
staff and City Councilmembers to consider the potential for bias in the results of the
public opinion research, particularly as described in the letter from Dr. Norah Shultz of
San Diego State University, which was provided as part of the August 15 Task Force
meeting agenda.

Privacy Advisory Board
1. The City should establish a permanent Privacy Advisory Board responsible for carrying
out a broad range of advisory duties.
a. The Privacy Advisory Board should be established as soon as possible, as it is key
to implementing many of the recommendations in this document and conducting
further public discussion on important issues related to privacy and City
technology.
b. The Board’s duties are described throughout this document, including:
i. Holding regular meetings that are open to the public, including
opportunities for public comment in English and other languages.
ii. Reviewing Use Policies for technologies that generate Sensitive Personal
Information and making recommendations on changes
iii. Reviewing Technology Impact Reports for technologies that generate
Sensitive Personal Information and making recommendations on changes
iv. Reviewing Annual Impact Reports for technologies that generate Sensitive
Personal Information and making recommendations on changes
v. Reviewing data sharing agreements.
vi. Reviewing new and existing technology-related contracts.
2. The Privacy Advisory Board should have nine members, at least two-thirds of whom are
Chula Vista residents.
a. Chula Vista residents should comprise a super-majority of Board members
because residents experience the impacts of City decisions on privacy and
technology to a much greater degree than non-residents do.
b. The purpose of allowing non-residents to serve on the Board is to recognize that
non-residents also experience the impacts of City decisions on privacy and
technology, especially if they work, own a business, or attend school in Chula
Vista. Additionally, non-residents may have valuable expertise or perspectives
that should be included on the Board.
c. There is no requirement to include non-residents on the Board.
3. Privacy Advisory Board members will be selected through a combination of City staff
review, community review, and City Council review.
a. Members of the Board should be selected through a process that includes review
and vetting by both City staff and by community leaders, similar to the process
used to appoint members of the Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force.
b. All members of the Board must be approved by a majority vote of the City
Council pursuant to the City Charter.
c. The purpose of involving community leaders in the selection process for some
members is to ensure that Board membership is not exclusively determined by
City staff or elected officials.
4. Selections to the Board should reflect the City’s diversity in terms of race, gender, and
age.

3. Assisting in the preparation and presentation of technology Use
Policies for Board review
iii. Performing internal audits and ensuring compliance with data retention
standards and use policies, and coordinating with external privacy auditors
when applicable
iv. Evaluating new technology acquisitions for potential privacy issues
Use Policies
6. The City should create written Use Policies that govern the use of each technology that
generates Sensitive Personal Information and the data generated by those technologies.
a. Each policy should clearly state the purpose of the technology, who will be
allowed to access the technology, how the technology can be used, what kind of
data the technology generates, how that data can be used, how that data is
protected, and the retention period for that data.
7. Use Policies should be drafted by the applicable department in consultation with the
Chief Privacy Officer, then reviewed by the Privacy Advisory Board.
a. Departments will use a template created by the Chief Privacy Officer.
8. Use Policies should be reviewed annually and updated if necessary. Use policies should
also be reviewed and updated any time there is a significant change in the function or
purpose of the technology.
9. Due to the large number of use policies that may need to be created or updated, the Chief
Privacy Officer and Privacy Advisory Board will perform an analysis that prioritizes
current and future technologies based on the impact and risks to individual privacy.
Based on the results of this analysis, use policies will be reviewed for the highest-ranked
technologies first.
a. Facial recognition technology, other biometric systems, surveillance systems, and
systems that use machine learning algorithms should be a top priority for Board
review.
Data Retention and Data Sharing
10. The City should never sell the data it collects nor allow third parties working on behalf of
the City to sell or use data owned by the City except as necessary to provide the
contracted service to the City.
11. Sharing of Sensitive Personal Information between City Departments should be subject to
a review process that includes approval by the City Manager and periodic review by the
Chief Privacy Officer and Privacy Advisory Board.

City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force: Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
6
a. The purpose of this policy recommendation is to ensure there is a clear
understanding of how data is being used and shared between departments, and to
prevent situations where there is uncertainty around how data is being used, such
as in the case of the informal data-sharing that occurred between Engineering and
the Police Department regarding traffic signal camera feeds.
b. This recommendation does not apply to the sharing of standard business data or
other operational information between departments. It does apply to data that can
be used to identify a person.
12. External data-sharing between the City and third parties must be approved through a
formal, auditable process that includes the Chief Privacy Officer and Privacy Advisory
Board.
a. The purpose of this policy recommendation is to prevent situations like the
sharing of ALPR data with law enforcement agencies that should not have had
access to it.
b. The review should ensure that personal information is not being shared and that
the data has been repackaged and de-identified to minimize the possibility of
privacy violations.
13. The City Records Retention Schedule should be re-organized and expanded to include
information on what personal data is collected and when that data will be deleted.
a. As part of these updates, the Records Retention schedule should be presented in a
format that provides a category for data type in addition to the existing categories.
b. The Chief Privacy Officer should collaborate with the City Clerk to lead this
process.
14. The City should establish a more formal process for ensuring that personal data is being
deleted according to the Use Policies established for that data.
15. The City should establish a policy that it will not collect personal data unless it is
absolutely necessary to provide the core service.
a. The Chula Vista Public Library’s approach to personal data is a model that should
be followed citywide. Personal data is only collected and retained for the period
necessary to provide the service. For example, the library keeps a record of an
item checked out by an individual borrower only until that item is returned, at
which point data related to that transaction is deleted.
b. To ensure compliance with this policy, the Chief Privacy Officer should randomly
sample Departments or data sets to review on a periodic basis.
16. Where possible, the City should anonymize, remove, or de-identify data that relates to a
person.
a. It must be understood and acknowledged that anonymization strategies will not
completely protect individuals from having their identities reverse-engineered
from otherwise anonymized datasets, but these strategies are still valuable in
mitigating risks to individual privacy.

17. The role of the City’s Data Governance Committee should be more clearly defined and
communicated to the public.
a. The City should ensure that the work of the Data Governance Committee is
consistent with the City’s adopted privacy policies and with the role or
recommendations of the Privacy Advisory Board.
Transparency and Oversight
18. City staff should provide Annual Technology Reports (as defined) to the Privacy
Advisory Board on the use of proposed or existing technologies that generate Sensitive
Personal Information.
a. Any other reports currently provided on a more frequent basis (such as Automated
License Plate Reader systems) should continue to be provided on the same basis.
19. City staff should provide the public with full disclosures about what technologies have
been acquired, what data is being collected, and how that data is being used.
a. These disclosures should happen in a variety of ways, including on the City’s
website, through email newsletters, social media, and in printed communications
mailed to residents.
b. These disclosures should address what data is being collected, what department is
collecting it, how it is being used, who has access to it, how long it is retained,
etc.
c. Where feasible, signs should be posted to notify and disclose surveillance
technology. For example, if surveillance cameras are added to parks, signs should
be posted notifying visitors that they are under video surveillance.
d. The City should hold public forums, educational seminars, and other types of
community events to ensure the public is informed and has an opportunity to hold
the City accountable for how technologies that generate Sensitive Personal
Information are being used.
e. All public disclosures related to technology, data, and privacy should be provided
with adequate time for public review before any meeting. The 72-hour standard is
not sufficient for the public to review and consider new information, especially
when that time period coincides with weekends and holidays.
20. Information about privacy and technology that is provided on the City website should be
easy to find and easy to understand.
a. Links to disclosures should be provided on each Department’s page within the
City website.
b. The City’s “smart city” webpages should have their own navigational tab or
section on the City website, rather than being contained under the Business /
Economic Development section.
21. Contracts with technology vendors should be easy for the public to find and review.
a. This should include information about the status of existing contracts, including
upcoming renewal or termination dates.

June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force: Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
8
22. Data breaches should be disclosed to affected individuals as soon as possible, pursuant to
all applicable state and federal laws, and the City should provide a general notification to
the public once the issue has been fully resolved.
a. Notification to the general public should occur through a wide range of
communications channels, including social media, news media, and the City
website. To protect the City’s information security, only limited information
should be released to the general public.
23. Residents should have the opportunity to opt-out or have their data deleted if it was
provided voluntarily to the City and is not needed for City operations.
a. It is understood that individuals will not be able to opt-out of certain types of data
collection, such as a drone responding to 9-1-1 calls, or medical data being
retained following a emergency medical service call.
24. The City should establish strong whistleblower protections for any employee who reports
a suspected violation of the City’s privacy or technology policies or any use of City
technology that could violate an individual’s privacy.
Procurement
25. All contracts with privacy risks must be presented to the City Council, regardless of
whether they meet standard purchasing and contracting thresholds that typically trigger
City Council review.
26. At least one month prior to a City Council decision to acquire new technology that
generates Sensitive Personal Information or to adopt new policies around the use of new
or existing technology that generates Sensitive Personal Information, the City should hold
public meetings to solicit community input on the proposed policies associated with the
technology.
a. Meetings should be held in locations on both the West and East sides in locations
such as public libraries.
b. These public meetings should include a presentation by City staff outlining how
the technology would work, types of data to be collected, how the data would be
protected, etc.
c. These meetings should be recorded and made available on the City’s website
and/or social media channels such as YouTube, and links to the video should be
promoted through City communications channels in the weeks prior to a City
Council decision.
27. Following the public meetings and prior to seeking City Council approval for a new
technology that generates Sensitive Personal Information, City staff should create a
Technology Impact Report as defined.
a. Any change in the proposed use of a technology that generates Sensitive Personal
Information requires a new Technology Impact Report.
Page 241 of 338
City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force: Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
9
28. Prior to City Council presentation, contracts with privacy risks must be reviewed by the
Chief Privacy Officer and the Privacy Advisory Board. The evaluation provided by the
Chief Privacy Officer and the Privacy Advisory Board must be included as part of the
report presented to City Council.
29. Public disclosures should follow a process similar to the one outlined in Appendix C, in
which City staff first hosts community meetings at least one month prior to a City
Council meeting, then provides draft Technology Impact Reports and Use Policies to the
Privacy Advisory Board, then receives feedback and a recommendation from the Privacy
Advisory Board, then provides public notice at least two weeks in advance of a City
Council meeting, and then holds a public hearing at a City Council meeting.
30. As a strategy to mitigate risks to the City’s information security, the City should establish
a preference for acquiring technology that is developed and sold by companies that are
owned and based in the United States.
31. Prior to agreeing to acquire new technology that generates Sensitive Personal
Information, the City Council should make a determination that the following conditions
have been met:
a. The collection and use of Sensitive Personal Information is reasonably necessary
and proportionate for one of the following purposes, and that this purpose
outweighs the risks and costs to the civil rights and civil liberties of Chula Vista
community members:
i. The vital interest of the individual
ii. The public interest
iii. Contractual necessity
iv. Compliance with legal obligations
v. Unambiguous consent of the individual
vi. Legitimate interest of the City
b. City staff have provided an adequate justification for the stated purposes,
retention periods, and impacts of the technology.
c. The public has been notified at least 30 days prior to the City Council decision.
d. The Privacy Advisory Board has reviewed and provided a recommendation as
part of the City’s due diligence and risk assessment process, and this
recommendation has been documented and considered by the City Council.
e. The City will follow best practices — including, but not limited to,
anonymization, encryption, and least privilege access — to safeguard data.
f. The City will govern the use of surveillance data and biometric data in a manner
similar to the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) requirements for “sensitive
data.”
32. The City may not enter into any agreement that prohibits the City from publicly
acknowledging that it has acquired or is using a particular technology. Nondisclosure
agreements are acceptable only to extent that they protect a vendor’s proprietary
information without prohibiting the City’s acknowledgement of a relationship with the
Page 242 of 338

Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force: Final Summary of Policy Recommendations
10
vendor.
33. Contracts should include a clause of convenience that allows the City to terminate the
agreement in the event the vendor violates any restriction on the sale or sharing of data or
otherwise violates individual privacy protections.
34. Technology contracts should require that vendors provide the City with the capability to
audit or review who has accessed what information.
a. These access reports should be provided at pre-designated intervals to City staff
or third-party auditors.
35. City staff should be provided with additional training to assist in recognizing potential
data privacy issues in contracts.
a. Key staff to receive additional training includes the Chief Privacy Officer, Chief
Information Security Officer, City Attorney staff, and purchasing and contracting
staff.
36. Changes in the ownership of a technology that generates Sensitive Personal Information
that has already been reviewed by the Privacy Advisory Board should trigger a new
review by the Privacy Advisory Board.
Information Security
37. Establish a comprehensive information security policy that addresses procedures for
maintaining and controlling access to data and articulates the roles and responsibilities of
data stewards and data custodians.
a. An outline of such a policy has been developed by the Information Security
subcommittee of this Task Force and will be submitted as part of this
recommendation.
b. The policy should make clear that only City-owned mobile equipment using two-
factor authentication should be allowed to connect to the City’s primary network.
Any personal devices connecting to the City’s network must use restricted “guest”
access.
c. The policy should provide for audits of all City-owned equipment to protect
against unauthorized storage of regulated data.
d. The policy should require data security breaches to be reviewed and addressed by
an established panel that includes the Director of Information Technology
Services, the Chief Information Security Officer, the Chief of Police, the City
Attorney, and the Chief Privacy Officer.
e. The policy should require that data is stored and transmitted in encrypted formats
whenever possible and prohibit the communication of confidential data through
end-user messaging technologies such as email, instant messaging, chat, or other
communication methods.
f. The policy should specifically address mobile computing devices, including
recovery of data in the event a mobile computing device is lost or stolen.

Recommended City Information Security Policies
PURPOSE: To provide guidelines with regard to the responsibility of every City of Chula Vista (City) employee
who accesses Data and information in electronic formats and to provide for the security of that Data and to
restrict unauthorized access to such information.
POLICY: Electronic Data is important to the City assets that must be protected by appropriate safeguards and
managed with respect to Data stewardship. This policy defines the required Electronic Data ma nagement
environment and classifications of Data, and assigns responsibility for ensuring Data and information privacy
and security at each level of access and control.
SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY: This policy applies to all City personnel and affiliated users with access to City
Data.
DEFINITIONS:
Affiliated Users: Vendors and guests who have a relationship to the City and need access to City systems.
Application or App: A software program run on a computer or mobile device for the purpose of providing a
business/academic/social function.
Cloud: An on-demand availability, geographically dispersed infrastructure of computer system resources,
especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the end
user. Clouds may be limited to a single organization (Private Cloud), or be available to many organizations
(Public Cloud). Cloud-computing providers offer their “services” according to three standard models:
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
Confidential Data: Data that are specifically restricted from open disclosure to the public by law are classified
as Confidential Data. Confidential Data requires a high level of protection against unau thorized disclosure,
modification, transmission, destruction, and use. Confidential Data include, but are not limited to:
• Medical Data, such as Electronic Protected Health Information and Data protected by the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA);
• Investigation. Only investigation data and information within the following broad categories is to be
considered Confidential Data:
o Active Investigations;
o Activity that is covered by a fully executed non-disclosure agreement (NDA);
o Information, data, etc., that is proprietary or confidential (whether it belongs to an internal
investigator or an outside collaborator), regardless of whether it is subject to an NDA;
o Information or data that is required to be deemed confidential by state or federal law (e.g.,
personally identifying information about research subjects, HIPAA or FERPA protected
information, etc.); and
o Information related to an allegation or investigation into misconduct.
• Information access security, such as login passwords, Personal Identification Numbers (PINS), logs with
personally identifiable Data, digitized signatures, and encryption keys;

Mobile Computing Devices: Information technology resources of such devices include, but are not limited to,
laptops, tablets, cell phones, smart phones, and other portable devices.
Operation Critical Data: Data determined to be critical and essential to the successful operation of the City as
a whole, and whose loss or corruption would cause a severe detrimental impact to continued operations.
Data receiving this classification require a high level of protection against accidental d istribution, exposure or
destruction, and must be covered by high quality disaster recovery and business contin uity measures. Data in
this category include Data stored on Enterprise Systems such as Data passed through networked
communications systems. Such Data may be released or shared under defined, specific procedures for
disclosure, such as departmental guidelines, documented procedures or policies.
City Provided Data Systems: Information technology resources, as defined and described by the City and used
for the storage, maintenance and processing of City Data.
Unrestricted Data: Information that may be released or shared as needed.
Usage/Data Use: Usage and Data Use are used interchangeably and are defined as gathering, viewing,
storing, sharing, transferring, distributing, modifying, printing and otherwise acting to provide a Data
maintenance environment.
PROCEDURES:
1. Data Stewardship
Data Stewards are expected to create, communicate and enforce Data Maintenance and Control Methods.
Data Stewards are also expected to have knowledge of functions in their areas and the Data and information
used in support of those functions. The Chief Information Officer(CIO) is ultimately accountable for the Data
management and stewardship of all the City data. The CIO may appoint others in their respective areas of
responsibility.
2. Data Maintenance and Control Method
Data Stewards will develop and maintain Data Maintenance and Control Methods for their assigned systems.
When authorizing and assigning access controls defined in the Data Maintenance and Control Methods
involving Confidential Data and Operation Critical Data, Data Stewards will restrict user privileges to the least
access necessary to perform job functions based on job role and res ponsibility.
If the system is a City Provided Data System, City Technology Services will provide, upon request, guidance and
services for the tasks identified in the Data Maintenance and Control Method.
If the system is provided by a Public Cloud, the Data Steward must still verify that the Data Maintenance and
Control Method used by the Public Cloud provider meets current City technology standards (to be written)?.
Further, ongoing provisions for meeting current City technology and security standards (to be written)? must
be included in the service contract.

(such as Freedom of Information Act requests, subpoenas, law enforcement agency requests, or any other
request for Data from an external source) must be directed to the City Attorney and processed in accordance
with existing policies.
Standards for secure file transmissions, or Data exch anges, must be evaluated by the CIO when a system other
than a City Provided Data System is selected or when a Public Cloud is utilized. Specific contract language may
be required. The City Attorney must be consulted regarding such language.
Unencrypted authorization and Data transmission are not acceptable.
Communication of Confidential Data via end-user messaging technologies (i.e., email, instant messaging, chat
or other communication methods) is prohibited
5. Storing Data
Data cannot be stored on a system other than a City Provided Data System without the advance permission of
the Data Steward and demonstrated legitimate ne ed.
Data should be stored in encrypted formats whenever possible. Confidential Data must be stored in
encrypted formats. Encryption strategies should be reviewed with City Technology Services in advance to
avoid accidental Data lockouts.
Data cannot be stored on a City-provided Computing Device unless the device is encrypted without the
advance permission of the Data Steward and demonstrated legitimate need.
Data must be stored on devices and at locations approved by Data Stewards. If information techn ology
resources (computers, printers and other items) are stored at an off-campus location, the location must be
approved by Data Stewards prior to using such resources to store City Data.

Technology enables the storage of Data on fax machines, copiers, cell phones, point-of-sale devices and other
electronic equipment. Data Stewards are responsible for discovery of stored Data and removal of the Data
prior to release of the equipment.
When approving Mobile Computing Device Usage, Data Stewards must verify that those using Mobile
Computing Devices can provide information about what Data was stored on the device (such as a cop y of the
last backup) in the event the device is lost or stolen.
In all cases, Data storage must comply with City retention policies. Data Usage in a Public Cloud system must
have specific retention standards(to be written)? written in the service contract. The City Attorney must be
consulted regarding such language.
Provisions for the return of all City Data in the event of contract termination must be included in the contract,
when Data is stored on a Public Cloud. The City Attorney must be consulted regarding such language. Current
security standards (to be written)? (such as controlled access, personal firewalls, antivirus, fully updated and
patched operating systems, etc.) will be evaluated when a system other than a City Provided Data System is
selected and must be covered in contract language. The City Attorney must be consulted regarding such
language.
Data stored on Mobile Computing Devices must be protected by current security standard methods (such as
controlled access, firewalls, antivirus, fully updated and patched operating systems, etc.).
City standard procedures (to be written) for the protection and safeguarding of Confidential Data and
Operation Critical Data must be applied equally and without exception to City Provided Data Systems, Mobile
Computing Devices and systems other than City Provided Data Systems, such as Public Cloud solution.

Surveillance & Community Safety Ordinance
(Revised - July 15, 2022)
ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER XXXX TO THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE CITY’S
ACQUISITION AND USE OF SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista (“City”) takes great public pride in its status as a
Welcoming City and as a Smart City; and
WHEREAS, smart public safety decisions and the protection of all community members
require that municipalities ensure public debate and community involvement in decisions about
whether to acquire or use surveillance technology; moreover, that real public safety requires that
residents have a voice in these decisions; and
WHEREAS, across the U.S. cities that have adhered to a “privacy bill of rights” approach
are able to win public support in implementing the technology with proper safeguards in place to
build trust. Alternatively, cities that implement new technology in secrecy, without oversight,
without policy, and without broad and inclusive public input have found themselves facing
scrutiny, lawsuits, and voter referendums to ban certain technologies.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is essential to have an informed public debate as
early as possible about decisions related to the City’s acquisition and use of surveillance
technology; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that, while the use of surveillance technology may
threaten the privacy of all citizens, throughout history, surveillance efforts have been used to
intimidate and oppress certain communities and groups more than others, including those that
are defined by a common race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, income level, sexual
orientation or political perspective; and
WHEREAS, while acknowledging the significance of protecting the privacy of citizens,
the City Council finds that surveillance technology may also be a valuable tool to bolster
community safety and aid in the investigation and prosecution of crimes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that surveillance technology includes not just
technology capable of accessing non-public places or information (such as wiretaps) but also
may include technology which aggregates publicly available information, because such
information, in the aggregate or when pieced together with other information, has the potential
to reveal a wealth of detail about a person’s familial, political, professional, religious, or sexual
associations; and
1
Appendix D: Sample OrdinancesAppendix D: Sample Ordinances
Page 262 of 338
City of Chula Vista City Council
June 13, 2023 Post Agenda
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that no decisions relating to the City’s use of
surveillance technology should occur without strong consideration being given to the impact
such technologies may have on civil rights and civil liberties, including those rights guaranteed
by the California and United States Constitutions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that any and all decisions regarding if and how the
City’s surveillance technologies should be funded, acquired, or used should include meaningful
public input and that public opinion should be given significant weight in policy decisions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that legally enforceable safeguards, including robust
transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect civil rights and
civil liberties before any City surveillance technology is deployed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that if a surveillance technology is approved, data
reporting measures must be adopted that empower the City Council and public to verify that
mandated civil rights and civil liberties safeguards have been strictly adhered to.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:
Section I. Establishment

Item 7.1 - Napolez
Good afternoon,
I hope your week is going well. Below is my e-comment for tonight's city council meeting. I was
having difficulty submitting via the website.
Line item 7.1 provides no clear information on what next steps will take place. As a former
representative on last year's Tech & Privacy Board, the City has been given suggestions and
researched data to add in providing guidance on this conversation. From reviewing the agenda, I
do not see any practical next steps on what the City will do."
Sincerely,

Dear Council Members,
The League of Women Voters' position on surveillance states that ”Cities and counties should enact
privacy and technology-use ordinances to protect privacy and other civil liberties.” Later in that position
it states that there should be “Evidence of crime-prevention effectiveness, civil rights impact, fiscal
costs, and source of funding for surveillance technology…” and the “Establishment of independent
civilian commissions at the local jurisdiction level which consist of representatives of involved
communities of interest such as civil rights advocates, attorneys, marginalized groups, specialists in
technology, privacy and open government, to oversee all law enforcement and government acquisition
and use of technology for surveillance.
The League of Women Voters is concerned regarding the lack of inclusion of impacted communities and
their organizations. We are also concerned that there will be a lot of work to do at the beginning when
they have to monitor any proposed materials along with the materials already purchased and being
used. We recommend having monthly meetings at least until the commission can be able to judge how
often they need to meet.
Kim Knox (she/her)
