AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CITYWIDE
PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERA SYSTEM IN LA QUINTA
RECOMMENDATION
Approve policies and procedures for a public safety camera system in La
Quinta.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•In September 2016, the City Council formed an Ad-Hoc Committee
(Committee) to assess the potential use of a public safety camera
system (PSCS) to enhance public safety.
•During the past four years, the Committee has held 32 community
outreach meetings, conducted a pilot program with three firms, hired a
firm to design a city-wide system, and funded the program as part of
the 2020/21 Capital Improvement Program.
•As part of the PSCS, Council directed staff to create policies and
procedures to oversee the system.
•Staff has presented an evolving draft to Council at two Study Sessions
for discussion.
•The latest version of the Draft Policies and Procedures (Attachment 1)
incorporates public input and comments from Captain Lopez, and has
been reviewed by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On September 20, 2016, the Council established the Committee to study the
use of a PSCS as a tool for police, fire, and emergency responders. Since then,
the Committee has conducted 28 community meetings; 2 focus groups, 2
community surveys; of those, 22 community meetings were during the 90-
Day Pilot Program in 2019. In addition, staff has presented updates and
information at 10 separate Council meetings; 4 study sessions, 1 business
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
89
session and provided 5 department reports. The most recent report was
presented to Council on October 6, 2020.
On March 6, 2018, Council asked staff to develop a draft set of Policies and
Procedures to guide the PSCS that would address privacy concerns. On
January 15, 2019, staff presented Council with draft policies and procedures
for discussion. These were formulated after examining numerous cities’
governing policies and selected the best elements that would would be suitable
for La Quinta’s needs. The policies were reviewed by the City’s insurance
carrier, California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, and the City Attorney. At
this meeting, Council directed staff to gather additional input from residents.
Staff collected feedback during the 22 community meetings as part of the
PSCS pilot program between March 1, 2019 to May 30, 2019. Based on the
comments received, staff worked with the City Attorney to include residents’
comments, strengthen specific clauses to protect individual privacy rights,
limit system access and establish a process for Council to authorize the use of
technology related to license plate readers and face recognition. The latest
version of the Draft Policies and Procedures (Attachment 1) incorporates
comments from Captain Lopez, concerning the potential transmittal and use
of recorded images for evidentiary purposes and has been reviewed by the
City Attorney.
Timetable:
•January 15, 2019 – the first draft of Policies and Procedures presented
to Council - draft based on other cities policies, and review by City’s
insurance carrier and City Attorney.
•June 18, 2019 – staff completed 90-Day Pilot Program and hosted 22
community meetings to gather community feedback on camera system
and policies and procedures.
•December 3, 2019 – staff presented the second draft of the Policies and
Procedures, amended based on public input and review by City Attorney.
•September 15, 2020 – staff provided the Policies and Procedures draft
to council as part of the PSCS Update.
At the October 6, 2020 meeting, staff indicated the cost of the system was
the final piece needed before the Council determine whether or not to move
forward with the system. Prior to awarding a contract, Council asked to review
and approve the PSCS Policies and Procedures. Upon Council approval, the
PSCS Policies and Procedures would be a governing document for the
operation of the system.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect to not approve the PSCS Policies and Procedures as
presented or direct staff to make additional edits to the document. 90
