Hi there. Certainly. December 18th article in east bay express. "The Real
Purpose of Oakland's Surveillance Center" by Darwin BondGraham and Ali
Winston. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-real-purpose-of-oaklands-
surveillance-center/Content?oid=3789230&mode=print
p. 2
" The records also show that the Oakland City Council's attempt to rein in the
features of the DAC that pose the most serious threats to civil liberties, and
to craft a privacy and data retention policy, may be too little, too late.
City staffers have apparently found a way to work around the intended policies
of the council."
p. 6
" After the council approved Kalb and Schaaf's resolution requiring creation
of a privacy policy, city staffers appear to have strategized a way to work
around the council's intentions so that they can build upon these DAC
features. In an email exchange on July 26 between Domingo and Amadis Sotelo, a
lawyer in the City Attorney's Office, the two discussed their revisions to the
privacy policy. Sotelo remarked that the resolution language under
consideration "limits you from being able to develop and implement data
retention at later times."
"Is that your intention?" Sotelo asked Domingo.
"No, we want the flexibility to do this after Council approves the Policy,"
replied Domingo.
Baig then cut into the email exchange, asking Domingo, "How are you going to
change after the Council approval?"
Domingo responded, "We've done this before recently. Amadis and I will handle
it."
"It looks like city staff thinks they have flexibility to alter the policy
after council approves it," said Lye of ACLU. "That raises huge questions.""
The July 26th email exchange seems to concern staff modifications to the
Resolution that you were planning on submitting at Council, though it is not
clear. In any case, the article incorrectly implies that July 26th occurred
after the Council approved CM Kalb's and Schaaf's amendments to the
Resolution. In fact, the amendments were finalized on July 30th, the date of
the Council meeting. It would be helpful to receive clarification about what
the quoted exchange communicated.
