A. A City department that obtains approval under SMC 8.80.030 must submit to the City Council, and make available on its website, an annual surveillance report for each surveillance technology used by the City department within 12 months of Council approval, and annually thereafter on or before November 1st. The annual report shall be a single report detailing each type of technology that was utilized by the City. If the City department is unable to meet the deadline, the department head shall notify the City Council in writing of staff’s request to extend this period, and the reasons for that request. The City Council may grant reasonable extensions for good cause.

B. Based upon information in the annual surveillance report, the City Council will, at a public hearing during a regular City Council meeting, reassess whether that surveillance technology as used continues to meet the standard of approval set forth in SMC 8.80.060. If it does not, the City Council shall consider:

1. Directing that the use of the surveillance technology cease;

2. Requiring modifications to the surveillance use policy that are designed to address the Council’s concerns; and/or

3. Directing a report back from the department regarding steps taken to address the Council’s concerns. (Ord. 1145, 2022)
