Amendment to Chapter 19B

• Passed by the Board 12/17/2019 and

approved by the Mayor 12/20/2019

• Three issues addressed:

› Facial Recognition Technology (19.B.2) › Enforcement (19.B.8) › Implementing Standards (19.B.9)

5

Facial Recognition Technology

• Departments prohibited from obtaining,

retaining, accessing, or using (1) face recognition technology, or (2) any information obtained from face recognition technology on City-issued software or a City-issued product or device.

• With two exceptions

6

Exception 1

• A Department inadvertently or unintentionally

gets information obtained from face recognition technology;

• And the Department did not request or solicit

the information;

• And the Department records the receipt of

the information in its Annual Surveillance Report

7

Exception 2

• Face recognition technology is a stock, manufacturer-

installed capability, and the functions unrelated to face recognition technology are necessary to perform essential City functions;

• And the software, product, or device was not acquired

for the purpose of facial recognition;

• And the face recognition technology cannot be

deleted;

• And the Department does not use the face recognition

technology

8

Reporting requirements for facial recognition technology

• Before purchasing the software, product, or device:

›

The Department makes a written finding that it is not being acquired for the purpose of facial recognition

›

The Purchaser makes a written finding that face recognition technology is a stock, manufacturer-installed capability; functions unrelated to face recognition are necessary; and that the product is unavailable without the face recognition technology

›

The Department obtains approval of a Surveillance Technology Policy if the product is a surveillance technology

• Departments possessing face recognition technology certify

compliance annually and post certification and written findings on the Department website

9

Enforcement

• Minor edits to the ordinance clarifying that

a Department with an alleged violation has 30 days to correct it within receipt of the notice

10

Implementing Standards

• City Administrator or City Administrator’s designee can

adopt “rules, regulations, operational standards and interpretative guidelines” to assist departments.

• After a public hearing, standards become operative 10

days after being posted on the website

• Examples of implementing standards:
