It has been almost a year since Harborside Park was closed to the public. This park was funded using tax payer dollars and developer impact fees. If the City Council wants to convert the park space into affordable housing, then the funds used to construct the park need to be deposited back into those fund accounts to be used to build another park in the same district. Also, City Council needs to review this website https://www.parksforcalifornia.org/parkaccess/ before making a decision. Lastly, there is already a concentration of affordable housing in this Council District as shown in the City's affordable housing resource list. The list does not include two transitional housing projects that are near the Palomar Trolley Station and Anita Street Apartments https://www.chulavistaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/25807/638133637198400000 Please make an educated and informed decision before recommending an affordable housing project on this site.
Mary Davis
HARBORSIDE PARK - The property needs to remain a park. This community has historically been underserved, and snatching a neighborhood park from them to pad the pockets of developers is just more marginalization. Do the right thing and dedicate the resources necessary to keep the park safe, secure, and inviting for local families. It is absolutely a matter of political will and agendas. Side with the people, not with corporations and developers.

after reading the staff report it seems there is no oversight on security or the fact that some document are not available to the public. see that why is not report on the security or risk of hiring outsiders to upload sensitive material. and if there was there is no mention of it. i dont not support contracting out when the public isnt informed on the risk of having said company doing data input which is already and could be handled by city clerk. the risk imposed by the city is not mention. let alone are your servers on site or is the internet providing ur link to nonpublic information. i have tons of questions considering the people didnt even mention leads me to think they dont know about the internet and how networks work.

This is an important issue that should reflect the voices of the residents of Chula Vista through a Commission and not just that of the City Manager.
Jeanne Brown (Chair, Criminal Justice Committee, LWVSD) The League of Women Voters of San Diego has a position believes that cities and counties should enact privacy and technology-use ordinances to protect privacy and other civil liberties. The proposed ordinances should include requirements for audits of specified policy and data in an annual surveillance report that is publicly available. Ordinances should also include evidence of crime-prevention effectiveness, civil rights impact, fiscal costs, and source of funding for surveillance technology. In order for the commission to be able to measure that effectiveness, more data needs to be collected on a regular basis and the commission would need to meet regularly and often, particularly at the beginning when they have so many technologies that have not been thoroughly evaluated.
Patricia Mondragon
Thank you for your leadership in creating a commission that will oversee protecting resident's privacy and other civil liberties. However, more robust amendments are needed to ensure the Commission has the tools and authorities it needs to oversee the vast surveillance technology in use today and in the future for the City of Chula Vista. Please adopt the amendments and suggestions being proposed by the community. If amendments cannot be adopted during this meeting, postpone your vote until you can meet with advocates and draft the ordinance based on established best practices in the field of privacy protection.
Margaret Baker
South Bay People Power supports formation of a commission to advise our City Council about surveillance technology & privacy protections. We appreciate our councilmembers’ support & efforts for improvements to the original ordinance, but feel more work is needed to correct critical omissions & language & to clarify specific processes for oversight and decision-making. We have studied this second version carefully & prepared an overview of some of the amendments we feel are essential & a document that shows precisely & more completely what critical changes are still needed.
Chula Vista needs an ordinance that:
1) Empowers the Commission with the time, access, & authority to advise the City Council to make fiscal & policy decisions regarding privacy protection & surveillance technology; 2) Enables the Commission to fulfill its advisory role to the City Council by setting clear purposes, functions, membership qualifications, meeting frequency & schedule; & 3) Strengthens community engagement, independent expert advice, & the City Council’s fiscal & policy-making role regarding technology acquisition, use & oversight.
We cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to set explicit & unambiguous provisions in the ordinance that establishes the commission. Every word matters. Therefore, we encourage you to take the time to seriously review & incorporate our carefully-worded proposed amendments into a revised Ordinance Version 3 for consideration at your next meeting.
Ian Seruelo
We urge you to seriously consider the language proposed by the community that ensures the privacy and protection of civil liberties. We welcome the amendments that has been advanced but clear and unambiguous language needs to be incorporated to define the terms and provisions geared towards the protection of civil liberties of members of our communities.
Brenda Aguirre
Chula Vista residents are urging the implementation of a clear prohibition on the use of invasive surveillance technology in our community. Our fundamental right to privacy, as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, must be respected. It is crucial for the City Council to establish ethical standards before adopting such technology. I request that the City Council amend the current proposed ordinance, taking into account the following questions that need immediate attention during technology discussions: Why is the data being collected? Who is seeking this data and for what purpose? What is the ultimate goal of utilizing this technology? It is essential to ensure that the use of technology does not cause any physical or psychological harm to the residents of our community.
Kathy Hardy
Chula Vista residents deserve and expect to have explicit provisions in place for the use of invasive technologies in our community. Our right to privacy is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 4th Amendment. It is critical that this City Council apply an ethical standard if the City is going to continue its use of this technology. I am asking the City Council to amend the current proposed ordinance while keeping in mind that the following questions should be addressed in future technology discussions: Does the technology in question cause unwarranted physical or psychological harm? Are residents aware that data is being collected, who is seeking it and why? Does the technology truly meet the goals of the community? This issue should not be “rubber-stamped” but requires introspection, ongoing discussions, revisions when necessary, oversight and community engagement.
Mary Davis
#PrivacyJustice - This is a good start, but you need to add protections for vehicular tracking technologies, which will be an increasing issue as the state pushes a Road Charge (aka Mileage Tax) system that will track miles driven.
Many vehicles have built-in GPS, and new models coming soon will soon have vehicle disabling capabilities (Biden's IIAJ Section 24220.)
Please abide by the protections in the 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, as well as Article 1 of the California Constitution. The right to privacy and to be free from routine tracking is a core foundational principal of our country.
Uphold #PrivacyJustice, and NO to building default systems that can impose mass surveillance at unprecedented levels.
The pending OBD III (Onboard Diagnostics) is on the horizon and holds dire privacy concerns:
"OBD-III imposes sanctions based on 'suspicionless mass surveillance' of private property. From a legal perspective, it is unprecedented: previous technologies have looked only at surveillance and tracking of individuals."
#PrivacyJustice
Pati Ruiz
I encourage the council to take their time to ensure that community members concerns are addressed before moving forward. Specifically, I would like to see inconsistencies in terminology addressed and operational definitions for terms in the document. There should also be language to affirm the full scope and duties of the Privacy Protection and Technology Advisory Commission as recommended by the Chula Vista Technology and Privacy Advisory Task Force in our Final Summary of Policy Recommendations.
