Surveillance record
- Sept 3, 2026. At Police Chief Blair Myhand’s presentation on the city’s fifteen plate readers (the full account, with timestamps), she asked council’s questions: how many documented cases of misuse there had been since the cameras went up in 2024 (1:06:48; the answer was none); how another agency requests access to the city’s cameras, after a meeting she described with the county’s plate-reader technician (1:09:00); how officers stalked partners before this technology existed (1:10:17); whether any device the department owns can trace a phone’s signal (1:12:11; the answer was no); and whether a public records request had gone unanswered (1:12:56). On the recording she asked questions and did not state a position on the cameras. The item ended without a vote or any direction to staff.
The question for her
As a candidate for mayor: would she bring the Flock contract, the department’s sharing settings, and the retention period to a council vote? The Sept 3 item carried no motion, and the contract was not posted as of Sept 8.
