Subject:
Resolution No. 5690 Intergovernmental Agreement with Chandler Unified School District No. 80 for Police Department Security Camera System Emergency Access
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5690 pertaining to an Intergovernmental Agreement granting the Chandler Police Department emergency access to the Chandler Unified School District No. 80 Security Camera System; and authorize the Chief of Police, as designated by the City Manager, to conduct all negotiations and to execute and submit all documents necessary in connection with such agreement.
Background/Discussion:
The City of Chandler Police Department and Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) No. 80 desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of working in cooperation with one another to further the public interests served by prompt and informed emergency response services by allowing emergency access to CUSD’s school security camera system. In the event of an ongoing emergency on a CUSD school campus or facility, both CUSD and the Police Department desire to provide first responders with information available through the respective campus security camera system(s) in the interest of the safety of all involved. The City has had a similar arrangement with Chandler Fashion Mall (Macerich) since 2015 that allows the Police Department to access mall security cameras in the event of an emergency only.
The Police Department will only have access to any CUSD campus surveillance system(s) during and in response to an active/ongoing emergency occurring on or involving a CUSD campus, under the supervision and guidance of a District employee, and only to the extent necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals as determined by CUSD. "Emergency" means a situation in which articulable facts indicate that a significant threat to the health or safety of a student or other individuals exists. The Police Department will not have access to any CUSD campus security camera system for any other purpose or at any other time. The Police Department will not have access to the security camera system of any campus that is not involved in the active/ongoing emergency and cannot record or share video content from CUSD security cameras without a subpoena. Likewise, security camera content transmitted to the Police Department from a CUSD facility will not be stored by the City.
CUSD campus surveillance footage is subject to the provisions and confidentiality provided under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99) ("FERPA"). The IGA was approved by CUSD on April 6, 2023, for a term of three (3) years from the effective date (April 3, 2023).
Financial Implications:
There are no financial obligations to the City of Chandler.
