Discussion Regarding Extending Retention Period for Council Meeting Audio <br />Recordings <br />Ms. Handa reported that the current retention period for the audio recordings of City <br />Council meetings is five years; however, the Clerk's Office has Council meeting audio <br />cassettes for ten years, from 2001 -2010. Audio recordings of board and commission <br />meetings are also retained for five years. <br />Councilmember Prola expressed support for increasing the retention of Council meeting <br />recordings from 5 years to 10 years. <br />Mayor Cassidy commented that the recordings are part of City history, and should be <br />retained; however, he would not seek to convert them at this time. <br />Committee Recommendation: <br />The Committee recommends that the City Council schedule consideration of extending <br />the retention period for City Council audio recordings (both audio cassette and digital) to <br />keep them permanently, and consider establishing a retention period for Board and <br />Commission digital audio recordings to keep them permanently. <br />3. Update on Recording and Posting Audio of Board and Commission Meetings <br />Ms. Fowler reported that the audio recording of the last Rules and Communications <br />Committee meeting was posted on the City website, and test recordings will be made of <br />the November 3rd Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting, and the November 17th <br />Planning Commission meeting. She noted that the online Council meeting audio <br />recordings have not been accessed much. <br />4. Discussion Regarding Special Event Permits and Processes <br />Chief Spagnoli reported on the recent "tattoo party" held at a rented warehouse on 2661 <br />Alvarado Street, at which a triple homicide occurred. Staff reviewed the City's existing <br />codes and authority for enforcement, looked into possible improvements to the code and <br />ways to hold the business accountable. Chief Spagnoli reported that these types of <br />events are underground activities, often advertised on the Internet or through social <br />media through a promoter, and provide false information on permit applications, and are <br />therefore difficult to regulate. She commented on a couple of other recent events that <br />the Police Department was able to identify and successfully shut down. <br />City of San Leandro Page 3 Printed on 11/29/2011 <br />
