State of Surveillance in California – Findings & Recommendations January 2015
State of Surveillance in California – Findings & Recommendations January 2015 Executive Summary In the wake of revelations about the National Security Agency’s rampant warrantless spying and local law enforcement’s use of military equipment in cities like Ferguson, Missouri, community members have been regularly contacting the ACLU with concerns about the proliferation of surveillance. Cities and counties have also increasingly reached out for guidance about how to approach the use of surveillance in ways consistent with civil liberties and civil rights. Yet very little information exists about surveillance technology in California or how to properly consider its acquisition or use. To address this, the ACLU of California conducted a first-of-its-kind assessment of surveillance technology in the state. We also released a new resource guide, Making Smart Decisions About Surveillance: A Guide for Communities, and developed a model ordinance designed to help policymakers ensure adequate transparency, oversight, and accountability.1 The following document summarizes our findings about the state of surveillance in California and recommends several ways that the Attorney General and other state policymakers could take action to help address the widespread lack of transparency, oversight, and accountability for surveillance technology in California. Methodology and Summary of Surveillance Survey Findings From June to November 2014, the ACLU of California2 examined thousands of publicly available3 records for California’s 58 counties and 60 selected cities.4 We researched the types of surveillance technology in communities, including automated license plate readers (ALPRs), 5 body cameras,6 drones,7 facial recognition,8 “Stingrays,” 9 and video surveillance.10 We investigated how much money has been spent to acquire and maintain surveillance technology and the source of those funds. -

April 8, 2021 the Honorable Toni Atkins the Honorable Anthony
April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars. -

2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.
