Hi there.  Certainly.  December 18th article in east bay express. "The Real 
Purpose of Oakland's Surveillance Center" by Darwin BondGraham and Ali 
Winston. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-real-purpose-of-oaklands-
surveillance-center/Content?oid=3789230&mode=print
p. 2
" The records also show that the Oakland City Council's attempt to rein in the 
features of the DAC that pose the most serious threats to civil liberties, and 
to craft a privacy and data retention policy, may be too little, too late. 
City staffers have apparently found a way to work around the intended policies 
of the council."
p. 6
" After the council approved Kalb and Schaaf's resolution requiring creation 
of a privacy policy, city staffers appear to have strategized a way to work 
around the council's intentions so that they can build upon these DAC 
features. In an email exchange on July 26 between Domingo and Amadis Sotelo, a 
lawyer in the City Attorney's Office, the two discussed their revisions to the 
privacy policy. Sotelo remarked that the resolution language under 
consideration "limits you from being able to develop and implement data 
retention at later times."
"Is that your intention?" Sotelo asked Domingo.
"No, we want the flexibility to do this after Council approves the Policy," 
replied Domingo.
Baig then cut into the email exchange, asking Domingo, "How are you going to 
change after the Council approval?"
Domingo responded, "We've done this before recently. Amadis and I will handle 
it."
"It looks like city staff thinks they have flexibility to alter the policy 
after council approves it," said Lye of ACLU. "That raises huge questions.""
The July 26th email exchange seems to concern staff modifications to the 
Resolution that you were planning on submitting at Council, though it is not 
clear.  In any case, the article incorrectly implies that July 26th occurred 
after the Council approved CM Kalb's and Schaaf's amendments to the 
Resolution.  In fact, the amendments were finalized on July 30th, the date of 
the Council meeting. It would be helpful to receive clarification about what 
the quoted exchange communicated.
