Item 330 – Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report and CIP Budget Revisions

The CIP Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report presents a semi-annual review and monitoring overview of the City’s CIP available allocations and key funding source activity. This includes a request for City Council to approve budget adjustments that supplement the City’s capital budgeting and internal monitoring processes.

This item would approve the requested CIP budget revisions as outlined in the Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report.

Item 331 – Approve a Resolution Authorizing the Approved 54 Surveillance Use Policies to Remain in Effect Under the TRUST Ordinance with Modifications as Identified

The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) seeks San Diego City Council approval for continued use of 54 surveillance technologies, including its Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system, pursuant to the Transparent and Responsible Use of Surveillance Technology Ordinance (TRUST Ordinance).

The TRUST Ordinance is designed to provide greater transparency to City Council and the public when the City uses or acquires any technology that meets the City’s definition of surveillance. The TRUST Ordinance, codified in San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 2, Article 10, Division 1, requires that for each technology previously approved by City Council, City Departments must:

• Submit to the Privacy Advisory Board (PAB) and to the City Council by February 1 of each year an Annual Surveillance Report (Annual Report) that discusses new surveillance technology and existing surveillance technology approved on or after January 1 of the prior year.
• The Annual Report provides additional, necessary updates to the surveillance technology approved in prior years.
• This annual reporting requirement continues as long as the surveillance technology is used
