Northfield Council adopts cybersecurity policy and authorizes police video-records request policy
Summary
Council unanimously approved a Village Cybersecurity Policy and a Police Department Video Records Request Policy that permits fees for production and directs fees to the General Fund; the Police Department confirmed video production is performed in-house.
The Village of Northfield Council on March 11 approved two administrative policies: a Village Cybersecurity Policy and a Police Department Video Records Request Policy.
Law Director Brad Bryan presented the Cybersecurity Policy and asked Council for a motion to approve; Council voted in favor. Mr. Bryan then requested authorization for the Police Department Video Records Request Policy, explaining that the ability to charge the amounts listed in the policy will allow the Village to be partially compensated for staff time spent responding to records requests. Councilmember Renell Noack asked which fund the fees would be allocated to; Mr. Bryan confirmed payments will be deposited to the General Fund. Councilmember Zach Hebebrand asked whether production work is performed in-house or outsourced; Police Chief Brian Zajac advised that the Police Department performs all production work in-house.
Both motions passed by roll call vote, and the policies will guide the Village's cybersecurity practices and the handling and fee structure for video records requests going forward. The meeting record does not include the exact fee schedule text beyond the policy titles and the procedural vote.
