Board adopts security camera video-retention policy as part of consent agenda
Summary
During consent-agenda approval, the board adopted a new video-retention policy for county security cameras after staff said there had been no prior formal camera policy; staff indicated previous retention was roughly 30 days and the new policy defines a specific retention timeline.
The Crow Wing County Board approved its consent agenda, which included a newly proposed security camera video-retention policy.
A commissioner asked what the prior camera-retention practice had been. County staff replied there had been no formal camera-retention policy previously and that footage had typically been overwritten after roughly 30 days. Staff explained the new policy establishes defined retention timelines as the county expands its camera systems; during the exchange staff referenced a 14-day retention timeline in the discussion as the defined standard.
The consent agenda motion that included the camera-retention policy carried by voice vote. The meeting record does not show detailed next steps for public notice or policy publication beyond consent approval.
