Council authorizes agreement with school district to share security-camera footage at park and schools
Summary
The Dayton City Council approved Order-Resolution 2025-36R authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with the Dayton Independent School District to allow shared use of security cameras in Gil Lynn Park and at Lincoln Elementary and Dayton High School; Member Neary raised privacy concerns about footage handling.
The Dayton City Council on Dec. 9 approved Order-Resolution 2025-36R authorizing Mayor Ben Baker to enter an agreement with the Dayton Independent School District that permits both entities to use security cameras in Gil Lynn Park and at Lincoln Elementary School and Dayton High School for their mutual benefit.
Member Judd moved to approve reading of the order-resolution and Member Horton seconded; the motion was adopted on a recorded vote. The resolution authorizes the mayor to finalize an agreement with the school district but the text of operational policies (data retention, access controls, or footage-sharing procedures) was not included in the meeting minutes.
During new business Member Neary offered clarification about privacy concerns tied to security-camera footage, noting that the council should consider how footage will be accessed and used. The minutes do not record a substantive policy response or additional staff presentation about specific privacy safeguards during the meeting.
The minutes show the measure carried on a recorded vote. The council did not specify the agreement's operational terms or which department will administer requests for footage; those details will be handled administratively as the mayor and school district finalize the agreement.
