Councilor urges vetting of vendors to prevent sharing Syracuse data with third parties
Summary
A councilor urged rigorous vetting of organizations receiving contracts or awards to ensure Syracuse data are not shared with third parties and thanked the budgeting director for attention to the issue.
During remarks after several consent items, a councilor raised procurement and privacy concerns, urging that organizations the city funds or awards be vetted to ensure they are not sharing Syracuse data with third parties. "I really would like to make sure ... that we continue to really, really vet them to make sure that they are not sharing our data with 3rd parties," the councilor said, and thanked the director of budgeting for taking the issue seriously.
The remark was tied to upcoming contract awards referenced in the consent agenda; councilors noted the city would hold several items for committee review. The council did not on this record adopt a new vetting policy or specify contractual language; the comment was presented as a caution and a request for staff attention.
