Board agrees to post pre-application online but flags privacy redactions
Summary
The board approved posting the pre-application form online (kingston-ny.gov/cpap and Engage Kingston) but emphasized the need to redact personal contact details and to consider secure intake tools to sanitize applicant data before public release.
Staff member (S4) reviewed posting options for application materials and said the administration created kingston-ny.gov/cpap and noted the existing Engage Kingston portal where plan materials had been hosted. S4 asked where the board wanted documents to live; Chair (S2) recommended links from both locations to ensure applicants can find materials. The board approved posting the pre-application form but not the full informational packet yet.
Members raised privacy concerns after staff noted a test posting unintentionally revealed a cell phone number; S4 warned "anything that is in this becomes public instantly" and the board asked staff to develop a redaction checklist and to investigate secure intake tools (forms that sanitize personal data) before publishing full applications. The board scheduled a future privacy-focused agenda item to settle redaction procedures.
