What Surveillance Technologies has the department used in the last year? Social media monitoring software (Section 2.128.020(G)(1)(I), Twitter monitoring via Tweetdeck. Used by Chief of Staff and Community Engagement and Communications Liaison to follow conversations on Twitter relevant to the Mayor's constituent services responsibilities, and to follow public discussion on matters before the Council.

information to Tweeter users, engaged in a public conversation, or otherwise interacted with a Tweet on a discretionary basis. 6. Did the department receive any public records requests concerning Surveillance Technology? • None. 7. How much did it cost to acquire and operate Surveillance Technology? • No costs associated with acquiring or operating Tweetdeck, office personnel may monitor Tweetdeck data occasionally as part of their regular office duties. 8. Are any communities disproportionately impacted by Surveillance Technology? • Impacts to privacy would likely not be felt by any individual, as a simple search of one's Twitter profile shows all Tweets, likes, retweets, and other activity from a user over the course of that profile's existence, and Tweetdeck would not provide any additional information than could be found during such a search. It is Tweetdeck's ability to monitor public conversations in real time across multiple Twitter accounts that could trigger a privacy concern, as one could use the information to build a network of individuals who used keywords or hashtags associated with certain ideologies: #MeToo, #MAGA, #Nobody Wins, #NeverTrump, #BlackLivesMatter, etc. As Twitter's search functions become more advanced, it is becoming possible to search people's sentiments in a Tweet, collecting all posts that mention Cambridge in a positive or negative sentiment, for example. Current search criteria being compiled on Tweetdeck for Mayor's Office use include the following: @Cambridge_Mayor, #CambMA, #Mapoli, @CambMA, +@CambMA. • Twitter is the only social media platform that is regularly monitored by Mayor's Office staff, which means that those constituents who use other social media platforms do not have the same access to Office staff as Twitter users. Additionally, Twitter users are typically younger, more educated, and more likely to identify as Democrats than the general population. Twitter has been shown to be disproportionately popular among African American and Hispanic users. • The Mayor's Office has attempted to make itself available to a wider proportion of residents by hosting regular open office hours, employing a community engagement team, attending community events, and responding to communications that are received through mail, email, telephone, or other mediums.

21. CITY OF CAMBRIDGE ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT Traffic, Parking, and Transportation Department: Division or Unit (if Parking Management, Street Management applicable): Submitted by: Joe Barr, Brooke McKenna, Stephanie McAuliffe 12/9/2019 Date: 1. What Surveillance Technologies has the department used in the last year? • ATLAS: Massachusetts RMV Website Portal (Parking Management) ATLAS: Massachusetts RMV Website Portal (Parking Management) is a web application provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to access the RMV system. It used by Parking Services staff. Internal access only with user restrictions by name and password. Information accessed includes name, address, license plate number, registration status, vehicle details, vehicle addresses and garage code. Used to issue resident parking permits; view handicap placard information and clear holds on licenses and vehicle registrations. No data is collected or stored, and the public cannot access it. • Traffic Signal Detection Cameras (Street Management): Deployed at a limited number of signalized intersections across the City. Used for detection of roadway users, to classify their mode of transportation, and to quantify their movements at signalized intersections in the City of Cambridge, and to assist in the optimized operation of traffic signals. The aggregated data collected will be analyzed and used to improve the efficiency and safety of operations for all roadway users. The technology will also provide City staff with continuous roadway user counts to allow for evaluation of seasonal and annual traffic volume variations to assist in future design and planning projects. The detection cameras include 360 degree units manufactured by Mio Vision and directional cameras manufactured by Iteris. • MioVision Traffic Count Mobile Camera Units (Street Management) These units are deployed in the field by transportation consultants, at various locations on a temporary basis. The units are typically attached to a signal, utility, or streetlight pole within the right of way. This technology collects traffic video and data that is later processed to provide a variety of traffic related data such as turning movement counts, intersection counts and classifications, road volume counts, and travel times. 2. Has any Surveillance Technology data been shared with a third party?
• Mio Vision Intersection Cameras are accessed by the Vendor, Mio Vision, for purposes of set up, training, and trouble shooting of the product. • Video from MioVision Traffic Count Mobile Camera Units is collected and accessed by Transportation Consultants. Given that past deployment has taken place without City approvals, we cannot determine who has accessed the data. Moving forward, a permitting system will allow us to understand who is collecting data. 3. What complaints (if any) has your department received about Surveillance Technology? • The department has received inquiries about the installed cameras from time to time, but typically the inquiries are not complaints. We explain the use of the technology and that has been satisfactory for individuals inquiring. Moving forward, we will formally log all incoming inquiries about the technologies. 4. Were any violations of the Surveillance Use Policy found in the last year? • N/A 5. Has Surveillance Technology been effective in achieving its identified purpose? • ATLAS: Massachusetts RMV Website Portal (Parking Management) is used daily by Parking Services staff to issue resident parking permits, view handicap placard information and clear license and registration holds. In 2019, 38,381 Resident Parking Permits have been issued. In FY19, there were 17,973 chargeable clears for license and registrations holds. • Traffic Signal Detection Cameras: The MioVision units were installed in late 2019 and are functioning as expected. We will be better able to assess the success of the units once we have collected enough data to use for analysis. • Mio Vision Traffic Count Mobile Camera Units: These data collection units are a significant improvement over past manual and tube data collection methods. In the past, counts have been taken by hand, which is far more labor intensive and limits the amount and timeframe of the data collected. Tubes used for data collection frequently malfunctioned or were destroyed by road traffic or street cleaning vehicles. Overall, the video-based data collection allows for better data collection, and as a result, far better data analysis for transportation planning. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain detailed counts using any other methodology as most vendors are using this technology.
6. Did the department receive any public records requests concerning Surveillance Technology? • In January we received a request from John Hawkinson that was sent to via email to the City Manager's office.

22. CITY OF CAMBRIDGE ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT Water Department: Division or Unit (if applicable): Fred Centanni Submitted by: Date: 12/9/2019 1. What Surveillance Technologies has the department used in the last year? • Automated Meter Reading (AMR) System: The Water Department's AMR system is a radio-based system which transmits on a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) licensed/reserved frequency. Meter Transmitter Units (MTUs) are attached to every water meter throughout the city. The MTU transmits water meter reads in a propriety format. These reads are transmitted every 4 hours on a floating schedule. For example, an MTU will transmit a read today at 6:00AM, and then transmit a read tomorrow at 6:03AM. The reads are received by the Data Collection Units (DCUs) located within the city. The DCUs transmit the meter readings, using a cell phone network, to a communications computer located at the Water Department. The communications computer then transfers the data to a database computer which translates the data in order for the city to view the water meter reads. This allows the Water Department to provide actual reads for billing and allows us to alert customers for potential leaks at their property. Below is an example of our STAR AMR software and the data collected: MTU 6201373, Por 1 Readings neares for me pen ou ere so days Date Installec: 11/062018 00:36.19 AM EST X Meter sere 2: 1534037 herna Fer Pege Meter Type: ABB,C700,5/Ex3/4, SCANCODER,1 CU.FT.
