Quincy council takes up surveillance rules, Granite Links lease
QUINCY ‒ City councilors on Monday, Nov. 9, will hold a public hearing on police surveillance technology and tackle a resolution urging state lawmakers not to extend Granite Links' lease of roughly 240 acres of public land into the 22nd century without more extensive financial analysis. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. with a public hearing on an ordinance proposed by Councilors Ziqiang Susan Yuan and Virginia Ryan that would require public input and council approval before the city adopts certain surveillance technologies, including automated license plate readers, facial recognition and systems that can track people or vehicles. The Ordinance Committee will take up the proposal at 6:30 p.m., and the full council could vote on the measure later in the evening. Councilors will also debate a resolution opposing efforts by state legislators to extend the Granite Links lease until 2107 through a rider to the 2026 supplemental appropriations bill, which is still pending on Beacon Hill. The measure calls for an independent financial analysis before the city makes a new long-term commitment involving roughly 240 acres of public land. Other agenda items include elected-official pay, cybersecurity oversight, a proposed independent whistleblower and anti-retaliation policy for city employees, and Mayor
