The City of Chula Vista seeks to establish a Technology & Privacy Advisory Task Force to guide a process to develop policy recommendations governing the use of technology in City operations and services.
The application deadline will be extended through March 18, and draft policy recommendations are planned to be presented to the City Council for consideration in Fall 2022. The task force will study City technology, work with key stakeholders in the community, and develop informed policy recommendations designed to help the City protect individual privacy and enhance technology oversight.
The service areas the task force will oversee include public safety, traffic management, community services, economic development, and other service areas. It will receive presentations from city staff and other experts designed to educate and inform task force members on how the City is using technology, how other cities are using technology, existing laws regulating privacy and the use of technology, digital equity, bias, and information security.
Members of the task force will also have the opportunity to participate in community workshops at various locations in Chula Vista.
The City of Chula Vista seeks a diverse group that represents a range of perspectives. Taskforce members will need to be a resident of Chula Vista; or be a resident of the San Diego region with experience or expertise in the subject matter of the task force.
Preferred qualifications for task force members include Experience or expertise in one of the following areas:
