Privacy Policy - Kathy read a letter from City Attorney Tim Schmid reviewing a sample privacy policy prepared by the State Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Living and suggesting that the State Attorney General's opinion on releasing library security tapes be attached to the policy once that response is received.
