Municipal Code/Ordinance - Video Surveillance System.
On October 1, 2007, the El Cerrito City Council passed a second reading of an Ordinance which would require certain businesses to install a Video Surveillance System. Those businesses are:
  • sell beer, wine or distilled spirits to be consumed off the premises;
  • sell firearms;
  • are second hand dealers (e.g. pawnbrokers, or coin dealers);
  • banks;
  • check cashing businesses;
  • convenience stores;
  • carry-out food and drink establishments (Primary business is Take-Out); and
  • shopping centers
On the First reading of the Ordinance the Council passed the Minimum Technical Specifications for each system which was crafted by the Police Department. The Council also adopted a loan program for the small business owner, that Agenda Bill is also on the Web page.

Below you will find a Web page the City has created that includes all of the information that was presented to the City Council. Needless to say, if a person wanted to contact me directly, I would be happy to discuss this issue with them or they can contact Commander Michael Regan:
