4. Records Retention.
A. Proposed departmental record schedules for approval
Mr. Houston commented. There were 63 total schedules. Most were superceded
schedules. There were two main schedules pertaining to non-police video surveillance
recordings. Retention for those video recordings without incidents would be nominal at
72 hours to follow the State's retention. Retention for those video recordings with
substance would be at 3 months. If any of the video recording types were found
relevant to a claim or litigation, they would be retained beyond their retention period
until after disposition of the incident and extracted, disposed of, or maintained
according to the RRDAs relevant to the claim or litigation. There were global
schedules for MPD Forensics Division photos from case files where photos related to
fatal cases would be kept permanently and photos related to non-fatal cases would be
kept 7 years. Other MPD global schedules were related to departmental
correspondence. He was working to change MPD policy to use non-physical mediums,
like cloud storage, to retain media records as opposed to using physical mediums like
CDs. Total record schedules in the database have decreased to 2875. The total
number was about 5000 when he first came to work at the City Records Center.
B. State Records Board approval of previous schedules
Mr. Houston said that previous schedules were all approved by the State Records
Board with one minor correction and that those schedules had been distributed to
departments.
5. Communications from the Information and Technology Management Division.
A. Text Message Archiving
Mr. Henke and Surita gave an update. The committee was informed at the last
meeting of ITMD discontinuing the trial software for text archiving. They were still
working to create and provide guidance to departments on text archiving. The general
guidance was to avoid using text messaging for work. They have been working behind
the scenes to find upgrading solutions. There were fundamental improvements that
were being made to Google and Apple smartphones related to linking user accounts to
City enterprise accounts. They were working with Microsoft, Google, and Apple
towards using a City business manager connection for users to log into their City
accounts on their devices and be able to download company portals and software.
There has been success with Apple. Text messaging would be backed up to
OneDrive.
Mr. Houston said that the City Records Center had offered workshops on general
avoidance from text messaging, text messaging as records have been in the national
news for governments, archiving solutions were welcomed, and end users should not
be relied upon to determine text messaging records.
B. Data Governance
Mr. Henke and Ms. Siettmann gave an update. The Data Governance Policy was
adopted by the Common Council back in January. One major component to solicit
input from members was the creating of the Data Governance Board. Board
City of Milwaukee Page 2
CITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Meeting Minutes September 1, 2022
COMMITTEE
membership should consist of department data stewards (such as from Health
Department, MPD, MFD, and DER) and have consultant or staff support from City
Attorney's Office, City Records Center, and ITMD. Protecting critical and private data
would best be a focus of the board. The board could perhaps be codified into creation
like the CIMC or internally function similarly to CART. Further details on the Data
Governance Board composition and structure would be brought to the committee in the
future for formal review.
Members did not have any additional input.
Atty. Block said that data with legal protections should be considered.
Ms. Pawasarat added that the Office of Equity and Inclusion should be included on
matters and demographic data relating to race and ethnicity.
C. Project Updates
Mr. Henke, Surita, and Ms. Siettmann gave ITMD project updates as follows:
A Strategic Technology Plan, as required by City code, was in the works and would be
brought to the next meeting for review.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the City had doubled to about 1,100 presently
since the last update, was going well, would continue, and possibly finish by the end of
the year.
Service Desk Plus has been in the works for several months, would replace RITS, was
an improvement as an asset management tool, would deal with trouble tickets, and
was a full ITIL system. 2,200 assets have been loaded. Incident requests would be
sent into the new system by the end of September.
Concerning Endpoint Detection Response, Antivirus, and AntiMalware tools, ITMD
would be switching to Carbon Black from Malwarebytes by late December. Carbon
Black would provide third party security desk help and response to incidents. ITMD
had purchased about 2,400 licenses from Malwarebytes. Devices would have to
uninstall and install between the two products. Departments may continue to use
Malwarebytes, Microsoft Defender (not ideal), or switch to Carbon Black or another
product. Carbon Black would cost $28 annually per device. SCCM would be used to
deploy products to machines and not individually.
Much of the cyber security updates and improvements were the result of improvements
made available to security and to prepare for the upcoming Republican National
Convention. They were working with Homeland Security on the RNC and would be
doing tabletop exercises in November.
Members said that cybersecurity software for the City should be centrally configured
and there should be a look at making improvements to the City's website as there
have been some complaints received on navigating through it.
Mr. Henke responded that central enterprise solutions were not considered in the 2023
budget, they would consider having centrally enterprise solutions for the 2024 budget,
they would also have to consider the different enterprise groups and obligations that
other departments were using, the County held the contract to the joint website that the

COMMITTEE
City uses with the County, the contract was being updated, and the timing would be
ripe to look at the City's website.
6. Agenda items for the next meeting.
Agenda items to include review of Data Governance Board structure and composition
and a Strategic Technology Plan.
7. Next meeting date and time.
A. Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 10 a.m.
Chair Borkowski commended Mr. Lee for his staff support and said that he would like
for the committee to start meeting in-person to gain a better sense of participation.
Ms. Brengosz said she would assist the committee as the LRB liaison assigned to the
committee.
Ms. Lapworth said that she handled city archive processing at the Milwaukee Public
Library.
