City Information Technology Director Marc Dahl said Thursday “it’s not technically possible” for members of the IT staff to download videos captured by the lobby surveillance cameras. The camera system is archaic and also does not have access logs available to the IT department, he said. Asked if anyone from the mayor’s office asked IT to view security footage, Dahl said no.

There is no camera inside the hallway that leads to the ombudsman’s office. But two cameras above the elevator doors and another beside the City Hall entrance from Sixth Avenue would show foot traffic heading to and from the ombudsman’s hallway. The hallway to the ombudsman’s office turns a corner, where another camera is pointed at an exit door. Mayberry said this camera is not operational.
