Gloucester County
Administrator, Brent Fedor’s made what he called, a 180 degree change to his
Quality Assurance Audio Recording Policy. We find Mr. Fedors’ changes to be
positive and appreciate his willingness to listen to and consider the voice of
the people. Many of the Supervisors spoke against the revised policy, but they ultimately left the decision up to Mr. Fedors. Maybe they are worried about being recorded when they call, which could certainly happen if the selection process is completely random. A question that was not asked: "Are government issued cell phones subject to quality assurance recording?" If there is going to be a policy, shouldn't it apply across the board?
We will continue to follow
this and will likely submit a Freedom of Information Act request in the future, for documentation that verifies the recordings are being conducted randomly. We will
also continue to strongly urge Mr. Fedors to implement body cam use by
animal control personnel.
Below you will find the video
of Mr. Fedors explaining his new recording policy and the written version of
his policy. We would have provided the complete explanation and discussion video, but as has become
the norm lately, there were "technical difficulties" that interrupted the Board
of Supervisors meeting broadcast and recording. When it seems like the video is frozen and the colored bars appear, hang tight because the discussion will soon follow. We have also provided a link to
where you can read more about the history of Mr. Fedors’ policy and other
interesting stories.
