What was that? Okay, perfect. Okay. Okay. Thank you all for joining us today. This is your first council meeting for the newcomers. We are happy that you have come here. So, I will go ahead with the order for the meeting. First, we will make a prayer from Archbishop Celia Joseph of the Liberal Catholic Church. If you are willing, if you can stand, we will accept the faith of Mayor Pro Tem Padilla. Thank you. Oh, you are the first. Oh, forgive me. Yes, right. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Shrestha, we thank you for this day. We remember that we are in the holy land of our brothers and sisters in the Yaki countries for a long time. Let us continue to maintain this land while they and all those who live here have strong and respectful relations. Father, today when our Mayor and City Council members hear their community speaking about the needs of this city, we appreciate your presence. May the soul be guided to do the best for all those who live and believe in their salvation and for their salvation. We thank them for helping to make our city a prosperous city and for the best results. In the name of your son, we proclaim these things. In the name of all the people of God. Amen. Join me in the protest of faith.
I pledge allegiance to the republic that stands with the sovereignty of the United States of America. A nation under God, with freedom and justice for all.
Thank you, Celia. Thank you, Brenda. Okay, the next item is roll call. Adrian, Council, if you can all agree that everyone is here, please agree. Take care. Thank you. Next is minutes.
Mayor Fitz-Hibbons, on August 17, 2026, I have decided to announce the minutes of the regular meeting of the CET Council. The minutes of the Policepersonal Retirement Board meeting on July 26, 2026 and the minutes of the Airport Advisory Board meeting on July 28, 2026 have been announced.
Second, Okay, there is a promise and a second. Is there any more discussion? Okay, let's assume that all of them are God-like. Are there any opponents? Okay, love is a problem. Next are the rights issues.
Second, Do you have any changes?
I don't know. We don't have any changes. Second, Okay, there is a second promise. Everyone who accepts is a God. Do you have any objections? Okay, we have a few objections. I'll go ahead and start. I believe that Chelsea Graham and Evelyn Kasugi from Central Arizona College are with me. So, if you want to join me here in the podium, Sherry, how are you? Sherry, today, from September 13th to 19th, we will be accepting students from Central Arizona College for the National Seminar on Family Literature. Since 2009, the National Coalition of Literacy and the efforts of members of the Congress have made it possible to open doors to literacy and change lives. Here in Pinal County, CAC has been implementing this policy every day. In the form of education services for the most senior citizens in the county, CEC helps to empower the senior citizens to pursue their high school career, to pursue further education, and to prepare them for a meaningful career. But literacy is more than speech and writing. It is about self-confidence, freedom, opportunity, and the ability to fully participate in our society. When teachers get those skills, it will be beneficial for families. So, today, we accept that teachers who can do this job are living teachers and teachers of teachers. So, I am happy that the education of native teachers is accepted as a family language in Central Arizona College in the name of the city. Thank you for helping to open doors through the power of science and literature, to empower families and to build a strong society. So, this is your speech.
Thank you. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you. No. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Hey, thank you. Thank you for being here. Like that, we have some special announcements in the next agenda. But this is a discussion about the participation of all parties in the council that took place two weeks ago last week. Last week, two weeks ago, League of Cities and Towns. So, this is an opportunity for us to share a little information about your experience in the League. So, if anyone has any interest in sharing some important events in the League this week, Where should I start?
Change. I can start. Okay. Okay. One of the first things we started was an important proverb. Their name was Pai. What was Tommy Pfeiffer? Mumma. They have developed a sense of dignity. It is still very good for the time we are handling it. They say, take action, stop violence, solve problems, etc. They have gone through the whole demonstration about whether we are using them in matters, and we are behaving in a dignified manner. As a city, as people with different opinions in this room, I think we have done it very well for the past few months and years. I expect it to continue. They have a limit. It will not bore you. But even if you don't agree, It was very good to see a reduction in respect and respect for people. It is about respecting and respecting different opinions. So, again and again, for the past 10 years, we have done it very well from the part of the Community Council and the part of the Council. So, as it is very clean, we can continue it. They teach this to young people in colleges to help them develop such skills because of the lack of education. All this comes in between. Do you know? So this is a very good example. They got a lot of good examples from the news. I'm going to say a little more. Water is a big topic, for sure. I went to the CAP presentation. And I don't have to say it was terrible. And they are looking for a lot of solutions. We are not running out of water. That is, they have methods. We have methods to stop that. But that is certainly one of the most important things in our minds. What we need to do now is very important. One interesting thing is that CAP is now looking for new water sources outside of Colorado. To obtain clean water from desalination, a desalination plant in Cape California is being secured. They can then allow their water to flow from Colorado River to Arizona to Cape California. This is a way for us to solve problems. They are solving problems to stop the flow of water in Arizona. Because we have created a very expensive canal system. As you all know, I know that Pinal County and our community management area is very low. We have cut out more than any other state in the upper or lower areas. We are here in Pinal County. We know about it. This is a state problem, but we are taking them forward. We are talking to them in search of solutions. Finally, I would like to say that the presidents of the three universities in Arizona held a speech in the morning and not only supported the college education, but also the academic education. Also, the universities are using services for our city and for each city. They said, call us. We are happy to help you. This supercomputer is with us to solve all kinds of problems. You input the data. Double Quote. I'm wondering why they haven't done it for a long time. I don't know. I'm trying to find out. Then how will they help us with the money grant here? So, to do that, we are bringing in our local representatives. Look at what they can do to get more benefits from our universities. To help our population, to help our people, to help young people and the elderly, to help them enter university programs. So, I'll stop there. Okay, I've taken more things about what I've taken now. Yes, this conference was also great. I think about the change. The time spent with diversity was very great. I participated in the Power Arizona Future. The state of energy is the next step to increase their knowledge. There were many different things they said there. It was very great about our power. I took part in data centers, and they were there. They were selected employees. We need to know more about data centers. Do your own research. Struggle, resistance, general investigation is going on anyway. Listen to how to handle me. Listen, continue to study, continue to respond. That's how it came out. In the 21st century, the diversity of Arizona water resources, as Matt said, we were together. Then, the last thing I went to was the Thelathottam Valley. I go there every year. You will get a glimpse of Tiranyaduppu. Oh, who is fishing? And there are a lot of details about the two party parties and what they are doing there. I go there every year. So, we had a wonderful time at our conference. I also enjoyed the gathering with my co-workers.
Thank you. See you. I went to Powering the Arizona Bavi. I thought it was important to know that. And continue the struggle, protest, general investigation, anyway. Listen to me, pay attention to what people have to say, think about it, think, anyway. I thought it was very powerful. I really liked the new meeting with the presidents of Arizona Public University. They were very happy to hear about the opportunities given to the youth in our society. They have a lot of things. We have to investigate it. For that, they are very happy to know that we are ready to be their partners. I continued to study a little more about data centers. It was also very nice to continue reading tea leaves. So, I am grateful to have been able to grow as a leader and understand the different problems in Arizona. Thank you, Brenda. Oh, not me. This was my first year. I couldn't go last year. At that time, I was very happy to see it.
It was very nice to see the majority and all the cities fighting for the same thing. So, we are all going through the same struggles. It was nice. I was talking to one of the council members from Chandler. They are full of strength, but they are still not growing. They are full of strength, but they are still not growing. They are full of strength, but they are still not growing. They are full of strength, but they are still not growing. Thank you.
I gave him an award. We all went to you. Bob got an award of 8 years of service. So we gave it to you, Bob. Okay, Sean. Yes, I really liked League of Cities. It was still very detailed. I was able to participate in the data center. It was one of the most popular group meetings we went to.
I am very proud to know that we have a lot of knowledge in all the data centers they bring. Also, what do we have to ask in the data centers? I thought that our city was very far ahead of that knowledge. We learned some new things here and there, but I was very happy about it. And water was another big problem. As Matt said about the California desalination plant, I am very happy to see Arizona looking for new water resources. and Arizona has been looking at our water status for the past 40 years. That's why Arizona is in the forefront. Throughout our history, they have been promoting these methods. They knew that even a jealous goddess could not be worshipped. That's why they were doing all sorts of things to solve those problems. It was very scientific. The cities were great. We went to see all the other cities, our city and we represented. There were lucid motors. We could see all the other major attractions of other cities. It was very neat. But I am very happy to participate.
No, it is still the best. Those who don't know, there are 92 cities and cities, so it is a pleasure to receive that award. You know, the smallest cities, certainly Phoenix, you get a good strain there. But it is still good. As you said, the brand, it, you know, it is good to network with other cities and talk. Because you see some of the things they experience. We are also going through the same thing. Therefore, it is good to get feedback from your co-council members and certainly from me as the Mayor. I know that you have touched upon this in many sessions. Sujeevi's respect was very high. It reminds us how important it is to ensure that we are paying attention to the chosen employees. Sometimes I know that we are not paying attention to it. But we are trying to accept your opinions. That is why we conduct surveys. That is why we conduct open houses. That is why we conduct these events. And to ensure that we are getting that feedback continuously. So, we will continue to treat people with respect. We need to pay attention to what people have to say. Water, for sure, was a big problem. Medicine, I went to one in medicine. About data centers, you know, and talking about the complex problems of data centers. But these developers are spending their money, and these expenses are very, very expensive. So, even if a data center is turned into a zone, the possibility of them coming due to the cost of infrastructure is still very high. What I noticed this year was that there was a lot of attention paid to Aashiyavinamayam and Ida Pedal. Most of the sessions seem to have been about it. Today we live in a world where there is only lack of faith. People don't believe in the government. They don't believe in people making these decisions. So, again and again, it happens not only in Casa Grande, but everywhere. Therefore, we need to make sure that more information is provided in order to seek feedback, to share information, and to get real-time information. Today's study session was because of that. For the past one year, we really tried to work on it. But in many sessions, it was a big focus. So I thought it was good. And as you know, it is the presentation of cities. We are very lucky to like to tell other people. When we are in our booth, we have lucid there, we have fritola chips, We have a Walmart distribution center. We distribute goods or we sell goods. So we like to say that Frito-Lay made all this in Casa Grande. A lot of people don't understand that we have these companies in this city. So, in fact, do you know that people think we are doing lucid car raffle? They are disappointed in it. So, but it's always good. Our booth is always really good. We like to talk about what's going on in the city. So, as far as League of Cities is concerned, we have a new chairperson. They are from a small town called Superior. Mayor Bisikki is the new chairperson of the league. So, it's nice to have a small community. Last time, it was Chandler Mayor. I am a member of the executive committee of the league. So, I have to participate in various meetings. So, the resolution committee is a meeting of 92 of us. In the upcoming year, we agreed on different plans to help implement a municipal law. Therefore, it is always good for me to network with the mayors. We have 22 members in the executive committee. Therefore, it is a great satisfaction. So, we are eagerly waiting for the next year. So, that's it. Anything else, Sangraham?
The mayor won an award for serving for 16 years. I won. 16 years.
It is an effort to believe. But yes, thank you. Okay, let's move on to the next item in the agenda. That is the consent agenda. Then, all the items included in the consent agenda will be counted regularly. In addition, it will also be approved by a CET council by a vote. If a CET council does not propose to remove one item from the agenda, there will be no special discussion. Then, is there anything that the council would like to withdraw? Larry, is there anyone from the public who agrees to this agenda? Okay, if we can agree to a proposal. Proposal.
I am ready to agree to this agenda as promised by Mayor Fitzhibbons. Please forgive me.
Okay, there has been a moment of silence. Is there any more discussion? Okay, if we get a roll call vote, it will be great.
Council member Remo. Yes. Council member Dugan. Yes. Council member Edwards. Yes. Council member Hedrickson. Yes. Council Angam Harman.
Yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Bidwell.
Yes.
Mayor Fitzgibbons. Yes.
Pramayam Vathakamana. Thank you. Okay. Comments from the public. I have a number of speaker cards here. But the Casa Grande City Council definitely values the opinions of the people. When you call, please tell us your name and speak clearly. Please inform us that we will not ask for your price. But if you are a resident of Casa Grande, please let us know. And please speak clearly on the microphone. Please provide your opinions in less than 3 minutes. To be fair, please try not to spend that time with all our speakers tonight. According to the law, the CET Council cannot refuse or refuse to discuss items that have not been mentioned in the agenda. Hi, Eric.
I'm Eric Fowler, Mayor of Council Angam. I'm the chairman of the Maricopa County Libertarian Party from Chandler. I've been here for years without any complaints. Why am I here now? Because you bought it, you won't leave it. It started with 22 cameras that were stolen from the people who stole it. Tonight, 244 cameras, spy microphones, and an AI device that was not available at the time were stolen. Tonight, three charges were filed. First, there was no tracking. Cheap said, okay, we can't make videos. Read your own Flock. License plate lookup, lookup specific vehicle license plate location history, he said. Location history is Flock's own words. On June 24, I got an FOI-D email from Cave Creek. Flock Police called their next upgrade LPR Pro. Locations through which the operation of the lock, the response, the warning signs, etc. That's how you widows are made. At home, a woman who wore a hoodie on the A.I. floor of an officer's flock was typed and uploaded to everyone's video. In 84 floors, it was not for plates, but for people. In January, a reason for inspecting a student's resume at a deputy deputy chief's seat hall was confirmed as a victory. That's how it is in a first class. Also, this is tracking people. Second, tell me who they are selling to. We'll get rid of Floke tomorrow. Okay, I'll prove it to you. Sheboygan, Wisconsin. In March, I promised to sell 5 years of traffic analytics data from Floke's account executive Sheboygan's own cameras. In your account, Floke will not sell any data to Section 4.3. Traffic Analytics is the fake data from your own footage that is being used to sell. This is the order form of the city that has been included in the Traffic Analytics package. Therefore, the data is being sold cheaply and clearly. Now listen to your statement. Thirdly, no court has ever said how this is in the fourth category. That doesn't mean that it won't happen. That's why the chief is calling those cell phone cases. Not the phones, but the places where people were locked up. A judge in the Chartry case said that the two-hour location locks are in one area. There's no point in her moving a third-party company. Double Quote. On August 5, a federal judge near Chartry called a public warrant against the use of cell phones in a criminal area. The judge said that the entire government cannot enter Waikoukoune because there is a sign on it. Waikoukoune has 200 cameras on all major roads. Now, we can wait until a judge from Baranagadana comes and tells you. That is not a very good law. This is a system of responsibility. What is that system? Each car and each driver took a photo and filed it. It is not because someone has committed a crime. Instead, the police can find all the crimes whenever and wherever they want. The establishment called this a general warrant. This is the same thing that was written to stop the Fourth Amendment. The courts will end this. The only question is whether the Kasa grant will be suspended under its own terms or whether it will be passed on to the judges. Nine agencies in Arizona have approved this. Thank you. Thank you, Jared. Okay. Next is Morgan Brennan.
Hi, Morgan. Automated license plate readers and network surveillance cameras track the movements of the people who obey the law. Where are we going? When we leave our homes, who do we trust? Our data is not available to us. We have to ask ourselves, what is happening to this data? This is often done by local governments and private corporations. This has been used by those who have adopted it in illegal ways. Our employees, friends, and children are paid by tech companies to be insured. When surveillance cameras are used to track and track personal freedom, they can be used as a means of protection against the US government. This mainly indicates the fourth difference. Even though traditional courts have ruled that public facilities are generally permissible, the ability of the modern constitutional court, which has the ability to manage and manage data, has created a serious problem. In addition, these laws have a great financial impact. They are not bought once, they are priced. It is necessary for our local dollars to be fully subsidized by the local government. We, as voters, do not have a part in this. It is to hand over the money from the community funds that have been shown to help young people, road crossings, mental health, and so on to Silicon Valley corporations. The real public security is based on community trust, strong incentives, and human-centered policing. Until it is proven to be a crime, it is not a country that counts every driver in Florence, Bolivarville, Pinell County, and Pinell Avenue as suspicious. It is a city that is growing in the Kasa Grand. But we have to respect personal freedom and grow. Our city can be protected without sacrificing our privacy. I urge you to vote against this funding. Thank you. Thank you, Morgan. Okay.
Look, I understand that all of you are on the wrong side. But you know that we are really trying to succeed in this business. So, I respect that you are trying your best. But if you are really able to stop the change and change, it might be a threat to the other person who wants to talk. So, God, if we can avoid this. Okay. Larry, read.
Hi, Larry. Hi, how are things going? Fine, thank you. Larry Reed. I am a resident of Casa Grande. I am 45 and 46 years old. I am sorry. I am a law student. First, in 2025, FLOC conducted more than 1.5 million criminal investigations. FLOC is helping the court in 20% of the cases in which FLOC is accused. Last year, with the help of FLOC, 10,000 people were found missing and 27 people died a day ago. It is reported that 40% of FLOC employees have been forced to return to their cars for more than half of their rights. This is my personal opinion on the need to use a flock system to identify and identify those who are involved in the crime in Casa Grande. If an incident has happened that is dangerous to the safety of my community and my family, I believe that law enforcement officers and public safety officers will have all the resources to handle it. There is no reason to deny the fact that a legal criticism or a brotherhood will be seen as a wrong judgment or a wrong judgment. Next, in Casa Grande, a local grocery store, a handgun was fired from a store display. One by one, the attention of the people changed, and a second person came and fired a display case from a store. This display case is not accessible to users easily. Two men also received photos of the security cameras in the store. The police were able to give the license number of the vehicle to a flat or security camera camera police in the next chase bank. Within three hours, the car was found, the roof was found, and at 6 a.m. in the evening, everyone was in custody. Another incident related to a murder took place in a nearby local police station. The suspect left the scene in a friend's car and managed to escape from the arrest. The car was inspected through the Flock system and returned. The body of the car was found. The suspect was able to return. Even if he doesn't believe it, he came back from another situation, and now I understand that he is trapped by his actions. Therefore, Floke Floke cameras have proved to be a great help to law-abiding people. Thank you very much.
Larry. Okay, do you have anything else, God? I'll look into it. Are you Baharian? Are you Baharian? Okay.
Hi, sorry. If we could have your name again.
Benjamin Henrion. My name is Benjamin Henrion. I live in Casa Grande, North Millie Lane, in 2552. According to this letter from Pinal County Central, according to our police, the crime rate in Casa Grande last year was reduced by 42.33%. This is a very good news. Certainly, there will be a lot of discussion about our city. But at the same time, how much do you think is the lack in this group survey? For the past few years, some FBI Data Councils of Criminal Justice have reported that there has been a decrease in crime rates everywhere in the country. For example, from 2019 to 2026, there was a 40% decrease. The surprising thing is that if there was a place where mass surveillance was not used, the crime rate would have been reduced in both places. So, to be honest, if there was not so much camera surveillance, the crime rate here would have been reduced by 40%. Of course, surveillance can do anything, but because the crime rate is reduced, mass surveillance does not mean that it will be controlled scientifically. I would like to say that our police is on a roll. Flock is on a roll. There is a search box called Flock in Freeform. From October 25 to January 26, Casa Grande has turned it on. It has logged 86 cases related to this. On December 9th, 2026, Damien Guerrero's last name was engraved here. He typed in the letters in the font and the hoodie with the black band in it and blocked it. After 13 seconds, he typed in the same thing without the native. It went straight. On October 27th, a Hispanic man who had tied his name with a tie and made his name Kashyap blocked his shirt, beanie, blue jeans, and backpack. That same day, he made the same statement without the word Menendez Hispanic. This is traditional profiling. I agree with my time.
Thank you. Okay. Is your name Michael Hahn? Excuse me, Michael. I know that you can do it. How do you know?
I am a resident. I know that. Okay.
The Pramuka Mass Surveillance Company says that its marketing materials can accurately identify 93% of license plates. On average, 93% of them seem to be correct, but only 7 out of every 100 cars that have been found to be wrong have been found to be correct. Those errors do not go unnoticed. The system is still investigating these details and keeping a close eye on its database. In addition, it can also be used as a tool to find out if something is wrong. 7% and 7% are not a problem for researchers. This means that people who are innocent may be connected to crimes that they have not committed. Last week, I walked through Paradis. I walked my dog for about 10 minutes on the road. I decided to start picking up cars. I picked up 127 cars that passed by me. Parish is one of the busiest roads in Casa Grande. So, let's do some math. 127 cars is 50, that's why we get 360 cars per hour. Or 5. Sorry, not 50, 5. Oh, that's why we get 635 cars. To be fair, we can count that number 20 with 20, because Paris is not always full. Oh, or maybe he is more full at other times. But when we get that, we get 12,700 cars. Therefore, only one road will have cars labeled as 889 wrong. But don't forget that there are more than one camera on the road. Oh, I'm Aviyum Enni. That's 16 cameras. So, 12,716 is 2,03,200 cars. That is, one day, one road has 14,224 cars labeled as wrong. The use of mass surveillance and caste violence has been portrayed as a public safety measure. One that can be used to investigate crimes and prevent them. But I think that it creates a tendency to investigate things that are before crimes and things that we don't even know about. This leads us to a question that we all have to answer. What is one thing that can be done to investigate crimes? When I think about that question, I can't help but think about the dystopian films created by societies that investigate and investigate people not because of the crime, but because of the law of nature. I think that those films are intended to explore a topic that is pleasant in nature, but now it seems a bit premature. We must pay attention to the methods in which we are starting to lead in that regard. Thank you.
Thank you, Michael. Okay, next is Adam Power. Hi, Adam.
Hello. Adam Power, Gas Grand. Oh, I had a speech ready. But everyone took a part from it. So I thought about what I should talk about. I thought about the name Umflok. I don't like that name. They want you to think about birds, but I'm thinking about another animal. Who am I in this picture? I don't know if I understand what it means. Yes, I don't really need a name. I have a desire. The reason is that I saw the announcement now. I thought there was no problem. I can give it a B. One thing. As you know, this is not bad in any way. But some things that I think can be understood by a doubtful mind avoided it. I have also listened to people who have doubts about this constitutional change, and I have heard a lot of language and information that stands out from the eyes. I don't think it's right to throw things away when you're on social media, and I don't think it's right to use violent language. I have seen some of the amazing observations made by some of the people here. The observation made by Jacob, again for the purposes of preparation, is amazing. Amazing. Oh, if one of my students had made it, I would have eaten my hat. Do you know? I think the observations are good. But what I like is an interview. And I call them up for an interview. I want to be there. I want to do it publicly. If I am wrong about something, I will learn something. If I am right, some people may have a different opinion. Thank you, Adam. Okay, and Jonathan Delmer.
Right? Hi, Jonathan.
Good night. My name is Jonathan Delmar. I am a resident of Casa Grande. And I have 15 years of physical security. For the past 20 years, I have spent 15 years in IT and digital forensics. So, I am very familiar with the various applications used. We provide civil and criminal treatment. I have actually handled three cases in which the details from the license plate readers were handed over to the prosecution. One of my greatest desires is to be able to use the information in a timely manner so that it can only be used by the prosecution. It's like Miranda. You have the right to keep quiet. Anything you say against the court will be used. So, anything you say to the police officer, even if it is beneficial to you, cannot be denied. This is a violation of the law. This is the same with all these inspection laws. I'm sorry to say this, but within 30 days, the police will be able to monitor one part of the Dadi who is arresting them. However, it is not always the case that the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, the release of the accused, At the time of the event, I have a strong desire to know more about archery, defense, and control. We are talking about cameras in schools. We are talking about cameras in parks. I don't think the computers in the capital of Casa Grande are in a state of data. They are in the computers of the flock. They are in the flock servers. They are there. They can use it to do what they want. I'm sure you have a career. I am sure that no one here has heard of a corporation doing anything against people's rights. When you put this in the middle, big companies are believed to be indisputable. For example, the local authorities that you speak to regularly said, I would like to say this to all of you, but a federal warrant is not in line with any of your requirements. So, if the federals come and say, we need all of your data, we will happily hand it over to you. You do not have access, protection, or control. No one in this room has access, protection, or control. So, it can't be saved, or it can't be used for other purposes, or if someone else can't see it, it's not your computer. It's theirs. They can do whatever they want. Thank you very much.
Jonathan and Morgan Power.
Hi, Morgan. Hi. I am here to talk about something that is not a flock. But, there is no problem, but there are good evenings, Mayor Fitzgibbons and other council members. I am Morgan Power, a resident of Casa Grande. I am a high school student at Mission Heights Prep, taking a dual-endowment class in the Kavith Veterinary Science program. My father, Adam Power, inspired me to talk about my own dreams. As you know, according to the Free Roam Act of the Constitution, community cats are considered to be non-existent in the animal control system, such as street cats and forest cats. It is not difficult to take cats to shelters and rescues. Now, if you put a plate of food out for a stray cat that you see around, it is now considered to be responsible for shelters. Even if you want to make sure that it is not poisonous. I understood the reason for the law. There is no place to take away each and every cat found in shelters and rescues. If you replace them or take them again. Now that there are no other cat colonies, more cats are starting to live on the streets. So, the best option is to run a TNR or proper Nutrition Retain program to reduce the number of cubs without encouraging new cubs to stay. I know that Casa Grande has a TNR program, but there are more cubs than the program can handle. So, there is a waiting list. My family has tried to fix these community cubs, but it cannot be done at the right time. I think there is a reasonable and possible solution for this. Instead of a TNR program for a whole city. To create more TNR programs even if it is small, local shelters and rescuers can access TNR more. I know that the economy is a big problem. That is why I suggest that the participation of cities and shelters in Tamil is the only way to develop a TNR program in the country. By developing the program, more facilities, facilities, workers, and certainly those workers will need to pay more expenses for the city. Other shelters and rescues will help the city to create more TNR facilities without taking all the expenses themselves. Finally, I appeal to the CET Council not to escape from the law. I understand that it is not right to need it. But instead of people complaining about the responsibility of using a bowl of food for a slightly blind cat tomorrow, I would like to support local shelters to create more TNR programs and get a little introduction to community cats. Thank you. Thank you.
Okay, Hamsa El-Baroudi. Okay, I must have cut off your last name, right?
Mayor, you did a great job. Thank you. Mayor, Council members, my name is Hamsa El-Baroud, Mesa, Arizona. Two, one by two months ago, you may have remembered me from the Moon Council meeting. Oh, I don't work in Flock now. That's why. It would be nice to be in this part of the Middle East. But I will share this. Oh, today in the speeches here, most of them will be about reading the plate incorrectly. That was demonstrated by Chief McGraw. To make sure that it is not happening, they said that they will review it again and again. We can talk about some single misuse. I felt that it was a dream that had never affected Casa Grande. Now let's talk about a number of major cases that have only been solved in the past few months, and the evidence that this can be reduced by the actions of your unreliable law enforcement agencies. I live in Maricopa County. I am raising a family there. I am moving to Maricopa County from Tekkan, Adirthi. I don't know how many people in this room know this, but 50% of the fentanyl that goes to the United States passes through Arizona. A Queen Creek resident and my 9-year-old son and my wife have been given the position of trick-or-treating in my family for the past year. We did it in our pocket. My wife and I, because we don't know what we're going to do. I would like to inform those who don't know that FLOC, Safety Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, has accepted it. FLOC doesn't sell data. That's all I've told you about traffic analytics. There are various companies that do traffic analytics. They also provide traffic analytics. FLO is not selling data. They are following the law that does not allow LPR companies to sell data. Two months ago, at a council meeting that I heard from the press court, a special case was filed against a vehicle stolen from Pinal County. Pradhi entered Phoenix. They took a child there and drove the vehicle through Flagstaff. Two weeks before that incident, their floor cameras were turned off. Then, months before that incident, their cameras were turned off through Sedona. Then, through Cottonwood, where their LPR cameras were operating, the stolen vehicle was hit. They arrested the child and brought her back to her family. This is the real consequence of not having a constitution like this. I strongly advocate that law enforcement agencies should provide the necessary services to protect our communities. If no action is taken, no one will have a say. We need to use one reason to create a record and one reason to conduct a trial. If that does not happen, it will be a data that will never be accessible to those who are quarantined within 30 days. This is not a crowd survey. There must be a reason for the law enforcement to conduct that survey. That's all for now. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Jack, forgive me. Forgive me, Jack. Can I say your last name?
Of course. Jack Lagomara.
Lagomara. Right. Good. Right.
So, this is it. This is about the Floke. So, oh, good night to everyone. I am happy to see everyone tonight. Your question is not whether the Floke will help the criminals. Of course, it will help the law enforcement officers. The most important question is how much the higher government should have the authority to inspect people who have committed a crime. What information can be provided to the public? What information can be collected? What information can be obtained? What can be selected? What information can be linked to the information? What information can be distributed? Who can access it? Who can accept it? How long can it last? What is the status of the audits? What happens when someone breaks the rules? What are the restrictions that prevent today's restrictions from becoming tomorrow's restrictions? This is more important than the safety of the people. These protections should not be completely restricted. It should also be clear that it is difficult for them to be implemented, and it should also be clear that it is difficult for them to be removed. This is about how the government and the public should have a relationship in a period of time when the Constitution makes it easier to observe than any other period in our history. The Constitution will continue to be passed. The campaign to gather more information will continue. Each new case will be a legal case. That is why we need to establish a sense of resistance. We should not imagine the government's power around the assumption that everyone who is involved in it will always be trustworthy. We need to imagine it around things that happen when they are not trustworthy one day. Thank you very much. Thank you, Jack. Okay, Jacob Petrovsky.
I'm sure you all know that I'm a resident now. Oh. Let's do the Cheap Study session together. Shall we? Page 4 says that users can't choose according to their sexual orientation. So, what does a woman wearing a long sweater mean? It happened more than once from October 2025 to January 2026. You can't choose according to your race. The Swadeshi woman is a Hispanic man. She blocked it because you didn't try to choose. On the sixth page of your agenda, you are saying that you are not sharing data with the ICU. Wrong. You did. On February 25, the world is saying that you are giving details to the ICU's enforcement and removal operations. These are your general opinions, not mine. On the seventh page, you are saying that you are not sharing data with the ICU. Right. There are more than one case in the world where there are zero case numbers and no fields. Now you can accept this. Good. I am proud of you. You did well. But what about all the cases that have happened before? Who is being punished? Page 3. Cameras are not recording audio. That may be right. But gunshot detectors do that. How else do they detect an explosion? Do they know that there is an explosion magically? They call it recording audio. So these instruments don't record audio. Oh, but you can't say that this instrument records audio. The fourth page says, Cameras don't have the ability to recognize faces. Flok's patent U.S. No. 11416545B1 states that taking face details from the footage of a camera is considered as a face recognition data point, and that other cameras are used to detect the person. Face recognition Those who say that we are not comfortable in public places, according to the Supreme Court Carpenters, do not use all fourth-party protection by going to the parliament. I am going to stop this for a moment. You are saying that we are getting information from Facebook and social media. I am an intelligent engineer. I have patents for intelligent thinking. I am creating the same things every day, throughout the day. So, what they tell you that they can do and what you get access to are two very different things. That's what happens to Thirushi later. The models I run at home are much stronger than the models I give to the public. That's how it works. If they agree, it's their data, not yours. So they can sell. They don't sell their own data. Because they sell their own data.
Thank you, Jacob. Okay, Barbara Sandhurst.
I'm Barbara Sandhurst. I live in Casa Grande. I don't talk about the goat herd. Last Thursday, I attended a meeting of a group of homeless people, and one of the things discussed in it was that homeless people should be open from 6 am to 10 pm, and there are not many homeless people going there. So, at least they can use it, the opinion was raised. So now these people cannot go anywhere. This is the problem for me. Where do they have to go after 10 o'clock in the morning? I am alone. They can stay there. I will take you there. There were some people who were trying. But they had to go out at 10 o'clock in the morning. The last monsoon storm that happened next was 12 o'clock in the afternoon and 1 o'clock at night. Where do these people get protection from? Then, like all other things, I understood that this was also a problem of money. But my thought is that if there is a particular opportunity, there should be some kind of funds to move the city somewhere. Therefore, I think that these people who live in cars and have no place to go to the front or the back of the shops will be like that. But instead of avoiding time from 6 in the morning to 10 in the afternoon, we can at least use the remaining money. So that people can sleep from 10 in the morning to 6 in the morning. Employees who are ready to stay there to sleep for those who do not have a home should be paid. I think we should try to reduce it. If things are not working from 6 am to 10 pm, we can somehow inform homeless people. I will share it with them in Laundry Love. That is an opportunity. But if we can test this on the last week of September, give time to spread the word. Continue to test it on the last week of September and the first week of October. If they know that they can do it there by 6 am in the morning, they will come and stay overnight. So, what I'm saying is to try another suggestion, to try something else. If it doesn't work, we have a whole year to see what we can do. But tell them to avoid it. Because they won't come there until 10 in the evening. That's why it's over now. Just try this possibility. Give me two weeks, try it, and get out of there. Thank you very much. Barbara, thank you.
Okay, Marco Cruz's speaker card. Hi, Marco.
Hello. Good evening, Mayor Fitzgibbons. Good evening, Council. I was here about a year ago to discuss the Floke contract. I didn't want you to approve the contract. It's been a year since then. Then, I'd like to talk a little about what I've learned after that. As soon as I got that approval, I signed a record agreement on my own vehicle. And I think we should use more authentic language. And I support Councilman Terman's humble statement that we need some respect and respect. I think it all started with people telling me what was happening on the road. And, when you had about 20 cameras in your hands, I submitted an application for a 30-day record in my car. I got 58 photos of my car back. They are not just photographs of my license plate. I don't have a color printer in my hand. But in these photos, there are photographs of me and my passengers. And all my places. You can input it in a CSV and map it. You may not know where I'm going. You can use it to see where I'm heading. I think this is the wrong way. What are we doing? We're spending $10 million on this car. After a long day of work, I see that I'm not working at 4 a.m. when I drive here at night. But every street has a host clamped camera. I come here for a CET Council meeting. There is a drone on top of my head. There is a pan-tilt zoom camera that monitors us. This is a chilling effect. This is not for entertainment. What you all are doing is not what the founding fathers of this country wanted. This is injustice. It must be stopped. Why do we pay you $10 million to monitor our every move and every day? If I do that to any one of you, I will be put behind bars. We can tell people the truth. This is not a systematic surveillance. This is a big surveillance. This is AI. This is machine learning. You are creating problems for everyone. We are going to use this for the construction of the sea and all other researches. Look at all these photographs. This is a 1-inch stack. This was when there were 20 cameras. What is going to happen now when there are 200 cameras? I haven't done this for 4 years. Will this be a sea-sail ship? Is that what we want in this country? To enjoy nature, to enjoy natural views, to enjoy the life of the Kashi village, we are going to Kasa Grand. I don't want to sit here. I want to rest at home. I don't want to waste my time by talking to everyone. You are all public figures. We don't agree with this malignancy. We should use this stupidity. Okay, was that the last comment I needed? Is there anyone else who wants to talk?
My name is John Brenner. I live in Casa Grande. My license plate is 55A55Y.
Now, I am paying attention to everyone. I am fully cooperating. Let me ask you, when will you understand that we are angry about this attack? Do we really have to come here as a pitchfork? Do we have to bring torches? When I hear a single brother saying, believe me, I get upset. I spent 16 years in web security. I know what's going on. I've been seeing this for 16 years in my life. This is a joke. We were embarrassed to be under surveillance all the time. If our founding fathers were here today, they would have tied you up in a tarp and run you out of town. That's not a threat. That's just a spectacle. I think you won't listen to what we say, so I can spend the rest of my time.
Okay. Is there anyone else? Sure. Again, if you can wait for a minute, we can catch him. You can give your name. If you live here in Casa Grande. Hi, my name is Austin Harmon. I live in Arizona City.
That is, I am not a resident, but as you can imagine, I have been spending a lot of time here. And a while ago, cameras were installed in the flow in Arizona City. Most of the people I talked to didn't know what it was. I had to look at the internet to find out what these cameras were. I only took six cameras to set up two boats. It was impossible to go out of my house without taking a photo like that. I know it's a difficult discussion. No one likes to hear about invisible children. We all need as many opportunities as we can to see people we love and care for. So I'm not here to talk about religion. I believe that people have the right to decide and decide for themselves. Most people don't know what these cameras can do, and most people don't decide whether it is acceptable or not. I appeal to the council. Please ask your constituents what they want in an official vote. They will tell you what they want. The second thing I haven't heard much about tonight is cyber security. We all know that there are many companies in the U.S. that take more data than ever in human history. Sometimes they do the right thing. Sometimes they don't. They get caught. They get caught. They move forward. We see that they are not protecting that data. It is being hacked. The people who want to use it for bad purposes take a lot of it. At present, FLOC security measures have not been implemented in Mitre and the Homeland Security Department. These are strict measures that allow a user to take control of the camera. You can see the live stream of the cameras. These measures have been implemented by the federal government to ensure FLOC's safety, but they have not been implemented because FLOC has not received permission to implement them. As long as the sale of goods continues, why should it be postponed? They are using software that has been used for a long time with patches that can be updated. But it is expensive, so they won't do that. If flocks are going to be used, I urge the council to make countermeasures. There should be a third-party audit of the security measures used in the system. How do they protect our data? Because when it becomes public data, when it becomes the data of the residents, it becomes a public security issue. The last thing we want to hear is that no one in this chamber wants anyone to enter the system, that the residents are not at home, that they find out when they are at home, and that they take action on the basis of that information. The last thing we want to hear is that the cases are being resolved because the cities are not protecting their citizens' data. We all like this area. We all want to protect everyone here. We will find a way to find out that situation. Thank you. Thank you, Austin. Okay. Is there anyone else? I think there is. Certainly. Come.
Can you tell me your name and that you live in Casa Grande?
Yes, I'm Grover Ramsey. I live here in Casa Grande. I don't mind if you're Dave Ramsey or Gordon Ramsey. Grover Ramsey. I didn't mean to talk to you today, but I was shocked to hear the noises coming from the paint gallery. Oh, I am Santa Claus. I want to take my picture. I want to take my picture. I need my safety in Casa Grande. Float camera cameras make me feel safe when I drive. I know that our police department is working to ensure the safety of me and my family. Protect my friends. Protect all of us. How many cameras are there in this room? Their doorbell camera or a camera on top of the garage door to protect themselves? That is the goal of all of this, safety. When you think about it, the majority of people want safety. You saw it in your survey. The society wants that, safety. Floke is helping our police department to provide that security. Security, security, security. That is the aim of all this. Thank you for your time.
Brover, is there anyone else? Okay. Mayor, record in I, madam. Oh, wait. There is one person. There are two more people. I think so. If you give us your name, you are staying here in Casa Grande.
I am Leah Kaiser and I am staying here in Casa Grande. Since Floq is protected by the data cloud, it cannot be guaranteed that it will not be hacked. AI is also exploiting more resources. Therefore, it is harming the innocent. Security is important. And you said that it is your wish that people don't believe in the government. This reminds me that I can't believe in my government when I drive a car with a camera on the floor. We have a president who has a lot of resistance from Akshaya. The Federal Law Enforcement Agency can send a summons to him. This is harming our common people. Even those who are here legally trying to do everything right. Let's make liberals and the Democratic Party in trouble. Because he feels he wants to make them more dangerous. The Cambridge Analytica Facebook data was hacked. He deleted it without our permission. They used it to destroy our country's corrupt social economy. Our president said that we have a contract with them on the ground. He gave them money to do that for us. Our license plate is sent to the data cloud by conducting an anonymous inspection in our city. Our data increases the possibility of being used against us. Thank you, Diane. Um, did I know? Go ahead. There's one more here.
That's why I paid attention to everyone here.
Can you give us your name? Are you still staying here in Casa Grande? I'm going to the 5th floor.
I'm sure your flock cameras will recognize me before the end of the night. Okay. At that time, I hear a lot of discussions about good and bad things, right? Everyone wants to be safe. When they go to sleep at night, no one wants to be attacked or scared. Oh, but that's a bad thing. When good people are angry, good things happen. But we all know that good people are not always angry. When bad people are in power, bad things will happen. It is a vicious cycle. So, you have to do this experiment for a short time. Here in the states, this is new to us. But this is happening elsewhere for a long time. I have heard you say you want to listen. You went to a program where we told you that listening is important. So, I think it is important to pay attention to the people here tonight. If we want to learn and see what this system is doing to other places, we don't have to look much further than Communist China. They have a long-term facial mask inspection system. You have to ask yourself whether people will benefit from it or not. I will tell you that the people of China are not happy and that they have not benefited from it. This is definitely beneficial for those who conduct surveys. But the people in the inspection did not benefit from it. Then it is a very dangerous creature or it can be a very good thing, right? It can go through both ways. But I don't think there are any mechanisms in it. There are no mechanisms. We can say that guardrails have been installed. But how many times have we crossed the guardrails, right? We know that it will happen. It will happen in the future. It has happened and history repeats itself, right? Then it can be you, not you. I don't think I'm trying to bring it down. But look at what's happening in the China's face recognition program. Is that what we need in this country? I'm sorry I was born. I may be a little emotional. But I was born in 1956. I'm sorry. I was born in a country of brave and independent people. When I die, I hope my children will still be able to live in an independent country. I hope you have the courage to show 180% courage in this matter and to shut down this system before the administration leaves. We live in America. This is one of the world's largest countries. I am happy to be here. I am happy to have this opportunity to talk about this. I hope the people behind me are paying attention to what I'm saying. Look at China. Was this system good or bad for them? When they use it, will it increase or increase for them? The reason is that we're going there. That's the problem. If we want to conduct this group survey, it's a license plate reader or it's a direct group survey, isn't it? We're people. Is it good or bad for us? I think it's not good. I want to see it closed. I want you to see it closed. I expect you to be brave like me in the land of freedom. That's all I have to say. Thank you for your time. Okay, I have a letter from Larry Reid. I think Larry hasn't spoken before. He spoke. Oh, he spoke.
Okay, sorry, Larry. There's a letter from Timothy Ball. Yes. Okay. Okay. Timothy is not here, right? He will be here in minutes. Okay. Then you will take minutes. Okay. Okay. Is there anyone else before ending the general comments? Okay. We will go ahead and end the general comments. Thank you all again for coming here and talking. Okay. The next person in the agenda is the same person. I think it is Dwayne. Thank you, Mayor.
The Mayor, CET Council, Florence Boulevard, and Treacle Road Project, who are the staff representatives, have signed a contract for a $1,655,548 loan for construction management services for the Treacle Road Project. The design, construction management services, and the benefits of these services have been announced by Grande Nagaram. After one sale, Horrocks was selected as one of the two most suitable establishments for construction management services for Treccle Road and Florence Boulevard projects. Horrocks' Dan Devor P. works as a project manager. Throughout the project delivery, he acts as a supervisor for the city residents. Project administration, construction schedule inspection, project meetings, city, contractor, consultants, and other project members are included in the scope of this job. Construction operations, approved project plans, specifications, and strict standards are included in the 30-part third-party inspection service to ensure that they are running. What other questions do you have?
Okay, do you have any questions? No, we don't have any questions. Okay, if we get a resolution number, please let us know.
Resolution No. 59067, for construction management services for Florence Boulevard and Treacle Road Project, approval of instructions for professional services from Horrocks LLC, approval of spending of general funds, approval of running a purchase order with Horrocks LLC is the recommendation of the Casa Grande Council of Arizona.
Like Mayor Fitzgerald said, I'm going to accept the 5,967th issue. The second one. Okay, there's a second issue and a second one.
Is there more discussion? Okay, it's decided. Go ahead, Bob.
So, I think we all have an idea of what the last film will be like. But Dwayne, can you quickly explain what this project is? This is the track and the Florence boulevard. We are going to build a new traffic signal and a road that runs north and south along the Florence boulevard and a road that runs north and south along the Florence boulevard. That's the basic project. Okay. Thank you. I am fine. Okay.
Okay. If we get a roll call vote, it will be great. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, it was a quick agenda. Our general opinions were a bit long. But that's good. We are happy that everyone was here. And we can start using reports. I know that everyone gave an update from the League of Cities and Towns conference. But is there anyone else who would like to report? No, I only wanted the League of Cities.
League of Cities, Bob. There is no Bengali report.
For me? I have two things.
Okay, then. I was looking at my calendar to make the dates right. I had a problem with it the next day. So, September 26, at P.S. Park, it's 9 by 11 P.M. To participate in that, you and your group can sign up online through the city's website. So, if you want to help, we welcome youth groups, youth groups, or individuals. There are all kinds of projects. There are projects inside and outside the house. So, for you, 1. If they are not interested in going out in the heat, they have indoor projects. 2.
Then, this would be a great event. 3. This is on the day of 9 by 11. But it was 9 by 26, the actual day of it. 4. I understood why. 5. The football teams may be there because of the travel schedule. 6. Because everyone asked me that. 7. On October 3, the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Casa Grande, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 3 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 5 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 5 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 5 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 5 p.m. at Karmakunath Park in Pulaccha, from 5 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening until 5 o'clock in the evening
Okay, thank you.
Yes, Seeds of Hope, Bubble Run, Vashika Bubble Run, this is coming, September 12th. This is Villago Park. Even though it's a park, the race day registration starts at 6 in the morning and ends at 30 minutes. At 7 in the morning and ends at 30 minutes, the 5K race starts. At 7 in the morning and ends at 40 minutes, the 1K fun race starts. At 8 in the morning and ends at 8 in the morning and ends at 30 minutes. That's the Villago Park in the morning. Okay. Okay, thank you.
Kasa Grand Elementary School District only has the student council this week. So, from 10th to 6pm, 15 minutes to 8am, the 11th day is the full day. So, if you have kids at school, make sure you go there and talk to their teachers. We always like families to be there. Okay, thank you. And okay, a few things. I know that I had gone to the Tharakkal Lidl for Merit, Marketplace and Residences.
It will be a market place with an old man who is over 55 years old. Cottonwood and Birch. Yes, if you all remember, this is a religious use. They will have a sale at the bottom floor. So there is a need for it. They will run their parade and it will go ahead of their first step. And last week, Serrano was added to the Neiman Park statue. Yes, that's why. If you haven't been there yet, please check it out. To all of us who grew up here, please remember one thing. Some of you were young. You may not remember this Serrano store, but some of us may remember it. Sir, I am an old Cub Scout here.
The things there. I know, right? Hey, I got my first pair of Wranglers there.
That's why I remember it well. That's why, yes, that's right, it's really exciting. Of course, it was the 5th station of the Grandestation. It was very good. Jesus Ramos, who is one of the Ramos in our country, is going to have a big fight in San Diego on September 19th. He is the interim WBC middleweight champion, so this struggle will have to be stopped. So we all praise Jesus Ramos. So it was very important to go to the gym and test it out. That person has a strong swing, that's for sure. So I want to be on his side or test it out with him. But on September 18, Chamber of Commerce is running a lunch out for their business. In the name of the City Council and the city, I will give an update on everything that is happening. So, if anyone wants to participate, it will be in the property. It is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. September 25 is the Hispanic Heritage Month. So, Casa Grande Main Street and the Latino Family Initiative Arts and Culture Commission are going to host the celebration for the first time. Aagosham! To celebrate the Hispanic Heritage Month in downtown, they will have arts, crafts, fairs, fairs and celebrations. Then, on September 25, evening. Then, small activities. This is the year when things are going on. A lot of exciting things are going on. Then, I think I have completed it. Even if it's something else from the council. Okay, then let's move on and change the meeting. Thank you all for coming.
