“Yeah, so I think your motion wasn't to, your motion was not to approve an ordinance, it was to direct them to craft the ordinance, right? Okay. And that was for what date again? Okay.”

“I just want to make sure that because it you know, obviously, the program as it as it stands is going to be scrapped. And we're gonna, you know, we're doing a lot of reforms. And are we getting are we incorporating because I'd like a lot of what Mayor Browse keys, you know, changes, are we going to be those are incorporated in kind of what we're doing here? Is that a fair statement? My other question, just my colleagues to make sure just we've considered this, but The, have we, do we feel comfortable about who owns the data as far as this, what we're, I know that we own it, but I mean as far…”

“I just, the incentive for the vendors to keep a copy of the data is just so enormous, what they could do with it and how they could commodify it or commoditize it. And I think just really, I think that's safeguard. I think we're kind of talking about that. The, you know, one thing that I think about is maybe we have this, but an audit log that can't be edited. Maybe that's kind of part of what we're talking about and because you can go in there and you can say I did this and then you can go back and change an audit. And so I think a non-editable audit log would be a very important safeguard.…”

“Yeah, okay. And I want to make sure some of that is in there. Also, maybe the last thing is, are we comfortable with who we're sharing this with? Because it's like we own the data, but then we have people that use it. We have AI or whatever it is, and then you... or it also gets shared with other entities. And so closing the sharing list, I just want to make sure that's sort of part of what we're doing here too. So, and I can say more about that if you want more clarity, but it's name the agencies that we may share with, limit them to Arizona or to shortlist for council once. So I think, and…”

“That's OK. Sure. I was referred to, so I'll make a quick remark. And I just want to defend Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield and her service. Like the three times the most popular, most the person, nobody has gotten more elect votes in Scottsdale's history. Her service has been memorable. Kathy Littlefield sets the standard for defending residents' quality of life, watching their tax dollars, genuinely caring for them.”

“Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to invite people to the Eldorado. I wasn't caught off guard. I thought we were going to switch over. But there's the Eldorado Park Improvements Community Meeting, 5.30 p.m. tomorrow at Eldorado Park Community Center near Miller and Oak. And I hope to see you there.”

“Mayor, thank you. I just wanted to congratulate the city for moving forward with Bond Project 62. We're finishing the bridge. I'm not going to say bridge to nowhere because this bridge goes somewhere. We all know where it goes. Build a bridge on Thompson Peak Parkway over Rialto Pass Wash. Anybody who's been in that area knows that it got this kind of weird swerve. How many years was that? I mean, probably 20 years or... So this is, and also this was a 2019 bond project. So that was a factor for a lot of people in that DC Ranch, Pima Acres, Wingate, you know, those neighborhoods in that bond…”

“Mayor, thank you. So I support looking at this sooner than later. I generally am in opposition to it. I guess my question is, is this gonna be a work, do you envision this to be a work study or an actual agenda item? Because I have some comments about either or.”

“So here's the thing is that like we could do a work study, maybe not. What that would look like is we would, you know, we'd actually get a presentation from our public safety about what they actually do. We could hear from all the stakeholders and we could discuss the risks of abuse. We could discuss what safeguards do we have now? What limits do we have now? The last speaker was like, oh, we're putting them on garbage cans and this and that. Well, is there some sort of containment? And then we can also discuss ordinances in a work study that we want to say, hey, we want to do these things.…”

“Mayor, can I just, may I ask you a question then? Sure. So my question would be, we come here on October 6th and we say, yeah, we hate Flock, you're gone. But then we haven't had the time to like deliberate and say like, well, the next council replaces them with something, you know, way worse. And we don't have any ordinances that stop Flock. We don't have criminal penalties for abuse of flock footage. We don't have limits on what could have been added to the ALPR to stuff beyond it. We don't have that information to just come here and vote on something. I'm ready to take action, but I want…”
