“Okay. So let me just look at my notes here again. I think the other thing, too, is we hear a lot about the technology helping officers, which I believe that it does, and I think that there's a great value in some of these things. Like I said, I like crime fighting tools. But with, and I'm not talking about drones or anything like that at this point, I'm just talking about LPRs. Have they made it so that our patrol shifts are now over minimums?”

“Okay. And we do hear a lot about how officers are taking more calls. Are we taking report calls every time a drone goes up? Like a separate report call?”

“Well, when you go to count your stats, is that one call considered Like if you have a burglary call and then you initiate a drone, is that considered two report numbers?”

“Okay. Okay, let's see. And then I do want to just kind of clear up that body cams are not the same as LPRs. Body cams are a great tool for officers for their safety. They're a great tool for our citizens for their safety. I think that they serve a really good purpose. But they're turned on during a crime, traffic stops, things like that. They're not just stationary on a pole collecting data. So it is a very different thing. For me, I'm not ready to vote on this tonight. I would like to do whatever we need to do to secure whatever the drone thing is that you need. I don't know that we can do…”

“Mr. Mayor, I have some Final comments during discussion. I just want to address a couple of things that were said. I feel like because the LPR thing has come up pretty recently that it would have been more beneficial for us to decide if we wanted to continue that program before entering into another contract with another company. Originally, I thought the same thing I had brought it up during budget whether or not we could switch companies and whether or not that would make a difference As they continue to do research, I don't think it's gonna make a difference about the concerns that I have…”

“I move that we approve case number SSP260000001. Second.”

“I was just going to say the funny thing is that In the last administration, there was a council member and I who did talk about it because we did think it was important, but we couldn't get it on the agenda. So there was no way to discuss it. So I appreciate you bringing it up. I appreciate some of the changes that were made and legal going through. I thought the original copy was a little broad. So I think this helps a lot with putting the specifics in there. I don't think they that I've heard the mayor talk about this even before he took office that he thought council should also have that…”

“We had our first mayor's youth Advisory Council meeting for this year of which there were So many kids there. It seemed like most of them were from Caldwell High School, but there were some Valley View kids there, too. Gino, Jessica, and Annette are putting this on now. They did a very good job. There was a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. And from what I heard in the meeting, it sounds like they're also inviting our former mayor, now Colas, to come back and advise, since that was originally his program, I believe, that he started it or founded it, so that was super exciting. And then…”

“Thank you for coming. I know this is very scary sometimes. You finally said it and I was waiting for you to say it. I think this is more than about money It's more about having a seat at the table and being able to have those discussions So I want to talk about that a little bit because they think you're very well aware that we the money we have is the money We have we can't pull money out of thin air, right? Regardless if we allow negotiations or not correct what I would encourage my fellow councillors It was not very long ago that we sat down with the fire department for half a day and…”

“But we have a contract that requires them to stay with the police department for so long. Is that correct?”

“So that would be another thing that we would want to talk about if we had a workshop. I know years ago we had an officer that got hired, quit, got hired, quit, got hired, quit. And it is very expensive. And so I think we did institute a contract at some point. So I don't know. if that went away, but I think it was to protect from those things.”

“So those are the kinds of things, too, that a collective bargaining outfit can Talk about right. So those are the kind it's not just about your pay and I don't want to get it focused just on that because then it becomes Sort of an impossible conversation, but there's all these other things that you could do But I think having a seat at the table is one of those things that the police department has never had and that's coming from somebody who's worked at an agency without collective bargaining and an agency with collective bargaining and it makes a big difference and”

“The other thing I think it's important to point out is that during this process, you can build in protections such as no-strike policies, that if you can't come to an agreement, you're going to work off your prior contract. You may have to give something up to get something more. That's absolutely correct. Right. So it's not just about coming in and saying, we want this much money per hour. It's about you coming in and negotiating, too.”

“And the fire department gets that, and I've always thought it was unfair that the police department didn't. And I'll tell you that when my husband was hired at Caldwell Police, I believe he was hired at $17.17 an hour. And when I went to dispatch at Napa Police, I was making more than him to start, and I was probably making $10 more than him when he died. And that, to me, seems insane to try to rectify. So, again, money is money. We cannot make it come out thin air however we are consistently asking our first responders and public safety both police and fire to do more with less and they feel…”

“So that would be what I would ask our council to do. And I guess something they would have to either nod and say they would be willing to show up or not, and then the mayor would have to probably come together with you to get a date and time and all that kind of stuff.”
