“Any other questions from council or anything? So my quick thing, so it already sounds like we're already moving to October 13th to get this looked at. My question is, are we, because I'm looking at the staff report, Measure P hasn't even seen this yet. It hasn't gone in front of me. So is your... is there a presentation scheduled for them to even review this? Because it says it's going to be presented to them for their recommendations. It sounds like are we jumping the gun on this one?”

“Understood. I just want to be respectful to our Measure P committee because we're talking about a lot of critical and expensive items here tonight. And I want to make sure they have a bite of the apple of this. Ideally, they have the bite of the apple before it actually comes in front of us. But the other key issue is, is the meet and confer going to be completed by the 13th? I have a question.”

“AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTERS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS? EVEN THOUGH THEY SPOKE AT THE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM, ARE THERE ANY LAST SECONDS THAT WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS AS THE ITEM 8.6?”

“So I'm just looking to the city attorney. Do we need to listen? If they spoke on this previously, then does that qualify for speaking as 8.6 now? No.”

“And at this point, the fact it's past midnight right here, I want to acknowledge that we still have four directors that are still, or four staff members that are here to present on the other consent calendar items. And looking at what I consider, and I'll take the executive decision on this one, I'd like to see if we can take a look at 8.5, which is 8J, which is with Chief Golding being here, for a 10,000, which is a step two of two. And I'm assuming this would be a very short, If anything, conversation, so if we can get Chief Golding, because this, I mean, the money number is short, and it's…”

“And there's been a suggestion that we just power through and get the rest of these out of respect to everyone still being here. Well, we have these action items that need to get done before we get to community forum. And so we're going to power through this, and hopefully we can get this all done. I'm looking at item 8G, which would be 8.2. Is that the higher priorities since this is an agency issue? Is there a time frame or deadline that's associated with this? There's no time frame on this one? Okay. Is this a short presentation and a short conversation? Okay. So let's go. Okay. It's…”

“Hold on, I have a question. Oh. So, and I know it's 1230, but when you presented this, you mentioned funding for Measure P on this, and nowhere in the staff report is that reflected. So are we, is this going to be coming from Measure P, or is this from?”

“So I'm turning to the city attorney to find out. Do we just make a friendly amendment to this as saying the funding's coming from Measure P? Or how does that accurately reflect for what we're doing tonight?”
