“So we've been talking about this for the last six months now, and I think there's been a lot of Heartburn and anxiety from the public on flock and overall I do feel that the the police department we went through one of the simulations about six months ago on how flock was being used and the guardrails that the police department put in and how 50 people had access to flock overall so In the time that we've been using Flock, I don't think there's been an egregious situation where people that shouldn't have been accessing the system came in and did something, right, Chief? Correct. Okay. And so…”

“Representative Acevedo. Thank you, Mayor. I think what's also kind of added to the confusion here is that it doesn't really say what happened. There's deficiencies, there's something that they reached out, cure process, but We're not really addressing what what happened and and I think this has kind of led to more people asking questions because we're not giving the best answers and I remember at least one other time that we were in this position and The PowerPoint the backup didn't say anything. It kind of just said the losses we could do this So we're doing this right and so I would just…”

And so our Lincoln Park Conservation Committee has done an outstanding job for many, many years at the park, whether it's cleaning it up,…”

“Thank you. And I just wanted to say, you know, I really appreciate Hector really bringing this up on economic development and how that contributes to our community. Hotel rooms get filled for many different events that happen throughout the park So that's really important and just to also harp on the process a little bit more It takes 50 signatures from people that live one mile from the park, the radius has to be a mile. So that was a challenge within itself, because we, like you were saying, you had thousands of signatures and that was community wide, but it had to be within that one mile…”
