“Yeah, and I know that this specific fund is very restrictive, like even how you shared the example of there could be very limited improvements to the home, right? Because I know that there was some homes that I was looking at just to try to understand the program even further. There's homes that are listed for $150,000, $200,000, but they don't have anything inside the home pretty much. It's just the actual structure itself. So I know that there's very limitations of how to essentially be able to be part of this program as well. I know that we also had a, I mean, I'm grateful that you reached…”

“I'm grateful for the different questions that have been asked, and thank you, Chief, for always having that open communication. I know that I've asked numerous questions for the past year. I think it's also important to highlight that we're only talking about city right of way. There's multiple other devices that are installed in other areas, like Home Depot, for example, that we have absolutely no jurisdiction over, right? Correct. And I'm also grateful for the different concerns that were shared by the council in regards to ensuring that there's guardrails and protections for our community.…”

“On the 4th. And I know that the question was asked of what is the determination or definition when a commercially reasonable time period, and I know that that's a trick question, but is there statute or any determination as to when an equipment can become abandoned?”

“Okay. Yeah, I think it would be good to look at what we could determine as an abandoned, right? The reason I ask this is because, say that 60 days pass and then we start removing the equipment, what happens with the equipment? Do we take possession of that equipment? What are the next steps? Or do we turn that equipment back to flock? I'm curious to know as to what are we going to be doing with that equipment and what liability do we have when we start removing this equipment?”

“Okay, yeah, I think I really want to understand that definition of the time period, and I know that it's very difficult to make that determination, but I do think that if 60 days pass and say that we weren't able to remove them, but a year passed, at what time period are we saying they've abandoned their equipment and now they belong to the city? It's like when you have a lease, right, and you're renting something to an individual and you're using your property, you could give them a notice to vacate within a certain time period, otherwise they really abandon their property. Okay, I have no…”
