“Neither am I, Mayor. So let me just follow up. If the clerk can pull up the actual ARF, the very first page. So I know that we have a really good IT department.

Number two, it was on our agenda on the 5th of February, 2025.”

That's all. If it had just had included law enforcement, then I wouldn't have had to ask the question.”
