“I actually think the concern is that Vice Mayor Laidout is well founded. I mean, if there's not much of a will to change it, I'm fine with it. But I think it's a fair concern. I would be happy to see how this plays out maybe at a smaller number, but I don't feel overwhelmingly strongly if that's not clear.”

“I don't want to speak over you, Vice Mayor, but I agree with you. I mean, I think, look, honestly, I don't find this one particularly close. I would be willing to go with the whole thing, but I'm okay with the 407 that the Vice Mayor proposed, and I'll tell you why. These fines, yeah, but yeah. I mean, these fines are not, I don't view it as punitive. I appreciate the comments from Councilman McDonald, but I don't view it as punitive. I view these as essential to our neighborhoods. They were neighbors who were affected. These things have to be upheld. They're critical to the quality of life…”

“I mean, I just want to, I'm sorry. No, go ahead. I don't believe there's a plausible, the concern that you raised, Council Member McDonnell, is about notice and whether there's a risk to us is fair. I don't think there's a plausible notice claim. I find it unfathomable. But to me, and I don't know, maybe this is a question for Mitch or for somebody, I don't If there's a risk that the homeowner is going to look at this and say, I didn't have notice. I'll see you in court. Well, I don't want to mitigate this thing. I mean, I would do the mitigation to 407. If we're going to give them the…”

“Yeah, I mean, I would do that. I mean, I don't, I would, if we can do that legally, sure. I mean, I would have a mitigation condition on a release. I don't want to mitigate $180,000.”

“Yeah, I mean, I would want to do that. And again, I'm not trying to make this adversarial, but I'm not hearing that from, this isn't, they're not up there waving the saber and saying that, but if there is any risk, sure, if we're going to mitigate $180,000, I would suggest we do it on the condition of a release.”

“I just had a question. I think this is great. And I, of course, defer to the chief's recommendation on this. In the earlier iteration, it was all on Ludlum. So I know that to the extent the word was shared about this, it would be, hey, we're putting cameras in on Ludlum. Obviously, this changes it a bit, but is the plan, can you just remind me what the plan is when these are deployed? Is there gonna be an announcement, hey, we're putting cameras here?”

“I mean, I think I support doing the study. I think we'll have time once we have the study to make decisions about what to do with it. But I think we need the information. This goes to the point that it's that from, I guess, a number of us have been beating, but about we need to be concerned about what happens. Look, this may be something we need to do anyway, but especially something we need to be concerned about what happens if this ridiculous expansion of the homestead exemption passes. And there's still a very real chance, even though all of its proponents, the rats, have fled the ship…”
