“Questions? If I could, is it possible... I appreciate your explanation, but it was a very short explanation for such a big item. So is there, like, presentation that we're going to have uh is there i i don't know from the do you want sheriff's office or is yeah that i think at least that would because i think part of what's happening is that we're i mean i've read it and we've talked about it but i also think maybe some of the comments are because people don't understand it uh i had originally asked if this would go to a committee of the whole, and I still am going to put it on the committee…”

“And if I could interject, first of all, I just make comments. Obviously, I have great respect for our policing unit, sheriff's department, sorry. And we all know public safety is number one in our community. And David, thank you for, Vice President Greenwell, thank you for coming out this evening. Where I'm struggling here just a little bit, and I do respect the opinions of both our manager and our sheriff's office is I wish we would have these conversations with full-on presentations at the Committee of the Whole or during the budget hearing so that we can better understand. I can read the…”

“I'm in agreement. I would be comfortable with that, especially now that I'm learning it's not going to actually impact this year's budget. So we'll get a very clear presentation. We'll be able to read it. That would be now, right? Is it July? July. If you're able to put something together for next week and then September we could have the item back in front of us.”

“A quick question, and this is for the maker of the item. I know you worked with the attorney. So here's where I have some concerns. And I will say, first of all, thank you all for coming out. Appreciate having you out. I was very pleased to be able to recognize Ede through proclamation. It was probably like three months ago. I see there's a whole list of exclusions, and here's my actual concern. nothing to do with the reason you're here, just specifically to the words on the paper that I'm reading. It says exclusions, and I really feel like this is putting some kind of unnecessary weight on a…”

“Well, if this was a simple item that just said treat everybody equally and if a request is submitted, go ahead and place it on or treat all religions equally, I would be kind of supportive of it. You've outlined like a whole administrative process and decisions that I don't know that I want the manager having to make. I think we're creating a process that I think eventually somebody is going to sue the city and say, hey, I didn't get a report. I didn't get a written denial. I didn't this. I didn't that. And I think it's just, for me, it seems extremely complicated.”
