“All right. So first, I want to thank all of my fellow technologists for being here. I don't think we've had a technologist in the audience for, gosh, at least as long as I can remember. I myself, I've been in the Department of Defense world for 40 years now, primarily dealing with nuclear weapons and cybersecurity. That's what my company does. And so I get it, I understand some of the concerns. I won't get into some of the deep technical stuff, because we'll really bore the heck out of a lot of people, and I'm sure you know that. So I wanted to express that first. Also, just one thing that…”

“But we audit a minimum of 90 days, which means that we're Auditing less. Yes. We're auditing more frequently is what you're saying. Okay. Specifically who, and I'm talking about like by job description or by job title, specifically who conducts that audit? Dre and her team.”

“Okay. So I'm going to ask that we stipulate a timeframe, which is no longer than 90 days, right? I mean, I would personally prefer 30 days, but let's do it practical, right? Okay. So by job title, then the director of the, I just forgot what it's called, does the audit. You do the audit.”

“Okay. What specific positions in EGPD are provided access? So can a motor officer look in? Can a, I don't know, name, I mean, I don't know, can someone from, and I use this, I don't use this jokingly, but the animal services are within the police department. Can animal services look at these, specifically which positions are allowed to look?”

“No, what I'm asking about is when the software changes or when data writes something in the contract, right, is when something changes. Just like the EULA on your phone.”

“Right. So that's whenever there is a change or a software update that has a change determined conditions, it is reviewed. Yes. Okay. And again, I know the answers to these questions. I'm only asking them once again so I can foot stomp. Let's see. When... When the software is installed, and I'm going to say this is more of a statement than a question because I've read about it, at installation, the default sharing is set to none. What that means is, for those of you with least privilege, you understand that It's kind of like Linux where you install Linux and you have to grant permissions,…”

“Yes, I thought I had this answer, but I didn't see it in the staff report, so I hope I don't get it wrong. This has, what is the length of time that this moratorium is?”

“uh for a more term like this okay do we have a guesstimate on when we intend to bring it back i mean i i don't want to have a moratorium forever while we study it um so is there some length of time you think it'll come back”
City Council · Aug 26, 2026

“Okay. I just want to be certain that we... While we're putting thought into it, that this doesn't become an endless moratorium where we're not actually doing the work of studying, right? So I have a little bit of concerns about doing this indefinitely. I'd rather have some time frame put on it. So I've changed. I probably will not be able to support this today because I don't have a time frame. Okay?”

“And so thank you, Council Member Soon. I appreciate your meeting in the middle there. I can support the two years. I don't mind the renewing once, you know, if we do it for a year and then renew. But what's nice about doing the two years is that we don't have to have another action, another item. So I can certainly support the two years, and I certainly appreciate the – my concern is just to put in a moratorium which could – sit endlessly without resolution, right?”

“Okay, first, thanks for the Ricola, appreciate it. It stopped me from doing a lot of coughing up here. I had to acknowledge the gift of a Ricola, right? Second, I wanted to, first of all, thank you very much, particularly in the, you know, noting the diversification of the portfolio, right? I mean, I am absolutely no expert in finance, but one of the things that I recognize that as, you know, being, trying to be conservative and be a good steward of of our finances that diversification is one of those hedges against being all in one type of investment. And so I appreciate that. It's important…”

“All right, thank you, Chief. Thank you, Lieutenant Williams. I appreciate it. Thanks for the presentation. Yeah, so I'm supportive. One of the things that I've, and maybe it's just observation of when I've been out, but I've seen, I feel as though I have seen more people recently within the last six months, a year, maybe since COVID. I don't know exactly what the timeframe is, but there appear to be more people running stop signs, running street lights. And sometimes it just astounds me that they just blow right through. And so I think these particular cameras are very helpful. Personally, I…”
