“OK. Are there other filling stations with that name, charge up 24? I've not heard that before. And I'm a little concerned about the quality of the gas. Would that?”

“So are there other charge up 24 stations that you know of anywhere? And I did go to the property the other day just to look at the site, and I did notice that the parking lot was in disrepair. And if we were to approve the SUP, I think we should make that a condition of the SUP to correct that parking lot, make it like new.”

“First of all, I want to say how happy I am to have you servicing our waste. You've been a great company, and I appreciate everything you do for the city. Thank you. The last time we discussed this, there was not going to be an option for a twice-a-week pickup, but I see now there is that option.”

“That's no longer a problem if we go with the twice a week pickup. Those bulky receptacles are so huge. They're both that large. I wonder how people will be able to fit those in their garages to not be ... The code enforcement requires you to not have them in sight. I wonder if your trucks wouldn't work with a smaller receptacle, would they? They would. Oh, they would?”

“So my situation might be a little unique, but I really like working in the yard. I have a lot of flower beds, and I just tend to collect weeds and maybe shrub clippings and all that just as time goes by in those big black plastic bags. So if it was a bulk brush pickup day, if I had a black plastic bag that only had brush in it, would that get picked up?”

“I believe I'm correct in saying this. When you said that Governor Abbott put a moratorium on them, I believe what he put a moratorium on was cities being able to use state funds to pay for them.”

“I've been keeping myself informed about this subject and reading every article I can get my hands on. And a week or two ago, the CEO of Flock Systems, which is the name of the company, has put in three new guardrails, one of which is the 30-day is going down to seven days as of January 1st. So that company itself is putting in three really strict guardrails that will go into effect on January 7th to make that data less accessible and safer for all of us.”

“And I would like to make one other point. And I preach this all the time about voting. And people don't understand. When they live in a city, local decisions affect their everyday lives. And this is a perfect example of an issue that is local. local decision was made for us to have these flock cameras so no matter what position you take on the issue you should understand anybody watching this if you don't vote this is an example of why you should and I'm not saying you should vote before or against flock cameras i'm saying please understand voting is so important at the local level we had…”
