“Yeah, and hopefully this will be very brief. I don't need a presentation. I'm very familiar with the Axon contract. My question is more globally with the police budget, and maybe this isn't necessarily for you, but for the city manager. I just want a guarantee, you know, because since the council had voted that we were going to hold the funding for the flock cameras until we have the group meeting, which is I think this Thursday between the POAC and the SOB to give us recommendations, I just want to make sure that there's no shell game happening and money is being moved around to make sure…”

“Okay, so if the joint meeting that's happening on Thursday were to come back, that we are gonna move forward with FLOC, then you'd have to come back and get funding for that FLOC camera, right, because there's not funding for FLOC? Yes, that's correct. Okay, thank you. That's all I need to know.”

“Yeah. I'm just wondering, because I agree with all the comments that have been made. I agree that, you know, option three is probably the safest bet. But can we look at phasing some of, the main building can we can we look at phasing and doing just the first you know build out all three stories but don't you know build like you said build the shelf for three maybe build the shelf for one and compact things on on the first floor until the police department grows to the optimal 200 or whatever it gets and then we start expanding and finishing spaces and see what we truly need i think building…”

“Because honestly, like what Council Member Latouche was saying, the $6 million in savings for all the finishes and things is not the problem. That $6 million is nothing compared to the $180 million that this project is. I would rather spend a few more million and redesign and plan down for what we can afford versus trying to scrap this or do something totally different or try to fund this entire project.”

“THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I WANT TO JUST QUICKLY TALK ABOUT, JUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S CLARITY. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A TOWN HALL, THAT'S A SEPARATE MEETING FROM THIS COUNCIL MEETING UPDATE. IS THAT CORRECT, CHIEF?”

“OKAY. SO I THINK WHERE THE CONFUSION IS, AT LEAST WHEN WE MAYBE CORRECT ME, THE REST OF YOU, IF I'M INCORRECT, BUT DURING THE REFORMS MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT FOR THIS PARTICULAR COUNCIL MEETING, IT WAS GOING TO BE ON A ROTATION BASIS OF DOING EITHER THIS STAFFING UPDATE OR DOING A REFORMS UPDATE, BUT IT WASN'T Is that how you remember it, Mayor? Yeah. I don't remember talking about doing a quarterly, which I'm not against. I'm just saying that that was my understanding as we were going to do a rotation during this meeting of having it be updates on staffing, and then the next one would be…”

“Yeah, so. That comes down to the discussion of whether we want something to come regularly to the council or whether we want to hope that we all can attend that quarterly meeting and watch it on video and not be able to participate. I think it's really the question. And I, you know, I kind of feel with what Council Member Lettege was saying that there is concern about being a passive participant in listening to the updates for the safety committee as well as the reforms committee and not being able to actually comment or be a participant in that meeting. So I think that's something we need to…”

“Sure. Like I said before, if you were listening, the Reforms Act action is very slow. There's not updates every week. There's not updates every month. I mean, it's very slow progress. So to have the chief come and present every... MONTH OR EVERY 60 DAYS ON THE REFORMS, I THINK WE WOULD, IT WOULDN'T BE FRUITFUL. SO I AGREE, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, EVEN THE SUBCOMMITTEE COULD MEET BIMONTHLY, JUST LIKE THE SAFETY COMMITTEE, IF THAT HELPS YOU WITH YOUR WORKLOAD, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE WORKLOAD IS HARD. I ALSO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD STILL, WE COULD DO INSTEAD OF EVERY…”

“YES, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I'M WONDERING, I KNOW THAT THE PREVIOUS PLANS WERE WRITTEN LIKE 20 YEARS AGO, BUT THEY WERE VERY ROBUST, AND I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN WRITING THOSE PLANS, AND SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S, FIRST OF ALL, IF THE CONSULTANTS HAVE READ THROUGH THOSE PLANS SO THAT WE'RE NOT I mean, I don't want to waste a lot of time. Is this really going to take three years when we already have a comprehensive plan when not much has happened on the waterfront in the last 20 years? So and I think a lot of the things that the community wanted are still…”

“And will we have to wait three years for that to actually happen? Or will you be delivering some of that as we go along this process?”

“I BROUGHT THIS FORWARD BECAUSE THE SAB WAS DIFFICULT. MY INTENTION WOULD BE THAT THE DISTRICT PERSON WOULD STILL PICK FROM, THEY WOULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY WHETHER THEY WANT TO ONLY SELECT FROM THEIR DISTRICT OR IF THEY WANT TO MOVE ON AND SELECT FROM OTHER DISTRICTS TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A QUORUM. BUT ALWAYS THE DUTY STILL LIES WITH THE DECISION BEING MADE BY THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE, THE DISTRICT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE.”

“Sorry, through the Mayor, before the motion, I just want to make sure, because I agree with Council Member Matias, I think this needs to come on every agenda, so if that can be part of the motion, that we have this as a topic of discussion until this is substantially resolved, I would support that, so I wanted that to be part of the motion.”

“And just quickly, I agree with comes more letters you I think that we need to have a process in place, maybe all grand jury reports come once they get to you, they go to the city manager, and then they get forwarded to the council immediately. So we have time to read it, ask questions, not be waiting until it's the due date and have it be on a consent item. So I think that would be the prudent course for all grand jury reports.”

“Just as a follow-up question, who sets the priorities for the lobbyists? Because I don't remember us discussing as what we want them to be lobbying for. Is that something that's set by the city or who sets those priorities? I mean, it's been a long time.”

“With the current administration and all the concerns we have, we should be having that discussion to give priorities of what we want them lobbying for. Go ahead, City Mayor Scherlock.”
