“Of 25, yes, sir. Yeah, okay. Good question. Any other questions, comments? Otherwise, I recognize a motion from Mayor Pro Tem.”

“Got it. All right. Motion to approve item F9. Councilman Will? I second. All right. We have a motion and a second. I'll just tell you, being an inpatient personality, when we have a discussion in October 2025, I want you guys to bring it forward to us quicker than... You know, that's just a lot of discussion, a lot of effort to go into a policy that, quite frankly, we could have captured a lot of tournaments. And I'll own part of that. Like, it's not me pointing the fingers at anyone. I remember providing red line edits. Quite frankly, I thought the policy was already on the books. But we…”

“So, Deputy Chief, just a quick question. Yes, sir. That was news to me. So you ran the license plate through a search on the ALPR system, and then because you searched it, I'm guessing you did the search? Correct. Okay. And then the software automatically flagged your searches for potential misuse or non-allowed activity? Is that what you're saying?”

“All right. Thank you, Chief, Deputy Chief. So, you know, we've all been getting questions and folks who wanted information, so I think it's really important just, I think you said it better than I'll say it, but for transparency and accountability's sake that we get this information out there, you know, when folks have questions. I'll just be really candid with Council. I've been, you know, We've all, I think, had the opportunity to meet with Chief, and I think most if not all of us have had the opportunity to successfully go through that meeting and learn a lot. You know, I think if we want…”

“All right. Thanks, Councilman. This is for anyone to answer. I just want to make sure I understand the expectations. Councilman Watley, you're mayor pro teme. So typically with the resolution, we don't have public hearings. You know, we talked about the ICE partnership a couple years ago. There wasn't, I mean, we had persons to be heard, but there wasn't a public hearing. We've considered resolutions like this before. And so honestly, as much for staff as anyone, in terms of the expectation for a public hearing, what sort of communications are you expecting that go out? And the only reason I…”

“Yeah, last thing I'll say, because I've been listening closely to where you guys are headed. I honestly think what you're talking about is a town hall. I don't think we're talking about like a public hearing or anything like that, because public hearing is like a statutory requirement on an agenda. I think if we're going to have, I'm being 100% serious when I say this, I think what we're talking about is a community discussion in a town hall type atmosphere where folks can get their questions answered, they can show up to the community room, and engage in the discussion. I'm not sure that…”

“Let's go ahead and vote to get the item done. But I'm not reticent to table it. We can put it on the next meeting agenda. That's not an issue.”

“It's a motion to table to October 6th. All right. And that motion carries 5-2. And to be clear, we're tabling this resolution. So we'll reconsider the resolution at the October 6th meeting because that's the item that we tabled. Thanks, Chief. Thanks, Deputy Chief. Both Deputy Chiefs for your work tonight.”

“That's right. Yeah, so we'll do the facade. This is for the facade improvement grants. That's a good question, sir. Good clarification. Yeah. Right.”

“All right. I'm going to go ahead and make a motion to approve item H1 for the Facade Improvement Grants. We had a pretty robust discussion about that at Economic Development Board last night. Each of us have had, I think, the opportunity to interact also with the applicant on this item. So I'll make a motion. Councilwoman Brennan.”

“All right. 7-0. First two items. You know, and just, I'll make a brief comment before we get to H3. Part of the reason, at least from my perspective, that these first two items are so easy to synthesize was because you've done a great job in your presentations presenting a vision that I think all of us are excited about on city council. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean we, we'll see where the discussion goes. I have no idea, as evident by some other items tonight. You know, we'll look at a... Thanks, Councilman.”

“That helps me and I think the public can answer my question about reminding me kind of what we're getting at in the 380 proposal here for the bathrooms and the grease trap. So if you don't mind standing by in case there are questions for staff or the applicant. Any questions, colleagues? Councilman Wiley, is that a motion that you're trying to make? Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. Okay, all right. So we'll recognize that motion and then see if there's any questions from... Is the motion on the table? Yes. Yeah, and he hasn't stated the motion yet, but... Any questions for the applicant or for staff?…”
