“And to me, based on, I know, but I want to give him credit to his point. So he's wondering, okay, what that looks like regarding our wastewater area. And obviously there's CCN, there's much greater than there's our water. If you go out there, even just going on Cameron Road, which pretty much three-fourths of the city doesn't even know exists. I mean, it's insane. Over here as well, you see a significant amount of increase regarding these actual subdivisions coming in. and when they're coming online. What I anticipate and what I understand the staff is working with the developers, seeing when…”

“This is a very interesting conversation for a lot of people or the two people online and everybody else will look later on on this. So that's why I was saying that I want to make sure they understood what you meant by that, if that makes any sense. And how often do you actually get a council really interested in talking about this?”

“Or we at least believe that, because remember we had that conversation about what's going to happen with apartment complex.”

“Yeah, and let me explain. I want to thank Jonathan early on specifically came to me talking about this idea and this policy and what we're working on. We talked about how staff was looking at these things as a whole in their totality. What should we do? How should we look at this game like a good opportunity to go and do so. Jonathan then went to start talking to David, Councilman Rogers, about it. And as we've heard from Mayor Pro Tem, Kimberly, numerous times, I get a little nervous about when all of us are all discussing, everything else happened from that as well. So I stepped back. They…”

“And to that point, that's one of the reasons why, if you look at my document, for example, if you look at Section 2, the definition, you see me specifically denote the difference between AI systems and gender-invasive. because those two things aren't necessarily the same. And you see what I articulated regarding what covered systems are, that means that works for that as well. Some of the things, for example, consequential decision making, Changed some verbiage over there as well. I added meaningful human reviews. These are things that I've looked at regarding what I'm advising our clients…”

“One of the things you'll notice in here is that it's less prescriptive regarding the flexibility for city manager and city staff. Because one of the things is that I don't want to be too prescriptive on what you're actually going to be working for. But anything that's actually citizen-facing, citizen data, I mean, that's... And that's a line. And that's a wall. And so what do we do? What procedures? What other aspects do we put on that?”
City Council · Aug 25, 2026

“Yeah, so for example, vendor data use, right? Like, what do we have specifically on there for any vendors that we got? Agenic AI, what can it be used to send or go in and contact information? What can generative AI be utilized for employees?”

“I would say that these are things that... Well, I mean, I think you know me well enough, and I've been doing this long enough for it. It's everything that I've been advising... This is probably going about three... This has been an issue for about three and a half years. And actually, I want to give credit. She's not here right now. Mimi Stiles, years ago... We had a conversation and we started talking about it. And let me tell you what the impetus for me was, was that I know all too well in the legal profession that cross-racial identification is a real issue. That is a significant issue…”

“Yeah, to your point, and you just said it yourself, if you look at page 9, there's a reason why I put so much regarding... vendor data use. Because I think one of the concerns, one of the issues is that the totality of what's being utilized, no outside party receives an independent right to train or improve. The model developed on unrelated product types, et cetera, right there as well. You see that list and talks about the specific contracts, the vendor disclosures, the non-compliance, which I think is a key portion to that and working for that. You also feed right into required vendor…”

“So I have college football this weekend on Saturday. Otherwise, I don't see why it can't be done. Otherwise, I mean, I don't see why this can't get done seriously over the weekend.”

“So I would I wouldn't say I disagree with us ripping over ourselves over this. I do agree that we do need to, I think, honestly, I think two weeks is way too long. Like I said, I think this is something that we can go ahead and, I mean, you've done this. We should be able to go ahead and get this done and knocked out. We can't get it approved until the next meeting.”

“And then what's a lawful attorney? I mean, there's a couple of those things.”
City Council · Aug 25, 2026
- Play at 1:07:42
“Yeah. I mean, and what lawful, you know, it's... Those are the things that, they have the little things I didn't mention. There's things that can be cleaned up. I'm really concerned about some of the privacy and some of the vendor use and not being prescriptive with that because of what I've seen in my own clients' lawsuits. There's nothing in here, let's put it this way. Like I said, I've had three and a half years to develop this. Nothing is in here that I haven't had experience somewhere down the line.”

“I don't think anything in here undercuts what it is. I think what it is is buttresses or adds more concrete enforcement on some of these things. And I think that's what keys that. And then, like, some parts that, like I said, that... I'm telling y'all this. Like, I... It causes me heartache. Like, the suspension and termination clause put in there. Like, I mean, these are things where... I've seen bad stuff. If your contract isn't written well to cover you, then... Well, yeah.”
