And these issues that are being brought up here These are the issues that we will discuss in the agenda item when it's brought forward. Yeah. Okay, all of it, in depth. Yes, last comment, and then you want to make a motion?
And even regardless of how much we're talking in the community with folks, bringing it to the council chambers... is putting it on the agenda is the way that we let the community know that we're talking about it, and they will have ample opportunity to send us as much information and thoughts and feedback about it for that item. And to your point, Vice Mayor, is that the Chief will prepare for that agenda item. And for me personally, just saying that, to me, this is kind of an additional kind of... in addition to what direction we've already given to say that in addition to looking at Axon…

And what would that be? Is the trade-off small? Is it big? I don't know. And without that information, you know, coming back, I have a personal position of what I think that will be.

I think we know where everybody stands and we can continue to have this conversation, continue to discuss. I personally want to continue to hear from the community on all the different perspectives. Please send them to me. I've already had so many, but let's just keep talking. And I'll continue to talk with my colleagues everywhere. But if someone would like to call the question, we can do that. No, I'll let someone else call it.
Does staff have enough direction and understanding of what her agenda item is?
All right. So we got a first and a second. All right. Let's call the vote, please.
It's not time to celebrate Mexican Independence Day yet, so we're still good. Or Central America Independence Day. Margaritas all around. All right. Now, maybe there's another exciting moment. If you want to stay, there's still a couple things left. Now is the time for the introduction of additional agenda items. Do the members of council have any items introduced? I think Council Member Rosati had one.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
