          UM, SO WE'LL 
          [3.3 Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month Proclamation]
MOVE TO ITEM 3.3, WHICH IS OUR PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION. 
          AND, UM, IN 2013, THE CALIFORNIA SENATE ESTABLISHED THE MONTH OF MARCH AS PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH WHEN USED AS PRESCRIBED BY A DOCTOR. 
          PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION CAN BE HELPFUL IN TREATING MANY ILLNESSES, BUT WHEN MEDICATIONS ARE MISUSED, THEY CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. 
          THIS PROCLAMATION ENCOURAGES ALL CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES AND TO PLEDGE TO SPREAD THE WORD THAT ONE PILL CAN KILL. 
          ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST, 2026, DUBLIN POLICE SERVICES IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE, HOSTED A PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND FENTANYL SAFETY COMMUNITY FORUM AT EMERALD HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THIS FORUM FOCUSED ON SUBSTANCE USE AND OVERDOSE PREVENTION. 
          SO RIGHT NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO, UM, INVITE OUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE, THE N-C-A-P-D-A TO COME UP, UM, AND SAY A FEW WORDS. 
          YOU CAN BRING YOUR WHOLE GROUP IF YOU WANT. 
          WE HAVE APRIL RIVERA, THE, UM, FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ALONG WITH, UM, JUSTIN TING AND ALICE LEE AND ALICIA SADIA. 
          MOTHY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          UM, WE ARE REALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU NOT ONLY ARE RECOGNIZING THIS MONTH, BUT YOU'VE ALSO PUT IT ON YOUR AGENDA FOR EVERY MONTH OR EVERY YEAR NOW. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE IT DOES GIVE US A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO SPREAD AWARENESS JUST IN THE FACT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES. 
          SO N-C-A-P-D-A FOR SHORT IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. 
          WE'RE VOLUNTEER BASED. 
          WE'RE ABOUT TO CELEBRATE OUR 16TH ANNIVERSARY BASED IN SAN RAMON, BUT WE DO A LOT OF WORK OVER HERE. 
          IN FACT, UM, OUR PROJECT MANAGER, ALICE, THERE I GO AGAIN. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          ELAINE COOK AND I WERE JUST YESTERDAY OVER AT DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE BACK NEXT MONDAY. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO SCHEDULED TO BE OVER AT EMERALD HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND SO WHAT WE DO THERE IS WE BASICALLY GO INTO THE NINTH GRADE HEALTH CLASSES AND WE PRESENT OUR, OUR FULL, YOU KNOW, CURRICULUM BASICALLY, AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF CERTAIN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAT CAN BE ADDICTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. 
          OF COURSE, IN TERMS OF OVERDOSE, WE ALSO DO OVERDOSE RESCUE TRAINING. 
          UM, UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THIS, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE NALOXONE BEHIND WITH THE STUDENTS WE TRAIN. 
          UH, WHAT WE DO IS JUST TELL 'EM, CONTACT US AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET IT. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN CHANGE THAT DOWN PATH. 
          WE FEEL THAT ALL OF OUR YOUTH SHOULD HAVE IT AS WELL AS ALL, AS ALL OF OUR, OUR ADULT CITIZENS. 
          SO OUR MISSION, UM, ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS REALLY JUST TO DO COMMUNITY EDUCATION IN THOSE WAYS I JUST MENTIONED, AND THEN ALSO TO DISTRIBUTE NALOXONE AS MUCH AS WE CAN. 
          UH, WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH CHIEF FOX, WHO, UH, WAS KIND ENOUGH TO WORK WITH US ON THAT EVENT THAT YOU MENTIONED ON THE 21ST. 
          AND, UH, WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN, AND IT WILL BE, I DON'T, I THINK IT'S MAYBE THE FIRST ONE HERE IN DUBLIN, A NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION UNIT WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST WALK UP TO THE UNIT AND PICK OUT, UM, OUT OF THE BOX, UH, A NALOXONE KIT OR OTHERWISE A BOX WILL HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT, BUT IT'LL BE FREE AND THERE WON'T BE ANY BARRIERS TO PEOPLE GETTING IT AND WE'LL KEEP IT WELL STOCKED, I'M SURE. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A REAL QUICK BIT OF HISTORY. 
          SO I WAS ACTUALLY THE PERSON THAT WORKED WITH BACK IN 2013, SENATOR DIER. 
          UM, HE IS NOW A CONGRESSMAN AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT HE AND I WORKED TOGETHER TO ESTABLISH A PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE AWARENESS DAY A MONTH, ACTUALLY. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT. 
          IT'S, UH, IT'S LEGISLATED 
          [00:10:01]
IN, IT'S GONNA LAST FOREVER AND EVERY YEAR WE ALWAYS GET A CHANCE THEN TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, UH, TONIGHT, NOT JUST WITH THIS, THIS CITY, BUT MANY OTHERS. 
          UM, I'M GOING TO STOP THERE AND JUST GIVE OUR YOUTH A CHANCE TO, TO SHARE A FEW WORDS. 
          UH, WE'RE JUST REALLY PROUD THAT WE'VE GOT ABOUT 50 YOUNG PEOPLE NOW WORKING WITH US AROUND THE TRI-VALLEY AREA MOSTLY. 
          AND SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHO WANTS TO COME UP FIRST, BUT DON'T BE SHY. 
          LAIA, WE'LL CALL YOU UP FIRST. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          HI EVERYONE, MY NAME IS LAIA AND I'M A JUNIOR EMERALD HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE ON PRESCRIPTION DRUG AWARENESS. 
          SO I BEGAN WORKING WITH N-C-A-P-D-A IN 2023 WHEN APRIL CAME TO MY SCHOOL TO GIVE A SCHOOL PRESENTATION ABOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE AND THE OVERDOSE EPIDEMIC. 
          AND AT THIS POINT, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE OF ALL THE STIGMA SURROUNDING IT, AND I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OR THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT WAS AFFECTING, BUT I SOON DID REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BY EVERYONE BECAUSE IT CAN REALLY IMPACT EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SINCE THAT POINT, I'VE LEARNED THAT OVERDOSES CAN UNINTENTIONALLY RESULT FROM PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND IT CAN REALLY AFFECT EVERY SINGLE PERSON. 
          SO THAT'S WHY IT MAKES IT SO IMPORTANT FOR ITS EDUCATION TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST A SINGLE COMMUNITY OR A SINGLE SCHOOL, BUT ESPECIALLY PRIORITIZING YOUTH BECAUSE WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE CARRYING OVER FOR THIS NEXT GENERATION. 
          AND I DO FEEL THAT RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THIS EPIDEMIC IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOT ONLY LEARN ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, MISUSE AND OVER AND USING OVERDOSE TO RESPOND TO, UM, USING NALOXONE TO RESPOND TO OVERDOSES, BUT IT ALSO HELPS US SUPPORT THOSE FACING THESE CHALLENGES AS WELL. 
          AND I WANT TO, I BELIEVE THAT SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUTH AT SUCH A FORMATIVE STAGE OF LIFE BUILDS AWARENESS AND EMPOWERS US TO TAKE ON THIS ROLE TO NOT ONLY SAVE A LIFE BY ADMINISTERING NALOXONE, BUT ALSO GIVING YOUTH THE CHANCE TO DO THIS AS WELL IF THEY EVER ARE PLACED IN THAT SITUATION. 
          THROUGH VOLUNTEERING WITH N-C-A-P-D-A, I HAVE LISTENED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHARE HOW SUBSTANCE MISUSE HAS ALTERED THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES AS WELL. 
          AND THROUGH THESE EXPERIENCES, I REALIZED THAT IT IS LIKE THROUGH EDUCATION AND SOME AWARENESS, IT WAS REALLY POSSIBLE WITH TO ACCESS RESOURCES AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO THESE PEOPLE FOR SUPPORT, AS WELL AS, UM, GIVING THEM ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS FOR NALOXONE AND HAVING ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL TO USE. 
          AND WE ALSO WANTED TO SHARE HOW OUR YOUTH HAVE BEEN ENGAGING WITH NCPD. 
          SO OUR YOUTH AMBASSADORS ENGAGE WITH NCPD THROUGH LEARNING THROUGH OUR DIGITAL EDUCATION SERIES. 
          THEY LEAVE PRESENTATIONS FOR VARIOUS AGE GROUPS ON MEDICATION SAFETY AND OVERDOSE RESCUE TRAININGS, AS WELL AS BUILDING AND DISTRIBUTING FREE NALOXONE KITS. 
          AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR YOUTH WILL BE IN ACTION ON MARCH 7TH, THIS SATURDAY AT THE DUBLIN PUBLIC LIBRARY, AS THEY'LL BE PARTNERING WITH THE DUBLIN MAYOR'S COUNCIL TO BE WORKING ON A DRUG SAFETY WORKSHOP IN HONOR OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG AWARENESS MONTH IN MARCH. 
          AND THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE OUR OVERDOSE RESCUE TRAINING. 
          SO WE WILL BE SHARING MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 
          AND WE DO BELIEVE THAT BEYOND CARING NALOXONE, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO LEARN OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONARY TIPS, SUCH AS KEEPING MEDICATION LOCKED AWAY, ESPECIALLY IF CHILDREN AND PETS ARE PRESENT, AS WELL AS DISPOSING OF MEDICATION SAFELY AT POLICE DISPOSAL SITES OR PHARMACEUTICAL DISPOSAL SITE AT YOUR PHARMACIES. 
          AND LASTLY, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD THAT THE CITY OF DUBLIN IS RECOGNIZING PRESCRIPTION DRUG AWARENESS MONTH TODAY. 
          AND I'M GLAD TO BE HERE TO SEE THIS AS WELL. 
          AND SEEING THIS IMPACT WITH N-C-A-P-D AND SEEING ALL, ALL HOW, HOW ALL OUR OUTREACH HAS INFLUENCED ALL THIS MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH NCPD FOR THE MANY YEARS TO COME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO, TO SAY A WORD? PERFECT. 
          HI, I'M ALICE. 
          THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. 
          UM, IN MY THREE YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL, I'VE LOST THREE OF MY FRIENDS THAT TOOK THEIR OWN LIFE, AND IT'S NOT CLEAR THROUGH WHY, BUT IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY FELT THERE WAS A NEED TO LEAVE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE PEOPLE SMOKING VAPING, TURNING TO LIKE DRUG USE AND STUFF, AND YOU SEE PEOPLE, PEOPLE DIE ON TV. 
          AND IT WASN'T UNTIL FRESHMAN YEAR WHEN I HEARD THE PASSING OF MY FIRST FRIEND THAT I REALIZED THAT THIS HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE TOO. 
          UM, LATER I BUMPED INTO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN SCHOOL AND PUBLIC WHO ALSO TURNED TO DRUG USE OR OTHER HARMFUL SUBSTANCES. 
          AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT INDIVIDUALS NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND EDUCATE OUR PEERS, OUR FAMILIES, AND OUR COMMUNITIES, UM, THAT THEY'RE BETTER AND SAFER FOR ALTERNATIVES WITH APRIL'S HARD WORK. 
          UM, AND SHE'S ALSO MET MANY PARENTS WHO'S LOST THEIR CHILDREN DUE TO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAT WERE MAYBE UNNECESSARILY FOR DOCTORS TO PRESCRIBE OR MIXED WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT CAUSED A CHEMICAL TRAGEDY. 
          I JOINED NCP DAY FRESHMAN YEAR, SO THAT WAY PEOPLE ARE LIKE MORE AWARE AND THAT PEOPLE TALK MORE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS ORGANIZATION AMPLIFIES THE VOICES OF SAFETY AND OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO KNOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          [00:15:06]
HI, MY NAME IS JUSTIN AND THROUGH N-C-A-P-D-A I'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE DANGERS OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE AND HOW IT CAN HAPPEN PRACTICALLY ANYWHERE, EVEN IN A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD SUCH AS DUBLIN. 
          AND THIS IS BECAUSE THESE PILLS ARE SO EASY TO OBTAIN AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE PROPER EDUCATION ABOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, WHICH IS WHY THIS MISUSE AND ABUSE KEEPS HAPPENING. 
          AND WHAT I'VE GAINED THE MOST FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH N-C-A-P-D-A IS LEARNING HOW TO EDUCATE MYSELF ON HOW TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR MYSELF AND LEARNING HOW TO EDUCATE OTHERS PROPERLY ON THE REAL DANGERS AND RISKS OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE. 
          AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY PRESCRIPTION DRUG SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMPLETELY SAFE. 
          I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBTAINED LEGITIMATELY. 
          IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN RESPONSIBLY, STORED RESPONSIBLY, AND IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT OUT OF OTHERS PE OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDS BECAUSE IT CAN NOT ONLY PRESENT A RISK TO OURSELVES, BUT TO THE PEOPLE AROUND US. 
          THANK YOU. 
          HI, EVERYONE. 
          MY NAME IS ELAINE COOK. 
          I AM THE NEWEST PROJECT MANAGER IN ALAMEDA COUNTY. 
          I'M SO PROUD TO WORK ALONGSIDE WITH APRIL IN THIS MISSION. 
          IT'S INCREDIBLE WORK. 
          UM, I AM JUST HONORED TO BE A PART OF THE MISSION. 
          UH, CURRENTLY I'M WORKING ON A FEW THINGS IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, UH, A PART OF N-C-A-P-D-A, UM, COMPILING A LIST OF ALL RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, INCLUDING DUBLIN AND THE SURROUNDING CITIES. 
          UM, I'M ALSO CREATING A PARENT GUIDE FOR PARENTS WHO MAY HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH SUBSTANCES MENTAL HEALTH. 
          UM, SO I AM TRANSLATING THAT INTO TERMS FOR ALAMEDA COUNTY AND AS APRIL SAID, WE ARE, WELL, WE WERE IN DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL AS OF YESTERDAY DOING PRESENTATIONS TO THE NINTH GRADE HEALTH CLASS AND SEEING PEOPLE GET, OR YOUNG PEOPLE GET SO EXCITED ABOUT SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC HAS JUST WARMED ME INSIDE. 
          UM, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE ALL THE HARD WORK COME INTO FRUITION AND I'M SO INCREDIBLY PROUD AND GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF THE MISSION AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT TO COME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL OF YOU WHO SPOKE TONIGHT. 
          UM, I I JUST WANNA SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN, UH, A FAN OF APRIL'S FOR QUITE SOME TIME, UM, AND I'M, I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THE ORGANIZATION HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS AND, UM, TO ALL OF YOU YOUNG FOLKS, UM, WE KNOW TEENAGERS DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES. 
          UM, AND SO THE WORK YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO EDUCATE YOUR PEERS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. 
          UM, AND SO I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU AS WELL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO INDIVIDUALLY WORKING WITH YOUR, YOUR PEERS AT SCHOOL AND, UM, TRYING TO, TO LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW, ESPECIALLY, UM, NINTH GRADERS IN THE HEALTH CLASS, UM, THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE.

          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS SHIRLEY LEWANDOWSKI AT THE RIGHT GLASSES THIS TIME. 
          . 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          I'M SHIRLEY LEWANDOWSKI. 
          GOOD EVENING TO THE WHOLE MAYOR. 
          UM, THE WHOLE MAYOR, THE WHOLE COUNCIL, UH, MAYOR AND STAFF. 
          I'M SHIRLEY LEWANDOWSKI, A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF DUBLIN. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CROSBY PROPERTY OWNER HAS OPT TO APPEAL TO ALAMEDA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT'S FINAL DECISION LAST YEAR THAT INVALIDATES MEASURE II. 
          THE COURT'S STRONG DIS CERTIFICATION FOR ITS DECISION IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE CITY OF DUBLIN DID NOT CONDUCT AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PRIOR TO PUTTING MEASURE II ON THE BALLOT IN 2024. 
          THIS VIOLATED THE LAW, THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, 
          [00:30:01]
AND THEREFORE, DUBLIN VOTERS WERE NOT GIVEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF MEASURE II BEFORE VOTING. 
          THE CITY HAS ALWAYS SAID IT FOLLOWS THE LAW, BUT WITH MEASURE II, IT BROKE THE LAW. 
          DUBLIN RESIDENTS FEEL THE CITY COUNCIL'S DECISION LAST MONTH ON FEBRUARY 3RD, DO NOT APPEAL. 
          THE COURT'S DECISION IS RIGHT AND JUSTIFY TO CORRECT THE MISLEADING INTENT OF MEASURE II. 
          BOTH DUBLIN RESIDENTS AND LIVERMORE RESIDENTS ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE COURT'S DECISIVE AND IMPACTFUL DECISION WILL HOLD UP AGAINST ANY APPEAL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS STEVEN DELI. 
          GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS STEVEN DELI AND I'M THE LAND USE ADVOCATE AT SAFE MOUNT DIABLO. 
          UH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IN THE DUELING CANYON AREA HAS CHOSEN TO APPEAL THE ALAMEDA SUPERIOR COURTS DECISION REGARDING MEASURE II. 
          WE REMAIN CONFIDENT IN THE STRENGTH OF THE RULING AND BELIEVE IT WILL BE UPHELD AS THE APPEAL RUNS ITS COURSE. 
          THE COURT WAS CLEAR THAT PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW MUST OCCUR BEFORE A MEASURE LIKE THIS IS PLACED BEFORE THE VOTERS SAFE. 
          MOUNT DIABLO, ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS, HAVE ALLOCATED THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND STANDS FULLY PREPARED TO DEFEND THIS DECISION VIGOROUSLY ON APPEAL. 
          OUR FOCUS REMAINS WHAT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, MAKING SURE THAT DECISIONS AFFECTING DUAL AND CANYON COMPLY WITH THE LAW AND ARE INFORMED BY FULL TRANSPARENT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THE LAST SPEAKER IS MIKE GRANT. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MIKE GRANT, LONGTIME RESIDENT OWNER OF GUNS UNLIMITED REPAIR IN DUBLIN. 
          AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          LAST THURSDAY, THE COUNTY'S SANTA CLARA COUNTY CANCELED A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY PROGRAM. 
          I'M NOT GONNA MENTION THE WORD BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET PUSHED TO THE REAR FOR SARATOGA, CUPERTINO AND LOS ALTOS HILLS. 
          THIS PROHIBITED THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FROM USING THIS VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM TO LOOK FOR VERY BAD PEOPLE. 
          SO WHAT IT TURNED OUT IS FUNNY. 
          THEY PROHIBITED THESE PEOPLE FROM USING THIS VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM. 
          MR. GRANT, I'M GONNA, UM, NO, I, NO, JUST, I'M GONNA ASK YOU A QUESTION REAL QUICK. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, IF, IF YOUR ENTIRE PUBLIC COMMENTS IS ABOUT THAT ISSUE, UM, JUST KNOW THAT YOU WON'T BE SPEAKING ABOUT THAT ISSUE AGAIN. 
          UM, WHEN WE GET TO IT ON THE AGENDA, SINCE THAT'S WHAT YOUR SPEECH IS ABOUT, YOU, YOU'RE WELCOME TO CONTINUE. 
          BUT JUST KNOW THAT STOP THE CLOCK. 
          I WANNA REGAIN MY TIME. 
          IF SHE'S GONNA DO THAT'S FINE. 
          I'LL, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL LET YOU GO TO THAT'S FINE. 
          UM, WELL, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE IS ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE PAID BASICALLY TO PROTECT US. 
          AND WHEN I SAY THAT, AND I'M NOT CARRYING ON ABOUT THAT, WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT, ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE, ARE TO PROTECT US FROM CRIMINALS, NOT HELP CRIMINALS, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. 
          SO I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA WITH THAT THING THAT WENT ON WITH, UM, SAFE WISE WITH THE CITY'S RATING WHERE WE WERE 26TH. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW ACCURATE THAT DATA IS, BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHY DON'T WE SET A GOAL IN DUBLIN AND LET'S JUST SEE IF WE CAN GET IT DOWN INTO THE TEENS, HOW WE GET THERE. 
          I WANNA SAY, I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU GUYS, BUT, UH, I DEFINITELY WILL BE, YOU'LL HEAR ME IN THE BACKGROUND CHIRPING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. 
          I JUST THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TRY TO MOVE THE NEEDLE A LITTLE BIT AND NOT, UM, SIT AND JUST USE THIS. 
          THESE, UM, I DON'T CALL 'EM EXCUSES, BUT, UH, BECAUSE OF OUR CITY AND WHERE WE'RE AT, THERE'S CITIES DOWN SOUTH THAT ARE 124,000 POPULATION AND THEY'RE NUMBER 10. 
          I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE NAME OF IT HERE AT HANDY. 
          SO THANK YOU, UH, VICE MAYOR FOR, UH, CORRECT ME ON THAT. 
          I'LL, UH, CALL IT. 
          GOOD. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU MR. GRANT. 
          OKAY. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SPEAKERS? UM, NO.

          UM, DO WE HAVE ANY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE PULLED FROM CONSENT? NO. 
          ANYTHING. 
          MAYOR, HAVE WE LOST THE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR? I DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR 5.4. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

          WE'VE HAD A, UM, MOTION AND A SECOND AND I BELIEVE WE NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE. 
          CAN WE HAVE THE VOTE PLEASE? THE CALL, PLEASE? YES. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER MARADA IS ABSENT. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CADRY AYE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARSTEN. 
          AYE. 
          VICE MAYOR JOSIE. 
          AYE. 
          MAYOR WHO? YES. 
          OKAY, PERFECT. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          ITEM 5.4 
          [5.4 Update to the City of Dublin Outdoor Flag Display Policy]
IS THE UPDATE TO THE CITY OF DUBLIN'S OUTDOOR FLAG DISPLAY POLICY DUE. 
          UM, STAFF, WOULD YOU LIKE TO, UM, GIVE US A QUICK INTRODUCTION ON THIS SINCE WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT? OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT? UH, TO SUMMARIZE, FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE, THIS, UM, AMENDMENT TO OUR FLAG POLICY WOULD PROVIDE CLEAR DIRECTION ON WHEN WE WOULD LOWER THE CITY FLAG AS IT RELATES TO THE PASSING OF A PRESENT OR, UM, FORMER, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, NO QUESTIONS FROM THE DIOCESE ON THIS ITEM. 
          SO, UM, IF YOU WOULD CALL A PUBLIC COMMENT UP, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          AND THAT SPEAKER IS BRENT SANJI. 
          HELLO. 
          SO I HAVE A QUESTION AND A COMMENT. 
          SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IT SAYS IN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, THE CITY MAY LOWER THE FLAG TO HONOR THE DEATHS OF CURRENT OR FORMER LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS UNLESS THE COUNCIL DETERMINES THAT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT MAINTAINING THE FLAG AT FULL STAFF. 
          CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD YOU WOULD NOT LOWER THE FLAG FOR SOMEONE ON THE COUNCIL OR FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER? UH, THEN MY QUESTION OR MY, UH, COMMENT, IT ALSO SAYS THAT WHILE NOT PROVIDED FOR IN THE POLICY, THE CITY FLAG HAS BEEN LOWERED TO HONOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL WHO PASSED AWAY, INCLUDING DON BIDDLE, PETE SNYDER AND JANET LOCKHART. 
          UM, SO WHY, IF WE'RE DOING THIS ALREADY, WHY DO WE NEED A POLICY IN PLACE TO SAY THAT IF WE'RE ALREADY DOING IT, WHY DO WE NEED THE POLICY TO SAY THAT? AND SO IF IT MAKES SENSE, IF WE'RE ALREADY DOING IT TO JUST MAKE THAT THE POLICY, WHY DID WE NOT DO THAT BACK IN 2019? WE HAD A THREE, WE DID THREE FLAGS THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF OUR CITY, AND THIS WAS A CONTROVERSIAL ITEM. 
          AND JEAN JOSIE AND SEAN KUMA GUY ADVOCATED FOR HAVING THEIR SPECIFIC COMMEMORATIVE FLAG ADDED WITHIN THE POLICY. 
          SO I THINK THE POLICY SHOULD JUST BE THE THREE FLAGS AND WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE COMMEMORATIVE FLAG PART ALTOGETHER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT? UH, NO, WE DON'T. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL I'LL GO AHEAD AND ASK THE QUESTION THEN. 
          UM, WHAT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD, UM, PREVENT THE CITY FROM, UM, LOWERING THE FLAG FOR A, UM, DECEASED COUNCIL MEMBER OR MAYOR, FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER OR MAYOR? UH, GOOD EVENING VICE MAYOR, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JORDAN FOSS, CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. 
          UM, AN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE MAY BE THAT THERE'S SOME SORT OF ORDER THAT COMES FROM EITHER THE PRESIDENT OR THE GOVERNOR THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE CITY TO KEEP THE FLAG AT FULL STAFF. 
          UM, IF THAT SITUATION WERE TO OCCUR, THEN WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR, UH, DECISION FROM EITHER, UM, FROM ALL OF YOU OR EITHER THE MAYOR. 
          UM, WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY JUST USE DISCRETION IN THAT SITUATION. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER, UM, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ON COUNCIL? HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 5.4 OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR. 
          I'LL SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE, HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMENTS, WE WILL MOVE TO A ROLL CALL PLEASE.

          THE MAYOR WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE. 
          UM, IF THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY, HAS THE MAYOR COMMENTED ON THIS AS SHE WEIGHED IN AT ALL? UH, IT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY DRASTIC THING TO SAY. 
          UM, IT WAS BASED ON A SINGLE INQUIRY THAT SOMEONE MADE ABOUT A PARTICULAR LOCATION IN THE CITY. 
          UM, WHAT IS THAT LOCATION AND WHO WAS THE PERSON THAT DID THE INQUIRY? AND FROM THAT, HOW DID YOU GET THAT THERE'S A CITYWIDE THREAT TO EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY? HOW DID YOU GO FROM A SINGLE INQUIRY ABOUT ONE LOCATION TO LIKE THE WHOLE CITY AT LARGE? HOW DID YOU GET THERE? UM, YEAH, I THINK I SAW IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE GUNS FISHING AND MORE STUFF IS LEAVING TOWN AFTER 20 YEARS. 
          SO IS THAT LIKE A, IS THIS A WAY TO PREVENT ANOTHER SHOOTING RANGE FROM THAT GOING INTO THAT LOCATION? THAT'S MY GUESS, SO PLEASE EXPLAIN MY CONCERNS. 
          THANKS. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? I DO NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          I WILL THEN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO US. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK, UM, STAFF TO ADDRESS THE, UM, WAS DID THIS, UM, HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LOCATION OF GUNS FISHING AND OTHER STUFF? UH, NO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD QUESTION. 
          QUESTION. 
          THIS ISN'T REGARDING GUN FISHING AND, UH, MORE, UH, THIS WAS BASED ON A OVER THE COUNTER PUBLIC REQUEST THAT WAS LOOKING AT USING A BUSINESS THAT WAS, UH, BASICALLY BORDERING A SCHOOL SITE. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT IT TO STAFF'S ATTENTION THAT, UM, AN INDOOR FIRE FIREARMS, UH, FIREARM, RETAIL AND INDOOR RANGE WAS BEING PROPOSED, UH, ABUTTING A SCHOOL. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT THIS ITEM FORWARD. 
          AGAIN, IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANY OF THE EXISTING BUSINESSES, UM, THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN OPERATION IN 
          [00:45:01]

          [8.2 Report on Public Data Security]
UM, ITEM 8.2, WHICH IS OUR REPORT ON, UH, PUBLIC DATA SECURITY ONE, . 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND, UH, MAYOR WHO AS WELL. 
          UH, VIC FOX, CHIEF OF POLICE COUNCIL. 
          THE CITY CURRENTLY COLLECTS AND UTILIZES INFORMATION FROM A VARIETY OF TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES. 
          AND THIS REPORT'S GONNA ADDRESS THE TECHNOLOGY AND PROTECTION PROTOCOLS AROUND TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES OF INFO UTILIZED BY THE CITY. 
          UH, I WILL COVER PUBLIC SAFETY DATA COLLECTED BY DUBLIN POLICE SERVICES AND STEVE WINDSOR WILL ADDRESS DATA COLLECTED TO THE CITY FOR, UH, INTERNAL SYSTEMS AND, UH, THIRD 
          [00:50:01]
PARTIES. 
          SO STARTING OFF, UM, AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS, UH, THESE HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE, UH, 2017. 
          UM, THE FIRST, UH, WAVE OF TECHNOLOGY WAS, UH, VIGILANT FOR A LPR TECHNOLOGY AND THE, UH, SET CAMS WERE, UH, THROUGH HITACHI. 
          AND, UM, THESE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN, IN OUR BUSINESS, IN STOLEN VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION, RECOVERY, IDENTIFICATION OF SUSPECTS. 
          AND THEY HAVE, UH, PROVIDED US WITH, UM, VALUABLE INVESTIGATIVE LEADS WHEN, UM, AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD'VE HAD NOTHING AT ALL. 
          UM, DIDN'T BEEN VERY VALUABLE. 
          UH, IN OCTOBER, 2024, OCTOBER 15TH, TO BE EXACT, UH, COUNCIL APPROVED US TO PURCHASE 82 FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS. 
          AND THAT WAS INTENDED TO MODERNIZE AND EXPAND OUR COVERAGE. 
          UM, A LOT OF THE TECHNOLOGY WAS JUST OLD, UH, NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND, AND MANY TIMES THE, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE LESS CAMERAS TO GET BETTER COVERAGE. 
          DPS HAS ALSO RECENTLY STARTED USING, UH, PEREGRINE TECHNOLOGIES. 
          UH, THIS IS A PLATFORM THAT INTERFACES WITH EXISTING LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS, SUCH AS OUR DISPATCH SYSTEM, UH, OUR RECORDS MANAGEMENT, UH, THE CONSOLIDATED RECORDS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS A, UH, ALAMEDA COUNTY DATABASE, UM, THAT TRACKS OFFENDER DATA IN THE COUNTY. 
          UH, THESE SYSTEMS ARE ALL OPERATED UNDER STRICT LEGAL GUIDANCE AND LIKE ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT DATABASES HAVE TO HAVE LEGITIMATE USE TO OPERATE. 
          MOVING ON TO FLOCK SAFETY APRS, UM, WHAT THESE DO IS THEY CAPTURE LICENSE PLATE AND VEHICLE DESCRIPTORS ONLY. 
          UH, AND THOSE DESCRIPTORS, WHAT THOSE CAN INCLUDE ARE, UM, A VEHICLE MAKE A COLOR AND OTHER DISTINGUISHING FEATURES ON THE VEHICLE, SUCH AS IF IT HAD A, A ROOF RACK, OR IF IT WAS A TRUCK THAT HAD A TOOLBOX IN THE BACK. 
          THOSE ARE DESCRIPTORS THAT CAN CAPTURE, UH, THEY DO NOT COLLECT PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA OR ADDRESSES. 
          DATA THAT IS REVIEWED MUST HAVE A LEGITIMATE LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE. 
          UH, FLOCK DATA IS NOT USED. 
          FLOCK DATA NOT USED FOR AN INVESTIGATION WITHIN 30 DAYS IS PERMANENTLY DELETED BY DEFAULT. 
          HUMAN VERIFICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION IS TAKEN, AND IT'S DONE FOR SEVERAL REASONS. 
          SOMETIMES THE, THE, UH, CAMERA CAN READ A PLATE WRONG. 
          UH, FOR INSTANCE, IT COULD INTERPRET, UM, AN E THE LETTER E AS AN EIGHT. 
          UM, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, UH, AN OFFENDER DIDN'T SWITCH A PLATE ON THE CAR, SO WE JUST HAVE TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THE PLATE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS ACTUALLY ON THE CAR THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BEFORE ANY, UM, ENFORCEMENT ACTION IS TAKEN. 
          A LPR DATA IS USED TO, UH, SUPPORT INVESTIGATIONS. 
          UH, AGAIN, IT SUPPORTS, UH, STOLEN VEHICLE RECOVERY. 
          UH, IT HELPS US, UH, WITH AT RISK MISSING PERSONS. 
          IT ALSO GIVES US EMERGENCY ALERTS, UH, SUCH AS AMERICA'S MISSING BROADCAST EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM, OR AMBER ALERTS FOR CHILD ABDUCTIONS, OR THE CHILD IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF DEATH OR SERIOUSLY SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. 
          UH, SILVER ALERT SILVER ALERTS, WHICH ARE USED TO LOCATE MISSING SENIORS OR INDIVIDUALS WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS LIKE DEMENTIA, WHO ARE ALSO AT RISK. 
          UH, EBONY ALERTS TO HELP LOCATE MISSING AFRICAN AMERICAN YOUTH AND YOUNG WOMEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12 AND 25. 
          THERE'S ALSO YELLOW ALERTS TO LOOK FOR VEHICLES INVOLVED, UH, IN HIT AND RUN CRASHES AND, AND BLUE ALERTS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING FOR VEHICLES INVOLVED, UH, IN, IN, UM, ASSAULTS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          MOVING ON TO OUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS CAMERAS. 
          UH, THESE ALSO SUPPORT REAL-TIME INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND AID IN OUR INVESTIGATIONS. 
          UH, THEY ALSO HELP WITH MISSING PERSONS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND APPREHENSIONS OF PERSONS OR VEHICLES ASSOCIATED WITH POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. 
          IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, THEY MONITOR HIGH TRAFFIC IN INTERSECTIONS, INCLUDING KEY INGRESS AND EGRESS POINTS TO THE CITY. 
          THEY ARE NOT USED FOR GENERALIZED SURVEILLANCE OF ANY TYPE OR MONITORING WITHOUT A LEGITIMATE LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE. 
          UTILIZATION OF SIT CAMS DATA IS FOR OFFICIAL AGENCY PURPOSE ONLY, AND, UH, WE ARE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF, UH, DPS POLICY AND PROCEDURE 5.26. 
          SO, DATA SECURITY FOR, UH, FOR THE FLOCK CAMERAS DATA IS 100% OWNED BY DPS. 
          IT'S OWNED BY THE CITY. 
          IT'S NEVER SOLD, UH, IT'S AUTO DELETED BY DEFAULT AFTER 30 DAYS. 
          UM, EVERY SEARCH IS LOGGED WITH A UNIQUE USER ID AND CASE REASON, AND THAT RESULTS IN A PERMANENT AUDIT TRAIL. 
          FLOCK HAS NO ACCESS TO, UH, PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. 
          UH, AND DPS WE DECIDE WHO WE SHARE THE DATA WITH. 
          UH, FLOCK DOESN'T DECIDE THAT WE REMAIN A HUNDRED PERCENT IN CONTROL WITH WHO WE SHARE OUR DATA WITH, AND WE SHARE OUR FLOCK DATA PER STATE LAW WITH, WITH CALIFORNIA AGENCIES ONLY. 
          [00:55:06]
SO, MOVING ON TO, UH, MORE FOR DATA SECURITY FOR FLOCK. 
          UM, THE CAMERAS THEMSELVES HAVE NO PUBLIC IP, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T BE, UH, ACCESSED REMOTELY. 
          THE DATA IS, UH, C JUST COMPLIANT. 
          AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S, UH, THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITH THE FBI'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM OR SERVICES. 
          AND IT'S A POLICY THAT REQUIRES STATE, FEDERAL, AND LOCAL ENTITIES TO IMPLEMENT SECURITY CONTROLS SUCH AS ENCRYPTION, MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION, AND AUDITING AND BACKGROUND CHECKS TO PROTECT DATA. 
          THE DATA THAT'S CAPTURED IS STORED ON AMAZON. 
          AMAZON WEB SERVICES GOVCLOUD, WITH END-TO-END ENCRYPTION FROM THE DEVICE ITSELF, WHICH MEANS THAT, UH, DURING TRANSMISSION TO THE CLOUD AND WHILE IT'S STORED IN THE CLOUD, IT'S PROTECTED AND ENCRYPTED BY DEFAULT. 
          THERE'S MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION, WHICH ADDS IN AN EXTRA LAYER OF USER VERIFICATION FOR SYSTEM ACCESS. 
          UM, EVERYBODY HAS A ROLE ASSIGNED ROLE IN THE SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT, UH, THAT THEY ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN ROLES OR CERTAIN PERMISSIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM. 
          UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, ONLY THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR OR DESIGNEE CAN APPROVE, UH, SHARING REQUESTS FROM OTHER AGENCIES. 
          AT DPS, THE, UH, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT ARE MYSELF, THE CAPTAIN, TWO LIEUTENANTS AND OUR CRIME ANALYSTS. 
          FLOCK ALSO HAS, UH, 10, UH, SECURITY CERTIFICATIONS INCLUDE, UH, CJIS AND LIKE I SAID, MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION AND ROLE-BASED ACCESS. 
          IN THE PAST YEAR, FLOCK'S TAKEN SEVERAL SAFETY MEASURES, UH, TO INCREASE, UM, UH, DATA PROTECTION. 
          THEY HAVE, UH, DEACTIVATED THE ABILITY FOR OUTSTATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO REQUEST DATA FROM CALIFORNIA AGENCIES. 
          THAT WAS DONE IN MARCH, 2025. 
          IN JULY, 2025, THEY CREATED A SEARCH FILTER THAT BLOCKS ANY SEARCH REASON APPEARING TO INCLUDE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OR REPRODUCTIVE CARE. 
          IT FLAGS IT. 
          AND THEN AUGUST OF 2025, THEY CREATED THE ABILITY TO AUDIT WHETHER OR NOT A SEARCH YIELDED ANY RESULTS, WHETHER IT YIELDED ANY RESULTS FROM OUR CAMERAS, WHEREAS BEFORE, IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT, THAT ABILITY. 
          MOVING ON TO LEGAL AND POLICY COMPLIANCE. 
          SO WE'RE, UH, UNDER COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AND OUR OWN POLICIES. 
          SO, UM, SB 34, UH, CAME OUT IN 2016. 
          IT PROHIBITS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN CALIFORNIA FROM SHARING A LPR INFORMATION WITH PRIVATE ENTITIES OUTTA STATE OR FEDERAL AGENCIES. 
          SB 54, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CALIFORNIA VALUES ACT IN 2018, RESTRICTS STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM USING RESOURCES, AND THAT INCLUDES TECHNOLOGY AND A APRS, UH, FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. 
          WE'RE UNDER THE, UH, THE OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF ALAMEDA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE POLICY AND PROCEDURE 5.42, WHICH GOVERNS, UH, USAGE DATA COLLECTION, TRAINING, AND SECURITY. 
          AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT, UH, ANY USER OF OUR A LPR SYSTEM HAS TO GO THROUGH TWO CERTIFICATION COURSES BEFORE THEY CAN USE THE SYSTEM. 
          AND AGAIN, FLOCK IS ALSO COMPLIANT WITH, UH, FBI'S, UH, C POLICY REQUIRING ENCRYPTION, MULTI-FACTOR ID AND AUTHENTICATION. 
          MOVING ON TO PEREGRINE. 
          SO PEREGRINE IS A, UH, WEB-BASED SOFTWARE THAT CONSOLIDATES EXISTING INFO, UH, SUCH AS INFO FROM OUR RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. 
          OUR DISPATCH, I MENTIONED CRIMS EARLIER. 
          THAT'S THE ALAMEDA COUNTY DATABASE INTO ONE SINGLE POINT OF ACCESS FOR ANALYSIS, REPORTING AND, UH, AND, UM, AND OVERSIGHT. 
          IT ALSO, UH, CONSOLIDATES, UM, OUR SYSTEM CALLED CROSSROADS, WHICH CONTAINS ALL OF OUR ACCIDENT DATA AND TICKET DATA. 
          SO ON A PREVIOUS MEETING, WE WERE DOING RESEARCH FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. 
          IT JUST MAKES IT QUICKER TO GET THE DATA. 
          SO THIS INFORMATION IS USED TO TRACK, UH, CRIME DATA. 
          UH, IT CAN ALSO, UH, PROVIDE, UM, ACTIONABLE, UH, INFORMATION FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION, BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND INCREASED, UH, SUSPECT IDENTIFICATION IS NOT PREDICTIVE POLICING. 
          UM, IT DOESN'T PROVIDE A RISK SCORE, UH, TARGETING OR AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT. 
          PEREGRINE DOES NOT TELL US WHAT TO DO. 
          IT JUST GIVES US INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE TO ACT UPON AS HUMANS. 
          AND THOSE DECISIONS ARE BASED UPON LAW. 
          THEY'RE BASED UPON POLICY. 
          SO IT DOESN'T TELL US WHAT TO DO. 
          ULTIMATELY, PEREGRINE TECHNOLOGIES HELPS AGENCIES MAKE THEIR OWN MORE INFORMED AND DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS IS WHAT IT DOES. 
          PEREGRINE DATA SECURITY, UH, THEY DO NOT INDEPENDENTLY COLLECT INFORMATION. 
          THE DATA, AGAIN, COMES FROM EXISTING LAW ENFORCEMENT DATABASES. 
          AGAIN, OUR DISPATCH SYSTEM, OUR RECORDS SYSTEM, IT PULLS INFORMATION FROM THERE INTO SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, WE CAN DIGEST AND UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT BETTER. 
          UM, DPS, THE CITY, WE OWN ALL THE DATA. 
          IT IS NOT SOLD OR SHARED. 
          IF DATA IS DELETED 
          [01:00:01]
OR UPDATED FROM A SOURCE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED OR UPDATED IN PEREGRINE. 
          SO IF WE DO A RECORDS PURGE FOR REPORTS THAT ARE NOT, UH, WE'RE NOT TO HANG ONTO ANYMORE, IT GETS DELETED IN PEREGRINE AS WELL. 
          THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SET UP. 
          PEREGRINE DOES NOT SELL OUR DATA. 
          THEY DON'T, WE USE IT FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE OR PROVIDED TO THIRD PARTIES ACCESS. 
          KINDA LIKE OUR FLOCK CAMERAS IS CONTROLLED BY THE AGENCY. 
          THE DATA IS, UH, CJIS COMPLIANT. 
          UM, AGAIN, THAT'S THEIR, THAT, THAT REQUIRES THE SPECIFIC SECURITY MEASURES. 
          UM, THEY HAVE ALSO ACHIEVED HIGH LEVEL CER SECURITY CERTIFICATIONS, INCLUDING FEDRAMP, WHICH STANDS FOR FEDERAL RISK AND AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. 
          FEDRAMP IS ONE OF THE MOST STRINGENT CYBERSECURITY SYSTEMS IN EXISTENCE. 
          IT PROVIDES THE STRONGEST PROTECTIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN NATIONAL SECURITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE DATA. 
          SO, AI FEATURES THAT ARE UTILIZED IN PEREGRINE, THEY ARE INFORMATIONAL ONLY. 
          UH, THEY DO NOT, AGAIN, INITIATE ANY SORT OF ENFORCEMENT ACTION FROM DPS. 
          THEY DON'T AUTOMATE OUR DECISIONS AND, UH, OR OPERATE WITHOUT HUMAN OVERSIGHT. 
          PEREGRINE ALSO DOES NOT BUILD OR TRAIN ITS OWN AI MODELS. 
          UH, THEY DO NOT USE CUSTOMER DATA TO TRAIN THEIR AI MODELS. 
          AND WHEN AI FEATURES ARE UTILIZED SUCH AS SUMMARIZATION OR REPORT ASSISTANCE, THEY RELY ON COMMERCIALLY, COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE BROADLY SCRUTINIZED MODELS WITHIN CJIS COMPLIANT ENVIRONMENTS. 
          SO I'M JUST GONNA GO OVER SOME GENERAL, UH, PRIVACY AND ANTI-BIAS SAFEGUARD. 
          THESE ARE, THESE ARE NOT SPECIFIC TO FLOCK, UH, OR, UM, PEREGRINE APPLIES TO BOTH. 
          SO ROLE-BASED ACCESS TO THE SYSTEMS. UH, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE USERNAME AND ID OR POLICIES FORBID, PEOPLE FROM SHARING THAT. 
          UM, FOR FULL AUDIT LOGGING, UH, DATA ENCRYPTION FOR BOTH. 
          AND THEN FOR, UM, THE FLOCK SYSTEMS. DATA IS DELETED AUTOMATICALLY AFTER 30 DAYS, UNLESS IT'S USED FOR AN INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSE. 
          HAS TO HAVE A REASON. 
          THEN IT GETS STORED IN OUR EVIDENCE SYSTEM FOR LATER ON. 
          SO IT DOESN'T GET DELETED. 
          THERE'S NO DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILING BY RACE, ETHNICITY, OR ANY OTHER PROTECTED CHARACTERISTIC. 
          UM, MONTHLY SUPERVISORY AUDITS, AGAIN, DEPARTMENT OF POLICY GOVERNS ALL, UH, DATA COLLECTION, INTERPRETATION AND ACTION. 
          KEEP THE HUMAN FACTOR IN THERE. 
          UM, THIS NEXT ONE'S MORE FOR, UH, PEREGRINE. 
          THE PLATFORM, UM, SUPPORTS TRANSPARENCY, AUDITING AND COMPLIANCE REPORTING. 
          WHEN WE DO OUR END OF THE YEAR STATISTICS, UM, THESE WERE GIVEN TO GIVE US A MUCH MORE ACCURATE SNAPSHOT OF THE CRIME OCCURRING IN DUBLIN. 
          AND AGAIN, REGULAR AUDITS ENSURE ADHERENCE TO POLICY AND LAW. 
          SO TO SUMMARIZE, UH, A LPR AND SIT CAMS HAVE BEEN IN USE SINCE 2017. 
          UH, FLOCK SAFETY AND PEREGRINE ARE NOW, UH, WHAT WE'RE USING TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY WITH STRONG PROTECTIONS OF DATA PRIVACY. 
          ALL SYSTEMS COMPLY WITH STATE LAW, SB 34, SB 54, AS WELL AS, UH, DUBLIN POLICY AND A CSO POLICIES. 
          AND, UH, DPS IS COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENT, LAWFUL, AND EQUITABLE USE OF PUBLIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'LL, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE STEVE COMES UP FOR HIS PART. 
          OKAY. 
          DO WE WANNA ASK QUESTIONS OR WE WANNA HOLD THEM UNTIL, UM, WE'RE DONE WITH THE WHOLE DATA REPORT. 
          YOU WANNA I'M FINE. 
          E EITHER WAY. 
          I'M ASKING. 
          I CAN WAIT UNTIL IF THERE'S ANOTHER PRESENTATION OR, YEAH, WHY DON'T WE HEAR THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE DATA, UM, PRESENTATION. 
          AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND ASK BOTH OF YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THAT WAS A VERY THOROUGH, UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. 
          STEVE WINDSOR, CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER WITH THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          IT, UM, I WAS HOPING THAT THE CHIEF WOULD DO HIS JOB AND, UH, WEAR YOU GUYS OUT, BUT HE DID. 
          . 
          WE SAVE, WE'RE SAVING OUR QUESTIONS FOR YOU. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA GO INTO THE, UH, BORING SECTION OF OUR PRESENTATION, WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN. 
          BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CYBERSECURITY, BORING IS BEAUTIFUL. 
          UM, CITY, IT FOLLOWS A NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY, NIST CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORK. 
          UH, THAT IS A BIG WAY OF SAYING, BASICALLY WHAT WE FOLLOW IS A FRAMEWORK THAT, UM, GUIDES US TO A PATH OF WHAT DO WE, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SECURE? HOW DO WE PROTECT IT? HOW DO WE KNOW IF SOMETHING'S BAD IS HAPPENING TO IT? WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THAT HAPPENS? AND HOW DO WE GET BACK TO NORMAL? UM, EVEN MORE SUCCINCTLY, WE KEEP BAD GUYS OUT. 
          UM, WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE BAD GUYS DO GET IN, AND THEN WE MAKE SURE WE LEARN FROM THAT, UH, AFTER THE FACT. 
          UM, IN DATA PROTECTION AND ENCRYPTION, WE USE STANDARD ENCRYPTION, UH, IN OUR DATA STORAGE WHEN IT'S AT REST AND DURING TRANSMISSION. 
          [01:05:01]
UM, ENCRYPTED BACKUPS ARE MAINTAINED SECURELY IN THE CLOUD, AND, UH, WE KEEP THOSE UP TO DATE. 
          UH, IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT, EVERYONE'S FAVORITE. 
          OUR SYSTEMS ARE ACCESSED THROUGH, UH, RESTRICTED, GRANULAR ROLE-BASED CONTROLS. 
          AND EVERYONE HAS TO USE MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION, WHICH MEANS PUNCH IN NUMBERS INTO BUTTONS AND, AND, UH, ANNOYING YOU WITH, UH, MULTIPLE WAYS TO LOG INTO SYSTEMS. EMPLOYEES ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR THEIR ROLE. 
          THAT'S A, A FRAMEWORK CALLED LEASE PRIVILEGE TO GET YOUR JOB DONE. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD, UH, OUR IS MANAGER CHRIS KNIGHT, TO GET ALL OF OUR CITY FACILITIES ON ELECTRONICALLY MANAGED AND MONITORED PHYSICAL ACCESS BADGING. 
          UM, I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES NOW HAVE, UH, BADGING ACCESS, WHERE WE SEE EVERYBODY GOING IN AND OUT OF THOSE, THOSE BUILDINGS. 
          ALONG WITH, UM, WE HAVE SITUATIONAL CAMERAS THAT ARE OWNED BY CITY IT, UH, THAT ARE NOT A PART OF THE, THE PDS SITUATIONAL CAMERAS, THAT ALL OF THOSE ARE ALSO MONITORED BY PD. 
          UM, BUT THEY COVER ALL OF OUR FACILITIES. 
          AND TO DATE, UH, ESPECIALLY AT THE WAVE, WE HAVE THWARTED MANY ATTEMPTS TO, UH, GET IN TO CITY FACILITIES. 
          UM, VERY EXPENSIVE BREAK-INS AT THE WAVE HAVE BEEN PREVENTED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. 
          UM, NETWORK AND THREAT PROTECTION. 
          WE USE ENTERPRISE LEVEL FIREWALLS TO PROTECT OUR NETWORKS FROM EXTERNAL THREATS. 
          UH, WE CONTRACT OUT WITH A SECURITY OPERATIONS, UH, CONTROL CENTER THAT DOES 24 BY SEVEN SECURITY OPERATION MONITORING THAT DETECT AND RESPOND TO THREATS IN REAL TIME AND INFORM US IF THEY DEEM IT NECESSARY. 
          UM, ALL CITY STAFF, UH, EQUIPMENT IS, UH, PRELOADED WITH MALWARE PROTECTION, UM, BY POLICY. 
          SO WHEN PEOPLE TURN ON THEIR COMPUTERS, THEY ALREADY HAVE MALWARE PROTECTION ON THEM. 
          IT'S NOTHING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO. 
          IT'S, IT'S MAINTAINED AUTOMATICALLY. 
          UM, MONITORING AND LOGGING ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS, UH, LIKE AS I PREVIOUSLY SAID, ARE CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED BY AN OFFSITE COMPANY, BUT ALSO WE USE CENTRALIZED LOGGING AND ALERTING TO IDENTIFY ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR IN ALL THOSE SYSTEMS WHERE ALL THE SYSTEMS CENTRALLY SEND THEIR LOGS IN. 
          AND THOSE LOGS ARE PARSED TO SEE IF THERE'S ABNORMAL ACTIVITY ON THE, ON ANY SYSTEMS. AND THEN WE GET NOTIFIED. 
          UM, OUR INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN IS TESTED ANNUALLY AT THE TABLETOP EXERCISE THAT WE CONDUCTED. 
          THE EOC, UH, ALL OF THE, THE, THAT IS COORDINATED WITH IT, POLICE, LEGAL, AND ALL THE OTHER CITY DEPARTMENT HEADS. 
          UM, TRANSPARENCY AND PRIVACY IS, UM, GUARDED THROUGH, UH, THE, THE PRA SYSTEM. 
          WHEN PEOPLE REQUEST DATA FROM US, UH, THERE'S A PROCESS THAT GOES THROUGH WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND REDACTION TAKES PLACE. 
          UM, IT'S APPLIED TO PUBLIC RECORDS THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO SEE PIECES OF IT. 
          WE REDACT THOSE PIECES. 
          UM, AND ALL OF THAT, UH, COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL PRIVACY LAWS. 
          OUR EMPLOYEE TRAINING, WHICH IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE MANDATORY YEARLY, UH, SECURITY TRAINING, UM, WE'VE TAKEN BACK IN-HOUSE AND TRIED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE FUN. 
          LAST YEAR WE HAD, UH, BIGFOOT, UH, AI VIDEO CYBERSECURITY TRAINING, UM, WHICH HELPED KEEP, KEEP PEOPLE A LITTLE BIT MORE ENGAGED IN LEARNING ABOUT HOW TO SECURE THEMSELVES. 
          UH, BUT WE DO ONGOING PHISHING SIMULATION TESTING INTO PEOPLE'S INBOXES. 
          UH, THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, UM, MORE AWARENESS BY OUR STAFF IN TERMS OF WHAT PHISHING, UM, EVENTS TO LOOK FOR, WHAT THEY SHOULD DO WHEN THEY SUSPECT, UH, EMAILS OF BEING PHISHING ATTEMPTS. 
          AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY THWARTED, UM, QUITE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO GET CITY DATA FROM, ESPECIALLY FINANCE DEPARTMENT PEOPLE WHO WILL GET PHISHING EMAILS SAYING, WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR, OUR, UH, OUR ACCOUNT NUMBER THAT YOU PUT MONEY INTO, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, THAT TRAINING HAS REDUCED WHAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ATTACK VECTOR THERE IS, WHICH IS HUMAN ERROR, UH, BECAUSE WE CAN, WE CAN CONTROL THE OUTSIDE QUITE A BIT, UM, THROUGH FIREWALLS AND TECHNOLOGY FROM THE IT DEPARTMENT'S PERSPECTIVE. 
          BUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP, UM, ATTACKERS THAT SEND IN EMAILS AND PEOPLE CLICK THEM AND GIVE UP THEIR CREDENTIALS. 
          [01:10:01]
'CAUSE ONCE THAT YOU'RE BEHIND THE VEIL, AND, AND THEN THEY CAN GO FROM THERE. 
          SO WE DO A LOT OF TRAINING WITH STAFF ON THAT. 
          UM, VENDOR RISK MANAGEMENT. 
          WHENEVER WE GET INTO CONTRACTS WITH THIRD PARTY VENDORS, WE DO A SECURITY REVIEW AND WE HAVE CONTRACTUAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE, THAT WE PUT INTO THE CONTRACT, UM, BEFORE THEY'RE, BEFORE WE ENGAGE WITH THEM. 
          AND THOSE INCLUDE THINGS LIKE, THEY NEED TO BE IN US DATA CENTERS. 
          UH, THEY NEED TO, THERE'S A REQUIREMENT FOR INFORMING US ANY TIME, UH, IN A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THEY HAVE A MATERIAL BREACH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          UM, I WANTED TO KEEP THIS VERY STRATEGIC LEVEL AND NOT TACTICAL LEVEL BECAUSE THE MORE WE GIVE UP IN, IN A, IN A PUBLIC SETTING OF EXACTLY THE THINGS WE USE AND DO, THE EASIER IT IS FOR SOMEBODY ON THE OUTSIDE TO SAY, OH, I KNOW HOW TO GO AND, AND ATTACK THAT STUFF. 
          SO IF ANY, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE DEEP DIVE IN THAT HAS SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE USE, I'M HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND GO THROUGH 'EM. 
          UM, I'D, I'D RATHER NOT DO THAT PUBLICLY BECAUSE IT HELPS KEEP US A LITTLE MORE OBSCURE FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO DO HARM. 
          UM, AND WE'RE BACK TO THE QUESTIONS SECTION. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UM, DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR EITHER ONE OF OUR, UM, DEPARTMENTS? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU WANNA GO FIRST SINCE YOU SURE. 
          A QUESTION, ACTUALLY, I ACTUALLY ACTUALLY HAVE, UH, ONE QUESTION. 
          I'M, I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH, UM, THE SOLID, UH, PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES THAT YOU'VE PUT IN PLACE AND GIVING US AT LEAST A GOOD, GOOD OVERVIEW OF THAT. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS, WITHOUT GOING INTO A LOT OF DETAIL, I JUST WANNA GET AN IDEA ABOUT FREQUENCY OF AUDITS, AUDITS, CHARACTERIZATIONS OF AUDITS, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR THESE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. UH, IT'S, IT'S ALWAYS AN ONGOING EFFORT, UH, FOR OVERSIGHT. 
          BUT, UH, DO YOU HAVE A, A STANDARD, UH, UH, AUDIT AUDIT, UM, CALENDAR OR, AND, AND WITHOUT GOING INTO A LOT OF DETAILS, I CAN IMAGINE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'RE LOOKING AT. 
          SO, UM, CURRENTLY WE, WE HAVE HAD A CONTRACT WITH OUR CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT COMPANY WITH THEIR THIRD PARTY, WHICH DID QUARTERLY PENETRATION TESTING OF OUR SYSTEMS. AND WE CAME OUT, UM, VERY WELL IN THOSE, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE HAD THOSE DONE QUARTERLY WHERE THEY BASICALLY INTERROGATE ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING FOR COMMON VECTORS TO ATTACK US. 
          AND WE'VE SCORED VERY HIGH WITH THAT, WITH, WITH THOSE PROCESSES. 
          UM, FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS ANNUALLY WHEN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, UH, HAS THEIR AUDIT, WE GO THROUGH AN AUDIT IN THE IT DEPARTMENT AS WELL, WHERE WE FILL OUT, UM, ALL OF THE FORMS FOR THAT AUDIT COMPANY THAT HAVE TO DO WITH CYBERSECURITY, UM, RETENTION OF DATA, UH, SECURITY OF DATA, PASSWORDS, UH, THERE, THERE'S A LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S AN ANNUAL PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH. 
          AND THE QUARTERLY PROCESS WE GO THROUGH IS THROUGH THE CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND THEIR PARTNER WHO DOES OUTSIDE IN TESTING WITH US. 
          UH, IN ADDITION, WE AUDIT OUR, OUR ACTIVE DIRECTORY, UM, USER, UH, ACCOUNTS ON A QUARTERLY BASIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PURGING PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT ACCOUNTS WE NO LONGER USE. 
          UM, THERE'S AUTOMATIC, UH, THERE'S AUTOMATIC PROCESSES THAT RUN THAT, THAT LOOK FOR ACCOUNTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE DEAD WHO HAVEN'T LOGGED IN MAYBE IN 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS, 90 DAYS. 
          SO THAT, SO THAT WE GET A LIST OF THAT AND THEN GO BACK AND SEE IF THOSE ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTS ARE ONE OF THE WAYS USER ACCOUNTS ARE ONE OF THE EASIER WAYS TO GET IN AND REALLY WREAK HAVOC. 
          SO THAT'S ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE DO, WHICH IS ACTIVE DIRECTORY AUDITING QUARTERLY. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, THAT'S A PERFECT ANSWER FOR WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. 
          ARE THERE ANY, UH, BESIDES THE CONTRACTOR, UH, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STATE LAW AND STATE COMPLIANCE, ARE THERE ANY EXTERNAL AGENCIES THAT, THAT COME IN AND AUDIT YOUR SYSTEMS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE? NO. 
          IS THAT A REQUIREMENT AT ALL? NO. 
          THE, THE, THE MAIN REQUIREMENT IS WHOMEVER IS DOING CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT AND WHOMEVER IS DOING OUR, UH, FINANCE DEPARTMENT'S AUDIT. 
          SO IT'S INTERNAL. 
          THOSE ARE THEIR, THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO INCLUDE CYBERSECURITY WITH THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. 
          YOU WERE GONNA SAY SOMETHING. 
          THEY, THEY'RE, UH, EXTERNAL COMPANIES THAT DO THAT WORK. 
          SO IT'S NOT AN INTERNAL AUDIT THAT THOSE PIECES ARE DONE BY EXTERNAL COMPANIES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I WAS ALSO PUSHING IT BEYOND THAT BOUNDARY TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE, WERE ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WERE ENFORCING AND, UH, REVIEWING AT THIS POINT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, CHIEF BOX, DO YOU WANNA ANSWER THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT THE TYPES OF AUDITS? THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SINCE I KNOW I, I ASKED YOU TO DEFERRED AND THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS, . 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          SO, UM, SO OUR POLICY STATES FOR LIKE ELPR 
          [01:15:01]
DATA, UH, WE'LL DO LIKE SEMI-ANNUAL AUDITS. 
          SO I DIRECTED MY STAFF LAST YEAR TO DO IT MONTHLY. 
          UM, AND WHAT WE DO IS WE AUDIT ORGANIZATIONAL DATA. 
          WHO'S USING THE SYSTEM? WE'RE AUDITING THE SEARCH REASONS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE LEGITIMATE, UM, SEARCH REASONS. 
          'CAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING IN THERE WHEN YOU SEARCH, UH, SEARCH FOR THE DATA. 
          UM, WE ALSO SEARCH, UM, OUR NETWORK TO SEE WHO'S ACCESSING OUR CAMERAS, THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES THAT'S BEING DONE MONTHLY. 
          UM, IT'S NOT A PUBLIC DOCUMENT. 
          UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I AM GONNA DO WITH FLOCK, I DIRECTED STAFF, IS FLOCK HAS A TRANSPARENCY PORTAL, AND WE COULD PUT A LINK ON OUR WEBSITE AND, UH, USERS CAN CLICK ON THE, UH, ON THE LINK AND THEY CAN SEE WHAT OUR POLICIES ARE. 
          THEY CAN SEE HOW MANY CAMERAS WE HAVE, AND THEY CAN SEE EVERY AGENCY THAT WE'RE SHARING DATA WITH. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE SHARING OUR DATA WITH CALIFORNIA AGENCIES. 
          SO THAT'S COMING SOON. 
          UH, BUT AGAIN, THE AUDITS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW ARE THE MONTHLY AUDITS FOR THE, UM, THE FLOCK SYSTEM. 
          OKAY. 
          DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? THAT ANSWERS IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS? I DO. 
          UM, I GUESS I'LL START WITH YOU, CHIEF FOX. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, UM, WITH, WITH FLOCK. 
          UM, UH, I AM YOU WERE MENTIONING PERSONAL, PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IS, IS OBSCURED. 
          UM, DOES THAT INCLUDE FACES? YEAH, SO WE DON'T USE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. 
          UM, AND, AND, AND THE, THE CALIFORNIA, THE CIVIL CODE IDENTIFIES, UH, UH, PII PERSONAL IDENT INFORMATION IS BASICALLY A FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, OR A FIRST INITIAL LAST NAME. 
          ELPR. 
          DOESN'T, DATA DOESN'T GIVE YOU THAT. 
          A LPR DATA GIVES YOU A TIMESTAMPED IMAGE, UM, OF THE REAR PART OF A VEHICLE ONLY. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          WE DON'T USE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SECOND QUESTION IS, UH, ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VIDEOS FLOATING AROUND WITH, UH, HACKING ON FLOCK CAMERAS IN PARTICULAR. 
          COULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT OUR APPROACHES IN, IN PREVENTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM HAPPENING? FOR, FOR THAT? I AM, THAT'S A QUESTION. 
          I'M NOT SURE. 
          I DO HAVE A FLOCK REPRESENTATIVE ON THE LINE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO, TO ANSWER THAT. 
          UH, KRISTA MCLEOD FROM FLOCK? YES. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          UM, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          KRISTEN MCLEOD, SENIOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS MANAGER WITH FLOCK SAFETY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. 
          UM, SO WITH REGARD TO THOSE, UH, POSTS ABOUT FLOCK BEING HACKED, FIRST AND FOREMOST, FLOCK HAS NEVER BEEN HACKED. 
          UM, THERE OUR SYSTEM IS ARCHITECTED WITH MULTIPLE LAYERS OF SECURITY TO PREVENT VULNERABILITIES. 
          UM, FIRST, OUR CAMERAS DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC IP ADDRESS AND ARE NOT ADDRESSABLE FROM OPEN INTERNET TO ACCESS FOOTAGE. 
          UM, AS CHIEF MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, ALL DATA IS A ES 2 56 ENCRYPTED END-TO-END IN TRANSIT AT REST USING INDUSTRY STANDARD PROTOCOLS. 
          UM, WE HAVE OUR MULTI MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION BY DEFAULT. 
          UM, WE REGULARLY WORK WITH THIRD PARTY SECURITY FIRMS TO CONDUCT FULL STACK PENETRATION TESTING OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. 
          AND OF NOTE WITH A LOT OF THOSE VIDEOS, UM, THEY'RE DESCRIBING SITUATIONS AND VULNERABILITIES THAT ARE AKIN TO AN IPHONE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, NOT, UM, CONNECTED TO A SYSTEM. 
          SO A LOT OF MISLEADING INFORMATION AND CONFLATED MIS UM, CONFLATED INFORMATION. 
          UM, BUT TO ASSURE YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, FLOCK IS COMMITTED TO DATA SECURITY, WE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO, UM, YOU KNOW, IDENTIFYING INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM SUCH AS NAMES, ADDRESSES, ET CETERA. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UH, THE SAME SECURITY PROTOCOL, DOES THAT APPLY FOR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN FLOCK CAMERAS, NOT THE ONES THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY? YES, ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I WOULD LIKE TO TO POINT OUT THAT WITH REGARD TO THOSE PRIVATE CAMERA NETWORKS, THEY CAN SHARE CAMERA NETWORK DATA WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT IT'S ONLY ONE WAY. 
          OUR PRIVATE CUSTOMERS WOULD NEVER HAVE ACCESS TO A CITY CAMERA NETWORK, NOR WOULD THEY EVER HAVE ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT HOT LIST INFORMATION. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND THEN, UH, THIRD QUESTION, UH, IS I KNOW QUITE A FEW OTHER CITIES HAVE, HAVE PULLED FLOCK CAMERAS. 
          UM, AND, AND, UH, I KNOW I'VE RECEIVED A FEW EMAILS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. 
          UH, I GUESS ANY BACKGROUND, ANY CONTEXT THAT YOU COULD OFFER IN TERMS OF WHY THE, THOSE OTHER CITIES DECIDED TO, UH, TO STOP USING FLOCK CAMERAS? YES. 
          SO THERE HAVE BEEN, UM, RELATIVE TO OUR, OUR CUSTOMER BASE NATIONWIDE, UM, A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CITIES THAT HAVE STOPPED, UM, THEIR 
          [01:20:01]
SERVICES WITH FLOCK. 
          AND WE'RE SEEING THAT KIND OF WITH, UH, CONCERNS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, UM, NOT QUITE UNDERSTANDING HOW OUR SYSTEM WORKS, MISINFORMATION THAT IS OUT THERE ABOUT HOW, UM, DEPARTMENTS ARE UTILIZING THE LPR SYSTEM, THE SAFEGUARDS THAT ARE IN PLACE, UM, CITIES ARE, ARE CHOOSING TO END THEIR CONTRACT, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, WE RESPECT THOSE DECISIONS IN A LOT OF THOSE INSTANCES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DATA SECURITY PROTOCOLS THAT ARE IN PLACE, HOW DEPARTMENT POLICIES FURTHER STRENGTHENS THOSE SAFEGUARDS, AS WELL AS OUR COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING COMPLIANCE. 
          UM, WE'VE IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL COMPLIANCE FEATURES, UM, IN TO ADDRESS MANY CONCERNS, INCLUDING IN, UH, IMMIGRATION, ENFOR ENFORCEMENT SEARCH FILTER, WHICH CHIEF HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, WHICH COMMUNITIES CAN IMPLEMENT TO BLOCK ANY SORT OF SEARCH RELATED TO IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. 
          WE HAVE MADE SURE THAT IF FEDERAL AGENCIES THAT ARE FLOCK CUSTOMERS, UM, IF THAT, IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE SYSTEM THAT IT IS A FEDERAL AGENCY THAT MAY REACH OUT TO A LOCAL DEPARTMENT TO REQUEST ACCESS TO THEIR CAMERA, UH, NETWORK. 
          THAT IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE SYSTEM, UM, THAT IT IS A FEDERAL AGENCY CHIEF MENTIONED WITH CALIFORNIA. 
          THERE, UM, IS NO DATA SHARING CAPABILITY WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES AS WELL AS OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A CONTRACT WITH DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY OR ANY OF ITS ENTITIES INCLUDING ICE OR CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL. 
          AND SO THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS TO THE FLOCK SYSTEM BY THOSE ENTITIES. 
          AND FLOCK IS, AGAIN, COMMITTED TO CONTINUE, UH, TO ADD COMPLIANCE FEATURES TO SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES BEING ABLE TO USE THIS CRITICAL TOOL, UM, TO IMPACT PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT IN A WAY THAT'S IN ALIGNMENT WITH STATE REGULATIONS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY VALUES. 
          UM, DID YOU WANT TO HAVE THE CHIEF ANSWER THAT SAME QUESTION OR DID YOU GET ENOUGH INFORMATION? SURE. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, IF, YEAH. 
          SO, SO ESSENTIALLY, UM, IN DECEMBER OF THIS OF LAST YEAR, UM, WE FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE ONE OF 75 AGENCIES IN CALIFORNIA THAT, UM, HAD DATA ACCESS FROM OUTTA STATE. 
          UH, AND IT WAS DONE BECAUSE THERE WAS A, WHAT'S CALLED A NATIONAL LOOKUP TOOL WHERE AGENCIES CAN LOOK UP DATA ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. 
          UNBEKNOWNST TO US, IT WAS, IT WAS ENABLED WHEN OUR CAMERA WAS TURNED ON. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE FIGURED OUT. 
          SO AS SUCH, UM, THERE WAS THREE SEARCHES THAT TOOK PLACE. 
          ONE IN FLORIDA, ONE IN ALABAMA, AND ONE IN ILLINOIS. 
          WERE, UM, A LICENSE PLATE WAS SEARCHED, AND IT HAD A REASON, UM, RELATED TO IMMIGRATION STUFF. 
          SO IT WAS ALLEGED THAT WE HAD A DATA BREACH AND WE VIOLATED SB 34 AND SB 54. 
          UM, WHEN WE LOOKED IN THE SYSTEM, WE CONFIRMED THAT THOSE SEARCHES TOOK PLACE, BUT WHAT WE COULDN'T VERIFY, AND IT'S ONE OF THE REFORMS THAT FLOCK'S TAKEN, WE COULDN'T CONFIRM OR DENY THAT ANY OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SEARCHED. 
          AGAIN, IT WAS SEARCHED ACROSS 6,000 AGENCIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, IF ANY OF THE FIVE CAMERAS WE HAD ACTIVATED IN DUBLIN AT THE TIME, IF ANY DATA CAME FROM THERE, COULDN'T CONFIRM OR DENY THAT WE ALSO COULDN'T CONFIRM THAT THERE WAS A DATA BREACH. 
          UM, A LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO CITY COUNCIL SAID THAT WE HAD A DATA BREACH, BUT PER THE CIVIL CODE PER LAW, THERE WAS, THERE WAS A, THERE WAS INFORMATION THAT WAS OMITTED, I THINK, FOR INCENDIARY EFFECT. 
          UH, BECAUSE FOR A DATA BREACH TO OCCUR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. 
          AGAIN, A FIRST INITIAL LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, IN COMBINATION WITH SEVERAL, UH, ONE OF SEVERAL OTHER, UM, THINGS, SOCIAL SECURITY, BANKING INFORMATION, HEALTH INFORMATION, OR INFORMATION TRANSMITTED ACROSS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT DATABASE. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOTH OF 'EM. 
          IT CAN'T BE ONE OR THE OTHER. 
          SO NO DOUBT, NO DATA BREACH OCCURRED. 
          NOW, SINCE THEN, FLOCK HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MEASURES THAT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO SHARE INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN'T, UH, SEARCH OUR SYSTEMS, AND WE WOULDN'T, EVEN IF IT WAS ALLOWED, IT, IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE THEY WON'T SHARE DATA WITH US UNLESS WE SHARE IT WITH THEM, BUT WE'RE PROHIBITED BY LAW. 
          SO WE WERE NOT GONNA SHARE INFORMATION WITH THEM. 
          UM, THERE'S AUDITS THAT TAKE PLACE. 
          IT PREVENTS US FROM, UH, FROM EVEN DOING THOSE SEARCHES. 
          IT FLAGS IT. 
          SO THOSE MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE. 
          UH, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, IT DID OCCUR. 
          UM, I, I BELIEVE FLOCK HAS TAKEN MEASURES TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BEEN FIXED. 
          AND, UH, WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND OUR POLICIES FOLLOW THAT. 
          GOT IT. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, I'VE GOT TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU, STEVE, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          UM, 
          [01:25:05]
FIRST, FIRST QUESTION, UM, THANK YOU FOR, FOR RUNNING THROUGH THE, UH, THE, THE PROTOCOLS, UM, SPECIFICALLY AROUND DISASTER RECOVERY AND YOUR DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN. 
          UM, I, I'M ASSUMING YOU HAVE LIKE AN R-T-O-R-P-O, LIKE THE RECOVERY TIME METRIC AND, AND, UH, RECOVERY POINT OBJECTIVES? SO WE, WE DON'T HAVE THOSE PER SE. 
          UH, WHAT WE DO HAVE IS AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN THAT TELLS US WHAT TO DO IN, IN TERMS OF WHO GETS NOTIFIED AND WHEN THEY GET NOTIFIED UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES THEY GET NOTIFIED, AND HOW WE ESCALATE THAT THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          SO NO, NO TWO INCIDENTS WOULD BE THE SAME, AND THE RECOVERY FROM THEM WILL ALWAYS BE DIFFERENT. 
          UM, I, I, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, WE COULD TALK OFFLINE, UM, BUT FROM THE, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF HOW, HOW QUICKLY IT WOULD TAKE US TO RECOVER, IT DEPENDS ON THE INCIDENT. 
          OKAY, FAIR ENOUGH. 
          UM, AND THEN ON THE COMMUNICATION SIDE, IF THERE WERE, UH, SOME SORT OF A DATA BREACH OR CYBERSECURITY HACK THREAT, WHATEVER, UM, TO, TO MANIFEST ITSELF, HOW WOULD THAT POTENTIALLY BE COMMUNICATED TO THE, TO THE PUBLIC? SO OUR JOB IN IT IS TO NOTIFY THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE OF A BREACH AND LEGAL OF A BREACH. 
          AND THEIR JOB IS TO DECIDE WHEN IT'S MATERIAL TO THE PUBLIC. 
          I'LL PROVIDE THEM AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN ABOUT THE BREACH AND WHAT, WHAT DATA WAS, WAS BREACHED. 
          BUT IT IS UP TO THEM AND, AND EITHER A PIO OR THE MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT TO DECIDE WHEN THEY NOTIFY THE PUBLIC. 
          GOT IT. 
          AND SO I GUESS, UH, CITY MANAGER, IF, IF THERE WERE SOME SORT OF A BREACH, IT WOULD BE THE NORMAL CHANNELS, I'M ASSUMING EMAIL, DUBLIN DIGEST TYPE WEBSITE TYPE, UH, CORRECT VENUES? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS IT. 
          AND IF I CAN TAG ONTO THAT, IF ANY ACTUAL PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WAS, UM, OBTAINED FROM A BREACH TO THE CITY SYSTEMS, I'M ASSUMING THAT WE WOULDN'T NOT JUST PUT OUT A BLAST, WE WOULD NOTIFY ANY, UM, PEOPLE DIRECTLY AFFECTED, CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND THERE ARE, THERE ARE LAWS AROUND THAT, CORRECT, JOHN? THERE ARE INDEED MANY FEDERAL LAWS. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO, MAYOR, WHO DO YOU HAVE? ARE YOU STILL WITH US? DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? THANK YOU. 
          UM, SO I ACTUALLY, UM, CHIEF FOX ALREADY ANSWERED PART OF MY QUESTIONS. 
          SO MY QUESTION IS, ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL, UM, LIKE THOSE KIND OF ACCIDENTS, EITHER DATA BREACH, UH, PRIVACY INFORMATION LEAKED, OR SOME CYBERSECURITY SITUATION HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED IN THE PAST, OR HAVE YOU KNOWN ANYTHING HAPPENED IN OUR, LIKE NEIGHBORING CITIES OR SOMEPLACE, UM, IN CALIFORNIA THAT GAVE US SOME WARNINGS? UM, SAME QUESTION TO STEVE TOO. 
          LIKE ANYTHING HAPPENED IN THE CITIES, UM, PAST THE HISTORY AND ANY SITUATIONS, UH, GAVE US SOME WARNINGS. 
          I'M, I'M GONNA DEFER TO YOU ON, ON WHAT YOU WANNA, UH, I'M NOT SURE HOW, HOW MUCH IN DETAIL WE WANT GO. 
          WE HAD, UH, AN INCIDENT THAT YOU COULD PROBABLY DESCRIBE, UH, VERY GENERALLY, MAYBE FIVE, SIX YEARS AGO. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, DO YOU WANNA DESCRIBE GENERALLY HAPPENED? I WILL DO THAT. 
          UM, WE HAD A MATERIAL SECURITY BREACH ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, 2021, WHERE WE, UH, GOT SOME OF OUR DATA ENCRYPTED, UH, BY AN OUTSIDE AGENCY. 
          BUT THEY, THEY WENT AFTER THE WRONG STUFF, AND ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES WORKED, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THEM OUT BEFORE THEY ACCESSED ANYTHING OF MATERIAL WORTH. 
          SO IT WAS BASICALLY, UM, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE, WE KICKED IN THE PROCESS TO, TO REMOVE THEM. 
          WE, WE GOT THEM SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCESS ANY MATERIAL DATA. 
          UH, SO THAT, THAT IN AND OF ITSELF, THE SYSTEM WORKED DURING, DURING THAT, UH, BREACH WITH, IF YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT CITIES AROUND US, THERE ARE BREACHES EVERYWHERE IN ALL KINDS OF CITIES IN THE BAY AREA ALL THE TIME. 
          UM, AND WE WATCH THOSE AND SEE HOW THEY REACT AND TALK TO THEIR PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THEY DID AND WHAT THEY DID WRONG, UM, TO IMPROVE OURSELVES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CHIEF, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD ON THAT QUESTION? OH, THAT ONE, NO. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, MAYOR? NO, NO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, UM, MOSTLY FOR, UM, CHIEF, BUT STEVE, WHILE YOU'RE AT THE MICROPHONE, I'LL HAVE ONE. 
          I HAVE ONE FOR YOU. 
          AND THAT IS, UM, UH, TRAINING FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE, UH, HAVE IDS BUT ARE NOT STAFFED. 
          I, I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO ASK THAT. 
          , UH, I, I OWE YOU A, A, UH, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 
          [01:30:01]
TRAINING SESSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I, WELL, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK IT'S NECESSARY. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, PROBABLY GIVEN THAT HUMAN ERROR IS THE, THE MORE, MOST LIKELY WAY THAT WE GET, UM, BREACHED, I THINK A, A REGULAR CADENCE OF TRAINING US AS WELL, MY STAFF AND THE CONSENSUS IS, IS GONNA BE VERY DIFFICULT TO TRAIN YOU GUYS. 
          AND WE'RE NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT YET. 
          SOME OF US ARE HARDER TO TRAIN THAN OTHERS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. 
          UM, CHIEF, I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS. 
          MANY OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN ASKED, BUT, UM, ONE THAT HASN'T QUITE BEEN COVERED YET IS, UM, HOW STRICTLY WE SCRUTINIZE THE, UM, THE REQUESTS THAT COME IN FROM ADDIT FROM OTHER CALIFORNIA AGENCIES. 
          I KNOW YOU SAID THAT, UM, THERE'S REALLY ONLY FIVE PEOPLE, I THINK YOU MENTIONED, THAT, UM, CAN CORRECT GRANT THOSE REQUESTS. 
          AND, UM, NONE OF THAT IS DONE AUTOMATED. 
          IT'S A, A PERSON HAS TO ACTUALLY READ THE REQUEST AND, AND DO WE DO THE SEARCH OR DO WE GRANT THE SEARCH PERMISSION? SO THE WAY IT WORKS, UM, THERE'S REALLY NO RULES AROUND WHO WE CAN GRANT ACCESS TO AS LONG AS IT'S NOT OUTTA STATE OR FEDERAL MM-HMM . 
          THINGS I MENTIONED TODAY. 
          SO OUR DEFAULT SETTINGS IN OUR SYSTEM, UM, REQUIRE AN AGENCY IN CALIFORNIA, LET'S JUST SAY SAN DIEGO. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, THEY SEND US A REQUEST. 
          UH, WE HAVE TO REVIEW THE REQUEST AND GRANT IT, AND THEN WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHICH CAMERAS WE'RE GONNA GIVE THEM ACCESS TO. 
          UM, I THINK THERE IS A STATEWIDE, UH, SEARCH TOOL, WHICH, UH, SUB AGENCIES JUST LEAVE IT OPEN AND YOU CAN JUST FOLLOW 'EM, LIKE YOU FOLLOW SOMEONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          WE ACTUALLY REVIEW, UM, EVERY REQUEST AND THEN GRANT THEM INDIVIDUALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO, UH, WE DON'T SEARCH FOR THEM. 
          WE GRANT THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEARCH OUR CAMERAS. 
          WE CAN SEARCH OTHER AGENCIES AND, UH, AND, AND REQUEST TO GET THEIR INFORMATION. 
          BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE GRANT THEM OUR STUFF. 
          THEY DO THE SAME IN RETURN. 
          I UNDERSTAND. 
          THE, THE QUESTION I WAS REALLY ASKING WAS, UM, WHO PHYSICALLY SEARCHES OUR DATA? WHEN WE GET A REQUEST FROM THE OUTSIDE, DO THEY, WE DO THE, WE GET THEM ACCESS TO SEARCH OUR DATA? OR DO WE SEARCH ON THEIR BEHALF AND GIVE THEM THE RESULTS? NO, THEY, THEY GIVE US, THEY GIVE US A REQUEST AND WE DETERMINE THAT THEY'RE A STATE AGENCY MM-HMM . 
          UH, AND THEY'RE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO VIEW OUR DATA, AND WE JUST GRANT THEM ACCESS TO OUR DATA. 
          OKAY. 
          AND AGAIN, WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT CAMERAS THEY HAVE ACCESS TO, AND WE HAVE AN AUDIT TRAIL OF WHAT THEY ACTUALLY LOOKED FOR AND WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FOUND AS WELL. 
          CORRECT. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND HOW OFTEN IS THAT DATA AUDITED? UH, SO LIKE I SAID, WE, WE DO THE MONTHLY AUDITS, UH, WHERE WE DETERMINE, UM, WHAT OUR, WHAT OUR FOLKS ARE DOING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SEARCH REASONS, AND WE CAN DETERMINE METRICS AND CONNECTIVITY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WE, WE, UM, AUDIT THE OUTSIDE SEARCHES AS, AS FREQUENTLY. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, SINCE IT'S, SINCE WE HAVE TO REVIEW IT, I'M ASSUMING SINCE, YOU KNOW, MARCH THE, WE'RE REVIEWING THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, IN DETAIL, BECAUSE THE, THE THREE THAT I SAW THAT ENDED UP AS OUTSIDE SEARCHES, THE REASONS GIVEN WERE PRETTY, UM, VAGUE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, ARE WE, HOW CLOSELY ARE WE SCRUTINIZING THOSE REASONS THAT ARE COMING IN? UH, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, WE'RE JUST, WE'RE SEARCHING, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A CASE NUMBER OR SEARCH REASON. 
          AND, UM, I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, WHO'S ACCESSING OUR DATA AND WHAT, WHAT, WHAT THE REASONS ARE FOR, UM, THE MAIN THING IS THAT WE, WE, UH, ASIDE FROM THE SEARCH REASONS, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT SHARING OUR DATA WITH ANYBODY OUTTA THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THEY HAVE TO BE WITHIN THE STATE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO AGAIN, THOSE, THOSE THINGS ARE BEING AUDITED EVERY MONTH. 
          AND AGAIN, UM, WE'RE PUSHING FOR A TRANSPARENCY PORTAL THAT'S GONNA SHOW THAT DATA, THE METRICS WHO WE'RE SHARING THE DATA WITH HOW MANY CAMERAS MM-HMM . 
          SO THE PUBLIC CAN VIEW IT. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE REASON I'M ASKING SUCH DETAILED QUESTIONS IS ANECDOTALLY, UM, WHETHER IT'S TRUE OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW, BUT CERTAINLY ANECDOTALLY AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE ARE, THERE ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW, UM, PARTICULARLY, UH, STATE AGENCIES THAT ARE ON THE BORDER, PERHAPS, UM, OR WHERE THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, UM, HAVE A SISTER CITY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STATE LINE, UM, SEARCHING OUR DATA AND THEN PROVIDING THAT THOSE ANSWERS TO, UM, SOMEBODY OUT OF STATE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, DO WE HAVE ANY WAY TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING? I DON'T THERE'S ANY WAY TO PREVENT IT. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, IS IF THEY'RE IN STATE, YOU KNOW, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE SHARING WITH THE STATE AGENCY, WHICH IS PERMISSIBLE BY LAW. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SURE. 
          UM, I, I HAVEN'T HEARD WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE, YOU WERE JUST DISCUSSING. 
          OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND THEN, UM, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE DENIED ANOTHER AGENCY FROM I ASKED THAT QUESTION TODAY. 
          UH, AND I DON'T THINK WE'VE DENIED ANYBODY THAT'S, 'CAUSE THE REQUESTS WE'VE GOTTEN HAVE ALL BEEN LEGITIMATE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AGENCIES. 
          UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS OF TODAY, THAT WE'RE SHARING OUR DATA WITH 359, UM, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN CALIFORNIA. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC INCIDENT IN ORDER TO GET THE DATA. 
          THEY DON'T JUST, THEY DIDN'T ASK US ONCE, AND NOW WE THEY HAVE ACCESS. 
          CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 
          IF THEY'RE GONNA SEARCH THE, IF THEY'RE GONNA SEARCH A DATABASE MM-HMM. 
          UM, IT'S GONNA INCLUDE ALL THE AGENCIES THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE FOLLOWING, ESSENTIALLY. 
          SO WHENEVER THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING A SEARCH, 
          [01:35:01]
THEY HAVE TO HAVE A CASE NUMBER OR A REASON THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE SEARCHING THE DATA. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, UH, ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT PEREGRINE AND THAT IS THE, UM, THE AI. 
          CAN YOU GIVE US A COUPLE OF CONCRETE EXAMPLES ABOUT, UH, FOR HOW WE ARE USING AI? I KNOW IT'S NOT, UM, YOU'RE SAYING IT'S NOT PREDICTIVE. 
          IT'S NOT TELLING US, HEY, WE'RE SEEING, UM, UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN THIS, THIS AREA BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S WALKING THE SIDEWALK AT NIGHT, AND THEN PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY WALK THE SIDEWALK AT NIGHT. 
          I MEAN, LIKE, CAN YOU GIVE US SOME REAL CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF HOW WE USE THAT AI? SURE. 
          UM, SO, SO PEREGRINE AND FLOCK BOTH USE AI AND THEY'RE USED TO BASICALLY, UH, MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT FOR US. 
          SO I'LL START OFF WITH, UH, PEREGRINE. 
          UM, THEY USE AI AND, AND THEY HAVE, I, I HAVE SOME NOTES HERE. 
          THEY HAVE THREE MAIN AREAS. 
          THEY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED MATCH, WHAT'S CALLED DOSSIER SUMMARIES AND PATROL DASHBOARD. 
          AND WHAT MATCH DOES IS IT BASICALLY GRABS INFORMATION FROM EXISTING DATABASES. 
          THERE MIGHT BE INFORMATION ABOUT ME, UH, ON A, ON A DISPATCH CALL. 
          THERE MIGHT BE REPORTS WRITTEN ABOUT ME AND THE, THE DATABASE. 
          THERE MIGHT BE AN ARREST RECORD AND THE ALAMEDA COUNTY DATABASE. 
          SO WHAT IT BASICALLY DOES IS IT SORTS THROUGH THOSE SYSTEMS, AND IT MAKES MATCHES BASED ON THE NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS, AND IT CONSOLIDATES ALL THE RECORDS INTO ONE. 
          SO WE CAN GET A SNAPSHOT OF, OF SOMEONE'S FULL, UH, BACKGROUND AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO SEARCH EACH INDIVIDUAL, UH, DATABASE TO FIND THE INFO. 
          UM, THE, THE DOSSIER SUMMARY SECTION, WHAT THAT DOES IS IT USES A LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, UH, TO BASICALLY GRAB AND SUMMARIZE REPORTS THAT ARE WRITTEN ABOUT SOMEBODY. 
          SO IF WE HAD, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE THAT'S BEEN ARRESTED AND WE WANNA FIND OUT IF THEY'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN OTHER STUFF, IF WE'RE DOING AN INVESTIGATION, UM, IT BASICALLY GRABS ALL THE INFO. 
          SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO READ, UH, ALL THE REPORTS, IT SUMMARIZES THEM KEY DETAILS FROM THE, FROM THE DISPATCH CALL, FROM THE REPORT WRITING SYSTEM. 
          UH, I'M BEING TOLD BY PARAGON, THIS IS ALL OPTIONAL INFORMATION. 
          IT'S NOT REQUIRED. 
          UM, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE THREE OR THAT, THOSE ARE TWO, THE, THE FUNCTIONS. 
          THE THIRD ONE IS A PATROL DASHBOARD. 
          AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT SUMMARIZES, IT'S MORE FOR LIKE A, LIKE A PATROL BRIEFING. 
          SO IF THE NIGHT SHIFT IS, UH, DOING A BRIEFING FOR THEIR TROOPS, UM, THEY CAN GET A REPORT THAT SUMMARIZES EVERY CALL FOR SERVICE THAT CAME OUT THAT DAY, THE PATROL DETAILS REPORTS WRITTEN, AND THEY'LL SUMMARIZE IT. 
          SO WE CAN USE IT FOR, UM, SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OFFICER SAFETY. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT PEREGRINE DOES. 
          NOW, FLOCKY USES AI, UM, FOR A COUPLE WAYS. 
          AND THEY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A FREEFORM SEARCH PLATFORM. 
          AND WHEN YOU'RE USING THAT, YOU CAN INCLUDE, UH, DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF A VEHICLE, UM, FOR THE A LPR, AND THEN FOR THE SIT CAMS. NOW, THE A LPR WILL ONLY LOOK FOR DISTINGUISHING FEATURES ON A VEHICLE. 
          I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER. 
          SO IF IT'S WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BLUE VAN WITH A ROOF RACK, WE CAN PUT IN BLUE VAN ROOF RACK, UM, IT'LL SHOW US A CERTAIN TIMESTAMPED AREA WHERE THAT CAR MATCHING THAT DESCRIPTION CAME THROUGH. 
          SO, EXAMPLE, SO IF WE HAD A RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY AND, UM, WE HAD A WITNESS, OR WE HAD MAYBE A, SOMEONE'S SECURITY CAMERA SAYS, HEY, I SAW, UM, THE BLUE VAN GOING THIS WAY, INSTEAD OF WATCHING CAMERAS FOR HOURS ON END LOOKING FOR THIS BLUE VAN, WE CAN PUT THAT SEARCH FEATURE, UM, INTO THE A LPR AND FIND OUT WHERE A BLUE VAN, UM, THIS CHARACTER SHOWED UP. 
          NOW FOR THE SIT CAMS, UM, IT COULD HELP US FOR SOMEONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, MAYBE IT'S A MISSING PERSON AT RISK, MAYBE IT'S A SUSPECT. 
          THE SIT CAMS ALLOW US TO, TO, UH, DO SEARCH FEATURES SUCH AS CLOTHING TO IDENTIFY SOMEONE THAT MIGHT BE ON THE CLOTHING. 
          SO IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR, UM, A MISSING PERSON THAT'S WEARING A GRAY HAT IN A, IN A BLACK SHIRT, UH, WE COULD PUT THAT SEARCH FEATURE IN. 
          IT'LL HELP US FIND THAT PERSON. 
          UM, WHAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S NOT FACIAL RECOGNITION. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THAT ABILITY. 
          UM, THE RESULTS FOR THE SIT CAMS, 'CAUSE THE SIT CAMS CAN SEARCH FOR PEOPLE. 
          THE LPRS CAN'T, UM, THEY WON'T PROVIDE RESULTS BASED ON A PROTECTED CLASS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT, AND IT'LL FLAG THAT INQUIRY. 
          SO IT'LL GIVE YOU LIKE A CLOTHING DESCRIP, UH, FOR AI. 
          AND THEN, UM, AND FOR THE, FOR THE LPR, IT'LL GIVE YOU A VEHICLE DESCRIP. 
          SO BASICALLY BETWEEN PEREGRINE AND A LPR, IT JUST SAVES US A LOT OF TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S TIME SENSITIVE AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO'S AT RISK OR MIGHT BE OF DANGER. 
          THAT'S WHAT THE AI IS USED FOR, FOR THOSE TWO SYSTEMS. OKAY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT IS THE END OF MY QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. 
          OH, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? I DO. 
          UM, UH, DO, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE 300 SOME ORGANIZATIONS, UH, AGENCIES THAT WE'VE SHARED INFORMATION WITH. 
          ARE THOSE TIME BOUND IN, IN THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ACCESS FOR THIS QUERY FOR X AMOUNT OF TIME? OR IS THAT, IS THAT INDEFINITE? IT'S IN DEFINITE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING. 
          AND, AND THE REASON 
          [01:40:01]
WE WOULD WANT THAT IS BECAUSE, SO THE DATA, BASICALLY, I, I SAID WE, WE SHARE DATA WITH OTHER AGENCIES. 
          THEY SHARE THAT SHARE DATA WITH US. 
          SO IT COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO US IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR A SUSPECT WHO MIGHT HAVE COMMITTED A SERIOUS FELONY AS FLED TO ANOTHER PART OF THE STATE, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR A CAR, UH, IF THAT CAR PASSED NAMED CITY AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, NOW WE CAN, WE HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR DATA TO AID IN OUR INVESTIGATION. 
          THAT'S WHY WE, WE SHARE THE DATA. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT? NO. 
          OKAY. 
          LET'S GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CAN WE START WITH, UM, MS. JONES, PLEASE? YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SHE'S OUR FIRST SPEAKER, LESLIE JONES. 
          NO, THANK YOU MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR HAVING ME UP AGAIN. 
          UM, I, AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THIS VALLEY SINCE 1969 WHEN I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN DANVILLE WITH JUST ONE STOPLIGHT. 
          I LOOK A LOT YOUNGER THAN I AM. 
          UM, I'D LIKE TO VOICE MY OPINION AND THAT OF MANY FRIENDS, BUSINESS PEOPLE I KNOW, AND NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE IN, UH, APPROVAL OF THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM FOR POLICING. 
          UH, YOU AS A COUNSELOR REPRESENTING THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS OF DUBLIN SHOULD NOT BE DOING, WE DON'T FEEL YOU SHOULD BE DOING AWAY WITH. 
          AND WE'D LIKE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING LICENSED PLACED READERS. 
          AND WE FEEL THAT THAT SHOULD BE THE CASE WITH A LOT OF OTHER CITIES. 
          THE REASON BEING, OUR CITIES ARE GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. 
          THIS VALLEY USED TO BE A LOT OF RANCH LAND, AND NOW WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HERE. 
          I WOULD ASK, ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK THE SAFETY OF THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS BECAUSE OF A FEW WHO HAVE MISPLACED CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WE'VE JUST HEARD TONIGHT? UM, FROM STEVE, I'M SORRY, YOUR LAST NAME AND CHIEF FOX. 
          UM, I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO GET THIS KIND OF DETAILED INFORMATION TONIGHT, AND IT SEEMS EXTREMELY THOROUGH. 
          UM, A FEW HAVE EXAGGERATED THE RISK OF CONCERN BASED ON PRIVACY, PUTTING THAT ABOVE THE PROVEN BENEFITS OF SYSTEMS THAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS DO, UH, CAN EMPLOY TO DO A BETTER JOB. 
          THE THE SYSTEMS HAVE NOT AND ARE NOT BEING MISUSED. 
          I THINK THAT'S QUITE EVIDENT FROM WHAT THEY, WE'VE BEEN TOLD TONIGHT. 
          IN FACT, THE DATA HAS RESULTED IN ACTUALLY PREVENTING CRIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF THEY'RE BEING FILMED, I KNOW I'M FILMED WHEN I'M OUT ON THE STREETS, DRIVING AROUND WHEN I'M IN THE FAST TRACK, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT COMMITTING ANY CRIMES. 
          UH, PEOPLE KNOW THEY CAN BE CAUGHT ON CAMERA NUMBER TWO, THE DATA COLLECTED CAN ALSO RESULT IN QUICKER APPREHENSIONS TO STOP REPEAT CRIMES, THE POTENTIAL FOR REPEAT CRIMES. 
          WE NEED TO RELY ON AS MANY SYSTEMS AS WE CAN TO HELP OUR POLICE OFFICERS DO THEIR JOBS. 
          OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS MAY LACK THE MANPOWER. 
          THEY CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. 
          BY PUTTING THE CONCERN OF PRIVACY OVER THE PROVEN USE OF LICENSE PLATE READER SYSTEMS, HELPING DO POLICE DO THEIR JOBS MORE EFFECTIVELY, REMOVING THIS TOOL COULD AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE A TERRIBLE EFFECT ON THE OVERALL SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER ALL THAT YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT, UH, WHEN YOU VOTE TO KEEP A SYSTEM LIKE THIS IN PLACE FOR OUR POLICE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JOSEPH RUBE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, BESIDES RUNNING FOR STATE OFFICE, I DO SERVE ON THE ALAMO POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          AND WE HAD OUR MONTHLY MEETING LAST NIGHT, AND THIS ISSUE CAME UP AND THE LIEUTENANT OF THE WHOLE AREA AROUND ALAMO, UM, TALKED ABOUT IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW, AND THAT'S STATE LAW. 
          AND THE CHIEF MENTIONED IT. 
          SB 54 IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE SANCTUARY STATE LAW. 
          UM, THAT WAS ENACTED IN 2018. 
          THAT'S THE MAIN LAW THAT SAYS THAT THE STATE, EVERYBODY IN THE STATE CANNOT, UM, SHARE INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE STATE. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE BENEFIT. 
          JUST LAST EVENING, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT A NUMBER OF STORIES, BUT, UM, AT OVER THE YEARS, BUT LAST NIGHT WE TALKED ABOUT AN INCIDENT WHERE A GENTLEMAN WAS FOLLOWED FROM THE, THE BANK, UM, BY TWO PEOPLE, AND THEY STRONG-ARMED HIM AND, AND, AND STOLE MONEY 
          [01:45:01]
FROM HIM. 
          UM, HE WAS ABLE TO DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY DESCRIBE THE CAR AND THE BACK OF THE CAR. 
          THE FLOCK CAMERAS, LIKE THE CHIEF SAID, LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE CAR. 
          AND THEY DON'T LOOK JUST THE LICENSE PLATE, THEY LOOK AT FEATURES OF THE BACK OF THE CAR, THE COLOR MAKE MODEL, UM, MAYBE LIKE, LIKE HE MENTIONED, A SKI RACK OR SOMETHING. 
          SO THE PERSON THAT WAS STRONG ARMED IN ALAMO, HE MENTIONED SOMETHING PARTICULAR ON THAT CAR, WHICH HELPED THE, THE PEOPLE IN DANVILLE IDENTIFY THE ASSAILANTS. 
          AND THEY WERE, UM, BETWEEN TALKING TO DANVILLE, LAFAYETTE, OUR GUYS, WE WERE ABLE TO ARREST, ARREST THE PEOPLE THAT COMMITTED THE STRONG, STRONG ARMED ARMED ROBBERY. 
          SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU LOOK AT BOTH SIDES. 
          UM, I THINK WE'RE VERY STRONG. 
          MY EXPERIENCE AS A, AS A, AS A BOARD MEMBER, WE'RE VERY STRONG IN KEEPING THE INFORMATION WITHIN HOUSE. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO, AND I CAN ATTEST TO THIS, THEY'RE VERY, VERY BENEFICIAL IN FIGHTING CRIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THE LAST SPEAKER IS MIKE GRANT. 
          NOW I CAN TALK ABOUT IT NOW. 
          YOU CAN TALK ABOUT IT, YEAH. 
          FOR A FULL THREE MINUTES. 
          , LIKE I SAID EARLIER, YOU KNOW, SANTA CLARA COUNTY DECIDED IN THEIR WISDOM TO COUNTY SUPERVISORS, THEY SHUT DOWN THE FLOCK CAMERA SYSTEM FOR SEVERAL CITIES, SARATOGA, AND A COUPLE OTHER ONES. 
          AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND. 
          THIS IS LAST TUESDAY. 
          THEN ON SUNDAY AN ARTICLE COMES OUT IN THE PAPER THAT, UH, SANTA CLARA SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S GONNA REALLY GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING. 
          NOW, THEY'RE GONNA INCREASE THEIR PATROLS BECAUSE OF THE IRANIAN BOMBING GOING ON. 
          WELL, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO INCREASE YOUR PATROLS. 
          YOU JUST DO THE SAME THING IF YOU STILL HAD TO FLOCK CAMERA DATA THAT YOU COULD PULL INFORMATION FROM. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT BOOBS RUNNING THAT DEPARTMENT DOWN THERE, BUT I THINK OUR LAST NAME IS BOB, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. 
          I'M SORRY, IT WAS JULIE BOB OR DANNY BOB OR WHATEVER. 
          ANYHOW, WITH THAT BEING SAID, UM, I, I'M LIKE, GLAD YOU'RE SMILING. 
          UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CHIEF AND I, I QUESTION THIS SB 54 BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT IF THE FBI OR THE A TF, IF WE HAD A MASS TERRORIST ACT IN THIS CITY, AND YOU CAN ANSWER THIS AFTER MY ONE 50 THREES UP IN THIS STATE OR THE CITY, THAT THE FBI COULD GET A WARRANT AND GET THOSE, THAT CAMERA INFORMATION IF THEY THOUGHT THAT THESE GUYS WERE THE ONES THAT COMMITTED THE CRIME. 
          SO YOU CAN ANSWER THAT IN A MINUTE, CHIEF, BUT I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT DATA BREACH 'CAUSE STEVE BROUGHT THAT UP. 
          I'M SO HAPPY WITH THAT. 
          I JUST WANT TO GIVE EVERYBODY AN IDEA THAT THIS, THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN DOWN HERE. 
          WHEN HARRIS WAS THE DOJ ATTORNEY GENERAL, SHE HAD A DATA BREACH. 
          SHE GAVE ALL OUR INFORMATION UP FOR DRIVER'S LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT BY ACCIDENT DEMOCRAT. 
          THEN 2022 BONTA DOES THE SAME BOOBY THING AND DID IT AGAIN. 
          HE GAVE UP ALL OF EVERYBODY THAT HAD A CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT THAT INCLUDED JUDGES. 
          SO I HOPE THEY'RE HUDDLED DOWN BEHIND THEIR PODIUM BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THE SAME LIST THAT I'M ON. 
          SO IT JUST TELLS YOU THAT DATA IS JUST NOT HERE. 
          WHEN YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL GOVERNMENT HAS A DATA BREACH LIKE THAT, WAS IT ON PURPOSE OR WHATEVER, IT DOESN'T MATTER. 
          IT WAS OUT THERE AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME. 
          'CAUSE I STARTED HAVING CREDIT CARDS OPEN IT UP IN MY NAME AND I DID A POLICE REPORT ON IT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          SO IT DOES HAPPEN TO US. 
          BUT THE LAST THING I WANNA TALK ABOUT IS THIS FLOCK CAMERA SYSTEM. 
          I DO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE MORE FLOCK CAMERAS BEING, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH POLICE. 
          YOU'VE HEARD ME PREACH THAT TILL COWS COME HOME. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE MORE CAMERA SYSTEMS ON THE STREET IN CERTAIN AREAS, NEIGHBORHOODS ON STREETS, SO THAT WE CAN HELP IDENTIFY THESE, THESE CRIMINALS THAT MIGHT BE COMING IN OUTTA TOWN, YOU KNOW, PASSING THROUGH. 
          AND I'M GLAD WE GOT SAND RAMON AND DANVILLE HAVE 'EM ALL IN PLEASANTON, I THINK HAS THEM BECAUSE WE ALL NEED TO HAVE THIS PROTECTION AND YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT, UH, DRIVE PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, MR. THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE NO MORE SPEAKER SLIPS. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS AN INFORMATION ONLY ITEM. 
          WE HAVE NO, UM, ACTION TO TAKE UNLESS THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO GIVE DIRECTION TO, UM, STAFF. 
          SO I, UM, APPRECIATE THOSE OF YOU WHO SPOKE AND URGED US TO, UM, VOTE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A VOTE TONIGHT. 
          UM, MAYOR, WHO, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? OH, I JUST WANT TO SAY, UM, VERY THOROUGH RESEARCH AND THE STUDY, AND ALSO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, 
          [01:50:01]
I DO WANNA ASK ONE QUICK QUESTION, UM, CHIEF, UM, AND THAT WAS, UM, REGARDING SOME, UM, LARGE INCIDENT THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, UM, IN THE BAY AREA OR, UM, WHERE THERE WAS A, A NATIONWIDE CRISIS. 
          UM, AS OUR SPEAKER MENTIONED, UM, WE ARE PREVENTED PERMIT PROHIBITED FROM SHARING WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES ACROSS THE BOARD ARE SIMPLY FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, MY INTERPRETATION OF LAW IS IT'S FOR, UH, FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. 
          IT INCLUDES RESOURCES, PERSONNEL, OTHER RESOURCES, AND INCLUDING TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM A FEDERAL MANHUNT, CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN AS FAR AS, UM, THE, WE CAN ONLY SHARE WITH CALIFORNIA AGENCIES, UM, THAT DOESN'T PROHIBIT US FROM COOPERATING WITH THE FBI, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THEY, UM, ASK US TO, UM, SEARCH OUR OWN INFORMATION AND HELP THEM, CORRECT? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM THE DICE? OKAY, GO AHEAD, ASHA, TO THE THREE SPEAKERS, UH, AGAIN, FOR COMING OUT AND SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS. 
          UM, MY, MY ONLY CONCERN WAS ABOUT THE, THE TIMEFRAME. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A, IF, IF, UH, IF I'M ALONE IN THAT CONCERN. 
          UH, I, I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S LIKE A, I DON'T KNOW THE, THE LEVEL, UH, THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY OR, OR, OR HOW MANY HOOPS YOU HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH TO GET THE, THE APPROVAL, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR, FOR YOU TO GRANT SOMEONE ACCESS. 
          UM, I'D, I WOULD BE, I, I WOULD, UH, I WOULD FEEL BETTER IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF A TIME LIMIT, RIGHT? LIKE SO IN THE REQUEST, IF THERE'S A TIME THAT, HEY, THIS IS FOR X NUMBER OF WEEKS OR DAYS OR MONTHS OR WHATEVER THAT IS, JUST HAVE A TIME BOUND. 
          UM, I WOULD, I WOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW TECHNOLOGICALLY IF THAT'S POSSIBLE OR NOT, WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU REVOKE THE ACCESS AUTOMATICALLY. 
          BUT, BUT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD, I WOULD, UM, I'D BE INTERESTED IN, IN LOOKING INTO MR. HOREN. 
          UM, I WAS GONNA SAY, I I REALLY APPRECIATED, UH, ALL OF THE INFORMATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IT'S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS, UM, LIKE I SAID, UH, VERY, VERY, UH, THOROUGH, UM, UH, WAS DONE AND FORTHCOMING WITH, WITH INFORMATION. 
          AND, UM, I GOT MY ANSWERS MOST OF THEM. 
          AND I, AND, UH, TO COUNCIL MEMBER CADRE'S QUESTION THAT WAS CIRCULATING, THE SAME QUESTION WAS CIRCULATING. 
          USUALLY YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOME LIMITATION ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THERE'S, THERE'S ACCESS TO A DATABASE, THEY DEFINE WHAT THEY NEED, THEY'VE TAKEN WHAT THEY NEED. 
          AND MAYBE I'M ONLY LOOKING AT A VERY NARROW PERSPECTIVE, BUT, UM, AND, AND I UNDERSTOOD YOUR EXAMPLE, UH, THAT YOU WANT IT TO BE AVAILABLE TO THEM, UH, ON AN ONGOING BASIS. 
          BUT I, I THINK THE QUESTION WAS MORE ABOUT, UH, ARE THESE DIFFERENT REQUESTS, UH, UH, EX UH, FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED, UH, AGENCIES, STATE AGENCIES, UM, ORGANIZATIONS, UH, IT'S ABOUT THE PERMANENCY OF THE ACCESS OF THAT DATABASE THAT, THAT, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PHRASE THAT, BUT I THINK THE COUNCIL MEMBER HIT IT RIGHT THERE. 
          SO I WAS WONDERING MAYBE IF THAT COULD BE LOOKED INTO, UH, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, THE THEY COULD, THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED, RIGHT? THEY'VE DEFINED WHAT THEY NEED. 
          THEY NEED ALL THE PICTURES OF A BLUE SUBARU WITH A RACK OVER THE LAST X PERIOD OF TIME. 
          RIGHT. 
          I GUESS THAT'S HOW IT WORKS, RIGHT? UM, BUT JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO TIGHTEN THAT UP. 
          UM, JUST, JUST TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE, UM, UNDERSTANDING OF, OF WHAT CAN AND WHAT CAN BE DONE OVER TIME. 
          YEAH, I I, I, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN AND, AND THE CALIFORNIA AGENCIES ARE ALL ABIDING BY THE SAME LAWS, BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. 
          I MEAN, JULY, JANUARY 30TH OF THIS YEAR WAS THE 37TH YEAR ALI MISHELOFF WAS KIDNAPPED. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IF WE'RE DOING AN INVESTIGATION, I WANT, I WANNA SHARE DATA OR HAVE ACCESS TO AS MUCH DATA AS I CAN. 
          SO IF IT'S A IMMINENT SITUATION, A KIDNAPPING OR, UH, SOME SORT OF AN INDUCTION, I WANNA KNOW THAT, UM, THOSE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO US. 
          SO WE'RE NOT MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOMEONE'S KID HOME. 
          MM MM-HMM . 
          JUST BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PUT A TIME LIMIT ON IT. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT, UH, THE AGENCIES ARE OR OPERATING OUT OF THE, THE LAW. 
          IT'S WHY WE HAVE AUDITS. 
          WE HAVE STATE LAWS TO FOLLOW. 
          UM, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN, UM, COUNCIL CAUTERY, BUT, UM, I, I, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US AS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO, TO WORK TOGETHER. 
          UM, CRIME DOESN'T JUST STAY IN DUBLIN. 
          IT CROSSES JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES THAT GOES ACROSS THE STRAIGHT. 
          AND HAVING THOSE RESOURCES TO ACCESS AND SHARE DATA WITH 
          [01:55:01]
IS GONNA BE BETTER FOR US AS A PROFESSION. 
          AND, AND YEAH, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT, UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT I APPRECIATE, UH, THE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT, AND I WOULD AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND, AND I WOULD TOTALLY SUPPORT THAT. 
          I, UH, WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THIS A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND, UM, YOUR POINTS WELL TAKEN THAT IT, IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME THAT BLUE SUBARU COULD BE FLYING THROUGH AT VARIOUS TIMES, RIGHT? AND YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PEOPLE HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON AN ONGOING BASIS. 
          IS THAT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE, WE'RE HEADING ON THIS MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I, I JUST NEEDED THAT CLARIFICATION AND UNDERSTANDING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND, UM, WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SHARING. 
          SO IF A, IF THE INITIAL QUERY CAME IN FROM AN AGENCY SAYING, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A, YOU KNOW, LET'S STAY WITH THE BLUE VAN WITH THE ROOF RACK. 
          UM, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING. 
          ONCE WE'VE GRANTED THEM THAT ACCESS, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING THEY CAN SEARCH. 
          UM, THEY'RE NOT, IT'S NOT PERPETUALLY SCANNING OUR CAMERAS FOR A BLUE VAN WITH A ROOF RACK, I WOULD ASSUME UNTIL THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A, THEY WERE SEARCHING JUST THEN TO SEE, UM, BUT THEY THEN HAVE SHARING ACCESS, BUT EACH TIME THEY QUERY OUR CAMERAS, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE A REASON AND A CASE NUMBER FOR WHAT THEY'RE QUERYING IN THAT INSTANCE. 
          CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          THAT WE, THAT SITS IN THAT DATA, SITS IN A CLOUD AND DOESN'T GET TOUCHED UNLESS THERE'S A LEGITIMATE LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO, UM, IF A BLUE VAN CAME THROUGH, UM, ON, YOU KNOW, MARCH 1ST AND NOBODY CARED ABOUT IT, THEN ON APRIL 1ST, WE NO LONGER HAVE THAT DATA TO SEARCH ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR BLUE VAN. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND THEN, UM, I I, I WANNA JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL WITH THE SAME UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE SHARING OF DATA. 
          UM, WE CAN'T SEARCH SOMEONE ELSE'S DATABASE IF WE STOP SHARING WITH THEM. 
          CORRECT? NOT NECESSARILY, BUT I MEAN, IF, IF WE'RE NOT GONNA SHARE DATA WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA PROBABLY SHARE DATA WITH THEM. 
          RIGHT? SO IF WE, IF WE HAD AN AUTOMATIC CLOCK, SAY WE, UM, SAY SHARING REQUESTS ARE GOOD FOR A YEAR, AND THEN THEY, THEY TERMINATE, UM, BUT THEN WE NEEDED TO SEARCH ONE OF THEIR CAMERAS. 
          WE'D HAVE TO PUT IN A, A REQUEST FOR THEM TO SHARE DATA AND, AND REINITIATE THE SHARING OF DATA. 
          AND TO ME, THAT SEEMS, UM, EXCEEDINGLY BURDENSOME WHEN, UH, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS STOP CRIME ACROSS JURISDICTIONS. 
          UM, SO I'M NOT ACTUALLY IN FAVOR OF LIMITING THE TIMEFRAME. 
          UM, ONCE WE HAVE, UM, AN AGREEMENT WITH AN AGENCY, GIVEN THAT, UM, IT'S NOT OPEN-ENDED SEARCHING, UM, THEY HAVE TO PUT IN A, A REASON EVERY TIME THEY SEARCH OUR DATA AND THEY'RE NOT JUST SCANNING FOR THE HECK OF IT, UM, OUR DATA THAT'S CORRECT, CORRECT. 
          IS MY UNDERSTANDING CORRECT. 
          AGAIN, THE LICENSE PLATE, UM, THE A LPR, IT'S JUST AN IMAGE OF A REAR PART OF A CAR TAKEN AT A CERTAIN TIME ACROSS A CERTAIN CAMERA. 
          IT SITS IN THE CLOUD AND IT DISAPPEARS AFTER 30 DAYS UNLESS SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY SEARCHING IT WITH A LEGITIMATE LAW ENFORCEMENT REASON. 
          YOU HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN SOME SORT OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OR, UH, ONGOING POLICE ACTIVITY, A LEGITIMATE REASON TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT DATA. 
          AND THAT IS THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE SIT CAMS, CORRECT? THEY HAVE TO HAVE SIT CAMS. YEAH, SIT THE ONES THAT ARE RUN BY TALK AS WELL, AND THEY, THEY CAPTURE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION. 
          BUT WE HAVE THOSE AT STRATEGIC LOCATIONS. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE, UM, ALPS, A LOT OF THEM, THE SIT CAMS ARE FEWER AND IN LOCATIONS, UH, ONE OF THE, UM, ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAS FLOATED AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA AND, AND SORT OF THE, THE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING FLOCK IS, UM, UH, SIT CAMS IN, UM, NEAR SENSITIVE LOCATIONS, UM, UH, MEDICAL CARE FOR EXAMPLE, OR, UM, COURTHOUSES OR, UH, HOUSES OF WORSHIP. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANY SIT CAMS THAT ARE CAPTURING DATA OF PEOPLE TURNING INTO MEDICAL FACILITIES, UM, AND HOUSES WORSHIP, CORRECT? NO, NO. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE BASICALLY AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS, UM, INGRESS AND EGRESS POINTS. 
          UH, THERE ARE SOME IN THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, AMADOR VALLEY AND, AND DOUGHERTY THAT GO INTO NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT WE DON'T PUT THOSE NEXT TO, UM, SENSITIVE AREAS. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, WE, WE HAD, THERE WAS AN ARTICLE, UM, ACTUALLY I THINK IN TODAY'S, UH, EAST BAY TIMES, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YESTERDAY, THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT, UM, UM, ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS THAT OTHER CITIES ARE PUTTING IN PLACE. 
          AND IT WAS, UM, HEARTENED TO READ THAT ONE OF THE SAFEGUARDS, UM, PEOPLE ARE PUTTING IN PLACE IS, UM, WELL, ALL OF THE SAFEGUARDS PEOPLE ARE ADDING TO THEIR FLOCK SYSTEMS OR THINGS WE ARE ALREADY DOING THE 30 DAY RETENTION, UM, NOT HAVING THEM AT SENSITIVE LOCATIONS, UM, ET CETERA. 
          IS THERE, WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN FROM, UM, OTHER AGENCIES THAT ARE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION THAT, UM, YOU FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING, UM, THAT WE'RE NOT ALREADY DOING TO SAFEGUARD THE, UM, THE PUBLIC'S PRIVACY? I'D HAVE TO VERIFY IT. 
          UH, VICE MAYOR, I THINK THAT, UM, I KNOW UNION CITY, I BELIEVE IS, UM, REQUIRING, UH, AGENCIES TO SEND, UH, A FORMAL REQUEST LIKE ON A, THEY HAVE LIKE BASICALLY A FORM THAT BASICALLY SAYS WE'RE, WE'RE AGREEING TO SHARE 
          [02:00:01]
OUR DATA WITH YOU, BUT WHAT YOU DO WITH IT BETTER COMPLY WITH STATE LAW AND POLICY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE HEARD OF. 
          I'D HAVE CONFIRMED OKAY, HOW IT'S DONE. 
          THAT'S KIND OF, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD DO, UM, ONCE YOU'VE FOUND OUT EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE DOING IT. 
          AND, UM, IT'S A EASY, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL. 
          EASY PEASY. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE REPORT. 
          UM, I'M THE ONE THAT ASKED FOR THIS TO JUST REASSURE OURSELVES THAT, UM, WE ARE BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH, UM, OUR RESIDENTS DATA AND THAT WE ARE, UM, AT, AT ALL LEVELS OF THE CITY. 
          AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE THOROUGHNESS OF THE REPORT. 
          AND, UM, I, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HERE IS IN, UH, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR ALL OF US, BUT I DON'T THINK ANY OF US ARE INTERESTED IN, UM, ELIMINATING FLOCK AS AN OPTION. 
          WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, UM, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SEARCHING OUR CAMERAS, IN ADDITION TO OUR STAFF ARE, UM, DOING SO WITH INTEGRITY AND, UM, FOR LEGITIMATE LAW ENFORCEMENT REASONS. 
          WE'VE CERTAINLY SEEN, UM, ANY NUMBER OF CASES WHERE, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE JEWISH STORE ROBBERIES THAT HAVE HAPPENED CROSS JURISDICTIONAL, THAT WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL. 
          UM, AND, UH, I WOULDN'T WANT US TO LOSE THAT TOOL. 
          AND I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE TRANSPARENCY THAT THE, UM, ADDITIONAL FLOCK, UH, PORTAL THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STANDING UP. 
          UM, THIS HELPS US GET EVEN MORE TRANSPARENT DATA ABOUT OUR STOPS AND OUR REPORTS AND, AND ALL OF THAT. 
          AND YOU'VE BEEN GREAT ABOUT ADDING THOSE THINGS TO THE DPS WEBSITE. 
          SO I WANNA THANK YOU FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE, UH, STEVE, FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING IN, UM, IT AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, THE CITY'S DATA IS BEING KEPT SAFE. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ANYBODY WANT ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? DO THEY HAVE CLARIFICATIONS? WHAT THEY, UH, WHAT THEY NEED? ANYTHING FROM US? THIS WAS MERELY RECEIVED THE REPORT. 
          WE WEREN'T GIVING DIRECTION TONIGHT. 
          SUGGESTION. 
          YOU, YOU SAID ONE THING AND WE WEREN'T SURE. 
          I THINK THAT WE AGREED WITH THAT. 
          UH, SO WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT WE LOOK AT ANY ADDITIONAL WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON THIS AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING FOR ANYTHING THAT, THAT MAYBE I MISSED IN THIS IN TERMS OF REPORTING AND ACCESS. 
          UM, SO IN PERPETUITY. 
          COOL. 
          I, I GET IT. 
          UH, I UNDERSTAND IT'S KIND OF A REFRESHING, SO I DON'T WANNA BEAT THIS OVER THE HEAD, BUT I JUST, I DON'T WANT TO, I DON'T WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT BECAUSE MAYBE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS UP HERE HAVE A, AN ISSUE OR AN IN INTEREST. 
          UM, AND IT'S MORE ABOUT DO WE THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS ON AN ONGOING BASIS? AND I'M, I'M NOT A STICKLER FOR THIS, I JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND IT BETTER. 
          SO, UM, THAT, THAT WOULD BE MY TAKEAWAY AS WELL. 
          SO DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO SOME, YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE WILL THEN MOVE ON TO, UM, ITEM 8.3, 
          [8.3 Resolution Initiating Formation of Street Lighting Assessment District 2026-1 and Directing the Preparation of the Required Engineer’s Report, and Resolution Directing Preparation of Annual Engineer’s Reports for Landscaping and Lighting Districts 1983-2, 1986-1, and 1997-1]
WHICH IS OUR RESOLUTION, INITIATING FORMATION OF THE STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 2026 DASH ONE, AND DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF THE REQUIRED ENGINEERS REPORTS AND A RESOLUTION DIRECTING PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL ENGINEERING REPORTS FOR LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS. 
          1982 DASH 3, 86 DASH ONE, AND 97 DASH ONE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME IS BRAD OLSON, MANAGEMENT ANALYST TWO WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND I AM HERE TO PRESENT ON LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS AND PROPOSITION TWO 18. 
          SO FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW, DUBLIN HAS THREE EXISTING DISTRICTS THAT PROVIDE FUNDING FOR ITS PUBLIC STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM. 
          THOSE DISTRICTS ARE STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT, SHORTHAND, SLMD 1983 DASH ONE, WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE PORTIONS OF THE CITY THAT PRIMARILY CONSIST OF NON DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING. 
          WE ALSO HAVE SLMD 1990 9.1 THAT ENCOMPASSES THE PORTIONS OF THE CITY, PRIMARILY CONSISTING OF DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE COMMUNITY FACILITIES, DISTRICT, OR CFD 2 20 17 DASH ONE THAT PROVIDES FUNDING FOR STREET LIGHTING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOULEVARD NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH, UH, ON ATTACHMENT THREE. 
          AND ON THE SLIDE HERE IS THAT LITTLE BLUE SEGMENT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. 
          SO GENERALLY 1983. 
          ONE IS THE WEST SIDE AND SOUTH OF BOULEVARD, AND THEN THE REGION ON THE IN PINK UP THERE IS 99.1. 
          THE CITY ALSO HAS THREE EXISTING LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DISTRICTS OR LLDS THAT PROVIDE FUNDING FOR PUBLIC LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THESE ARE LLD 1980 3.2, WHICH IS MAINTENANCE AND LANDSCAPING ALONG STAGECOACH ROAD WITHIN TRACK FORCE 47 19 LLD, 19 86, 1, WHICH DOES MAINTENANCE AND LANDSCAPING FOR NEIGHBORHOODS WEST OF DOHERTY, NORTH OF AMADOR VALLEY BOULEVARD, AND LLD 19 97 1, WHICH DOES MAINTENANCE AND 
          [02:05:01]
LANDSCAPING FOR THE SANTA RITA NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SO THE BIG ITEM FOR TONIGHT IS THE NEW DISTRICT FORMATION, UH, FOR WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING AS A NEW LIGHTING DISTRICT FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN. 
          THE EXISTING STREETLIGHT MATING, MATING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT, SORRY, 19 83, 1, DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTHORIZED ASSESSMENT ESCALATOR AND IS EXPERIENCING A SHORTFALL, UH, WITH AN ANNUAL OPERATING DEFICIT OF ABOUT 150 K THAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS COSTS GO UP. 
          IF THE REVENUE ASSESSMENT REVENUES REMAIN THE SAME, THE CITY GENERAL FUND WILL BEGIN TO NEED TO OFFSET THOSE OPERATING COSTS, AND WE ESTIMATE THAT THAT WILL OCCUR DURING FISCAL YEAR 20 27, 20 28. 
          ON MAY 20TH OF LAST YEAR, THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO INITIATE THE PROCESS FOR, TO INCREASE THE ASSESSMENT FOR 1983. 
          ONE AND AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 4TH, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN AGREEMENT WITH FRANCISCO AND ASSOCIATES TO ASSIST STAFF WITH EVALUATING OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE UPCOMING SHORTFALL AND ALSO TO CONSIDER WHETHER TO CONSOLIDATE 19 83 1 AND 19 99, 1 ON JANUARY 20TH, UH, CITY COUNCIL HELD A STUDY SESSION, RECEIVED A REPORT ON STREET LIGHTING THE DISTRICTS AND DIRECTED STAFF AT THAT TIME, TO PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS UNDER PROPOSITION TWO 18 TO ESTABLISH A NEW SINGLE DISTRICT REPLACING 19 83 1 AND 99 1. 
          SO A BIT OF AN OVERVIEW ON THIS NEW DISTRICT. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 20 26 1. 
          THIS WOULD ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE CITY EXCEPT BOULEVARD AND CAMP PARKS, AND WOULD CONSOLIDATE WHAT IS EXISTING 19 83 1 AND 1999. 
          ONE APPROVAL OF, UH, SLAD 20 26 1 WILL ADDRESS THE INCREASING SHUN FUNDING SHORTFALL, IMPLEMENT A UNIFORM ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY ACROSS THE CITY THAT USES CURRENT BEST PRACTICES FOR ASSESSMENTS AND WOULD PROVIDE RESERVES FOR FUTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. 
          PROPOSITION TWO 18 PROCEEDINGS ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE FORMATION OF THIS NEW DISTRICT A, A BID ON THE FUNDING STRUCTURE. 
          THE CITY WILL BE COVERING A PORTION OF THE ANNUAL STREET LIGHTING BUDGET THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO GENERAL BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. 
          THIS IS ABOUT 12% OF THE COST OF MAJOR ROADWAYS AND 2% FOR LOCAL ROADWAYS. 
          WE ESTIMATE THAT THE CITY PORTION, UH, WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $87,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 27. 
          THE NEW LIGHTING DISTRICT WOULD BE COM COMPRISED OF THREE BENEFIT ZONES WITH SEPARATE CITY ACCOUNTS TO TRACK THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES. 
          THOSE THREE ACCOUNTS, ONE WOULD COVER MAJOR ROADWAY STREET LIGHTING. 
          THE OTHER WOULD BE DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING, AND ONE FOR NON DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING. 
          BASED ON CALCULATIONS, THE NEW DISTRICT WOULD GENERATE APPROXIMATELY 1.17 MILLION IN ASSESSMENTS FOR THE 20 26 27 FISCAL YEAR. 
          AND THE EXISTING FUND BALANCES FROM 19 83 1 AND 19 99, 1 WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO THE APPROPRIATE ACCOUNTS MENTIONED ABOVE. 
          SO A BID ON THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND CONDOMINIUMS WOULD BE ASSESSED PER PARCEL. 
          APARTMENTS AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS WOULD BE ASSESSED PER RESIDENT UNIT RATHER THAN JUST A AREA OF LAND. 
          AND NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WOULD BE ASSESSED BASED ON PARCEL AREA AND BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE SIZE. 
          UH, HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED MAXIMUM AMOUNTS FOR THE ASSESSMENTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          FOR EACH BENEFIT ZONE MA FOR MAJOR ROADWAYS, IT WOULD BE EVERYONE WOULD PAY $17 AS A FLAT RATE, WHICH EQUATES TO ABOUT A DOLLAR 42 PER MONTH, 17 PER YEAR. 
          IN THE DECORATIVE AREAS WITH DECORATIVE LIGHTING, THERE WOULD BE AN ADDED $3 AND 75 CENTS PER MONTH, OR 45 PER YEAR. 
          AND FOR THE NON DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING AREAS, THERE WOULD BE $18 OR A DOLLAR 50 PER MONTH. 
          AND THE MAXIMUM ASSESSMENTS WOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO INCREASE EACH YEAR, UH, ANNUALLY BY 3% OR BY THE ANNUAL CHANGE IN THE LOCAL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, WHICHEVER IS GREATER HERE. 
          UH, TABLE ONE, WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT, SHOWS THE, UH, BREAKDOWN OF THE MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT. 
          SO THIS WOULD BE FOR THE NON DECORATIVE LIGHTING, WHAT IS NOW 1983. 
          ONE, YOU HAVE $17 FOR THE MAJOR ROADWAY COMPONENT. 
          18. 
          FOR THE NON DECORATIVE ROADWAY COMPONENT, 
          [02:10:01]
THAT ADDS TO 35 TOTAL. 
          AND COMPARED TO WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS AT 1934, THAT WOULD BE A $15 AND 66 CENTS INCREASE PER YEAR. 
          FOR THE DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING AREAS, WHICH IS COVERED BY 99.1. 
          MOSTLY RIGHT NOW, THERE WOULD STILL BE THE $17 MAJOR ROADWAY COMPONENT, $45 COMPONENT FOR DECORATIVE FOR A TOTAL OF 62 PER YEAR. 
          THE CURRENT MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT THAT COULD BE PAID IN THESE DISTRICTS RIGHT NOW IS 82 68. 
          SO IT BRINGS THE MAXIMUM DOWN BY JUST SHY OF $21, BUT RIGHT NOW THE COUNCIL HAS ONLY BEEN LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT AROUND $47 AND 80 CENTS. 
          SO IT DOES RAISE THAT CURRENT LEVIED ASSESSMENT A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND FOR AREAS THAT ARE IN PRIVATE, UH, LIGHTING ZONES, WE, WE STAY ON THIS TABLE THAT IT VARIES BECAUSE IT REALLY DEPENDS WHERE THAT PRIVATE ZONE IS. 
          IF IT IS IN AN AREA WITH DECORATIVE LIGHTING, IT WOULD HAVE THE HIGHER AMOUNT. 
          IF IT'S IN A NON DECORATIVE AREA, IT WOULD HAVE, IT COULD HAVE A, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD VARY BY THE ZONE OR WHATEVER THEY IMPLEMENT IN THEIR OWN PRIVATE STREET LIGHTING. 
          THEY WOULD JUST STILL HAVE TO PUT IN THE $17 FOR MAJOR ROADWAYS. 
          SO NEXT, ON THE OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT WE HAVE IN MIND FOR THIS PROP TWO 18 PROCESS, THERE WILL, THERE IS A DEDICATED INFORMATIONAL WEBPAGE WITH FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT IS IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW. 
          WE ALSO HAVE PLANNED SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT WILL START BEING RELEASED, AS WELL AS INFORMATION THAT WILL GO OUT IN THE DOUBLE AND DIGEST NEWS FLASH, UH, NEWSLETTER AND NEW FLASH ALERTS. 
          WE WILL HAVE A TABLE AT ST. 
          PATRICK'S DAY, UH, FOR INFORMATION AND ARE PLANNING A FARMER'S MARKET EVENT AS WELL AS WE ROLL THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          AND THE, UH, MARKETING TEAM IS ALSO WORKING ON AN INFORMATIONAL VIDEO AREAS WHERE WE CAN GET HOA ENGAGEMENT AND, UH, INFORMATIONAL MAILER THAT WILL GO OUT WITH THE BALLOTS. 
          WE HAVE ALSO SCHEDULED A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING ON THURSDAY, MAY 7TH AT 7:00 PM WHICH WILL SHORTLY FOLLOW WHEN THE BALLOTS ARE RECEIVED. 
          'CAUSE THOSE HAVE TO GO OUT BY MAY 1ST. 
          SO NEXT STEPS IN THE PROCESS, UH, TONIGHT OR FIRST UP HERE, WE'RE AUTHORIZING THE PROPOSITION TWO 18 PROCEEDINGS NEXT MONTH. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEETING ON APRIL 7TH WOULD BE WHEN THE ENGINEERS REPORTS FOR THIS NEW, UH, LIGHTING DISTRICT TO BE APPROVED, AS WELL AS THE OTHER LANDSCAPING DISTRICTS THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT. 
          MAY 1ST IS THAT DEADLINE FOR MAILING OUT ALL THE NOTICES AND BALLOTS TO THE PER, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED. 
          THAT'S 45 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THERE'D BE THE VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING ON MAY 7TH, AND THEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE 16TH BALLOTS HAVE TO BE RETURNED BY THE END OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING. 
          SO THAT'S WHEN THE FINAL BALLOTS COULD BE COLLECTED. 
          AND THOSE RETURNED BALLOTS ARE WEIGHTED BASED ON THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENT. 
          SO IF IT'S A HIGHER AMOUNT THAT THEY WOULD BE PAYING THAT BALLOT WOULD, UH, BE WEIGHED MORE HEAVILY THE NEXT DAY AFTER OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE 7TH. 
          THOSE BALLOTS WOULD BE TABULATED IN A PUBLIC SETTING. 
          AND THEN IF A MAJORITY OF THOSE RETURN BALLOTS DO NOT OPPOSE THE FORMATION OF THE NEW LIGHTING DISTRICT, WE WOULD ADOPT, UH, THAT THROUGH RESOLUTION AT THE MEETING ON JULY 21ST. 
          SO OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS EVENING ARE, UH, THERE ARE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          FIRST, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, INITIATING FORMATION OF THE DUBLIN STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 20 26 1, AND DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF THE REQUIRED ENGINEERS REPORT PURSUANT TO THE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ACT OF 1976, SECTION 72, SECTION FOUR OF ARTICLE EIGHT OR 13 D OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION. 
          AND THEN ALSO TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL ENGINEERS REPORTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 27 FOR LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE DISTRICTS 83 2 86 1 AND 19 99, 7 9 19 97 DASH ONE. 
          SORRY AT THAT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO PRESENT. 
          I DO HAVE ED ESPINOZA ON THE, UH, LINE AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY MORE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. 
          SO WE ARE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          MAYOR, WHO, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I DON'T HAVE QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I'VE JUST GOT ONE QUESTION, WHICH IS A, THE REPORT MENTIONS THAT THE NEW ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY WILL REFLECT CURRENT BEST PRACTICES. 
          COULD YOU JUST HIGHLY, UH, AT A HIGH LEVEL DESCRIBE WHAT THAT BEST PRACTICE IS AND HOW IT DIFFERS FROM THE CURRENT METHODOLOGY? 
          [02:15:01]
ED, DID YOU WANNA START ON THAT OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO? SURE, SURE. 
          I, I CAN, UH, I CAN ADDRESS THAT QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, BRAD. 
          GOOD, GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL. 
          IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU THIS, THIS EVENING. 
          UM, SO, UH, PROPOSITION TWO 18 THAT WENT IN EFFECT IN 1996. 
          ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT, UH, ASSESSMENTS BE LEVIED PROPORTIONATELY, UH, COMMENSURATE TO BENEFIT PERCEIVED, UH, RECEIVED. 
          AND, AND GENERALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, UH, DIFFERENT LAND USES AND DIFFERENT, UM, PARCEL CHARACTERISTICS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN ASSIGNING ASSESSMENTS TO ALL THE VARIOUS PARCELS OR PROPERTIES WITHIN AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT. 
          AND SO, UM, THIS, UH, DISTRICT, UH, AS IT CURRENTLY SITS TODAY, WAS FORMED DIRECTLY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF PROP TWO 18 AND WAS FORMED BACK IN 1999. 
          SO THE, THE METHODS AND, AND THE, UH, THE METHODOLOGIES THAT WERE UTILIZED BACK THEN, UM, ARE NOT, UH, WHAT ARE OUR CURRENT BEST PRACTICES, UH, NOW, UH, ALMOST THREE DECADES LATER. 
          SO, UM, SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, UH, CADRE IS THAT, UM, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WILL BE, UH, UH, ASSESSED, UH, DIFFERENTLY DEPENDING ON, UH, THE PRODUCT TYPE. 
          SO, AS AN EXAMPLE, UH, CONDOMINIUMS, CONDOMINIUM PARCELS, UH, WHICH ARE INDIVIDUALLY OWNED, WILL BE ASSESSED AT 75%, UH, OF THE RATE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, UH, APARTMENT UNITS. 
          SO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. 
          UM, EVERY RESIDENTIAL UNIT WITHIN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WILL BE LEVIED AT TWO THIRDS THE RATE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. 
          UM, VERSUS, UM, TODAY, UH, THE, THE UNITS ARE ALL, UH, ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS, UH, IS TREATED EQUALLY SO THAT THAT'S A DIFFERENCE. 
          AND THEN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, THERE'LL BE SOME, SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE METHODOLOGY THERE AS WELL. 
          UH, CURRENTLY, UH, THE ASSESSMENT FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS SOLELY BASED ON, ON ACREAGE OR PARCEL AREA. 
          THE PROPOSED, UH, METHODOLOGY, UH, INCORPORATES A CONSIDERATION FOR BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          SO, UH, DEPENDING ON, ON THE PARCEL, IF, IF IT'S A LARGE, UH, PARCEL, BUT A SMALL, UH, BUILDING FOOTPRINT, UH, BOTH PARAMETERS ARE CONSIDERED. 
          UH, AND, AND ALSO THE INVERSE, RIGHT, A, A SMALLER PARCEL WITH, WITH A LARGE, UH, MULTI-STORY BUILDING PERHAPS. 
          UM, THE, IT, IT, THE, THE PARAMETERS ARE, ARE, ARE CONSIDERED ON, ON BOTH SIDES. 
          SO THAT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE, UH, THE, UH, UH, MATERIAL DIFFERENCES IN THE METHODOLOGY. 
          BUT THE GOAL IS, IS TWOFOLD, IS, UH, TO BRING THE PROPERTIES WITHIN 99 1 UP TO CURRENT BEST PRACTICES, AND ALSO AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, HAVE A UNIFORM ASSESSMENT THAT IS A APPRO, UH, APPLIED CITYWIDE. 
          UM, AND, UH, REGARDLESS IF YOU'RE WITHIN AN 83 1 AREA OR 99 1 AREA, UH, THE METHODOLOGY APPROACH IS, IS THE SAME THAT YOUR ONLY QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          NO QUESTIONS. 
          UM, I ONLY HAVE THE ONE QUESTION, AND THAT IS, UM, ABOUT THE PROCESS ITSELF. 
          IT SAYS THE, THE, UM, BALLOTS WILL BE OPENED IN A PUBLIC SETTING. 
          CAN YOU JUST DESCRIBE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BIT? YEAH. 
          TYPICALLY IT JUST REQUIRES THAT WHATEVER SPACE, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE THE BRAY ROOM. 
          IT CAN EVEN BE THE AREA OUT FRONT. 
          IT JUST THE COUNTING, THE OPENING AND THE COUNTING OF THE YES NO BALLOT, BALLOTS HAS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S NOT IN A, A PARTICULAR MEETING THAT'S NOTICED, IT'S JUST THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. 
          IF YOU HAPPEN TO WANNA WATCH US COME OPEN BALLOTS, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO, UM, JOIN US. 
          CORRECT. 
          THERE'S HAS TO BE PUBLIC NOTICE AS TO WHEN AND WHERE IT'S DONE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKER SLIPS ON THIS ITEM. 
          OKAY. 
          BRINGING IT BACK TO COUNSEL, I HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          NOBODY HAS ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION INITIATING FORMATION OF DUBLIN STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 2026 DASH ONE, AND DIRECTING PREPARATION OF THE SOMETHING ENGINEERS REPORT REQUIRED, I BELIEVE. 
          UH, THERE WE GO. 
          UM, PURSU DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF THE REQUIRED ENGINEERING REPORT PURSUANT TO LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DIS, UH, ACT OF 1972 IN SECTION FOUR OF ARTICLE, WHAT IS IT? UH, 13 D 13 D MM-HMM . 
          UH, OF THE CALIFORNIA CON CONSTITUTION AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL ENGINEERS REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 
          [02:20:02]

          1983 DASH 2, 19 86 DASH ONE, AND 1997 DASH ONE.
