[24:20] Thank you for your comments,

[24:22] MR. Dalli. We will now move to

[24:26] speakers blare between your

[24:27] immediately begin. Put a big I

[24:30] wanted to speak 3.2, 3003.0,

[24:36] 11, 2.18 The 0. 37 3.0 38. Hi,

[24:37] everyone. Tried. Will be 3

[24:42] minutes to begin. 3.2 cains

[24:45] beer. A point is Oakland

[24:47] police chief. Mean agreement,

[24:49] a nice agreement that, you

[24:54] know, new police chief He has

[24:54] a long history with opd so he

[24:57] can be navigable in how

[25:00] community works. And I'm

[25:04] hopeful that from the at, you

[25:05] know, as much as

[25:05] administration and city

[25:06] council has made a big push

[25:08] towards the idea of wanting to

[25:10] be, you know, focusing on city

[25:11] administration point of view

[25:12] with our issues, you're

[25:17] starting to better see that.

[25:18] It is community that really

[25:19] defined are good. That's

[25:20] police practices over the past

[25:22] 10 years. And I think you want

[25:24] to be trusting that we've had

[25:24] 3 police killings in the past

[25:26] year where we had 3 in the

[25:28] previous Kent. So that's

[25:29] another concern that we have

[25:32] to be really focusing on our

[25:33] community in how to address

[25:34] our police issues. They're

[25:37] really needed. I'm hoping

[25:38] administration's understanding

[25:39] that respecting that good luck

[25:40] in that effort and ourselves,

[25:44] we learning that with the

[25:48] Coliseum payment allocation

[25:50] ideas. He just had tax lien

[25:50] forgiveness. Policies say you

[25:57] can create. You know, social

[25:58] services practices for for

[26:01] troubled areas. And Oakland

[26:02] that can be working with

[26:04] county of Alameda. So good

[26:06] luck and those sort of effort

[26:08] explaining that 2 with the

[26:09] Coliseum purchase things and

[26:11] how that negotiation process

[26:14] moves It can help. I think

[26:14] with the negotiating process

[26:15] that we all want it to go.

[26:17] Well, good luck and the ways

[26:18] to make a go so so we can get

[26:23] your to can go well. Parking

[26:25] operator, contract extension

[26:25] things. Thanks for the Kevin

[26:26] mentioned before the

[26:30] importance of the do Alpr. I

[26:31] work. You know that that's a

[26:34] part of a basic part of

[26:38] parking garages and stuff. Do

[26:40] the policy work public policy

[26:42] workforce really good examples

[26:43] of best practices and everyone

[26:44] when they learned that kind of

[26:46] stuff, they get excited and

[26:47] and understanding the process

[26:48] best practices with tech

[26:51] policy. So good looking in

[26:51] studying that and Broadway

[26:55] streetscape the same thing

[26:56] with all the money going to

[26:57] the project. And when you guys

[26:59] are talking about. The future

[27:01] of tech that's going to be

[27:01] involved with this. If you

[27:03] make that open public process

[27:04] and create really good public

[27:08] policies with it, that's going

[27:08] to bring people to Oakland.

[27:11] They're going to want to see

[27:12] good tech policies in their

[27:14] downtown area. That is a real

[27:15] important draw and

[27:17] understanding. It builds our

[27:18] best selves. So good luck and

[29:10] All right. Thank you. Blair

[29:11] becoming SEPTEMBER. You're

[29:15] going to be having, you know,

[29:19] upcoming overall policies on

[29:22] In a report backs on an

[29:22] overall practices of your

[29:24] police on a number of issues

[29:31] in SEPTEMBER. Feel it can be

[29:32] fair time to offer that. I was

[29:34] incredibly disappointed that

[29:35] in your public safety

[29:35] committee a couple days ago,

[29:40] you could not you excluded any

[29:42] talk of pr use and what's

[29:45] going on with block this time.

[29:47] You guys have been with the

[29:49] flock contract for the past 6

[29:50] months. That has not been

[29:52] signed. And I have no clue

[29:54] past MAY. Been signed or not.

[29:55] You guys are making that

[29:57] information accessible to the

[29:59] public. And I think you guys

[30:00] have awesome responsibility to

[30:01] make that information. The

[30:03] very least accessible and

[30:04] understandable. What the

[30:06] holdup is and what's going on

[30:07] with that. We have to wait til

[30:11] SEPTEMBER OCTOBER, NOVEMBER to

[30:12] get the police report on all

[30:14] of this. I got to wait till

[30:14] then to understand why you

[30:17] said with urgent that the

[30:20] contracts had to be signed by

[30:22] by MARCH of 2026. And now it's

[30:23] JULY and it's quite possible

[30:24] the plot contracts have been

[30:27] developed. So there's a real

[30:28] problem and you guys have to

[30:32] be, I think, really developing

[30:33] ideas and explanations to the

[30:36] public. What's going on? And

[30:37] I'm waiting for those

[30:37] explanations from yourselves.

[30:42] Please work on that. We have.

[30:42] It's awesome plan. You guys

[30:45] have set up that the community

[30:46] helps to find a picture of pr

[30:46] b#

[30:47] #

[30:48] besides clock. That

[30:51] means we could be deciding on

[30:52] a feature of a of a

[30:53] corporation that doesn't

[30:55] practice war to the same

[30:56] degree. And that's awesome

[30:57] thing. The community can be

[30:58] working on. Why not do this

[31:01] process really well, you guys

[31:03] are making it really overly

[31:04] complicated and it's shameful,

[31:07] almost. And and. That

[31:08] concludes your item. 4

[31:10] speakers. Thank you for your

[31:15] comments. Entertain motion.

[32:10] about to end. And I get

[32:10] confused on how to speak

[32:13] better. Sorry about And what I

[32:14] meant to say was that it seems

[32:21] please work on it. Please find

[32:24] ways to to explain to the

[32:26] What's the holdup? What

[32:27] exactly is the process? Why

[32:28] the contract is up being

[32:33] signed. I think it could be

[32:34] accomplished. I mean, that the

[32:35] intentions of what we can be

[32:38] working on are so incredibly

[32:40] decent. It is the way we
