[23:18] another aspect in that is
[23:23] dealing with the with the
[23:25] policy perspective both and
[23:27] this week should cover both
[23:29] parking garages and street

[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
[27:21] those efforts, the other 2

[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] #
[30:47] #
[30:47] #
[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

[32:21] 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
