That's why the that's why the company's not here and that's why if the elected
leader say you know I don't want to give the information I'll give it later
that's just another excuse so so all I can do is advocate for the community
that's the best that I can do but if you're certainly now you see me
flip-flopping. Commissioner Briones. Well first of all you voted for Flock 15
times and you've never voted against it so if you want to go down memory
lane. I acknowledge that already in my substructure post. Wonderful and now we have
Commissioner Garcia and I know that the sheriff's office is almost finished with
their updated policy and so I don't know if they have the ability to join us but
I think it would be illuminating to for them to update us on where they are and
where we're going but again this is not assumptions this is action has already
been taken and I've made my position very clear in decommissioning and
withdrawing from the contract. But what about the other contracts that we have
that we can vote on what about those what about the fact that earlier none of
you guys well we knew Commissioner Garcia had a had a contract but two
members we I only found out by reading the the actual contract that three county
commissioner precincts had agreements with Flock and that anybody in your
guys's offices could it could offer it so when we're saying I'm gonna do the
the bare minimum and I'm and I and I'm not gonna even talk about the majority
of our contracts and I'm gonna do it right before election day when in June
I forced this to be passed without any oversight I mean it anyway I think that
that disrespects the intelligence of the voters
