City Council Regular Meeting — May 19, 2026

photo. So, yeah. Thank you so much. Hi, good evening everyone. It is such a pleasure to be here. As Mayor Francis noted, I'm from the National Center for Safe Routes to School, which is located at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, but we do our work across the country. Fort Collins is a community that shows invisible and tangible ways what it looks like when a city chooses to prioritize the safety and well-being of its young people when they are walking and biking.

That's what brings me here tonight to recognize the city's leadership and many partners,

some of whom are in the room with us tonight,

who have shaped a culture where walking and biking is not just encouraged, but planned for in a very deliberate way.

When the National Center for Safe Routes to School was established back in 2006, the landscape for

Safe Routes to School and for youth active travel was very different. For communities that maybe conducted a few walk audits, that did some pedestrian safety lessons and a walk to school day event, that was enough to really stand out. But in many communities, we're just really beginning to think about how to make their communities be more walkable and bikeable and support children moving through their neighborhoods under their own power. But that work has matured and has grown a lot since 2006. And so expectations of what communities can do have also grown. And Fort Collins has not just kept pace, it really is leading the way. Prioritizing safe access to walking and biking for youth is a choice that Fort Collins has made again and again through political

will, through sustained investment, through partnerships, and through a belief that every

child should be able to move safely and confidently through their city. The city's multifaceted efforts have resulted in exceptionally high school student walking and biking rates. The award selection committee, which is made up of leaders and practitioners in road safety and health from across the United States, specifically noted these points when they chose Fort Collins as this year's Vision Zero for Youth Leadership Award recipient. We've been giving this award

every year since 2017, and we give it typically to just one community. So I want to emphasize

that this award recognizes Fort Collins not only for what it's done here in its own community,

for its own youth and families, but for the leadership that it is demonstrating nationally on a national level. It has been rooted in the understanding that when you make it safer for

kids to walk and bike. You make it safer for everyone. You strengthen neighborhoods.

You support families. You build a healthier, more connected city. And your recent work around

Vision Zero really is a continued expression of that commitment. Perhaps most importantly,

Fort Collins is showing other communities what progress can be possible, how culture

can be different, that infrastructure can evolve, and that considerations for youth

active travel are at the root of that work. On behalf of the National Center for Safe Routes to School, it is my honor to present the Vision Zero for Youth Leadership Award to Mayor Francis as a reflection of the importance of leadership and the work of so many partners in this community and the collective steady vision,

the persistence, and the unwavering dedication to creating inviting safe spaces for young people

walking and biking. Congratulations and thank you for leading the way.

Thank you so much for the recognition and I just happen to be a strong supporter of Safe Routes to School but it's not my work that did this so I'm going to invite those who were involved to come on up so we can do a photo and I know the active modes board is here staff is here our super superintendent Brian Kingsley is here so if you would like

alright oh wait

Hello, everybody. My name is Mike Moses, and I am executive director of Bike Fort Collins. And I wanted to make just a few comments because it is such an amazing evening for many of us.

Bike Fort Collins, we're a nonprofit. We were founded in 2005 to work on bike advocacy and other areas of involvement in bikes in the community in Fort Collins. And we were very fortunate in 2012 to be able to enter into a partnership with the city of Fort Collins, which was leading the way in bike education with our youth.

We were able to take on the responsibility of hiring, training instructors in Safe Routes School and working in the curriculum development and helping with the program management and other things. But it was all made possible by Nancy and the Safe Routes School Program. Yes.

And the tremendous support by council, by citizens, and by the taxpayers of the city of Fort Collins for providing the funding to implement that program. And it's been a very productive relationship. In fact, we've been recognized as one of the top Safe Routes School programs in the nation. And it's a very unique partnership between a city and a nonprofit to deliver this type of education to, you know, 5,000 to 6,000 students every year in our school district. And I want to mention one other thing that is very unique is we also check and repair over 3,000 bikes a year. And that's one of the things that started very early in this program and has now really set us apart in that the children bring their bikes and they get them checked year after year through the program. So I just want to thank the city, FC Moves, the Safe Routes School Program, and everybody that comes together and more than 20 instructors that we maintain to teach our children.

And I do want to mention with Nancy's comments, we have extended this program through the support of Fort Collins to Timnath, to Windsor this year, and we're doing our first program by Groteo in Loveland.

So we are the shining star and we are spreading the love across northern Colorado. Thank you.

Well, thank you all again. Thank you to our staff. to I know we have both Nancy's and Nancy our city employee this is well

deserved and thank you for all of your work and your dedication to making this

happen in Fort Collins we couldn't have done it without you so thank you with

that we will move on to our first proclamation which is declaring the week

of May 9th through 17th as Armed Forces Week if you would like to support this proclamation you can please come on down

oh who's making comments okay okay you'll step in okay great all right whereas April to September

is it no that's floods whereas the military community has long existed within the city of Fort Collins, Pudah Library District, and the Pudah Fire Authority. The military community spans several groups of membership and includes active duty reservists, veterans, and their families. And whereas the city of Fort Collins supports the military community employee resource group as being established to offer city employees a place to connect, find resources, and provide support. And whereas the employee resource group will support and advocate for city of Fort Collins and allied agency veterans, active duties, reservists, and military families. And whereas Whereas the Military Community Employee Resource Group will honor military service members and their families' sacrifice, dedication, and commitment by identifying challenges and advancing opportunities through awareness, support, training, career enrichment, and providing recommendations to city leadership. And whereas Armed Forces Week is a time to honor the men and women who serve in the military and to remember their service and sacrifice.

Armed Forces Week takes place the week leading up to the Armed Forces Day, which is the third Saturday of May each year.

and whereas the employee resource group supports those active duty reservists veterans and their families and would like to recognize their service during Armed Forces Week now therefore I am Lee Francis mayor of the city of Fort Collins to hereby proclaim May 19th through 17th 2026 as Armed Forces Week in recognition of the military staff members of the city of Fort Collins and allied agencies and their dedication to service in our greater community

To bear with me here, I apologize. Nope, not here yet. So we have one of our, my name is Eric Kluver. I'm one of the co-chairs this year, and one of our members got caught up in another meeting.

So the good news is I have the words he wanted to read. So he was going to accept this proclamation.

So obviously I mentioned myself, Eric Kluver.

I'm one of the co-chairs of the Military Community Employee Resource Group, and I'm honored to accept the Armed Forces Week proclamation on their behalf. There are several military members and veterans in the city of Fort Collins and in our partner organizations, and we wanted to express our appreciation to them

and their family members for ensuring that we, for ensuring, excuse me, for ensuring, oh my gosh, I lost my place.

that we may rest peacefully under their watch.

While many are more familiar with Moral Day, which obviously is coming up this weekend,

honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country in Veterans Day,

honoring those who previously served, is important to recognize Armed Forces Week,

which was created to recognize all service members actively serving today.

To quote Abraham Lincoln, and God bless their soldiers and seamen with all their brave commanders. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Is there a photo? There's a photo.

And there he is.

Right on my stage.

Thank you.

all right if you would like to support flood awareness week please come on down

yeah come on down flood awareness

And who's are you giving comments are you giving comments I'm good okay perfect the more the merrier all right all right good we're here for it all right whereas April to September is the season most commonly associated with snow melt flooding and thunderstorm flash flooding and whereas for where Collins has experienced the social, economic, and environmental consequences of loss of life and damage. �� nd nd infrastructure while additional infrastructure is still needed to continue to mitigate flooding in areas that are not yet protected and Whereas by being informed and prepared and taking proper proactive action The residents of Fort Collins can reduce the potential for loss of life and damage to property when threatened by these events Now therefore I am Lee Francis mayor for Collins to hereby proclaim May 24 through 30 2026 as flood awareness week Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Chris Locker. I'm the long-time city's flood warning manager and a few comments here. The City of Fort Collins stormwater utility utilizes many approaches to address its safe community mission. My colleagues here today and in our stormwater group meet that charge by ensuring structures

are both robust and placed away from flood harm, that our natural stream channels and engineered drainage systems are properly maintained to ensure healthy flood resilience,

that people can more affordably ensure themselves against potential losses from flooding, that they're educated to the threats of flooding, and we can assess rain intensity in any flood conditions in real time so we can appropriately respond to flood emergencies. To that last need is why the city's flood warning system was developed. A network of gauges grown since its inception in 1999 to 75 sites capable of dynamic weather, rainfall, and stream flow measurement used to provide our responders with timely information to address specific flooding conditions and to notify our citizens of active flood threat and make recommendations to action. I encourage you with this proclamation to explore our city's rain and stream web map and other resources at fortcollins.gov to discover that information. And please reach out to us at any time.

good evening my name is mike pierce i'm an engineer with the stormwater master planning group

myself and the stormwater master planning and our floodplain administration program work together to ensure the city can be as safe during flooding as possible.

Our floodplain management group manages construction and development in flood-sensitive

areas to make sure that the constructed structures are resilient and protected from flooding. and the Stormwater Master Planning Group designs the infrastructure that carries the flood waters away from our homes and neighborhoods.

We are part of the storm or the city utilities and have a, along with Chris's website, or on the same website,

we have information about flood awareness and are happy to answer questions.

Thank you very much.

Good evening. My name is Doug Groves. I'm the stormwater maintenance manager in utilities. I'm a part of water field operations. That's a lot to say but what

I represent is the boots on the ground. So we're out in the field maintaining our stormwater systems. We're on the other end of the phone when there's a problem.

We work with our colleagues in emergency response and most simply our elaborate

stormwater and rain system monitoring program comes right to my phone and so we're always connected and ready to respond. Thank you.

Do you want to go? Do you want to speak?

you can accept thank you thank you all for your service and dedication to our

city thank you very much yes yes all right that is all the presentations and

proclamations for this evening staying tuned for a regular City Council meeting at 6 p.m. Thank you everyone.

Good evening, Fort Collins. The time is now 6.02 p.m. and I call the regular meeting of the Fort Collins City Council to order. Please join me for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic of the which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Francis here Pinyataro here Nelson here Hovind here Pachandi here Fudge here Conway here

All right we are all here tonight I appreciate everyone who has joined us either in person or virtually tonight I want to remind everyone that we are here for the same purpose which is the future of our community which we all care about will the city manager please provide a review of today's agenda yes thank you

mayor good evening everyone we don't have any changes to the published agenda and our consent calendar I tonight includes 14 items while we don't have any discussion items planned we do have a community report from Poudre libraries this evening and then concerning other business I want to offer a clarification so there are two items listed one is an item for possible discussion and consideration of a motion to direct staff on the flock safety automatic automated license plate reader and I want to just can confirm with council and the community that following last week's work session we are working on two things already one is that we are bringing forward updates to the scope of the citizen review board for them to review the audit logs we're planning that to bring that to you all in July and the reason is that then at the June meaning the CRB will have the chance to provide their input and some update on that before it comes to you. And then in terms of the surveillance technology governance policy, we also will be bringing that back to council following your summer break in July. So just to be clear, those two things are already happening. The summary of all of the other items that you talked about and the options will be coming to you in a Thursday packet memo this week. So if that's helpful for you to have that summary before you act I just wanted you to know that that's coming and then with that we will ask you to call a special meeting on June 9th for our mid-year review of your council appointed employees great thank you so

much so we will move on to our community report from the Poudre River public library district annual report oh there's I am come on in hi

Pushing the button that says push, I can read, which is a good skill for your library director.

I'm Diane LaPierre. I am here today to give you all a personal look at our annual report to the community.

The annual report has been filed. It's on our website. But this is a good chance for me to come and talk to you all directly about what has been

happening in the past year and some of the things we're excited about moving forward.

Our report is full of all sorts of great statistics, a good look at the activities and all the measurable metrics that we track circulation door counts library cards so you can look at all those numbers in the online or print report and I really want to just share some stories with you it's there there we go I've been here for

four years now and about three years ago we updated the library's strategic plan and our mission statement so our mission is to create opportunities and build connections to strengthen our community. We've done a lot of work in this area to create new opportunities for people, everything from expanding our digital collections, launching all sorts of programs that celebrate diversity and cultural heritage, and launching EV, our first mobile all-electric bookmobile, who's still doing well several years in. And our mission also marks our district's expanding role in the region as a vibrant and inclusive gathering space where people connect, exchange ideas, and build community together.

When we think about creating opportunities, we really want to work to meet people where

they are and provide the necessary resources that they need to improve their own lives. So by providing access to information, technology, resources, programs, and much, much more, we open doors for that personal and professional growth and learning. A few of the prominent programs that we did last year in 2025, there's a picture up there of our Imaginantes Summer Program, which is a week-long intensive summer program for teens.

and we work with the city of Fort Collins and had funding to do a wonderful mural project on the side of our administrative building where our pollinator garden is. And again, it's a wonderful way to connect with the youth and provide opportunities they may not have in other regards. We also offer online fully accredited high school equivalency graduate program and work with a number of special service partners, social service partners out of our Old Town Library.

When we think about how we build connections, a lot of what the library does is to create those social networks that we often hear are not as prevalent as they have been in the past. So some of the ways that we bring people together is in our physical spaces and in our programs.

We try to create welcoming spaces at all of our three libraries, as well as through our outreach programs.

A few of the many programs that fostered connection over the last year include the first Fort Collins-specific Pride event. and we drew more than 400 participants in Library Park for that for a really joyful all-ages gathering and just want to let you all know that the next FOCO Pride is June 6th at Library Park and we collaborate with the City of Fort Collins to plan and host that event so appreciate that

partnership. This past year we also worked hard to create a new strategic plan and we spent a lot of time last summer engaging with the community to make sure that our plan was grounded in community voice, in the aspirations and dreams of people who live here. A summary of the report from our community engagement conversations is also on our website. And from what we heard from community, we identified four roles for the library to play in activating and supporting that vision. The first is as a community catalyzer. And with that role, we see that we have an ability to improve civic knowledge and engagement and community collaboration. We are a trusted community organization, and we really work hard to bring people together to have productive conversations about some topics that can sometimes be polarizing, but to do it in a way that models that civic and civil dialogue. We're excited to share that Poudre Libraries is an official partner and will live stream the TED Democracy Philadelphia Founding Futures event on June 13th. We're one of just two libraries in Colorado and of 65 throughout the U.S. to host the TED Democracy Live project. And we'll be working with the Museum of Discovery to broadcast this day-long event. Another role that we see ourselves as important to providing resources for the community is to be that social and cultural connector. So through our library spaces and through our programs and our outreach, we create opportunities for people to come together outside of their own families or neighborhoods and really interact. Black����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� community. Our third role is around equal access champion. Public libraries are grounded in ideas of intellectual freedom and equal access for all. So we work really hard to provide a range of ideas and experiences for people and to eliminate barriers so that everyone has an opportunity to come and explore. We also work very hard to engage with populations that may not have a history of visiting their library or using their library. So we work with Title I schools, with Laramere County Jail, doing resource fairs and really targeting those communities that may be further away from our physical locations through our outreach efforts. Finally, we're a resource partner. When you think about resources, I'm sure you think about all the books that we have on our shelves, and that's still a core part of our mission. But we've also expanded to work in partnership with a number of other community agencies and social service partners to meet people where they are in the library and give them the kind of help direction and guidance they may need for everything from finding a job, finding housing, getting mental health support through partnerships with organizations like CSU Occupational Therapy, Larimer County Small Business Development Center, the City of Fort Collins, Forenzo Latina, and ISAC. So a real broad range of partners that we work with. So that's a little bit about what we have been up to, what we're excited about looking forward.

It is almost time to register for our summer adventure, which has the title of Unearth a Story.

So we're all about dinosaurs and other things you may dig up. And just a reminder, our summer adventure is available for everyone from birth through however old you may be. So last year we had more than 6,300 people participate, and we hope to get even more this year. and it's a great way to not only keep kids reading and engaged in learning over the summer, but to really celebrate that intellectual curiosity and dinosaurs. We're partnering with the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas on various programs, so appreciate that and appreciate the generous support of the Friends of the Library organization for helping us offer all those programs. Also this year we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of our Old Town Library. So we hope you join us in October for some fun events to celebrate that milestone. It's not just the United States' 250th year or Colorado's 150th year, it's also our Old Town Library's 50th year. So that may be our oldest location. We're working hard on our newest location, and I know you've all been recently updated on the Southeast Community Center, but I thought I'd give you a little peek of what the library spaces in that facility are shaping up to look like. We've just gotten some new renderings. So this is what it will look like when you walk in the main doors of the facility and turn to the left. That is the entryway to the library and where the innovation spaces will be. We have sort of a portal that'll guide you into the library where the book drop will be and a nice display space for our friends of the library to have their book

sales. As you walk further into the space, you'll see a full service desks, technology,

a gathering space with a two-sided library, adults on one side, and then there's a dedicated teen area on the other side. Study pods, there will be I think nine or ten different sized study rooms and meeting rooms in the library side proper so this is a big expansion over what is available currently at the council tree library so we're excited to welcome people into the space in 2028 and excited for the groundbreaking that will be taking place on june 10th this is the adult area and transition space throughout the building it's going to feel just so much bigger and brighter and airier than Council Tree. We will also have those two large community meeting rooms and maker spaces, which is not a service that we currently are offering really at any of our libraries. So dedicated spaces for technology making and also for just messy arts and crafts and fun creative things happening throughout the building.

We know there will be a lot of teens there. It is right across the parking lot from Fossil Ridge. So we're expanding the teen area and providing some dedicated quiet study room spaces.

Well, it'll be quiet from the outside.

They can make noise on the inside, but places for teens to just hang out, have fun with each other, learn, do homework, do projects, play games, and just feel like a sense of belonging there as well.

the teen area which we know is one of the most heavily used areas at council tree will be expanded

with some interactive play spaces a little more room for kids to wiggle around climb and explore because we know that learning is not just as much as we love to read books but there's having literacy rich environments and learning rich playscapes also helps kids learn and grow we'll be able to explain expand our collection and have it be more visible browsable and

ready for the kids to show up and have fun in that space that concludes my presentation i'm

happy to answer questions well thank you so much for the presentation and the update it's always It's nice to hear what the library is up to, and we're excited for the partnership at the Southeast Community Center. Does council have any comments or questions? Council Member Natsa?

Just thank you so much for such a comprehensive and amazing presentation. And really, when you think about all of the cultural activities that the library rolls into its programming, it makes a huge difference in our community. So thank you for sharing that with us and for the work that you do. Thank you.

Councilmember Payondi?

Similar to Councilmember Nelson, I just wanted to say thank you. I think our library has really proven itself to be a hub for so many sectors of our population. And my personal kiddo has recently had the opportunity to have Evie visit his school. And every time they run into Evie, I think there's just this level of excitement. And I think it's not only expanding access, but it's just expanding passion for folks to access the library to have kind of a mobile hub there. So I think that's a wonderful addition. And I also wanted to thank you all for thinking critically about how to expand your digital offerings. I know that that's been something you needed to work on because the demand's going way up. And, you know, it's very expensive and also something that's really valued by the community. So just appreciate all the hard work you do across so many different factors of making the library an inclusive and wonderful resource. So thank you.

Council Member Fudge.

I'll just echo my colleagues and say thank you for all that you do. The library is a great resource for the community, bringing people together and providing access to information. And so thank you to you and your staff. The Southeast Community Center is going to be great. I remember when I joined the library board a few years ago, it was kind of just a vision. There's this thing we maybe hoped happened that was in the works and now to see it come to fruition is going to be great So the groundbreaking ground breaking on June 10th is going to be awesome I understand maybe some of the fossil Ridge band members will be there. So I understand that as well That'll be awesome. So I look forward to doing that and thank you again

All right, we will start with Joanne.

Go ahead. Hi, thank you, Mayor Francis, Councilmembers. My name is Dr. Joan Ivaska, 2939 Windward Way. I am speaking as a Saunders resident, taxpayer, and president of the Waters Edge Metro District 2 board. The district agreements are an issue of enforceable commitments, not aspirational goals. Residents pay taxes and district fees in reliance on public benefits presented as the basis for the city's approval. The city identified the non-potable irrigation system as non-compliant. The submitted photographs, if you go to slide 2, show other Phase 1 obligations also remain undelivered, while phase two planning continues even as major promised amenities have been reduced, deferred, or omitted. The concern is straightforward. Approved benefits are not being delivered as represented. For many residents, especially taxpayers who chose this community in their senior years, this has real legal and practical consequences. They made long-term financial and personal decisions in reliance on the amenities, infrastructure, and public benefits promised in the governing documents. When those benefits are not delivered, the harm is not abstract. It affects daily use, access, community value, and quality of life. It is also concerning that the developer described this situation by saying half a sandwich is better than no sandwich. That is not an intent to comply. The council approved agreements require full performance. I respectfully ask the council to direct staff to take formal enforcement action, issue a notice of cure for the irrigation violation, require the public benefits agreement to confirm to the service plan and withhold further phase two approvals until phase one obligations are complete. We are not seeking new terms, just asking the city to enforce the terms already approved and protect the taxpayers who relied on them. If approved obligations can be reduced after the fact without consequence, these agreements no longer function as meaningful protections for the public. Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you. Next we'll go to Richard online and then Jeff online. No Richard. We'll go to Jeff online and then Taylor online. Go ahead Jeff.

Black����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� cameras are located along trails where there are no vehicles with license plates for them to scan. In fact, there was a recent video put out where a VP from Flock accessed a camera inside a children's gymnastics studio. There are no license plates to read in that gymnastics studio for children. They also say that they don't have access to these cameras, that it's our data that only the people that we choose to give access can see it. But that's also a lie. They have given access numerous times to other entities that we never cleared. And now the FBI is looking to get their own nationwide access to all of these cameras. And underneath the current regime occupying the White House, The potential for massive harm from this mass surveillance system is unbelievable. Innocent, peaceful protesters will be targeted. Immigrants will be targeted. Transgendered individuals will be targeted. These are all things that have already happened in this reign of terror. But it will be implemented much more efficiently with this mass surveillance system. that we're all begging you as our leaders that we've trusted to get rid of them. Not only should we not be paying for them with our tax dollars, we should ban them. Lo's shouldn't have them.

Thank you. Next, we'll go to Taylor online and then Marge. No, Taylor. Marge, you're up next. And then we'll go to Evan online.

Hi, I am Marge Norskog. I live in District 2. Terry Pashtag and I are members of a League of Women Voters but speak as individuals. We attended the most recent work session and this is my assessment of the discussion on flat cameras. First, I want to recognize the Fort Collins Police Department and the city staff. The presentation and discussion that folLod in the work session demonstrated that staff and the police commitment to doing what is best for Fort Collins, even if that means making a course correction and reversing earlier decisions. Second, I want to express my appreciation to the mayor and the council members for their thoughtful questions. Regarding cameras, citizens have generally accepted police body cameras as regulated by state law and red light and speeding cameras as regulated by city ordinance. Unfortunately, when FLOT came to town in 2022, neither the Fort Collins police nor city staff appreciated that these FLOT cameras operate outside of existing regulations. It was citizens who pointed out that because FLOT cameras operate as part of networks, they are collecting data on the pattern of our lives and data networks that have no oversight by national, state, county, or city laws. citizens often don't appreciate how challenging it is for county council members to choose between where they focus their attention and what is the responsibility of city staff thank you council for listening to citizen concerns and evaluating for yourselves the workstation work session was thoughtful and informed thank you for taking up for fort collins what congress and the legislature won't I look to counsel to expediently create ordinances and policies to regulate and control these tools in ways that reflect for Collins values and

protect for Collins privacy rights thank you thank you next we'll go to Evan online we don't have Evan Kimberly online no Kimberly all right Chris no Oh, Chris. Ezraia.

No? You're going to skip? Okay. Nicholas.

All right. And then we'll go to Dustin. I would actually like to echo a lot of what Marge said there. Oh, sorry. A lot of what Marge said there. Body cameras and other recording devices are really useful tools. and honestly automated license plate readers and tracking is probably also very useful but it provides a huge risk because the city doesn't actually own the data that these cameras are collecting that is the main concern that I have is not even just misused by official sources but misused by sources that are not official and that are trying to get into this huge trove of national and even international data because they have been it's been widely shown that these are not particularly secure in many of the different software providers i think when the city decides on what sorts of automated license plate readers they want to use in the future they should really look to make sure that that data is tightly controlled by the city and that it isn't networked together so that it can be used by bad actors. I would also very much appreciate that if you guys get to the agenda item, the additional business item, that the data be for now until proper guidelines can be put into place to stop allowing FLOC to retain any of that data until such time as we have good protections. Thank you so much. Oh, and I forgot to mention where I'm from. I'm from District 3, LeMay and then Trophy.

Thank you. All right, next we'll go to Dustin and then Patrick. Dustin? Not seeing Dustin. Patrick?

All right, go to Sean online. No. Maverick online? Okay. Ian? All right, thanks Ian. And then we'll go to Kate online.

I'm Ian O'Brien. I'm in District 5. And I'm here to say, to reiterate, to say no to Flockhammers in Fort Collins. I only have two minutes, so I guess I'll focus more on kind of concrete reasons why not. These will be abused. And it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. I was at the meetings when Fort Collins PD was giving their spiel about the system and they kept saying that they have no control over a bad actor if they know hire a cop that decides to stalk a woman that says no to him at a bar one night and follow her somewhere or you know if there's a minor that they want to go after they contract their license plate this is ripe for abuse people will be harmed by this and if it's not our town the data will be given to loveland police or somewhere in Greeley, who knows. And as we're seeing, the FBI now wants to buy this data as well. And for current administration, we have seen ICE execute people in the streets. This is the last thing we need to do is give people this kind of access to information, because it's not just license plates, it's location data, what direction you're going, speed you're going, anywhere you could possibly be. This AI is able to determine that information based on where you're going and how fast you're going. So this is not just license plates. This is a mosaic of your activity and your existence as you move around. There have been Supreme Court cases against the use of data without warrants. Carpenter versus United States is a 9-0 decision that using GPS data without a warrant is not alLod. you have to get a warrant for that information and i can easily see this being a mosaic just like gps data is without a warrant thank you for your time thank you okay all right no kate online

uh we'll go to zane and then matthew

hello my name is zane miller i'm a resident of district 2 and i'm employed as an electronic

engineer. I am quite concerned by the development of Flock cameras around the

country and in our city. Echoing many of the comments before, I just don't put

much trust in a private company to handle all the information that they're

collecting in a fair and reasonable way for everyone around the country.

And I just, I have a lot of questions about what's going on behind the scenes, since we've got

both company representatives and police officers

who've been engaged in scandals of

unsavory access to what these cameras can record.

And so at the very least, I want to exercise caution with use of the cameras and consider removal as an option if there are just too many unknowns and too many arrests involved.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Matthew?

Good evening. I'm Matt Smalls. I live in District 1. I'm actually your neighbor. I came today to express my reservations about the city's use of ALPRs. I am strongly opposed to their deployment in our community. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't pretend to fully understand the constitutionality of warrantless automated surveillance, but I do know that no judge would ever grant a search warrant for every car in Fort Collins. nor is there any constitutional way to establish probable cause for any crime at any time by anyone

that's more of an east german soviet thing than a northern colorado thing and i'm not a lawyer but i am a computer nerd i built my first pc back in the 1900s when i was 10 i could code in six languages by the time i left high school and i've penetrated systems that were far more secure than a flock safety camera that I owned.

I'm not a Luddite, and I strongly resent Chief Swoboda's implication that anyone opposed to mass warrantless surveillance just doesn't understand the technology or is solely opposed to its implementation because the police are using it. I understand the technology. I understand it very well, and I understand why a police department would be in favor of such system. I mean, which police agency wouldn't want the ability to search the whole city for any car at any time? That sounds pretty cool, right? But the problem is there's a massive potential for abuse and no system of accountability when the technology is in fact abused.

There have been numerous instances of law enforcement officers across the country using flock cameras to stalk and harass women, for example. The potential exists for the weaponization

of ALPRs against dissident political groups and again no mechanism for accountability.

I understand the technology and I oppose it. I want them gone now.

Thank you. We'll go online to Naaman. Go ahead.

Hi. My name is Nima Day. I'm from District 4. I actually want to discuss the flock cameras and I share a lot of similar sentiments to the people who've actually voiced their discontent before. For a bit of background, I'm a product manager at Microsoft and I've been delivering software products for over a decade. I've been working, I specifically work in security and my background before that was working in AI, machine learning, like in pharmaceuticals and stuff. So I have really deep knowledge of this space and I'm not, as the previous speaker said, I love that term. I'm not a Luddite. I actually understand the technology and that's why I'm so against it. I think that just to summarize that this type of sensitive, sensitive public data that we did not approve of being utilized for whatever means being utilized for shouldn't be owned by external third party. It should be owned by the city. And if that's not available, then this isn't something, we should be taking our time, we're not doing it at all. I think that if we proceed with this, we should probably look into maybe publishing the list of authorized users. So apparently on FLOC's own documentation, they say that authorized users are actually defined by the customer themselves. So in our case, it would be our city and our police department. whatever authorized users we allow at least from our city to access the flock data I think as a very first step we should at least have the ability to have that authorized list of viewers who can view that data published in a publicly accessible place it can be data that is susceptible to the same rules as Quora records or it can just be online but I think that if we proceed with the vlog cameras than that authorized list of users that we have started thank you

next we'll go to Ann and then Elsa thank you hi good evening my name is Ann DuPont I'm a water a Saunders West resident and a board member and treasurer of waters edge County. Metro District Number Two. I, like many of my neighbors, love the developer Bill Swallings Vision for the Saunders Neighborhood. A vibrant community of people supported by amenities such as a learning center and pool, exercise and artist studios, pickleball courts, community gardens, and the non potable irrigation system that would conserve water and reduce water costs. I moved in in December of 2023 and I love my neighbors and community. But I'm paying much higher taxes because of the Metro District structure. And I see little benefit from it the learning center and pool will be completed this next month But it is only because a new builder would not sign a contract to develop a large number of lots in Saunders West until the devil developer committed to this amenity The developer committed to the above mentioned amenities via service plan and public benefits agreement That were used to support the justification for the Metro district and the higher tax rates that we are paying my understanding is that these are binding obligations in the meantime bill swallin is commencing with a new development called Saunders village just east of Turnberry he told us that we will not receive our remaining benefits until Saunders village is underway and home sold which is likely five plus years out at least this is absolutely unacceptable why should we wait well he moves forward with this new development and has not met the obligations that were part of the metro district and saunders approval the city commenced with an investigation in december of 2025 while the final report identified areas of non-compliance it does not outline a clear plan to hold the developer accountable for meeting the obligations in the service plan and public benefits agreement i'm asking this city take enforcement action toward the developer city council should advise the city of fort collins to make it clear that no additional permits, approvals, or future pays the visas will move forward. All right. Next we will go on to Elsa.

Thank you. Elsa? All right. Not seeing Elsa. Nicole online? No, Nicole. We'll go to Danielle.

Danielle, if you're online, please unmute yourself. Ah, hello. My name is Danielle Melgut. I am in District 5. Can you all hear me? Yes, go ahead. I wanted to thank all council members for thinking critically about this issue and to Chief Swoboda for updating the record in the work session last week about the convoy and pattern of analysis, pattern of life analysis that the city has used. I want to share a perspective that illuminates the broad reaching nature of what we think of as just a few cameras. Quoting from a footnote4a.org article on the Oshkosh, Wisconsin cancellation due to vendor lies about the pattern of life feature. Quote, pattern of life is what makes flock flock. A single camera that reads a license plate and checks it against a list of stolen vehicles is a tool, a narrow tool with narrow uses. A network of many cameras aggregating every read on every plate into a queriable history of where a driver has been, brightened into a heat map, is something categorically different. End quote. That's the issue I see with all the surveillance we have. I urge you to consider what happens when all of the now disparate pieces of equipment that each gather bits of information about us are aggregated together into larger systems. All the cameras we have around us that seem benign now or have been around forever will inevitably be updated with the latest in surveillance technology, whether we install new equipment or the vendor that has gathered our data chooses to share it into a new, larger system. And we need to be thinking about how that affects us all. Please join 68 other cities across the country rejecting FLOC and other AI-based ALPR camera systems. Surveillance is not inevitable. Surveillance is not safety. Thank you. Great. Waleed?

Greetings, Council and Mayor. My name is Waleed Rahman, District 1. Before I begin, I'd like to thank you all for your continued engagement with the community on this topic. It means a lot to all of us.

I'd like to address something that Chief Swoboda said last week, and I quote,

this is not a violation of anyone's civil rights. It's simply a fact that it's not a violation of

the Fourth Amendment. With all due respect to Chief Swoboda, history has shown us that our laws typically lag far behind our values. In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that segregation was perfectly legal. For nearly 60 years, that was the law. But that legal stamp of approval didn't change the reality that segregation was a fundamental violation of

human dignity. We saw the exact same pattern with LGBTQ rights in 1986. The Supreme Court ruled in Bowers v. Hardwick that the state had a legal right to police citizens in their own private bedrooms. It took 17 years before the court finally corrected itself, admitting that the previous judges had been wrong from the very beginning. That leads us to today. A judge in

Norfolk, Virginia, saying that the flock cameras are legal for now is no different. It is a snapshot of a slow legal system struggling to catch up to a new technological reality. While the founders could not have envisioned the surveillance tools of 2026,

the Fourth Amendment was written to ensure that as technology evolves,

our right to live without having our every move monitored by the state remains intact. Mayor Francis, City Council, you have a choice.

You can hide behind the temporary cover of a slow-moving legal system, or you can lead. You can wait for a Supreme Court mandate to tell you that tracking every citizen's movement is wrong, or you can decide today that the constituents you were elected to serve deserve better than legal for now. I am once again urging this council to immediately turn off and move the ALPRs until we can do the necessary legwork of creating a surveillance ordinance framework that is aligned with the values of this community. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Michael?

Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, Council. Michael Young, District 1. Thank you for your time. I attended the work session on May 12th, and I want to start by saying how much I appreciate members of Council stating their positions on the use of flock cameras.

Councilmember Padayandi in particular said that she dislikes ALPR technology, but that she has concerns about what discontinuing the flock contract might mean for children with disabilities who might be abducted. Tell me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like Council might be interested in a network of cameras that could be selectively activated, say only during Amber Alerts. This would be a much more sympathetic use of ALPRs than the constant dragnet surveillance of every Fort Collins resident. Now listen, of the four options offered by Fort Collins police, I like option four. Four is in 1984. But if ALPRs bother you and Flock bothers you and you want more powerful Amber Alerts, that's something the council could consider. I also want to address something the police chief Swoboda said. The chief said that residents of Fort Collins should have no expectation of privacy in public and that ALPRs are, quote, as a fact, not a violation of anyone's rights. I would refer counsel to the Supreme Court decision in United States v. Jones, in which the court recognized that continuous monitoring of a vehicle violates a reasonable expectation of privacy and can constitute a search requiring a warrant. The Supreme Court hasn't addressed ALPRs directly yet, but for chiefs who voted to characterize such unsettled questions as settled fact is insulting to the intelligence of this council. It made me wonder, did Fort Collins police meet with representatives from FLOC in preparation for the May 12th meeting? Either way, 67 cities across the U.S. have now canceled their contracts with FLOC, and I would just like to ask city council to reach out to one or more of these cities before making a final decision. Finally, please don't think of me as a concerned citizen. Think of me instead, in the words of FLOC CEO Garrett Langley, as a, quote, terrorist, motivated by chaos, doing my best to normalize lawlessness. Thank you again for your time. Thank you. Next, we'll go to August Carter online.

Hi, can you hear me okay? Yep, go ahead. Wonderful. I'm August Carter. I'm a citizen in District 2, and I wanted to bring up some things that Flock has been used for. In Kansas, a police chief used Flock 164 times to track his ex-girlfriend. In Georgia, a police officer was arrested for using Flock to stalk and harass citizens. In Virginia, a man sued the city over privacy violations and discovered that Flock had been tracking him around four times a day. And in 2025, a Texas sheriff used data from 83,000 ALPR cameras across the nation, including in states where abortion is legal, to try and find a woman who he believed had an abortion. I want to emphasize what other people have said, that the city does not own this data and our own police officers are saying that they cannot protect against bad actors. The potential benefits of constant surveillance do not and never will outweigh the potential dangers. Please get these out of our city. Thank you. Next we'll go to Glenn. No Glenn. We'll go

a casey online my name is roxanne artem 80525 council members i'm asking you to terminate our contract with flock safety at the last working meeting when asked whether flock could monetize or use our data the answer was essentially the contract says the data is ours but the assurance is only as strong as the contract terms behind it and flock has recently changed its standard terms According to the ACLU's review of FLOC's term and conditions, 1. FLOC removed language that said FLOC does not own and shall not sell customer data. 2. Their newer terms give FLOC the exclusive right to control the method, timing, format, and medium of access to data. 3. They give FLOC a perpetual right to use customer data to support and improve its services, even after a city ends the relationship.

Finally, they've had arbitration and liability language that makes it harder and more expensive for taxpayers to hold Flock accountable.

That would be concerning from any company, but Flock's record makes it worse.

These are just some of the examples.

In Evanston, Illinois, Evanston, Illinois accused Flock of violating state law by allowing federal border enforcement access to license plate data.

Evanston then moved to terminate the contract and Flock later reinstalled cameras there without city permission.

In Mountain View, California, police shut off Flock cameras after discovering federal agencies' access data without the department's permission or knowledge. And in Colorado, Nine News reported that Flock admitted to giving access to federal border agents through a secret pilot program after previous public denials. There were 25 unknown Colorado departments accepting the request despite state laws banning such sharing. Thank you, Council Members, for your time.

Thank you. Next we'll go to Casey online and then Spencer.

Hi, my name is Casey Golahue. I'm in District 2. Thank you for allowing me to make this comment virtually. That's quite a luxury that some cities don't offer. To begin, I'll start and end with the same statement. we want these cameras gone. We don't want another vendor and there's a lot to gain from removing them. Particularly you're going to gain the public's trust. Option four is what the city is begging for. At a minimum I think the board should immediately cancel our contract with Flock and remove the cameras from their positions with the goal of removing all ALRPs at a future date. When it comes to surveillance it's really hard to argue against something that's actively solving crimes i know but here's the question if the city had cameras in everybody's homes and cars capturing data on their movements and conversations would we solve more crimes yeah of course we would but is that right or wrong well that's what we're facing now at the last board meeting there seemed to be a lot of concern around removing the current cameras and that there would potentially be a gap in the police's ability to solve cases i 100 understand that these cameras are amazing at assisting officers was swiftly locating people. However, removal of these cameras may seem harsh, but that's only because we have had a taste of their privacy breaching power. The Fort Collins police has reassured us that they would be more than capable of solving crimes and solving cases with their skilled officers without the use of these slot cameras and on-mic license plate readers. The board is painfully aware that Flock is not trustworthy. I am not here to speak up against the Fort Collins Police Department is not the data that they have access to, the systems that they use that concerns me. It's what Flock has. Seven days of data storage, 48 hours of data storage. It makes no difference when an untrustworthy private company owns the data collection service in a world where data trends can be calculated for profit. Besides, how can the data be truly deleted if the police can submit a request for flux. Thank you. All right, next we'll go to

Spencer and then Brian online. Hi, I'm Spencer from District 5 and I've used a professional experience with both cloud and on-prem storage and therefore I'm qualified to contrast hardware versus software as a service solutions. So thinking about like home security cameras, a lot of people who are privacy conscious will just buy the camera hardware and then hook it up to an application they host themselves. Oftentimes this is something open source like Frigate, which actually has like built-in AI detection models. Like it'll tell you like when someone like walks, you know, in your backyard or whatever. But with software risk solutions, which I worry that the RFP is just gonna only invite these, you get systems more like Ring, where all this stuff is in the cloud and we don't really have control over it. And like, there's just a higher level of trust because just so much of it is out of our control. So with AWS's CJS, DevCloud, specific users can be authorized or specific apps can be authorized and applications like the control panel that FCPS sees.

�� so quickly via back doors because of this lack of control.

And I don't think city staff is even alLod to look

for these sort of back doors by which this would happen. FLOC says anonymized data is collected and I wanna see proof of anonymization.

And here an explanation is how this does not contradict data retention policies.

With infrastructure so far out of reach, we can hardly know if our policies are being respected. With FBI money in offer, I do not trust FLOC

not to fold quietly. Thank you.

Thank you.

Next go to Brian online. Go ahead, Brian, and then Tyler in person.

Thanks, council. My name is Brian Coonan.

I'm a resident of Saunders Fort Collins. I came here to speak just in solidarity with my neighbors, Joan and Ann, as someone who brought his young family up to Fort Collins to raise and grow our kids. We came here with an expectation of what we were sort of sold and bought, and just hearing

recently that some of these things are going to be dragged out and promises may not be delivered.

We've considered whether or not this is the place that we can be with our kids in the short term and the long term.

So just really asking for support and speaking up for those who have less maybe money and power and helping those with some quieter voices. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Tyler, and then we'll go to Tim online.

My name is Tyler Davidson, and I'm with District 5. Thank you very much for listening to me tonight. Every time I come up here, I intend to speak extemporaneously just to bring up the things that have resonated with me the most. And last week, something resonated with me a great deal. Chief Swoboda is, quite frankly, the wrong branch of government to be an authority on the Constitution. That is the judiciary branch's job, not the executive branch. and he is out of line. I want that to be clear. One more thing. The police are lacking credibility about what is and is not an appropriate use of law, legal standards, tools, or weapons. And billions upon billions of dollars of legal settlements around the country every year are proof enough of that. So it's time to stop thinking of the Fort Collins or any police department as some kind of be-all, end-all, know-all authority, because they don't.

Now, another thing I've heard over and over and over again about people who have done a great deal of research about all of the abuses of Flock. And one gentleman earlier tonight brought up, once again, one of my favorite items from history, that infamous secret services loved to use surveillance tactics just like Flock.

and that's unconscionable. We certainly shouldn't be paying our tax dollars for it.

It is our constitutional duty. It is your constitutional duty. You swore an oath to

uphold the Constitution and we're asking you to do it. Finally, we brought an award. The Northern Colorado Privacy Coalition came up with an award. This is to be given to the first person who came

out in favor of flock and unfortunately i cannot award it thank you thank you tim go ahead tim and then we'll do emma in person hello council my name is tim i live in district two last week i attended the working session to discuss flock cameras in our community and i'm extremely disappointed in the council and not entertaining the idea of option four i agree with the previous presenters and I am not voicing opposition to red light cameras, body cameras of the like. I understand these AI LAL PRs. I myself am a software engineer in the identity security space. I'm not a Luddite. Some things to note from last week, while the presentation was quick to state that flock does not violate the fourth amendment, what they left out was that courts have already ruled on a similar technology in the use of cell phone dragnet warrants, which were deemed unconstitutional. Why should we wait for the law to catch up and let this current gray area subvert our Fourth Amendment rights? Coming back to the presentation, why wasn't there any discussion on the impact of using Flock? Yes, we heard about Flock's use in over 100 cases with half leading to arrests or citations, but it doesn't really paint a full picture of the impact. Based on the Fort Collins Crime Stats webpage, we had over 4,000 plus crimes a year over the past five years. It's a little bit more than 1% of crimes in the city. Why are we signing up for this service if it has such a minimal impact on our total crimes? We've already seen what the government has done in the name of protecting the people with already documented invasions of privacy with the Patriot Act and PRISM program. Why are we okay with this, let alone paying for our own loss of privacy? I strongly urge the council to change their opinion and to stop their use of FLOC ALPRs. And if they truly believe what the community wants, put it up to vote. Thank you. Next we'll go to Emma.

Hi, my name is Emma Vakili. I live in District 2. I want to add my voice to the anti-FLOC chorus here. And while I haven't come armed with as much hard data as many previous commenters, it's important to me that you all know that there are more city residents opposed to the system and then the 33 people that chiefs were voted reference in the working session last week. I'm glad you have a good relationship with the police department, but I don't care how much you trust them, frankly. Giving away our residents' Fourth Amendment rights is unacceptable with or without a transparent process. Allowing law enforcement to access data about our movements and habits without probable cause puts everyone at risk of overreach, whether it's by local entities or state or federal. And aside from those concerns, it also hands our data over to a private company that's essentially unaccountable to anyone under the current administration and they can do whatever they want with their data. We need the cameras going on.

Thank you. Thank you. That is everyone we have signed up for public comment tonight, so we will now end public comment, and we'll move on to public comment follow-up. I just want to remind everyone that we will most likely discuss Flock next steps under other business, and I do want to encourage those from the Saunders neighborhood to meet with our city staff and city attorney to discuss some of these issues. I think it's more appropriate for that step to happen next and for council to intervene at this point so with that i'll turn it over to council for public comment

follow-up council member conway yeah i'll just um thank all the residents from saunders for making their voice heard there's limited amounts of things um council can say or do around um development projects because we are the board that will hear an appeal if a quasi judicial review comes to us and so we're limited in what we can can and can't say on these kinds of topics so

anyone else councilmember home i just want to thank everyone for coming out and continuing to express your um your points of view um regarding flock and even with saunders and i do have a request for um the information that's coming to us um thursday is there a way to um just check and see if we do have the latest and greatest terms and conditions from flock or at least find out when they were updated last just to make sure we're dealing with the absolute latest information

is that possible um yeah i i'm looking at our city attorney's office i think what we can commit to here is, again, we'll reach out, and I don't know what latest and greatest might entail, because it seems like some different communities have done different things, but we'll provide the latest we have. And Carrie, do you have something else to add?

Yeah, I just, for clarification, are you wanting to make sure that council has the

most current version of our contract? Yes, because that will also indicate what flock has agreed to it's our language so yes please thank you

thanks all right anyone else okay we'll move on to the consent calendars does any one on council wish to pull an item for individual discussion from the consent calendar seeing none is there a motion to approve the items on the

consent calendar yeah I move to approve items 1 through 14 on the consent

calendar a second we have a motion by mayor potent and a second by council member Nelson any further discussion yeah councilmember findy thank you mayor I

just wanted to thanks appreciate our staff who have worked on our singer haul single hauler trash contract and making adjustments and fine-tuning as we've gone the most recent change around how we manage small multi-unit housing Complexes I think was much needed and I know that's a small proportion of our customers But like a great example of a real need being brought and staff making the adjustments So thanks for your attention to those resident concerns and making that change Thank you anyone else

Right seeing none will the clerk please call the roll

Francis yes Pina Terrell yes Nelson yes Yes. Hovind? Yes. Patyandi? Yes. Fudge? Yes. Conway?

Yes. All right. That passes 7-0. Do Council Members have any other comments on the consent calendar? Seeing none, there are no staff reports tonight. Do Council Members have any reports? Council Member Patyandi?

Thanks, Mayor. And I'll be quick. I just wanted to mention that in the last couple of weeks, there have been some events in the community that I think are of note. Last Friday was Peace Officers Memorial Day that just gives folks an opportunity to recognize folks who have lost their lives in duty to our community and the police services. So that was a really lovely and poignant event at Port Hawthorne Police Services.

And then also quite a while back, but gosh, like a week and a half ago, a lot of us got to attend Homeward Alliance's annual un-gala, raising money for a really vital nonprofit in our city that helps take care of our in-house population and really partners with us around housing, homelessness, and getting folks into long-term stable housing that they can afford. So happy to celebrate both of those great anyone else

Councilmember fudge

Thank you, so I had a chance to attend the health district of northern Larimer counties open house on Friday, and it was Really interesting and really educational. It's a great facility. They have there where they provide dental health care and behavioral health services among others to

to underrepresented and underserved populations here in our community. So that was a great event. Also on Friday morning, I was grilled for about an hour by the Chamber of Commerce's local legislative affairs committee. That was a fun event. And as you might imagine, they were definitely interested in housing and asking how we were gonna make sure we were gonna push that goal through. So I appreciate that. And then I don't know if I'm stealing anybody's thunder, but we just had dinner with the graduates from the latest CityWorks 101 program,

which was awesome. the folks at my table were very inquisitive and love talking about the

budget which rarely happens I found so I appreciated that and it's always good

to have folks be interested and willing to be educated on how the city works and and they can talk to their neighbors and friends and really get more involved so

that's it councilmember Hovind under stole it's good thank you anyone else

I'll just mention that during the proclamation portion of tonight's agenda out we did have an award presented to the city for our Vision Zero for Youth US Leadership Award which was from the National Safe Routes to School so just a big shout out to our active modes team for achieving that award which is awarded to only one city a year so congratulations all right next we will consider we don't do that we will go on to other business since we have no discussion items do council members have any other business to come before council I'll just say there was a motion provided but I feel more comfortable I appreciate that you know moving forward with the citizens review board and the surveillance and privacy ordinance I do think it would be helpful to have a few options presented for retention time and automated access to data to be presented to council for consideration on the June 2nd meeting I think those are the other two pieces that I heard that maybe there wasn't quite consensus around but having some options just on the kind of trade-offs of different days for retention and then the automatic access to data if you support it you

sort of say yes because then it will come for us yes yes thank you yes all

right do you have what you need yes okay great is there any other business to
