- Title

Surveillance record
- Sept 3, 2026. Presided over Police Chief Blair Myhand’s presentation on the city’s fifteen plate readers, an agenda item filed with no motion attached (the full account, with timestamps). Before council’s questions she said the meeting was not the place for public questions, that there would be opportunity for public input and discussion, and that those events would be advertised (1:04:41). No date was given, and none had been announced as of Sept 8. The item ended without a vote or any direction to staff.
In her words
Sept 3, 2026, at 1:04:41, from the city’s recording, with repeated words removed: “We’re not really here to answer public questions this evening. This was a presentation, as the chief said. There will be some opportunity for public input and discussion; those events would be advertised. This is a time for council members to ask questions.”
The question for her
When are the input sessions she said would be advertised, and will the Flock contract the city manager said would be posted (1:05:08) and the department’s sharing list be on the city’s website before the first one, so residents can read the settings the chief described before they speak?
