We're gonna go ahead and get started.

It's good to have everybody here tonight.

This is uh this is a bonus meeting for us.

Uh most often we uh approve the annual fiscal year budget the first Tuesday of June.

Uh, but given that the state had some moving pieces, uh, we pushed this back to tonight.

Uh so here we are.

It is Monday, June 9th, 2026.

Um, and I'm going to ask Clerk Spring or excuse me.

Uh Clerk Howard, thank you.

Uh, roll for us.

Taylor, here, President Fisher, here.

Johnson, here, Call Pepper.

Myers, here, Thornton.

Here, Handy.

We have a floor.

All right, thank you, Madam Clerk.

All right.

Um, our civility pledge is in front of me as provided by the Georgia Municipal Association.

It indicates that uh we govern ourselves well when our collective decisions have allowed differing views to have the opportunity to be fully vetted and considered, when all people have the right to be treated with respect, courtesy, and openness.

Uh, we also value all input and commit to conduct ourselves at all times with civility and courtesy to each other.

Uh so we have three items of business tonight, two items of old business, uh, one item of new business, and now is the time of the evening when we provide public input.

Uh, terms of public input are a single three minute opportunity.

There's a light in front of the clerk toward that will turn green when you provide your name and place of residence.

It will turn yellow when you have thirty seconds remaining, and red when your three minutes has concluded.

And I'll thank you for your time with us.

So is in fact any member of the public here tonight who'd like to speak to us?

Hello, my name is Tuesday Demeter.

Uh, I live in Athens, Clark County's uh second district.

Um, and I have concerns over the implications of flock spending on the budget listed on page one hundred thirty-four C ninety-seven.

Um, according to Mitter, who worked for our two who work to manage and assess uh cybersecurity threats, uh, these cameras are not only unsafe.

Uh, they play an active role in the criminality that they claim to deter.

In Dunwoody, California, or in Dunwoody, Georgia, in September of 2025, disclosed via open records requests.

Flock Vice President of Business Development, Bob Carter, access these cameras in the uh gymnastics room of Marcus Marcus Jewish community center of Atlanta.

Randy Gluck, another flock safety employee in business development, access the same room alongside preschool, daycare center areas and fitness gyms.

This isolated incident is unrelated to the spending of the license plate readers in downtown areas, but represents to me and hopefully this body that access to these cameras through external means is possible and is not conducive to reduced crime in our community.

Returning to minor and common vulnerabilities and exposures, nonprofits who release uh publicly available information on this security risks.

Uh there are about 28 cybersecurity vulnerabilities within both license plate readers and Android apps for accessing the camera's footage and more whose vulnerabilities range range from quick and easy access to this footage from an external attacker to personalized information being presented in clear text or insecure data being readily accessible and available to read by anyone in the county with access to these cameras.

MITRE and CV also cite vulnerabilities and accessibility, meaning that any lay person uh in the county can readily access these cameras and get instant access to personal lives of people living here.

I hope that this body will discuss this as a breach of security to our neighborhoods and not as a means to reduce crime in Athens Clark County.

Thank you, Tuesday.

Is there anyone else here to speak to us this evening?

All right.

Uh seeing none, we'll come for a discussion of old business.

Uh I know manager Cowell, there was uh interest in a brief presentation around some of the contours of our enterprise fund budgets.

And uh so uh get given our interest in that.

I'm gonna go ahead and relocate uh temporarily.

Thank you.

And I'll be um very brief about this.

Um, you all a couple of you had requested, and I think everyone concurred that um you would benefit from a little bit more uh information about how the budget presents enterprise funds and what goes into those enterprise funds.

Um, I would say that it's best also to view this as maybe a precursor to an upcoming work session item because I think that it you will everyone will benefit from digging deeper into um into these as well.

So I'll start by um first making certain that everyone who's viewing and in the room and otherwise um kind of understands the significance of enterprise funds and what they are and how they differ.

So the easiest way to explain it is when you and I get our tax bill and we pay our taxes, those taxes come to you all, and you decide where and how to spend those.

Um, and it can be spent near where we live or have a business, or it can be spent elsewhere.

Enterprises are conducted as businesses, so they're business-like operations, which means that the people who use those services pay for those services, and the dollars collected for those services are used for those.

So they're actually very targeted, they're not available to use for other purposes generally, um, in those cases.

Um, so that that's one of the significant differences, and that differs a little bit from special revenue funds.

So in our budget, we have general fund, which is basically that the tax dollars that come in, special revenue funds which are collected for a specific purpose and can go to that specific purpose only, and then of course, enterprises, which again are business like operations.

Um we have um several of those in um our um budget.

These will many of these are followed by a lot of other communities, and then other communities will have other um enterprises as well.

So the ones that we use are uh airport, landfill, water and sewer, solid waste, and stormwater.
