Good evening, everyone. I'll call our meeting to order here in Council Chambers at 6 p.m. Uh roll call, please. Other person silence. Present. Messias. Present. Rosak. President. Timmy and President. Finch. President McNeil. Present. Castro. Schmidt. Present. All right. We don't have any remote electronic attendance. This is going a little crazy. Chief, do we have public comment? Yes. All right. Tom, come on up. We have three minutes. As usual. My name's Tom Keith. This is supposed to be about a movie. I was gonna present tonight, but uh unfortunately I wasn't able to. Okay, friends. So I got cards here if anybody wants any to uh the watch the movie for free online. It's got QR codes on it. Take your smartphone, scan it, and the movie will pop up. Um it's about geoengineering, climate change or weather modification. It goes by many names. So my address and phone number on the cards too on the things. And some people ask why would they do this to themselves? But uh I can answer that question if you want to quit give me a call. And let me remind the council I'm not here to be combative or confrontational, but argumentative. So other than that, uh recent events have come to my attention on the flock camera situation, which I reviewed uh was on April 28th, and uh we now have aerial surveillance proposed with a drone called Flock Aerodome, which will coordinate with the zig existing flock cameras to uh basically spy on you. Essentially there would be no word hide from these these uh cameras. So now there are numerous cities in the US that are outlawing this these cameras and uh Appleton, Wisconsin is one of them. The whole council chamber was filled up with people and they stopped. So I hate to see the city put all these cameras in, they're gonna be taken out again. I really don't want my tax dollars spent for that kind of stuff, so of course everybody'll say this is for your safety, but uh that's what the Germans said during World War II. And these systems are being hacked by private people and are being vandalized in the UK. I don't plan on doing any any hacking, but uh I might encourage other people to do this. So thanks for listening. Thank you, Mr. Keith. We move to uh is there anyone else?
