The Visalia City Council met on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers. The meeting was brief: after general public comments, the consent calendar was approved unanimously, and the meeting adjourned. No items outside the consent calendar were discussed.
So I don't know if that's not the same thing. So I know that they're also like it. Um we want to have the action. And uh put on the other cloud. Yeah, how do you want to reference the video? Welcome to the Visaya City Council meeting. Today is Monday, October fifth, two thousand six, and we're gonna go ahead and get started with our Pledge of Allegiance offered by Councilmember Soto, followed by imitation by Councilmember Nelson. Everybody, please stand. Thank you very much. So we're gonna go on to public comments. Um citizens are now invited to comment on issues within the jurisdiction of the Visaya City Council. The council asks that you keep your comments concise and positive, creative criticism, presented with appropriate courtesy is welcome. The city does not tolerate disruptive behaviors in our meetings. The council is considered a limited public forum, which means the council can regulate the time, place, and manner of speech. Speakers' comments during public comments must be limited to matters within the council's authority, generally referred to as within the council subject matter jurisdiction. If a speaker's comments are not related to council's subject matter jurisdiction, the presiding officer will roll the speaker out of order. A speaker will not be rolled out of order because of disagreement with the content of their speech. And those who are calling in, if you can raise your digital hand now and or dial star nine on your telephone to indicate you wish to speak. And at the appropriate time, star six to unmute yourself. Please begin your comments by stating and spelling your name and providing your city of residence. Each speaker tonight will be allowed three minutes to speak. Good evening, Jim Rage. I saw you. And this is the case, this case is one of the first to so rule. Other courts have ruled differently. And this case is not particularly uh doesn't is not binding on other cases, but uh I expect that there will be more rulings similar to this in the future. On a local level, on September 10th, I requested information on flock derived cases in Viselia from January 4th, 25 through what is it? January, February, March, April, May 29th, 26th, there were 123 incidents of successfully investigated cases or arrests that involved the use of flock cameras. Now, in that time period, using the uh what seems like a consistent number from the transparency page of 350,000 unique plate reads each month. That ends up being 5,950,000 plate reads for 123 incidents. That's zero zero, I'm sorry, 0.0020, 67% success rate for those number of uh images for our system. The city didn't buy anything. It has a subscription to a private company that collects this information. It is not secure, regardless of what Flock says. And it's basically trust us. And um I had more to say, but with a three-minute limit, I guess we're gonna have to stop there. Uh I urge the city to uh reconsider its flock usage of the flock system. It's uh not secure and it's a big imposition on Fourth Amendment rights. Thank you. Good evening.
