Good morning staff, good morning, Wichita, and good morning to all of you.

Thank you for joining us for this morning city council meeting on April 28th.

I call this meeting to order.

Can you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?

Thank you all.

Madam Clerk, please call the first item.

Approve the minutes of the regular meeting April 14th, 2026 and April 21st, 2026.

Council members, any items to be edited.

I see none.

I move to approve the minutes for the regular meetings for April twenty fourteenth and April 21st.

Second.

Motion second discussion.

See none.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

All those opposed, same sign.

Motion passes seven zero.

Madam Clerk, please call the next item.

Public agenda.

We now come to public agenda.

The public agenda allows for up to five speakers to have five minutes each to address the city council.

Please bear in mind that this is not a period of dialogue with council or a question and answer period.

This is your opportunity to address the city council with your concerns.

Speakers will please speak into the microphone.

Please state their name and address for the record.

A time clock will display the speaker's remaining time to speak.

Order and rules of decorum will be observed.

The first speaker is Brad Heagler.

Flock camera implementation.

However, while I acknowledge that they're potential in aiding law enforcement, uh I'm deeply concerned about the lack of strong oversight.

These cameras are network connected and deployed in public spaces, which means any system like this is a potential target.

Their design, including external ports, creates vulnerabilities that must be independently audited rather than relying solely on vendor assurances.

Second, authentic authentication is a critical gap.

And network credentials are hard coded in an unencrypted manner.

Even if consumer accounts have stronger safeguards, shouldn't our law enforcement at least meet those standards, if not exceed them.

Third, we have to address the transparency and data retention.

While it's claimed that not only vehicle data is captured and stored briefly, independent studies show that images of people are sometimes stored longer, sometimes even months.

Without certainty on what is collected and how long it's stored, we cannot have public confidence in these systems.

Finally, we have already seen misuse in our own region.

Officers in Kichai and Cedric have abused these systems for personal reasons, proving this risk is real, not theoretical.

Even if these systems stay in place, they must be governed by transparency, accountability, and independent oversight.

Without that, we risk not only privacy but also the integrity of our justice system.

Thank you.

Thank you, Brad.

We have space for four other individuals who would like to address the council.

I see none.

We'll now move it back to the bench.

With that, I see no comments from council members.

Madam Clerk, please call the next item.

Consent agenda items one through eleven.

Council members, any items to be pulled.

I only have one item, and I'm only pulling it because of uh of inaccuracy.

That item is agenda item number 10.

With that, um, I will go ahead and move to approve consent agenda items one through 11.

Second.

Motion second discussion.

See none.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

All those opposed, same sign.

Motion passes six zero.

Uh item number ten actually resides in district number one, not district number three.

Um eight two eight North Poplar is in council member Shepard's district.

I just want to highlight that items nine, ten, eleven are all housing items.

Uh, all of these properties were valued uh below the price that the individuals paid for.

So uh this is positive uh as these properties are selling for more than what they're appraised.

Um just wanted to highlight again item number 10.

Uh, this is a property built in 1996 with three bedrooms, and it was valued at 69,000, and the uh buyer bought it for 78,000.

So again, uh just want to highlight that uh people are buying these affordable homes and under uh 100,000.

So again, uh I see no further comments regarding this item.

Because I pulled it, that allows for anyone in the public who would like to speak on this item to speak on it.

I see no one in the public who would like to speak on this item.

I'm bringing it back to the bench.

With that, I go ahead and move to approve consent agenda item number 10 with the correction that it's in district number one.

Second motion, second discussion.

See none.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

All those opposed, same sign.

Motion passes 7-0.

Madam Clerk, please call the next item.
