(Citywide)
Motion carries. Thank you. 11, which we had called earlier. There was no public comment on 11. So go ahead and cast your vote. No, no, I'm going to speak. Oh. Yes. Go ahead. Mr. Andrews. Go ahead. I thank you for this, Amir. You know, I want to have a discussion on this because I think we can be doing more in the city and within our department to partner with Ring before we move forward. I would like to request our city attorney office and our police department to take a look at the possibilities of us implementing a rebate program funded by whichever council office want to partake in it. So with that, I wish that our residents have more assets to these ring doorbell systems. Ring already there's a rebate in other cities like Rancho Palos Verdes and Temple City. And I would like to argue that in the sixth District, and I am sure that other council districts have an interest to. If we are partnership with the ring system access to portal, I would as we offer this good start and should not be a problem. So I am hoping that I can get a second motion to postpone this item to the next council meeting to allow staff to bring back a recommendation. Thank you very. Much. Okay. So we're going to there's a motion to postpone. And let's go back 1/2. We can go back. Councilman, Vice Chair. I want to make the motion to postpone the item. Yes, please. Yeah. You made. Yes, at the moment, yes. Cosmo Richardson. Okay. So let me go to Councilman Mango. So, Councilmember Andrews, I'm. So glad that you brought this up. We recently talked with the promoter for Ring. And did a promotion in our council district. Where we just they have a general policy about it and they're willing to offer $50 rebates if they're purchased through the ring site. It is interesting to note, though, that. There are providers of ring that sell it for less than it is on the ring website with the $50 deduction. So if you buy it from ring, let's say I'm just going make up some numbers. It's $300. You get a $50 rebate, it's 250. But if you buy it at Costco, it's 250, let's say. And so that's kind of been why we didn't feel that the fifth District, that they had many takers to use the the rebate program. Also then the neighborhoods app is an. App that I met with the chief on and showed him how it was working and how it could be a value. How you can box around your neighborhood to specifically see what the police officers are interested in. So I would only ask if they could do it concurrently because I'd love to see a rebate program, but I'd like to see it to be more competitive. And I'd love for our staff to do that while going through this process of the agreement. Is that something you'd be open to? I could be open to that because the fact that I would just like to see that most of our neighbors would really take a look into it and see what it would do for your constituents also. And I'm going to send you an email. That's the contact that we worked with at the time. I would appreciate that. Thank you very much. Well, thank you. There's a motion and a second, a good call, public comment on that. And members, please cast your votes. Motion carries.
