Thank you so much. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Will the clerk please affix my signature to the legislation on my behalf? Item 13 Will the clerk read item 13 into the recurring agenda? Item 13 Council Bill 120028 An ordinance relating to surveillance technology implementation authorizing approval and uses and accepting the Surveillance Impact Report for the Seattle Police Department's Use of the COP Logic Technology. The committee recommends the bill passes amended. Thank you so much, Councilmember Peterson, back to you to walk us through this item. Thank you. Council President. So this is a technology used for online reporting. It's online reporting for citizens as well as for small business owners. But we did have a lot of questions about this technology, especially from the standpoint of the small business owners reporting. We had our questions answered. We also amended the bill three amendments that passed at committee. I want to thank Councilmember Morales for her amendment and particular regarding the having the Office of Inspector General provide more information as part of their review that continues beyond our passage of this ordinance. Thank you. Thank you so much, Councilmember Peterson. Are there any additional comments on the bill? I'm not seeing any hands raised. I didn't want to. Just for the record, note that we did have a very robust conversation in committee about this particular technology. In particular, I know that there are individuals who are concerned with and I share the concerns about the underlying policy issues related to particular areas where this information may be used by received a lot of assurances and clear, concise responses from the department on and on where the lines are being drawn in terms of sharing information. And that could lead to two to prosecutions or usage in other other way. This is from this information that was also and the committee meeting was also really illustrative. And the fact that we we had a quite a bit of conversation around sort of how do you capture information that could lead to perhaps identifying patterns of disproportionate use of the program, but then wrestled with the idea that that we don't want more information to be captured. And that's the whole purpose of this surveillance in that report, is to limit the capturing of that information. So I think we still have some work to do in the policy areas related to some of these programs. But I, I feel comfortable with the surveillance and reports trying to thread the needle between what kind of information we're gathering and for what purpose. And I look forward to supporting this this bill based on that really robust conversation that we had an opportunity to having has more make. Any additional comments? Kerry none will declare peace called the roll on the passage of the bill. Or both? Yes. Whereas I. Lewis. Yes. MORALES Yes. Scary, I. Peterson. Yes. So what? Yes. Council. President Gonzales, I. Eight in favor, not opposed. Thank so much. The bill passes and the chair will sign it with a quick fix my signature to the legislation on my behalf.
