During the consent agenda, a community member offered public testimony criticizing an opioid outreach contract and questioning data security funding for Pearson Field. The city council approved four of the six consent agenda items outright, but pulled items one and three for further discussion. After addressing questions regarding a pedestrian easement near Chocklove Drive and the escalating costs of a capital facilities project, the council approved the remaining two items.

6:20 - You need your medal. - Oh, a medal? - You need your medal. (audience laughs) - This is from Girl Scouts of the USA. - Okay, there you go. - Beautiful. - Congratulations. (audience applauds) - So Madeline, we hope they give you a free trip back to Greece. For saving a little one.
7:20 Nice job. All right, that brings us into community communication, where we talk about items on the consent agenda, and we have one person, Carmen De Leon, please. - Am I talking to these? - Yep. - See the one? - Yep. - See what I mean? - Okay, so my name is Carmen De Leon, and I go by Mellow. So we're talking about these agenda items, right? So let's go over these items then. Let's see, agenda item four. Contract for opioids that they're gonna drive around. I'm wondering, are they gonna drive around and give people rigs and syringes and drugs? Because that defeats the purpose. I understand coming to people at their own level, they're on the street, yeah, you gotta help 'em, but this really needs to be a seriously oversight.
8:19 Somebody needs to see where every dollar is going, because as we know that they supposedly spent 600,000 on laundry, which I still don't believe. So for them to spend approximately a million a year on driving around helping these tweakers, I wanna see that. I wanna see less people on the street, falling over because they're on dope, and actually getting treatment done
