UH, THIS YEAR WE'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORMULA ALLOCATION, BUT IF THERE'S RESIDUAL FUNDS, THIS ALLOWS US TO ACCESS THOSE FUNDS.

AND THIS CONTINUES OUR CON THEY HAVE TO PROVE TO HUD EVERY FEW YEARS THAT ALL THESE CITIES ARE STILL COMMITTED.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS HERE.

UNANIMOUS.

NEXT ITEM IS CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION NUMBER 30 DASH 2024, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR'S SIGNATURE ON AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON AND THE CITY FOR CDL TRAINING.

IT WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 30 DASH 2024.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF CLUTE, TEXAS APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON, TEXAS FOR THE CDL TRAINING AND TESTING SERVICES.

WHEREAS THE CITY OF CLUTE, THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON, HAVE LONG PARTNERED ON PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES.

AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON HAS BOTH CAPACITY AND THE WILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE CDL TRAINING TO INCLUDE EMPLOYEES, AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF INCLUDE IS IN NEED OF MORE STAFF TRAINED AND CERTIFIED WITH CDLS.

AND WHEREAS UNDER CHAPTER 7 91, THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, BOTH ENTITIES ARE ABLE TO ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS FOR THE RE RESOURCE SHARING.

WHEREAS BOTH THE CITY OF CLU, THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON, ARE IN AGREEMENT ON THE FORM AND CONTENT OF SUCH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

NOW, THEREFORE BE RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF KLU, TEXAS HEREBY APPROVES THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON FOR PROVISIONS OF CDL TRAINING AND TESTING SERVICES DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENT ATTACHED HERE TO AS EXHIBIT A PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF JUNE, 2024, APPROVED BY MYSELF AND TESTED BY ROSA POINT OF .

SO WE WOULD BE SENDING OUR, OUR STAFF THERE TO TRAIN AND TEST.

UH, NORMALLY WHEN WE DO THIS, WE'VE HAD TO GO TO ALVIN BEFORE, SORRY, JOHN, DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON.

TYPICALLY WHENEVER, UH, EMPLOYEES GO FOR, UH, CDLS, THEY TAKE THE TEST, GET THE PERMIT, AND THEY STUDIED THE WORK, AND THEN THEY HAD TO GO TO THE, UH, DBS OFFICE AND DRIVE WITH THE OFFICER.

NOW, ALL THAT, THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE CHANGED.

IT'S REQUIRING SO MANY HOURS OF TRAINING ON HAND.

THEY WILL STILL ON, ON THEIR OWN, GET THEIR PERMIT, BUT THEN LIKE JACKSON HAS GOT SOME OF THEIR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE TAKING THEIR TIME AWAY FROM THE CITY.

SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY BECOMING TRAINERS WITH THIS OTHER COMPANY WHERE THEY WILL ACTUALLY TAKE THE EMPLOYEES AND SEND 'EM THROUGH THE PROGRAM OF LOOKING AT THE TRUCK, GOING OVER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO, TO GO OVER AND TAKE 'EM THROUGH THE DRIVING PROCESS AND THEN GET 'EM PREPARED FOR THE FINAL TEST TO GET YOUR LICENSE.

UH, SO THAT'S WHERE THOSE HOURS COME IN THERE WHERE THEY, THEY TAKE THE TIME TO DO THAT FOR US.

SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, WORK THROUGH THE LOCAL WITH THEM TO SEND OURS OVER THERE TO WHERE THEY CAN, UH, BE TRAINED BY THE SAME GUY THAT TRAINS THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES.

SO IT'S, IT IS A GOOD WAY OF, OF DOING IT.

OTHERWISE YOU'D HAVE TO SEND 'EM OFF TO A SCHOOL.

I WANNA SAY IT'S LIKE, UH, SEVEN DAYS WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE GONE TO A TRAINING.

UH, AND THE COST OF IT IS, IS IT'S PROBABLY AROUND 35, I THINK AROUND $3,500 TO SEND 'EM TO THIS TRAINING BECAUSE YOU'RE PAYING FOR THE TRAINING, PLUS YOU HAVE TO PAY 'EM OVERNIGHT, STAY TO STAY SOMEWHERE.

SO THIS IS A PROGRAM WHERE THEY'VE, THEY'VE GOT EMPLOYEES THAT ARE TRAINED IN DOING THIS.

AND LIKE I SAID, THEY WILL TAKE THEIR TIME OFF FROM WORK, UH, VACATION BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY PAID FROM THE COMPANY THAT THAT, THAT DOES THIS.

SO, UH, BUT THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE THE EMPLOYEES TO TRAIN 'EM THROUGH THE PROGRAM SO THEY CAN BE PREPARED TO TAKE THEIR CDL TEST.

HOW MANY CDL DRIVERS DO WE HAVE OR DO WE NEED, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY? WELL, MOST OF YOUR EQUIPMENT WITH SANITATION, LIKE YOUR GARBAGE TRUCKS, YOUR, UH, FLATBEDS AND ALL THAT EQUIPMENT REQUIRES CL WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET EQUIPMENT TO WHERE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE CDL TO DRIVE IN THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SIDE.

UM, THERE'S THINGS LIKE THE GRADE ALL THAT REQUIRES A CDL.

NOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY, YOU'RE ABLE TO GET EQUIPMENT THAT IS BELOW THE WEIGHT LIMIT, BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME WORK, SMALLER DUMP TRUCKS.

BUT, BUT

[00:15:01]

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO THOSE WITHOUT CDLS.

BUT MOST ALL OF THE, UH, SANITATION DEPARTMENT HAS CDLS IN THE OTHER, UH, WATER.

SO WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH EQUIPMENT THAT REQUIRES IT WHERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IT IS CRITICAL THOUGH BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME EQUIPMENT WHERE WE NEED PEOPLE TO DRIVE THOSE, BUT IT IS A WAY OF, OF GETTING THIS WITHOUT HAVING A LARGE EXPANSE THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO, TO DO OTHERWISE.

THERE'S MY QUESTION.

I'M SORRY.

I SAID, HERE'S MY QUESTION.

IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE OF THEM THINGS WHEN WE GET 'EM TRAINED, THEY GONNA LOOK, THEY GONNA GET ANOTHER .

WELL, THAT'S, I, I'LL TELL , THAT'S, THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.

BUT ACTUALLY HERE LATELY WE'VE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF GETTING EMPLOYEES FROM THAT SIDE OF LINE OVER HERE.

WELL, I'M TALKING ABOUT, I'M TALKED ABOUT THEY GET C THEY GO THE PLANT, THEY GO ANOTHER OR SOMEWHERE ELSE AND YEAH.

YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT I KNOW OTHER ONES WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WHO IS IN THE WATER SIDE, HE'S, HE'S TRAINING, HE'S, HE'S REAL AGGRESSIVE AND LEARNING EVERYTHING HE CAN.

HE'S EAGER TO GET HIS WATER LICENSE.

HE'S, HE'S ASKED ME ABOUT, UH, GETTING THE CDL AND DOING THAT.

WE WERE WORKING ON THIS HERE, SO I INFORMED HIM THAT HIS PAST, HE WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO GO THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

AND HE'S VERY AGGRESSIVE ABOUT IT.

AND SO I THINK HE'S GONNA BE REALLY GOOD.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER ONES IS THEIR FEAR OF TAKING THE TEST IS, IS IS YOUR BIGGEST HOLD UP, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE AFRAID THEY'RE GONNA FAIL TEST, WHICH ALL YOU FAIL, TAKE IT AGAIN.

RIGHT.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST HANGUPS.

AND WHAT'S THE COST DOING IT THIS WAY? UH, I DON'T KNOW RIGHT OFF HAND.

I DON'T THINK THAT, UH, I THINK THE BASE FEE IS LIKE 17.

OH.

BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY WAY BETTER THAN 3,500.

YEAH.

WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR OVERNIGHT STAY.

WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR MEALS OR PER DIEM.

WE'RE JUST SITTING OVER THERE.

WHAT THEY DO IS OVER PLAYING PARK.

THEY USE THEIR PARKING LOT.

RIGHT.

AND THEY TAKE 'EM THROUGH THE PROCESS THERE.

SO IT, IT IS A, IF, IF THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT, TOTALLY REDUCE A LOT.

AND IS THERE A STIPULATION THAT WE CAN PUT FOR WHENEVER WE DO PAY FOR SOMEBODY TO GET A CDO LICENSE FOR THEM TO STAY FOR AT LEAST A YEAR? WE TYPICALLY, WHAT WE DO IS WHEN WE PUT SOMEBODY THROUGH A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WE PAY FOR, UH, LIKE OUR PARAMEDICS, POLICE, FIRE MARSHAL, WHOEVER, UH, YEAH.

WE TYPICALLY STRUCTURE A, A PAY WEPAY, 'EM A REPAYMENT, A CONTRACT THAT'S TRIGGERED IF THEY LEAVE BEFORE A THAT TIME PERIOD, DEPENDING ON THE TRAINING THAT WE PROVIDE.

SO, UH, I BELIEVE IF IT'S A PARAMEDIC, IT'S A THREE YEAR COMMITMENT FOLLOWING ON, UM, CHIEF WHEN WE DO THREE THREE ALSO FOR POLICE OFFICERS.

SO IF WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT TRAINING, THE, THE CONTRACT BASICALLY SAYS, LOOK, WE'LL PAY ALL EXPENSES SUCH AS TUITION OF THEIR EMPLOYEES DIRECTLY TO THE WILL PAY THESE EXPENSES FOR CURB REVENUE WILL ALSO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.

ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THEIR EMPLOYEE ANY LAKE JACKSON PROPERTY.

.

WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT THOUGH.

, ACCIDENTS NEVER HAPPEN.

YEAH, BUT NO, UH, AT THE END OF THE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YEAH, THEY'RE REQUIRED.

ONCE THEY GET THAT TRAINING, WE EXPECT THE TIME PERIOD AFTER THAT THAT THEY WOULD BE STUCK OR NOT.

OKAY.

AND I JUST SLAUGHTERED THAT SENTENCE.

THEY WOULD BE, THEY WOULD REMAIN WITH THE CITY.

OKAY.

WELL I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN INSTANCES IN THE PAST WHERE WE HAD SENT OFFICERS TO FBI TRAINING AND THIS AND THAT AND A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THEY'RE GONE.

YEP.

AND THEY STILL MAY LEAVE, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY US IN FULL FOR THE TRAINING THAT WE PROVIDED, SO, YEAH.

YEAH.

YES.

YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

NO.

ALRIGHT.

OKAY.

I HAVE A, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 30 DASH 2024.

I WILL MAKE A MOTION MOVE BY COUNCILPERSON MATT, SECONDED BY I'LL SECOND COUNCILMAN LOPEZ.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

THANK YOU.

NEXT ITEM WOULD BE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DENIAL OF CENTER POINT ENERGY'S RATE INCREASE.

AND ON THIS ONE, I THINK I'M JUST GONNA READ THE CAPTION.

WELL, YOU GOTTA REMEMBER, SO CENTER POINT ELECTRIC GETS TO DO THIS AND THEN CENTER POINT TRANSMISSION GETS TO DO THIS.

OH, OKAY.

AND CENTER POINT GAS GETS TO DO THIS.

SO WE GET TO DO THIS DANCE THREE OR FOUR TIMES A YEAR.

GOTCHA.

YEAH.

[00:20:01]

AND SO STAFF OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

IT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR RESIDENTS.

UH, I THINK THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY WOULD BE $17 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES ON THE TOP OF A $60 MILLION TOTAL ADD-ON.

UM, AND WE KNOW THAT ONCE THEY START TAGGING THOSE FEES ON THERE, THEY NEVER, EVER, EVER GO AWAY.

MM-HMM.

, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID IN LIKE JANUARY, BUT THEY POPPED COMMERCIAL, UH, ELECTRIC FOR A LOT.

LIKE THEY TRIPLED MY ELECTRIC, MY BUSINESS ELECTRIC BILL AND THAT ONE OF THOSE, IT WAS ALL CENTER POINTS.

IT'S REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL.

UH, BUT IT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD BECAUSE IT CAN BE GAMED IN WAYS THAT AREN'T APPROPRIATE, ETHICAL OR RESPONSIBLE.

UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON AN INTERNAL AI, WHICH AT ONE POINT WE HOPE TO LAUNCH ON THE WEBSITE THAT WOULD HELP BASICALLY ANSWER QUESTIONS AS THEY COME UP THROUGH THE WEBSITE AS OPPOSED TO SOMEBODY HAVING TO PICK UP THE PHONE NECESSARILY, UH, AND MAKE THE CALL.

SO THERE, IT'S A GREAT TOOL, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE USED APPROPRIATELY.

UH, IN TANDEM WITH OUR USE OF AI .

UH, WE HAD A RUN IN WITH A, UH, A STAFF THAT WAS USING A PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD HAVE HACKED THE ENTIRE NETWORK.

UH, COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO ACCESS AREAS OF THE CITY THAT DID NEED TO BE ACCESSED AND COULD HAVE DUPLICATED ANYBODY'S CARD KEYS.

UM, AND SO, UH, WE DON'T, DID NOT HAVE A, WELL, WE HAVE A TECHNOLOGY USE POLICY IN THE PERSONAL HANDBOOK.

IT DOESN'T REALLY GET INTO SOME OF THE THINGS, SOME OF THE, UH, SPECIFICS THAT THESE TWO POLICIES DO.

AND LANDON AND ANGEL WORKED ON THESE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS, MODELED ON BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHER CITIES.

AND SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVE, UH, APPROVAL OF THE POLICIES MOVING FORWARD.

AND AGAIN, SHE SAYS IT'S A WORKING DOCUMENT, CORRECT.

.

YEAH, BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT NEXT WEEK.

IT PROBABLY, I WAS GONNA SAY THIS IS PROBABLY ALREADY OUTDATED.

SO RIGHT NOW, IS THERE LIKE AN AI SOFTWARE THAT CITY EMPLOYEES USE? YES.

SO WE'VE UH, WE'VE UH, WE'VE GOT, UH, A SUBSCRIPTION TO CHAT GPT-4.

OH.

UH, I'VE USED THAT, UH, WITH, UH, WITH WALLY, UH, FOR ACTUALLY THE PRESENTATION YOU GUYS WILL SEE ON THE 13TH OF JULY.

WE'LL INTEGRATE A LOT OF THAT.

UM, WE USE COPILOT FROM MICROSOFT AND ACCOUNTING.

UH, IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY AI TOOLS THAT REALLY WORKS WELL WITH NUMBERS AND WITH SPREADSHEETS.

SO IT'S REALLY HELPED, UH, WITH HELPED QUERY QUITE A BIT.

UH, MOST OF OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS NOW ARE DONE THAT, AND THEN WE'VE JUST TODAY THEY WENT AND LEARNED HOW TO USE MATRIX, UH, THROUGH CHAT GPT, WHICH WILL HELP US ID WHEN WE HAVE SOMEBODY, WE HAD A, A CANDIDATE THAT ACTUALLY USED AI TO ANSWER TO CREATE WELL, AND AT THE TIME, UH, I GOTTA SAY THERE'S, I DON'T WANNA SAY TOO MUCH, BUT THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT APPLIED FOR A JOB AND WAS REALLY, REALLY ASTUTE ON HIS PRESENTATION, BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIS PRESENTATION WAS BECAUSE HE'D RELIED SOLELY ON AI TO PUT IT TOGETHER.

AND SO, UH, WE WOULD, USING THIS MATRIX TOOL THAT'S JUST BEEN DEVELOPED, WE CAN ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT PRETTY QUICKLY WITH ABOUT 85% ACCURACY THAT IT'S ENTIRELY AI OR HOW MUCH HUMAN INPUT WAS DONE.

SO THAT'S CRAZY.

AND SO NOW IT'S JUST PLAGIARISM WITH AI .

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AND THE CRAZY THING IS, IS, UM, I WAS READING AN ARTICLE AT LUNCH, UH, THERE'S A THEORY NOW THAT EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT WHEN IS IT GONNA PASS CERTAIN BENCHMARKS, LIKE THE ABILITY TO WRITE TRUE PROSAIC POETRY AND IIC, TIM PATTERN, IIC, WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WE ALL HAD TO STUDY IN HIGH SCHOOL THE WAY THAT SHAKESPEARE WROTE AND UH, 'CAUSE IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT IN ARCANE.

AND UH, THE PROJECTION IS NOW 2026.

OH MY, WOW.

YOU CAN ALREADY WRITE, LIKE, I'VE GOT A POEM THAT WILL HAD IT GENERATE FOR THE MOSQUITO FESTIVAL, UM, THAT WE'LL BE SHARING SHORTLY AS WELL.

UH, WE, LANDON WROTE AN ENTIRE, UH, CHRISTMAS ALBUM, UH, THAT HE CAN PLAY FOR YOU AT SOME POINT, UH, USING AI.

SO YEAH.

AND WITH REALISTIC VOICES, IT SOUNDS LIKE DOLLY PARTON SINGING IT'S SNOWING IN HOUSTON.

THAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU'VE EVER HEARD.

UM, SO, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ETHICAL WITH IT BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT DOES COME OUT OF IT, IT'S A TRUE RIPPLE EFFECT BECAUSE IT GOES BACK INTO THEIR LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL.

AND SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THAT ETHICALLY SO WELL IF SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING ON IT, ON THE CITY, DOES SOMETHING WITH IT ON THE CITY COMPUTER THAT IS

[00:35:01]

UNETHICAL, THAT WE'RE ALL LIABLE.

CORRECT.

SO I GUESS NOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR SPELLING MISTAKES, GRAMMAR ERRORS AND STUFF ON RESUMES, JUST TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A HUMAN THAT WROTE IT.

.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

TAKE THAT ENGLISH TEACHER.

THAT'S EXACTLY THAT THAT'S, IT'S ACTUALLY, YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN IT'S, UH, ONE OF MY DOCUMENTS BECAUSE I NEVER PUT A COMMA AFTER.

AND AND AI ALWAYS DOES.

AND SO I ALWAYS GO BACK AND STRIP 'EM OUT AND THEN IT FIGHTS WITH ME.

SO THAT'S, OH MY GOSH.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO ? I'M OLD SCHOOL, SO I GO BY DEPUTY PA NOT THE, UH, WHAT, WHAT IS IT? THE OXFORD COMMA? YEAH.

I'M NOT, I'M NOT AN OXFORD COMMA GUY, SO HECK, HE WAS SPELLCHECK THAT, SO YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY SPELLCHECK TRIES TO JACK WITH ME AS WELL.

I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN THAT LAST ONE WHAT I GOTTEN WRONG.

'CAUSE IT HAD THE BLUE UNDERLINES, BUT IT DOESN'T LIKE WHEN I CAPITALIZED CITY.

SO I KNOW THERE'S LIKE A, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, A COMPANY THAT I WORK FOR, UM, THEY DO LIKE TRAININGS ON LIKE, UH, BEING SECURE WITH LIKE AI MM-HMM.

.

I MEAN THERE'S OTHER COMPANIES THAT DO THAT TOO.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE IT, IT SOME DO POSE A RISK OF LIKE, UH, SECURITY PURPOSES.

YEP.

IS THERE'S EVERYTHING WE DO, UH, WE HAVE THE AI THAT WE'RE BUILDING INTERNALLY IS ON ITS OWN SEPARATE AIR GAP SERVER.

MM-HMM.

.

SO IT'S NOT TIED TO THE NETWORK ANYWHERE YET.

UH, LANDON IS FEEDING IT DATA.

AND THEN WHAT WE USE IS PROPRIETARY AI THROUGH A SUBSCRIPTION, UH, WITH UH, CHAT GPT AND WITH MICROSOFT.

SO WE FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THE SECURITY THERE BECAUSE IT'S NOT, UH, BECAUSE WE'RE GOVERNMENT ENTITY, IT DOESN'T HANG ONTO OUR MATERIAL LIKE IT DOES.

LIKE IF NICOLE, YOU WANTED TO GO HOME AND WRITE RECIPE, A RECIPE BOOK AND JUST ASK TO DEGENERATE IT, IT KEEPS ALL THAT DATA.

CHE GBT FOUR OH WILL NOT KEEP THAT DATA.

MICROSOFT DOES, BUT IT WILL LET US KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO USE OUR DATA FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

SO, AND AS FAR AS THIS, UH, SECOND ONE THAT YOU'RE WRITING FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE.

YES SIR.

DO YOU GUYS, DOES THE CITY, DO WE, I GUESS NOT YOU GUYS DO WE AS A CITY HAVE LIKE A, UH, WHERE WE DO LIKE FISHING YEAH.

TRAINING.

AND SO YOU'LL, IF YOU'LL RECALL, EVERY YEAR YOU GET A CHECKLIST OR A TEST FROM ANGEL AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IF YOU SHOULD GIVE ONE EVERY YEAR RIGHT NOW.

YEAH.

AND I, I WILL TELL YOU THAT I GET, I FELL FOR ONE FROM LANDON THE OTHER DAY, SO, UH OKAY.

BUT HE DOES SEND OUT YEAH, HE'S PHISHING EMAILS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND HE JUST COMPLETED A, A IT OR, WELL, HE STARTED IN FOR INFORMATION SECURITY MEETING THIS MORNING, BUT THEN HE PULLED OUT OF IT 'CAUSE IT WAS NOT WHAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS.

SO, OKAY.

BUT YEAH, WE, WE TRY AND STAY ON TOP OF THAT.

UH, THAT'S WHY IF YOU'LL NOTICE WHEN I ATTACH A DOCUMENT, I'LL PUT PARENTHESES SAFE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE WE'VE FOUND THAT WORMS DON'T REALLY DO THAT WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO GET INTO YOUR INFORMATION.

SO CJ AND LAND GET EMAILS FROM ME PRETTY REGULARLY ABOUT, I GOT ONE FROM YOU AND, BUT YOU WEREN'T ACTING RIGHT.

I'M LIKE, SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS.

HE'S NOT ACTING RIGHT.

WELL, THEY, THEY GET EMAILS FROM ME QUITE OFTEN FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO SEND ME INVOICES.

HE'S A FAN FAVORITE.

HE REALLY IS.

YEAH.

SO THAT'S CRAZY.

I GET, I GET INVOICES ABOUT YOU DON'T WANT MAKE, THEY'VE KIND OF, THEY'VE KIND OF SLOWED OFF IN THE LAST MONTH OR TWO, BUT I WAS GETTING TWO OR THREE A MONTH.

YEAH.

SO HE'S CRANKED THE FIL THE INTERNAL FILTER ON OUR EMAIL SERVER TO RECOGNIZE IT BECAUSE LIKE IF YOU GET ONE THAT ENDS IN AN IO OR AN AI OR AN IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE KNOW IT'S PROBABLY NOT LEGIT.

YEAH.

SO IT'S AUTOMATICALLY WASHING THOSE OUT.

YEAH.

THAT'S GOOD.

WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PUT THIS INTO PLAY.

ALRIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN COUNCILPERSON MADDOX THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 34 DASH 2024.

AND SECONDED BY, I'LL SECOND THAT.

COUNCILMAN LOPEZ.

FURTHER DISCUSSION.

LIKE I SAID, THIS, THIS IS GONNA BE AN EVERGREEN DOCUMENT 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA CHANGE ALL THE TIME.

YEP.

EVERY TIME SOMEBODY FIGURES OUT SOMETHING NEW IS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO BACK AND ADJUST FOR IT.

DID WE USE AI TO WRITE THE POLICY? UH, ACTUALLY SOME OF IT WAS, WAS .

THAT'S VERY TRUE.

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE A MOTION OF A SECOND PENDING.

NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR A AYE.
