This was also in response to Petty trying to get King to stop when he was saying the Public Safety Cmte was impotent (tying it to the decision for who it is composed of) Toomey and others were motioning for Petty to declare it as engaging in personalities.

For those not in the room I would say King was increasingly agitated as he made his request for Petty to address the floor and motioned for him to come down and Petty responded with “don’t threaten me”

So this is the salary ordinance, but the contract has already been approved by council. Nguyen will hold.

Clerk is saying Nguyen cannot hold Batista's contract item because they voted on the language last week

The Project Priceless abuse, shelter, decriminalize and reparations are sent forward for responses from manager unanimously (Toomey seemed to wonder if she had held some). Shelter will also be discussed by Public Health
December 18, 2024 at 3:53 AM
Toomey said it is her intention with community, admin and police who are doing the right thing. She said this discussion is hard, saying she has been abused herself
December 18, 2024 at 3:50 AM
Some back and forth with some from Project Priceless and Mero-Carlson
December 18, 2024 at 3:49 AM
The community is asking how they can work together to make the changes needed. Saucier has made great changes, Mero-Carlson said.

Mero-Carlson said it has been a heavy day and years for community issues

Pacillo said she looks forward to good cops being part of the process.

Ojeda wants to take the shelter item to Public Health. He also said Public Safety will work towards what comes next.

Nguyen holds Batista's contract order
December 18, 2024 at 3:40 AM
Nguyen asks if Batista is committed to doing this. Batista said he is as evidence by his tenure as manager. Nguyen asks if he is committed to Project Priceless' demands
December 18, 2024 at 3:39 AM
There's a lot of talk in the chamber, Batista is describing his efforts to find shelter and the need that exists
December 18, 2024 at 3:38 AM
King and Toomey are crosstalking
December 18, 2024 at 3:37 AM
Nguyen said the city "fucked up"
December 18, 2024 at 3:35 AM
Toomey holds the Project Priceless petition. Not clear how many were held. She said there is a lot to go through and there were personal statements. King stormed out
