Um, so we want some flexibility with that. >> But you think it's workable? >> It's going to be helpful.

We've also we've increased salaries um a bit um and um staff tells me that we were able to recruit a couple of positions because of that. We recently did that about uh a year ago. So um but that's not as high. >> But we still have the delta though, huh? >> Yeah, there's the delta with the market. >> Okay. Okay.

Have we talked to the parents? Have we sent letters home? Have we had meetings with the parents? Um things to that nature. Does that student is it are they an intervention? Are they um are they on a plan? You know, depending on what it is. So, these are all things that when it says relevant support would be it could be any of those areas.

So, if they come out with a new feature in five years, we receive that as well. We don't have to pay anything extra for that. It's all inclusive. Um, it comes with a 247 tech technical support um for that whole period as well. And it really is truly an all-inclusive licensing that it comes with this, which makes it much more simpler than what we currently have, which is all these different licenses. And right now, our current cameras only have a 5-year warranty, and we can't extend those. So, it just is a a better option all the way around. Um, one thing that Mike mentioned that's really important to understand, too, is that the data that's in these this system on our cameras and in the system, it belongs to Chico Unified. It does not belong to Verata. that information is stored and encrypted and we have the encryption key.

Then there was comments and we got it back and we're going through the comments and then we saw this bill. So we we kind of wanted to after after we had we're done with this bill then you know we might make more tweaks talk talking to staff and then get that to them. Um, we've already started um compiling what we think, you know, would would meet the requirement. Um, but we'd like to get the the columns cleared away so we get it the way that the office wants it. So, I mean, that's a long answer. I'm sorry, but I I heard about two weeks. >> It wasn't an answer. Okay, two weeks. Yeah. Okay, that's an answer. That's an answer. Okay, thank you. >> Sorry. >> No, I know. Um but but no I I I think that you know the the system you folks really have to kind of get a secure stable system because different entities within the DOE system has their own kind of data um their own database if you call it that.

>> Is there anybody Does anybody have any questions? >> The only thing I would say is I mean, you know, knowing what lawyers go for these days, you know, 20 hours at $250 is only $5,000. That's only 20 hours. And um you know, do we want to have to do we want to have to do something where they potentially have to come back? So I mean, if we're going to do something, I would I would consider like $10,000, not to exceed 10. And if it does go if it does look like it's going to go bad, that come back to us >> and and that would depend on how the hearing goes, >> right? And and what happens and some unknown >> aspects, right? That just gives us a, you know, I mean, we we we trust our conservation commission to do the right thing, so let's give them the tools they need to do that.

Any questions? >> I have a quick question. Um, so first of all, thank you for this. Um you've covered a broad range of initiatives that you guys are um in the middle of and many of these are the same every year, right? A couple are newer. >> Um do you have from where you are here in February, do you do you have the staff that you need to bring the goals in the SIP um to fruition, do you think? I mean honestly the again the budgeted for our uh bilingual tutor is is an area that we noticed is is a big big need. We were lucky to have the the second math intervention last interventionist last year with you guys that you know you were able to to move that forward has been very helpful because we're able to see more kids get more kids involved in the intervention and also through one of our title grants we also have tutors that come in >> that have been helpful.

We have the key and nobody can get into that data unless we give them permission and if we were to lose that key it's so locked down if we lost that key nobody could get in. So it would be locked out and we'd have to start all over again. That's how locked down it is. So it is the data is very very safe up there. Only Chica Unifi can have access and grant access to others. So, I know there are concerns about um facial recognition. So, I wanted to mention that really quickly. Um, you know, as a parent, I'm I'm concerned about that as well. And I know there's big companies out there like Meta, Microsoft that collect data on us, and we don't know how they're using that data. So facial recognition is something that just like the footage itself would be locked in that system and only Chico Unified would have access.

But I think to be able to secure the information that the ledge is needing to be able to support the department is important. Um, and so I think that if we're still in the phases of gathering the data to make sure that we are making an informed decision decision, we are supporting the department in what you folks need to do, but then also that we're not getting strung along either. And I think we're close. I think we're getting there. So that's the only comment I wanted to say. Thank you, Chuck. >> Okay, so this is what we sent you. You sent us in 2020. Okay, this is it. the columns design obligated fund design obligation date construction obligation funds construction obligation date status estimated project completion and I think we added one more column so what I got in response to this is this and then I'm sorry we got this first in June of 2025 which said there was answer to that it doesn't even look close to it you have two columns this one has so many and Then from this you guys sent me this which another three columns which again is not what we asked for complete but we gave you this and this is what you sent us.

>> I'm I'm fine with that. >> Yeah. Okay. All right. Um, yeah. >> If we have no more questions, could I get a motion? >> Yeah. I'd like to make a motion that we authorize the conservation commission um the use of outside counsel for the upcoming hearing for the 40B project at 10 to 60 main in an amount not to cons exceed uh $10,000 that do it. >> Second it. I'll second it. >> All those do you want to add the if it does we would come back >> if it does if it does have to come back. >> So in an amount not to exceed $10,000.

So, I mean, we could always, you know, if we had more, there'd be you'd be able to spread it out more, but obviously, you know, it's something I feel that um we have the mental health staff, we have um you know, the areas for intervention and it's and like I said, even the the social emotional one this year, it's just getting off the ground and we're learning, you know, and we're we're we're going along, but it's definitely been helpful. >> Good. Thank you. >> Um I just have a suggestion or a Yeah. Would you think it would be valuable for like the career college counselor at the high school to spend some time at the middle school doing like a transition period for the students who transition? Would that be something that would be valuable? You see it as beneficial? >> So that person coming.

One thing I want to mention too and I think Mike mentioned it as well is all these safety features that are on this system now. So they had issues in the past. All the different cyber security um certifications they have the certification for the um um how to keep the data locked into a vault is all verified by thirdparty auditors and government oversight. So the FTC oversees that as well. And then finally the last thing I want to mention is um once again I know facial recognition is is an area of concern for people and that system that can be turned off. So, you know, if if that's something that the board decides they want to do is turn off the facial recognition on the system, it's very easy to do. And once that's turned off, we have a separate system that we use that we can put Verata into.

So we do the career fair actually we actually do it in the seventh grade. That's part of it and then I know they do it again when they get up here. I mean, I could talk to Mark about >> not as far as a career fair, but um having that person in that position being a link to from the middle school to the high school being a good connection, building the supports and the um relationships with students who are will be transitioning to the high school. >> So, they >> because I don't see a lot I would like to see something in an improvement plan that helps the students transition from middle school and high school because we did target that as a need. >> Okay. >> Um for students, right?

So, it locks it down so nobody can change that setting. So, then it's locked into that system. So, only myself and one one other IT person can change it if you do want to change it. And then it's fully audited and actually takes a a screenshot of my screen. If I change a setting, it's taking a screenshot. So it's extremely locked down so that nobody can go in and just change it and then change it back. That way the board has full control over that. So no one can change that setting unless the board makes that decision to change that setting. Um so it's really then that facial recognition is in your hands and it's managed by you and not by us. So, all that being said, um this really was just a we have an old system that is antiquated and we just wanted to upgrade it to a new modern system.

So this was this was my request too. um sort of similar to the other one based on um and I had a great conversation with Susan Roby about this in terms of how we could if we're going to attend these meetings then I think our updates need to be more than just I attended the meeting. I think they need to be informational. Um and so you know I think we ran into a problem. you know, Michael had a couple of questions for me about um the storm water meeting that I had attended and we started to get into a conversation and so we were out of, you know, um not following the agenda at that point um that that it needed to be an agenda item if we were going to go into, you know, additional detail.

That's really that's all this was. Um just to to try to bring us into line with the new system. The old one was old and and slow and expensive. So, with that all said, um I hope you this helps you to understand how this system works and it gives uh the board and members of the audience a little piece of mind knowing that it's it's not a bad system that we're trying to shove on everybody, but it really is just a modern video surveillance system that is taking the place of the one that we currently have.
