It's time for us to begin as though the meeting of the Public Safety Committee will come to order Madam clerk if you will reflect that the council members Deval Herbert and Taylor are all present and we have an agenda this morning that Believe mullin is going to lead us through most of it the first one on the agenda before that. Do you want to introduce? Okay, okay All right, do you want to introduce? All right, so let's begin our agenda the first thing on the agenda is proposed lost in Studlem Farms reporting ordinance that has been introduced by council member muscles Who is in attendance? But is going to be a member of the public so she will just nod her head at appropriate times if she has a comment we have two Suggestions for for the lost in Studlem One is a criminal penalty. One is a civil penalty. Take a you on them Go through those two Yes Ordinance number 2260 includes criminal penalties So it's just for fair to report the loss or theft and it goes through the first second third offense The third offense being $500 30 days, which is our maximum And the criminal offense is a new ordinance for us the civil offense is amending an existing Ordinance is the one that's numbered at top 22 dash 80 It amends a 2019 ordinance that was passed And that ordinance required someone that Lost a gun to pay a fee of $150 if they wanted to Get the firearm back What this does? I only think it does is it changes it to a 24 hour reporting period On the books now, but it changes to a 24 hour reporting period It's on the books now Think the council member that produced this is asking for the criminal penalty Be be applied rather than the civil a stronger statement of The gun violence Yes You Well, I have to put on my former criminal defense attorney hat with this one and My I do have a couple of concerns about the criminal penalty and this may be similar to what mr. Taylor is saying But within 24 hours of discovery And who determines when if and how a Whether or not you're telling the truth about when you discovered when your gun Was either stolen or lost?  And of course he looks in the box and there's no gun in that particular situation Do we think that the father is telling the truth or not? And he just discovered it so I just see a lot of issues with Having to Clarify or defend if I have discovered it or not well, I would be maybe I should say I would be the attorney saying well I just discovered it So I don't know if y'all have any thoughts about that I can give you Some anecdotal if if you want for me You know this There is a burden of proof That would be required on the criminal side. You've raised some very good points That would certainly you know come to bear If somebody you know wanted to challenge being given a citation or for that on the civil side I think if If you are just simply holding the owner responsible period You know that's the scenario that you gave could be legitimate, but you know the With this ordinance the the message would be You need to know That your or that your gun is secured So it's you know, the fact that you're saying you didn't know your son or or loved one took it That's that's kind of on you you should have responsibility to to know where your farm is at all times and it's secured properly So it should it shouldn't be an issue, but it's you know, it's um, it's a civil penalty versus You know a criminal penalty. So I just think the the burden is less I'm holding my tongue Well, this is about responsible ownership, but so I guess as a practical matter I don't check my gun box Every day to make sure it's there or that no one has messed with it And I guess so when you said that I was like, whoa, that's a But I guess that is the maybe that is a part of it really understanding um The level of responsibility that comes with having the gun in the house Or any other place the ordinance says when the loss is discovered So if you didn't discover it until the police said where's your gun? These are gonna say I knew ahead of time but So that that that's I mean that's that that is where the the the gray area lies and maybe that's why The criminal may be um a little harsh to me Plus it may create tina herbert's coming in just to create that whole little how did you know? I'm just you know, how did you know? I How did you know that I didn't just discover it today? So I may actually agree with mr. Taylor on this one Erica And lean more towards the civil as opposed to the criminal Unless y'all can convince me For something else. What's the fine on the civil? It's the hundred fifty dollar fee that they pay Get the gun back Well, there's no penalty for not reporting No, that's Listen to point. I mean it needs to be added That there if you don't report it, there's a fine and I don't have a problem with that fine being the max Where I and I think dr. Bussell is coming up with this ordinance is a fantastic thing and something that we need in our city Uh, I just I can say I got a real problem with making it a crime If I don't tell somebody tells the police that somebody committed a crime against me I just they just doesn't doesn't work. So I think you ought to if you add the ordinance Where you have to report it and as a five hundred dollar fine if you don't report it I'm totally fine. I'm totally good with that I think the five hundred dollars Might be the maximum that it would go to That's right. It would go to uh, who would it would just go to the court if it was a civil Probably go to david Well, it's under offenses. So this looks like is this not under It's under a criminal statute Not a civil one Maybe five hundred too much for the first offense and having graduated with the first offense Point reported or you don't want to I mean, I'm I mean and The inflation that we're having today. I'm not so sure 150 Is that much of a deal? I mean I just feel like going to the maximum five hundred on on the first offense might be a step too far On the other one we have first second third offense starting at 100 dollars 200 dollars. Well, that's what I just don't I don't know if they even that Is that encouraging us to say I mean if you're serious about About wanting stolen and lost guns reported to be serious about Uh, you you want to do 250 and 500? Are you on?  Do I hear 100 dollars? again, um, I May actually agree with mr. Taylor on this one um Because we still want to send the message And when you said first second third, I'm wondering how many times Is a particular person going to have their gun stolen? I mean because that would seem to be an issue um With that particular person so I actually don't think we need to step up because I don't think your gun should continuously get lost and or stolen. Okay Tk, can you go back and put a penalty clause in there? for 500 dollars And leave the 150 to get your weapon back No, uh When you when they're reported within 24 hours after the loss that would be 500 dollar fine And 150 is a separate So I do have a question, um, how often do people come to buy back their lost or stolen guns? Very seldom So So do we need I mean is that it do we think that that's an effective deterrent? anyway I don't know if it's a deterrent that um It's uh Yeah, I don't know that I would call it a deterrent You know, so the anatomy of a of a stolen gun that the scenario is that we That we hope this would help improve a reporting would be You know, we recover You know around 800 guns a year Probably A quarter a little bit higher would be reported stolen But what that tells us is there's a two-thirds are not reported stolen but the The likelihood that they are is Pretty high So what we do when we seize a gun We do a what we call an e-trace We we trace back the origins of that gun To see you know where it was purchased if theoretically it was You know purchased from skip holbrook That lives at you know 123 park street in in columbia then we would go visit Skip holbrook and ask him where where's your gun? And you know, we probably get two explanations.  I'll go look It's not there or they may say it was stolen out of my car and I reported it, but I didn't have all the information So We've saved, you know, when was it reported we'd verify that and that would be in fact They, you know, a lot of people have a gun stolen, but they can't tell you make model Which is what we enter into a national database And then you also may get an explanation If it was stolen out of a car. I was embarrassed to to report it I thought I'd be in trouble if I you know because I left my gun unsecured So those are different scenarios. It contributes to the fact that that I mean we we have a disproportionate number of our of guns stolen from cars oftentimes unsecured but our You know, we theorize that our reporting of Lost or stolen guns is not as high as it could be So, you know an ordinance such as this I think would encourage again. We're not We want people to report to us so we can have You know all the facts to enter into a national database so we can hold people More accountable when we find them in possession of a gun and they shouldn't be in a possession of a gun whether it's you know stolen so this is This is a compliance tool. We're asking our citizens, you know to Be good citizens and lock and secure their cars and store and secure their farms responsibly And then if something happens sometimes, you know out of their control, we just want to know about it So if a citizen has a gun stolen out of an automobile And reports it within 24 hours, there would be no penalty. That's correct Yeah, there's there we want reporting there. There's no we don't want to you know Cast a stone for you know people make mistakes and or you know They might forget something we we simply want to know that it occurred so we can enter into a national database And one question to follow up to what you said if somebody has a gun stolen out of a car And they don't realize it was stolen for a week And then report it within 24 hours. There's no penalty, right? That's what I'm saying. It's not just 24 hours and again, I just I just don't like The fact that we'd be criminalizing sure the failure to report other people's criminal activity here So I support $500. I'd say max it fine out and And and keep it civil Comment has been passed up Whether you want to civil penalty Or once you get to that you didn't report then the third time I can't support making not reporting somebody stealing something from me a criminal Well, I think too we just have to maybe try try it out because we may be creating laws that may never be used But I'm actually okay with the 500 because we want to send a message Um, and then once we get through that discussion, then I want to make sure we discuss How do we notify each and every gun owner of the change in the laws so that they're aware of them? 150 is to get your gun back. No, it's a $500 fine and then the 150 stays in that's correct And I would suggest so it's it wouldn't be notifying gun owners necessarily be a notifying citizens, you know of of this, you know Kind of like our lock it up You know lock it up campaign and then we could reference the you know the new ordinance that That requires reporting the gun is lost or stolen That's like a PSA or something. Okay, and I think that's the bigger thing making sure um, and we probably need to have Take into account a three or six month hold before we start Implementing until we've actually made I mean because we have to do a campaign to make sure everyone knows about it At least three months of we have miss lawyer and another fine reporter here that I imagine going to tell everybody in Colombia about this tonight Yeah, I just hope they're watching tv On the September 6th Yes, but before we finalize this matter, dr. Bussell has asked to speak and I'm going to use the power of the chair to allow her to speak Thank you. Uh, so the suggestion that that I had was potentially doing an incremental Um, because I do believe that if you are if you you know the first time there's a lot of ambiguity the second time Okay, you know, you may have known about the law the first time the third time I think there has to be some responsibility and I think about this law the same way that if you are um In an accident you may be you may be the victim But there are certain laws that require you to report that that's happening And so uh one suggestion that I had and I don't know if this is legally Possible tk, but allowing us to do a hybrid of civil penalty and then the third offense being um a criminal offense So you're you're you're criminality. So you're you're not being criminalized for not reporting you're being criminalized for The two civil infractions that you have made you would be punished for a pattern of not reporting. Yes, ma'am That is different a pattern Yeah, a pattern of not reporting because I'm just thinking who Just happens to lose or have their gun stolen At least two or three times in their lifetime that Seems like a rare that happened chief That would be that would be rare Somebody that's had a gun stolen three times. I can guarantee you they're not reporting now So so do we want to encourage I mean do we want to encourage that person or What are we saying about the person that continuously has problems? keeping control over The where they're going their possession of their guns to me We might be getting choked on an ad a little bit with that. I mean that that would be a an extreme outlier in my opinion That you would have like a third offense Not reporting the gun you know, I think the This is a This is a strong nudge On on behalf of this city because of our gun challenges that we have our gun crimes To encourage strongly encourage our citizens to do the responsible thing when they lose a gun or a gun is stolen and they promptly Provide that information of law enforcement Okay, so I do have one more question. I'm sorry Because you're saying citizens the ordinance refers to Firearm owners And then this last paragraph paragraph f on the civil penalty says no fee shall be assessed against any firearm or owner for weapons Secured solely for temporary safety What what's an example of that example that would be I'm going out of the country for three months Can I store my farms? In the custody of the police department that's we have done that and I think that's what that's referring to Only with the police department. So not if Right. So Wilson says Tina and the reason that's in here is because our existing our existing ordinance charges somebody 125 dollars for or Not when they don't report the gun we notify them we have Located your gun and we have it in our property for if they want to come and get it That meaning there's not a crime attached to it. It's just simply a you know a found weapon and it Wasn't reported stolen. There's a fee for retrieving that gun. That's 125 dollars So it I think the the intent of that would be if if somebody provides their gun voluntarily to the police department for storage while they are Um, you know a way if you will that they're not charged that fee to retrieve that gun that they voluntarily gave to the police department Okay, so miss Knox with that being said I think that should read no fee shall be assessed against any firearm owner Because it says any firearm or owner Or it says in the verbiage it makes no sense But what we'll do if you want to do with a civil penalty of 500 we'll clean it up Okay, so you're going to add the 500 dollar civil penalty and you're going to leave the 150 dollar to retrieve your weapon in Consensus If dr. Bussells Wants when we get this back to counsel if if you have some Amendments that you would like to offer at that time the council can take it up as the whole council September 6th, let me just add Howard. I do want to commend Council person dr. Bussells for taking the initiative To come up with one and I think I believe this will probably stand constitutionally which is And I do think a 500 dollar fine for failing to do it $150 first defense and And I think this is a really good move and I thank you for the hard work on this The second item on our agenda is um put forth by council member mcdowell um Mr. Mcdowell wants us to Authorize the city of columbia to print and have available signs that would implement the state law on the notification to citizens about carrying concealed weapons in places of business or in their homes or at events and the state law is quite specific And He thinks I believe that that the city providing these signs and providing some expertise in location of these signs Would be helpful in in getting more places that do not allow weapons The problem we have I think would be the cost I think that there there probably is significant cost To print in these signs. I don't know if anybody's got any has anybody got any Estimates on how much it cost Okay What the signs that that are three feet by four feet which are big ones are 113 dollars each The ones that are eight by 12 or seven dollars decals eight by 12 Chairman let me just say this I don't have a problem with the city providing The smaller signs and a directional brochure of how to install them I don't know if this needs to be a resolution or an ordinance I think I think if this is something the chief wants that uh, he should talk to the city manager And we should somehow Make it just a police department program that we we have I mean I'm just kind of confused of why we're dealing with Oh, yeah, we were just listening. It wasn't a recommendation from the staff No, no, that's my point. I'm not just I'm not so sure why we're actually doing this at the council deal Again, I think this is fine for us to do and I just think it's a program and not a not a resolution or anything and if and uh, and if would you provide this Suggest providing the signs or or helping the citizens, you know, I mean, I don't have a problem with with our having the police department You know print up 10 15 20 of the smaller. We're not going to do the bigger signs I don't think and having a having an instructional booklet You know of how I'm where to install them I mean, it's It's not that scientific to be perfectly honest with you and uh, but I just don't I think Again, if it's a program the chief thinks that we ought to take a look at I would just say hey put the signs up just just make it a program kind of and it could be in our business in our OBO office or somewhere I just don't see us doing a formal Deal here where we got to compel ourselves to go out and buy these things that may or may not ever be Used or may be a huge demand for them. I don't I don't know the answer to that Well, I'm not sure of the original intent I may have missed it in one of the discussions at the council meeting, which I'm sure is maybe we're reverent dowl Maybe discuss this originally So I apologize if I missed the intent of it if the intent is to educate and promote the new You know what options there are regarding the state law And you know our sign shop could potentially do Maybe 200 signs and we do just a program just you know when those are gone. They're gone I mean I I wouldn't but I don't know if that's the intent behind what you all are trying to do Or what he was trying to do and if it was for a targeted area or if it was certain citizens so He did not have a targeted area. So I think he would have Available anybody that wants to ask for assistance. Most of these are just decals that go on the door I think he checked with our sign shop and we couldn't do it I was gonna say just going back to the intent I thought and I could be wrong But that if the signs do need to look a specific way and be done a specific way And some everyday citizens might not have the capacity to Meet the specific Requirements of the signage needed. That was my understanding of why It would be a helpful aid to make sure that they meet the requirements And we would just have to You know put some parameters around what we can afford to do is all I would say What we have the capacity to provide And I just make us the recommendation that The committee just Asked the police department and the city manager's office just to see what it would cost us to make Signs and lots of 25 And our instructional sheet on how to install or where to install And just have those available for the public that asked for them and work with councilman mcdowell to see if if that's his intent Okay, I think that I was just so I I feel uncomfortable With mr. Reverend mcdowell not being here to clarify the intent. So I would honestly much rather defer it Um, instead of inferring What the intent is That would just be my recommendation The staff will work with with him to make sure we're covering his intent Okay And so what's the harm in the resolution or why don't we why don't we want to do the resolution? Okay, so we can bring this back after we get estimates He can return it if he finds a funding source or if the city The manager thinks that there is a possibility that we could supply the the signs that's necessary Maybe even just supply a certain size size not the large size I'm sure that the language is fine. It's just open-ended. I guess from my perspective right now until we know what the Are we doing this forever? Or we just think we're gonna do like a campaign and then it comes to an end So we'll we'll work with reverend mcdowell. Okay. Thank you. Thank you Um, the next item on our agenda is the, um, Ordinance that would prevent Um, CBD and vape shops from proliferating in the city And I think uh Mullen-Taylor would like to give us a briefing on that Good morning your agenda packet. There are two draft ordinances for this committee's, uh, consideration The first one is Uh new regulations concerning smoke or vape shops. It's a text amendment to the city's zoning ordinance And as a result of that it would require a recommendation from the planning commission And of course a public hearing as well. There are procedures within our our unified development ordinance for text amendments and so the Ordinance here for your consideration would need to go through that process Did I make a suggestion? Let's let's keep them separate because it's really two different things, right? Yes, I'm only referring to vape shops. I know I mean the We only have one There's two ordinances here. One is a dealing with vape shops smoke or vape shops The second one is dealing with CBD purveyors And the second one is the only purveyors in the warning signs, right at the warning only the the ordinance that deals with warning signs applies to businesses that sell CBD products And that is not a zoning text amendment. No, I know that's what I was gonna say keep that one. Let's keep it separate Right. I was I'm only referring right now to the uh vape shop zoning text amendment So this uh was uh some uh an interest by certain Council members. Mr. Vol I believe this was something you were um promoting and so I did Reach out to the city of myrtle beach to understand that they had similar provisions And I have based this draft ordinance on the city of myrtle beach's ordinance It is There they are some litig there is a litigation in federal court Against the city of myrtle beach brought by vape shops, but the Basis for that lawsuit is not at all distance requirements. It's completely separate The litigation was brought in 2018 And at that time myrtle beach had an ordinance that essentially banned vape shops within their entertainment district and that is What the lawsuit is about not any sort of distance regulations between vape shops or Schools or churches or whatnot That is still in federal district court last I checked there was not any substantive ruling some of those Claims I believe is going to be returned to state court And some will remain in federal court, but they brought due process claims taking claims equal protection the whole constitutional Round the whole Planner. Yes. Yes. So this is this is based on myrtle beach's ordinance um this something similar to this is Currently within their unified development ordinance that they just recently passed in january of this year I'm not aware and based on my research that there are other Jurisdictions within South Carolina that have an ordinance like this aside from city of myrtle beach I have taken the definitions from myrtle beach and updated them the distance Of that's what's contained within here is 1500 feet Either from a public or private k through 12 school Child daycare facility use center recreational facility park church or religious institution or community center and then also Smoker vape shops shall not be located within 1500 feet from another smoker vape shop It's entirely up to this body in core city council as to whether or not you want both of those or Just one and of course the distance requirement is at your discretion as well We have in our own udo, you know like bars, I think or have a distance of 400 feet Sexually earning businesses they range from 900 feet to 1200 feet Myrtle beach has the 1500 But that's that's entirely up to you as to what the distance would be my concern with the 1500 feet is the adding of a the section in there that deals with um private K through 12 school public private k through 12 school child care facility youth center recreation for center Park church religious institution or community center And I think if you put all of those entities on the GIS map and did 1500 feet around them It'll cover the whole city And I think that would get us in trouble by eliminating any possibility of any more Vape shops Well, that's quite possible. It's up to your discretion to delete that or reduce the distance. I'm just basing it on city myrtle beach The members of council What are your thoughts on the 1500 feet versus maybe 400 feet like we do for bars or taking out um a I wouldn't I don't I mean I don't feel the need to take out a maybe 1500 feet To some would be too much One other point I'd like to make is this does not apply to existing smoke or vape shops Yeah, the ones that are there grandfather then until they leave It would be subject to the non-conforming uses section of the udo Ownership changed to having effect Okay, I see what you mean I mean if if there was a smoke shop that closed down and then there was another smoke shop that opened I believe I believe so So the existing shops would not be required to comply with the distance requirement how about How do y'all feel about taking that down to 400 feet like we do for the bars and leaving in a so you would still have all those exemptions 400 feet from Those things like churches and schools and all and 400 feet from an existing vape shop You do guns at a thousand feet Do I hear seven feet And you know what I'm thinking about I mean I would rather closer to a thousand um when we're talking about all the kids who are doing all of the Smoking and really being a deterrent and the first thing being public or private high schools Public or private k through 12 schools So there are other laws dealing with schools that use a thousand feet Yeah, I think the the gun laws of the net state gun laws Let's let's take your your number of a thousand and then put a thousand instead of the 1500 feet That's about me I always like to get business done. Would that also apply to section b? Yes Let's do a thousand in both of them. Okay. Any other questions about that? Any other council you don't have any questions? All right get that one ready to go to The second ordinance draft ordinance deals with Businesses who sell cannabis products, which is hemp derived cannabis. Obviously we're not referring to a controlled substance here It is a what I call a disclosure ordinance that requires businesses who sell Hemp derived cannabis to post clear and conspicuous signage Stating that consumption or use can cause a person to fail a workplace drug screening test So this is for your consideration as well. I would appreciate some Direction, especially as far as the the size of the signs This is a starting point This is the one we're talking about, right? No, I think frankly There've been editorials in the paper and letters to the editors from school teachers and principals that These delta 8 products and I'm seeing signs for delta 9 now are causing real issues in our schools and and you know and while I know delta 8 is considered legal. I think the verdict is still out on delta 9 Delta 9 is your what is typically known as the thc So that is not that that's what a drug test typically test for is my understanding I know and delta 8 has to see as well all of them are thc That's all right, but I'm saying I've seen reports where some say delta 9 is not legal in South Carolina And I certainly see signage now on buildings saying they're selling delta 9 So I don't know where that is. I can all I do know is this that Folks can take these things assume because they're legal that there's no negative consequences And fail their job work, you know drug test and etc And I keep hearing horror story after horror story and And there's no mandate for any warnings and So what I'd like to see us do is mandate in Columbia, South Carolina You're going to sell these products. You have to post warning signs Of enough size and that size would be prescribed at 50 percent of the signs advertising the products That you got to post warning signs that this may cause you to fail And you can say workplace drug test if you want or just may cause you to fail a drug test I mean it could be for kids playing football somewhere in high school or anything else But I think it's important for us today that we make Not just the young people, but everyone aware legal or not There's negative consequences that can occur by the consumption of these things And and and this doesn't apply to just vape shops by the way. It's anybody that sells delta 8 or delta 9 I mean in the in so it should really be changed to where it says any seller of of These products is required to post signage equal to 50 percent of the size of the signs advertising the product How do you measure? Is it just the signs? Well, I know It's just the signs that are advertising delta 8 delta 9 Or is it all the signs that they have up in the store? I would say it's any sign that that deals with the sale of a cannabis product So if you know somebody you say, you know offense to anybody if they've got a three by three sign up Then they would require An 18 inch by 18 inch warning sign. I mean we I mean again, it's like we're just talking about this is serious stuff And and when the implication or not the implication when the reality of it is this stuff is At least the delta 8 is legal. I mean We need do we need to take the responsibility that are negative consequences and and and frankly for the language for the warning sign, I mean whether you'd like to go to The ados or another state agency that deals with With those things to make you know de-heck Where it is to make the recommendation for the language on the signage, but I just think it's important that we That we tell and I'm particularly concerned with the young people in clobby to be perfectly honest with you I mean there was a letter to the editor Back toward the end of school I think from a principal and in a school district talking about kids doing it at school and Never having done it. I can't tell you what it feels like the implication certainly was they were high as a kite while they were still Still still still in school and I just think we got to take some steps on that time Do you want my land to to get some language? That could be put in here so they would know what they need to say Absolutely, I mean if you want to do that, I'll follow that this product causes and I mean it can be as simple as just consumption of this consumption of cannabis related products I mean I have to tell you what I'm seeing will cause you not may cause you to fail to fail a drug test The drug test is what you're primarily looking for warning them that if they absolutely well, I mean, I you know again, I you know I mean I I'm not looking to replicate the warning sign that the federal government requires on a pack of cigarettes But I do think I just my point here is I just think we need to tell Especially our young people in Colombia that if you do this stuff Something bad can happen to you You can lose your job or anything else. It's not just really again. It's not just the young people I mean again when you're selling something That's implied to be legal and And you do this thing you're not think you're doing anything wrong And then you get called in for a random drug test at your at your school or your your job And I think it's probably a shock to a lot of young people They get called into the boss's office and they get told they failed a drug test and they were suspended from or either fired And and they say I haven't done anything illegal Well, the business owner or the school principal can't make a spot judgment whether it was illegal or not. It's thc is thc So let's just let these folks know that that if you buy it Be careful Well, if you added some suggested language and run it by Councilman taylor And get it ratified next council meeting So the direction I have is to look to a an expert agency possibly for suggested language that would be the disclosure I've already deleted the workplace. So it would be a drug screening test Yeah, and we can make it just as simple as may cause you to fail the drug sing test And if any if if there is an agency out there that would like to recommend something We're happy to okay. How about that and the signs must be equal to 50% of the size of the purveyors signage Advertising the product right advertising cannabis products. Yeah, okay Once one final note on this once this gets to city council there This is deemed to be commercial speech. So there are some possible first amendment Implications to this ordinance. So if there's a need for executive session as this progresses I just want to give you a heads up. Well, what I would say is if you you know, I believe Mr. Duvall, I think most of the committees and I don't know about public safety have gone to a standard committee day Yes, and uh, so in Tuesdays, usually it's the second Tuesdays of the month of fourth We're the fourth Tuesday. All right, so Well, we have another committee meeting on the fourth Tuesday of august or will we put it off to the fourth Tuesday of septum? I don't have to ask my clerk We're making it simply this just we'll you bring the changes back to the committee at the next minute Not we won't go straight to council. All right come back to the okay And and vetted the committee and then the committee will make the recommendation Now the um back to the vape shop now that is we do have a draft ordinance. I mean a resolution rather Um that is also I believe y'all have a copy of that and that's we're looking at that ordinance going to the next full council meeting Wait a minute that one has to go to planning commission Right, it does. Okay, so it doesn't go to council Are you want to go to council and then down to the planning commission or what? I always got to go to the planning commission first It does what i'm talking about is a resolution that states that city council is considering This vape shop ordinance and that it goes to the planning commission and invokes the planning I mean the pending ordinance doctrine and sends it to the planning commission and sets a public hearing for city council That's your suggestion that they do a resolution first. Yeah, they don't have to do that They could just go straight to the planning commission That was the suggestion in terms of the pending ordinance doctrine Um The pending ordinance we need to either get it sent to Planning commission. I think when we send it to the planning commission that shows the intent of the council So if it goes to the planning commission, I think we can pass a resolution Um Invoking the pending ordinance doctrine at our next council meeting and there's a draft resolution that does that Okay, I mean it does refer it to the planning commission, but if you say that's not necessary we can delete that Yeah, I don't think it's necessary that that We have a council action to refer to council meeting But I think at the council meeting we need to state that we have referred it to Planning commission and we are invoking the pending ordinance doctrine I think in order to invoke dependent orders doctrine, we're trying to beef up council's intent We have to show that there is an attempt to Obviously pass this ordinance in order to do the pending ordinance doctrine. So you say we send Send our recommendation At the next council meeting get the council to vote to send it to the planning commission Well, you don't have to vote. We'll at least have some discussion on the record. Okay Okay When we do the report on the public safety committee, okay, I got you we can do that um And and why? Okay, we can I mean if If you all aren't by if you all are going to follow that path And not just go straight to planning commission Then you probably need to wait to the first meeting in september and actually have the resolution you were suggesting on the agenda Because otherwise, I think you're gonna be Experienced and people saying they didn't know or they didn't hear about it if it's not Yeah, okay So first meeting in september first meeting in september, um What do we decide on having a meeting on the fourth? Friday going to skip this friday this fourth friday and go to september tuesday Fourth tuesday, i said tuesday a minute ago y'all said thursday and now we have friday, i mean It's tuesday fourth tuesday September okay at that meeting we'll we will continue down our list of things that have been referred to us including the nuisance ordinances That have been referred to us and several other things Tk do you remember what what the other things are or what have been referred to nuisance ordinances? Okay Chief while we're in in session here. Would you have anything to say to the public safety committee? Yes, sir, thank you councilman devol I i'll briefly just give you a um Year-to-date summary of um of crime in in columbia if you'd like okay sure So we have um, we have some good good numbers to report And um one concerning number that i'll talk about a little bit Just for context we um every week we Hold staff meetings to to discuss crime trends and we look at um force it three specific sets of data as we're looking at all of our part one and Crime offenses and we look at a one-week trend and a four-week trend and then we look at year-to-date and we You know make operational decisions based on based on trends. We also look to see Where our prolific offenders are whether they're violent offenders or property crime offenders and Of course that plays into our strategy as well and what I mean by that is oftentimes When we have a rash of break-ins whether they're residential or or car break-ins You can go to the public index site with the jail and see who's in custody and who's not and where their areas of operation are and You can typically narrow your focus pretty quickly on Um Who's out and what's what's going on? So I say all that to So to date our homicides are down 29 Rape is down 32 roberies down 12 percent burglary is down 19 percent And in the last four weeks it's down 51 and auto breaking is down 31 percent That's significant And I I would be remiss if I if I really didn't commend our our citizens, you know at every Opportunity that we have whether it's a neighborhood meeting or in interviews that we have with our with our media We we stress the importance of securing your vehicles And because most of our our car break-ins are let-ins They're not really break-ins But we do still have occasional glass shattered if if there is something visible in a car But I really think that our our citizens have kind of heeded the the message and And have taken ownership of the problem I'll I say a lot especially as I'm speaking in the business community You know when when people are looking to relocate a family or business they look at crime Schools and and taxes usually and when you look at crime It means something if you see a high property crime rate and we know that we as citizens can Can immediately affect that That number for the positive just simply by locking a car that really excuse our numbers in terms of property crimes So we're really Really pleased with that trend um so if I If I break that down even more so which is what we do with our violent crime We've had seven gun murders to date and that's down to from from last year at this time What continues to be an area of concern for us is what we refer to as our aggravated assaults And that also could be considered essentially your non-fatal shootings Those are up 22 percent and in particular which equates to about Probably About 30 incidents that it's that's higher The reason that's a significant number is Two things one that's You know, we're at the mercy of the where the person's hit and Them seeking medical attention And surviving that gunshot wound so You know, it's just really um Grace of god That you know, we haven't had more Fatal shooting victims based on the number of shootings that we have had And the other problem that that we have with non-fatal shootings, especially if they're Not life-threatening Is they're typically is going to be retaliation. So we have Not very good cooperation in non-fatal shootings. We have We tend to have good cooperation on fatal shootings and we're able to clear most of those But our non-fatals proved to be challenging in terms of solvability at times because you know People want to exercise street justice if you will So that's really an area of focus For us is on our non-fatals And our prolific offenders that you know, we rank and we we really provide focus Shot spotter remains a A technology that we we embrace we've had 785 alerts to date In that shot spotter zone, we've had Three people fatally shot We've arrested 12 people and we've seized 23 guns as a result of a an alert But most importantly, it puts us In a neighborhood on the street every single time there is a reported gunfire and I think that Provides a sense of Confidence with our our citizens that we are going to come every single time and we take every Every shooting serious. We're able to collect Very valuable ballistic evidence at those scenes because of the alerts and Again, we are a CG site one of just a handful in the country and we Are at the top of Many categories when it comes to the crime gun intelligence You and our and using nab and technology in terms of the volume of entries that we make that connects crime guns to crime scenes So we're we're very proud of that. We entertain a lot of Outside agencies that come to look at our crime gun process And how we investigate and and triage our our shooting scenes The 700 number that you had a minute of the go From shot spotters that from january one. Yes, sir Isn't that up from last year? No, that's that's consistent. Um, we um, we Are averaging right now 23 alerts a week You know at one point it was 31 alerts a week at the highest so The alerts are consistent, but what's um, you know, what I really look to is when we have an alert are we getting that that? Companion phone call to 9-1-1 and we we are that that continues to improve You know, we talked often We first on boarded this technology as you would get the alert and you would not get the 9-1-1 call So we I think we're improving confidence in the system and confidence in us by By receiving the 9-1-1 call also Dave um with the shot spider I've gotten a couple of calls. I think from northwood heels About hearing gunshots or and thinking they're in that Um area, but it not being picked up on shot spider um, do we have any idea About what could be causing that or Because I also know it's hard to tell where I'm familiar with that situation. Um, those alerts are outside of our coverage area and not in the city Okay, that's a real Simple answer. Okay Are you done too? Um, he's probably not expecting me to put him on the spot just yet We were going to talk with you all about this later today, but some executive decisions had to be made and were made Yesterday evening. So I want to chief to go ahead and alert the public safety committee since y'all are meeting today. It was timely um to Something that occurred last night. I think it's going to help and Board it wholeheartedly Thank you, so I'm seated dr. Bussells. I think stepped out, but um we one of the Things that have cut has has been an ongoing problem. Um, and one of our homeless task force meetings It was I was alarmed to see this but if in reviewing the 2013 strategic plan it it talked about a problem business on on north main street and we um We started looking into that that business again this year after just um Hey, um This is the volume of calls for service that we were responding to there and how it was contributing to some of our problems that we were experiencing in and around transitions and with some of our transient population It's the the mains best convenience store We put them on notice several months ago that we were Potentially pursuing a a nuisance declaration Based on their business model and the activity that was occurring You know on their business property and around their business property We have not seen the improvement that we had hoped for After our meeting and so last night at the close of business. We served a nuisance Order on them shutting them down Let me see. Thank you I mean taking these actions on these businesses that prey on the downtrodden Is something that we need to do for a long time and I am proud of both of y'all For taking this effort. I think it will make that neighborhood a heck of a lot safer It'll improve the commerce and the economy and improve the quality of life for folks and and I fully support What we need to do in those areas Again, I think on behalf of the people that live in that area Let me just say thanks. I know that's your district. Oh, yeah, absolutely But I agree with you and then the number of calls and complaints that we get about what can we do What can we do? I'm glad that we were able to make that move Well, it was a team effort. We worked very closely with with legal and um And when we presented the case to miss wilson didn't hesitate for a second to Tell us to execute on it and um We um, we're going to hold our business as responsive responsible Whether it's, you know An alcohol establishment or a convenience store. We've got some other ones. I'll I'll just throw it out there that They're on our radar if they if they don't If they don't improve we're going to take the same action All right, let me go. I think sending a message to two businesses that want to contribute to the delinquency Is is a good thing for our city Again, I fully support you And chief if you could just for the public to um, explain what that means. So you serve them with the Business ordinance Tell just so folks can know what to expect They had a chance to improve, right? They did so We served um In april we served a letter um putting them on notice We require them to come meet with us to So we can lay out specific um violations that we've seen and give them an opportunity to Change that and and again, we just did not see the any movement moving that needle and um, you know as we were literally as we were Preparing to serve the the letter on on the owner operator our Inspector that was there with you know watched some violations Just as he was sitting there. So it's it's again, it's it's a it's a pattern in practice if you will I'm just not responsible management of a of a business Since one of the things we referenced in the in the letter was 197 calls for service At that location that is just an incredible drain of police resources Um, and it's it's not defendable in any way so many of the transient homeless You know, I always apologize for not using the right words to to describe The those that are experiencing homeless But uh, one of the problems we have on in the elmwood corridor is as many of you all know Um is our aggressive pain handling in the roadways and um A lot of the the folks that are pain handling. They're not pain handling And specifically in that area, they're not pain handling for a meal or shelter They're pain handling to go over to that store and buy alcohol and we we watched that pattern Frequently and that was you know, one of the the things that was discussed at the time we had our meeting back in april One second. Dr. Bussells asked to step back in here because this is they Invoked the nuisance rule and closed the blue store down last night. I know that's something you've been That's what I say. I know that's something you've been in your committee. You've been very engaged on um, and uh I didn't want you to get surprised By the by the good news So and I hope you'll you'll make this briefing at city council today too. So yeah, we were The public safety committee meeting today was um good timing My plan was to share it with all of council, but um, I mean we needed to talk about it in here And particularly because you all I know we're going to be Talking in the weeks to come about the nuisance ordinance in addition to what we've done the authority the chief And I have but beefing up some things as we've talked illegal So we're we're very happy that this committee is in place to support those efforts and give us some guidance because as chief mentioned there's um More to come and I'll talk with you all about some of that in the executive session as well That's excellent Chief uh real-time cameras going live soon Yes, sir again, we've We've discussed in the past. We've been delayed because of some of the um shipping issues, uh You know chips and some of the um technical Aspects of the of the program of they're in a boat somewhere. They're on a container ship somewhere, but um, We they're they're currently building what we refer to as building the boxes out. Um, we hope to have a Initiative kickoff briefing for the manager and staff in september and We're unlikely a demonstration for you all shortly after that To be able to show our public safety down up the top. Yes, sir of the tour list That's going to be a game changer. I think for the city anything else for the good of the committee Fourth of fourth tuesday in september Well, you may show us unanimously

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel.  That's what I wanna talk about today is the upgrade packs that we saw yesterday. They're some of the best that we have seen during the entire team of the season promo and the pack weight is there to back it up. It is gonna be a very fun week of League One Tots just because of these packs and how much they give out. You see the Tots counter has gone up by eight team of the season cards. I packed eight Tots cards yesterday. None of them is super duper insane, but they're just popping from these packs. So I wanna take you through how the best way is to do some of these and maybe, depending on how many coins you have, how many coins you should put in two packs like this because with the packs that I did, the player picks that I've done, I am getting a lot of fodder to do moments upgrades. I'm working on the Kutir Ameribus BC. I finished a variety. It's just gonna be a week where crafting is gonna be so good based off of the weight and how those packs and player picks are giving out. And since those are giving out so well, I wanna take a look at the market because a lot of these League One Tots cards, like we talked about in yesterday's video, on the lower tier are dropping in value because so many people are packing some of these lower tier Tots cards, right? A lot of people are getting Fofanas or Lafans, Nune Menj, and those types of cards. Fofana yesterday was 200K, now he's 180,000 coins as he's dropped off in price from so many people packing him. But on the other side of the spectrum, you have guys like Paqueta, who is not very packable, who is actually up like almost another 50, 60K. He's 1.4 mil after being 1.3 middle to low, 1.3 range yesterday. So a lot of the high tier cards stay high and a lot of the low tier cards drop because they're getting packed. So we're gonna talk about all of that in today's video and of course, look forward to today's content on Tuesday which we should see the guaranteed Tots SBCs for those lower leagues. The secondary leagues which we have two of right now with the Belgium Pro League and Super League. So we might even see two of those guaranteed Tots SBCs today. So we'll talk about that and everything else related to the game right now in FIFA 22. But if you're enjoying the upgrade packs and if you've packed any blues, hit the thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you're new. And I wanna take a look and just start by talking about these upgrade packs once again. They're just incredible. Like only two of them are incredible. This one right here, the League 175 plus times two literally makes no sense. I don't know what EA is doing with this one. It's almost, it is the exact same requirements as the League one premium upgrade. It's 11 rare golds and you get two players. This SBC gives out or requires actually, this SBC requires 11 rare golds and it gives you 12 players. And technically they're all 75 plus because golds are 75 plus. So this pack right here, I should even unfavorite it because I don't even know why people would do that 75 plus times two. There's literally zero point to do that pack, zero, none at all. If you're gonna do any SBCs, it's the premium League one upgrade. You buy 11 gold rares or somehow you get gold rares, you put them into this pack, then you open this pack, then you get to the 81 plus player pick. And this one is like the best value player pick SBC we have ever seen. It only requires one rare gold and the rest commons which makes the craft this week. When we're talking about craft, we're just talking about all of the non-rare cards that you're gonna get from opening the premium SBC.  It just adds up so much and you only have to turn in one rare. It's absolutely incredible for crafting these SBCs. I mean, I'm running out of non-rares before going and getting rid of my duplicate rares. It's crazy how good this craft is. And what also was crazy is how good the pack weight is. I mean, like I said, I packed eight team of the seasons yesterday and they're not just all from like big packs. I packed most of my top cards yesterday from the premium upgrade packs and from these player picks. It's honestly, it's just, it's incredible. Where's Bakambu because he's my dupe card. And this is how I'm going through in crafting these. As you're watching me build these on this video, this is exactly how I'm doing it every time.  So what I have is a stack of the premium upgrade SBCs that I have kind of stacked up. They're in my store and I open those. And when I get duplicates, I'm going in here and crafting an 81 plus player pick.  A lot of you guys know how to do this. It's worth it's a little bit extra time to go in here and to make sure that you're not, you know, quick selling a lot of cards because when you quick sell cards you're basically just quick selling opportunity because those cards could turn into other upgrade packs that would potentially land you another blue or another walkout player. I'm going to turn in two rares here because I don't have enough non rares but that's why crafting is so awesome. But again, I'm going to open these four player picks right now and seriously guys, the pack we it's been so good even if I'm not getting blues in these consistently which we did right there. Look at that man, an 88 rated center back blue. We're going to have to update the Tots counter on the YouTube video. Bang, you walked into a market video today and we're opening packs. That's how good the packs are. Inform Lubelle, I'll take that for an 81 rated inform. I'm telling you guys, these are so good. These are so good. And at least you're getting some fodder in these as well. I'm getting a lot of 84s, 85s, 86s. Boom, like Felipe, bang. Look at that, four player picks and I didn't quick sell the players. And bang, I just got another Tots card and some fodder, which is great, right? That's why this game right now has so much hype for so many people because you can build up some of these packs and just craft and go over and over and over and you get so many SBCs done. The amount of coins that you put in versus the fodder and the packs and the player picks that you're getting out of it are incredible. Yes, you're going to pack a lot of Kevin Vollen. Yes, you're going to pack a lot of a Cardi. You send that to the club.  I'm telling you guys, it is so fantastic right now in this game, the upgrade pack grind. And I'll say this as well, the pack weight, as we've already kind of mentioned and talked about, the pack weight is fantastic too. Like last week, we were doing this exact same thing and the packs were okay, but the weight was terrible. We were not packing a lot of League of Tots cards, but this week, I mean, I packed three Payets yesterday.  Like I'm packing a lot of these lower tier Tots cards, which, you know, it gives you just, you just know that the pack weight is good when even you're packing these sorts of cards. And actually, as you see, the lower tier League of Tots cards falling in price on the market, like we mentioned, Terrier is down, Lafont is actually up a little bit, but he was 45K, Saliba is down, Klaus is down, Genthusi, Fofana, Nune Menge, they're all down a little bit because people are just packing them. And that is great. It's actually fantastic because that means that the upgrade pack grind this week is awesome. It's so worth it to go out and do some of that stuff. So of course, be careful with your coins. This game is far from over. There's still a lot of content to come this summer and even through the next couple of weeks of team of the season. But if you are pondering like, Nate, should I go out and put 100K into upgrade packs? I mean, yes, you probably should because what you're gonna get back if you crafted like we just did there is more than what you're putting in value-wise in SBC fodder, in the SBCs, you're gonna be able to craft and complete and maybe even a couple of top players that you're gonna be able to pack as well. So gold rares are like 900 and 950 coins. You can get them on bid probably for like 100 coins less. So it's about eight to 9K per pack, maybe about 10K per pack will round up. So 100K, you can build 10 of those premiums and that's gonna rinse and recycle into probably another 10 of those 81 plus packs, player picks, and again, that's just so much potential for a solid tot's pull from either the league one or the other secondary leagues, or it's gonna equate into some great fodder that you're gonna be able to go and do an SBC for dirt cheap. So of course, be careful with your coins, depending on how many you have, but it's just an incredible craft this week and that's what everybody, I'm so excited to be doing these upgrade packs. And if you're like, Nate, for me the pack, it's been awful. I have not been able to do anything or get anything yet, your time will come, right? That's how it is. Pack weight is streaky and it comes and goes. So that's my best advice to you is if you haven't gotten anything yet and you're in the dumps, like, Nate, this is not gonna work out for me, it will, right? Your time will come, you'll hit a blue. With the way that pack weight looks, it seems like almost virtually impossible to not go throughout this whole entire week and to not pack a blue, right? I mean, yes, there's still, it's pack weight and it's inconsistent and I'm gonna take the 82 here just because an 82 versus an 84 is whatever.  That's just how the pack weight is this week and you can tell because everybody is right now just so excited about opening upgrade packs. I go on my Twitter and all I see is people send me screenshots of like Neymar's and Mbappe's and themselves packing like two or three blues in one pack. That's just all the crave and the raise right now in this game is those upgrade packs. So, again, with that being the case, how is that impacting the market? Well, first of all, it's impacting the fodder market because again, with this whole big emphasis on SBCs, our high-rated SBC fodder is actually continuing to go up in price. Remember when Harry Kane was like 25,000 coins? He went up to like 33, 34, went back down into the 20s last night when we were looking at him again. Guess who's back up over 30, 31,000 coins? It's our 90 rated cards. Our high tier fodder, as people are doing these SBCs and as they're packing a lot of duplicate, let's say Terrier, LaFont, Claus, Genthusi, they're packing those guys as duplicates, right? What are they going and doing in SBCs? They're going and doing either a Carlos Alberto which dropped yesterday. They're going and doing that 93 plus moments upgrade that they can do for a lot cheaper because they have this extra fodder in the club. And you know what they're gonna do on this Wednesday is that guaranteed League One Tots pack. So you're just starting to see this fodder continually creep up a little bit. Most of it is like the mid to high tier range. Your 87s are 14k, your 88s are 16 to 17, approaching 18. Like I mentioned with the 90 rated cards, they are going up to above 30k for the gold. So if you have fodder, you're still holding tight. If you do wanna make a little bit of a late investment, I think these cards still could go a little bit higher in some areas. You know, maybe even some of these like 86s, if you can snag them at like 9k flat, I think they could be 12, 13,000 coins in the next two days, especially with some lazy sales in there. I think today on Tuesday as well, might be a bit better day for the lower tier fodder if we get not one, but two guaranteed Tots player SBCs because we have the Super League and the Pro League right now out in packs. Super League was of course released on Saturday and Pro League was released on Sunday. And we didn't see any of the guaranteed Tots SBCs yesterday on Monday. So that would make me think that either one or both of them is coming today. And I think that they're make these very, very cheap, probably 83 or 84 rated squads, probably 84 just because of how dirt cheap 84s are right now at the moment, they're still like 2k apiece. And so I think that maybe your 83s and your 84s, especially if we see two of those guaranteed Tots SBCs today, people wanna do them, right? The opportunity to pack a Hamchick, a Balotelli, a Visca from Super League. And then if you look at the Pro League, you've got Undab in there, Decetillera, Venakin, Ital, there's still some really good cards in this secondary league of the Pro League as well. People are gonna go out and do those to SBCs. So I would watch your 83s and your 84s because that should be the realm of demand that you would see for people that go out and do a guaranteed Tots SBC today. And since again, like I said, there should be two of them. I really doubt they would combine them. Two of those separate SBCs for guaranteed in the coming days, maybe both today. I think you would see those prices jump a bit. Also what we could see today, and we saw this last week during the La Liga Tots as well with some sort of like upgrade pack, kind of like a gamble player pick, right? I think we had the 84 plus player pick last week that dropped for the La Liga team in the season. I think that today would be the day. Usually Tuesday is their day where they also drop another sort of like upgrade pack gamble type SBC that is league specific. Yesterday we had the league 175 plus times 10. So I think they'd do something else today, probably in the player pick category. If it's 83 or 84 plus, that would mean almost like a guaranteed shot at a Tots card. So I hope they do it. They might just do like a, they might do like an 84 plus pack for La Liga or league one, excuse me. I don't know what they would do or if they'll do something like that today, but I think the highest percentage chance of that is today as well.   And that's basically like the same price that all gold rares are. So it's really not, it's kind of a no risk investment because if you buy these, they'll probably still go up a little bit more later on this week. So if you're on a low budget and you're trying to make a quick flip, I still think that 83s might have a bit of a chance to rise further today, depending on the 83, but I kinda like those if I'm being completely honest because of those potential guaranteed packs that could be coming out today. So that's a lot of talk about fodder. I'm still holding all of mine, right?  You know, I got Neuer's at 23K. He's now like 30 plus. Lewandowski at the low 30s. He's now in the 40s. De Bruyne kind of same thing. Kante same thing, 24 to 30 plus. Like a lot of this fodder is a W, but I'm still holding on to like maybe tomorrow and Thursday to sell off on some of those as we've been saying for that fodder market. So that's kind of how I'm feeling about that part of the market. I know a lot of you guys are invested there right now. Keep holding on with that sort of stuff. League One Tots cards. I'm gonna talk about this a little bit more too. And these guys, they're really just chilling, honestly. Neymar is up like 100K. Paqueta is up a little bit. Marquinhos is up like 20K. Yetter is the same. You know, Chamani is the same. These guys are probably just gonna kind of meander and kind of in the same range until we get to like, maybe tonight on Tuesday. I think Tuesday night last week for La Liga we saw a bit of a drop off on some of the guys like Pedri and maybe even Vinny and Benzema a little bit. I think you saw a few drop offs last week on those cards. Keep an eye on these guys this week. I mean, there could be potential tonight before we head into weekly rewards on Wednesday tomorrow where you could see these guys drop a bit. But then after tomorrow and Wednesday, which is the big day for the guaranteed tots, SBC and all that good stuff going on, then I think you would see these cards bounce back. Like we saw last week with the League One and we've seen almost every single week or sorry, last week with La Liga.  Guys like Modric, he went from 750 to like 830 last week. And Pedri went from like 1.5 mil to like 1.65, right? There was some big swings in price because of those cards getting after the guaranteed people go out and buy them. So 100% keep an eye on the League One cards that are the higher tier ones tonight. If you really wanna buy one for your team, especially if there's a little bit of a drop.  And then from there out, of course, we will see what happens. But that's kind of what I'm thinking with these cards. Now I wanna talk a little bit in this video too about some out of pack specials. I know we've been talking a lot of packs and that's the big, big focus right now in this game. I wanna talk some out of pack specials because some of your League One cards are reaching what I think is gonna be closer to the peak for a lot of these. Since we do have the first goal cup that's helping out some of these cards, Jelson Martins is finally rising 470,000 coins, what this guy is right now. And you know there's still a lot of people that have invested in this card that are selling it as we check every single video. I would sell these guys by the end of the week but I also wanna take a look at some of the, as I'm inviting some random person to a friend again. This happens all the time for me now in the menus. It feels so weird and also so annoying. When I hit that R2 button, it pops up the friends list. Anyways, I wanna move on and talk a little bit about Serie A special cards because I think that some of these Serie A cards are still kind of low. And as we start to see the Leagues rolling out for the Serie A team in the season items, I do think there's still opportunities to invest in some of these cards. I'm looking at Alexandra right now. He is a card that a lot of people look at. You know, we've seen a couple of Leagues already. Guys like Theo Hernandez who's gonna be in the team, he's got like a couple different versions of an informed card. He's got like an 89 I think it is, rated informed, he's got an 87, 88 and 89. And you know, if you think about it, the Tots Theo Hernandez is gonna be so expensive that some of these like lower versions of his card, even though their informs and informs are super supplied this year, I'm still gonna keep an eye out on a guy like a Theo Hernandez informed because I think there could be potential for some of his special cards to go up or that Sanjo card to maybe go up in value in the coming days a bit just because of the fact that, you know, one thing we've noted all year with the Serie A cards is, and I was talking about this earlier on stream yesterday, Serie A this year, whenever there's like a hype SPC that is released or an objective that is cool, all of the time, like the link ups to those cards. Like how many times can you guys remember this year where winter wild card Spinazola has absolutely exploded because we had like the Kealini SPC during foot captains, we had the, during community team of the season, we had the, oh, I can't even remember that guy's name. There was like a right wing, it was not Chiesa. There was somebody else that they dropped that was an SPC and he made all the Serie A cards move. But like even think about it earlier on this year too where you had a lot of Serie A cards like when Darmion dropped or there was so many different times this year where they dropped great Serie A players and especially remember like Cordoba, right? Cordoba would bounce, Dina Talley would bounce earlier on in the year. So one thing we've noted all year long is that Serie A special cards have bounced really well in like links, links to Serie A special cards like the other Serie A specials on the market have bounced really, really well just because most people didn't have a lot of Serie A cards in their team. So if they wanted to try fit a new one out into their squad, they had to go buy some other cards to put in there to kind of link it up. So, you know, as we see some of these leaks come out which we'll take a look at those probably like in tomorrow's video because I'm just kind of waiting for the whole team to come out at this point. We've just got a few by now. You know, I would seriously take a look at some of these Serie A specials just because of how well we've seen them bounce earlier on this year. Do a little bit of research, right? Figure out which ones, if you look at their footprint graphs maybe aren't that up that much. You know, maybe look at some of the expensive ones. Maybe look at some of the cheap ones, right? Foot birthday DiBala is up like 30, 40,000 coins. He was under 500K. He's starting to rise a little bit. And there's not that many Serie A special cards in general. Even as I take a look through some of these lists of players and I look for Serie A like Pellegrini, is that a card that is like good enough and meta enough to rise? Probably not that much. That wouldn't be a card that I would really focus on. And Danovich, maybe you would want to take a look at him just because of some of like the screener links or something if he's getting a top card. Insignia would be a card that you'd maybe want to focus on as a really cheap left mid. He's already up though, right? He was 52K. Now look, he's 59, 60K. So he started to rise already. So you'd want to be careful with an item like that. Dina Talley has already started to rise up. You know, this Alexandra was still kind of low-ish, but he started to creep up in price as well. That's the kind of stuff you have to look for. Maybe even a Pedro, right? Well, it's really going to help these Serie A special cards rise even more. This next week would be either like a first goal cup requiring all Serie A players like we have this week with Lee Gunn. It just has to be something that requires the Serie A cards. That's what's going to make these guys rise.  I think that's up a lot. He was 100K flat and now he's up like 15, 20,000 coins. So yeah, that's a start of a rise there on him. So that's the kind of stuff that I would be just careful with. And I think there is a couple buy scenarios and options that maybe still be outstanding through some of these cards, but just be careful when you look through some of these. Oh, Raspidori. Raspidori got the Tots SBC that made a lot of Serie A cards move. Yeah, this one, right? Everybody loved this card during the first week of Tots. It was super, super cheap. And it made a lot of like the Chiesa special cards rise and all that good stuff. So, you know, I think there's a potential for that again. And that's why I wanted to talk about it at the end of today's video. I know it might be a little bit late for some of these cards to invest in, but if you're still looking for things to do on the market, I still think there's some entry points. So do a little bit of homework. If you want, go look through some of those Serie A special cards that still have a little bit of potential to rise that aren't up that much, that you think could rise a bit more. And I think that could continue happening. Now with the League One special cards, I would be looking to cash these out before the weekend. I really would. That's the safe route. You know, a lot of the La Liga special cards have kind of maintained their price since leaving the Pax, like since La Liga has left Pax. But, you know, with everything else still upcoming, more Tots cards coming out this weekend, a guy like Jelson, a guy like Campembe, a guy like, I don't know, even some of the other, like Aouar, if he's gone up at all, I don't even, I haven't checked his price in a couple days, or maybe since yesterday, to be honest. But if any of these League One specials are starting, yeah, he's up, right? So maybe I would start to cash those out if you still have any of those, if you held through with your investments there, maybe taking the cash would be a great opportunity there. So by the way, Undavz sold for big money last night. He went up over 100,000 coins. Vanakken, Decetillera, we're all very good flips, these are still really rare cards. And what I have mostly right now on my transfer list, I do have a couple of Kimi's, still bought like 415. I have a bunch of SBC fodder, a couple Jelsons, and then just a couple of random cards, still being completely honest. I don't have very much invested right now, except for a little bit of fodder. And I'm just focusing this week on spending coins. We're trying to get this coin balance down because I need to spend more coins on upgrade Pax. That's kind of the situation that I'm looking at right now and what I'm trying to do with my club. I also have to finish Weekend League. And I don't want to, man, I can't lie. I think I'm on a three and a four and Weekend League, it's tough out here. I gotta get seven, I gotta get eight wins today so that I get those rank five rewards. I just watched Pie, Facebook, Redneymar. So we're hoping for some of that same incredible luck, but not expecting it because a lot of Reds that I've seen this weekend have not been good. But that's kind of the situation right now. Just the upgrade grind is so, so, so great. Tomorrow we'll have a lot more to talk about with the league one, Todd's guaranteed. How I think that's going to shake up things on the market. And then of course we're going to dig into some of the Serie A leaks that we've seen. I'm waiting for more of those to come out before we really deep dive into them and discuss that stuff on the channel. But just know that some of those are coming for this weekend's set of team of the season cards that are going to be dropped on the game today. So that's going to be today's video lives. If you did enjoy it, smash thumbs up, comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you are new. Tweet me any insane Tott's cards that you get. That's the rule. I keep saying it, but I want to see it. If, again, do all the stuff I said before, botched outro, chat comments are going to absolutely love it and eat this up. But yeah man, have a great Tuesday. It's been Nate the Fun and Counting. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Hey, I'm David, Lead for DAG House. We build web three storage and energy storage, which have grown a bunch in the last year. Alan, might flip to the next slide because it is a reliable performance, hosted IPFS solution that gets your data onto Filecoin. You can see total uploads have grown to 80% over the last year, but today's deep dive is about our next chapter as a team and a product. Next slide, please. To meet the needs of our users, we've had to utilize centralized and per providers for performance, reliability and scalability reasons, but the plan has always been to increasingly rely on decentralized Filecoin as it's become ready to reduce costs and take advantage of the global network of many independent nodes. Next slide. We had been planning to nucleate this year with the immediate focus for us on adoption with users willing to pay a premium for our services, but given crypto winter, we've pivoted now to helping Andres enable the end-to-end Filecoin story from a user's perspective. This includes building protocols in libraries for developers to take advantage of Filecoin, regardless of whether or not they're a Web3 or NFT storage user and dog-fooding these protocols ourselves to progressively decentralize our own infrastructure as the Filecoin stack becomes increasingly mature. Next slide. So, W3UP, we're excited to share details of our new upload protocol, W3UP, in today's deep dive and continuing throughout March. You might have heard a little bit about this in Lisbon last year and it's come a long way since. W3UP is a storage protocol, API and set of clients that allows users to verifiably upload data using their own identity. It's designed as a protocol to be used by any quote-unquote storage service, not just Web3 and NFT storage, but anyone moving data around, especially across permission boundaries. We think it could be really useful for many Andres and PLN projects. W3UP offers a layer of abstraction for an actor to send data to another actor, only it does so in a self-sovere and verifiable way, bringing IPFS and decentralized authorization protocols to the table. It fills a similar need, quote-unquote, S3 compatibility compliance is trying to fill, only it's truly portable top to bottom. This also allows us to progressively decentralized our services as decentralized info options become viable to fully rely on without requiring a big code migration from our users' perspectives. But it also does have a number of immediate benefits as well, such as faster uploads. Next slide. And here's some of the libraries we've been working on from the W3UP spec to the protocol and reference implementations to the libraries built on top, like headless front-end components and a CLI. Next slide. And we're in beta and users like OpenSea, TableLand and Koi have been trying it out and have had positive feedback about its interface and simplicity and how it just works. And then we have an RC coming out in a few weeks. Next slide. And then in building W3UP, we've incorporated our teams' learnings from running our hosted IPFS services at scale with competitive performance reliability and talking to a bunch of users. These learnings are most obvious in two categories of lower level protocols. I know the word protocols is used generally pretty loosely, but we're heavily relying on what we call together the deep space nine protocols, these lower level protocols. Next slide. And these two categories, so first for data verifiability, we obviously use IPFS, but more specifically when we can, we send around sets of blocks and car files and verify those rather than transacting block by block. And this is even the case in user-facing situations like uploads and reads. And then for auth, we use UCan. We've worked a bunch with Fission to design a protocol that services can practically use. I'll roughly share this work in the UCan and invocation spotlight earlier. And aside from user-owned identity and the benefits that come with that, UCan also notably allows permissions to be trustlessly delegated from one party to another. Next slide. And then hopefully efficiency with verifiability sounds great to you. And taking a step back, we think there's a lot of others in the PLMN, a lot that others can utilize from W3UP and DS9, especially because they were built to be generic protocols. And our goal today is to get you excited enough in them to explore more. And in terms of folks to get you excited, no better person Alan Shaw, so I'll hand things off to him to talk more about the technical bits. Oh, no. Okay, David, thank you. I'm going to deep dive in five minutes, but this is going to be a little deep dive on the new architecture we have for web-free storage and NFT storage. And we call it W3UP and here it is. So here is the big architecture diagram, but don't worry, we're going to build it really slowly. So it's easier to understand. So first of all, client-side, server-side, you understand that sort of stuff. But yeah, we have the client, and it could be like the CLI or the client libraries or a web app, but what it does is it does some work locally. And that's on the left-hand side there. And what it does is it creates a car file of some DAG of their upload or the thing they want to upload.  And this is interesting because like all of our DAG generation tooling in JS so far has been focused on putting blocks in a block store. So then we have to create the DAG in memory or on disk and into a block store and then export it. And this is just like a slow and kind of memory intensive and disk or disk space and intensive, depending on how you do it. And like in browsers, you only get a certain amount of memory to be able to do that sort of thing. You don't want to have another copy of it in memory. So we've had people complaining about that. So we built these tools to make it easier to just stream stuff up to our service. So that's kind of cool. And so the other thing that the client does is it signs a UCAN with like details that are specific to their upload and it invokes this storage method, which is store slash add. And it's either for their account or for someone else's account where they've been delegated access to put stuff in it on behalf of them, which is amazing. FYI, UCAN stands, if you didn't know, stands for User-Controlled Authorization Network. And so we've been collaborating with Fishin on the spec. And UCANs are essentially an extension to JWTs and they allow users to authorize what they do themselves. It's amazing. So anyway, once the UCAN is signed, it gets sent to our W3UP API. And we call this a UCAN invocation. And the server validates the signatures on a delegation chain in the UCAN. And that ensures that the user has sufficient access to invoke the action or what it's called in UCAN terms is capability. And so in this case, the user is asking to add a car file to their storage space. And so what we do is when we send car files, we actually address them by a CID. And that CID is a car CID. A car CID is just a special CID that is the hash of the entire car file. And that hash is baked into a signed URL that is sent back to the user. And then that URL ensures that the data they upload must hash to the same value as the car CID. So that's super cool. And then the user takes that URL and uploads the data to that URL, the data being the car file. And then the upload is complete. So that's super rad. And the difference here from our old infra is aside from the UCANs, which is like huge anyway, but the car goes directly into a bucket. So there's no proxying for your worker. They don't send it to us. They send it directly to where it needs to be. And that is effectively a speed increase and a cost reduction. And perhaps most importantly, the upload location doesn't necessarily have to be our service. It could go straight into Saturn or Filecoin, for example. So that's super cool. So then when the upload is in Alastair KaviFS, it's available for BitSwap availability, for other people to BitSwap as they do.  So I'm not gonna repeat it here. I did a really good talk, I think I did a really good talk at IDFS camp called Five Billion Blocks. If you're interested in Alastair KaviFS and how it works, then check out that. So anyway, this upload process, it's much faster and more reliable than it was previously because the cars are generated in the streaming manner rather than all in memory. And also by storing it directly into the bucket, our per upload request chunk size can be like four gig. It doesn't have to be like a hundred megabytes anymore. And then this is just makes stuff a whole lot faster. So it's super cool. Then you can see the difference in these benchmarks where for W free up, you can see like around 40% or faster upload speeds. And then we can do some more optimization to make this faster. The second upload is the same data. And the cool thing about W free up is because we're using car CIDs and addressing things and using content addressing properly, you effectively get infinite compression. You don't have to upload the thing. Again, if someone else has uploaded that car file, the service just says you're done and you don't have to upload it. So it doesn't take any time to upload the thing. It's a hundred percent speed increase from. Anyway, you get the idea. Okay, so anyway, back to the diagram. Sorry, moving on and on with a short on time. The car is also sent to our Cloudflare-hosted HTTP gateway. It's cashed there for fast availability over HTTP. Our gateway is called W free link. You can access it at W free S.link. It's kind of similar to D web.link. And so the data gets copied there and it remains as a car at rest. It means that our gateway serves data, serves IPFS content address data directly from car files, which is kind of cool. And in our gateway, we build some awesome indexes. We call one of them dudeware. The other one is called sat nav. And that allows us to serve the IPFS content address data directly from those car files. Dudeware tells you which car files your DAG can be found in. It's a mapping from root CID of the DAG to one or more car CIDs. And then sat nav is navigation within your car. Sat nav index is a mapping from car CID to all the block offsets within the car file. So it's actually a car V2 index if you know and care about that sort of thing. Anyway, I digress a little bit. So if you want to know a bit more about gateways then check out our gateway. It's called Freeway. It's very fast and good fun. Anyway, so pretty soon Spade will be helping us put those car files in Filecoin deals with boost storage providers and renewing them as well. So that's gonna be awesome very, very soon. And then throughout this whole process, our verifiable UCan log store collects these UCANs that we add and that will later provide us with verifiable transaction receipts. And we can also track metrics through the data pipeline by looking at these UCAN logs that we've got. So you can also see the benefits of using UCANs with user owned identity in a new architecture. There's verifiability at every step in permissioned interactions and user owned portable identity. Delegatable permissions allow more efficient data pipelines from when the data is sitting.  And they don't even need to know that they're uploading to W3UP because they can just be delegated the permission to do it and then just send their data where it needs to be. So they don't have to register with us or anything. They just, they can just be given access which is rare. Cool. I'm probably need to skip this. I'm gonna skip this bit. The, I'm gonna quickly just talk about the problem that this is solving. And then if you wanna look at the slides afterwards I can, the biggest UX problem we have is how to make like public key cryptography tenable to a Web2 crowd. Web2 crowd are like, they used to centralize services and just let you log in with your address. And so the problem is when you switch devices or lose a device or drop your phone in the toilet then how do you gain access to your stuff? If you lose your private key or don't have access to it from another device? Well, we have a solution for that. And that allows you to gain access to your stuff using just your email. And these are the slides that I'm just gonna breathe past because I don't have enough time to present them but you can go and look at them. Anyway, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, there we go. Cool. All right. So wrapping up hopefully up next for W3UP is that we've built this UCAN based auth protocol so we can run W3UP on decentralized infra as well. DAG house, we're doing this a lot with our products but based on your user's needs you can use W3UP whenever you need to and get the UX benefits that provide. So, but some of the, my favorite ideas that we're hopefully gonna try and get to doing is writing up those directly to SaturnL1s or Fargo NSPs and UCAN validation and receipts and on the chain using the FEM would be super rad. So I'm really excited for some of this stuff that is just literally opening up for us to take advantage of. Very cool. All right, that's about enough from me and David, I'm really sorry it's taken so long but if you're interested in this then please reach out. You can check out our current beta. It's out in a moment. We're hoping for an RC later this month. Yeah, oh demos, we got two demos, demo sessions, a big demo session for deeper dives if you're interested in actual demo and usage and how things work on the March 24th. WAP on the 31st and we'll record it and you can have it. And yeah, thanks for letting me squirt my voice at you for a while.


Gabe, thanks so much for taking the time for this interview. Thanks for having me. You're welcome. Thank you so much. First, we'd like to know what's the term gamification? What does it mean for those who are not really familiar with the term? Well, gamification is the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to engage audiences and solve problems. And so what that really means is it's about taking the best ideas from games, no matter what kind of game you're thinking about. You know, from a board game to a hardcore game like World of Warcraft or a casual game like Farmville, taking the best ideas from games and using them in places where we normally wouldn't associate games to be, things like healthcare or education or marketing and advertising. So you've mentioned that a good game is composed of partly ideas but also mechanics. So let us know more about that point. So, you know, in the classic thinking about video games over the last 30 years, most people have assumed that video games were for young boys. I think that's the main sort of assumption. And, you know, that it was maybe even socially maladjusted young boys. You know, once you don't really like other people and certainly not for girls and definitely not for older people. And so one of the things that we've learned over the last few years, in particular from social games, is that if you design a game well, if you design it for the emotional side of a user's experience, then you can design something that all ages, all genders, all socioeconomic statuses, can find appealing and interesting. And behind that is a very, very interesting analysis of what's compelling about games, gamification, and something that we can bring forward from games to any problem that we want to solve in the world. And that is that feedback, friends and fun drive human behavior. Anytime we bring feedback, friends and fun into a system, we can markedly change people's behavior. It is the most powerful way to influence the outcome of a particular situation is to bring that in. And that's a principal piece of what makes games so compelling. It's part of why social games like Farmville have been so successful. They're all about that. And why early examples of gamification in fields as wide-ranging as the enterprise, health, education have been so successful. It's feedback, friends and fun. So for those young entrepreneurs who want to be into the industry of games, what kind of advice would you give them in order for them to create successful games? Well, if you're making actual games, so entertainment-based video or computer or mobile games, then the best thing for you obviously to do is get a really structured game education. You need to understand game design. You need to understand the prior design patterns. You need to play a lot of games. I think it's probably the most fun thing that prescription that you can give to somebody looking for a new career. If you're looking to apply gamification to your business or industrial objective or market or what have you, then you need to understand a slightly different pattern of design. So in gamification, we don't only use game concepts. We also take concepts from loyalty programs and from behavioral economics. So game design, loyalty program, behavioral economics are the three fields that drive gamified design. So there's a misconception that games for kids would be distracting and not really a motivating factor for the studies or for the general well-being. So tell us more about that point. Well, one thing that's really changed over the past like 15 or 20 years as games have risen to prominence, there is an increasing divide between older generations and younger generations. And by observation, particularly the youngest generation today, let's say five or six years old, people who were born in the late first decade of the 2000s. This generation has really been brought up with video games as their principal form of entertainment. It is incredibly a core part of their life, very influential. Even if they're not spending as much time on video games as they are on television, it's affecting their brains and the way they see the world and how they interact with other people. And this means that to a great extent, these younger generation perceives the world that we live in as very slow. So they want everything to happen faster. They want it to be more rewarding, they want it to be more social, right? They want it to be more fun, feedback friends and fun. So they're looking for a world that moves faster, that's more engaging. And that means that many of the old models of education, of engagement, of social action are not really going to be compelling to this younger generation. They're going to seem boring or flat. So part of the opportunity here is to see that games and this new gamer generation can be best influenced, it can be best spoken to, motivated, educated by using the language and pacing and motivational structures of games. It's an important insight. And it means critically for parents, for educators, for people in government or in positions of power who are older. It's important to not fight games as a key trend in culture, but rather it would be useful to learn the games that your kids are playing. And the number one advice to any parent of a young child today that I give on a regular basis is play games with your children. Play the games they're playing. Understand the culture that they're growing up in and the kinds of motivations that they're seeing. That will give you maximum insight into how to be a better parent or educator or government. Alright, thanks a lot for this great interview and we hope to see you again soon in Doha. Sure, thank you so much.
