From the meeting
At the August 1, 2026 meeting, the council requested a status update on drone policy and associated safety considerations. Assistant Secretary Anna Sierra said she would liaise with the Governor's Office and share the details with the council. This is a policy and operations signal, not a purchase, but it shows an active public safety governance issue that could lead to future program or technology decisions.
