(Huang/McCoy)
Recommended Action: Discuss Participation in the Cupertino Alert System, Alert SCC and
Pulse Point
Commissioner Huang spoke with Robert Kim and confirmed that the county is using the
same ALERT SCC system and they are currently in the process of creating new data, which
will require new sign ups. According to Mr. Kim, once the contract with CAS expires, the
City of Cupertino will not be renewing the contract and will be using the free ALERT SCC
program. Captain Urena inquiries about the concern if CAS is replaced. Commissioner
Tallinger responds that none of the people that are signed up with the program will get any
alerts and that will cause the commission to re-sign about 8,000 people that have already
signed up.

Recommended Action: Receive Report by Santa Clara County Fire District
Deputy Fire Chief Justice gave a presentation to the commissioners on the Fire District’s
January report and did not have the February’s report available yet. Fire loss for the month
of January was $700. Deputy Chief Justice pointed out the response times are well within the
agreed upon times. The district is looking at evaluating how the data is presented so as to
make the visual reports easier to understand.
Fire Captain Murphy talked about the three workshops that were held in the area with the
goal of getting feedback from the community as to how the department is performing and
what they can do better.
9. Subject: Report by The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
Recommended Action: Receive Report by The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
Captain Urena reported on statistics for the month of February. He explained all response
times were met. The month of February did have one robbery at Whole Foods where the
suspect was trying to take some property. As the suspect left the store, the security guard
tried to catch him but the suspect forcefully ran away, which changed the theft to a robbery.

The suspect was subsequently caught and taken into custody by deputies. The Sheriff’s Office
continues to work on reducing home burglaries but in the month of February, the Sheriff’s
Office did get 8 such reports. Captain Urena explained that he has implemented a covert pilot
program which includes two deputies working full time to try and mitigate burglaries and
thefts. Citations for this past month were the following: moving violations 236, speeding
violations 64, and other citations 156.
Captain Urena was asked if he had a way of knowing if the people that are being cited are
Cupertino residents or are they pass-byers. Captain Urena said every morning deputies
monitor traffic in and around different schools so it very well may be that the residents are
being issued citations. Captain Urena was not sure and added that he would look into the
actual numbers.
10. Subject: Receive Commissioner Reports
Recommended Action: Receive Commissioner Report
Commissioner McCoy reports that he was aware of a safety concern involving a pedestrian
