next agenda. That request was noted by Commissioner Tallinger.

Commissioner Tallinger talked about an email from Captain Urena which supported the use
of local high school student volunteers at the PSC. Commissioner Tallinger requested that
topic be placed on the August 2017 agenda.

2. Subject: Participation in the Cupertino Alert System (CAS), AlertSCC and Pulse Point
(Huang/McCoy); Report from County Office of Emergency Services (OES) on AlertSCC and
Everbridge as well as the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).

how the County OES changes may affect Cupertino CAS; Receive report from County OES;
Discuss Pulse Point and receive status of wallet cards/fridge magnets related to crime
reporting/fire/incidents and situational awareness (McCoy)
The PSC is concerned about who will own the promotion of the AlertSCC in Cupertino. The
PSC wishes are that the City of Cupertino takes the lead, since they have already assigned
personnel to the task. The PSC acknowledged they can support the City in its promotion of
the program enrollment, but cannot be its main promoter. Commissioner Huang mentioned
he will no longer be able to track the AlertSCC signup progress.
The PSC motioned and approved an authorization to spend up to $250.00 from their
promotional budget to purchase up to 500 business card size stick-on magnets to convert the
current promotional two-sided “See Something, Say Something”/CAS promotion cards in to
refrigerator magnets, by placing the magnet on the CAS side of the card. Commissioner’s
McCoy and Huang will work together to find a source for this purchase.

The PSC would like information on who in the City of Cupertino is currently authorized to
send out AlertSCC messages. Additionally, they would like to know the chain of notification,
who to notify during which hours, and if this list is formalized. Commissioners Huang and
McCoy are requested to invite the City Manager/staff to the next meeting to present a status
update on the CAS to AlertSCC process and to answer any follow up questions the PSC might
have concerning same.

Thursday, 7/20/17. He has added and is looking for the City Public Works input as to placing
reflective frames on traffic signals which has been proven to reduce traffic collisions,
especially during the twilight hours. He also needs input from the City of Cupertino for the
program as it will be a budget item which needs to be defined. He will email Captain Durr
to aid in facilitating this need.

Prevention Seminar of about 40 residents, to include the Cupertino City Mayor and Laura
Lee which lasted about three hours. He proposed to make this presentation at least every

covers the first half of 2017. At roughly 4,000 Ransomeware attacks daily, the community
remains alarmed. The PSC would like to have an official stance from the Sheriff’s Office as it
relates to paying or not paying the Ransomeware demands so they may add it to their
presentation on the matter.

provide refreshments at their community meeting/seminars, and under which liability
