00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:04.970
Quinlan Conf Room: For the.
2
00:00:04.977 --> 00:00:08.327
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): The meeting started at 6.03.
3
00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:20.990
Quinlan Conf Room: Does anyone have any question about bits on your last
meeting? Oh, we need to do roll call. Oh.

Quinlan Conf Room: Great.
10
00:00:52.510 --> 00:00:53.950
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That sounds good.
11
00:00:55.370 --> 00:01:05.559
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… Would you like to open oral
communication? Oh, do we have a motion to approve it?
12
00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:08.999
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Motion to, motion to approve.
13
00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:14.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Second. We have a second? Second.
14
00:01:18.820 --> 00:01:21.129
Quinlan Conf Room: Great, LM postponements.
15
00:01:21.130 --> 00:01:22.659
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, we need to do the vote.
16
00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:29.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Baggard? I abstain, I wasn't here for the
meeting.
17
00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:34.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Klein?
18
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:42.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh… How am I to respond? Sorry. Approve the minute.
Approve, please, yes. Okay.

00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:48.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Sappaharan? I approve the minutes, thank
you. Vice Mayor Rohan? Yes. The motion carries.
20
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:57.810
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll see. So… I don't believe we have any
postponements.
21
00:01:59.210 --> 00:02:04.330
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Unless… Are there any items that you…
22
00:02:04.330 --> 00:02:06.399
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, to switch the order up, but…
23
00:02:07.570 --> 00:02:10.629
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): None from… none from my end.
24
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:14.900
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. I do. I was just wondering, since
we're talking about.
25
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.870
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): about the Public Safety Commission work
plan, and we always keep.
26
00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:21.590
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the fire person, chief in this.
27
00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:22.849
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): the, you know…
28
00:02:22.970 --> 00:02:30.210
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sheriff's office, can we have them go
first, and then we can go through the work plan, so if they have other
plans, they can…
29
00:02:30.950 --> 00:02:34.620
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Possibly get on with deadlines.
30
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:52.109
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We stand together to the work plan, we dig
in for hours, and they're sitting there waiting, and we can't do justice
to the work plan, and at the same time, we can't keep them waiting, so I
thought if we'd change the order… That's a good idea. Alright, so…
31
00:02:52.210 --> 00:02:54.900
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have a motion to…
32
00:02:56.500 --> 00:03:00.389
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): the report by the Santa Clara County Fire
District.
33
00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:03.439
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): before oral communications.
34
00:03:03.630 --> 00:03:05.960
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, do you want?
35
00:03:05.965 --> 00:03:09.375
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sure, yeah, I was going to say…
36
00:03:09.485 --> 00:03:14.875
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before the topic number two. Oh, before
topic 2? Okay.
37
00:03:15.725 --> 00:03:25.124
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… and if the sheriff's… if somebody
from the sheriff's office is there, I would like that to be following. So
I'll repeat this. So I make a motion to move,
38
00:03:25.285 --> 00:03:28.935
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): 3 and 4 up before 2.
39
00:03:29.695 --> 00:03:30.785
Quinlan Conf Room: And then…
40
00:03:30.955 --> 00:03:35.195
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Continue from there. All right. Second.
Oh, perfect.
41
00:03:35.355 --> 00:03:36.095
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Nope.
42
00:03:38.195 --> 00:03:40.695
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You have to take a vote. Commissioner
Beggar?
43
00:03:40.695 --> 00:03:48.194
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. Commissioner Klein? Yes. Commissioner
Safaharum? Yes. Vice Chair Rahrum? Yes. Motion carries unanimously.
44
00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:56.140
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair, if you'd like to open to oral
communications? Yeah.
45
00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:59.370
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any oral communications today?
46
00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:04.749
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have one hand raised on Zoom chair.
Right.
47
00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:23.990
Quinlan Conf Room: Welcome, San Ram.
48
00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:35.879
San Rao: Yes, good evening, Chair, Vice Chair, and Commissioners. I'm
speaking on behalf of myself only. I'm requesting the Sheriff's Office to
please increase the red light patrolling
49
00:04:36.130 --> 00:04:38.899
San Rao: at 85 in Steels Creek.
50
00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:41.879
San Rao: And De Anza, and Stevens Creek.
51
00:04:42.290 --> 00:04:49.049
San Rao: We are seeing a large number of red light violations at these
junctions.
52
00:04:49.340 --> 00:04:52.129
Quinlan Conf Room: So much so that the traffic backs up.
53
00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:54.560
San Rao: from 85 onto Stevens Creek.
54
00:04:54.810 --> 00:04:58.210
San Rao: And prevents the eastbound traffic.
55
00:04:58.410 --> 00:05:04.479
San Rao: From going ahead on getting a green light, and… the Stevens
Creek segment between
56
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.520
San Rao: 85, and the Blackberry Farm golf course backs up all the way to
the golf course.
57
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:14.480
San Rao: We're seeing also a lot of traffic cutting through the city.
58
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:22.599
San Rao: due to the 280 traffic being backed up, and so people seem to be
taking the 280 foothill exit and then driving through Stevens Creek, so…
59
00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:35.780
San Rao: I'd love for either Commission to propose an agenda item to
discuss what measures can be taken to prevent freeway traffic from
cutting through the city, if there are any known methods from other
cities that can be adopted to do that.
60
00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:47.570
San Rao: or if the Sheriff's Office has any insights on that from their
experience, but it would be something to look into, and particularly the
red light violations. I'd love to see us
61
00:05:47.700 --> 00:05:51.529
San Rao: implement speeding cameras and red light cameras. I have.
62
00:05:51.590 --> 00:06:08.610
San Rao: talked to the Assemblymember Ahun's office about including
Cupertino in the pilot study, and that's a conversation I'm driving
separately with them. I'm also requesting the city to pass a resolution
to adopt speeding cameras and red light cameras, and I'd love for the
Public Safety Commission
63
00:06:08.610 --> 00:06:23.380
San Rao: to consider the same. We have a serious safety concern, we have
a number of senior drivers that drive through the city, and especially if
you are in a lane that your view is obstructed, you may not be able to
see the red light while later. So this is a serious safety concern.
64
00:06:23.430 --> 00:06:25.710
San Rao: And appreciate anything that can be done.
65
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:44.660
San Rao: by the Public Safety Commission. I know you focus a lot on fire,
and while all of that is important, but traffic safety is the most
immediate threat that our residents face because of bad drivers, and we
need tactical and immediate help from the Public Safety Commission and
the Sheriff's Office to address that. Thank you.
66
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.500
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. We have no hands raised on
Zoom, and no speakers in person, Chair.
67
00:06:54.300 --> 00:07:01.939
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): To close oral comment? Alright, yeah,
there's no further oral communications, we can close oral communication.
68
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.219
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, we have the report for the San
Antonio County Fire District.
69
00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:11.460
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right.
70
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Good evening.
71
00:07:13.710 --> 00:07:18.720
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Good to see you here in this 2026, first
session. We have a, a new.
72
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:23.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: public safety report, so I think that
it's been,
73
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:36.989
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: a long time coming. Hopefully it's a
little bit more interactive, and I'll have an opportunity to get into it,
so there's a new chance to just provide some input if there's, changes or
modifications that you would like, or…
74
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:42.349
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Anything else that we can entertain as
far as some new, ways of providing information to you?
75
00:07:42.400 --> 00:08:02.039
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: we'd be happy to receive that. So this
one is actually in the form of a newsletter, so the first few pages, are
going to be basic information about what's going on. They will be, things
that essentially are the entire fire district, but it will relate to you,
in Cupertino, because it will have some type of impact, typically.
76
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:10.030
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I'll call your attention to, the,
Let's see… So,
77
00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:31.799
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One of the things to look for is
shaded fuel breaks, other work like that, because this area of Bowman
Road, although it's not in Cupertino proper, it is in Saratoga adjacent,
so any fuel breaks like that, those types of things, kind of give you a
little bit wider perspective of the work that's going on in the
hillsides, and then also maybe ideas for things that you might want to
try to emulate here.
78
00:08:32.150 --> 00:08:38.570
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: In December, the, not too exciting,
but that was a transfer station.
79
00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:46.800
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I'll mention something about that a
little later, and moving on. We have the, December 19th on Monday.
80
00:08:46.800 --> 00:09:03.239
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That item there. So we have, recruits
that are going to go through the… they're going to be graduating on
January 30th, so we have 10 recruits that have made it through, the
program to this point. Those recruits will be coming and cycling in, so
they'll be working here, in addition. So we are,
81
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:20.980
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: At that point, I think we'll be at
full staffing, so you'll be seeing recruits, they'll be coming in for
their module tests, they'll be scheduled here, typically for 3 months.
You have the three stations, so they'll be cycling in. Station 71 on
Stevens Creek is, one of the primary locations where they'll be
stationed, so you'll be seeing some new faces.
82
00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:24.040
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: From, your fire assurance here.
83
00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:26.020
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Page?
84
00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:32.520
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I'm talking… All right. So,
85
00:09:33.260 --> 00:09:49.280
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Typical breakdown is pretty much the
same. We have a majority that are, has… or that are EMS calls, and then,
lesser to the, structure fires, vegetation fires, those things, and this
is, for January, 2026.
86
00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:55.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Or I'm sorry, December. Oh, the actual
one. So, for December 2020, huh.
87
00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:58.669
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: 5. The…
88
00:09:58.750 --> 00:10:08.630
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: fire alarm incidents, usually because
of rain and other systems will have some type of, activations. Those
things are pretty typical for us, hazardous conditions.
89
00:10:08.630 --> 00:10:11.290
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Anything that would have been, maybe.
90
00:10:11.290 --> 00:10:31.190
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: personnel, things like that, medical.
Once again, 210 for almost 70% of the call volume, and significant
events. So, we didn't have any for the month, but I did mention last,
session that there was, there were a couple fires that, I would be
telling you about in the future, so…
91
00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:50.379
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I wanted to provide you some
information on the, fires that happened on De Anza Boulevard. There was a
structure fire that involved, basically it was a commercial, building. It
was a cinder block building with 3 businesses. It was essentially an
entire loss, and we estimated the loss at $4 million.
92
00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:56.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: There was 3 storefronts, and I think
you probably have seen it, driving by. But,
93
00:10:56.580 --> 00:11:09.790
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: as it turns out, that is… that was
fully involved. They went on to defensive, tactics pretty soon in the
event, because it was a pretty well-progressed fire when they arrived.
And that fire is currently under investigation.
94
00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:26.989
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We also had one incident, on Fallen
Leaf, where there was a structure fire in an apartment complex. It was
isolated to one unit, and they estimated it to be a $400,000 loss. So
that could be not just the structure, but the contents. So, I'm…
95
00:11:27.050 --> 00:11:33.399
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: have, I just wanted to make sure that
I made good on the… on the promise that I, mentioned, and I wanted to
make sure you answered.
96
00:11:33.640 --> 00:11:35.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Some info on that.
97
00:11:35.310 --> 00:11:40.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Next, the, community education,
Cupertino.
98
00:11:40.290 --> 00:11:50.200
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We had a number of people that were
contacted, so in the middle school, high schools, those numbers look so
high, elementary schools, because those include fire drills.
99
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:59.759
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So as we go through, we like to make
sure that, especially through, the end of the year, we try to make sure
that we're hitting every single school.
100
00:11:59.930 --> 00:12:09.570
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, as the school year starts, we
focus on making sure that we're there, we see exactly what's going on,
everything at that point should be practiced. We try to give the
administrators some time.
101
00:12:09.570 --> 00:12:22.650
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: to get the school year under control.
At that point, they should have all normal operations running, and then
we like to make sure that for the remainder of the school year, we know
that they're in good shape.
102
00:12:23.090 --> 00:12:24.269
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: There are no needs.
103
00:12:24.370 --> 00:12:31.979
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, that does account for a pretty
big, number there, or a large number of those,
104
00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:35.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, so,
105
00:12:35.990 --> 00:12:55.210
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the graphs. So, up top, we have
monthly detailed response, so that would basically be the normal
breakdowns that you typically see. So, to the left, the alarm arrived, or
alarm to arrive, that is the time the phone call was made, and then to
the time that the actual set the break and went to work.
106
00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:58.389
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The next, the alarm to Dispatch.
107
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:14.649
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, the time the call came in, the
call processing time that they actually go through the process of taking
in the information, and you'll see that this metric is running on a 2-
minute time frame. So, the call processing takes place,
108
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:32.649
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: basic information comes in, so there
is an overlap to the time that the rig is actually dispatched, so the
crews will get the information while the call processing is still going
on, so there is an overlap. Then they'll give an update en route, so
that's how the system works, so…
109
00:13:32.650 --> 00:13:42.599
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then also with the, first arrive
unit, this is the time for the, unit, the first one to arrive on scene.
And so if it's an EMS call, the standard basically is,
110
00:13:42.790 --> 00:13:50.660
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The advanced life support,
capabilities are arrived on scene, and that's when the clan stops.
111
00:13:51.010 --> 00:13:54.280
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So you can take a look at those. You
can…
112
00:13:54.280 --> 00:14:17.140
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One of the things that I like about
this report is it actually doesn't really hide anything. It shows a lot
more clearly that sometimes it does take a little while to get there, and
there is an opportunity for us to look into it. So, one of the things
that we do look for, and we are held accountable from the county EMS
agency, is how long it takes. So, we have a call time frame, and if we do
not make it, then there is a…
113
00:14:17.230 --> 00:14:27.819
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: there's a, there's actually,
potentially a penalty to be paid, through liquidated damages. So, with
that, our standards are pretty much, set.
114
00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:39.590
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And, you can see how we do, and
overall, we do, have a good response times within Cupertino, because we
have good, station density and good crew density here.
115
00:14:39.590 --> 00:14:50.939
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Annual responses, below, so that is
the cumulatives. You'll see that we have, over for EMS, 20, almost 3,000,
EMS calls for the year.
116
00:14:51.290 --> 00:15:13.580
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And the, fire responses and totals.
I'm gonna look into that one a little bit more, and provide some more
context, and tell you exactly what does it mean for a fire response,
because sometimes you'll get a fire call, but it might be a false alarm
or a malfunction. So how they code it is one of the things that's
important to know, so I'll be providing context for that as we get a
little bit more used to this report.
117
00:15:18.130 --> 00:15:34.279
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: All right, and this is the breakdown
by type. So this is a little bit, this is actually pretty similar. So the
next two, essentially, are the ones that, they're a little bit more
familiar, so this is essentially the, the breakdowns, but you can see a
little bit more detail in terms of the frequency that we have.
118
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:41.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then, the, number of incidents per
year. So, the… the really…
119
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:46.539
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Probably the most valuable thing here
is to see how do we track, so look for that.
120
00:15:46.810 --> 00:15:59.350
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: 2% to 3%, call volume increase, you'll
be seeing that, and as development continues, you'll be seeing more. When
it comes to, higher densities, things like that, you're probably looking
121
00:15:59.350 --> 00:16:07.679
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Towards the next, 3 to 5 years, you're
going to see quite an increase in some of the areas that, you've seen
construction, and some of those projects are starting to pick up.
122
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:18.389
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And finally, this was an interesting
one, and I actually like this one a lot. So, because of Christmas, it's,
123
00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:29.509
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One of the things that we were aware
of is that people would have gotten e-bikes, other types of gifts and
toys that would have, that are powered by lithium-ion batteries.
124
00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:33.960
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Primarily, lithium-ion batteries are
the ones that have the thermal runaway risk.
125
00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:52.620
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, for those, there's, the public
information education sheet that basically says, hey, if you have some
problems or safety tips for those particular types of tools, and I'll
just indicate a couple things that I don't think a lot of people know,
and that, like any other product, we know that the, batteries,
126
00:16:52.620 --> 00:17:17.189
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: sometimes there are defective
batteries, so people, I think, they get a new product or a new technology
and think it's going to be flawless, so to pay attention and find out if
it's acting unusual, and what does the new rule, look like? Well, to the
right, it says signs of a problem. So, if it's charging or there's an
odor, change in the color, if it starts to swell, leaking, or any other,
like, odd noises. So this is,
127
00:17:17.190 --> 00:17:25.770
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: an opportunity for us to help people
better understand what they're actually looking for, as opposed to, hey,
if you see something that's wrong. And then it also says.
128
00:17:25.770 --> 00:17:44.649
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: then take it, if it's safe, take it
somewhere beyond an area where it might catch fire with something else.
So, this is actually one of the things that I do like about this page. It
gives us a chance to tell you something that is new, fresh, and relevant
for what's going on. And then, to the right, you'll see that there are a
couple of links.
129
00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:59.369
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If you want to learn a little bit
more. So, pay attention to what's coming out on this page, and this might
be something that we could, you might try to amplify, potentially for,
for, Cupertino. Your…
130
00:17:59.370 --> 00:18:15.550
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: your information that's coming through
at its core will be, specific to Cupertino, but the stuff that's coming
out on the beginning and the end of this report will be something that
you might need an opportunity to leverage throughout the communities,
because they're going to be receiving some of the same information.
131
00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:24.339
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then, finally, there is an
opportunity for you to take a look at community events, and there's a
link at the bottom of this page.
132
00:18:24.340 --> 00:18:38.109
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, if anybody here is interested in
having a community safety program event, for preparedness or education,
you can go to our website and you can request that. So this is something
that will be available to anyone that actually receives this.
133
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.979
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think that covers the new format of
our report, and I hope that was,
134
00:18:43.330 --> 00:18:47.839
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Clear, and if not, ask some questions,
please, and I'd be happy to take them.
135
00:18:49.690 --> 00:18:50.450
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Nope.
136
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.630
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I love the format, by the way.
137
00:18:53.630 --> 00:18:56.920
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's really great. The, on the…
138
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:07.349
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Page… second or third page regarding the
schools, said the total number is 700 for elementary. Total number of
attendees, I'm not clear on what.
139
00:19:07.350 --> 00:19:14.120
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That's the student. So, like, if there
were… if there, one of the things that I wanted to look at, I actually
don't have…
140
00:19:14.150 --> 00:19:27.479
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Usually, I get a spreadsheet that
tells me the breakdowns, and I can tell you which schools, and so I'm
gonna be requesting that in addition so that I can provide context. This
is probably, 3 schools total, maybe 4.
141
00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:31.360
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But, got it. That makes sense.
142
00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:41.939
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Actually, Lincoln has, what, 500 kids?
Right. Just one school. This is what I was thinking of directly, right?
The high school? Oh, the elementary, okay.
143
00:19:42.190 --> 00:19:43.790
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, exactly.
144
00:19:45.610 --> 00:19:46.560
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yep.
145
00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:59.150
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I have a question, just two,
but, the trainings that you were talking about, they're going to be
assigned to Cupertino? Some of them will come through. So, I…
146
00:19:59.150 --> 00:20:08.780
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: a new… a recruit firefighter will come
in, or a probationary firefighter will come in, and they'll get an
assignment. So we have 3 shifts, and in Cupertino,
147
00:20:10.150 --> 00:20:26.290
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One, two… We have, five crews, so
there are five… so there are two rigs out of, more than… there are more
than one piece of equipment out of some houses. So, with that, there's a
chance for, one of them or multiple recruits to be, assigned.
148
00:20:26.290 --> 00:20:40.950
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): specific shift. Or, you know, we have…
since there's basically 10 that could potentially be, assigned, you'll
probably get one or two, and working on different shifts. There's… I have
a,
149
00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:54.380
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): they have a skills book, or a task book,
where they go through, these are pre-designated programs that they have
to go through in order to get certain core training. So it's intended,
really, for them to become,
150
00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:02.409
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Exposed in a very, methodical way, so
they'll get onto an engine company that's a little bit different work
than a truck company.
151
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.070
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm going to a truck.
152
00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:10.210
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): a rescue. So, depending on what it is that
they're going to be… they'll be doing all of it once they're,
153
00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:21.959
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): through probation, which is 18 months. So,
at that point, the expectation would be that not only can they work as a
firefighter, but they'll be able to drive. So, county fire,
154
00:21:22.090 --> 00:21:36.399
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, Cupertino basically have driver-
operator is the first level, so everybody would be able to act as a
firefighter, drive any rig that they basically encounter over that 18
months, and they'll have an opportunity to work on them.
155
00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:42.149
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, of the 10 trainings, we… did you say
there were 10 trainings? There are 10 coming in in this class.
156
00:21:42.155 --> 00:21:43.564
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or one… one of them.
157
00:21:43.565 --> 00:21:46.564
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm sorry? Cupertino get one or two of
them?
158
00:21:46.565 --> 00:22:05.775
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It depends on the rotation, because we
actually already have probationary fighters currently, and I would have
to look at the roster to tell you exactly how many of them are on
probation. So, as a normal course, we have 19 stations. We have somewhere
around 30, just under 30 rigs, different units, so…
159
00:22:05.875 --> 00:22:09.004
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): With that, the,
160
00:22:09.375 --> 00:22:19.795
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The… there is a lot of opportunity, to
spread it around, so, 15 stations times 3 times 4 ships is really how
many work sites we really have.
161
00:22:20.515 --> 00:22:32.344
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, you're definitely going to get some. I
don't know how many. And where they go, it just depends on training and
where the operations division puts them. Okay. I have one more follow-up.
162
00:22:32.345 --> 00:22:33.915
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Question? Sure.
163
00:22:34.035 --> 00:22:43.095
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You got the chart up there that said the
number of incidents went in per year, 21 to 22… Yes.
164
00:22:43.705 --> 00:22:53.125
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): interesting how every year it has been
increasing, and, did I hear you right, that this high density,
165
00:22:54.115 --> 00:22:57.745
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Generation is what's causing… So, there's…
166
00:22:57.745 --> 00:23:02.825
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): typically about a 3% increase. The thing
that put us…
167
00:23:03.515 --> 00:23:04.455
Quinlan Conf Room: the…
168
00:23:04.455 --> 00:23:09.925
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That, really pushed that number down was
COVID. So,
169
00:23:10.205 --> 00:23:16.224
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): that's why you'll see, 2021, coming out of
COVID, the number was very, very…
170
00:23:16.225 --> 00:23:22.984
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's interesting, though. COVID, nobody
came out, so everything was… I mean, what was the…
171
00:23:23.305 --> 00:23:26.904
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, so, a couple of things. People
weren't actually… so.
172
00:23:26.910 --> 00:23:34.239
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The number of people that were sick
with colds and other things like that, people were,
173
00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:41.760
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The habits that they had, from a
general, being exposed to anything.
174
00:23:41.760 --> 00:24:02.550
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): other than really COVID. There was a big
change in that. Also, vehicle accidents. People going out and getting
into… or having injuries from activities or sports. There were a lot of
things that didn't happen during COVID, and those really did provide a
lot of,
175
00:24:02.970 --> 00:24:09.620
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): a lot of the calls that we have. So, in…
in our normal, everyday life, and just living.
176
00:24:09.620 --> 00:24:16.730
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: People get a lot of bumps and scrapes,
and those are the types of things that, we, didn't see a lot of.
177
00:24:16.780 --> 00:24:20.260
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So that really accounting for it. And
then I noticed that with people home.
178
00:24:20.310 --> 00:24:33.869
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The incidents of, fires and things
like that while people weren't home, during the day, those types of
things really didn't, track as, as, as high a number. So you had a, you
had a,
179
00:24:33.890 --> 00:24:48.340
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: You had a decrease across the board in
call volume, and we probably took about 3 years to get back to where we
were, and now we're there, and we're as if we had not had the COVID yet.
180
00:24:48.490 --> 00:24:54.169
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I see. So the 2025 number, is really
just…
181
00:24:54.620 --> 00:25:05.600
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what we used to be prior to COVID? So…
Yeah, I think… so 2019 dropped, or, yeah, 2019 dropped, and I… I believe
2019 was right around…
182
00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:16.500
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We hit it in 23, so we picked up where
we left off. I think, if I recall correctly, I can probably look it up,
but we were at about 20,000, 21,000 is right where we were.
183
00:25:16.750 --> 00:25:36.599
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So as you get more people moving into
Cupertino, you expect that there will be more of this? Absolutely. So
then will you be staff for that, or are we just being stupid and getting
more people here, and not being able to handle the emergencies that can
possibly happen? No, that's a great question. I wouldn't… I wouldn't say
that, so…
184
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:50.320
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One of the things about, the way the
city and the things that I, at least at my level, get to participate in
is our safety elements and the general plans. So, those things all
account for
185
00:25:50.320 --> 00:26:00.479
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the, potential of growth and some of
the other things that are going on in Cupertino. And they take into
account what's going on in neighboring cities as well. So…
186
00:26:00.630 --> 00:26:09.149
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: This last iteration definitely
accounted for growth. There are a lot of variables that, are considered,
187
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:28.260
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: like in the, for the wildfire, your,
number of neighborhoods that have one way in and one way out. And they,
they all pretty much will track to some either requirement, legislation,
or other need that we'll have within Cupertino, and, and therefore.
188
00:26:28.260 --> 00:26:43.329
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We take those, we analyze them, we
apply them to the needs of Cupertino. You're involved in those things,
too. So, city staff, at pretty much all levels, and, and, you know, even
with
189
00:26:43.330 --> 00:26:49.809
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Law enforcement, fire, they ask us to
get involved, and we make our collective,
190
00:26:49.810 --> 00:26:56.449
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: comments and edits to the, to those
documents, and essentially what comes out of it is.
191
00:26:56.450 --> 00:27:10.710
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what's our plan to deal with what we
have? So we do inter… we do have an opportunity to interject our current
understanding of what is the potential growth, what's the planned growth,
and then our multi-year projects.
192
00:27:10.710 --> 00:27:18.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Those types of things are all
accounted for. So, as you get higher density projects, you will have some
kind of accommodation for
193
00:27:19.060 --> 00:27:20.589
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the,
194
00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:31.900
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Greater amount of traffic, for the
density of, you know, for us, we would really be focused on fire
stations, how many, apparatus we have.
195
00:27:31.910 --> 00:27:44.330
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then we are starting to, you know,
wanting to take into account, the location of those fire stations and the
types of calls that they might be having. So, there's a chance for us as
contributing stakeholders.
196
00:27:44.330 --> 00:27:52.390
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: To add pretty much everything that we
can, and, we will potentially need. It gets better.
197
00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:57.999
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: staff, and I'd say that in this last
iteration,
198
00:27:58.230 --> 00:28:08.199
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: increased population and the
transition of rural neighborhoods turning into high-density
neighborhoods. So you have two blocks or a block of
199
00:28:08.210 --> 00:28:20.019
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: single-family homes that will soon be
rents, or two. That has been considered as one of the things that we need
to be aware of. So we're, we're planning out,
200
00:28:21.230 --> 00:28:33.609
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: as far in advance as we can, so those
things are being considered. Okay, so just as a follow-up to that, has
there ever been a situation where you have recommended that this is
probably not a good idea?
201
00:28:34.010 --> 00:28:48.669
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: that a certain development may not be
a good idea, given the location of it, or the, you know, the fact that
you cannot get in and out of the neighborhood, things like that. Have you
ever made a recommendation to say, this is not a good idea?
202
00:28:48.980 --> 00:29:01.350
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That's a difficult question, because
it's very subjective. So, one of the things… the process for us,
essentially, is this. We as the, as the… the agency having jurisdiction
for fire…
203
00:29:01.350 --> 00:29:09.249
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: safety, and the implementation of the
fire codes and local ordinances for fire. We take those
204
00:29:09.250 --> 00:29:27.160
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: we supply them to any project that's
submitted, and we say, these are your deficiencies. And that process
basically says, you need to address these things. There are projects that
cannot move forward because they can't meet that standard.
205
00:29:27.270 --> 00:29:36.540
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We… we determine that it is,
insufficient, and therefore not able to move forward without mitigation
or without correction.
206
00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:49.990
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: there are projects that have been
denied because they weren't able to meet the standard. So, it's a bit
more complicated than the way you presented it. There are a number of
iterations, and it is…
207
00:29:49.990 --> 00:30:10.139
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: dependent on the developer, the
project owner, to be able to meet the intent of the standard or the code,
and that's what we look for. So, a mitigation could, if you have an
access problem, then you have to have an access mitigation, and it has to
be appropriate, and there… and that's… that's… that's…
208
00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:14.390
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: In a nutshell, how we… Verified, but,
so…
209
00:30:14.760 --> 00:30:26.879
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, projects have not been able to
move forward if they weren't able to meet the standard, and a lot of them
have been able to meet a standard, so they have been able to move
forward.
210
00:30:29.010 --> 00:30:39.420
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: All right, thank you. Yeah, so, kind
of a different question, like, I guess, regarding the recruiting, 10
recruits, like, mentioned it's gonna help staffing.
211
00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:48.789
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I remember, like, last year, like, we
discussed, kind of, like, the sourcing pipeline for the Sheriff's Academy
and that kind of thing, so I'm kind of curious, like.
212
00:30:48.900 --> 00:31:04.059
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): if you know, kind of, how these 10
recruits were sourced? Like, are they out of school? Like, were they
fire, were they in fire departments outside of the county coming in, or
kind of what's the composition like?
213
00:31:04.065 --> 00:31:20.525
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): For us, we'll have a posting. The posting
essentially there's a pretty good network for firefighters, or potential
firefighters who are seeking new positions, and then there's a lot of
movement between a fire department. Like, you'll see people coming from
either CAL FIRE,
214
00:31:20.575 --> 00:31:24.405
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or maybe another jurisdiction. I myself
came from a different fire department.
215
00:31:24.405 --> 00:31:42.454
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Initially. So, there is an opportunity for
movement from one to another as you get to your destination department.
So, we also have a pretty open, we have an open-door policy for most
people who are seeking a career in the fire service, and there are a
number of resources, both,
216
00:31:42.485 --> 00:31:59.795
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): social media type, or other traditional
types, but we push out a posting, and we typically will get a response.
We have modified our channels, and we have tried to figure out how to
amplify those messages, and we're trying to be as creative as possible.
So,
217
00:31:59.815 --> 00:32:10.054
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're… we're extremely resourceful, and
then we've also taken a close look at recruiting in different areas. You
know, sometimes, the traditional,
218
00:32:10.885 --> 00:32:30.225
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): focus was, like, sports teams and things
like that, but we're not looking for that type of person only. We're
looking for people who have potential, so if they're, you know, a lot of
them happen to have EMS backgrounds, or some of them have sporting
backgrounds, but some of them come from private sector as well. I, once
again, have also come from the private sector. So,
219
00:32:31.035 --> 00:32:46.904
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have cast a pretty wide net, and we're
always trying… I think we've iterated every year on every posting, and
tried to figure out what's the best way to get this message out to
people. And job seekers, effectively, are much more regional than they
used to be.
220
00:32:47.225 --> 00:32:51.555
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So if you have somebody in Santa Clara
County who's looking,
221
00:32:51.665 --> 00:32:58.135
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): there we're looking throughout Santa Clara
County. We'll even get a lot coming in from Southern California, some
from out of state.
222
00:32:58.315 --> 00:33:00.815
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, it just varies.
223
00:33:01.215 --> 00:33:07.364
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The thing that has… we do primarily seek,
candidates that are paramedics.
224
00:33:07.605 --> 00:33:24.255
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we do have driver-operator as our
standard, which is different than some other departments, so there's an
opportunity there to take people on, and they'll be, an EMT, as opposed
to an EMTP or paramedic. So, I hope that answers your question.
225
00:33:26.610 --> 00:33:31.930
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, thank you very much for that, sir.
The new report is, like, very easy to understand, and I think it's,
226
00:33:31.930 --> 00:33:49.940
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think it's basically four. Okay. So I do
have a couple of questions. So, I think the metrics are great. I think
when we look at the report, it looks great, right? So, what are your,
like, ongoing, improvements of the targets, like, for the response time,
enhancement, like, for 2026?
227
00:33:50.070 --> 00:33:51.090
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): V7.
228
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.349
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, as far as the…
229
00:33:54.350 --> 00:33:58.910
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we're an accredited agency, which means
that we're always using.
230
00:33:58.910 --> 00:34:09.110
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're always striving for continuous… we
just actually went through reaccreditation, so this is actually one of
the things that we do. We did recently, so we have this, there are peer
assessors that come in.
231
00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:28.139
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have our established metrics, and we
provide pretty much metrics on just about everything we do. And this
process basically takes months, and then it's renewed every few years.
So, with that, we take a close look at what it is, and then that allows
us to take,
232
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.639
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, there are some standards.
233
00:34:30.645 --> 00:34:35.504
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): that are recommended through, say, NFPA or
some of the other organizations. But what we're doing is we're.
234
00:34:35.505 --> 00:34:38.145
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're fixing, our metrics based.
235
00:34:38.145 --> 00:34:43.005
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): on our capabilities, our resources, and
then we're stretching from there. And so, for us.
236
00:34:43.394 --> 00:34:46.384
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It would be primarily…
237
00:34:46.385 --> 00:34:48.765
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just did this, so you'll probably see.
238
00:34:48.770 --> 00:34:50.249
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That, rather than.
239
00:34:50.255 --> 00:34:54.134
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And saying, this… we're looking to get 90%
of our.
240
00:34:54.135 --> 00:34:58.515
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Arrival time at, you know, five and a
half.
241
00:34:58.520 --> 00:35:04.260
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): 6 minutes, you see how ours is broken
down, so it actually gives you a lot more clarity. So the track
242
00:35:04.490 --> 00:35:14.919
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): how we're doing, and, the different,
segments, then that's pretty much how we would end up, kind of measuring
ourselves on…
243
00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:25.019
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): how we did. So, the other thing we would
want to make sure that we're doing is paying attention to the change in
the environment. The call densities might be related to
244
00:35:25.050 --> 00:35:40.029
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): roads, or blockages, or construction, or
something else, or, you know, might even be a fire station that's under
construction that has to close down for a little bit. So, these are the
types of things where there's a lot more flexibility.
245
00:35:40.190 --> 00:35:41.140
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
246
00:35:41.750 --> 00:35:50.869
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is also one of the things that's the
most difficult as an accredited agency to, to answer, because instead of
saying, this is our baseline,
247
00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:56.079
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): My last agency did that, and so you can
see where you were.
248
00:35:56.080 --> 00:35:59.429
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, the granularity of this particular.
249
00:35:59.430 --> 00:36:00.700
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): report.
250
00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:03.230
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think for…
251
00:36:03.925 --> 00:36:06.615
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you're looking at the 4-6 minute time
frame.
252
00:36:08.060 --> 00:36:10.080
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): For the total response time.
253
00:36:10.230 --> 00:36:16.640
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): That would be the closest analog that you
have to a neighboring agency, so if you were to look at a,
254
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:18.290
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): local city department, they.
255
00:36:18.295 --> 00:36:24.604
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): would be shooting for the 6-minute kind of
time frame. And since we report on all of them.
256
00:36:24.815 --> 00:36:30.615
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It would be… cumulative, so I think we
could probably look at it a little bit differently.
257
00:36:30.775 --> 00:36:37.624
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you had a specific question that you
would like answered, I can look into it a little bit more if you'd like.
258
00:36:37.625 --> 00:36:48.144
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, it's a more general question, so I
was trying to understand, like, is, like, do you go with, like,
quarterly, yearly, or how it is? But I think you answered, thank you.
Okay, great.
259
00:36:48.145 --> 00:36:48.905
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The only other thing.
260
00:36:48.905 --> 00:36:52.634
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): To take into consideration is there is a
difference, that.
261
00:36:53.740 --> 00:36:56.480
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll look into, but the density.
262
00:36:56.485 --> 00:37:09.965
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): of the area, so if it's urban, we call it
an urbanization code, so if it's considered over a thousand people per
square mile, it's urban as opposed to rural. There are a few different
ways to calculate that, but go.
263
00:37:09.965 --> 00:37:12.604
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Rupertino, for the most part, is urban.
264
00:37:14.220 --> 00:37:19.169
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. So, on the volunteer opportunities,
like, basically I'm trying to understand
265
00:37:19.450 --> 00:37:26.929
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): how the Public Safety Commission can help
in spreading these reports, or some of the volunteer opportunities you
may have.
266
00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:30.410
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I want to hear from you, like, what we can
help.
267
00:37:31.300 --> 00:37:33.710
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Great. Sounds good.
268
00:37:33.710 --> 00:37:35.059
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's actually why I said I liked.
269
00:37:35.065 --> 00:37:35.885
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): page.
270
00:37:36.035 --> 00:37:37.255
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): For this.
271
00:37:37.255 --> 00:37:38.825
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): This to get traction.
272
00:37:38.825 --> 00:37:46.275
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): become, hey, what's the theme of the
month? I think there's a great opportunity to amplify what's on this page
through different social media channels.
273
00:37:46.275 --> 00:37:47.195
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): at that point.
274
00:37:47.305 --> 00:37:49.255
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): to collaboration with the other West
Valley.
275
00:37:49.255 --> 00:37:51.494
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): cities might actually be a thing, so that…
276
00:37:51.495 --> 00:37:53.364
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We can come out and we can help support.
277
00:37:53.370 --> 00:37:55.890
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): it in an event that you might request.
278
00:37:56.755 --> 00:37:57.844
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I think this is.
279
00:37:57.850 --> 00:37:58.250
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Probably.
280
00:37:58.250 --> 00:38:02.940
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): the one that… the lowest hanging fruit
that I see, based on this report.
281
00:38:02.945 --> 00:38:04.994
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because I think when you start getting.
282
00:38:04.995 --> 00:38:06.924
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Into the metrics and some of the other
stuff.
283
00:38:08.510 --> 00:38:09.890
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It may not be for everyone.
284
00:38:09.890 --> 00:38:15.650
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But somebody that cares can actually get
in here and take a closer look and see what they want to see, hopefully.
285
00:38:15.900 --> 00:38:22.810
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, yeah, I would say applying what's on
this very, very last page, at least from this report, would be a great
way to start.
286
00:38:23.740 --> 00:38:27.629
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, can we get this report, in emails, if
possible?
287
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:32.600
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, it's… it'll be part of the… .
288
00:38:33.310 --> 00:38:34.630
Quinlan Conf Room: Not packet.
289
00:38:34.850 --> 00:38:38.029
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): the presentations that are posted online.
Yeah.
290
00:38:38.660 --> 00:38:44.689
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so it will be included in the email,
or we need to go and search on the site? It'll be part of the posting.
291
00:38:44.690 --> 00:38:45.820
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Register.
292
00:38:46.290 --> 00:38:49.650
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Okay, if I need help, I'll reach
out. Thank you.
293
00:38:49.655 --> 00:39:05.364
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're a little late. This, like I said,
this one just… the ink still went. It literally got released today, and
this is the first of all of the Public Safety Commissioner reforms that
received this report of all the West Valley cities. All right, thank you.
294
00:39:08.590 --> 00:39:12.470
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess, open to the public comment.
295
00:39:13.390 --> 00:39:16.199
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have one hand embrace on Zoom.
296
00:39:35.060 --> 00:39:40.450
San Rao: Yeah, good evening, Chair, Vice Chair, Commissioners, and I want
to thank the Fire Department.
297
00:39:40.650 --> 00:39:48.509
San Rao: for a very comprehensive report. I'd like to ask, what is the
fire department able to do to do
298
00:39:48.750 --> 00:39:54.960
San Rao: Periodic inspections of the Lehigh Permanente Quarry, now that
the quarry is shut down.
299
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:04.229
San Rao: What was being done previously when the quarry was operational,
and what is being done now, either differently, hopefully in an increased
manner.
300
00:40:04.340 --> 00:40:09.030
San Rao: to inspect the hillsides owned by the Lehigh Quarry and the
Stevens Creek Quarry.
301
00:40:09.200 --> 00:40:15.110
San Rao: To be able to apply enforcement actions for fire management.
302
00:40:15.220 --> 00:40:19.430
San Rao: I know we're getting a lot of guidance on protecting the
properties, but…
303
00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:26.850
San Rao: Our biggest concern is we are surrounded on the west and on the
southwest by hillsides, and fires that start in those hills
304
00:40:27.020 --> 00:40:44.570
San Rao: are not going to be contained by small actions that homeowners
can take. So, it's like a drop in the bucket for what the homeowner would
be expected to do versus what we would want to do in the insights. So I'm
really interested in how the Commission can maybe follow up with the fire
department chief on,
305
00:40:45.050 --> 00:40:59.669
San Rao: Quarry-related actions, maybe even get that on the agenda on
some kind of cadence, maybe a monthly or bi-monthly cadence, to hear what
actions are being taken about the hills and the quarry, and what can be
taken to more proactively do brush management.
306
00:40:59.810 --> 00:41:02.740
San Rao: Tree pruning, and any other actions that
307
00:41:02.850 --> 00:41:15.759
San Rao: would help to contain the risk from the quarries. That's the
first thing. The second thing I want to bring up really quickly is the
fire code reviews for development projects, and again, I'm the chair of
the Planning Commission, but speaking on behalf of myself only.
308
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:18.720
San Rao: So I know from restaurants that we've heard.
309
00:41:19.140 --> 00:41:24.769
San Rao: a number of concerns about fire code review, which I think
Commissioner Beggar was bringing up as well.
310
00:41:24.970 --> 00:41:32.440
San Rao: And in that context, I've heard residents reach out to the fire
department with specific written comments on barcode review.
311
00:41:32.780 --> 00:41:38.619
San Rao: And unfortunately, it seems like they're not getting any
response back from the fire department, either.
312
00:41:38.650 --> 00:41:44.050
San Rao: In written response to written comments, or by way of calls that
are not being returned.
313
00:41:44.070 --> 00:42:02.409
San Rao: So, if the Commission might follow up with the fire department
chief on specific details of who fire comments should be sent to, and
what is the process for engagement, and if there is even a possibility to
publish notifications so that the community can actually attend these
hearings, just like they were at a planning commission hearing, for
example.
314
00:42:02.450 --> 00:42:09.019
San Rao: That is my feedback. These are two top-of-mind issues for us,
and so appreciate the Commission following up with the Fire Department.
Thank you.
315
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:16.739
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you, Sam Rao. We have no hands
raised on Zoom, and no speakers in person, Chair… Vice Chair, sorry.
316
00:42:16.740 --> 00:42:21.809
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just had, like, a quick question, like,
kind of following up on the… on the…
317
00:42:22.200 --> 00:42:26.660
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): from the questions earlier and stuff,
like, so, if I understand it correctly, like.
318
00:42:26.790 --> 00:42:30.199
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Members of the public can basically, like.
319
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:33.300
Quinlan Conf Room: investigate…
320
00:42:33.310 --> 00:42:42.480
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): fire code compliance for, like, projects
that are happening around them? Is that the way to understand it? So,
for… for fire.
321
00:42:42.485 --> 00:42:56.555
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): code compliance, those are all public
records, so if it was a records request that said, hey, and we get them
all the time. They say, for example, I want to have a record of all
inspections or violations for this particular site.
322
00:42:56.555 --> 00:43:02.874
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is… that is something that we, we do,
and we… it goes through the normal process.
323
00:43:02.905 --> 00:43:05.154
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And the timeframes are all,
324
00:43:05.705 --> 00:43:08.135
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Adhere to as far as how…
325
00:43:08.315 --> 00:43:11.145
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): those go through. They can go.
326
00:43:11.145 --> 00:43:13.284
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): in, pretty much to just.
327
00:43:13.290 --> 00:43:23.070
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): about anyone, and for the most… I think
everyone understands that within the department, so… but the best way to
do it is to send it through the… if it's a fire prevention.
328
00:43:23.345 --> 00:43:25.155
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Specific questions.
329
00:43:25.155 --> 00:43:28.604
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): and going to the website, going to the
fire… using the fire prevention.
330
00:43:28.895 --> 00:43:32.675
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Email that's provided there would be the
best email.
331
00:43:32.680 --> 00:43:35.289
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Easiest way to get the clock started on
that.
332
00:43:35.765 --> 00:43:45.675
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then… If… if you're asking about
projects that are in process, then there are,
333
00:43:45.865 --> 00:43:58.085
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are certain types of information
that if… if they're not, finished, memorialized, or, done, it would be a
little bit different process, because if,
334
00:43:58.585 --> 00:44:14.414
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): if, if something goes out in complete way,
but we would communicate with anybody that asks for information. We
typically, try to do that. There was one incident, and I don't know if
this is what the, the person,
335
00:44:14.600 --> 00:44:19.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): from public comment, was referring to. We
had one, request for information, or at least.
336
00:44:19.585 --> 00:44:26.935
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It was a… A pres- a position on a project
that was coming in that we,
337
00:44:27.065 --> 00:44:29.684
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We did not send out the,
338
00:44:29.765 --> 00:44:34.984
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): the message, or the response to the… to
the… it was a group of people, I think.
339
00:44:35.065 --> 00:44:50.355
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have since done that with our response
in order to address all of the concerns and the different cited codes and
requirements. That was actually a failure on our part. We had the
internal answer crafted.
340
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:51.050
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And…
341
00:44:51.055 --> 00:45:03.724
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): and I assumed somebody else had sent it,
and they assumed I sent it. So that was one that I was involved in. It is
a Cupertino project, and that response should have been received at this
point.
342
00:45:03.845 --> 00:45:04.515
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Good forecast.
343
00:45:04.515 --> 00:45:08.404
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): to go deeper on this, we need to add it to
future agenda setting.
344
00:45:08.515 --> 00:45:09.215
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Perfect.
345
00:45:12.905 --> 00:45:13.715
Quinlan Conf Room: Sorry.
346
00:45:17.600 --> 00:45:23.759
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, yeah, move on to the next item. I
guess since the share…
347
00:45:24.450 --> 00:45:26.920
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or, yeah, I guess we can move on to the
next segment.
348
00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:31.420
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oops.
349
00:45:39.390 --> 00:45:40.360
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
350
00:45:42.300 --> 00:45:45.649
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): In, December, I sent out an email.
351
00:45:46.060 --> 00:46:01.299
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: requesting ideas for, the work plan.
This is not like the council work plan. This is more what things do you
want to focus on.
352
00:46:01.580 --> 00:46:12.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: My recommendation is that you pick 3
of these projects or tasks, so that in the 6 meetings that we have a
year.
353
00:46:13.660 --> 00:46:18.420
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: 5 now. You can have…
354
00:46:18.550 --> 00:46:26.050
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: A presentation on what the current
situation is, and then at a future meeting, what follow-up has been done.
355
00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:30.850
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The number is up to you, at the end of
the day.
356
00:46:31.470 --> 00:46:34.000
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I am going to…
357
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:55.850
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: These are the six potential items. I
will say there were a couple, suggestions that either weren't within the
scope of the Commission, or have already been completed, so that's why
they're not, part of this list of six.
358
00:46:57.640 --> 00:47:05.520
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So what we want you to do is figure
out what… what are your top priorities, and…
359
00:47:06.650 --> 00:47:12.199
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: buddies want to look at the future.
So, we are going to collaborate in this fourth meeting.
360
00:47:12.570 --> 00:47:19.980
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And with our top three? I… so, I would
suggest let's start with the decision of how many.
361
00:47:20.160 --> 00:47:21.329
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: You wanna do?
362
00:47:21.710 --> 00:47:27.899
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then moving into which of these,
if less than 6,
363
00:47:28.300 --> 00:47:30.169
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Which you would choose to do.
364
00:47:32.830 --> 00:47:39.350
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. I guess, like, just off the top,
I was thinking, like, 2 would be good, because…
365
00:47:39.600 --> 00:47:51.160
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: if we want to, like, dedicate
subcommittees, like, it would probably work out quite nicely, like, two
subcommittees, like, one working on each one, maybe? Whereas three might
kind of stretch
366
00:47:51.580 --> 00:47:59.740
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: it… stretch ourselves thin and, like,
run the risk of, like, not actually achieving things in all three.
367
00:48:00.040 --> 00:48:00.790
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
368
00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:03.419
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: 2 is a good idea.
369
00:48:04.520 --> 00:48:24.089
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I have a more basic question instead
of going through how many we do. Can we actually just sort of zoom in and
look at each one of these? Because some of them may be classified as
something that can come together. So when you say, Vision Zero traffic.
370
00:48:24.290 --> 00:48:32.170
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If you go down, there's also the youth
and something, proactive youth and school safety. They're all related.
371
00:48:32.950 --> 00:48:48.640
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So these are all fed by me? No, I'm
not saying… I'm not trying to say that we are different, but what I'm
trying to say is if you collapse them, then we will line up with 3 or
maybe 4 items, and we do need to…
372
00:48:49.060 --> 00:48:53.509
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, then we have to come and say,
okay, which has the higher priority?
373
00:48:53.820 --> 00:49:12.449
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Because we can't just pick 2 or pick
three, and leave the rest. I think we can. Yeah, I think we can. To be
clear, that if you don't select one of the tasks or projects, that
doesn't mean it'll never come up, it just means we'll be prioritizing the
ones that you select tonight.
374
00:49:12.830 --> 00:49:16.430
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Are you prioritizing, sorry? The ones
that are selected tonight.
375
00:49:17.070 --> 00:49:31.180
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Prioritizing how, so you will… we'll
just put it on the agenda and discuss that. What about the others? So,
if, say, you only pick one, then that will be the topic for the March
agenda?
376
00:49:31.410 --> 00:49:39.950
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And we'll prioritize the… We'll be
working on that first until you're satisfied that the project is
complete.
377
00:49:40.130 --> 00:49:42.530
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then moving to the next.
378
00:49:48.230 --> 00:49:53.520
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I mean, I think, like, also we…
We don't wanna, like… dilute.
379
00:49:53.830 --> 00:49:57.200
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One task or the other by trying to,
like.
380
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.680
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Trying to do everything at once,
either.
381
00:50:01.010 --> 00:50:17.240
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think, like, we should try to focus
on just a couple, like, very, distinct things, like, two or three… I was
thinking two, but we could also find, distinct things, as opposed to
trying to find…
382
00:50:17.560 --> 00:50:34.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so if we look at, say, two
issues per meeting, we have only 5. So I think what we should do is,
let's not talk about 2 or 3 or 5. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. Just
prioritize.
383
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:51.360
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: all of these, and add a few others, if
we can, right? And we'll say, we'll go with the priority, it is the
priority one. Once we're happy, then we go to the 2, 3, 4, 5. If we… if I
start a priority one item, let's say that's all we are accomplishing in
2026. Right.
384
00:50:51.590 --> 00:50:52.550
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
385
00:50:52.940 --> 00:50:58.800
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: just let's prioritize. Sure. And
again, I think most of these, I think, I entered.
386
00:50:59.070 --> 00:51:07.430
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, I don't know if you have any other
ideas we can add here now? No, we're… it's… Okay, only of these things,
okay.
387
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:08.750
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
388
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:24.150
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think, increasing alert SEC
registration is certainly a very good idea, something I think we can all
very tangibly, like, contribute to. I think there were some good ideas in
Commissioner Salta Haram's
389
00:51:24.710 --> 00:51:34.229
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: email, like, things we can do, maybe,
like, flyers and libraries, that kind of stuff. That's something I think
we can, like, definitely lock in on this year.
390
00:51:36.210 --> 00:51:39.889
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, I agree, I think… I agree that
Priority 1.
391
00:51:42.410 --> 00:51:45.690
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. So let's go to the next one and
defend the priority.
392
00:51:48.210 --> 00:51:55.399
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Expand… excuse me, expanded scam and
fraud prevention.
393
00:51:57.680 --> 00:51:58.560
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think?
394
00:51:59.030 --> 00:52:01.000
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I don't know if this is the one that…
395
00:52:01.290 --> 00:52:04.359
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I mentioned or not, like, I think,
396
00:52:04.600 --> 00:52:10.329
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think I was kind of thinking, like,
feels like for the past decade, like, cybersecurity
397
00:52:10.430 --> 00:52:26.610
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: awareness and training has, like,
essentially been the same, which is not a bad thing. Like, it was
basically the same because the technology meta was, like, basically the
same. Like, don't, you know, reuse passwords, that kind of thing. But
it's probably the case now that there's, like, this new
398
00:52:26.780 --> 00:52:37.280
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: meta emerging, like, fake videos,
like, fake stuff, like, it's an election year, so there's probably, like,
a new vector of threats that
399
00:52:37.450 --> 00:52:43.149
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: probably just take, like, awareness
and, like, information to solve. So I was thinking, like.
400
00:52:43.850 --> 00:52:50.420
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I don't know if scam and fraud
prevention is the right word, maybe, like, almost like…
401
00:52:51.290 --> 00:52:53.869
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: like, cybersecurity for, like, the AI.
402
00:52:54.120 --> 00:53:11.889
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: age, or something? I don't know. So, I
recently attended the KICC meeting on the cybersecurity, I think they did
it in December or so. I think that was pretty… I think we should
collaborate with them, and with, like, this is very, top in my priority
also, because I've seen a lot of Nextdoor posts where, like.
403
00:53:11.980 --> 00:53:23.530
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They're saying they're worried about
some of the alerts they're getting. So, I always give some tips what I
personally think of, but I think we should collaborate with AICC, and
between the two commissions, we should…
404
00:53:23.990 --> 00:53:35.689
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: also collaborate from the Laboratory
Commission and, try to push the information that is simple and can be
useful to the future, you know, residents, especially elderly.
405
00:53:36.810 --> 00:53:48.329
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Speaking of working with TICC, the
technology multiplication, the ALPR actually came out of the item number
4. Item number 4.
406
00:53:48.610 --> 00:54:04.400
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, that came out of the TICC, because
as a resident, I was pushing TICC to have that. But this is something
that is really of interest, and there are many more such, you know, like
one,
407
00:54:04.540 --> 00:54:17.840
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the caller was saying, Sandra was
saying, you know, the cameras, the red light cameras, or the, you know,
the other camera, the speeding cameras that he's talking about. Those are
safety issues we really need to look at.
408
00:54:18.180 --> 00:54:27.160
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But we can't do that on our own,
because the Technology Commission is who decides what… what exactly the
equipment
409
00:54:27.550 --> 00:54:31.410
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: have to get. So that's another
collaborating,
410
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:37.330
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: idea that we have to… so we might want
to park those two as
411
00:54:38.490 --> 00:54:43.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: High priority, however, we need to
have that commission work with us as well.
412
00:54:44.280 --> 00:55:09.259
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So we need a lot of collaboration and
time. We need, yeah. So, for example, I sent a couple of emails to
Library Commission, they haven't responded, probably they're going to
review in their next meeting, or they may need to follow some process, so
you're saying it may take longer, so you're saying, well, let's push it a
little down, and… No, no, I'm not saying push it down. I'm saying have a
separate column that says we need collaboration. So we have to actually
put it on the agenda, saying, do we get the chair of the TIC to be on our
413
00:55:09.260 --> 00:55:18.519
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: meeting, or do we go to their meeting
and figure out how we can get something established between them? Because
we're working in silos.
414
00:55:19.230 --> 00:55:37.779
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think that's a good point. I think
maybe we can add a column saying that we need a multi-commission
collaboration, and put a mark there, so… Okay, so for right now, just
assume that it's a perfect world, and just what do you want to see first?
Or in this case? Oh, just finalize the priority first, okay. Yeah, but I
think that's a great suggestion. We should, address it later.
415
00:55:38.890 --> 00:55:42.310
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So I guess maybe, like, the third item
would be, like.
416
00:55:42.650 --> 00:55:54.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the, like, speeding cameras and red
light camera technology for traffic safety. I guess, would that be, like,
a good characterization of, like, a third item?
417
00:55:57.710 --> 00:56:11.439
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think that that's what 30
says, right? Like, this is basically following the already existing
Vision Zero strategy, which is adopted by the city, so I think now we
need to make it into crisp action items, like, okay.
418
00:56:11.580 --> 00:56:14.860
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We'll put it in the… let's say we add
it to the, tape.
419
00:56:15.080 --> 00:56:30.339
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: may send or whatever, right? So, we
come up with the class action items that we can recommend to other
commissions of the directly city council, including the, speakers' input,
like what we heard from Sam, Sam's role today.
420
00:56:30.340 --> 00:56:35.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So I think we can collaborate and make
it more Chris. I think that's also an important, topic.
421
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:46.670
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, so are you, are you… are you
suggesting that we move the 3 to 2? I mean, I, I think the first two are
quite good, in the sense that I think
422
00:56:46.980 --> 00:56:53.999
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: like, our commission itself is, like,
quite capable of achieving things in those two. I guess maybe, like.
423
00:56:54.180 --> 00:56:59.210
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The folks who supplied the, like, 5
and 6…
424
00:56:59.430 --> 00:57:04.330
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: maybe want to, like, make the case. I
think that might be, like, a good way of
425
00:57:04.590 --> 00:57:07.810
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Seeing, like, evaluating the other
ones.
426
00:57:08.080 --> 00:57:25.109
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I mean, I put the priority based
on what I felt. Honestly, I like the priority 1, 2, 3, 4. The 3 and the 4
can be, if you want to continue with our vision of zero traffic issues.
427
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:31.760
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The four falls as a sub… sub… topic of
three. Yes.
428
00:57:32.150 --> 00:57:48.999
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So then we look at the top three,
which is the alert SEC, the, you know, AI… the effect of AI on, you know,
general life. Cybersecurity in the world of age, yeah, exactly, as I
said, AI age. And…
429
00:57:49.500 --> 00:58:05.979
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the vision. That's three, with the
subheading of, okay, how do we tie? Again, even for the AI, we may be
able to tie in with the tiers. So it looks like we need to work very
closely with the TIC mission regardless, but that's separate. That's
separate. So we'll do one, two, three.
430
00:58:06.410 --> 00:58:24.279
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And 3.5 for the technology part, so…
Alright, so are we deciding to keep the order as is? I mean, I would vote
to have the order the way it is, if anyone has a different… Yeah, you put
it together, should you, yeah. I don't want any changes, but…
431
00:58:24.370 --> 00:58:29.809
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, let's hear from… Sounds good.
Yeah, I agree with…
432
00:58:30.010 --> 00:58:37.020
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, keeping as… as is, but we're
making… we're clarifying that this does include AI.
433
00:58:37.510 --> 00:58:38.360
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
434
00:58:42.110 --> 00:58:46.859
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And we're also studying that… the… the
four…
435
00:58:47.020 --> 00:58:50.199
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: is actually part of 3. Okay.
436
00:58:56.980 --> 00:58:57.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
437
00:59:00.990 --> 00:59:05.239
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, when should we add, any other
columns?
438
00:59:05.340 --> 00:59:10.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So she requested that multi-
commissioned… We're not doing that bit right now. Okay.
439
00:59:11.390 --> 00:59:24.970
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That's as… as we get into the
specifics of these topics, as we get closer to the meetings that are
focusing on these topics, then we can get into the specifics. So what do
we do now? We just…
440
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:32.409
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So… A motion, and a second, and a vote
to say, yes, this is the order
441
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:39.319
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That you are prioritizing. Okay, so I…
I make a motion to have the order.
442
00:59:39.630 --> 00:59:44.220
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: As specified right now, with number 4
being a subtopic of number 3.
443
00:59:44.520 --> 00:59:45.380
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Second.
444
00:59:45.990 --> 00:59:46.780
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
445
00:59:51.080 --> 00:59:54.970
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Begor? Yes. Commissioner
Klein? Yes.
446
00:59:55.190 --> 01:00:01.000
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Sappahara? Yes. Vice
Chair Raharan? Yes. The motion carries unanimously.
447
01:00:01.770 --> 01:00:03.590
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: All right.
448
01:00:04.620 --> 01:00:07.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Public comment.
449
01:00:08.110 --> 01:00:12.539
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We have no hands raised on Zoom, and
no speakers on the Vice Chair.
450
01:00:13.250 --> 01:00:19.189
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Cool. Yes, we can move on to the next
item. Okay.
451
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:26.540
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So since we don't have the sheriff's
office still, now pull up the staff update.
452
01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:32.789
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, can we make a… Oh, okay.
453
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:38.469
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, the Sheriff's Office. Okay.
454
01:00:38.740 --> 01:00:43.809
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so we need a motion to say that
we won't be doing the sheriff's report today.
455
01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:48.810
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: a motion that we won't be doing the
sheriff's work today. Seconded.
456
01:00:53.270 --> 01:01:02.109
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Begert? Yes. Commissioner
Klein? Yes. Commissioner Safavara? Yes. Vice Chair Raro? Yes. The motion
carries unanimously.
457
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:05.910
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: All right.
458
01:01:08.230 --> 01:01:12.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: You guys have noticed by how I like to
keep these short.
459
01:01:14.950 --> 01:01:28.560
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: For volunteer activities in, the last
two months, CARES, which is the Cupertino Amateur Radio Emergency
Services, had their general meeting on the 4th.
460
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:39.299
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And the Lawson Arc, which is one of
the locations that has supplies for emergencies, had an open house for…
461
01:01:39.520 --> 01:01:47.770
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Citizen Corps volunteers to make sure
that they were, familiar with how everything was laid out and what
exactly is in there.
462
01:01:48.070 --> 01:01:53.090
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And finally, we had a block leader
meeting, yesterday… nope.
463
01:01:53.460 --> 01:01:56.570
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: On the setup, excuse me,
464
01:01:56.840 --> 01:02:03.419
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: No, on the 6th, I'm sorry, on the 6th.
And that had a presentation from the Sheriff's Office
465
01:02:03.590 --> 01:02:09.809
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Kind of doing a year in review for
2025, and then discussing,
466
01:02:10.580 --> 01:02:20.259
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Crime prevention, that he's given the
same presentation here about preventing fraud, how to keep your home,
safe.
467
01:02:20.650 --> 01:02:25.089
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Ways to deter, potential theft.
468
01:02:25.250 --> 01:02:31.130
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And that… yeah, that was our…
469
01:02:31.490 --> 01:02:41.179
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: January meeting, and the next one, is
depending on the availability of the speaker, either in March or April,
and I will,
470
01:02:41.470 --> 01:02:43.379
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Make sure that you all know about it.
471
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:51.980
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Finally, I don't know if any of you
noticed, but we had some rough weather in December.
472
01:02:53.090 --> 01:02:55.110
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So…
473
01:02:55.280 --> 01:03:03.629
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: There were daily briefings that I was
participating in between the 19th and the 26th, every morning.
474
01:03:03.990 --> 01:03:09.940
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Our Emergency Operations Center did
not activate, thankfully. We never had anything happen.
475
01:03:09.950 --> 01:03:24.990
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That, would require us to activate.
And the County Emergency Operations Center remained at duty officer
status. What that means is the duty officer, at the time is still
476
01:03:25.010 --> 01:03:31.680
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Alert and looking for anything
happening, but we're not building up to have, okay…
477
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:42.379
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: sticks, bring someone in for
management, bring someone in for this. So this is… I wouldn't say it's
the lowest level of response, but it is,
478
01:03:42.530 --> 01:03:50.150
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I guess you could say the blue sky
daily expectations. There's always a duty officer on duty.
479
01:03:50.220 --> 01:04:07.489
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And I'm very thankful there were no
lasting impacts to Cupertino. We did lose power in quite a different…
quite a few different sections and quite a few different times in
Cupertino, but fortunately, power was able to be restored.
480
01:04:08.100 --> 01:04:11.559
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Fairly quickly, considering,
481
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:20.709
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, we were very, very lucky. Santa
Cruz actually got a inclement weather warning of tornadoes.
482
01:04:21.150 --> 01:04:24.629
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That there was a possibility of
tornadoes, so that was,
483
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:29.149
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It was a fun text to get from friends
in Santa Cruz.
484
01:04:29.720 --> 01:04:43.320
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I will also say, Valley Water is part
of our responses here. So they immediately, I want to say on December
16th, were preparing, sandbag pickup locations.
485
01:04:43.420 --> 01:04:57.590
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They have quite a few of those, and
they actually do something that I personally think is brilliant, that
they have, live streams of some of their sandbag locations, so you can
check and make sure, okay, if I'm going to drive over.
486
01:04:58.170 --> 01:05:04.269
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Whichever, sandbag location, do they
still have some for me?
487
01:05:04.390 --> 01:05:12.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The city also, prepared to have
sandbags, but I don't believe there were any requests for them.
488
01:05:12.660 --> 01:05:21.219
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So… Right now, most of what we're
looking at for the December storms is
489
01:05:21.640 --> 01:05:24.799
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It was not fun, it was not pretty,
but…
490
01:05:24.910 --> 01:05:28.329
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It was not as bad as it really, really
could have been.
491
01:05:28.930 --> 01:05:36.310
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then, moving to January, National
Weather Service
492
01:05:36.500 --> 01:05:43.620
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: designated a major risk due to colds.
That'll be tonight, about 1AM to 9am.
493
01:05:43.820 --> 01:05:53.419
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Some of you may have received an email
from myself or the communications office. With information about
494
01:05:53.830 --> 01:06:04.199
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Where to find shelter if needed.
That's provided by the county. Or, what to look out for in cases of
hypothermia.
495
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:08.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: A lot of times, people look at…
496
01:06:09.140 --> 01:06:13.840
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Messaging when it's cold, and say, Are
you kidding me?
497
01:06:13.970 --> 01:06:23.250
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: just put on a sweater and turn up the
heat. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people who are unable to do that
for a variety of reasons.
498
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:32.269
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And, what some research has found is
that there is a,
499
01:06:32.580 --> 01:06:37.870
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Demographic subset that just refuses
to turn on the heat.
500
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:54.100
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They… they will not do it, and it
doesn't matter that we've sent out an advisory. So, part of what the
message to the volunteers was, was, I know it sounds silly, but please go
check on your neighbor. Please make sure that everyone's alright.
501
01:06:54.380 --> 01:06:59.490
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: One of the interesting things about
502
01:06:59.900 --> 01:07:11.219
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I'm gonna get nerdy, for just a
minute, but the… surprise! The way that the risk is designated
specifically for cold came from agriculture.
503
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:20.850
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So originally, when they said there
was a major risk, it was to let farmers know that there was a risk to
crops. That has changed.
504
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:25.630
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It is still an element of the
designation.
505
01:07:25.990 --> 01:07:28.960
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But at this point, when we're talking
about major risk.
506
01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:32.969
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It is also, to people, pets.
507
01:07:33.500 --> 01:07:51.910
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then one of the things is because
it was designated major risk by the National Weather Service, that
triggers our inclement weather protocol. So that was why the messages
came out, not just through social media, but through the volunteers,
through the delivery.
508
01:07:51.910 --> 01:07:58.749
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I don't believe there has been any
talk of an alert SEC message going out.
509
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:02.599
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Because it… it doesn't quite reach
that level.
510
01:08:04.690 --> 01:08:16.239
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But this is one of the ways that the
city has adapted over the years. When we created the REACH program, it
was specifically looking at, okay, we have a major risk.
511
01:08:16.510 --> 01:08:26.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, we can… we can send out a
newsletter, but if not everyone is signed up, then how do we reach people
who we aren't traditionally reaching?
512
01:08:27.670 --> 01:08:31.510
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And finally…
513
01:08:31.790 --> 01:08:39.679
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We have continued our partnership with
the West San… excuse me, West Santa Clara Landscape Resiliency Project.
514
01:08:39.930 --> 01:08:54.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Right now, we're going through the
review process of looking at the proposals and making sure that
everything they're doing lines up with our expectations. So, for example,
if
515
01:08:54.130 --> 01:09:00.309
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They have a recommendation to, thin
trees. We're making sure that
516
01:09:00.310 --> 01:09:09.379
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: there's something in there saying, in
Cupertino, these are the requirements to remove a tree. Just so that,
517
01:09:09.380 --> 01:09:22.880
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Because the project is also available
to private landowners, not just the city, so that people aren't getting a
nasty shock to learn that, no, you need a permit to take down that tree.
518
01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:28.720
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, it's slow, but it's interesting.
519
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:44.210
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And we are seeing a lot of variety in
the suggested actions. So not just removing trees, but also, in some
cases, prescribed burns.
520
01:09:45.210 --> 01:09:47.429
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And also,
521
01:09:47.660 --> 01:09:54.740
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Herbivory, which is where we get
sheeps and goats to come in, and eat up potential fuel.
522
01:09:55.200 --> 01:10:00.699
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, I'm gonna try and keep giving
updates on this project as it goes.
523
01:10:02.220 --> 01:10:15.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then finally, we've had some
concerns. There were… there… I believe it was a YouTube video originally,
about flock cameras and, a YouTuber
524
01:10:16.260 --> 01:10:23.039
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Accessing a lot of… Information, as
well as live feeds for different types of…
525
01:10:23.160 --> 01:10:36.799
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: products that Flock offers. So right
now, I'm looking into it, and our information and tech… excuse me,
innovation and technology team are also looking into making sure that
526
01:10:37.530 --> 01:10:41.629
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Cupertino was not having information
exposed, and
527
01:10:41.660 --> 01:10:58.899
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what level of risk it is, what we can
do, and what the expectations are. I will say that in this case, it is
the sheriff's Office surveillance policy that all of this falls under.
528
01:10:59.910 --> 01:11:05.210
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, for more information, we're
looking at their surveillance policy,
529
01:11:06.250 --> 01:11:13.889
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But this was part of the ALPR
installation. This was the discussion that was had,
530
01:11:14.080 --> 01:11:26.389
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: About the security, and it goes kind
of into the cybersecurity, but also into making sure that when, we select
a contractor, we're selecting our best option.
531
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:33.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So I'm also very lucky to have Tom's
notes to go back and see
532
01:11:33.250 --> 01:11:37.079
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: What he was saying and where this
decision came from.
533
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:43.339
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And as this develops, I will update as
well. And finally.
534
01:11:43.930 --> 01:11:49.710
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: As I do every time, reminding everyone
to please sign up for AlertSCC.
535
01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:54.509
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Leah. Go ahead.
536
01:11:54.510 --> 01:11:56.970
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, actually, I just… if you can keep
those…
537
01:11:57.730 --> 01:12:02.220
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Slides back on, because it's easier to ask
questions when you're back in front of you.
538
01:12:03.410 --> 01:12:10.350
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Go ahead. Mine is a general question,
actually. The, the block leader meeting from two days ago, was that
recorded?
539
01:12:11.010 --> 01:12:13.480
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): It is not. Wasn't trache yet.
540
01:12:13.820 --> 01:12:19.710
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the… the presentation that the
Sheriff's Office gave
541
01:12:19.950 --> 01:12:23.199
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): It was sent out to Lock Leaders and
Neighborhood Watch.
542
01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:27.479
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, we don't record the meetings.
543
01:12:30.280 --> 01:12:32.450
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we put the.
544
01:12:32.450 --> 01:12:35.979
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): slides back on. Somebody else has. Oh,
yeah.
545
01:12:38.090 --> 01:12:40.859
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's start with the first one. I'll just…
I have a couple.
546
01:12:40.860 --> 01:12:47.110
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: No comments with regard to the first…
Yeah, so,
547
01:12:47.270 --> 01:12:52.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It would be very interesting when you
give us these updates.
548
01:12:52.260 --> 01:12:59.219
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: To maybe have a link that shows, you
know, whatever that sheriff's department,
549
01:12:59.810 --> 01:13:06.010
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: presentation was, if there is one,
because This is inflammation.
550
01:13:07.490 --> 01:13:12.610
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: that… If I were to read the slide, I
don't get very much of it.
551
01:13:13.430 --> 01:13:17.430
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, I… I would like to see, like.
552
01:13:18.130 --> 01:13:23.679
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Some meeting minutes are for general
meeting, or… and or, you know, work where
553
01:13:23.980 --> 01:13:29.830
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Three lines about the highlights of
that open house, or some kind of presentation about
554
01:13:29.900 --> 01:13:42.910
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: block legal program, that sort of
thing. So that gives me a little bit more information, and if somebody
were to be concerned about, you know, for example, that was a very good
meeting, I'm told, I wasn't able to attend it.
555
01:13:42.910 --> 01:13:50.080
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But that would be very nice to get
that presentation, and people can look at it, yet apparently there were,
556
01:13:50.360 --> 01:14:04.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: There were a lot of… there was a lot
of participation, and it would be nice to have meeting minutes for that
kind of thing. I know they're not reported, but it would be nice to get
meeting minutes and such. We don't do meeting minutes for block later
meetings. They're not that formalized.
557
01:14:06.360 --> 01:14:13.370
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Maybe we need to, you know, have such
a formal… you know, so especially when you have a lot of
558
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:27.549
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: you know, feedback from the
population. We want to capture their concerns, we want to capture their
ideas. We can't, you know, everybody cannot be there, but it may be
interesting for us to
559
01:14:27.830 --> 01:14:40.660
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: have a work plan that says, okay, here
were the three ideas that came out of the block leader meeting, or
something that we can possibly implement. Maybe nothing came out of this
one, but going forward, it would be useful to have something like that.
560
01:14:41.740 --> 01:14:51.790
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Anyone else has any comments? Yeah, I
just had a kind of a random question, like, I remember last year, like,
we were hearing, and, like, you mentioned how, like.
561
01:14:52.290 --> 01:15:04.620
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I think… is it, like, NOAA, or, like,
National Weather Service, like, there were some, like, sensors, or, like,
some things being turned off, or, like, not being staffed appropriately?
562
01:15:05.740 --> 01:15:13.029
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: That… I'm… The federal funding cuts…
I'm not sure yet confirmed.
563
01:15:13.590 --> 01:15:20.360
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I believe everyone in National Weather
Service is designated as essential personnel.
564
01:15:20.500 --> 01:15:25.230
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So if you're referring to the
shutdown, they were… they were still…
565
01:15:25.500 --> 01:15:34.090
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: working. Or… I remember, like, last
year, like, I think there was a mention, like, I think, like, off the
coast of the bay, there's, like, a…
566
01:15:34.090 --> 01:15:45.560
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: there's, like, a lone, like, beacon or
something that's, like, the early warning system. I'm just wondering,
like, whether there were any impacts to, like, our forecasting ability,
or, like, whether there were any…
567
01:15:45.570 --> 01:15:53.420
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: like, gaps in visibility? Not that I'm
aware of, but I… Hello.
568
01:15:54.140 --> 01:16:03.840
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think this is great. I think,
I even got the reminder, I put it in the Block Later program, but I got a
couple of reminders, like, I think in the mail of when I asked the
invite.
569
01:16:04.020 --> 01:16:14.730
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Everything is great. I was hoping,
like, can we also include what are the upcoming meetings? I think we did,
I think last time or so, for the next couple of months, that way we can
plan to attend.
570
01:16:16.290 --> 01:16:17.110
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
571
01:16:18.160 --> 01:16:20.629
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If you can go to the next slide.
572
01:16:24.130 --> 01:16:39.210
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So the… the concern in January, I
mean, December is great, we… we got through whatever without lasting
impact, that's fantastic. So the risk really is that it's going to be
extremely cold.
573
01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:45.799
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Will there be any kind of a wind or
something that may knock the power out, or any such?
574
01:16:46.040 --> 01:16:50.849
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: No, right, right now, it's… we have a,
a cold advisory.
575
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:59.970
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And that's it, yeah. Okay, good,
alright, that's… I mean, it's not good if you don't want to turn on your
heat, but…
576
01:17:00.490 --> 01:17:15.420
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It is what it is, okay. I think that
is a very detailed email. I've just looked at it. Okay. It's pretty good,
yeah. Okay, right then, I'm not on that email. I didn't look at it. We'll
figure out how to… Okay.
577
01:17:15.940 --> 01:17:18.289
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then the last one,
578
01:17:19.930 --> 01:17:27.799
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So what… I may be ignorant here, what
is West Santa Clara Landscape Resiliency Project?
579
01:17:28.100 --> 01:17:31.380
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so that is a,
580
01:17:33.150 --> 01:17:38.129
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I believe they're a non-profit, but
they're working with
581
01:17:38.480 --> 01:17:43.610
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: The jurisdictions of the cities, and
then also with,
582
01:17:44.690 --> 01:17:46.970
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: CAL FIRE and the fire departments.
583
01:17:47.110 --> 01:17:53.219
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But, if you remember the fire hazard
zones.
584
01:17:53.360 --> 01:18:07.440
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, what they are doing is they've
taken those zones, and are looking at what can be done, specifically in
West Santa Clara County,
585
01:18:08.420 --> 01:18:13.069
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: to reduce… those hazard levels.
586
01:18:13.520 --> 01:18:17.700
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, for the city of Cupertino,
587
01:18:17.870 --> 01:18:33.109
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: in terms of land that the city owns,
what was designated was, McClellan Ranch and Blackberry Fawn. So, for
example, part of what they were looking into is
588
01:18:33.370 --> 01:18:35.890
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: First, identifying what…
589
01:18:36.130 --> 01:18:51.289
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: environment, that is. We have some
grassland, we have some hardwood… not quite forest, but hardwood stands.
And we also, in, Blackberry, we have the golf course.
590
01:18:51.570 --> 01:19:03.250
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, then it's looking at… Practical
things that we can do, without destroying, right, our public lands,
591
01:19:03.300 --> 01:19:15.109
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: and… and being very careful with CEQA,
that's actually what a lot of people say, to… to address the concerns
that, okay, let's take a look at, say.
592
01:19:15.180 --> 01:19:18.570
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Mcclellan Ranch.
593
01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:27.279
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And… Can we get goats to chew down
some of the grass? Is that feasible right now?
594
01:19:27.450 --> 01:19:33.490
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Right now, we're not locked into
anything. We have not… the city has not,
595
01:19:35.010 --> 01:19:42.139
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: has guaranteed any action or money,
because right now we're still… they are still looking at what
596
01:19:42.460 --> 01:19:46.339
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Is at the very practical, granular
level.
597
01:19:46.820 --> 01:19:53.459
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: What can landowners Do to reduce their
fire hazard.
598
01:19:53.560 --> 01:19:57.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I can't speak as much to the… the…
599
01:19:57.950 --> 01:20:06.300
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: private landowner side, but there,
there was a discussion about, working with HOAs.
600
01:20:06.430 --> 01:20:10.530
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Because I don't know if you all are
aware, but HOAs are not
601
01:20:11.490 --> 01:20:28.179
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: owned by the city. We don't own that
property. So taking a look at what HOAs are able to do in their specific
area, and the same thing of looking at, okay, if
602
01:20:28.430 --> 01:20:33.050
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If, say, we wanted to address this
field.
603
01:20:33.250 --> 01:20:47.649
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what actually is the most practical
thing for us to do. And then part of what the project is, is that they
are creating a checklist for whoever has the project,
604
01:20:48.360 --> 01:20:56.629
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: that, okay, you're in Cupertino? Well,
we've confirmed with Cupertino that this is the permit you will need to
remove the tree.
605
01:20:56.790 --> 01:21:07.860
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Or, wait, they are involved with
removing trees? Yeah, so they… they will make recommendations.
606
01:21:08.010 --> 01:21:16.729
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But if, say, their recommendation is
the trees in this area are very close together, and that increases the
buyer hazard.
607
01:21:17.970 --> 01:21:23.430
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Ben… They're not ordering the removal
of trees, but they're saying.
608
01:21:23.550 --> 01:21:38.179
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: to reduce the fire hazard of this
area, your best option… Please remove the tree, okay. Not all of them,
not all of them, because that's another part of their checklist, and,
it's looking at, okay, we have CEQA,
609
01:21:38.360 --> 01:21:39.990
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: How do we then…
610
01:21:40.120 --> 01:21:52.820
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: address our risk while still following
CEQA, while still respecting our environment. One of the… the,
611
01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:56.819
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Contingencies is, for example,
612
01:21:56.940 --> 01:22:09.859
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If you sign on to one of their
projects, you have to make sure that if there's a protected species, that
you are not destroying
613
01:22:10.020 --> 01:22:14.400
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: A protected species in the name of
reducing fire hazard.
614
01:22:14.540 --> 01:22:17.749
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And that is one of the things that
615
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:35.050
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I just don't… I don't have time,
right, to look into what exactly that entails. So we've been very
fortunate that this project exists outside of the jurisdiction, that they
can come to us and say, hey.
616
01:22:35.260 --> 01:22:48.139
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: this is what we're recommending you
can do, and this is what we're recommending as the best way to do that.
If we did take on part of the project as the city, we would still have
617
01:22:49.680 --> 01:23:00.579
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: the autonomy, right, to, at the end of
the day, say, okay, you've given us three options, we're going to pick
option A as how we will,
618
01:23:00.770 --> 01:23:09.920
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Reduce fire risk, or, rebuild from
fire, if… If that happens.
619
01:23:10.620 --> 01:23:16.550
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But it, it really, it really is a, a
group of people,
620
01:23:16.910 --> 01:23:22.189
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Saying, okay, you don't have time to
look into this as deeply as
621
01:23:22.480 --> 01:23:24.479
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: It needs to be looked into.
622
01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:32.999
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Can you check in with us on a regular
basis and make sure that what we're doing actually makes sense?
623
01:23:33.200 --> 01:23:50.739
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: for the cities, for the county, for
state. So right now, Cupertino is working with this resiliency project on
specifically two areas? No. Right now, the city's involvement is I am
looking at the draft of their project.
624
01:23:50.770 --> 01:24:05.460
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And I can make suggestions that will
then go to the city managers before we go in. But right… right now, what
I'm looking at is double-checking with our city arborists that the
permits
625
01:24:05.460 --> 01:24:18.739
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: about trees are correct, that, that
they're not accidentally giving false information, if someone were to
take on this project. So, they have decided that they will go through,
626
01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:34.179
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what is that? McClellan Ranch and… and
whatever, and they've come up with, here's what we want to remove, or…
Yeah. So, what, at the end of the day, this is, is they are saying, City
of Cupertino.
627
01:24:34.390 --> 01:24:40.740
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If you want to lower the fire hazard
risk in this particular area.
628
01:24:40.900 --> 01:24:45.529
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: These are what we recommend, and here
is a checklist
629
01:24:45.640 --> 01:25:00.279
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: that we have already made for you to
make sure that you're still CEQA compliant, and that you're… So they gave
us that checklist now, or they will give it to us? They will give it to
us if we request it. So there is no… So what is involved with requesting
it?
630
01:25:00.750 --> 01:25:10.970
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: I believe that would be including
manager and council. That's fine, but is there money involved, or is that
just a… it's a non-profit, so are they just doing it as a social service?
631
01:25:11.260 --> 01:25:15.740
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: No, so what they're doing is giving
the recommendations. They…
632
01:25:15.890 --> 01:25:26.760
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They don't do the actual work. That
would be the city. No, no, the city will do the work, I understand that.
But to give you those recommendations, are they going to charge us
something from the city?
633
01:25:27.040 --> 01:25:44.460
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Or you don't know that? No. Right now,
the only involvement that the city has is just that I am giving
suggestions and feedback. We do not have any financial obligation, we do
not have any actions that we are… I get that. What I'm asking is.
634
01:25:45.460 --> 01:25:51.979
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: They have not given us any
recommendation. Not yet. But you are saying, here.
635
01:25:52.130 --> 01:26:06.600
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: is what the arborists have said are
the trees that require permits if you want to remove. Is that what you're
doing? So, when I talk about the checklist, right now, what is happening
is they have given us
636
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:12.500
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: a draft of the checklist, and are
saying, hey, City of Cupertino, we've put
637
01:26:12.890 --> 01:26:30.740
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: this is the permit you need to do
this, this, and this. Can you please confirm if that is the case? Okay,
so they have… that's my question to start with. They have given us a
checklist, but that's a draft of the checklist. Okay. That's what I
wanted to understand. And that did not cost us anything yet.
638
01:26:30.830 --> 01:26:35.450
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Is it yet, or is it… Not gonna cost
us.
639
01:26:35.580 --> 01:26:46.999
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If we choose to take on one of the
projects and implement it, then that's up to us. Yes. But for the
checklist itself, we're not paying it. Okay, that was my question with
that. Okay.
640
01:26:47.430 --> 01:26:53.220
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: And then the… with regard to the flock
cameras, you were…
641
01:26:53.570 --> 01:27:06.400
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what's your involvement? What's the
city's involvement with you? I say, when we say city, it's unfortunately
just you at this point, right, for the public safety. Well, in this one,
I'm very lucky, because I have our innovation and technology team as
well. Okay.
642
01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:16.869
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: But it's because it's a safety
concern, I'm looking into and liaising with the sheriff's office. On. On…
right now.
643
01:27:17.150 --> 01:27:27.159
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: what exactly did we agree to with
Flock? And do they have the protections for our data that we need?
644
01:27:27.690 --> 01:27:31.919
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: So, right now, Innovation and
technology are looking into
645
01:27:32.260 --> 01:27:43.130
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: is our data secure? Is everything a
closed loop? But there's also the sheriff's office that will have to have
conversations about
646
01:27:43.510 --> 01:27:49.810
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: If, worst case scenario, our
information is not safe, what would our next steps be?
647
01:27:50.150 --> 01:27:50.880
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
648
01:27:52.080 --> 01:27:52.950
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Right?
649
01:27:53.250 --> 01:28:00.189
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you so much. Sorry for being so
detailed, but I just did not understand this part of it at all, so…
650
01:28:00.300 --> 01:28:01.570
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Kind of dug in.
651
01:28:04.220 --> 01:28:07.110
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: Any public comment on this?
652
01:28:07.310 --> 01:28:12.760
Audio shared by Quinlan Conf Room: We have one hand raised on Zoom, if I
just share one moment.
653
01:28:26.220 --> 01:28:27.520
Quinlan Conf Room: Welcome, San Rao!
654
01:28:28.510 --> 01:28:31.740
San Rao: Good evening, Chair, Vice Chair, and Commissioners.
655
01:28:32.170 --> 01:28:36.869
San Rao: I am quite alarmed by the discussion about tree
656
01:28:37.250 --> 01:28:40.310
San Rao: Foliage reduction or tree reduction.
657
01:28:40.740 --> 01:28:45.499
San Rao: This, in particular, on the hillside, should be done with
extreme caution.
658
01:28:45.830 --> 01:28:49.989
San Rao: I know when you think hillsides, you probably think the county,
but we have…
659
01:28:50.110 --> 01:28:54.040
San Rao: a fair amount of Inspiration Heights, Creston, Border Vista
South.
660
01:28:54.340 --> 01:28:59.280
San Rao: Fregnott Canyon, and many other neighborhoods that are in
hillsides.
661
01:28:59.610 --> 01:29:04.150
San Rao: And so I'm extremely concerned about any attempt to reduce…
662
01:29:04.490 --> 01:29:07.089
San Rao: Trees in the name of fire safety, because…
663
01:29:07.320 --> 01:29:12.749
San Rao: It is a delicate balance between the soil stability and erosion
prevention versus
664
01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:19.749
San Rao: Any sort of fire prevention, so while we do need some tree
thinning, tree removal goes to the other extreme.
665
01:29:19.930 --> 01:29:24.379
San Rao: And causes quite a bit of hillside instability, so very, very
concerned about that.
666
01:29:24.500 --> 01:29:27.450
San Rao: Given the nature of this item, I'm, I'm,
667
01:29:27.750 --> 01:29:33.559
San Rao: Urging you to consider agendizing these items, and also
recommend that this go on the agenda for City Council.
668
01:29:33.670 --> 01:29:37.069
San Rao: This is something that most residents are totally unaware of.
669
01:29:37.400 --> 01:29:42.130
San Rao: So we just need to… Not leave this to staff discretion.
670
01:29:42.580 --> 01:29:57.240
San Rao: And… and this should not be an item that is decided at the City
Manager's level, or the city manager's office level. This should be going
to Council, and they should be coming to Public Safety Commission. And
please, do not remove trees
671
01:29:57.420 --> 01:30:01.199
San Rao: Where we can avoid it. Tree thinning is okay, but not treatable.
672
01:30:01.360 --> 01:30:13.279
San Rao: I know we've… we've, for whatever reason, we've got a penchance
for tree removal in our city. When we have new projects on Stevens Creek,
we seem to be asking applicants to remove trees on Stevens Creek and
replant new trees.
673
01:30:13.480 --> 01:30:22.500
San Rao: when we did the Memorial Park study plan, the recommendation
came back that 65% of the trees would be removed in Memorial Park, so it
just…
674
01:30:22.630 --> 01:30:29.129
San Rao: It confuses me why we do so much tree removal in Coppertino.
Similarly, when we did the sidewalk refresh.
675
01:30:29.450 --> 01:30:33.009
San Rao: Areas where there was a sidewalk refreshed trees were removed.
676
01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:40.729
San Rao: And really, we need an inventory of how many trees we remove and
why, and we need a hearing before the remove.
677
01:30:40.950 --> 01:30:45.219
San Rao: I'd also love to see us add the redwood trees into the protected
tree list.
678
01:30:45.370 --> 01:30:50.449
San Rao: We have too many cases of new homeowners coming in and removing
trees as the first act that they do.
679
01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:56.950
San Rao: And the redwood trees in particular, we need to protect. We
protect the oak trees, but we don't protect the redwood trees. Thank you.
680
01:30:58.290 --> 01:31:02.649
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. We have no hands raised on
Zoom, and no speakers in person.
681
01:31:03.990 --> 01:31:04.720
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright.
682
01:31:05.160 --> 01:31:11.460
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, yeah, so you can move on to the next
item. Okay, Commissioner Reports?
683
01:31:15.270 --> 01:31:18.210
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Anyone did anything public safety related,
or…
684
01:31:18.360 --> 01:31:20.980
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Saw something, or had conversations.
685
01:31:20.985 --> 01:31:30.994
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): missed this particular, presentation, but
there was one by the Cupertino Library Foundation on fire hazards.
686
01:31:31.045 --> 01:31:47.734
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): just the fact that, you know, Certino and
what's going on, and next time I hear of that, I will set something up. I
will… they had one in December, it was very well attended, the fire
department, and they served
687
01:31:47.755 --> 01:31:57.045
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): had also participated in that, and they've
come in to say, you know, how are the fire maps created? That's very
useful information, I think.
688
01:31:57.335 --> 01:32:09.224
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So going forward, we need to kind of make
sure that we get that. There's going to be follow-ons to that. It'll be
very interesting, I think, for the Commission in general, and maybe even
the City to participate.
689
01:32:09.595 --> 01:32:15.225
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was in attendance at that, and it was
recorded. I don't know if it's available publicly or not.
690
01:32:15.225 --> 01:32:20.775
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): It will be put, I mean, it was recorded,
but the recording may or may not have been fully…
691
01:32:21.165 --> 01:32:28.055
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): done well. I think it will be up on the
website, but it's a very… I heard it was very well attended. I was out of
the country.
692
01:32:31.890 --> 01:32:33.089
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, over the…
693
01:32:33.410 --> 01:32:48.029
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, holiday season, I was, like, for any
of my, like, friends or family who are, like, from the county, I was,
like, trying to, like, put the… I was, like, trying to get them to, like,
register for Alert SCC, and, like, I think, like, pretty much across the
board, like.
694
01:32:48.300 --> 01:33:03.449
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): from younger folks to older folks, like,
people just felt it was, like, unnecessarily difficult. Like, the actual
form, it's like, one more password to remember, that kind of stuff. But
yeah, I'm sure we'll…
695
01:33:03.550 --> 01:33:07.070
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, dig our claws into this, this year.
696
01:33:07.600 --> 01:33:08.530
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): For sure.
697
01:33:09.290 --> 01:33:12.809
Quinlan Conf Room: So just, like, interesting anecdotal evidence. So it's
not just, like.
698
01:33:12.950 --> 01:33:20.699
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): older folks who find it irritating. It's
like even people you would expect to be very sad. Yeah, so…
699
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:36.510
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was in attendance at the Lawson Art Open
House. It was fairly well attended, I think there were probably 8 people
come through, and…
700
01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:40.189
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): On that, we… detailed, basically.
701
01:33:40.190 --> 01:33:44.870
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): how to open an arc, and what's required.
702
01:33:45.250 --> 01:33:48.700
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, with cares and etc.
703
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:56.880
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, we do… have a monthly GMRS slash ham
radio check.
704
01:33:57.070 --> 01:33:59.420
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): the fourth Saturday at 3.30.
705
01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:05.250
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you can report into your specific
zones, wherever you all live, Paris. Okay.
706
01:34:05.250 --> 01:34:05.840
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's talk about that.
707
01:34:05.840 --> 01:34:06.970
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, no, that's very.
708
01:34:06.970 --> 01:34:08.160
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): useful to know.
709
01:34:10.700 --> 01:34:23.599
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I think the only email thread I was
talking earlier, like, especially to increase the elect SEC awareness, I
sent a couple of emails to Library Commission, but I haven't received any
response, so…
710
01:34:23.870 --> 01:34:25.539
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I need to figure all this stuff up.
711
01:34:26.510 --> 01:34:28.980
Quinlan Conf Room: Like, maybe I attend one of the meetings.
712
01:34:29.475 --> 01:34:34.585
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think the Library Commission focuses on
what goes into the library and stuff like that.
713
01:34:34.695 --> 01:34:39.954
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're not very… involved beyond the
library.
714
01:34:39.955 --> 01:34:43.395
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, my idea was… my, request is very
specific.
715
01:34:43.635 --> 01:34:48.935
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): to put the, like, awareness or, you know,
QR code on the display.
716
01:34:48.935 --> 01:34:58.874
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So then that, you can just directly send
it to the librarian, Brian Bauer, I'll give you his contact information.
He will put a lot of things, so you don't need the commission for that.
717
01:34:59.525 --> 01:35:05.445
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The Commission's not involved at all, what
goes on the display, but Bryant will… Whoa.
718
01:35:06.770 --> 01:35:07.430
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
719
01:35:07.550 --> 01:35:09.460
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's good to know.
720
01:35:11.460 --> 01:35:17.930
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cool. Awesome. Yeah, I think that's all
for Commission Reports. Okay. Future agenda setting?
721
01:35:19.130 --> 01:35:22.920
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We've got many topics.
722
01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:24.410
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so…
723
01:35:24.415 --> 01:35:36.414
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): is because we don't currently have a
chair, and the election will be at the next meeting, every potential
topic will need not a full vote, but just a motion on us at
724
01:35:36.855 --> 01:35:39.025
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright.
725
01:35:40.530 --> 01:35:42.990
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess we can have one item, which is, like.
726
01:35:43.390 --> 01:35:48.099
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe we can each… Try to come up with,
727
01:35:49.270 --> 01:35:54.580
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): or, like, think about a way to increase
alert SEC registration, and then we just kind of…
728
01:35:55.110 --> 01:35:58.199
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): report back, see what we want to
implement.
729
01:35:58.460 --> 01:35:59.410
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's automatically.
730
01:35:59.415 --> 01:36:08.484
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): there in the automatically include. Oh,
okay. Right? I mean, did I get that correctly? I mean, it's… The work
items, the work list.
731
01:36:08.485 --> 01:36:24.364
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, but I think this is, like,
specifically the next meetings' agenda items. Yes. So we can have one for
that, and then, we should have another agenda item for some of the,
specific issues that were mentioned by
732
01:36:24.505 --> 01:36:30.175
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mr. Rao today, so we can have, like, an
issue on… or an agenda item on…
733
01:36:30.495 --> 01:36:39.255
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): The tree removal, red light. Or, I guess
the first one would be, like, the red light, red light cameras and
speeding cameras, maybe…
734
01:36:39.425 --> 01:36:41.985
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): If we could get, like,
735
01:36:42.815 --> 01:36:47.144
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Someone to speak on, like, the viability
of that, whether the city has considered that.
736
01:36:47.345 --> 01:36:49.475
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before. Okay.
737
01:36:49.475 --> 01:36:52.475
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I get a motion and a second for first the…
738
01:36:52.475 --> 01:36:56.255
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, so yeah, motion to,
have the…
739
01:36:56.785 --> 01:37:02.445
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, precursor ideas on alert SEC
registration.
740
01:37:02.695 --> 01:37:04.944
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): As an agenda item.
741
01:37:06.070 --> 01:37:06.830
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Second.
742
01:37:06.970 --> 01:37:14.050
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then a motion and a second to
add the red light and speeding cameras. So what.
743
01:37:14.055 --> 01:37:16.604
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What exactly are we adding on to the
agenda?
744
01:37:16.605 --> 01:37:25.085
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I guess we'd want to understand, like,
what the city's, like, perspective is on those cameras. Like, have they
considered adding them before?
745
01:37:25.255 --> 01:37:26.834
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That kind of thing.
746
01:37:26.835 --> 01:37:32.584
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, when we, when we say city, that's
Martha's going to go back and check with whom?
747
01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:36.180
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I believe that would be our transit team.
748
01:37:39.320 --> 01:37:41.020
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and not the tip.
749
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:47.600
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): It would start with transportation, and
then… I…
750
01:37:47.770 --> 01:37:55.820
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we could involve TIC, but… If you're
saying who of city staff, it would be the tran… sorry, transportation.
751
01:37:55.820 --> 01:38:00.930
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And not the… I'm sorry, not TIC, I meant
IT department, because they would have had requests.
752
01:38:01.220 --> 01:38:02.200
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): 4.
753
01:38:02.450 --> 01:38:04.159
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, cameras, and…
754
01:38:04.430 --> 01:38:09.899
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Have they done any analysis on that? Are
they looking at it? Has anybody mentioned it to them?
755
01:38:10.180 --> 01:38:12.620
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We get that information as well? Okay.
756
01:38:12.820 --> 01:38:17.580
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because transportation may come back and
say, no, and then what happens to the report?
757
01:38:19.500 --> 01:38:25.119
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? I mean… Her, yeah, so I guess,
like, maybe… maybe the way to think about it is, like.
758
01:38:25.510 --> 01:38:33.249
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): To work backwards, so it's like, at the
next meeting, like, presumably the decision that we want to make is,
like.
759
01:38:33.910 --> 01:38:36.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Whether or not we wanna… Like…
760
01:38:36.950 --> 01:38:39.049
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Recommend to Council?
761
01:38:39.360 --> 01:38:45.979
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Whether, there should be, like, more red
light cameras, or,
762
01:38:46.350 --> 01:38:50.659
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Speeding cameras, and so what would be
helpful is, like.
763
01:38:50.830 --> 01:38:57.430
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): The necessary, like, personnel who could,
like, help us, or educate us on that issue, so that we can
764
01:38:57.920 --> 01:39:00.870
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Nuts. Make the recommendation. Good.
765
01:39:00.875 --> 01:39:06.855
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because that makes more sense to me, it's
like, otherwise, it was like, what is the agenda item? Yeah, so I guess
all…
766
01:39:06.855 --> 01:39:15.225
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): can we get, like, what are the current
metrics on the traffic enforcement, right? And then, what are the
improvements, what we're looking, right?
767
01:39:15.225 --> 01:39:23.245
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I think specifically, like, like, Mr.
Rao mentioned how there's, like, a pilot program, I think, happening in
the state.
768
01:39:23.645 --> 01:39:35.505
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think. And I guess we would have to,
like, understand, like, what if, like, what's required of the city,
what's required of, like, the government of Cupertino in order to, like,
take part in this
769
01:39:35.635 --> 01:39:48.445
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): pilot. What are, like, other cities doing
that have implemented speeding cameras, red light cameras, how much does
it cost? Like, I guess we would need to know that info, and then based on
that, we can, like.
770
01:39:48.905 --> 01:39:52.205
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): decide what to recommend to Council,
essentially.
771
01:39:52.210 --> 01:40:02.709
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the agenda has to… so just to
reiterate, so what we're looking for is somebody who can give us that
information of what it takes for us to be part of the pilot.
772
01:40:03.090 --> 01:40:20.510
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): what has the county or the state figured
out so far, as far as the speeding and the red light cameras? So those
are the two critical pieces of information, otherwise there's… that
agenda item doesn't have value. Yeah.
773
01:40:20.510 --> 01:40:27.720
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess there's… yeah, maybe to, like,
summarize, so there's, like, 3… there's, like, 3 specific things, I
think, that are, like, needed. So…
774
01:40:27.930 --> 01:40:32.660
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We could… so this agenda item can be
considered, like, like.
775
01:40:33.160 --> 01:40:34.670
Quinlan Conf Room: information…
776
01:40:34.730 --> 01:40:37.670
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): On the speeding and red light cameras.
777
01:40:37.850 --> 01:40:42.810
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, like, it would basically need 3
things, right? So, like, first would be, like,
778
01:40:42.830 --> 01:41:00.560
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): what are the tools, like, at a city like
Cupertino's disposal for the problem that Mr. Rao mentioned? Like, are
there different… like, I remember with Flock, there were, like, different
types of cameras. So, like, what are the types of tools that other cities
are using? And then the second step would be, like.
779
01:41:00.580 --> 01:41:08.289
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Has the city or the county evaluated these
tools and cameras before? And then number 3 would be, like, any metrics,
like.
780
01:41:08.790 --> 01:41:13.709
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): what's going on in the cities that have
implemented it? Has it reduced,
781
01:41:14.490 --> 01:41:17.010
Quinlan Conf Room: the violations, and I think…
782
01:41:17.010 --> 01:41:19.350
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mr. Rao was mentioning, like, the…
783
01:41:19.660 --> 01:41:23.899
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, he was mentioning, like, the
downstream effect of all this was, like, traffic.
784
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:33.539
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, like, it would be interesting to know,
like, what the correlation or, like, whether there's any connection
there. So I think all these things would require, like.
785
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:36.909
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): quite a bit of information to be gathered.
786
01:41:36.915 --> 01:41:46.874
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, yeah, exactly. It's a good… it's a
very good topic to be, actually, the information that we need. The
question is, are we noting down that the agenda should be
787
01:41:47.145 --> 01:41:53.875
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, not just a transportation report
from transportation, but really a detailed
788
01:41:54.545 --> 01:41:59.085
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): report mentioning all of the items that
was just
789
01:42:00.215 --> 01:42:06.795
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, so I don't know if you've noted
down the three… okay. All right, okay, cool. So then we have to make a
motion now.
790
01:42:06.795 --> 01:42:16.455
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so, motion to, include the, red
light camera and speeding, camera information.
791
01:42:18.130 --> 01:42:19.620
Quinlan Conf Room: To the agenda.
792
01:42:21.280 --> 01:42:22.980
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): with specifics on…
793
01:42:22.980 --> 01:42:28.520
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, with all the information necessary
for us to make a decision on what to recommend Council.
794
01:42:30.580 --> 01:42:31.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Nothing.
795
01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:35.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Hold a second. Alright.
796
01:42:36.330 --> 01:42:39.419
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Anything else for future agenda items?
797
01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:43.299
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's a free rule of reading.
798
01:42:43.300 --> 01:42:43.850
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yup.
799
01:42:43.855 --> 01:42:51.144
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Actually, I mean, the tree removal part, I
think that was misinterstood. I think what the issue is, is that
800
01:42:52.295 --> 01:43:00.225
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): This particular resiliency project, if I
understand it right, is just giving you a checklist for what needs to be
fixed.
801
01:43:00.415 --> 01:43:11.005
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now, whether the tree gets removed or not,
from the city's perspective, is whether they require a permit to remove
that tree or not. And that is specific…
802
01:43:11.005 --> 01:43:16.025
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): The checklist is, if you choose to take on
a project, say,
803
01:43:17.025 --> 01:43:25.674
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): reducing the fire risk, or fire hazard
risk at Blackberry. Huh. The, the, the checklist is…
804
01:43:25.885 --> 01:43:36.865
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): here is how to comply with CECLA, here is
how to, make sure that all the permits are correct, here is how to,
805
01:43:36.965 --> 01:43:51.475
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't believe it would be the case in
Cupertino, but work with Native tribes to make sure that the cultural
needs are being met. Here is how to make sure that you're not disturbing
any native species. So, the.
806
01:43:51.475 --> 01:43:56.475
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So this is specific, though, to a
Clandland Ranch…
807
01:43:56.745 --> 01:43:59.844
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… golf course area. No, so the.
808
01:43:59.845 --> 01:44:03.194
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Checklist is just anyone who's doing these
projects.
809
01:44:03.305 --> 01:44:10.774
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is what you need to do. In… in terms
of making sure that the project is done in accordance
810
01:44:10.875 --> 01:44:17.015
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): with the… the Muni Code with the laws of
California with the fire.
811
01:44:17.015 --> 01:44:19.675
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): or nearly anything else. Okay. So…
812
01:44:19.985 --> 01:44:25.945
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we actually… so, that checklist Ben…
813
01:44:26.545 --> 01:44:29.535
Quinlan Conf Room: Has to be accepted by the city.
814
01:44:31.535 --> 01:44:44.865
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): before it gets implemented, like, some
private owner who has, like, 3… 3 acres or 10, 30 acres on the hill
cannot just randomly decide he wants to remove some trees. So… so the
checklist is…
815
01:44:45.870 --> 01:44:48.930
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Here are the laws and regulations.
816
01:44:50.340 --> 01:44:51.959
Quinlan Conf Room: This is how to comply with them.
817
01:44:53.150 --> 01:45:12.350
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's all it is. It's not, you must do
this, this, and this. It's, hey, it's really hard to research exactly how
to comply with CEQA, or the Endangered Species Act, or, something else.
So we've done that for you, and here's what you need to do in order to
stay compliant.
818
01:45:14.520 --> 01:45:19.020
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so… so right now, there is nobody
removing trees, as far as I know.
819
01:45:20.060 --> 01:45:21.310
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, alright.
820
01:45:21.440 --> 01:45:25.660
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess it's a good… That's my
understanding of it.
821
01:45:25.770 --> 01:45:31.779
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, but, there is the possibility that
under fire protection.
822
01:45:32.980 --> 01:45:39.840
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): there may be areas where the trees will be
removed. So the action item would be.
823
01:45:41.140 --> 01:45:42.710
Quinlan Conf Room: In my opinion.
824
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:50.890
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The agenda item should be… Is there any
implementation plan for the HILTS?
825
01:45:53.040 --> 01:45:55.210
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): That includes the treatment also.
826
01:45:55.215 --> 01:45:59.274
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, includes, you know, fire, fire
mitigation plan.
827
01:45:59.565 --> 01:46:03.075
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And if that is, What is it?
828
01:46:03.625 --> 01:46:10.415
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because that may involve tree removal,
that may just involve getting rid of the grass, there may be many things.
829
01:46:11.220 --> 01:46:19.510
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I think the tweet role is very
concerning, right? So, I'm not sure if we can get some metrics, like
common trees for remote. Okay, you guys are.
830
01:46:19.515 --> 01:46:29.984
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): really focused on the tree removal. They
have in there of, these are the kinds of trees to remove. The dead,
diseased trees are going away. Within that.
831
01:46:30.295 --> 01:46:35.695
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): in order to… to keep habitats, they're not
taking out all the trees.
832
01:46:35.695 --> 01:46:41.934
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's my understanding, too, that they're
not removing any trees right now. They're not recommending. No.
833
01:46:42.980 --> 01:46:46.230
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I say tree removal because it's, it's,
834
01:46:46.580 --> 01:46:51.440
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Kind of the simplest one to understand,
but there's also,
835
01:46:52.220 --> 01:46:57.370
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): oh gosh, what's the word? Pruning trees?
So it's not that…
836
01:46:57.620 --> 01:47:05.560
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): if they say, hey, there's a lot of trees
in this area, it is not immediately X number of trees must be cut down,
it's.
837
01:47:05.750 --> 01:47:07.050
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): How do we…
838
01:47:07.055 --> 01:47:10.395
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): retain this environment.
839
01:47:10.645 --> 01:47:29.624
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): how do we make sure that the environment
is healthy and resilient? That might be checking if all the trees are
alive and not diseased. It might be going through and making sure that
you don't have a bunch of branches that are getting caught up in each
other.
840
01:47:29.945 --> 01:47:30.415
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
841
01:47:30.805 --> 01:47:38.674
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's a very involved topic, basically, and
so I think simplifying it to tree removal is…
842
01:47:38.675 --> 01:47:42.155
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… that was… that was not well worded of
me, I apologize.
843
01:47:43.000 --> 01:47:55.149
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I was just thinking, like, maybe…
maybe we can first add, like, the agenda item, like, maybe get the jump
on one of the other work plans, like, maybe, regarding the second item,
which is the…
844
01:47:56.490 --> 01:48:01.490
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before that, do we… Oh, yeah. So the,
the, the agenda item.
845
01:48:01.495 --> 01:48:11.215
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): was, implementation, if any
implementation, of tree removal is being planned in the hills.
846
01:48:13.620 --> 01:48:17.750
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, and also Memorial Park, that was
one of the points.
847
01:48:17.755 --> 01:48:23.545
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The agenda item was not the tree removal
part. The agenda item is…
848
01:48:24.675 --> 01:48:28.485
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What are the fire mitigation plans?
849
01:48:28.665 --> 01:48:35.495
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or… Plans that the city has for the hills.
Now.
850
01:48:35.945 --> 01:48:42.594
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): where the memorial Park has trees removed
or not, that… does that even come under our jurisdiction?
851
01:48:43.885 --> 01:48:47.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because… We talk about safety and fire.
852
01:48:48.150 --> 01:48:49.730
Quinlan Conf Room: It really should be parks and Rec.
853
01:48:50.990 --> 01:48:52.960
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): How many trees are available for Memorial
Park?
854
01:48:52.965 --> 01:48:56.694
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We would… we would need to double check,
if those are HOAs.
855
01:48:56.825 --> 01:49:00.725
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because if they're HOAs, then the city is
not involved.
856
01:49:01.750 --> 01:49:09.060
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, HOAs can do what they want within
their HOA, within their… HOAs own their own land, yeah.
857
01:49:09.860 --> 01:49:15.400
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're part of the city, but, the…
858
01:49:18.870 --> 01:49:20.600
Quinlan Conf Room: If they're.
859
01:49:21.840 --> 01:49:31.719
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): if there's road that needs to be repaired,
my understanding is it is not only up to the city. My understanding, and
I can double check this, is that
860
01:49:31.720 --> 01:49:43.370
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): it would be a process with the HOA. So,
most of our roads are public, and they belong to the city. In an HOA, the
property is private.
861
01:49:43.480 --> 01:49:45.469
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is my understanding, I can double check
that.
862
01:49:46.750 --> 01:49:59.850
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, yeah, I'm interested in knowing what
the fire hazard mitigation plan is for the hills and the surrounding
areas, because, you know, it only takes one little fire, West Hills.
863
01:50:00.280 --> 01:50:14.310
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): entire Cupertino can go, just like the
other cities in Southern California. Now, if part of that mitigation plan
is to just move all the trees in the way, then that's a real concern, but
I doubt that we… there'll be something so stupid as that.
864
01:50:15.060 --> 01:50:15.640
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right.
865
01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:18.959
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, can I have a motion to abscess?
866
01:50:18.960 --> 01:50:20.090
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess the…
867
01:50:20.090 --> 01:50:26.360
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, motion to… You… we can just do
motion to add that. Motion to add that. Okay. And a second?
868
01:50:27.270 --> 01:50:29.379
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, second. Alright. I'm not clear.
869
01:50:29.380 --> 01:50:30.240
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): the motion.
870
01:50:30.725 --> 01:50:36.774
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The motion is to figure out what the fire
mitigation plans are for the hills of Cupertino. Okay.
871
01:50:38.055 --> 01:50:39.085
Quinlan Conf Room: Priorities.
872
01:50:40.695 --> 01:50:43.575
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What happens if there's a fight? What is
your plan?
873
01:50:43.935 --> 01:50:56.434
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Besides calling the fire department and
putting it out, do you have anything set up right now saying, hey, you
plant more of these type of fire-resistant tree, you know, plants, or,
you know.
874
01:50:56.795 --> 01:50:58.125
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What do you do?
875
01:50:58.665 --> 01:51:04.485
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): what is the city doing? If you don't have
one, then is it time for us to come up with one?
876
01:51:04.935 --> 01:51:05.985
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): WhatsApp?
877
01:51:07.860 --> 01:51:19.790
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, also, with the same comment of the
tree mall, can we write an email to public parks and Recreation, about
the tree mall, I think, that was mentioned? As an individual, we can.
878
01:51:21.810 --> 01:51:29.610
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): as a commission, I don't believe it's in
our jurisdiction to say, Parks and removing trees in.
879
01:51:29.800 --> 01:51:32.219
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): in Memorial Park is our issue or not?
880
01:51:33.180 --> 01:51:34.000
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hmm.
881
01:51:34.610 --> 01:51:39.670
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, yeah, I guess maybe, like,
Agenda item for…
882
01:51:39.875 --> 01:51:42.605
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I do need a second. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh,
sorry.
883
01:51:42.605 --> 01:51:44.964
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. I thought you're not.
884
01:51:44.970 --> 01:51:45.570
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): the gems like.
885
01:51:45.575 --> 01:51:49.445
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): After that, I asked for clarification.
Okay, cool. Okay.
886
01:51:50.310 --> 01:51:54.239
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I guess, like, also agenda item,
887
01:51:54.360 --> 01:51:56.740
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): For each of us to probably, like.
888
01:51:57.490 --> 01:52:01.190
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do a little bit of research, come back
with ideas,
889
01:52:01.480 --> 01:52:07.029
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Regarding the second item on the work
plan, so that would be, like,
890
01:52:08.070 --> 01:52:16.360
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, like, fraud? How we can kind of,
help educate the public regarding this new class of problems.
891
01:52:16.590 --> 01:52:22.280
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, it would also be helpful to get
any insight from
892
01:52:22.660 --> 01:52:26.679
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, law enforcement for the city, like,
if there have been any, like.
893
01:52:27.250 --> 01:52:31.710
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): kind of, like, rise in, like, deepfake
cases, or, like, harassment.
894
01:52:31.715 --> 01:52:45.665
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll tell you what, we'll all nod our
heads here and go back, and we'll come back with maybe one line. So
what's the specific action item you want me to do between now and two
months to say, here's my contribution to the research?
895
01:52:45.665 --> 01:52:46.375
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): it's like…
896
01:52:46.610 --> 01:52:54.090
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, it would… I think it would literally
just be, like, two interesting ideas you think would be helpful for,
897
01:52:54.260 --> 01:52:57.270
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, so I guess the research would
include…
898
01:52:57.580 --> 01:53:11.849
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Us doing research on what are the problems
that are emerging to public safety from these new technologies, and then
based on that research, if we can each come back with two
899
01:53:11.950 --> 01:53:19.300
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, tangible, specific ideas for… that…
that each of us think Could be helpful.
900
01:53:19.690 --> 01:53:31.650
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): then we can deliberate here from what city
and what law enforcement has been seeing on their end, and then we can
have, like, a concrete plan for what we want to do. Okay.
901
01:53:31.655 --> 01:53:42.955
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): hearing is you're assigning all members of
the Commission the task to research and come back with two concrete
recommendations. The agenda item would be,
902
01:53:43.105 --> 01:53:45.795
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): A presentation or a discussion with
903
01:53:45.905 --> 01:53:54.005
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): the, information and technology with the
sheriff's Office and, each, each commissioner to discuss
904
01:53:54.245 --> 01:53:57.314
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): What… what they… Yes, yeah.
905
01:53:58.320 --> 01:54:01.990
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. And then the, I guess, like, the
objective of that would, like, the…
906
01:54:02.130 --> 01:54:12.409
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): At the next meeting, based on all that
information, based on all those ideas, we would then work to figure out
what we want to actually implement and push out into, like.
907
01:54:12.730 --> 01:54:22.399
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): all the various channels and stuff like
that, to actually carry out the ideas that we like. Yeah, so yeah, motion
to add that to the agenda. Second.
908
01:54:23.130 --> 01:54:24.650
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Certainly. Okay.
909
01:54:30.110 --> 01:54:37.720
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, that's four items on the… 4 items.
And just in the future, can we have the fire chief and the sheriff's
office
910
01:54:37.930 --> 01:54:50.309
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): do their report for us, because we are
otherwise… I mean, we can go on for hours, and the poor guy's waiting to
make his report, and it's a torture for them. Okay, I will,
911
01:54:50.315 --> 01:54:51.885
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll check with the city clerk.
912
01:54:52.015 --> 01:55:00.235
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Worst case scenario, we would just have it
like we did today, where the invoice, we…
913
01:55:03.750 --> 01:55:09.390
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And he seemed so ready to leave today. He
doesn't need to have… sit through all of this, but .
914
01:55:12.380 --> 01:55:14.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Another…
915
01:55:15.130 --> 01:55:16.310
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Item served.
916
01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:22.110
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think for now, Yes, we've got 4
addresses.
917
01:55:22.110 --> 01:55:25.739
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So it's like, yeah, I think we hit, like,
the top.
918
01:55:25.870 --> 01:55:32.660
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): 3, basically, and then plus the, buyer's
plan. Cool.
919
01:55:32.870 --> 01:55:37.830
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Awesome, yeah, I guess we're… done with
