Staff’s responses to questions received from councilmember are shown in italics.
Q1: Since incident at the Maintenance Yard took place in August 2021, were other interim
security enhancements put in place to prevent recurrence. (Mohan)
After the incident that took place at the Service Center in August 2021, the City installed
additional security cameras at the Service Center. To facilitate efficient maintenance operations,
the gate has remained open during the day as it is burdensome to open, close, and lock to facilitate
consistent City vehicle access. Currently the gate is closed and locked at night and unlocked and
opened in the morning.
