Reports from:
City of Cupertino: Kitson distributed the August and September customer service reports from
AT&T. Kitson reported we are not receiving regular customer service reports from AT&T. The
Commission asked Kitson to talk to the City Attorney regarding penalties the city can inflict on AT&T
for not providing reports.
Kitson said Colin Jung would provide a timeline of the work schedule for the contract with
Kreines & Kreines.
Kitson said he was contacted by the Northpoint Home Owners Association board asking the
city to contact AT&T to meet with them regarding cable service. Eddie Garcia is working on this issue.
Kitson said he continues to get calls from residents complaining they are told by AT&T that cable
service is not available to them. It actually is, but AT&T has a huge database problem that isn't
reflecting the correct information.
Kitson said the city is advertising for commission openings.
Tsui requested the schools provide a report on how they used the educational grant money.
Kitson said he would contact the recipients.
De Anza College: No report. Bob Haber was not at meeting.
