Staff Foster responded that the parking enforcement is done by non-sworn, civilian staff. Chair Soules asked about automatic license reading with parking. Staff Foster responded about the technology to automatically read license plates to see if the car has been there past the time limit or if they have paid. Speed cameras are more of an equity concern and not parking since people usually are not at the car when ticketed. Heather Reed discussed a walk through at Alameda Point. Hannah Grose reported about issues with drag racing, speeding, sidewalks in disrepair, lighting, lack of striping and lack of speed humps/dips. Additional signage on the speed limit and enforcement would be helpful. Heather Reed is working with Madlen Saddik of the Chamber of Commerce and businesses on signage to make people aware of the residential business area. There is a drunk driving concern. It is extremely expensive to be poor. Commissioner Kohlstrand stated that the most equitable way to ticket is by camera and asked if they want to keep it in the Police Department. She also asked about neighborhood policing to ensure more positive interactions with the community. Hannah Grose said that the Alameda Point does have a great relationship with one police officer. They also have said that calls have gone unanswered. They are interested in having more positive interactions with police. They would prefer not to have drunk driving in their neighborhood.
