Volunteers and hot lines where people could report i. C. E. Activity. But so far today the phones have been quiet. The sweep was supposed to start early this morain up to 2,000 undocumented immigrants on final deportation orders who were living in specifically targeted cities across the country including the bay area. Immigrant rights activists say even though the raids never materialized, the preparation did mobilize the community. Here in the bay area theres been a tremendous amount of support and solidarity and the community has come together to protect each other and stand up and fight as one community against these types of attacks. Reporter i. C. E. Released a statement about the rumored raids, saying the agency will not offer specific details related to enforcement operations. As always, i. C. E. Prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety, and border security. Those activists say it is possible there were
Advance all of these as a body. That said, there is value in enforcement and to that end we did already shift a little bit more resource into the placard detail. With regard to and thats something well monitor the effectiveness of, as carla suggested, it is very time consuming and labor intensive, but feedback we heard from people concerned about these recommendations is that you really should try to increase enforcement, to educate people about enforcement, before you do some of these other things. So i think its a reasonable step forward. With regard to increased blue zones, two things. One is what we committed to doing is creating the equivalent to what we have for the public right of way in terms of an ad a transmission plan, a path for how we would get to an increased number of blue zones, how we would prioritize them, define them. The Committee Recommended we work with the Mayors Office on disability on looking at how we restrict locations for blue zones which were quite restrict
Its not an overnight thing, we are not issuing all these new spots as of this vote, its something you are anticipating doing and as you are doing that you will also be working with the state so we will have this multi pronged approach when the new things come in. And we will continue to bring new legislation on the board. Other communities around california, moving in this direction . So when we go to the legislation, others are supporting this . Ill let bob take a crack at this one. Theres a lot of interest in what were doing and local governments tend to always support local control, right . On november 8, lisa foster and myself gave a presentation to the California Public parking association. We were the last session on the last day and we had the place pretty much filled, thats how much interest there was.

Software, this provides a Software Platform that would really revolutionize my staffs ability to be effective in the functions that it has to do every day as the staff report referenced, it would eliminate a lot of the paperbased work we do including faxes and data entry. It would make our multiple spreadsheets and data bases with permit holder information actually talk to each other in a useful way, create online reporting opportunities for companies and i think relieve the Administrative Burden for what a lot of companies go through in order to provide weekly reports to us. It would also give us some tremendous analytical capacity with respect to the taxi fleet and it would make our field enforcement more effective so we hope to enjoy many of the benefits of this software.
