November 19, 2020Disaster Council Minutes <br />Utilities <br />• PG&E <br />• EBCE <br />2.F. <br />PG&E reported that they have a new CEO and there will be a PSPS review in <br />December that San Leandro will be participating in. One PSPS event impacted San <br />Leandro, which was a significant wind event. There were a few fire ignitions, but FD <br />handled quickly. There was a lot of damage to PG&E infrastructure. There were a few <br />indirect fires from the PSPS event caused by generators and candles. PG&E made a <br />lot of changes to make things better, though there were still issues, including with <br />messaging that PG&E is working on. <br /> While the fire season is winding down, PG&E has been experiencing an increase in <br />pole fires caused by dust and debris that gather on poles, which act as a conductor, <br />leading to arcing and pole fires. A good rain will help clean that debris off. There have <br />been over 50 pole fires in the Bay Area. <br />PG&E may come to cities to get assistance with removing hazardous trees because <br />of issues with the public. There has been a lot of work done in Oakland and the <br />Palmaris Rd area. <br />Other Agencies within the City <br />• Chamber of Commerce <br />• Faith Based Organizations <br />• Building Futures with Women and Children <br />2.G. <br />RACES reported that they conducted a non-program survey of the city to see where <br />they can transmit from and where they cannot hit, though due to the current <br />shutdowns, they are not able to correct a lot. They hope to have it fixed soon. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS3. <br />No public comments were received. <br />ADJOURN4. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 3:03 p.m. after wishes of Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe <br />and in your small pods. <br />Page 5City of San Leandro <br />102
