Mr. Harris explained Tri-Cities operation and how it is evidently up <br />to the attendants as to where they want to live and that if they change <br />personnel they change locations for their ambulance. <br />Commissioner Jamieson asked if there were any complaints against Tri- <br />Cities on Francisco. Mr. Harris stated a couple of calls were received <br />but it mostly involved tenants parking their personal autos on the <br />street. He stated the staff notified the ambulance service concerning <br />this matter. He stated some mention has been made concerning the <br />upkeep of the yard, but the fact is the ambulance service maintains the <br />yard better than it had previously been maintained. <br />Commissioner Getty addressed the intersection of Mohr Avenue/Santa Rita <br />Road. She stated she was surprised the Police Department had no comments <br />concerning this. <br />Mr. Harris stated the Police Department did not comment on this regarding <br />the intersection. <br />Chairperson Doherty stated there is still a problem at Mohr Avenue/Santa <br />Rita Road even with the recent markings because of parking on Santa <br />Rita Road. He stated it could be that an ambulance would have better <br />visibility but emergency vehicles may be a problem. <br />The public hearing was opened. <br />Dan Holmes, 2570 First Street, Livermore, the applicant, spoke. He <br />concurred with all of the conditions of the staff report. <br />Mr. Holmes stated that most of his business relates to moving people <br />to and from convalescent homes, taking them to doctors, etc. He stated <br />they feel it would be better to have one car in Livermore and the other <br />in Pleasanton as opposed to two cars in Livermore. He stated most of <br />his calls are non-emergency type calls. <br />In response to a question of Commissioner Jamieson, Mr. Holmes stated <br />there would be no radios inside of the apartment, but that they would <br />have a telephone. He further stated that their radio is in no way <br />connected to a police radio but is merely used from the ambulance <br />dispatcher to the ambulance itself. <br />Commissioner Lindsey addressed Mohr Avenue and parking and asked for <br />assurance that the drivers of the ambulance would drive with caution <br />as they go onto Santa Rita Road. Mr. Holmes responded that it is <br />their policy to drive safely. <br />Commissioner Lindsey asked the percentage of emergency calls to total <br />calls. <br />Mr. Holmes stated it is about 5~, if that. <br />-3- <br /> <br />
