Also want to make note that the ACLU letter dated July 24, 2013 to the City Coun cil contains inaccurate assertions: In first Para of Section I, second sentence they list systems that are "At prese nt" included in the network including 700 cameras in Oakland schools, 40 automated LPRs, 35 CCTV cam eras in the city, an additional 40 cameras providing live video surveillance, and 25 red light camera s, along with feeds from CHP, CALTRANS. In the last sentence of the first Para of Section I, it states that the DAC coul d already collect, given existing networks, comprehensive information about Oakland residents. Not sure how you might convey these inaccuracies to the council members before t he meeting, but would be good if they had a more accurate idea of what the DAC is currently capa ble of after phase 1.

If you could forward on to Lynn if she is amenable to providing a third-party point of validation for the regional importa nce of the grant funds I'd also appreciate it. Thanks, Matt *** The Honorable Pat Kernighan President, Oakland City Council One Frank Ogawa Plaza, 2nd Floor Oakland, CA 94612 Dear President Kernighan: I am writing on behalf of The Marine Exchange of the San Francisco Bay Region (S FMX), a non-profit, membership organization serving the Golden Gate maritime community since 1849. SFMX representatives serve on the Area Maritime Security Committee, the Harbor Safety Committee, as well as numerous other regional forums that are focused on trade resiliency, hom eland security, and the protection and preservation of critical maritime infrastructure. In this ca pacity, the Exchange serves as the Fiduciary Agent for several of the recent Federal Emergency Manage ment Agency (FEMA) Port Security Grant Program (PSPG) rounds of funding, including Rounds 9 and 10. As part of the Region-Wide Port Strategic Risk Management/Mitigation & Port Resu mption/Resiliency Plan efforts -- a collaborative multi-agency study composed of [names of organiz ations] -- the establishment of a joint Port of Oakland/City of Oakland Domain Awareness Center (DAC) was identified as a top regional security priority. In fact, the DAC was the highe st identified priority among the FEMA PSPG grant rounds 9 and 10 submitted for funding consideration. As a m ajor intermodal transportation hub, the Port's activities and critical infrastructure intersect with activities and developments that take place on state/regional highways, transit operators (such as the Bay Area Rapid Transit), and local streets and roads, among other landside access points to the seaport. Multiple local, state and federal agencies have jurisdiction over these operatio ns and infrastructure. Combining the multiple communications and data feeds currently maintained by sev eral different agencies into one central command center will prove to be vitally important in t he event of a natural and/or man-made disaster that could impact the flow of goods, people and commerc e in the region. I understand that the Oakland City Council will be considering the acceptance of the FEMA sub-grant agreements at the July 30 Council meeting that will support the Phase II DAC imp lementation activities. On behalf of the Exchange, we support the efforts to establish the Phase II DAC operations and the integration of these multiple communications platforms so as to better s erve the operations and trade resiliency of the Port of Oakland and the region as a whole. Sincerely cc: Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Members of the Oakland City Council
