Some of the Staff training includes emergency drills. ACE is hosting a drill in October and participating in a statewide drill this November. These exercises test employees and response plans. Based on the results, modifications are made to enhance the effectiveness of plans and Staff response. CAMERA UPDATE: A representative from Homeland Security is meeting with me on July 26th, 2007 to go over paperwork requesting funds for a new station security camera system. The goal of this meeting is to review paperwork for grant requests prior to our deadline and to show the ACE system to our partners at Homeland Security. GREAT AMERICA PARKING CITATIONS: I want to thank all of those who contacted me regarding parking citations that were received at Great America the week of June 11th. As I’d mentioned before, all of the citation information has been forwarded to Santa Clara Police. When a parking cite is dismissed, Santa Clara PD does so by sending a request via fax directly to the parking vendor. It’s done automatically and no notice is sent to the passengers. Santa Clara PD keeps a copy of the dismissal in the event the passenger goes to register their vehicle and the violation is still listed. To date they haven’t had this occur. As a reminder, please do not leave vehicles in ACE parking lots for more that 48 hours. If you need to park more than 48 hours, notify ACE with a description of the vehicle. I welcome your Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions! Steven S. Walker Systems and Facilities Security Coordinator 209.944.6256 (Office) ********************************************************************** Important Parking Announcements ********************************************************************** For those ACE passengers who park at the Stockton, Lathrop/Manteca, and Tracy stations, please review the following important announcement.

The trains coming back at night will be running 5-7 minutes late. This is due to the fact that they will be running on single track from Pleasanton to the new BART Station just past Pleasanton. We will do everything possible to insure that everyone makes their connections. According to BART, these new times will be on the new BART schedules in January. This will be in effect until late 2009 until the new station is complete.
