Subject: Protests 8/25 - 9/3
So I think that I have spoken to most of you about the possibility of increased levels of social protests in the coming weeks, but I thought that I would follow up with an email so you
have all the information that I do. The City is planning on increased frequency and size of protests between 8/25 to 9/3 if the County determines to press charges against Tianna Arata.
If you are not familiar with Tianna Arata from the news, here is a link to an article from the Tribune: <https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article244880627.html> https://www.sanluisobispo.c
om/news/local/article244880627.html
These are the planned protests that PD is currently monitoring:
* 8/25 - freeTianna.Com - hold a press conference - no details yet
* 8/29 - take back slo is planning a march
* 8/31 - skate against hate - Mitchel Park to Skate Park
* 9/3 – Tianna Arata’s planned arraignment date
Currently we are preparing for protests that are of a similar size to the largest NAACP rally. We are anticipating that these events will likely including marching on City Streets and
occupying intersections. To prepare the City is working with the County on the following items:
Fire:
* Is preparing an Incident Action Plan for the operational period of 8/25 to 9/3.
* Identify unified command structure that clearly define roles and responsibility for:
* Freeway
* Courthouse
* Streets
PD:
* Continuing to monitor social media to obtain information on upcoming planned protests
* Working with known organizers of protests to obtain information.
Administration:
* Communications Plan and Resources
Public Works
* Updating NAACP Traffic Control plan
* Stock piling unused water barricades for implementation as necessary during operational period
* Parking - develop contingency plan to close parking structures if needed and assist with clearing parked vehicles from Traffic Control Areas
* Transit – develop contingency plan to reroute transit service based upon traffic control and rally needs
* Urban Forest – ensure all placed water barricades have been refilled to maximum capacity
* Parks Maintenance and Streets Maintenance – develop a list of staff that are willing to assist with traffic control and crowd management on event days
* Transportation – review previous traffic control plans and make any necessary adjustment for future implementation by Streets Maintenance. Be available during events to aid as needed.
* As a department we need to be able to provide up to the following resources during the operational period (hopefully this level is not required but we are planning on it):
o 21 field staff
o 18 trucks
o 5 operations staff for circulation, parking, and transit
Let me know what we are missing, and I appreciate all your continued professionalism and support during the pandemic, heat wave, fires, rolling blackout, economic crisis, etc.
