REGULAR MEETING June 27, 2016 311 because it immediately gets put in the system to get picked up. We are taking calls until Wednesday and we expect to be done with storm cleanup by the end of this week. Santiago Garces, Chief Innovation Officer with offices on the 12th Floor of the County -City Building, showed the Councilmembers the website which allows people to see the cleanup which the City has done from the storm in real time. The various maps show live data of where the calls are coming from and overlaid where the crews go and verify the damage. Another map showed what storm damage has been fixed by the crews as well. The map also shows what exactly the damage was caused by such as flooding or broken limbs from trees and bushes. Councilmember Dr. David Varner asked if we still have an alley rehabilitation program. Mr. Horvath responded yes we do and if someone lets the Department know we will go look at a damaged alley. Councilmember Oliver Davis thanked Mr. Horvath and the entire Department of Public Works for their work as a lot of the damage was concentrated in the Rum Village neighborhood. There were so many trees down on the southwest side of the City and its great seeing all the hard work being done to restore the City. Councilmember Davis stated he appreciates the map and it helps show exactly what the City is doing. He asked if we will be able to do this for other situations like snow storms. Mr. Garces responded yes the plan is to accommodate other types of events and make 311 more transparent with the information provided to us. Representing the City administration will be James Mueller. RESOLVE INTO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE At 7:13 p.m. Councilmember Karen White made a motion to resolve into the Committee of the Whole.
