Resident asks about drones; staff says city will use Fire Score AI for brush clearance and inspected Avocado Crest drainage
Loading...
Summary
A resident asked whether drones would be used for street work; staff said drones are not planned for streets but the city is contracting Fire Score AI (satellite and some drone use) for brush clearance in canyon areas. Staff also reported Avocado Crest repairs appear to be working after recent rains with only minor ponding at one spot.
A resident asked whether the city or contractors were starting to use drones for street activities or other lower‑cost options. Staff member replied that drones are not being used for street work but said the city is signing contracts and moving forward with Fire Score AI, which will use satellite sensor data and some drone work for brush‑clearance activities in outer canyon areas.
A committee member raised the Avocado Crest runoff work and asked whether staff had inspected the repairs after recent rains. Staff said they had monitored the area and that runoff management appears to be performing better than before, though there is "one little area where it may be slightly lower" and "it ponds a little bit." The committee did not take formal action and asked staff to continue monitoring.
No votes were held on either item; both were discussed under non‑agenda or other business.
