Why did AMP give $2.8 Million in surplus to the City of Alameda, if it has forced AMP to resorting to using Duct Tape for these type of repairs?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
This port cover has been secured.

Ms. King ma'am,

I'm not sure if you saw my previous photo above, but the port cover is still missing. There is only masking tape and green paint over the port.

Is masking tape and green paint (a six month solution), actually acceptable in this situation?

There should be a back stock of these covers at the ready for when they go missing. Tape and paint is a temporary solution at best. It may have been secured but this should not be closed until the proper cover has been placed.

I agree, this shouldn't be closed. Tape looks tacky and doesn't provide the security and safety of a metal cover. At least it isn't like in Oakland where I've seen homeless people stealing power from the wires in lamp post bases by removing insulation from the wires and splicing in an extension cord.

When I see this and the condition of the streetlights, I wonder about the parts of the AMP system that we do not see.

Ms. King ma'am,

I didn't receive an answer from you, regarding my question from yesterday:

Is masking tape and green paint (possibly only a six month solution), actually acceptable in this situation?

This issue was recategorized from Alameda Municipal Power - Other to Streetlight and Park Pathway Lighting.
