[13:19] part of that recommendation.

[13:21] Positive as well as the

[13:22] negative impacts of those

[13:29] changes. I spoke to yesterday.

[13:29] How you a record and it needs

[13:47] will already doing abandon

[13:49] cause. And who's going to do

[13:53] that job? Just found out we're

[13:57] going to have a vacant spot.

[13:58] For a council member in order

[14:01] to do the interim. We're a

[14:02] mayor's position, but who's

[14:03] going to be representing that

[14:13] district when that person

[14:18] becomes the interim mayor. And

[14:18] requests at Finance

[14:24] to put on the agenda, the

[14:27] discussion of being a

[14:27] sanctuary city and the

[14:31] to that. You also have to put

[14:35] on your agenda being a city

[14:35] involved in gentrification not

[14:38] to yield. You don't represent

[14:40] the reason why it's happening,

[14:44] but because it's happening, we

[14:45] have been pushed out.

[14:46] African-americans. What is the

[14:50] impact of that financially? I

[14:52] would also like to recommend

[14:54] that the House and authorities

[14:58] contributions. Any financial

[14:59] component related to this

[15:01] city. The housing authority as

[15:14] a major point. Thank you for

[15:44] that allows for turnover which

[15:48] helped the merchant in a few

[15:49] neighborhoods that merchants

[15:51] are quite interested doing

[15:54] that. And if we can, courage.

[15:58] Dot to move ahead with that.

[15:59] But only in the neighborhoods

[16:02] where merchants are ready him.

[16:03] And downtown a cleaver, 2 of

[21:04] APRIL. 1st is typically

[21:13] 18th in the 20th, we'll be

[21:16] Oversight Board for approval

[21:19] for submission. The reps must

[21:19] be submitted by FEBRUARY 1st

[21:22] of each year. So that gives us

[21:24] about 2 months for the

[21:25] Department of Finance to

[21:25] provide us a response with the

[21:28] determination.

[21:29] >> Thank you. And it sounds

[21:30] like gives us a response in

[21:31] time to incorporate it into

[21:35] our forthcoming budget

[21:36] adoption for the next fiscal

[21:37] year. So I would move approval

[21:42] as amended. Thank you.

[21:43] >> So second council PRESIDENT

[21:47] Us. And we got a second and we

[21:50] have public speaker.

[21:51] >> solve all. You can come up

[22:02] to the podium. I find it

[22:02] interesting that every report

[22:06] that you. Produce for

[22:06] consideration has a race

[22:09] inequity statement. And you as

[22:14] members of the consul never

[22:15] address the statements in the

[22:16] report that reflect race

[22:18] inequity. I've never heard

[22:23] anyone go to that part of the

[22:24] report and questions about

[22:26] what is being said about race

[22:27] inequity, which is supposed to

[22:30] be this liberal city. But you

[22:30] don't talk about race

[22:34] inequity. So this one says a

[22:35] racial equity analysis has not

[22:37] been conducted and then Blake,

[22:40] that should be the end of it.

[22:44] Then they say, however. They

[22:45] do have requirements that are

[22:46] included in the small local

[22:49] business constructive program.

[22:52] >> The local small local

[22:53] business enterprise program

[22:56] and the local employment

[22:57] program not do any of those

[23:00] programs, have anything that

[23:02] deals with race and equity,

[23:03] probably equity. But I doubt

[23:08] race. So why you put it in

[23:10] it's like you trying to just

[23:10] fill in the blanks to have

[23:13] something on paper. And I say

[23:15] this again. If you write a

[23:17] report and there's nothing

[23:18] that can be said about race

[23:20] inequity. Just leave it blank.

[23:22] It should have been sufficient

[23:24] to say a racial equity

[23:24] analysis has not been

[23:30] conducted. That's it. And all

[23:31] through the day, they got one

[23:32] report what buy pot in it now

[23:32] deal with that when that

[23:36] committee meets. And stop

[23:37] using terms like buy pot,

[23:40] people of color, all

[23:45] underserved communities. All

[23:45] marginalized communities say

[23:46] Pacific Lee. What you talking

[23:51] about? Who are these groups?

[23:54] Marginalized underserved?

[23:56] Because you might not feel

[23:56] that's important, but it's

[23:59] very important to me that we

[24:00] Pacific plea deal with. Let me

[24:04] tell you something. Youve got

[24:06] 70% of them. Show you how your

[24:06] prejudice. You've got 70% of

[24:07] the homeless people on the

[24:11] street. Being black, mostly

[24:16] black man. If 70% of the homes

[24:16] on the street undocumented

[24:17] illegal immigrants would be

[24:18] running all over the place

[24:20] trying to fix a prop. And

[24:21] don't call me a lie because,

[24:21] you know, I'm telling the

[24:31] truth. That concludes

[24:32] speakers.

[24:35] >> And then we have a motion

[24:36] made by Councilmember

[24:38] Copland's seconded by council

[24:40] PRESIDENT Boss to prove as

[24:41] amended the recommendation of

[24:43] staff to port this item to the

[24:44] DECEMBER 17th City Council

[24:46] agenda on consent on will

[24:47] council PRESIDENT Or to not

[24:53] Abbas.

[24:57] meeting is where we have the

[24:58] majority of our consent

[24:59] calendar. Mean, we send it

[29:34] have our concert calendar and

[29:34] budget item. So it would be

[29:35] tracked us on this to the

[29:36] consent calendar on the 17th.

[29:37] >> Will you fix that item

[29:40] rules? Yes, well, can we were

[29:43] really voting might be. I

[29:44] believe that make it easier to

[29:45] do a revote. Make sure we send

[29:48] it to the right meeting. Okay.

[29:48] Thank you.

[29:49] >> Move approval to consent on

[29:53] the 17 second.

[29:53] >> Okay. And we have one

[29:56] speaker on this item. This all

[29:57] >> so the race equity

[30:01] statement. There are no social

[30:05] equity opportunities.

[30:08] Associated with the report.

[30:15] Social. Equity. Guy topic is

[30:17] race and equity and social

[30:18] equity can be brought up. But

[30:24] what's the race equity? They

[30:27] are no social equity. So I'm

[30:31] leery of banks. As far as the

[30:32] opportunity for equity. Me

[30:34] tell you a story about. A bank

[30:41] that we dealt with. The a thin

[30:42] trying to think of the name of

[30:44] the bank. But they had a

[30:49] relationship with. Thus the

[30:49] Spanish speaking Unity

[30:55] Council. In the national, the

[30:55] home neighbors Program home

[31:00] program. This bank had a Wells

[31:01] Fargo is the bank. Wells

[31:04] Fargo. Wells Fargo was trying

[31:06] to make up for the redlining

[31:07] that they had been involved

[31:10] with. And what partnership

[31:14] with Spanish speaking Unity

[31:15] Council and Neighborhood

[31:20] Works. America provide

[31:20] first-time homeowners an

[31:21] opportunity to be have

[31:28] ownership of a home. 99% of

[31:28] the people that got homes

[31:30] through this. Partnership.

[31:36] Will Latinos. And very few

[31:37] blacks got any home ownership

[31:41] opportunities. And so the

[31:42] Spanish speaking community

[31:42] Council do what they do. They

[31:44] look out for people. But

[31:46] somebody should have been

[31:47] looking at.

[31:47] >> And they even y'all even

[31:52] brought a y'all brought all

[31:52] new homeowners who so that's I

[31:54] know it was not would lead to

[31:54] use, but they filled up the

[31:55] room would lead to, you know,

[31:57] saying these were the people

[31:57] that

[31:58] >> got new opportunities to be

[32:14] homeowners. So you've got.

[34:44] Jenkins and committee members,

[34:45] Amos or herbal. Assistant to

[34:47] the director of finance.

[34:48] >> Today I bring to you and

[34:49] information report is the

[34:51] annual implementation report.

[34:51] Honestly, really slavery.

[34:53] You're a disclosure ordinance.

[34:55] The original ordinance was

[34:57] passed in 2005 and a

[34:58] resolution reaffirming it and

[34:58] adding additional requirements

[35:01] was passed in 2020. The

[35:02] Slavery Era Disclosure

[35:03] ordinance applies to vendors

[35:05] in the city in financial and

[35:06] insurance services in a

[35:08] textile to back railroad

[35:10] shipping rice and sugar

[35:11] industries. It requires them

[35:12] to disclose information about

[35:15] their businesses. Records of

[35:15] profits from slavery or slave

[35:18] holder insurance policies on a

[35:19] disclosure. Affidavit schedule

[35:25] s. It also established a fund.

[35:27] 24 22 is the slavery or

[35:27] Disclosure Fund which has

[35:28] subsequently been renamed the

[35:30] Buckner Deal Fund to receive

[35:31] voluntary contributions from

[35:33] these business entities.

[35:34] Information about making

[35:35] contributions to the fund is

[35:36] provided on the schedule

[35:38] affidavit. The ordinance has

[35:40] been fully implemented and

[35:42] information pertaining to the

[35:43] ordinance is available on the

[35:44] city's website which holds the

[35:45] legislation reports

[35:46] disclosures received to date.

[35:49] The ordinance and resolution

[35:50] and implementation. Each

[35:53] require annual reports since

[35:54] OCTOBER 2023. When the last

[35:55] annual implementation report

[35:56] was presented to City Council.

[35:58] One additional disclosure has

[36:00] been received from U.S. Bank

[36:01] to date. There have not been

[36:02] any donations to the fund. I'm

[36:11] happy to answer any questions.

[36:11] >> So outside of U.S. Bank.

[36:13] Has anyone else disclosed?

[36:14] >> No, we haven't had any of

[36:16] those. Was that that was

[36:21] previously believed.

[36:21] >> Have they made any

[36:22] contributions to cities

[36:24] outside of Oakland? I don't

[36:29] know that information. Okay.

[36:32] If we can get that information

[36:34] back, that be great. It's all

[36:34] the time we but as we're

[36:35] renewing contracts with U.S.

[36:39] Bank. We offer them I do want

[36:43] to clarify. Other people have.

[36:44] >> Provided disclosures over

[36:44] time. But since the last

[36:45] report, the only new one is

[36:47] U.S. Bank. Thank you.

[36:52] Entertain a motion.

[36:53] >> second, that's a public

[36:54] speaker.

[37:07] >> This is not all of So.

[37:08] Affected all this. The first

[37:12] 20 '05. This ordinance went

[37:15] into effect. And 2020 used.

[37:19] The word reaffirmed. Which you

[37:19] really want to see an English

[37:23] terms. You didn't do nothing.

[37:24] And so in Twenty-twenty you

[37:24] stepped up to really put it in

[37:32] place. Got. I can tell you is

[37:34] to Jenkins that San Francisco

[37:34] has had in place for quite

[37:40] some time. 0 collection. No

[37:41] money has ever been collected

[37:44] in San Francisco related to

[37:44] this item. So we can't get no

[37:47] money this week. But we can

[37:52] get reparations. And what's so

[37:52] disappointing is related to

[37:56] slavery. You had something on

[37:57] the ballot. I think it was

[37:58] called propositions 6 that

[38:03] would have ended slavery. And

[38:03] involuntary servitude and I'll

[38:06] prison system. I thought this

[38:06] is going to be easy. One. It

[38:11] didn't pay us. It didn't pass

[38:12] people who live in California

[38:15] say it's all right. For a

[38:16] person who is in prison to be

[38:20] identified as a slave. That's

[38:20] what the 13 amendment of the

[38:22] Constitution says, too. It

[38:24] didn't count it didn't in

[38:26] slavery. It redefined slavery.

[38:29] You are not a slave except in

[38:30] the case that you are put in a

[38:31] prison. Then you become a

[38:36] silly. That's this country.

[38:39] And you forced to work and

[38:40] many of these probes is awful

[38:43] for profit prisons. The labor

[38:46] produced by these slaves.

[38:50] Creates capital gains for the

[38:51] people who owns these prisons.

[38:51] That's what we all in this

[38:55] country. We have slavery. We

[38:57] also have in California

[39:00] proposition 209. This is we

[39:01] cannot have affirmative action

[39:04] now. Jumping all over Trump

[39:05] with what he's going to be

[39:05] doing. But look at what you

[39:07] do. Look what you do in this

[39:22] city.

[39:24] >> Thank you. And then threw

[39:25] the chair to Councilmember

[39:26] Kaplan. Is this a motion to

[39:26] receive and file this item in

[39:31] committee? So that was a

[39:33] motion made by Councilmember

[39:34] Kaplan, seconded council

[40:39] mainly to be used.

[40:42] >> 4 affordable housing. I was

[40:44] housing for the homeless.

[40:46] >> And it could be used to

[40:51] has to be demolished.
