[13:21] Positive as well as the
[13:22] negative impacts of those

[13:58] For a council member in order

[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

[15:44] that allows for turnover which

[21:03] >> Around through the chair
[21:04] APRIL. 1st is typically
[21:05] department of Finance's

[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.
[24:55] >> I however, I believe

[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.

[34:37] the Slavery Era Disclosure
[34:37] ordinance. And we have one
[34:38] speaker that signed up for
[34:43] this item. Good morning, Chair
[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
[39:35] PRESIDENT Putin Abbas to
[39:36] receive and file this
[39:37] information report in
[39:37] committee on role Council.

[40:28] happen in your district.
[40:29] Distric has benefited and you
[40:32] guys have let let Bay s.
[40:35] >> Pursue things that Distric.
[40:36] Measure you was intended
[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
[40:48] address the police
[40:49] administration building. That
[40:51] has to be demolished.
[40:54] Community, Basque decided they
[40:59] wanted a new. Recreational
[41:00] center. They had already been
[41:01] approved for $700,000 for
[41:03] renovation of the Center. And
[41:05] it had the work it already,
[41:06] Stuart, they came forward with
[41:08] a raise in the money. They're
[41:12] going to do it as a community.
[41:12] They got money from They got
[41:14] money from other places. All
[41:18] of a sudden. We come up with
[41:19] given them 32 million dollars
[41:22] for a brand new recreational
[41:24] center and on the agenda fall
[41:26] areas where you going to
[41:30] reduce, you're reducing
[41:30] homelessness. You are reducing
[41:31] the about opportunity. Fall
[41:33] floor, double housing, but it
[41:37] clearly states restore
[41:38] 22 million dollars for the
[41:38] Lincoln rec Rick's
[41:43] Recreational Center. That's
[41:47] what happens too often. We
[41:48] also had police officer. You

[41:53] all of law police officers she
[41:54] put at Lake Merritt,
[41:55] unnecessary to look at black
[41:57] people's participation in
[42:01] vending over that the lake
[42:01] look at all offices over time
[42:05] and Chinatown. Look at the
[42:07] ambassador to grant that was
[42:07] given to China Tao for them to
[42:12] view. Look at the on Second
[42:14] Street that's being built by
