00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:30,402
number 3, which is

68
00:13:30,402 --> 00:13:32,802
modifications to the agenda

69
00:13:33,772 --> 00:13:36,772
and procedural items. Yes, I

70
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:38,977
have we want in order. 5.6 to

71
00:13:38,977 --> 00:13:42,577
be the first item heard after

72
00:13:48,820 --> 00:13:51,220
that. By 0.2 After that 5.7

73
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:52,957
And then we want to move 4.6

74
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:55,957
after 5.5 So that'll be the

75
00:13:57,196 --> 00:13:59,264
last item heard on 9 consent.

76
00:13:59,264 --> 00:14:01,499
And then also I want remove

77
00:14:01,499 --> 00:14:02,166
6.5 from the consent calendar.

78
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:05,766
And I'll need a second for

79
00:14:07,905 --> 00:14:10,776
that. And so 6.5 will be on

80
00:14:10,776 --> 00:14:13,176
the regular agenda and 6.5

81
00:14:14,646 --> 00:14:17,460
will be heard after 5.5 5.5

82
00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:18,516
4.6 So a state that again,

83
00:14:18,516 --> 00:14:20,916
because this is very

84
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:24,219
confusing. By 0.6 will be

85
00:14:31,262 --> 00:14:33,465
heard. First. Then 5.2 5.7 Dan

86
00:14:33,465 --> 00:14:37,650

00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
After that, we will hear 5.0,

88
00:14:47,645 --> 00:14:48,346
5, 6.5 4.6 Thank you. Now the

89
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:50,746
Gad will come after 5.6, 5.2

90
00:14:56,821 --> 00:14:59,821
5.7 The first time will be 5.6

91
00:14:59,824 --> 00:15:00,559
Thank you for that Clarity

92
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:01,160
Council. PRESIDENT Jenkins. We

93
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160
are moving to our first

94
00:15:04,662 --> 00:15:06,297
councilmember Houston. Put a

95
00:15:06,297 --> 00:15:07,265
chair. I have had some

96
00:15:07,265 --> 00:15:09,665
questions for city attorney

97
00:15:12,771 --> 00:15:14,771
about. Reconsideration about

98
00:15:14,806 --> 00:15:15,674
this charter. And I know that

99
00:15:15,674 --> 00:15:16,374
that is already past. But this

100
00:15:16,374 --> 00:15:18,643
is the time that we can speak

101
00:15:18,643 --> 00:15:21,212
about it because I wasn't too

102
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:24,812
happy with the piece of the

103
00:15:24,849 --> 00:15:25,985
veto that it already been

104
00:15:25,985 --> 00:15:26,918
vetted through the city

105
00:15:26,918 --> 00:15:27,853
attorney's office that that

106
00:15:27,853 --> 00:15:30,422
that veto that veto piece

107
00:15:30,422 --> 00:15:32,590
right rubs me the wrong way.

108
00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:33,324
And what I mean by that,

109
00:15:33,324 --> 00:15:34,459
PRESIDENT Is that I had

110
00:15:34,459 --> 00:15:36,859
questions for the city

111
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:41,100
attorney. Is that if we have a

112
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:42,000
council members appear. A

113
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400
council members that decide

114
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:51,406
to. Both something up. How

115
00:15:51,810 --> 00:15:53,679
can? One person come in and

116
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,279
veto our decision that rubs me

117
00:15:58,217 --> 00:15:58,950
the wrong way because I was

118
00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:01,950
elected by my constituents and

119
00:16:03,870 --> 00:16:06,525
I swore. To stand up for them

120
00:16:06,525 --> 00:16:08,160
that's my voice. But is their

121
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,994
voice just like every other

122
00:16:09,994 --> 00:16:12,830
councilmember appear. So I had

123
00:16:12,830 --> 00:16:13,598
a question about PRESIDENT. So

124
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:14,299
do you have somebody on the

125
00:16:14,299 --> 00:16:17,299
prevailing side of the issue

126
00:16:17,502 --> 00:16:18,303
that is willing to? Somebody

127
00:16:18,303 --> 00:16:18,971
on the prevailing side that's

128
00:16:18,971 --> 00:16:22,474
willing to have a motion to

129
00:16:22,474 --> 00:16:24,874
reconsider. Spoke to council

130
00:16:25,677 --> 00:16:26,277
member Wayne, but I had some

131
00:16:26,277 --> 00:16:28,180
questions with the city

132
00:16:28,180 --> 00:16:30,783
attorney before we could if it

133
00:16:30,783 --> 00:16:32,785
was ready to reconsider that.

134
00:16:32,785 --> 00:16:33,485
So I wanted to ask the city

135
00:16:33,485 --> 00:16:35,885
attorney a couple questions.

136
00:16:37,723 --> 00:16:38,324
Is that possible PRESIDENT? If

137
00:16:38,324 --> 00:16:40,224
you don't know what I'm

138
00:16:40,224 --> 00:16:43,224
talking about? Asked me. Do

139
00:16:44,620 --> 00:16:45,363
you know 3 does? You know what

140
00:16:45,363 --> 00:16:46,264
item 3, so let's let's focus

141
00:16:46,264 --> 00:16:49,264
on that conversation with the

142
00:16:51,303 --> 00:16:52,170
city ok? City attorney. So I

143
00:16:52,170 --> 00:16:54,380
wanted to know about because

144
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:56,700
this is item 3. This is called

145
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:57,109
modification. So reach your

146
00:16:57,109 --> 00:16:57,742
agenda. It's called

147
00:16:57,742 --> 00:16:59,430
modification and you can

148
00:16:59,430 --> 00:17:02,430
modify at this point. So

149
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,515
that's what I'm doing. So I

150
00:17:04,515 --> 00:17:07,219
wanted to actually talk to the

151
00:17:07,219 --> 00:17:08,921
city attorney because of I

152
00:17:08,921 --> 00:17:11,921
brought some revisions up for

153
00:17:14,126 --> 00:17:15,940
this charter. It went dead. It

154
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:17,195
was headed to the city

155
00:17:17,195 --> 00:17:17,997
attorney's office. So in the

156
00:17:17,997 --> 00:17:18,731
modification stage, which is

157
00:17:18,731 --> 00:17:21,131
right now a reconsideration

158
00:17:21,867 --> 00:17:24,802
can be made. Wanted to know

159
00:17:24,802 --> 00:17:25,504
with that Hold this back

160
00:17:25,504 --> 00:17:27,904
because council member Wayne

161
00:17:32,177 --> 00:17:32,877
can. Change her Vogt are

162
00:17:32,877 --> 00:17:33,578
reconsider so we can address

163
00:17:33,578 --> 00:17:37,178
this veto piece that rubs me

164
00:17:37,315 --> 00:17:37,983
the wrong way. So through the

165
00:17:37,983 --> 00:17:40,383
chair to councilmember, he

166
00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:44,952
said I can reach your council

167
00:17:45,223 --> 00:17:46,557
rules rule 8, 7, which says

168
00:17:46,557 --> 00:17:47,258
during members request for

169
00:17:47,258 --> 00:17:48,694
reconsideration, the council

170
00:17:48,694 --> 00:17:50,461
member who voted on the

171
00:17:50,461 --> 00:17:51,950
prevailing side of a motion or

172
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:53,164
other action taken at the

173
00:17:53,164 --> 00:17:55,164
immediately preceding council

174
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,669
meeting, a move that item for

175
00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:59,138
reconsideration. If the motion

176
00:17:59,138 --> 00:18:00,772
is second in and at least 5

177
00:18:00,772 --> 00:18:01,841
council members would in favor

178
00:18:01,841 --> 00:18:02,674
of the motion by shall be

179
00:18:02,674 --> 00:18:04,743
placed on the agenda for the

180
00:18:04,743 --> 00:18:08,343
next city Council meeting as a

181
00:18:08,813 --> 00:18:09,548
non consent. It. Sobel with

182
00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:13,748
that. Throw it off by being on

183
00:18:15,587 --> 00:18:16,654
the ballot. So it to request

184
00:18:16,654 --> 00:18:19,624
yours. Think your question is

185
00:18:19,624 --> 00:18:22,624
a scheduling questions? So I

186
00:18:22,961 --> 00:18:24,963
there was a successful motion

187
00:18:24,963 --> 00:18:25,630
to reconsider and item that

188
00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:26,497
was acted upon at the last

189
00:18:26,497 --> 00:18:30,970
meeting. It would go on your

190
00:18:30,468 --> 00:18:31,135
next council meeting your next

191
00:18:31,135 --> 00:18:33,135
regularly scheduled council

192
00:18:34,706 --> 00:18:36,741
meeting is JULY 21st. And

193
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:37,475
that's though only other

194
00:18:37,475 --> 00:18:38,176
council meeting scheduled

195
00:18:38,176 --> 00:18:41,113
before all materials would be

196
00:18:41,113 --> 00:18:44,650
due to the county and we also,

197
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:48,250
as you'll see on this agenda,

198
00:18:48,653 --> 00:18:49,522
have a on ordinance to request

199
00:18:49,522 --> 00:18:50,188
consolidation with the

200
00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:52,588
statewide election. So all

201
00:18:53,224 --> 00:18:55,930
actions related to ballot

202
00:18:55,930 --> 00:18:57,729
measures need to be adopted

203
00:18:57,729 --> 00:18:58,429
and there needs to be 2

204
00:18:58,429 --> 00:19:01,429
meetings, 2 it to pass that

205
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,340
consolidation ordinance. Ok,

206
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:04,200
one last question to the

207
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,202
chair. So it had to be waning.

208
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Jenkins. 5 are Gallo. So why

209
00:19:13,112 --> 00:19:13,945
are we spoke to weighing about

210
00:19:13,945 --> 00:19:16,849
it because we had a

211
00:19:16,849 --> 00:19:19,249
conversation about that veto

212
00:19:20,510 --> 00:19:20,986
peas and I didn't talk to the

213
00:19:20,986 --> 00:19:21,586
other council members about So

214
00:19:21,586 --> 00:19:23,210
be up to you. If that's

215
00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:23,721
something that you wanted to

216
00:19:23,721 --> 00:19:26,721
speak on to reconsider about

217
00:19:30,863 --> 00:19:31,864
this veto peace. It's so new.

218
00:19:31,864 --> 00:19:33,231
I can respond to that. I am I

219
00:19:33,231 --> 00:19:35,266
I spoke extensively City

220
00:19:35,266 --> 00:19:37,666
Attorney Richardson about what

221
00:19:39,337 --> 00:19:40,380
it would look like to do the

222
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:41,806
reconsideration. And I think

223
00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:42,541
the technical term is hot mess

224
00:19:42,541 --> 00:19:45,543
is what it would look like. So

225
00:19:45,543 --> 00:19:49,140
I'm going to I'm not going to

226
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:49,714
move motion to do the

227
00:19:49,714 --> 00:19:50,715
reconsideration. Okay. South

228
00:19:50,715 --> 00:19:51,349
to the chair. Thank you for

229
00:19:51,349 --> 00:19:54,520
that. So I'm just let you

230
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,452
know. Each council member

231
00:19:56,988 --> 00:20:00,588
here. Let you know that. If

232
00:20:01,727 --> 00:20:02,360
that does pass. Your

233
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,760
constituents voted you in

234
00:20:06,598 --> 00:20:08,199
office. It can be. And you

235
00:20:08,199 --> 00:20:09,330
say, yes, it could be knocked

236
00:20:09,330 --> 00:20:12,203
off. Just want to let you know

237
00:20:12,203 --> 00:20:14,373
that. And your vote. Your vote

238
00:20:14,373 --> 00:20:17,776
can be vetoed. So I just let

239
00:20:17,776 --> 00:20:18,476
you know what you're standing

240
00:20:18,476 --> 00:20:19,612
up against and already talked

241
00:20:19,612 --> 00:20:22,947
to from a China about it.

242
00:20:22,947 --> 00:20:26,684
Unger about it and me. So got

243
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:29,870
one more question to chair.

244
00:20:29,870 --> 00:20:29,721
That made a whole lot of sense

245
00:20:29,721 --> 00:20:31,289
in someone certain things

246
00:20:31,289 --> 00:20:33,689
resonate with me. They

247
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:36,362
resonate and council member of

248
00:20:36,362 --> 00:20:37,280
the you don't have to speak.

249
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,162
As you a question, you said

250
00:20:38,162 --> 00:20:38,864
something other day that

251
00:20:38,864 --> 00:20:41,264
really resonate against with

252
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:43,168
me stated about your

253
00:20:43,168 --> 00:20:45,136
constituents. Why would you

254
00:20:45,136 --> 00:20:47,305
they put us in office to speak

255
00:20:47,305 --> 00:20:49,207
for them. And what would you

256
00:20:49,207 --> 00:20:50,409
put something in front of

257
00:20:50,409 --> 00:20:52,178
constituents when they depend

258
00:20:52,178 --> 00:20:52,877
on us to make the right

259
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:53,544
decision? Can repeat that if

260
00:20:53,544 --> 00:20:57,144
you want to have enough for

261
00:20:57,683 --> 00:21:00,286
Sunday? I think I was I was

262
00:21:00,286 --> 00:21:01,352
just saying that I was voting.

263
00:21:01,352 --> 00:21:02,221
I voted against the strong

264
00:21:02,221 --> 00:21:04,290
mayor because I believe that

265
00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:06,257
strong council was the

266
00:21:06,257 --> 00:21:09,257
superior system. And I wanted

267
00:21:10,461 --> 00:21:11,163
voters too. Have a chance to

268
00:21:11,163 --> 00:21:12,765
vote on Strong Council. If it

269
00:21:12,765 --> 00:21:13,431
came to that I'm not

270
00:21:13,431 --> 00:21:14,132
supporting strong mayor. So

271
00:21:14,132 --> 00:21:17,936
that was why I didn't put it

272
00:21:17,936 --> 00:21:18,636
forward to the bout. Thank

273
00:21:18,636 --> 00:21:20,705
you. Councilmember. So to to

274
00:21:20,705 --> 00:21:22,674
to CHAIRMAN Say it is so now

275
00:21:22,674 --> 00:21:25,740
that other council members

276
00:21:26,377 --> 00:21:27,379
that voted for it. Notice

277
00:21:27,379 --> 00:21:29,480
situation. You have a chance

278
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:29,948
right now to do what you

279
00:21:29,948 --> 00:21:33,548
should do if you don't. We've

280
00:21:34,252 --> 00:21:37,852
got to deal with. So thank

00:21:42,461 --> 00:21:45,461

00:21:55,340 --> 00:21:56,750
keeping it on consent. But

287
00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:59,750

288
00:22:03,781 --> 00:22:06,151

00:24:33,365 --> 00:24:36,365
Mayor. Thank you very much.

352
00:24:38,469 --> 00:24:40,639
Good afternoon. Before you

353
00:24:40,639 --> 00:24:42,407
today, Council members is a

354
00:24:42,407 --> 00:24:43,108
resolution confirming my

355
00:24:43,108 --> 00:24:44,576
appointment abets the lake as

356
00:24:44,576 --> 00:24:46,576
interim city administrator.

357
00:24:47,379 --> 00:24:48,379
And I want to focus on why the

358
00:24:48,379 --> 00:24:51,379
timing of this action matters

359
00:24:52,483 --> 00:24:53,850
for the city's operations.

360
00:24:53,850 --> 00:24:54,118
Council action today is

361
00:24:54,118 --> 00:24:56,518
absolutely necessary to ensure

362
00:24:57,889 --> 00:24:58,957
that there's no gap in an

363
00:24:58,957 --> 00:25:00,957
administrative authority. The

364
00:25:01,927 --> 00:25:02,994
former city administrator is

365
00:25:02,994 --> 00:25:05,296
leave expires on JULY 15th and

366
00:25:05,296 --> 00:25:07,533
the charter requires us to

367
00:25:07,533 --> 00:25:10,202
have a confirmed interim city

368
00:25:10,202 --> 00:25:11,470
administrator to execute a

369
00:25:11,470 --> 00:25:12,136
variety of administrative

370
00:25:12,136 --> 00:25:15,136
functions to keep the city

371
00:25:15,608 --> 00:25:16,808
operations running. This

372
00:25:16,808 --> 00:25:18,244
timing is set, especially

373
00:25:18,244 --> 00:25:21,244
important right now because of

374
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:24,447
what's on today's agenda.

375
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:26,719
You'll also be reviewing and

376
00:25:26,719 --> 00:25:29,119
related resolution. I believe

377
00:25:30,222 --> 00:25:32,622
us item 5.1 authorizing the

378
00:25:32,724 --> 00:25:33,525
city administrator and the

379
00:25:33,525 --> 00:25:35,925
finance director to execute

380
00:25:36,427 --> 00:25:38,229
the documents needed to

381
00:25:38,229 --> 00:25:40,299
complete the city's tax and

382
00:25:40,299 --> 00:25:42,299
revenue anticipation notes,

383
00:25:42,867 --> 00:25:44,836
financing. This cannot be done

384
00:25:44,836 --> 00:25:46,704
by an acting city

385
00:25:46,704 --> 00:25:48,774
administrator. This is a

386
00:25:48,774 --> 00:25:50,774
critical time, sensitive

387
00:25:51,276 --> 00:25:54,450
financing tool that the city

388
00:25:54,450 --> 00:25:55,480
relies on for cash flow

389
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,480
management confirming the

390
00:25:58,349 --> 00:25:59,500
interim city administrator at

391
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:01,719
the same meeting removes any

392
00:26:01,719 --> 00:26:02,421
ambiguity about who holds

393
00:26:02,421 --> 00:26:04,421
execution authority during

394
00:26:06,125 --> 00:26:07,292
that financing process. We do

395
00:26:07,292 --> 00:26:09,662
not want a lapse in leadership

396
00:26:09,662 --> 00:26:10,763
to create uncertainty at the

397
00:26:10,763 --> 00:26:13,898
exact moment that the city is

398
00:26:13,898 --> 00:26:14,466
completing this financing.

399
00:26:14,466 --> 00:26:16,466
Acting today protects

400
00:26:17,902 --> 00:26:19,300
continuity of operations and

401
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:21,730
the city's fiscal position

402
00:26:21,730 --> 00:26:22,808
protecting the estimated

403
00:26:22,808 --> 00:26:24,842
750,000 and savings to the

404
00:26:24,842 --> 00:26:26,912
city. I also want to be clear

405
00:26:26,912 --> 00:26:27,712
that this interim appointment

406
00:26:27,712 --> 00:26:30,712
is formality, not a substitute

407
00:26:31,216 --> 00:26:33,485
for a permanent hire. My

408
00:26:33,485 --> 00:26:34,519
office is already engaging a

409
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:35,987
search firm and several search

410
00:26:35,987 --> 00:26:38,220
firms actually to run a

411
00:26:38,220 --> 00:26:40,220
thorough, competitive national

412
00:26:40,858 --> 00:26:42,729
search for a permanent city

413
00:26:42,729 --> 00:26:43,629
administrator. We are

414
00:26:43,629 --> 00:26:46,290
committed to identifying the

415
00:26:47,732 --> 00:26:48,267
strongest possible candidates

416
00:26:48,267 --> 00:26:48,968
to lead the city's

417
00:26:48,968 --> 00:26:50,968
administrative operations for

418
00:26:51,737 --> 00:26:52,738
the long term. And we will

419
00:26:52,738 --> 00:26:53,973
keep the council updated on

420
00:26:53,973 --> 00:26:56,973
that process and timeline as

421
00:26:58,143 --> 00:27:00,543
it progresses. Betsy Lakes,

422
00:27:01,146 --> 00:27:01,814
deep familiarity was city

423
00:27:01,814 --> 00:27:03,282
operations, including as an

424
00:27:03,282 --> 00:27:05,217
attorney over 20 years and

425
00:27:05,217 --> 00:27:07,287
serving more than 8 years in

426
00:27:07,287 --> 00:27:07,919
the city administrator's

427
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:09,755
office. Most recently as

428
00:27:09,755 --> 00:27:12,123
acting City administrator and

429
00:27:12,123 --> 00:27:14,123
assistant city administrator

430
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,162
makes her well positioned to

431
00:27:17,162 --> 00:27:18,730
maintain continuity during

432
00:27:18,730 --> 00:27:19,466
this period. But the court

433
00:27:19,466 --> 00:27:21,866
reason for bringing this

434
00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,370
forward today is operational.

435
00:27:24,370 --> 00:27:26,370
Interrupted in administrative

436
00:27:27,273 --> 00:27:29,240
authority and certainty around

437
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,975
execution authority for the

438
00:27:29,975 --> 00:27:32,375
city's tax and revenue

439
00:27:33,178 --> 00:27:34,460
anticipation notes, financing.

440
00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:36,480
It would be fiscally

441
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,251
irresponsible very harmful to

442
00:27:38,251 --> 00:27:41,954
the city for us not to make

443
00:27:41,954 --> 00:27:42,655
this appointment today. We

444
00:27:42,655 --> 00:27:43,290
respectfully recommended the

445
00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:43,989
council adopt the attacks

446
00:27:43,989 --> 00:27:46,389
resolution. Thank you again.

447
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:49,561
Thank you. MADAM Mayor. I

448
00:27:49,561 --> 00:27:50,663
mean, because we have in this

449
00:27:50,663 --> 00:27:51,330
we have 2 speakers for this go

450
00:27:51,330 --> 00:27:52,640
to the public speakers and

451
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,640
then we'll go to councilmember

452
00:27:55,301 --> 00:27:57,569
septa that. Right? I have will

453
00:27:57,569 --> 00:28:01,169
of Allah in Gene Hazard for

454
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:09,915
item. 5.6 Thank you. If I can.

455
00:28:09,915 --> 00:28:12,315
PRESIDENT Jenkins. Can't ask

456
00:28:13,850 --> 00:28:15,485
where their charter. That

457
00:28:15,921 --> 00:28:18,321
there's a provision that

458
00:28:18,691 --> 00:28:22,291
allows floor and in the room.

459
00:28:25,764 --> 00:28:26,966
In this position the if they

460
00:28:26,966 --> 00:28:29,366
could answer that question.

461
00:28:33,806 --> 00:28:34,406
Okay. We pause this time. To

462
00:28:34,406 --> 00:28:35,600
the city attorney. You

463
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,406
prepared to answer the

464
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,644
question or do we need The

465
00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:45,951
church to the to the chair? Is

466
00:28:45,951 --> 00:28:47,860
that the state tournament? Yes

467
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:50,686
to the chair, right of city

468
00:28:52,259 --> 00:28:54,193
attorney. So the charter

469
00:28:54,193 --> 00:28:55,261
provides for 2 types people

470
00:28:55,261 --> 00:28:56,161
serve a city administrator.

471
00:28:56,161 --> 00:28:56,762
One is a city that's just the

472
00:28:56,762 --> 00:28:58,664
city administrator was

473
00:28:58,664 --> 00:29:01,664
appointed by the mayor and

474
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:03,636
confirmed by council and the

475
00:29:03,636 --> 00:29:04,303
other is acting city

476
00:29:04,303 --> 00:29:05,500
administrator, which means

477
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,705
there is somebody there is a

478
00:29:06,705 --> 00:29:08,240
city administrator has been

479
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,308
appointed, but for one reason

480
00:29:09,308 --> 00:29:11,310
or another isn't available and

481
00:29:11,310 --> 00:29:14,310
is acting in that person's

482
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:17,517
behalf. To MR. Hazzard

483
00:29:17,517 --> 00:29:19,917
question. This is appointment

484
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,856
for a city administrator under

485
00:29:23,856 --> 00:29:24,591
the charter. The interim part

486
00:29:24,591 --> 00:29:27,793
is is in the short-term nature

487
00:29:27,793 --> 00:29:30,193
of the employment agreement.

488
00:29:31,729 --> 00:29:32,398
And in the mayor's. Public

489
00:29:32,398 --> 00:29:34,365
commitment that she's doing

490
00:29:34,365 --> 00:29:35,801
search for a permanent city

491
00:29:35,801 --> 00:29:36,402
administrator. But there is no

492
00:29:36,402 --> 00:29:37,902
there's no interim city

493
00:29:37,902 --> 00:29:40,302
administrator is not it

494
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,572
designation in the charter. It

495
00:29:45,343 --> 00:29:46,110
is would an appointment as a

496
00:29:46,110 --> 00:29:47,313
city administrator with the

497
00:29:47,313 --> 00:29:48,647
understanding from the mayor's

498
00:29:48,647 --> 00:29:50,820
office and the council that it

499
00:29:50,820 --> 00:29:50,783
is temporary. While the mayor

500
00:29:50,783 --> 00:29:53,510
searches for a permanent city

501
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:55,510
administrator. Please start

502
00:29:57,623 --> 00:29:59,758
that. I'm back it. So you

503
00:29:59,758 --> 00:30:02,393
can't act on this today

504
00:30:02,393 --> 00:30:04,960
because no provision in this

505
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,496
city charter 502, that has

506
00:30:09,901 --> 00:30:12,104
any. Definition of interim.

507
00:30:12,104 --> 00:30:15,704
It's no such thing in the

508
00:30:16,750 --> 00:30:18,876
charter. So how can you move

509
00:30:18,876 --> 00:30:19,544
on this at if there's nothing

510
00:30:19,544 --> 00:30:21,944
charted that describes the

511
00:30:22,581 --> 00:30:24,490
recommendations that before It

512
00:30:24,490 --> 00:30:26,584
only has an acting city

513
00:30:26,584 --> 00:30:28,584
administrative. You just

514
00:30:28,587 --> 00:30:30,155
previously Councilmember

515
00:30:30,155 --> 00:30:32,155
Houston asked clarification

516
00:30:36,361 --> 00:30:37,960
and they Taking your time is

517
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,630
up, MR. Hazzard, thank you for

518
00:30:39,630 --> 00:30:41,630
your time.

519
00:30:43,301 --> 00:30:46,901
Thank you so much for your

520
00:30:47,606 --> 00:30:50,600
comments. Welcome MISS Ida.

521
00:30:50,175 --> 00:30:53,175
Thank you. MADAM Clinton, the

522
00:30:53,345 --> 00:30:56,345
language is confusion. I don't

523
00:30:56,382 --> 00:30:59,382
understand the language at one

524
00:30:59,817 --> 00:31:00,551
point in the document, it says

525
00:31:00,551 --> 00:31:02,951
for appointment for indefinite

526
00:31:05,291 --> 00:31:06,692
term. And another top time, it

527
00:31:06,692 --> 00:31:09,692
says it ends on JANUARY 15,

528
00:31:11,497 --> 00:31:12,164
2027, all. Earlier date. And

529
00:31:12,164 --> 00:31:14,332
then this is the mayor can

530
00:31:14,332 --> 00:31:17,332
remove at any time. Very

531
00:31:18,537 --> 00:31:22,137
confusing. If this was such an

532
00:31:25,343 --> 00:31:28,780
important once the need for a

533
00:31:28,780 --> 00:31:30,490
intro, administrative became.

534
00:31:30,490 --> 00:31:30,715
Necessary. Why didn't you go

535
00:31:30,715 --> 00:31:33,685
through the process at that

536
00:31:33,685 --> 00:31:34,420
point? See, this is an urgency

537
00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:36,550
now because it's a last minute

538
00:31:36,550 --> 00:31:38,390
thing. You have an interim

539
00:31:38,390 --> 00:31:41,392
chief. You don't have to go

540
00:31:41,392 --> 00:31:43,761
through a process. All have

541
00:31:43,761 --> 00:31:45,396
approved by anybody. It just

542
00:31:45,396 --> 00:31:47,298
becomes appointed by a a

543
00:31:47,298 --> 00:31:50,298
interim tree. Chief lack of

544
00:31:50,301 --> 00:31:52,701
consistency. Thank you. Missus

545
00:31:53,771 --> 00:31:55,940
had I believe concludes the

546
00:31:55,940 --> 00:31:56,574
speakers. Yes. Okay. So I'm

547
00:31:56,574 --> 00:31:57,208
gonna go to Councilmember

548
00:31:57,208 --> 00:31:59,208
Brown. Then councilmember

549
00:32:00,845 --> 00:32:03,245
Houston. Excellent. Thank you

550
00:32:03,615 --> 00:32:04,350
so much for bringing this

551
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:06,750
recommendation on. Make motion

552
00:32:08,853 --> 00:32:10,456
to approve the item. Consumer

553
00:32:10,456 --> 00:32:13,456
is chair. Could have Bradley

554
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:22,698
just come up? Please. As you

555
00:32:26,170 --> 00:32:26,838
around. New Bradley. And the

556
00:32:26,838 --> 00:32:29,838
side of your earrings. Look

557
00:32:33,978 --> 00:32:34,679
really nice like. It like. So

558
00:32:34,679 --> 00:32:36,247
my question and I can started

559
00:32:36,247 --> 00:32:39,847
before I get started. I mean,

560
00:32:40,151 --> 00:32:40,852
for Bradley gets up here. This

561
00:32:40,852 --> 00:32:42,320
is has nothing. My questions

562
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,320
in my mind comments have

563
00:32:46,824 --> 00:32:49,994
nothing to do it. MR. Lakes.

564
00:32:49,994 --> 00:32:50,695
Integrity, Art Haggerty,

565
00:32:50,695 --> 00:32:53,165
integrity. She's good at. We

566
00:32:53,165 --> 00:32:54,632
don't agree about everything.

567
00:32:54,632 --> 00:32:56,301
But I have no issues winner.

568
00:32:56,301 --> 00:32:58,700
So my questions, have nothing

569
00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:00,571
to do with this. So is Bradley

570
00:33:00,571 --> 00:33:04,171
coming? All right. So what can

571
00:33:04,376 --> 00:33:06,644
answer my question? When do

572
00:33:06,644 --> 00:33:07,378
know seat? I have a problem

573
00:33:07,378 --> 00:33:10,378
urgent, urgent. Urgent all the

574
00:33:10,582 --> 00:33:11,849
time. Always an emergency

575
00:33:11,849 --> 00:33:12,984
urgent right. So why is

576
00:33:12,984 --> 00:33:16,584
urgent? And I wanted to know

577
00:33:16,722 --> 00:33:17,422
the 3 things that this city

578
00:33:17,422 --> 00:33:18,690
administrator has to vote on

579
00:33:18,690 --> 00:33:22,290
that so critical in JULY. So

580
00:33:22,961 --> 00:33:25,961
that answered. And the date.

581
00:33:29,233 --> 00:33:29,868
That's what I want to know.

582
00:33:29,868 --> 00:33:32,868
You want to you, Michael

583
00:33:34,939 --> 00:33:37,442

585
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:44,849
there's a second from under.

586
00:33:44,849 --> 00:33:46,551
David Jones, Treasury

587
00:33:46,551 --> 00:33:48,551

588
00:33:49,421 --> 00:33:50,880
item today item 5.1 is soon to

591
00:33:56,327 --> 00:33:57,730
revenue anticipation of

00:33:57,730 --> 00:33:59,431

594
00:34:02,101 --> 00:34:03,935

interim city administrators

599
00:34:11,309 --> 00:34:14,309

be executed before JULY 28th.

602
00:34:19,885 --> 00:34:20,586
So those are the projected

603
00:34:20,586 --> 00:34:23,856

604
00:34:23,856 --> 00:34:25,523

00:34:43,975 --> 00:34:46,578
the city administrator has to

00:34:46,578 --> 00:34:49,581

dates that are present

00:34:52,584 --> 00:34:54,285
tomorrow. We will need to post

619
00:34:54,285 --> 00:34:56,285
the preliminary official

620
00:34:57,889 --> 00:34:59,920
statement regarding that ran

621
00:34:59,920 --> 00:34:59,791
that We have authority to do

622
00:34:59,791 --> 00:35:02,760
that once we have the primary

623
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:03,429
officials in post posted next

624
00:35:03,429 --> 00:35:05,464

625
00:35:05,464 --> 00:35:07,366
need to sign the offering

626
00:35:07,366 --> 00:35:10,366
documents. Which date is it

627
00:35:10,935 --> 00:35:12,700
believe it will be on the

628
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:14,105
15th. David Kay, 16th day. But

629
00:35:14,105 --> 00:35:15,808
16th Councilmember usernames

630
00:35:15,808 --> 00:35:16,841
apologize and then we will be

631
00:35:16,841 --> 00:35:19,100
look, we're looking to close

632
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:19,712
on the 28th of JULY. So that

633
00:35:19,712 --> 00:35:20,378
would be another something

634
00:35:20,378 --> 00:35:22,778
that the city administrator

635
00:35:23,882 --> 00:35:24,916
has to sign. Correct. Do it.

636
00:35:24,916 --> 00:35:26,251
Yes. There's the 16 from the

637
00:35:26,251 --> 00:35:28,870
28th or items of the city

638
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:30,788
ministry would need to sign

639
00:35:30,788 --> 00:35:32,624
grotesque, the 8th, the 15th

640
00:35:32,624 --> 00:35:34,559
in the 16th, I'm sorry and the

641
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:38,159
28th. Okay. So not issues The

642
00:35:38,963 --> 00:35:40,165
mapping of this. Do we just

643
00:35:40,165 --> 00:35:40,832
find out that this had to

644
00:35:40,832 --> 00:35:43,232
happen when Justin, before

645
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,500
just to the left or would have

646
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:47,740
to resign because we knew that

647
00:35:47,740 --> 00:35:51,340
he was What JULY the 14th

648
00:35:51,643 --> 00:35:52,244
right, and what he could have

649
00:35:52,244 --> 00:35:53,211
done and then throw out

650
00:35:53,211 --> 00:35:55,179
charter charter Sectional

651
00:35:55,179 --> 00:35:56,649
5.40, duties. Other city

652
00:35:56,649 --> 00:35:57,315
administrator, the city

653
00:35:57,315 --> 00:35:57,983
administrator MAY appoint a

654
00:35:57,983 --> 00:36:00,383
director of finance, which

655
00:36:01,452 --> 00:36:03,388
would be you right to act

656
00:36:03,388 --> 00:36:04,122
under the city administrator

657
00:36:04,122 --> 00:36:07,722
direction. So if we knew these

658
00:36:07,825 --> 00:36:08,427
things were coming up, we

659
00:36:08,427 --> 00:36:10,827
could ahead his forced

660
00:36:11,290 --> 00:36:13,398
resignation to be JUNE AUGUST,

661
00:36:13,398 --> 00:36:13,898
the first right, which he

662
00:36:13,898 --> 00:36:14,860
could appoint a j#

663
00:36:14,860 --> 00:36:14,866
#

664
00:36:14,866 --> 00:36:15,600
to do

665
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,301
exactly what we're doing right

666
00:36:16,301 --> 00:36:20,501
now. Is that true or is that

667
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,841
not? Through the chair of the

668
00:36:23,841 --> 00:36:24,510
or Houston yet if there's a

669
00:36:24,510 --> 00:36:25,209
sitting city and this year

670
00:36:25,209 --> 00:36:25,911
they can provide me direction

671
00:36:25,911 --> 00:36:26,578
to sign off on their behalf.

672
00:36:26,578 --> 00:36:29,214
That is correct, right? And

673
00:36:29,214 --> 00:36:29,915
you expert at this. So my

674
00:36:29,915 --> 00:36:30,949
question is this is that this

675
00:36:30,949 --> 00:36:33,118
just came up the mapping. That

676
00:36:33,118 --> 00:36:36,880
is this is why I got issue

677
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,488
with certain things. City

678
00:36:39,758 --> 00:36:40,491
should be ran like a business.

679
00:36:40,491 --> 00:36:44,910
Like a business. He's based in

680
00:36:44,662 --> 00:36:46,664
just pop up. We know about the

681
00:36:46,664 --> 00:36:48,833
states so far city

682
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:50,234
administrator did resignation

683
00:36:50,234 --> 00:36:51,200
on the 14th Week us in. Okay.

684
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,200
We don't accept game. 17 days

685
00:36:54,672 --> 00:36:54,851
more. He could appoint j#

686
00:36:54,851 --> 00:36:56,408
#

687
00:36:56,408 --> 00:36:58,344
as

688
00:36:58,344 --> 00:36:59,177
the finance and you can decide

689
00:36:59,177 --> 00:37:02,777
all 3 of those states. Is that

690
00:37:03,481 --> 00:37:04,182
true or is that not true?

691
00:37:04,182 --> 00:37:04,850
Councilmember Houston, you're

692
00:37:04,850 --> 00:37:06,251
hypothetical is accurate. I

693
00:37:06,251 --> 00:37:08,519
will say that and maybe this

694
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:11,222
is my ignorance is a new

695
00:37:11,222 --> 00:37:11,889
director. I was not aware when

696
00:37:11,889 --> 00:37:13,359
we were coming up with this

697
00:37:13,359 --> 00:37:15,561
pricing schedule. One that we

698
00:37:15,561 --> 00:37:18,264
would not that Justin would

699
00:37:18,264 --> 00:37:20,932
have resigned. First off. And

700
00:37:20,932 --> 00:37:22,700
secondarily, I only recently

701
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:23,469
became aware of the charter

702
00:37:23,469 --> 00:37:26,469
related issues related to our

703
00:37:27,405 --> 00:37:28,673
ability to sign this item is

704
00:37:28,673 --> 00:37:29,807
for me. Knew this conflict of

705
00:37:29,807 --> 00:37:31,309
not having it, not having the

706
00:37:31,309 --> 00:37:33,311
authority were not the finance

707
00:37:33,311 --> 00:37:33,912
director who's normally

708
00:37:33,912 --> 00:37:34,846
directed by the city of

709
00:37:34,846 --> 00:37:38,446
industry to sign up socket is

710
00:37:38,983 --> 00:37:40,419
new to me. I was made aware

711
00:37:40,419 --> 00:37:42,186
them after much after this

712
00:37:42,186 --> 00:37:44,456
resignation happened. I was

713
00:37:44,456 --> 00:37:45,156
unaware that so and honestly

714
00:37:45,156 --> 00:37:47,792
within the last couple weeks,

715
00:37:47,792 --> 00:37:48,594
it's become a concern for me.

716
00:37:48,594 --> 00:37:49,260
A dozen other people didn't

717
00:37:49,260 --> 00:37:51,462
know. But I can tell you I

718
00:37:51,462 --> 00:37:54,980
could not know. And so. Timing

719
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:55,133
of this deal is Coincidental k

720
00:37:55,133 --> 00:37:56,769
this is not a tech you care to

721
00:37:56,769 --> 00:37:59,380
because I'm okay. You do a

722
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:00,720
great job. So I want ask you

723
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:00,705
to chair to the city

724
00:38:00,705 --> 00:38:02,373
administrator to the city

725
00:38:02,373 --> 00:38:05,973
attorney who would no who was

726
00:38:11,249 --> 00:38:14,249
supposed to know Because I

727
00:38:15,253 --> 00:38:17,756
don't like being rushed urgent

728
00:38:17,756 --> 00:38:18,356
all the time is always urgent.

729
00:38:18,356 --> 00:38:20,756
Waived the small local

730
00:38:20,825 --> 00:38:21,993
businesses. I'm tired this

731
00:38:21,993 --> 00:38:24,993
right. Iran businesses since I

732
00:38:26,631 --> 00:38:27,732
was a child paper route to.

733
00:38:27,732 --> 00:38:28,400
Business is business business

734
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,235
is not like this. You got a

735
00:38:31,235 --> 00:38:31,836
map. These things out, right?

736
00:38:31,836 --> 00:38:32,570
So my thing is who was

737
00:38:32,570 --> 00:38:34,970
responsible to know about

738
00:38:41,547 --> 00:38:42,281
these 3 dates due to chair? Is

739
00:38:42,281 --> 00:38:42,914
there someone that's available

740
00:38:42,914 --> 00:38:44,914
to answer? Councilmember

741
00:38:54,580 --> 00:38:54,759
Houston's question. Can you

742
00:38:54,759 --> 00:38:55,493
state your question again for

743
00:38:55,493 --> 00:38:58,730
the record? What I'm saying is

744
00:38:58,730 --> 00:38:59,664
this due to chairs this

745
00:38:59,664 --> 00:39:01,990
councilmember used soon as I

746
00:39:01,990 --> 00:39:04,637
was made aware of this through

747
00:39:04,637 --> 00:39:05,270
the city attorney, it was when

748
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:07,270
we immediately submitted

749
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,410
resolution and we we're not

750
00:39:10,410 --> 00:39:12,760
able to get it rules

751
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,646
committee. And so that's why

752
00:39:14,646 --> 00:39:15,847
the urgency came here to date

753
00:39:15,847 --> 00:39:17,847
because it's fiscally

754
00:39:18,517 --> 00:39:22,117
responsible of the city to do

755
00:39:22,654 --> 00:39:23,922
this because the the financing

756
00:39:23,922 --> 00:39:25,623
agencies and authorities want

757
00:39:25,623 --> 00:39:27,459
to have the interim as

758
00:39:27,459 --> 00:39:28,193
designee designee for the

759
00:39:28,193 --> 00:39:31,193
signing. But soon as we

760
00:39:31,462 --> 00:39:32,131
learned about this from the

761
00:39:32,131 --> 00:39:34,531
city attorney, we introduce

762
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:36,668
the resolution to do this. So

763
00:39:36,668 --> 00:39:37,268
Thank you, mayor. And this is

764
00:39:37,268 --> 00:39:38,300
not towards you either

765
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:38,670
because, you know, always been

766
00:39:38,670 --> 00:39:41,670
10 toes down. What you but

767
00:39:41,706 --> 00:39:43,441
right is right. And what like

768
00:39:43,441 --> 00:39:44,777
I said, I'm a close it out

769
00:39:44,777 --> 00:39:47,679
with this. I've been elected

770
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:49,747
up my folks from d 7 to

771
00:39:49,747 --> 00:39:52,147
represent them take this

772
00:39:52,785 --> 00:39:53,451
serious. I didn't take it a

773
00:39:53,451 --> 00:39:54,886
series win and when I first

774
00:39:54,886 --> 00:39:56,822
got elected, but when started

775
00:39:56,822 --> 00:39:57,755
looking at how the charter is

776
00:39:57,755 --> 00:39:59,900
that how things I take this

777
00:39:59,900 --> 00:39:59,824
series because they depend on

778
00:39:59,824 --> 00:40:02,860
us to make the right decisions

779
00:40:02,860 --> 00:40:05,197
in their best interests right.

780
00:40:05,197 --> 00:40:05,830
So my point is this is that we

781
00:40:05,830 --> 00:40:08,834
got to run a city like a

782
00:40:08,834 --> 00:40:11,103
business. Because that's why

783
00:40:11,103 --> 00:40:12,360
when the condition that we are

784
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,360
right now because we're not

785
00:40:15,974 --> 00:40:17,141
running it like a business. I

786
00:40:17,141 --> 00:40:17,775
see Councilmember, you sides

787
00:40:17,775 --> 00:40:21,346
want to say we take it So

788
00:40:21,346 --> 00:40:24,148
that's why we're doing this.

789
00:40:24,148 --> 00:40:24,817
It's important to the

790
00:40:24,817 --> 00:40:27,217
stability, quite frankly of

791
00:40:27,285 --> 00:40:28,319
the city. I if not, we

792
00:40:28,319 --> 00:40:30,210
wouldn't be doing this. We

793
00:40:30,210 --> 00:40:31,723
take it as seriously as you

794
00:40:31,723 --> 00:40:33,458
take. Thank you, mayor. So let

795
00:40:33,458 --> 00:40:38,258
me say this in in close in. In

796
00:40:39,163 --> 00:40:39,931
closing. This has nothing to

797
00:40:39,931 --> 00:40:42,333
do with Betsy, like this has

798
00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:44,535
to do with the process. So

799
00:40:44,535 --> 00:40:45,336
done check and you

800
00:40:45,336 --> 00:40:48,336
councilmember and then some of

801
00:40:50,542 --> 00:40:52,945
it to your mic on please. And

802
00:40:52,945 --> 00:40:53,645
All right. Thank you. Thank

803
00:40:53,645 --> 00:40:57,216
First of all, let me express

804
00:40:57,216 --> 00:40:58,883
to. My appreciation for the

805
00:40:58,883 --> 00:40:59,584
leadership of Betts who make

806
00:40:59,584 --> 00:41:01,786
for many years. I've had the

807
00:41:01,786 --> 00:41:02,755
opportunity to work with her.

808
00:41:02,755 --> 00:41:04,455
And certainly she has made

809
00:41:04,455 --> 00:41:07,455
many contributions to the city

810
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:10,728
of Oakland era recognize, you

811
00:41:10,728 --> 00:41:12,530
know, the rule that you that

812
00:41:12,530 --> 00:41:13,564
you're in and certainly the

813
00:41:13,564 --> 00:41:15,233
necessities emergencies that

814
00:41:15,233 --> 00:41:15,967
open faces and I support your

815
00:41:15,967 --> 00:41:18,967
recommendation to get the work

816
00:41:19,971 --> 00:41:21,373
done. Not about what we say is

817
00:41:21,373 --> 00:41:23,142
what we do. So we've got to

818
00:41:23,142 --> 00:41:26,742
get the work done and I

819
00:41:26,979 --> 00:41:27,912
support you. And so with this

820
00:41:27,912 --> 00:41:28,546
recommendation from Mayor

821
00:41:28,546 --> 00:41:29,515
Barbara Lee, I'm in full

822
00:41:29,515 --> 00:41:30,882
support. And I'll second the

823
00:41:30,882 --> 00:41:32,884
motion. You could be the 3rd

824
00:41:32,884 --> 00:41:36,484
person under a second. It you

825
00:41:37,623 --> 00:41:38,190
will be the 4th councilmember.

826
00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:39,791
Isis said a technical

827
00:41:39,791 --> 00:41:42,791
question. I could ask, Bradley

828
00:41:43,596 --> 00:41:45,397
threw the chair about the

829
00:41:45,397 --> 00:41:46,364
5 million dollars in savings.

830
00:41:46,364 --> 00:41:47,865
I believe that will realize as

831
00:41:47,865 --> 00:41:51,465
a result of this action. Is

832
00:41:53,104 --> 00:41:53,772
that is that compounding? So

833
00:41:53,772 --> 00:41:57,750
let me tip to I appreciate

834
00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:59,545
what you're saying. The net

835
00:41:59,545 --> 00:42:01,780
saving 7.50, the gro saving is

836
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:03,514
5.5 million net savings of 7

837
00:42:03,514 --> 00:42:04,215
$50,000. That would be

838
00:42:04,215 --> 00:42:05,183
additional savings could

839
00:42:05,183 --> 00:42:08,183
absolutely be used to compound

840
00:42:09,354 --> 00:42:10,550
to future years. Regarding our

841
00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:13,550
payment process. Yes, we are

842
00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:16,559
getting. Which articulate

843
00:42:16,694 --> 00:42:17,762
councilmember Fife is the

844
00:42:17,762 --> 00:42:19,664
benefit of putting money up

845
00:42:19,664 --> 00:42:20,231
front, which is what we're

846
00:42:20,231 --> 00:42:21,766
doing with the strain

847
00:42:21,766 --> 00:42:23,735
issuance, what we plan to do,

848
00:42:23,735 --> 00:42:25,537
whatever the market allows to

849
00:42:25,537 --> 00:42:26,472
save the city money. That is

850
00:42:26,472 --> 00:42:27,205
exactly the same contacts and

851
00:42:27,205 --> 00:42:27,839
just within the fiscal year as

852
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:28,907
opposed to between fiscal

853
00:42:28,907 --> 00:42:31,307
years. Understood. Thank you.

854
00:42:31,443 --> 00:42:33,843
Thank you. MADAM Clerk.

855
00:42:36,281 --> 00:42:37,448
Councilmember gender. Thank

856
00:42:37,448 --> 00:42:38,483
you. I just want to be very

857
00:42:38,483 --> 00:42:39,150
clear in state for the record.

858
00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:42,750
My reasons for saying no to

859
00:42:43,354 --> 00:42:45,754
this item. City Council

860
00:42:45,790 --> 00:42:48,493
doesn't have the power to pick

861
00:42:48,493 --> 00:42:51,229
most of our key leaders in the

862
00:42:51,229 --> 00:42:51,863
city. But we do retain the

863
00:42:51,863 --> 00:42:55,199
power to say no. When we

864
00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:56,335
disagree. I have nothing

865
00:42:56,335 --> 00:42:58,570
personal against like I don't

866
00:42:58,570 --> 00:43:02,170
know her and the personal cut

867
00:43:02,307 --> 00:43:02,975
past city, but I was elected

868
00:43:02,975 --> 00:43:03,675
like Councilmember Houston

869
00:43:03,675 --> 00:43:06,177
just sat in his district. Me

870
00:43:06,177 --> 00:43:08,814
in my district to have a

871
00:43:08,814 --> 00:43:10,616
fiduciary duty to this city

872
00:43:10,616 --> 00:43:12,451
and to be honest about

873
00:43:12,451 --> 00:43:15,451
decisions that I think will

874
00:43:16,540 --> 00:43:17,388
help or hinder our finances. I

875
00:43:17,388 --> 00:43:19,390
speak as a council member but

876
00:43:19,390 --> 00:43:20,426
also speak as the chair of

877
00:43:20,426 --> 00:43:23,328
finance. Comes as the chair of

878
00:43:23,328 --> 00:43:24,295
the Finance Committee. I do

879
00:43:24,295 --> 00:43:27,332
not support this because I do

880
00:43:27,332 --> 00:43:30,768
not trust us like to sell

881
00:43:30,768 --> 00:43:31,437
bonds, our execute financing,

882
00:43:31,437 --> 00:43:32,103
notes or any other critical

883
00:43:32,103 --> 00:43:34,503
financial decision for the

884
00:43:34,672 --> 00:43:36,374
city of Oakland, whether in a

885
00:43:36,374 --> 00:43:37,900
temporary or permanent

886
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:39,278
capacity. And this is not

887
00:43:39,278 --> 00:43:42,278
unfounded out of. This is

888
00:43:42,614 --> 00:43:44,249
based on actions that have

889
00:43:44,249 --> 00:43:47,753
been done during her tenure as

890
00:43:47,753 --> 00:43:48,419
and as a high-level city

891
00:43:48,419 --> 00:43:50,819
leader that have negatively

892
00:43:51,858 --> 00:43:54,225
harmed the Sea land deal.

893
00:43:54,225 --> 00:43:54,959
Sports steals real estate, the

894
00:43:54,959 --> 00:43:58,796
litigation and I can go on but

895
00:43:58,796 --> 00:44:00,365
not a lot to cling to I don't

896
00:44:00,365 --> 00:44:03,167
buy the argument that we just

897
00:44:03,167 --> 00:44:04,369
have. Our hands are tied

898
00:44:04,369 --> 00:44:05,404
because this was the argument

899
00:44:05,404 --> 00:44:07,439
that was used my first 2 years

900
00:44:07,439 --> 00:44:09,541
in this role under a previous

901
00:44:09,541 --> 00:44:10,875
mayor that we have things are

902
00:44:10,875 --> 00:44:12,277
brought to us last minute and

903
00:44:12,277 --> 00:44:15,877
then we just have to rubber

904
00:44:16,215 --> 00:44:18,182
stamp it. No, we don't. I even

905
00:44:18,182 --> 00:44:18,983
now before this JULY 15th that

906
00:44:18,983 --> 00:44:21,452
there is opportunities and I

907
00:44:21,452 --> 00:44:22,320
have expressed my concerns

908
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:22,954
previously before this item

909
00:44:22,954 --> 00:44:25,757
was brought to the rules

910
00:44:25,757 --> 00:44:26,925
committee to the mayor's

911
00:44:26,925 --> 00:44:28,560
office and suggested other

912
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,262
names, even though I have no

913
00:44:30,262 --> 00:44:32,464
power to put forward any other

914
00:44:32,464 --> 00:44:33,798
names of certainly suggested

915
00:44:33,798 --> 00:44:34,700
names. Now I'm not in favor of

916
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:35,400
bringing back a previous city

917
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,800
administrator either. Let me

918
00:44:38,504 --> 00:44:40,204
be clear. But I think that

919
00:44:40,204 --> 00:44:42,600
there are many qualified

920
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:42,674
people who do work for the

921
00:44:42,674 --> 00:44:45,376
city right now that can be

922
00:44:45,376 --> 00:44:46,844
trusted on financial matters.

923
00:44:46,844 --> 00:44:48,280
And I think that there are

924
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,914
people who previously worked

925
00:44:49,914 --> 00:44:52,251
for the city I believe can be

926
00:44:52,251 --> 00:44:53,318
trusted on financial matters.

927
00:44:53,318 --> 00:44:53,918
So I actually think it's the

928
00:44:53,918 --> 00:44:55,860
opposite. They it's an

929
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:57,486
irresponsible decision. But I

930
00:44:59,324 --> 00:45:02,160
am one vote. I'm one voice,

931
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,561
but I have a very clear

932
00:45:03,561 --> 00:45:04,195
fiduciary duty and I will use

933
00:45:04,195 --> 00:45:04,929
my vote exercise council

934
00:45:04,929 --> 00:45:06,364
PRESIDENT. I'm not looking for

935
00:45:06,364 --> 00:45:08,764
a stating my perspective.

936
00:45:09,835 --> 00:45:11,636
Thank you. MADAM Clerk. And

937
00:45:11,636 --> 00:45:13,939
with that, we have a motion by

938
00:45:13,939 --> 00:45:15,206
council member Brown seconded

939
00:45:15,206 --> 00:45:16,140
by Councilmember anger to

940
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:18,140
approve staff recommendation

councilmember Fife. I

944
00:45:23,849 --> 00:45:25,849
councilmember Gallo. I.

945
00:45:33,224 --> 00:45:36,224
Houston. Ramachandran I I and

financial outlook, including

959
00:46:09,610 --> 00:46:11,610
potential service adjustments

960
00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:13,898
and workforce reductions

961
00:46:13,898 --> 00:46:16,898
scenarios and impacts. I have

962
00:46:28,947 --> 00:46:32,547
a for speakers for this item.

963
00:46:38,723 --> 00:46:39,424
Good afternoon. I apologize.

964
00:46:39,424 --> 00:46:40,525
I'm trying to figure out how

965
00:46:40,525 --> 00:46:44,125
work the clicker. You all see

966
00:46:44,729 --> 00:46:46,431
the slight. Eventually will be

967
00:46:46,431 --> 00:46:47,310
able see the How many minutes,

968
00:46:47,310 --> 00:46:50,310
what you need for this

969
00:46:50,102 --> 00:46:51,570
presentation will 6 minutes

970
00:46:51,570 --> 00:46:52,272
we're working with 10, but we

971
00:46:52,272 --> 00:46:54,472
will try. We'll move as quick

972
00:46:54,472 --> 00:46:58,720
as possible. Okay. I'll talk I

973
00:46:59,944 --> 00:47:01,446
thank you. Good Saira Syed

974
00:47:01,446 --> 00:47:02,180
proud to represent ac Transit

975
00:47:02,180 --> 00:47:05,650
were 3 on the ac Transit Board

976
00:47:05,650 --> 00:47:08,486
of directors. I it's a real

977
00:47:08,486 --> 00:47:09,621
pleasure to be here today and

978
00:47:09,621 --> 00:47:11,223
to introduce and to reaffirm

979
00:47:11,223 --> 00:47:11,923
the essential role that ac

980
00:47:11,923 --> 00:47:14,923
transit plays in the everyday

981
00:47:15,227 --> 00:47:17,627
lives of people. And

982
00:47:18,796 --> 00:47:20,796
neighborhoods of Oakland.

983
00:47:20,832 --> 00:47:22,467
Alongside members of the ac

984
00:47:22,467 --> 00:47:24,469
Transit team. We'll also

985
00:47:24,469 --> 00:47:26,438
directly addressed the current

986
00:47:26,438 --> 00:47:27,138
budget challenges that

987
00:47:27,138 --> 00:47:29,538
frankly, without a long-term

988
00:47:29,641 --> 00:47:30,376
solution will impact our bus

989
00:47:30,376 --> 00:47:32,776
network our residents depend

990
00:47:33,244 --> 00:47:33,913
on every day. But first, let's

991
00:47:33,913 --> 00:47:38,113
take a quick look at who we

992
00:47:38,450 --> 00:47:40,184
are. Ac transit is not an

993
00:47:40,184 --> 00:47:40,818
agency of any a sea of an East

994
00:47:40,818 --> 00:47:43,818
Bay City where a special

995
00:47:44,489 --> 00:47:45,189
district serving 13 cities.

996
00:47:45,189 --> 00:47:47,189
Unincorporated communities

997
00:47:47,258 --> 00:47:49,658
across Alameda and Contra

998
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:50,963
Costa counties. We spanned 364

999
00:47:50,963 --> 00:47:52,665
Square Miles carrying more

1000
00:47:52,665 --> 00:47:54,165
than 3 million riders each

1001
00:47:54,165 --> 00:47:54,800
month and are governed by a

1002
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,200
publicly elected board of

1003
00:47:59,538 --> 00:48:00,204
directors. 3 out of 4 riders

1004
00:48:00,204 --> 00:48:02,140
are people of color. Nearly

1005
00:48:02,140 --> 00:48:03,641
two-thirds low income making

1006
00:48:03,641 --> 00:48:04,309
ac transit, an essential

1007
00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:06,709
lifeline for all the

1008
00:48:09,114 --> 00:48:09,814
communities we serve. It's why

1009
00:48:09,814 --> 00:48:11,717
for more than 65 years, we've

1010
00:48:11,717 --> 00:48:13,818
operated best facilities in

1011
00:48:13,818 --> 00:48:14,687
Oakland and reveal Hayward

1012
00:48:14,687 --> 00:48:15,387
enrichment. Keeping best is

1013
00:48:15,387 --> 00:48:18,900
close to the communities that

1014
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:19,925
rely on them. It's also why

1015
00:48:19,925 --> 00:48:21,660
we're proud to received the

1016
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:22,460
top honor as outstanding

1017
00:48:22,460 --> 00:48:24,460
public transportation system

1018
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,233
in the U.S. In 2023. Being a

1019
00:48:29,233 --> 00:48:29,801
top transit What does that

1020
00:48:29,801 --> 00:48:31,869
look like? Looks like

1021
00:48:31,869 --> 00:48:34,269
40 million rides every year.

1022
00:48:34,772 --> 00:48:36,772
More than 140,000 riders

1023
00:48:37,775 --> 00:48:39,877
boarding on a typical weekday.

1024
00:48:39,877 --> 00:48:41,546
Each. What weekday more than

1025
00:48:41,546 --> 00:48:43,946
5500 commuters rely on transit

1026
00:48:44,817 --> 00:48:46,919
to cross the Bay. And when

1027
00:48:46,919 --> 00:48:48,860
school returns at least 30,000

1028
00:48:48,860 --> 00:48:49,787
students depend on us to get

1029
00:48:49,787 --> 00:48:52,156
safely to and from school

1030
00:48:52,156 --> 00:48:52,991
every day writers recognize

1031
00:48:52,991 --> 00:48:55,991
our affordability and value in

1032
00:48:56,995 --> 00:48:59,665
the numbers. Prove it. Just

1033
00:48:59,665 --> 00:49:00,164
this for 3 months, we had our

1034
00:49:00,164 --> 00:49:01,133
first 3 months of

1035
00:49:01,133 --> 00:49:03,133
year-over-year ridership

1036
00:49:05,370 --> 00:49:07,770
growth since the pandemic.

1037
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,575
Also workforce first employer

1038
00:49:09,575 --> 00:49:11,975
supporting more than 5100 jobs

1039
00:49:12,243 --> 00:49:14,146
across the East Bay. More than

1040
00:49:14,146 --> 00:49:15,280
half of those jobs are created

1041
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,814
outside our agency. And

1042
00:49:16,814 --> 00:49:17,515
together, they generate over

1043
00:49:17,515 --> 00:49:19,915
604 million dollars in annual

1044
00:49:21,152 --> 00:49:21,819
wages. Injecting nearly

1045
00:49:21,819 --> 00:49:24,219
1 billion dollars into the

1046
00:49:24,556 --> 00:49:25,723
East Bay economy every year.

1047
00:49:25,723 --> 00:49:27,425
Every bus we operate creates

1048
00:49:27,425 --> 00:49:27,959
jobs supports local businesses

1049
00:49:27,959 --> 00:49:29,959
and strengthens our

1050
00:49:32,831 --> 00:49:33,498
communities. Well feeling

1051
00:49:33,498 --> 00:49:36,498
these be economy were also

1052
00:49:37,135 --> 00:49:37,869
cleaning the air for a quarter

1053
00:49:37,869 --> 00:49:40,869
century. Ac transit has led

1054
00:49:41,139 --> 00:49:43,539
the nation 0 emission buses.

1055
00:49:43,909 --> 00:49:45,611
Our fleet of 50 a 0 emission

1056
00:49:45,611 --> 00:49:47,579
buses, eliminate tailpipe

1057
00:49:47,579 --> 00:49:49,979
emissions from our streets.

1058
00:49:50,615 --> 00:49:51,883
And that leadership earned ac

1059
00:49:51,883 --> 00:49:54,283
Transit of 40 million dollars

1060
00:49:54,285 --> 00:49:54,953
federal investment to launch

1061
00:49:54,953 --> 00:49:56,621

Syria. Mission Bus University.

1063
00:49:59,557 --> 00:50:01,957
Alongside Chabot College and

associate degrees while

1067
00:50:06,397 --> 00:50:08,797
preparing the clean transit

1068
00:50:11,669 --> 00:50:12,338
workforce of tomorrow. Writers

1069
00:50:12,338 --> 00:50:12,971
recognize our value because

1070
00:50:12,971 --> 00:50:14,373
we're committed to making

1071
00:50:14,373 --> 00:50:16,373
transit more affordable,

1072
00:50:16,742 --> 00:50:19,742
faster and safer ez Pass

1074
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:22,679
for participating employers,

1075
00:50:24,449 --> 00:50:25,117
colleges and communities.

1076
00:50:25,117 --> 00:50:25,851
Clipper Start gives income

1077
00:50:25,851 --> 00:50:28,851
eligible adults have off every

1078
00:50:29,654 --> 00:50:30,723
ride. We redesigned our 104

1079
00:50:30,723 --> 00:50:33,723
bus lines last summer under

1080
00:50:37,429 --> 00:50:38,960
our realign network. As I

1081
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,831
mentioned, 3 out of 4 easy

1082
00:50:39,831 --> 00:50:40,498
transit riders are people of

1083
00:50:40,498 --> 00:50:42,898
color and nearly two-thirds

1084
00:50:44,369 --> 00:50:45,370
are low income. Let's put

1085
00:50:45,370 --> 00:50:47,305
those numbers into

1086
00:50:47,305 --> 00:50:47,939
perspective. More than half of

1087
00:50:47,939 --> 00:50:50,508
our riders earn less than

1088
00:50:50,508 --> 00:50:51,243
$50,000 a year below the

1089
00:50:51,243 --> 00:50:53,712
federal poverty level in one

1090
00:50:53,712 --> 00:50:55,179
of the nation's most expensive

1091
00:50:55,179 --> 00:50:55,748
regions. Many are already

1092
00:50:55,748 --> 00:50:57,748
struggling to afford

1093
00:50:57,917 --> 00:50:59,451
essentials like housing and

1094
00:50:59,451 --> 00:51:01,451
transportation. That helps

1095
00:51:01,452 --> 00:51:04,550
explain why 65% of our writers

1096
00:51:04,550 --> 00:51:05,991
are transit dependent. So

1097
00:51:05,991 --> 00:51:06,925
service cuts would not just be

1098
00:51:06,925 --> 00:51:07,926
an inconvenience. They would

1099
00:51:07,926 --> 00:51:11,526
upend the lives of those who

1100
00:51:11,665 --> 00:51:14,699
rely on transit. Now turn it

1101
00:51:14,699 --> 00:51:15,633
over to ac Transit's staff.

1102
00:51:15,633 --> 00:51:16,234
We'll share more about our

1103
00:51:16,234 --> 00:51:18,234
deficit projections and

1104
00:51:20,339 --> 00:51:21,205
potential impacts to service.

1105
00:51:21,205 --> 00:51:21,941
Good afternoon council

1106
00:51:21,941 --> 00:51:24,809
members. It's great to see all

1107
00:51:24,809 --> 00:51:25,910
of you and to be in these

1108
00:51:25,910 --> 00:51:26,545
chambers again, I'm laws and

1109
00:51:26,545 --> 00:51:27,245
the executive director of

1110
00:51:27,245 --> 00:51:29,645
external affairs and customer

1111
00:51:31,249 --> 00:51:32,251
experience at ac Transit. So a

1112
00:51:32,251 --> 00:51:34,152
number of things that our

1113
00:51:34,152 --> 00:51:36,321
board member just shared. I'm

1114
00:51:36,321 --> 00:51:38,489
that ac transit is making sure

1115
00:51:38,489 --> 00:51:40,726
that every taxpayer dollar

1116
00:51:40,726 --> 00:51:41,960
counts. We know that when

1117
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:42,694
theres going paid the cost of

1118
00:51:42,694 --> 00:51:43,428
running the service does not

1119
00:51:43,428 --> 00:51:45,828
disappear. Instead, it creates

1120
00:51:46,397 --> 00:51:47,166
a funding gap. This month we

1121
00:51:47,166 --> 00:51:48,232
launched the Multilingual,

1122
00:51:48,232 --> 00:51:50,101
Fair required Fair compliance

1123
00:51:50,101 --> 00:51:50,802
campaign. The message is

1124
00:51:50,802 --> 00:51:53,802
simple. Pay the fare, protect

1125
00:51:54,373 --> 00:51:55,400
the bus line, a comprehensive

1126
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,440
California state audit just

1127
00:51:58,209 --> 00:51:59,311
recently found that ac transit

1128
00:51:59,311 --> 00:52:00,912
seems well with service with

1129
00:52:00,912 --> 00:52:03,912
other agencies across the East

1130
00:52:04,150 --> 00:52:05,150
Bay, our collective real

1131
00:52:05,150 --> 00:52:07,150
challenges are sustainable,

1132
00:52:08,860 --> 00:52:08,853
fun, sustainable funding, not

1133
00:52:08,853 --> 00:52:09,787
mismanagement has affected.

1134
00:52:09,787 --> 00:52:10,555
Just give you a heads up. You

1135
00:52:10,555 --> 00:52:11,290
have one minute left of the

1136
00:52:11,290 --> 00:52:14,259
presentation. Time make you so

1137
00:52:14,259 --> 00:52:14,892
much, sir. Okay. We're doing

1138
00:52:14,892 --> 00:52:17,292
everything to protect the

1139
00:52:18,763 --> 00:52:21,163
public funds. What's driving

1140
00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:22,500
the deficit? 28% of fuel is

1141
00:52:22,500 --> 00:52:24,500
fuel. Cost increases 14%

1142
00:52:25,870 --> 00:52:26,604
increase in bus parts. 35%

1143
00:52:26,604 --> 00:52:30,800
more expensive to buy buses to

1144
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:31,810
date. In terms of our

1145
00:52:31,810 --> 00:52:32,510
financial outlook, we've saved

1146
00:52:32,510 --> 00:52:35,510
over 9 million dollars in the

1147
00:52:36,347 --> 00:52:37,484
in the last fiscal year. Our

1148
00:52:37,484 --> 00:52:39,484
deficit is projected to be

1149
00:52:39,484 --> 00:52:40,585
200 million over the next 4

1150
00:52:40,585 --> 00:52:41,452
years, which would result and

1151
00:52:41,452 --> 00:52:44,189
want to draw your attention to

1152
00:52:44,189 --> 00:52:46,158
the right side of this slide.

1153
00:52:46,158 --> 00:52:46,859
16% reduction in bus service

1154
00:52:46,859 --> 00:52:50,459
and the potential loss of up

1155
00:52:50,695 --> 00:52:53,695
to 300 jobs at ac Transit.

1156
00:52:53,899 --> 00:52:54,499
That's why the 2026 NOVEMBER

1157
00:52:54,499 --> 00:52:55,233
regional measure is so

1158
00:52:55,233 --> 00:52:56,801
important to us. It's going to

1159
00:52:56,801 --> 00:52:58,503
be on the ballot. The bridge

1160
00:52:58,503 --> 00:52:59,537
loan from the state has helped

1161
00:52:59,537 --> 00:53:00,239
provide relief for the current

1162
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,239
fiscal year, which we've just

1163
00:53:04,175 --> 00:53:04,877
started this week. However,

1164
00:53:04,877 --> 00:53:06,312
we're planning for the worst

1165
00:53:06,312 --> 00:53:08,914
and hoping for the best. We

1166
00:53:08,914 --> 00:53:09,814
have contingency service plan

1167
00:53:09,814 --> 00:53:11,716
that I'll go over quickly

1168
00:53:11,716 --> 00:53:13,818
since we're out of town out of

1169
00:53:13,818 --> 00:53:14,452
time. We're looking to

1170
00:53:14,452 --> 00:53:15,119
preserve the core of the

1171
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:17,519
network, which is primarily

1172
00:53:17,822 --> 00:53:19,958
here in Oakland. But if we are

1173
00:53:19,958 --> 00:53:22,561
forced to enact this service

1174
00:53:22,561 --> 00:53:23,262
plan, many bus lines in

1175
00:53:23,262 --> 00:53:25,464
Oakland in Oakland, residents

1176
00:53:25,464 --> 00:53:27,864
would be severely impacted.

1177
00:53:28,433 --> 00:53:29,168
This will not go into effect

1178
00:53:29,168 --> 00:53:31,703
until JUNE of 2027 and would

1179
00:53:31,703 --> 00:53:32,604
go into effect only if the

1180
00:53:32,604 --> 00:53:35,400
regional measure in NOVEMBER

1181
00:53:35,306 --> 00:53:37,176
does not pass on the ballot.

1182
00:53:37,176 --> 00:53:38,900
So thank you for your time

1183
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:38,643
this afternoon. And we hope

1184
00:53:38,643 --> 00:53:40,578
you stay engaged on this

1185
00:53:40,578 --> 00:53:41,980
critical matter for transit

1186
00:53:41,980 --> 00:53:44,380
for Oakland residents. Thank

1187
00:53:44,849 --> 00:53:46,251
you. Thank you so much. Let's

1188
00:53:46,251 --> 00:53:47,452

1189
00:53:47,452 --> 00:53:49,588
first and then I'll open up to

1190
00:53:49,588 --> 00:53:50,788
council members. There are any

1191
00:53:50,788 --> 00:53:51,589
questions. Thank you so much

1192
00:53:51,589 --> 00:53:54,525
for that. I will call the

1193
00:53:54,525 --> 00:53:56,294

by that, we will take those

1202
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:11,700

1203
00:54:11,877 --> 00:54:12,944

1210
00:54:25,990 --> 00:54:27,992
MISTER Biden said. I have

1211
00:54:27,992 --> 00:54:28,726
friends. Monte bus driver

1212
00:54:28,726 --> 00:54:31,726
Faizi Transit. 2 of my cousins

1213
00:54:31,930 --> 00:54:32,864
to my friends. I still use ac

1214
00:54:32,864 --> 00:54:35,567
transit. Some and I got to my

1215
00:54:35,567 --> 00:54:38,870
son on the way. This is a

1216
00:54:38,870 --> 00:54:40,538
perfect example of unintended

1217
00:54:40,538 --> 00:54:41,406
consequences. Az Stacy Transit

1218
00:54:41,406 --> 00:54:41,974
blue 20 million dollars. The

1219
00:54:41,974 --> 00:54:43,974
strong International

1220
00:54:46,412 --> 00:54:47,450
Boulevard. One-third those

1221
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:47,713
businesses were severely

1222
00:54:47,713 --> 00:54:48,379
impacted and went out. Then

1223
00:54:48,379 --> 00:54:50,549
this is owned by black and

1224
00:54:50,549 --> 00:54:53,117
Brown people. And if you go on

1225
00:54:53,117 --> 00:54:54,452
Broadway, it looks very nice

1226
00:54:54,452 --> 00:54:55,621
and Purdy and it my son Purdy

1227
00:54:55,621 --> 00:54:57,923
pain. It go to the east. You

1228
00:54:57,923 --> 00:54:59,891
got those plastic homes. It

1229
00:54:59,891 --> 00:55:01,159
destroyed aesthetics of our

1230
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:01,794
community. And now we're here

1231
00:55:01,794 --> 00:55:03,995
today talking about this

1232
00:55:03,995 --> 00:55:06,980
deficit that they're in. I

1233
00:55:06,980 --> 00:55:07,980
hope everyone want from this

1234
00:55:07,980 --> 00:55:08,320
lesson. We've got to stop

1235
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:08,533
being reactive making

1236
00:55:08,533 --> 00:55:09,200
decisions without

1237
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,268
understanding the long-term

1238
00:55:10,268 --> 00:55:11,636
impact of that. Because what

1239
00:55:11,636 --> 00:55:14,636
ac transit didi's open with

1240
00:55:16,908 --> 00:55:17,643
just horrible. Councilmember

1241
00:55:17,643 --> 00:55:18,309
know. Remember because we have

1242
00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:19,445
to bring them together and

1243
00:55:19,445 --> 00:55:20,144
then even know about the

1244
00:55:20,144 --> 00:55:22,140
mitigation fund. So please do

1245
00:55:22,140 --> 00:55:25,140
better next time. Thank you

1246
00:55:31,356 --> 00:55:34,956
for your comments. I don't see

1247
00:55:41,165 --> 00:55:42,468
the clock. Not ok. So it it

1248
00:55:42,468 --> 00:55:44,202
did not in the present and

1249
00:55:44,202 --> 00:55:45,570
views and that people of

1250
00:55:45,570 --> 00:55:46,272
color, please. What difference

1251
00:55:46,272 --> 00:55:49,872
does it make? What color you

1252
00:55:50,608 --> 00:55:51,210
are riding the bus? You didn't

1253
00:55:51,210 --> 00:55:53,210
say anything about

1254
00:55:54,412 --> 00:55:56,812
supplemental bus services that

1255
00:55:57,716 --> 00:56:00,985
or a part of ust. Service to

1256
00:56:00,985 --> 00:56:02,620
students seeded. There is the

1257
00:56:02,620 --> 00:56:05,200
student Transit Pace program.

1258
00:56:06,991 --> 00:56:07,959
The easy pass. The universal

1259
00:56:07,959 --> 00:56:09,894
Free Transit school pay us in

1260
00:56:09,894 --> 00:56:12,294
the Supplemental bus services.

1261
00:56:12,731 --> 00:56:13,731
Now, if you in so much

1262
00:56:13,731 --> 00:56:16,731
trouble, why on JANUARY first,

1263
00:56:17,502 --> 00:56:18,202
did you start route? 31 from

1264
00:56:18,202 --> 00:56:20,271
Sky Line all the way down to

1265
00:56:20,271 --> 00:56:22,875
the au. Get where it goes all

1266
00:56:22,875 --> 00:56:24,710
the way from. Do all kind of

1267
00:56:24,710 --> 00:56:28,910
stuff that has to do with it.

1268
00:56:29,781 --> 00:56:31,482
Favoritism. 20 buses go up to

1269
00:56:31,482 --> 00:56:33,384
sky lot. 10 in the morning 10

1270
00:56:33,384 --> 00:56:37,584
and the go to Montero a total

1271
00:56:38,857 --> 00:56:39,524
16. And we never hear how much

1272
00:56:39,524 --> 00:56:40,191
money pay for. That was the

1273
00:56:40,191 --> 00:56:41,659
school district has. Nobody

1274
00:56:41,659 --> 00:56:44,659
talks about. Thank you, Missus

1275
00:56:50,736 --> 00:56:52,938

00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,760
presentation and dying very

1288
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,267
concerned. We need to keep

1289
00:57:22,267 --> 00:57:24,102
transit rolling extra transit

1290
00:57:24,102 --> 00:57:25,137
transer reduces the cars on

1291
00:57:25,137 --> 00:57:28,737
the road and it's yes reduce

1292
00:57:28,806 --> 00:57:29,475
entry. Can pay calories. And

1293
00:57:29,475 --> 00:57:31,343
while mistakes were made in

1294
00:57:31,343 --> 00:57:33,343
designing the International

1295
00:57:35,713 --> 00:57:37,650

1296
00:57:37,650 --> 00:57:39,617
Gotten transit port, together,

00:57:39,617 --> 00:57:42,170
reducing fatalities and out

1298
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:42,987
lie. We need to make sure

1299
00:57:42,987 --> 00:57:45,387
Clinton doesn't do anything

1300
00:57:48,426 --> 00:57:51,496
that risks the passing this on

1301
00:57:51,496 --> 00:57:52,797
the ballot in NOVEMBER. And we

1302
00:57:52,797 --> 00:57:55,633
need to figure out what we can

1303
00:57:55,633 --> 00:57:59,833
do to keep keep a secret. It

1304
00:58:00,872 --> 00:58:01,573
moving. Whack by says will

1305
00:58:01,573 --> 00:58:03,808
increase the cost to Oakland.

1306
00:58:03,808 --> 00:58:05,978
Whether or not extremely

1307
00:58:05,978 --> 00:58:08,978
obvious. What it's going on

1308
00:58:09,915 --> 00:58:11,984
and how will happen. Thank you

1309
00:58:11,984 --> 00:58:14,984

1310
00:58:15,860 --> 00:58:16,870
speaker for this item, Blair,

1311
00:58:16,870 --> 00:58:19,959
big men and don't see him at

1312
00:58:19,959 --> 00:58:20,592
this time. So that concludes

1313
00:58:20,592 --> 00:58:21,659
your speakers. Okay. Now

1314
00:58:21,659 --> 00:58:22,194
conclude public comment. Are

1315
00:58:22,194 --> 00:58:24,194
there any questions

1316
00:58:25,296 --> 00:58:27,696
Councilmembers c? You have

1317
00:58:30,402 --> 00:58:31,570

1318
00:58:31,570 --> 00:58:32,237
of the representatives

1319
00:58:32,237 --> 00:58:34,637
complete, please share with

1320
00:58:36,774 --> 00:58:37,942
the public and certainly.

1321
00:58:37,942 --> 00:58:39,440
Growing up here in Oakland,

1322
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:40,111
all my certainly understand

1323
00:58:40,111 --> 00:58:41,512
the level of service from ac

1324
00:58:41,512 --> 00:58:44,512
transit. But can you share

1325
00:58:44,716 --> 00:58:47,452
with us? What is your future

1326
00:58:47,452 --> 00:58:48,687
projection to serving our

1327
00:58:48,687 --> 00:58:50,687
student population, including

1328
00:58:50,689 --> 00:58:52,658
our seniors that are utilizing

1329
00:58:52,658 --> 00:58:53,858
the bus system on a daily

1330
00:58:53,858 --> 00:58:56,695
basis I know you provide

1331
00:58:56,695 --> 00:58:59,695
certain passes and so forth

1332
00:59:01,266 --> 00:59:01,899
services to the schools. Yeah,

1333
00:59:01,899 --> 00:59:03,768
Sean de slurs on service

1334
00:59:03,768 --> 00:59:04,737
planning manager ac Transit at

1335
00:59:04,737 --> 00:59:07,473
this point for as as part of

1336
00:59:07,473 --> 00:59:08,539
the continued service plan,

1337
00:59:08,539 --> 00:59:09,274
we're not proposing any

1338
00:59:09,274 --> 00:59:10,675
reductions to our supplemental

1339
00:59:10,675 --> 00:59:13,750
or supplemental bus service

1340
00:59:13,945 --> 00:59:15,247
routes. So all the bus

1341
00:59:15,247 --> 00:59:16,140
services that serve skyline is

1342
00:59:16,140 --> 00:59:19,614
as as a resident mention on

1343
00:59:20,818 --> 00:59:21,753
terror. Oakland Tech route,

1344
00:59:21,753 --> 00:59:23,210
stale high number of the

1345
00:59:23,210 --> 00:59:23,722
schools in the hills. We're

1346
00:59:23,722 --> 00:59:24,455
not we're looking to reduce

1347
00:59:24,455 --> 00:59:26,524
those services because we know

1348
00:59:26,524 --> 00:59:28,459
they're very central as part

1349
00:59:28,459 --> 00:59:30,862
of essential service that we

1350
00:59:30,862 --> 00:59:31,597
provide. So does Oakland

1351
00:59:31,597 --> 00:59:33,731
Unified School District pay

1352
00:59:33,731 --> 00:59:37,331
for this service or that ac

1353
00:59:38,469 --> 00:59:39,805
transit provide that? Ac

1354
00:59:39,805 --> 00:59:42,805
transit does get a small

1355
00:59:44,509 --> 00:59:45,678
amount about $500,000 annually

1356
00:59:45,678 --> 00:59:46,377
usd. By no means covers the

1357
00:59:46,377 --> 00:59:47,613
cost of the service. So it is

1358
00:59:47,613 --> 00:59:48,580
being paid for out of the

1359
00:59:48,580 --> 00:59:51,580
general. I guess the general

1360
00:59:52,784 --> 00:59:56,384
fund of ac Transit thank you

1361
00:59:59,123 --> 00:59:59,824
for the information.

1362
00:59:59,824 --> 01:00:01,824
Councilmember Houston. And

1363
01:00:02,427 --> 01:00:03,227
then after probably make a

1364
01:00:03,227 --> 01:00:06,130
motion due to chair like

1365
01:00:06,130 --> 01:00:08,320
couple questions too. And

1366
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,320
doesn't have anything too much

1367
01:00:14,138 --> 01:00:14,939
to do with this. Like Jon

1368
01:00:14,939 --> 01:00:17,939
Jones, c ac Transit destroyed

1369
01:00:18,544 --> 01:00:21,544
my neighborhood. Is what it

1370
01:00:21,846 --> 01:00:24,650
is. District 7 from the border

1371
01:00:24,650 --> 01:00:26,585
Stanley into the 70's there. I

1372
01:00:26,585 --> 01:00:27,252
was just I would never vote if

1373
01:00:27,252 --> 01:00:29,880
the net effect was council

1374
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:29,754
member at that time. I would

1375
01:00:29,754 --> 01:00:33,354
never let that happen in my

1376
01:00:33,591 --> 01:00:34,292
neighborhood. Because some of

1377
01:00:34,292 --> 01:00:37,292
the things that were supposed

1378
01:00:40,632 --> 01:00:41,367
to happen. Because and

1379
01:00:41,367 --> 01:00:44,367
promised to keep dent illegal,

1380
01:00:45,871 --> 01:00:48,871
dumping off of that. Medium.

1381
01:00:49,174 --> 01:00:50,142
And it's so trashy who takes

1382
01:00:50,142 --> 01:00:52,177
care of the delineated

1383
01:00:52,177 --> 01:00:52,878
touchdown Chan allies as they

1384
01:00:52,878 --> 01:00:55,878
get it with everybody driving

1385
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:57,248
by says even though it doesn't

1386
01:00:57,248 --> 01:00:57,982
have that, I'm not happy with

1387
01:00:57,982 --> 01:01:00,685
ac transit in my neighborhood.

1388
01:01:00,685 --> 01:01:05,485
I'm not. So so and I speak for

1389
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,326
my people. District 7 Intel's

1390
01:01:08,326 --> 01:01:09,270
down for goes down for me and

1391
01:01:09,270 --> 01:01:09,762
believe me, they are so once

1392
01:01:09,762 --> 01:01:12,630
cause some of them go speak on

1393
01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:13,666
this later. Something My thing

1394
01:01:13,666 --> 01:01:14,732
is I was just gonna say this

1395
01:01:14,732 --> 01:01:17,732
might be more appropriate for

1396
01:01:21,673 --> 01:01:22,308
the ioc I know you understand.

1397
01:01:22,308 --> 01:01:23,700
I understand what you're

1398
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:25,430
saying, but it might I think

1399
01:01:25,430 --> 01:01:28,430
they're here in a different

1400
01:01:29,213 --> 01:01:29,915
capacity and you're a member

1401
01:01:29,915 --> 01:01:30,517
of the ioc and this might be

1402
01:01:30,517 --> 01:01:32,917
an appropriate thing to

1403
01:01:33,519 --> 01:01:35,688
agenda. Okay, PRESIDENT, I let

1404
01:01:35,688 --> 01:01:37,622
them roll. All right. So thank

1405
01:01:37,622 --> 01:01:40,458
you. Thank you. As made a

1406
01:01:40,458 --> 01:01:43,127
motion make a second. And that

1407
01:01:43,127 --> 01:01:46,727
was in motion. What did you

1408
01:01:47,265 --> 01:01:50,865
want to say? Some? Take the

1409
01:01:51,135 --> 01:01:53,204
opportunity. Yeah, I just I'm

1410
01:01:53,204 --> 01:01:55,306
a proud ac transit rider

1411
01:01:55,306 --> 01:01:56,542
myself. I just, you know,

1412
01:01:56,542 --> 01:01:57,375
working class people are using

1413
01:01:57,375 --> 01:01:58,420
the bus system. That's the

1414
01:01:58,420 --> 01:02:01,790
other thing that we need to

1415
01:02:01,790 --> 01:02:01,679
talk about. And with these

1416
01:02:01,679 --> 01:02:04,790
service cuts which are

1417
01:02:04,449 --> 01:02:05,150
drastic, I like to just hear

1418
01:02:05,150 --> 01:02:07,653
how can we help be helpful to

1419
01:02:07,653 --> 01:02:09,355
ensure that this ballot

1420
01:02:09,355 --> 01:02:10,880
measure passes? Because it is

1421
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,488
critically important that this

1422
01:02:16,128 --> 01:02:16,795
transit service continues. You

1423
01:02:16,795 --> 01:02:18,129
councilmember one for that

1424
01:02:18,129 --> 01:02:19,365
question. So since we're here

1425
01:02:19,365 --> 01:02:22,101
in our official ac transit

1426
01:02:22,101 --> 01:02:24,135
capacity, you know, my

1427
01:02:24,135 --> 01:02:25,700
response is we we would

1428
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:25,770
welcome any opportunities to

1429
01:02:25,770 --> 01:02:28,170
share this same presentation

1430
01:02:28,974 --> 01:02:29,807
with your constituents,

1431
01:02:29,807 --> 01:02:31,776
community groups community

1432
01:02:31,776 --> 01:02:32,778
stakeholders, business

1433
01:02:32,778 --> 01:02:34,279
associations. You could let us

1434
01:02:34,279 --> 01:02:35,847
know where you think that

1435
01:02:35,847 --> 01:02:36,649
there are stakeholders that

1436
01:02:36,649 --> 01:02:37,982
would be interested in this

1437
01:02:37,982 --> 01:02:40,982
information and we'd be happy

1438
01:02:41,819 --> 01:02:44,880
to go to where they are in

1439
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:44,923
terms of what can be done

1440
01:02:44,923 --> 01:02:45,556
regards to the revenue

1441
01:02:45,556 --> 01:02:46,257
measure, right. Those are

1442
01:02:46,257 --> 01:02:47,759
things that as a public

1443
01:02:47,759 --> 01:02:50,159
employee, we cannot get

1444
01:02:51,796 --> 01:02:52,497
involved in in our public

1445
01:02:52,497 --> 01:02:55,434
time. Certainly I think a lot

1446
01:02:55,434 --> 01:02:56,670
of people here are doing a

1447
01:02:56,670 --> 01:02:56,668
whole bunch of as private

1448
01:02:56,668 --> 01:02:59,668

01:05:25,116 --> 01:05:26,484
staff. We do need state an

1503
01:05:26,484 --> 01:05:29,484
urgency finding on the record

1504
01:05:30,722 --> 01:05:31,489
before we hear this item. So

1505
01:05:31,489 --> 01:05:34,359
this item can present urgency.

1506
01:05:34,359 --> 01:05:36,195
Why we need to hear this item.

1507
01:05:36,195 --> 01:05:36,928
Sure. The urgency item is just

1508
01:05:36,928 --> 01:05:39,630
timeliness to make it onto the

1509
01:05:39,630 --> 01:05:41,463
ballot this NOVEMBER. Thank

1510
01:05:42,133 --> 01:05:45,733
you. A second that. And that

1511
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:46,971
was a motion by council member

1512
01:05:46,971 --> 01:05:48,806
seconded by council PRESIDENT

1513
01:05:48,806 --> 01:05:49,575
Jenkins to approve the

1514
01:05:49,575 --> 01:05:50,275
urgency. Spiny stated on

1515
01:05:50,275 --> 01:05:51,744
record with that on role

1516
01:05:51,744 --> 01:05:53,744
Councilmember Brown. Hi

1517
01:05:55,848 --> 01:05:58,248
Councilmember Fife. Gallo. I

1518
01:06:03,454 --> 01:06:04,156
Houston, I. Much much on I

1519
01:06:04,156 --> 01:06:07,156
think we keep pushing the 100

1520
01:06:14,666 --> 01:06:17,666
k. I and council PRESIDENT

1521
01:06:19,872 --> 01:06:21,573
Jenkins. We skews dies. Prove

1522
01:06:21,573 --> 01:06:24,573
that urgency finding you MAY

1523
01:06:32,785 --> 01:06:35,753
present. All right. Thank you,

1524
01:06:35,753 --> 01:06:36,722
colleagues. So what is before

1525
01:06:36,722 --> 01:06:40,726
you today is a proposal to add

1526
01:06:40,726 --> 01:06:43,795
on to the ballot this NOVEMBER

1527
01:06:43,795 --> 01:06:45,730
a closure of a new poll in our

1528
01:06:45,730 --> 01:06:48,130
existing real estate transfer

1529
01:06:48,399 --> 01:06:50,368
tax in measure acts. This is

1530
01:06:50,368 --> 01:06:52,136
our progressive real estate

1531
01:06:52,136 --> 01:06:54,380
transfer tax. There is an

1532
01:06:54,380 --> 01:06:54,639
exemption right now in

1533
01:06:54,639 --> 01:06:56,639
foreclosure transfers,

1534
01:06:57,242 --> 01:06:59,178
including deed in lieu

1535
01:06:59,178 --> 01:06:59,711
transfers, these types of

1536
01:06:59,711 --> 01:07:00,345
transfers of these

1537
01:07:00,345 --> 01:07:02,745
acquisitions, by the way,

1538
01:07:04,148 --> 01:07:06,548
primarily fall under lenders.

1539
01:07:06,651 --> 01:07:07,352
So these are banks as well as

1540
01:07:07,352 --> 01:07:09,687
real estate investment trusts

1541
01:07:09,687 --> 01:07:12,687
and private equity. I also

1542
01:07:13,525 --> 01:07:14,292
wanted to note that unlike the

1543
01:07:14,292 --> 01:07:15,426
title, one of the amendment is

1544
01:07:15,426 --> 01:07:16,940
actually to remove the

1545
01:07:16,940 --> 01:07:18,940
companion advisory measure.

1546
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:20,310
This is based off of the

1547
01:07:20,310 --> 01:07:23,310
feedback that I received from

1548
01:07:23,203 --> 01:07:25,804
my colleagues in pro bowls.

1549
01:07:25,804 --> 01:07:26,404
We've also added some

1550
01:07:26,404 --> 01:07:28,404
important exemptions to

1551
01:07:30,875 --> 01:07:33,112
closing this loophole. We've

1552
01:07:33,112 --> 01:07:34,380
added exemptions hardships for

1553
01:07:34,380 --> 01:07:36,348
natural persons that are

1554
01:07:36,348 --> 01:07:38,348
experiencing foreclosure. To

1555
01:07:38,750 --> 01:07:39,784
be clear, the intent is not to

1556
01:07:39,784 --> 01:07:41,552
punish the individuals that

1557
01:07:41,552 --> 01:07:43,552
are experiencing foreclosure,

1558
01:07:46,125 --> 01:07:48,826
but to actually tax again,

1559
01:07:48,826 --> 01:07:50,620
these are lenders as well as

1560
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:51,696
private equity in the real

1561
01:07:51,696 --> 01:07:52,530
estate investment trust that

1562
01:07:52,530 --> 01:07:56,130
are acquiring what is what are

1563
01:07:56,801 --> 01:07:57,769
distressed buildings. Housing

1564
01:07:57,769 --> 01:07:58,604
conversions is another

1565
01:07:58,604 --> 01:08:00,472
exemption that we've made. So

1566
01:08:00,472 --> 01:08:03,472
there is an adaptive reuse

1567
01:08:04,576 --> 01:08:05,576
element in this tax measure

1568
01:08:05,576 --> 01:08:07,279
that says the loophole will be

1569
01:08:07,279 --> 01:08:09,547
or the exemption will be

1570
01:08:09,547 --> 01:08:11,160
retained. When, for example,

1571
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:11,749
we're seeing this rise in

1572
01:08:11,749 --> 01:08:13,886
office, buildings that are

1573
01:08:13,886 --> 01:08:15,886
going into foreclosures

1574
01:08:17,790 --> 01:08:18,756
because we we have challenges

1575
01:08:18,756 --> 01:08:19,558
are office buildings. People

1576
01:08:19,558 --> 01:08:20,992
are not going back to work.

1577
01:08:20,992 --> 01:08:21,659
And so if someone acquires

1578
01:08:21,659 --> 01:08:24,590
that building and actually

1579
01:08:24,862 --> 01:08:25,697
converts it into affordable

1580
01:08:25,697 --> 01:08:28,232
housing to interim shelter or

1581
01:08:28,232 --> 01:08:30,680
number of other uses, they

1582
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,680
will receive an exemption from

1583
01:08:33,504 --> 01:08:36,507
the stacks and just I have

1584
01:08:36,507 --> 01:08:38,509
also added an exemption that

1585
01:08:38,509 --> 01:08:40,909
allows authority for council

1586
01:08:40,912 --> 01:08:42,313
to add exemptions later on in

1587
01:08:42,313 --> 01:08:44,713
ordinance basis. The reason

1588
01:08:45,216 --> 01:08:47,218
that proposing this at this

1589
01:08:47,218 --> 01:08:47,920
moment is because we are

1590
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,320
entering a foreclosure cycle

1591
01:08:50,555 --> 01:08:51,222
that will not last forever.

1592
01:08:51,222 --> 01:08:55,422
And I have the data that I

1593
01:08:55,728 --> 01:08:57,795
will. Go through shortly. I

1594
01:08:57,795 --> 01:08:58,497
also want to note that in San

1595
01:08:58,497 --> 01:09:00,897
Francisco, they are also

1596
01:09:02,268 --> 01:09:03,268
proposing a foreclosure tax

1597
01:09:03,268 --> 01:09:05,300
ballot measure. It is it is

1598
01:09:05,300 --> 01:09:06,105
anticipated to raise. And the

1599
01:09:06,105 --> 01:09:09,674
says this estimate is done by

1600
01:09:09,674 --> 01:09:10,376
their control is office

1601
01:09:10,376 --> 01:09:11,276
200 million dollars over the

1602
01:09:11,276 --> 01:09:12,944
next 3 years. Now I recognize

1603
01:09:12,944 --> 01:09:16,147
that our real estate market is

1604
01:09:16,147 --> 01:09:16,815
not exactly this, but

1605
01:09:16,815 --> 01:09:18,883
nonetheless, it shows that

1606
01:09:18,883 --> 01:09:20,840
there is significant revenue

1607
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,840
to be generated from this

1608
01:09:23,655 --> 01:09:24,322
types. This type of closure.

1609
01:09:24,322 --> 01:09:27,425
And not only that, this is

1610
01:09:27,425 --> 01:09:29,194
also about tax equity. Are we

1611
01:09:29,194 --> 01:09:29,961
taxing the individuals and the

1612
01:09:29,961 --> 01:09:31,696
companies in the corporate

1613
01:09:31,696 --> 01:09:32,864
entities that have the most to

1614
01:09:32,864 --> 01:09:33,565
capital. When we talk about

1615
01:09:33,565 --> 01:09:37,165
how to raise revenue for the

1616
01:09:39,710 --> 01:09:41,139
city. I also want to note

1617
01:09:41,139 --> 01:09:42,841
these headlines we're seeing

1618
01:09:42,841 --> 01:09:44,610
again, a rise in foreclosures.

1619
01:09:44,610 --> 01:09:46,778
This is article by The Wall

1620
01:09:46,778 --> 01:09:48,846
Street Journal we're also

1621
01:09:48,846 --> 01:09:49,547
seeing very locally that

1622
01:09:49,547 --> 01:09:51,547
Oakland apartment buildings,

1623
01:09:53,685 --> 01:09:54,352
office buildings are going

1624
01:09:54,352 --> 01:09:55,530
into distress. What is not

1625
01:09:55,530 --> 01:09:57,722
even included in the slide is

1626
01:09:57,722 --> 01:09:58,457
actually the Clorox. Building

1627
01:09:58,457 --> 01:10:01,457
which just announced that it

1628
01:10:02,827 --> 01:10:04,262
was going into foreclosure.

1629
01:10:04,262 --> 01:10:06,699
Also want to know how much

1630
01:10:06,699 --> 01:10:07,832
revenue that we've lost

1631
01:10:07,832 --> 01:10:08,533
because we have not had this

1632
01:10:08,533 --> 01:10:11,533
loophole closed over the last

1633
01:10:11,603 --> 01:10:14,603
number of years in 2024. And

1634
01:10:16,207 --> 01:10:17,443
this is simply I want to know.

1635
01:10:17,443 --> 01:10:18,577
These are transactions that we

1636
01:10:18,577 --> 01:10:20,112
can know in the public record.

1637
01:10:20,112 --> 01:10:22,140
So this isn't news headlines

1638
01:10:22,140 --> 01:10:25,317
you can see here that these

1639
01:10:25,317 --> 01:10:27,419
are a number of properties in

1640
01:10:27,419 --> 01:10:29,522
2024 as well as the range of

1641
01:10:29,522 --> 01:10:30,956
tax revenue that they could

1642
01:10:30,956 --> 01:10:33,359
have born to generate for the

1643
01:10:33,359 --> 01:10:36,359
city. If this tax loophole

1644
01:10:36,728 --> 01:10:38,764
have been closed at that time.

1645
01:10:38,764 --> 01:10:42,364
You can see that there's a

1646
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,800
number 2024 number in 2025 and

1647
01:10:44,804 --> 01:10:45,504
2026 is actually when we're

1648
01:10:45,504 --> 01:10:47,904
seeing a substantial increase

1649
01:10:51,809 --> 01:10:53,878
in those foreclosures. To

1650
01:10:53,878 --> 01:10:56,140
summarize what you're seeing,

1651
01:10:56,140 --> 01:10:57,950
these trends last 3 years is

1652
01:10:57,950 --> 01:10:58,617
that in 2024, low estimate for

1653
01:10:58,617 --> 01:11:01,170
the revenue generated would

1654
01:11:02,254 --> 01:11:02,921
have been 3 million to a high

1655
01:11:02,921 --> 01:11:03,622
estimate of

1656
01:11:03,622 --> 01:11:05,622
7 million 2 thousand 25 that

1657
01:11:07,227 --> 01:11:08,560
would be around 4.9 million to

1658
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,362
nearly 7 million in 2026. And

1659
01:11:10,362 --> 01:11:12,765
this is based off of actual

1660
01:11:12,765 --> 01:11:15,000
transactions that were seen in

1661
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:15,833
the market. This is through So

1662
01:11:15,833 --> 01:11:19,433
this is just through half a

1663
01:11:19,871 --> 01:11:22,641
year alone. We could have

1664
01:11:22,641 --> 01:11:24,641
generated anywhere from 5.4

1665
01:11:25,576 --> 01:11:26,312
million to 24.6 million in 6

1666
01:11:26,312 --> 01:11:29,312
months alone. If that loophole

1667
01:11:30,490 --> 01:11:32,840
had been closed. So I also

1668
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:33,252
want to know this is the

1669
01:11:33,252 --> 01:11:34,190
annualized estimate from

1670
01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:35,387
finance that they are

1671
01:11:35,387 --> 01:11:36,121
comfortable with putting on to

1672
01:11:36,121 --> 01:11:38,824
the ballot. Should we add this

1673
01:11:38,824 --> 01:11:39,524
one to the ballot where it

1674
01:11:39,524 --> 01:11:42,524
would again, because this is

1675
01:11:44,530 --> 01:11:45,998
counter cyclical revenue when

1676
01:11:45,998 --> 01:11:46,698
we are experiencing recessions

1677
01:11:46,698 --> 01:11:48,100
in particular in the city of

1678
01:11:48,100 --> 01:11:49,902
Oakland. We know that that's

1679
01:11:49,902 --> 01:11:50,502
when we have the most

1680
01:11:50,502 --> 01:11:52,902
challenges with our tax

1681
01:11:53,572 --> 01:11:54,273
revenue. That's when our

1682
01:11:54,273 --> 01:11:55,741
standard real estate transfer

1683
01:11:55,741 --> 01:11:59,341
tax experience is low. This is

1684
01:12:00,412 --> 01:12:00,980
a counter cyclical revenue

1685
01:12:00,980 --> 01:12:02,980
generator when we're

1686
01:12:03,820 --> 01:12:05,820
experiencing tough economic

1687
01:12:05,117 --> 01:12:05,684
times. The estimate from

1688
01:12:05,684 --> 01:12:06,985
finance that they are

1689
01:12:06,985 --> 01:12:08,320
comfortable with putting on

1690
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:09,688
the ballot is a low estimate

1691
01:12:09,688 --> 01:12:13,288
of 4.5 million to a high of

1692
01:12:13,359 --> 01:12:14,760
13 Million. I apologize if I

1693
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:15,562
can. Quickly let you know that

1694
01:12:15,562 --> 01:12:16,662
you have one more minute left

1695
01:12:16,662 --> 01:12:20,262
your time. Thanks so much. And

1696
01:12:22,700 --> 01:12:23,370
that's it. Take any questions.

1697
01:12:23,370 --> 01:12:26,437
Thank you. Let's go to the

1698
01:12:26,437 --> 01:12:29,437
public speakers. Thank do you

1699
01:12:33,279 --> 01:12:36,279
want to go potentially a

1700
01:12:37,483 --> 01:12:39,883
friendly amendment. So. Last

1701
01:12:40,253 --> 01:12:40,953
time that rules, I express my

1702
01:12:40,953 --> 01:12:42,186
concern about the definition

1703
01:12:42,186 --> 01:12:43,187
of the community banking

1704
01:12:43,187 --> 01:12:45,587
organization because there are

1705
01:12:46,158 --> 01:12:47,926
plenty of big banks that might

1706
01:12:47,926 --> 01:12:49,280
per the Federal Reserve have

1707
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,280
assets of less than 10 billion

1708
01:12:52,331 --> 01:12:52,998
dollars or those that are

1709
01:12:52,998 --> 01:12:54,300
still predatory investors,

1710
01:12:54,300 --> 01:12:57,300
whether or not they're big

1711
01:12:57,436 --> 01:13:00,436
bank. I don't support this.

1712
01:13:02,741 --> 01:13:03,475
But I think that I would

1713
01:13:03,475 --> 01:13:05,144
prefer council has the ability

1714
01:13:05,144 --> 01:13:08,144
to amend this language center

1715
01:13:11,450 --> 01:13:13,450
section 4 of 20004.0, 0, 5,

1716
01:13:14,420 --> 01:13:16,820
Section f 4. I would.

1717
01:13:19,230 --> 01:13:20,825
Recommend that it. Says City

1718
01:13:20,825 --> 01:13:21,760
and I'm open to the city

1719
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,227
attorneys and put on this. Of

1720
01:13:23,227 --> 01:13:26,227
course, city council made by

1721
01:13:26,231 --> 01:13:27,231
artists, staff establish other

1722
01:13:27,231 --> 01:13:29,631
exceptions or amend. The

1723
01:13:30,269 --> 01:13:32,370
exceptions listed above. So

1724
01:13:32,370 --> 01:13:34,473
that we not only have the

1725
01:13:34,473 --> 01:13:38,730
power to I knew exemptions at

1726
01:13:38,476 --> 01:13:39,177
to the to the tax, but also

1727
01:13:39,177 --> 01:13:40,912
end this as it is. Let's say

1728
01:13:40,912 --> 01:13:42,414
any year we realize there's

1729
01:13:42,414 --> 01:13:43,649
very predatory investors that

1730
01:13:43,649 --> 01:13:46,490
qualify under the 10 billion

1731
01:13:46,685 --> 01:13:47,987
dollar amount who are buying

1732
01:13:47,987 --> 01:13:50,387
up these properties without

1733
01:13:50,889 --> 01:13:53,325
paying a sorry tt that we

1734
01:13:53,325 --> 01:13:55,427
retain the power it. Change

1735
01:13:55,427 --> 01:13:57,427
this exemption. I'm

1736
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,500
comfortable with that. All

1737
01:14:06,500 --> 01:14:08,340
right. Let's get to the public

1738
01:14:08,340 --> 01:14:10,750

their time. I will take those

signed up for item. 5.7

1767
01:15:07,980 --> 01:15:10,698
passing to speak on this item.

1768
01:15:12,972 --> 01:15:14,473
Thank you. So I'm just going

1769
01:15:14,473 --> 01:15:16,842
to use this as an opportunity

1770
01:15:16,842 --> 01:15:18,644
to x people who are going to

1771
01:15:18,644 --> 01:15:21,644
be voting. Make sure you

1772
01:15:21,746 --> 01:15:23,746
understand. Clearly what

1773
01:15:24,449 --> 01:15:25,316
you're voting for or against.

1774
01:15:25,316 --> 01:15:25,783
I just heard something. Don't

1775
01:15:25,783 --> 01:15:25,977
know what the h#

1776
01:15:25,977 --> 01:15:26,159
#

1777
01:15:26,159 --> 01:15:28,159
#

1778
01:15:29,554 --> 01:15:30,756
she And I

1779
01:15:30,756 --> 01:15:31,756
don't. And so when I don't

1780
01:15:31,756 --> 01:15:32,758
understand something that

1781
01:15:32,758 --> 01:15:33,458
r-Idaho and I read it several

1782
01:15:33,458 --> 01:15:36,361
times, but I don't know what

1783
01:15:36,361 --> 01:15:39,640
she's trying to do. And I'm

1784
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,500
not a dummy. But it's not

1785
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:44,500
clear. All I've got is

1786
01:15:46,137 --> 01:15:47,171
foreclosure. Community Bank.

1787
01:15:47,171 --> 01:15:50,771
And trying to help you trying

1788
01:15:51,576 --> 01:15:52,278
to help some kind of way. So

1789
01:15:52,278 --> 01:15:54,680
my recommendation is we need

1790
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:55,381
to do something with the have

1791
01:15:55,381 --> 01:15:56,470
high level of foreclosures of

1792
01:15:56,470 --> 01:15:57,150
these office buildings and

1793
01:15:57,150 --> 01:16:00,615
these hotels and that are in

1794
01:16:02,220 --> 01:16:05,890
the city. Stop the foreclosure

1795
01:16:05,890 --> 01:16:05,791
before it happens was the

1796
01:16:05,791 --> 01:16:07,250
process that can happen? Are

1797
01:16:07,250 --> 01:16:09,930
we talking about they in

1798
01:16:09,930 --> 01:16:09,795
foreclosure? And after that

1799
01:16:09,795 --> 01:16:10,495
process has taken, this is a

1800
01:16:10,495 --> 01:16:13,532
way to do something. I don't

1801
01:16:13,532 --> 01:16:17,132
know. I'm gonna tell you is

1802
01:16:20,705 --> 01:16:21,406
Wang is trying halt of that. I

1803
01:16:21,406 --> 01:16:24,406
apologize. Misses out of your

1804
01:16:30,182 --> 01:16:30,882
time is Thank you so much. If

1805
01:16:30,882 --> 01:16:33,840
I called your name, you here

1806
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,684
in person, please step up to

1807
01:16:37,455 --> 01:16:40,455
the podium for item. 5.7 And

1808
01:16:43,394 --> 01:16:45,363
Jenks district 3. I appreciate

1809
01:16:45,363 --> 01:16:47,990
the conversation about how to

1810
01:16:47,990 --> 01:16:48,833
ensure that that the proposal

1811
01:16:48,833 --> 01:16:50,833
doesn't have unintended

1812
01:16:52,637 --> 01:16:53,338
impacts. But I also appreciate

1813
01:16:53,338 --> 01:16:55,874
the the time that I hope the

1814
01:16:55,874 --> 01:16:57,775
council is willing to take to

1815
01:16:57,775 --> 01:16:58,477
ensure that we do address

1816
01:16:58,477 --> 01:17:01,477
foreclosures in every in any

1817
01:17:02,581 --> 01:17:03,281
way possible. Far as I'm

1818
01:17:03,281 --> 01:17:05,681
concerned, getting some extra

1819
01:17:05,783 --> 01:17:06,484
money out of it is secondary

1820
01:17:06,484 --> 01:17:07,619
to doing everything possible

1821
01:17:07,619 --> 01:17:08,286
to make foreclosures more

1822
01:17:08,286 --> 01:17:11,286
challenging. If you do get

1823
01:17:11,723 --> 01:17:12,925
some money out of it, you

1824
01:17:12,925 --> 01:17:13,825
could also always follow the

1825
01:17:13,825 --> 01:17:14,559
charter and find independent

1826
01:17:14,559 --> 01:17:17,862
oversight. But you fail to do.

1827
01:17:17,862 --> 01:17:18,529
Thank you. Thank you for your

1828
01:17:18,529 --> 01:17:19,231
comments again. If I called

1829
01:17:19,231 --> 01:17:19,965
your name your person, please

1830
01:17:19,965 --> 01:17:22,365
approach the podium. Otherwise

1831
01:17:25,637 --> 01:17:27,740
week. Good afternoon. My name

01:17:27,740 --> 01:17:29,400

01:17:30,708 --> 01:17:33,108
55 years of which 40 years

1835
01:17:33,412 --> 01:17:34,345
Oakland and the last 3, 3 year

1836
01:17:34,345 --> 01:17:36,745
23 years and district 2 trying

1837
01:17:38,583 --> 01:17:41,583
time. I've seen many economic

1838
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:43,550
cycles over last start

1839
01:17:43,550 --> 01:17:45,455
worrying about 50 years, quite

1840
01:17:47,910 --> 01:17:50,910
frankly, a longer look through

1841
01:17:52,463 --> 01:17:53,632
rooms and hear from a 10 k

1842
01:17:53,632 --> 01:17:54,299
boom and the continued growth

1843
01:17:54,299 --> 01:17:56,699
of open. But unfortunately,

1844
01:17:57,268 --> 01:17:58,736
our team to burst there are

1845
01:17:58,736 --> 01:17:59,404
many office for tell an

1846
01:17:59,404 --> 01:18:01,404
apartment foreclosures and

1847
01:18:02,173 --> 01:18:02,908
it's just getting worse. And

1848
01:18:02,908 --> 01:18:05,511
we're we're missing out on

1849
01:18:05,511 --> 01:18:06,211
revenue that word of the virus

1850
01:18:06,211 --> 01:18:09,347
be available. Had it not been

1851
01:18:09,347 --> 01:18:12,347
for Measure I support the

1852
01:18:13,551 --> 01:18:15,920
amendment get more money from

1853
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:16,589
these foreclosures and that

1854
01:18:16,589 --> 01:18:17,990
money to be invested. Will

1855
01:18:17,990 --> 01:18:19,959
have more security fix the

1856
01:18:19,959 --> 01:18:22,994
potholes and make this a more

1857
01:18:22,994 --> 01:18:23,696
livable city and people won't

1858
01:18:23,696 --> 01:18:24,263
be foreclosing on their home

1859
01:18:24,263 --> 01:18:26,263
properties. Compasses

01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,280
District one I approve of

1873
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:58,229
being on the ballot measure

1874
01:18:58,229 --> 01:19:00,131
for this particular reason.

1875
01:19:00,131 --> 01:19:00,832
I'm looking at the the

1876
01:19:00,832 --> 01:19:01,867
executive summary and I want

1877
01:19:01,867 --> 01:19:04,867
to read the second paragraph

1878
01:19:06,170 --> 01:19:06,871
of item 3. And residential

1879
01:19:06,871 --> 01:19:08,871
neighborhoods. National real

1880
01:19:09,608 --> 01:19:12,800
Estate Investment Trust and

1881
01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:13,746
Wall Street hedge funds

1882
01:19:13,746 --> 01:19:14,479
routinely outbid local working

1883
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,879
families, working class family

1884
01:19:17,582 --> 01:19:18,150
as a trustee, options. These

1885
01:19:18,150 --> 01:19:20,150
institutional in buy

1886
01:19:21,190 --> 01:19:23,419
foreclosed starter homes, tax,

1887
01:19:23,489 --> 01:19:25,889
free. This loophole actively

1888
01:19:25,891 --> 01:19:26,591
subsidizes the rapid

1889
01:19:26,591 --> 01:19:28,991
conversion of owner occupied

1890
01:19:29,460 --> 01:19:31,196
housing into corporate owned

1891
01:19:31,196 --> 01:19:31,897
rental portfolios permanently,

1892
01:19:31,897 --> 01:19:33,665
raising the barrier to

1893
01:19:33,665 --> 01:19:36,650
affordable home ownership for

1894
01:19:37,835 --> 01:19:38,836
local residents. I am upset

1895
01:19:38,836 --> 01:19:40,438
that these companies are

1896
01:19:40,438 --> 01:19:41,172
coming in and buying our

1897
01:19:41,172 --> 01:19:42,174
homes. They don't even that

1898
01:19:42,174 --> 01:19:45,174
they're not even an Oakland.

1899
01:19:45,677 --> 01:19:49,877
And so we cannot buy homes in

1900
01:19:53,318 --> 01:19:53,985
Oakland. And they resell them

1901
01:19:53,985 --> 01:19:55,286
apologies. Mifflin or your

1902
01:19:55,286 --> 01:19:55,954
time has ended. We will now

1903
01:19:55,954 --> 01:19:56,621
move on to the next person

1904
01:19:56,621 --> 01:19:59,390
signed up via Zoom. I have

1905
01:19:59,390 --> 01:20:02,390
Joe. Just being Guzman. Your

1906
01:20:04,662 --> 01:20:05,363
meeting to begin. Getting need

1907
01:20:05,363 --> 01:20:07,398
because the PRESIDENT Members

1908
01:20:07,398 --> 01:20:08,900
of the city Council only name

1909
01:20:08,900 --> 01:20:09,901
is just beings mine and I

1910
01:20:09,901 --> 01:20:10,569
serve as the public policy

1911
01:20:10,569 --> 01:20:13,805
manager for the Open up. I

1912
01:20:13,805 --> 01:20:14,641
think Chamber of Commerce.

1913
01:20:14,641 --> 01:20:15,974
We're here just to think

1914
01:20:15,974 --> 01:20:17,974
Councilmember one for

1915
01:20:18,110 --> 01:20:19,212
leadership on this legislation

1916
01:20:19,212 --> 01:20:21,612
and specifically highlight the

1917
01:20:22,247 --> 01:20:24,647
importance of a thoughtful

1918
01:20:25,483 --> 01:20:26,117
stakeholder engagement process

1919
01:20:26,117 --> 01:20:28,319
is on ensuring community

1920
01:20:28,319 --> 01:20:30,255
printers have the opportunity

1921
01:20:30,255 --> 01:20:31,890
to provide meaningful The open

1922
01:20:31,890 --> 01:20:33,890
chamber appreciates be

1923
01:20:33,292 --> 01:20:35,461
included as a stakeholder in

1924
01:20:35,461 --> 01:20:37,861
having opportunity to share

1925
01:20:38,396 --> 01:20:39,131
perspectives on the business

1926
01:20:39,131 --> 01:20:39,764
have of the business community

1927
01:20:39,764 --> 01:20:40,465
has questions and better

1928
01:20:40,465 --> 01:20:42,465
understand the considerations

1929
01:20:43,901 --> 01:20:44,837
behind legislation. We believe

1930
01:20:44,837 --> 01:20:46,337
strong stakeholder engagement

1931
01:20:46,337 --> 01:20:48,239
is essential for developing

1932
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:50,475
these effective policies and

1933
01:20:50,475 --> 01:20:51,743
green together voices, though.

1934
01:20:51,743 --> 01:20:55,343
Thank you for your time in

1935
01:20:56,314 --> 01:20:57,160
where she from Thank you for

1936
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:57,715
your comments. We will now go

1937
01:20:57,715 --> 01:21:00,954
to the next speaker. I have a

1938
01:21:00,954 --> 01:21:04,554
while. You new to Begin. You

1939
01:21:06,291 --> 01:21:06,991
would need to. My name is

1940
01:21:06,991 --> 01:21:09,361
plowed campus from district 4

1941
01:21:09,361 --> 01:21:12,361
just keep this short. Thank

1942
01:21:15,667 --> 01:21:16,701
you. City Council for it and

1943
01:21:16,701 --> 01:21:18,503
the city council very much.

1944
01:21:18,503 --> 01:21:20,205
And I hope you this resolution

1945
01:21:20,205 --> 01:21:21,840
in support of the foreclosure

1946
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:22,407
tax to stabilize housing and I

1947
01:21:22,407 --> 01:21:24,807
hope it will prevent

1948
01:21:25,777 --> 01:21:27,846
homelessness. Thank you. Thank

1949
01:21:27,846 --> 01:21:28,546
you so much for your comments.

1950
01:21:28,546 --> 01:21:32,146
I have next Kevin Talley, you

1951
01:21:35,554 --> 01:21:38,554
eat yourself begin. It Kevin

1952
01:21:40,491 --> 01:21:41,327
de Creme de for I think this

1953
01:21:41,327 --> 01:21:44,327
tax is a really interesting

1954
01:21:45,130 --> 01:21:47,665
idea. I concerned that like so

1955
01:21:47,665 --> 01:21:48,400
many Oakland taxes, the money

1956
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,902
is going into the general fund

1957
01:21:50,902 --> 01:21:53,805
with a recommendation that be

1958
01:21:53,805 --> 01:21:56,205
used for specific purposes.

1959
01:21:57,750 --> 01:21:58,430
And the council has a habit.

1960
01:21:58,430 --> 01:22:00,746
Pretty much every year during

1961
01:22:00,746 --> 01:22:03,746
budget plan override and the

1962
01:22:04,582 --> 01:22:05,183
suggested purpose. Let's be

1963
01:22:05,183 --> 01:22:08,183
honest here. If it goes

1964
01:22:08,553 --> 01:22:10,688
before. The poor, the boaters

1965
01:22:10,688 --> 01:22:13,880
just removed the closet

1966
01:22:14,826 --> 01:22:15,526
suggested you sins and print

1967
01:22:15,526 --> 01:22:18,526
admitted going to the general

1968
01:22:21,366 --> 01:22:22,367
fund. My other concern is

1969
01:22:22,367 --> 01:22:24,570
having this tax on the

1970
01:22:24,570 --> 01:22:25,603
NOVEMBER ballot, the same time

1971
01:22:25,603 --> 01:22:28,603
as ac Transit tax He

1972
01:22:31,420 --> 01:22:33,780
previously. Would be a problem

1973
01:22:33,780 --> 01:22:33,811
when there's multiple taxes on

1974
01:22:33,811 --> 01:22:37,411
the ballot. The same time that

1975
01:22:38,820 --> 01:22:39,451
reduces the chances of any.

1976
01:22:39,451 --> 01:22:40,485
Thank you for your comments.

1977
01:22:40,485 --> 01:22:41,153
We have a clear Beekman. Up

1978
01:22:41,153 --> 01:22:44,153
next. You you something big

1979
01:22:49,260 --> 01:22:49,894
in. I Thanks for the words of

1980
01:22:49,894 --> 01:22:52,765
Kevin who? Yeah, I wanted

1981
01:22:52,765 --> 01:22:55,660
opinion as well. Thank you for

1982
01:22:55,660 --> 01:22:56,968
that. Also mentioned a public

1983
01:22:56,968 --> 01:22:58,203
comment at this item can be

1984
01:22:58,203 --> 01:23:00,603
used the foreclosure process

1985
01:23:01,739 --> 01:23:03,474
can be taken over by corporate

1986
01:23:03,474 --> 01:23:05,343
structures and glow

1987
01:23:05,343 --> 01:23:06,780
homeowners. That's an

1988
01:23:06,780 --> 01:23:08,179
interesting concept. I mean, I

1989
01:23:08,179 --> 01:23:09,414
want to support this measure

1990
01:23:09,414 --> 01:23:13,614
and I prefer to call it a

1991
01:23:14,850 --> 01:23:15,219
measure wind. So measure x to

1992
01:23:15,219 --> 01:23:15,920
be supportive, but it is an

1993
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:16,922
experiment. If this was done

1994
01:23:16,922 --> 01:23:19,322
by Republican Party person,

1995
01:23:20,459 --> 01:23:21,894
I'd be very careful of it. But

1996
01:23:21,894 --> 01:23:22,561
I am trying a good intentions

1997
01:23:22,561 --> 01:23:24,362
of what a Democratic Party

1998
01:23:24,362 --> 01:23:27,362
person offering this can do.

1999
01:23:28,199 --> 01:23:29,601
And just that how we talk

2000
01:23:29,601 --> 01:23:31,436
about the funding, what it's

2001
01:23:31,436 --> 01:23:32,404
used for. I mean, we can make

2002
01:23:32,404 --> 01:23:34,804
your specific guidelines, do

2003
01:23:36,140 --> 01:23:37,475
not use it enforcement,

2004
01:23:37,475 --> 01:23:38,344
homeless enforcement, that's

2005
01:23:38,344 --> 01:23:40,111
the direction I would like to

2006
01:23:40,111 --> 01:23:40,779
work not with litter

2007
01:23:40,779 --> 01:23:42,114
enforcement. But with, you

2008
01:23:42,114 --> 01:23:42,814
know, a more positive,

2009
01:23:42,814 --> 01:23:44,814
constructive programs. Maybe

2010
01:23:45,750 --> 01:23:46,585
that can be a safeguard. Thank

2011
01:23:46,585 --> 01:23:48,487
you for your comments. And I

2012
01:23:48,487 --> 01:23:51,487
have Dan Cole. He manages

2013
01:23:54,927 --> 01:23:56,940
something begin. Thank

2014
01:23:56,940 --> 01:23:57,962
MADAM Clerk, I respectfully

2015
01:23:57,962 --> 01:23:58,663
urge City Council members to

2016
01:23:58,663 --> 01:23:59,298
support this proposed ballot

2017
01:23:59,298 --> 01:24:01,698
measure which amends real

2018
01:24:01,867 --> 01:24:03,135
estate transfer tax measure x

2019
01:24:03,135 --> 01:24:04,736
to effectively close the

2020
01:24:04,736 --> 01:24:05,937
loophole and therefore ensure

2021
01:24:05,937 --> 01:24:06,772
that large banks and big

2022
01:24:06,772 --> 01:24:08,573
business investors are not

2023
01:24:08,573 --> 01:24:10,475
given a free pass when real

2024
01:24:10,475 --> 01:24:12,410
property is to a foreclosure,

2025
01:24:12,410 --> 01:24:14,545
I believe that this could

2026
01:24:14,545 --> 01:24:17,316
raise one to 3 million dollars

2027
01:24:17,316 --> 01:24:18,249
a annually for the general

2028
01:24:18,249 --> 01:24:19,417
purpose funding for vital

2029
01:24:19,417 --> 01:24:20,385
public services and some years

2030
01:24:20,385 --> 01:24:21,786
even more when large

2031
01:24:21,786 --> 01:24:22,787
commercial properties become

2032
01:24:22,787 --> 01:24:24,422
subject to foreclosure, which

2033
01:24:24,422 --> 01:24:26,492
has indeed happened. Post

2034
01:24:26,492 --> 01:24:28,492
covid. Interestingly, this

2035
01:24:29,460 --> 01:24:30,228
could also from time to time

2036
01:24:30,228 --> 01:24:32,463
have a consequence of

2037
01:24:32,463 --> 01:24:33,564
incentivizing large banks to

2038
01:24:33,564 --> 01:24:35,433
avoid foreclosure of

2039
01:24:35,433 --> 01:24:36,834
residential homes in order

2040
01:24:36,834 --> 01:24:38,303
avoid this tax. This might

2041
01:24:38,303 --> 01:24:39,771
mean that homeowners could be

2042
01:24:39,771 --> 01:24:41,607
given more flexibility with

2043
01:24:41,607 --> 01:24:42,675
payment plans instead of

2044
01:24:42,675 --> 01:24:43,841
sudden sudden foreclosure.

2045
01:24:43,841 --> 01:24:47,345
That's a good thing to stack

2046
01:24:47,345 --> 01:24:48,546
chains to this tax change we

2047
01:24:48,546 --> 01:24:49,482
only paid for by a very small

2048
01:24:49,482 --> 01:24:51,883
number entities such as larger

2049
01:24:51,883 --> 01:24:52,584
banks, not the broad public

2050
01:24:52,584 --> 01:24:56,540
urgent it vote to put this on

2051
01:24:56,540 --> 01:24:58,323
the ballot. Thank you for your

2052
01:24:58,323 --> 01:24:59,724
comments. I have Barbara

2053
01:24:59,724 --> 01:25:00,425

2056

thank you so much.

2059
01:25:13,739 --> 01:25:14,372
Councilmember along for

2060
01:25:14,372 --> 01:25:17,372
bringing the item. I know

2061
01:25:17,610 --> 01:25:18,309
we've had the opportunity to

2062
01:25:18,309 --> 01:25:21,309
ask many questions and engage

2063
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:22,947
on this I kept my questions

2064
01:25:22,947 --> 01:25:25,384
brief. I'm also supportive of

2065
01:25:25,384 --> 01:25:27,419
the friendly amendment that

2066
01:25:27,419 --> 01:25:29,419
councilmember Ramachandran

2067
01:25:29,455 --> 01:25:32,691
uplifted. I did want to get an

2068
01:25:32,691 --> 01:25:33,392
update on the additional

2069
01:25:33,392 --> 01:25:34,359
community engagement that you

2070
01:25:34,359 --> 01:25:34,994
are able to do on this. If you

2071
01:25:34,994 --> 01:25:37,994
wanted to just share that

2072
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:44,302
publicly. Yeah, absolutely. So

2073
01:25:44,302 --> 01:25:45,371
these are the groups that have

2074
01:25:45,371 --> 01:25:47,106
been engaged on this topic,

2075
01:25:47,106 --> 01:25:50,106
Chamber of commerce. You heard

2076
01:25:50,508 --> 01:25:52,677
from. We also spoke with bid

2077
01:25:52,677 --> 01:25:55,677
alliance, the East Bay Housing

2078
01:25:56,781 --> 01:25:58,850
Authority, Hara, which is the

2079
01:25:58,850 --> 01:25:59,485
housing and economic relief.

2080
01:25:59,485 --> 01:26:00,752
Well, anyways, let me not

2081
01:26:00,752 --> 01:26:03,152
spell out that organization,

2082
01:26:03,522 --> 01:26:04,689
but they basically do focus on

2083
01:26:04,689 --> 01:26:07,890
foreclosure policy as well

2084
01:26:08,660 --> 01:26:10,496
just housing affordability.

2085
01:26:10,496 --> 01:26:11,763
Well, clubs here, club East

2086
01:26:11,763 --> 01:26:14,300
Bay for everyone, the the in

2087
01:26:14,300 --> 01:26:15,934
the group's east Amb. We also

2088
01:26:15,934 --> 01:26:16,634
spoke with Housing Action

2089
01:26:16,634 --> 01:26:19,340
Coalition. They've a neutral

2090
01:26:20,939 --> 01:26:22,507
position on this as well as

2091
01:26:22,507 --> 01:26:24,507
other organizations

2092
01:26:26,244 --> 01:26:28,644
individuals like former now

2093
01:26:29,248 --> 01:26:30,415
now supervisor Bass former

2094
01:26:30,415 --> 01:26:31,950
City Council PRESIDENT Nikki

2095
01:26:31,950 --> 01:26:33,718
Fortunato Bas who is also

2096
01:26:33,718 --> 01:26:34,519
exploring this measure during

2097
01:26:34,519 --> 01:26:38,119
her tenure. And then also I

2098
01:26:38,356 --> 01:26:39,291
just want to mention that we

2099
01:26:39,291 --> 01:26:39,958
also engaged with stakeholders

2100
01:26:39,958 --> 01:26:42,594
in San Francisco as well as

2101
01:26:42,594 --> 01:26:43,162
our city attorney spoke

2102
01:26:43,162 --> 01:26:43,795
directly with the San

2103
01:26:43,795 --> 01:26:45,795
Francisco City attorney's

2104
01:26:47,498 --> 01:26:48,633
office on this item. Thanks,

2105
01:26:48,633 --> 01:26:49,435
Lynn, in the update for the

2106
01:26:49,435 --> 01:26:52,435
city and county of San

2107
01:26:52,437 --> 01:26:53,172
Francisco is that they are

2108
01:26:53,172 --> 01:26:55,140
also moving for word this item

2109
01:26:55,140 --> 01:26:55,873
on NOVEMBER ballot. Correct?

2110
01:26:55,873 --> 01:26:58,273
Correct? Yep. Excellent. Thank

2111
01:27:05,417 --> 01:27:07,186
you. Temps tell you, Michael.

2112
01:27:07,186 --> 01:27:07,852
Thank you. And I did follow

2113
01:27:07,852 --> 01:27:10,188
the foreclosure tax pellet

2114
01:27:10,188 --> 01:27:11,556
development in San Francisco

2115
01:27:11,556 --> 01:27:13,956
and certainly considering the

2116
01:27:14,158 --> 01:27:15,160
emergencies that we have in

2117
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:15,727
our neighborhoods. I am in

2118
01:27:15,727 --> 01:27:16,427
full support of this

2119
01:27:16,427 --> 01:27:18,396
initiative and thank you for

2120
01:27:18,396 --> 01:27:20,796
your leadership. Thank you.

2121
01:27:22,533 --> 01:27:23,368
Thank you. Councilmember Guy.

2122
01:27:23,368 --> 01:27:25,271
And then I also wanted to

2123
01:27:25,271 --> 01:27:27,472
address some of the public

2124
01:27:27,472 --> 01:27:28,172
comment. There was one comment

2125
01:27:28,172 --> 01:27:30,410
that, well, we are taking off

2126
01:27:30,410 --> 01:27:32,877
the advisory measure because I

2127
01:27:32,877 --> 01:27:33,545
think it's it anyways. It be

2128
01:27:33,545 --> 01:27:36,614
more Democratic. If we as a

2129
01:27:36,614 --> 01:27:37,816
body then decide on what to

2130
01:27:37,816 --> 01:27:38,517
use with the revenue right

2131
01:27:38,517 --> 01:27:41,186
instead of what I proposed in

2132
01:27:41,186 --> 01:27:41,820
its original form with the

2133
01:27:41,820 --> 01:27:43,655
advisory measure with the

2134
01:27:43,655 --> 01:27:44,555
intent to use it focused on

2135
01:27:44,555 --> 01:27:46,257
interim shelter. The other

2136
01:27:46,257 --> 01:27:48,393
piece that I wanted to touch

2137
01:27:48,393 --> 01:27:51,196
upon is which is what Dan Kalb

2138
01:27:51,196 --> 01:27:52,230
spoke to on the phone, which

2139
01:27:52,230 --> 01:27:54,866
is right now we have this

2140
01:27:54,866 --> 01:27:57,866
loophole in our tax policies.

2141
01:27:58,370 --> 01:27:58,636
It's actually incentivized for

2142
01:27:58,636 --> 01:28:01,360
thanks to move towards

2143
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:03,241
foreclosure instead of trying

2144
01:28:03,241 --> 01:28:05,310
to negotiate a better loan or

2145
01:28:05,310 --> 01:28:06,377
a short sale or something that

2146
01:28:06,377 --> 01:28:06,945
would avoid someone going to

2147
01:28:06,945 --> 01:28:07,612
foreclosure and then

2148
01:28:07,612 --> 01:28:10,612
experiencing a hit to their

2149
01:28:13,419 --> 01:28:14,419
credit score. Councilmember

2150
01:28:14,419 --> 01:28:15,787
Fife. Yes, there are 2 things

2151
01:28:15,787 --> 01:28:19,387
i would like to through the

2152
01:28:20,625 --> 01:28:21,459
chair. Some commentary by our

2153
01:28:21,459 --> 01:28:22,994
finance director of if Bradley

2154
01:28:22,994 --> 01:28:25,994
Johnson is still available, it

2155
01:28:26,365 --> 01:28:27,980
was just like to get an

2156
01:28:27,980 --> 01:28:28,866
understanding of the finances

2157
01:28:28,866 --> 01:28:30,866
because the presentation

2158
01:28:31,869 --> 01:28:33,905
stated that. Finance was

2159
01:28:33,905 --> 01:28:34,973
comfortable with certain

2160
01:28:34,973 --> 01:28:38,376
numbers. But I want to know

2161
01:28:38,376 --> 01:28:40,776
finance is confident with

2162
01:28:40,812 --> 01:28:41,980
certain numbers because if I'm

2163
01:28:41,980 --> 01:28:44,980
being honest, this type of

2164
01:28:45,116 --> 01:28:47,218
legislation is right up my

2165
01:28:47,218 --> 01:28:48,786
alley I appreciate the

2166
01:28:48,786 --> 01:28:51,356
opportunity to have weighed in

2167
01:28:51,356 --> 01:28:52,560
on it in the rules committee.

2168
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,656
But if I'm being honest, I

2169
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:56,462
feel extremely rush on this

2170
01:28:56,462 --> 01:28:58,862
legislation and it's changed

2171
01:28:58,864 --> 01:29:00,965
so many times. I'm struggling

2172
01:29:00,965 --> 01:29:03,365
with understanding what is.

2173
01:29:04,469 --> 01:29:07,373
With this legislation. I think

2174
01:29:07,373 --> 01:29:08,574
the intention is spot on an

2175
01:29:08,574 --> 01:29:11,574
absolutely correct. And a lot

2176
01:29:12,477 --> 01:29:14,379
of properties that were listed

2177
01:29:14,379 --> 01:29:15,130
in the presentation are in

2178
01:29:15,130 --> 01:29:16,915
district 3. And so it is

2179
01:29:16,915 --> 01:29:19,315
absolutely vital that we

2180
01:29:22,754 --> 01:29:23,755
address these challenges. But

2181
01:29:23,755 --> 01:29:25,523
I'm concerned about the nature

2182
01:29:25,523 --> 01:29:29,270
in the way that this was

2183
01:29:29,270 --> 01:29:30,862
presented and how many times

2184
01:29:30,862 --> 01:29:34,462
it's changed as to what is

2185
01:29:34,532 --> 01:29:36,601
actual and the ballot language

2186
01:29:36,601 --> 01:29:37,468
in now, I'm trying to to

2187
01:29:37,468 --> 01:29:39,868
really scrutinize what goes

2188
01:29:40,272 --> 01:29:44,472
before our voters. And so if I

2189
01:29:44,510 --> 01:29:46,111
could do the Director Johnson,

2190
01:29:46,111 --> 01:29:47,412
if you could articulate your

2191
01:29:47,412 --> 01:29:49,814
confidence in the numbers that

2192
01:29:49,814 --> 01:29:50,482
were associated with this

2193
01:29:50,482 --> 01:29:52,160
initiative in terms of what

2194
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,486
the city can yield. And an

2195
01:29:54,486 --> 01:29:56,886
annual allocation to the

2196
01:29:58,423 --> 01:29:59,358
General Purpose Fund

2197
01:29:59,358 --> 01:30:00,590
understood. So the rains I

2198
01:30:00,590 --> 01:30:03,261
believe in the report is that

2199
01:30:03,261 --> 01:30:03,928
4 to 13 million dollar range,

2200
01:30:03,928 --> 01:30:05,930
that is a reasonable range

2201
01:30:05,930 --> 01:30:09,530
based on all the data we've

2202
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,100
collected exemption,

2203
01:30:13,500 --> 01:30:14,807
elimination and servants in

2204
01:30:14,807 --> 01:30:15,740
out will vary a lot year to

2205
01:30:15,740 --> 01:30:19,340
year. Are att is already our

2206
01:30:19,577 --> 01:30:21,579
most volatile revenue source.

2207
01:30:21,579 --> 01:30:22,247
And this particular item will

2208
01:30:22,247 --> 01:30:24,647
likely be counter cyclical.

2209
01:30:25,384 --> 01:30:26,840
What I mean by that is

2210
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:26,785
normally real estate transfer

2211
01:30:26,785 --> 01:30:29,621
tax booms when the market is

2212
01:30:29,621 --> 01:30:30,321
going up. This would tack

2213
01:30:30,321 --> 01:30:31,522
certain kinds of foreclosures

2214
01:30:31,522 --> 01:30:33,922
which inherently happened in

2215
01:30:34,660 --> 01:30:36,561
down markets. And so it will

2216
01:30:36,561 --> 01:30:38,263
only be in the periods you we

2217
01:30:38,263 --> 01:30:40,732
MAY go years where we realize

2218
01:30:40,732 --> 01:30:43,636
that we're go back to like the

2219
01:30:43,636 --> 01:30:45,400
late 20 teens time you

2220
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:45,872
probably would collect almost

2221
01:30:45,872 --> 01:30:47,138
nothing from this because the

2222
01:30:47,138 --> 01:30:47,840
market was very hot. And so

2223
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,608
why would you ever foreclose?

2224
01:30:50,608 --> 01:30:51,809
You just do a sale. But when

2225
01:30:51,809 --> 01:30:54,398
you have a boss like we're

2226
01:30:54,398 --> 01:30:54,571
going back to 2008, when the

2227
01:30:54,571 --> 01:30:56,447
market fell out, this within

2228
01:30:56,447 --> 01:30:57,516
raise lots of revenue. And so

2229
01:30:57,516 --> 01:30:59,485
the fact that there's a

2230
01:30:59,485 --> 01:31:00,418
spectrum on that is real, it

2231
01:31:00,418 --> 01:31:02,253
will be their year. There will

2232
01:31:02,253 --> 01:31:04,322
likely some amount of turnover

2233
01:31:04,322 --> 01:31:04,989
every year. I think that 4 to

2234
01:31:04,989 --> 01:31:06,658
13 million dollar range is

2235
01:31:06,658 --> 01:31:08,893
reasonable. And I do think it

2236
01:31:08,893 --> 01:31:09,628
will move in that range year

2237
01:31:09,628 --> 01:31:11,397
to year. I don't think there's

2238
01:31:11,397 --> 01:31:13,164
a way of painting down a more

2239
01:31:13,164 --> 01:31:13,832
stable number. This is likely

2240
01:31:13,832 --> 01:31:14,499
to yield the revenue. It is

2241
01:31:14,499 --> 01:31:15,166
just removing the exemption

2242
01:31:15,166 --> 01:31:18,166
that exists in our current

2243
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:23,441
code. And what authority do we

2244
01:31:23,441 --> 01:31:24,760
have to say that this revenue

2245
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:27,760
will be for the specific

2246
01:31:27,913 --> 01:31:29,881
purpose? As I understand it

2247
01:31:29,881 --> 01:31:30,782
right now, this is being

2248
01:31:30,782 --> 01:31:31,784
proposed to general tax. And

2249
01:31:31,784 --> 01:31:35,587
so it would go to hear General

2250
01:31:35,587 --> 01:31:36,220
purpose Fund. So it would just

2251
01:31:36,220 --> 01:31:36,921
like all your other real

2252
01:31:36,921 --> 01:31:39,157
estate transfer tax. Doesn't

2253
01:31:39,157 --> 01:31:40,590
your general purpose fund

2254
01:31:40,590 --> 01:31:40,758
that? We think about it. What

2255
01:31:40,758 --> 01:31:43,528
would be my if you go back to

2256
01:31:43,528 --> 01:31:45,496
your budget years every year

2257
01:31:45,496 --> 01:31:46,998
of your jeep of your gps, rtd

2258
01:31:46,998 --> 01:31:47,632
number, it would be 4 to

2259
01:31:47,632 --> 01:31:49,632
13 million dollars higher

2260
01:31:49,701 --> 01:31:51,937
depending on the context the

2261
01:31:51,937 --> 01:31:52,971
market. And as I mentioned

2262
01:31:52,971 --> 01:31:54,139
earlier, you're likely to see

2263
01:31:54,139 --> 01:31:57,739
more of that 13 side in down

2264
01:31:57,742 --> 01:32:00,142
markets probably buffers our

2265
01:32:00,878 --> 01:32:01,579
lows, but it probably doesn't

2266
01:32:01,579 --> 01:32:02,681
increases your risk for highs

2267
01:32:02,681 --> 01:32:03,414
very much because when you're

2268
01:32:03,414 --> 01:32:05,217
really upmarket, you're likely

2269
01:32:05,217 --> 01:32:08,622
to see a lot of these kind of

2270
01:32:08,622 --> 01:32:09,354
foreclosures. But we can't out

2271
01:32:09,354 --> 01:32:11,290
maybe be more direct. We can't

2272
01:32:11,290 --> 01:32:12,230
say that this will solve

2273
01:32:12,230 --> 01:32:15,230
homelessness or this will act.

2274
01:32:15,270 --> 01:32:17,128
We can actually guarantee that

2275
01:32:17,128 --> 01:32:18,998
these funds go to address

2276
01:32:18,998 --> 01:32:20,531
homelessness, you would have

2277
01:32:20,531 --> 01:32:21,232
to do the allocation of these

2278
01:32:21,232 --> 01:32:23,632
resource your budget process

2279
01:32:24,837 --> 01:32:25,870
to general tax. If you were to

2280
01:32:25,870 --> 01:32:27,805
restrict its usage in the

2281
01:32:27,805 --> 01:32:28,473
ballot measure itself, it

2282
01:32:28,473 --> 01:32:29,207
would become a special tax.

2283
01:32:29,207 --> 01:32:32,807
And that's a different kind of

2284
01:32:33,144 --> 01:32:35,147
measure. 2 Yes, a special

2285
01:32:35,147 --> 01:32:36,281
Two-thirds measure and there

2286
01:32:36,281 --> 01:32:37,448
are some recent restrictions

2287
01:32:37,448 --> 01:32:39,840
that have likely come about at

2288
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:40,451
the state level regarding

2289
01:32:40,451 --> 01:32:41,119
special taxes involving our

2290
01:32:41,119 --> 01:32:43,522
att that are a result of a

2291
01:32:43,522 --> 01:32:44,255
negotiation with the governor

2292
01:32:44,255 --> 01:32:47,255
and legislature. About much of

2293
01:32:48,359 --> 01:32:49,627
a point to the state level.

2294
01:32:49,627 --> 01:32:50,295
It's a more complicated

2295
01:32:50,295 --> 01:32:50,962
question for a special tax

2296
01:32:50,962 --> 01:32:52,864
start it a general tax that

2297
01:32:52,864 --> 01:32:56,968
and in this case. It's not so

2298
01:32:56,968 --> 01:32:57,702
much imposing. A new tax, but

2299
01:32:57,702 --> 01:32:58,403
eliminating loopholes, a

2300
01:32:58,403 --> 01:33:00,139
loophole or an exemption that

2301
01:33:00,139 --> 01:33:02,173
exists in our current tax

2302
01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:03,740
structure is a different

2303
01:33:03,740 --> 01:33:04,209
space. And so it's more it's

2304
01:33:04,209 --> 01:33:05,900
likely to be justifiable at

2305
01:33:05,900 --> 01:33:07,409
the 50% margin find its

2306
01:33:07,746 --> 01:33:08,279
general. Thank you. Excellent.

2307
01:33:08,279 --> 01:33:10,679
Thank you so much.

2308
01:33:12,951 --> 01:33:14,951
Councilmember Houston. To

2309
01:33:16,754 --> 01:33:18,456
chair Brown, MADAM City Clerk.

2310
01:33:18,456 --> 01:33:19,570
I'll second that if if if

2311
01:33:19,570 --> 01:33:21,457
council member Jim 90's

2312
01:33:21,559 --> 01:33:23,610
amendments are in that. Do we

2313
01:33:23,610 --> 01:33:26,661
have a motion already on the

2314
01:33:27,699 --> 01:33:29,200
floor from Councilmember?

2315
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:29,934
Councilmember Waugh. I can go

2316
01:33:29,934 --> 01:33:31,803
ahead and make a motion. I did

2317
01:33:31,803 --> 01:33:33,806
before I make a motion. Just

2318
01:33:33,806 --> 01:33:36,806
want to quickly respond to

2319
01:33:36,942 --> 01:33:38,911
also my colleague's questions

2320
01:33:38,911 --> 01:33:40,211
around this. Just a special

2321
01:33:40,211 --> 01:33:40,846
fund allocation. That is

2322
01:33:40,846 --> 01:33:41,546
something I did actually

2323
01:33:41,546 --> 01:33:44,546
explore. And that would have

2324
01:33:45,483 --> 01:33:46,500
been my preference. However,

2325
01:33:46,500 --> 01:33:48,500
beyond the two-thirds

2326
01:33:48,860 --> 01:33:50,121
threshold, it's also legally

2327
01:33:50,121 --> 01:33:51,890
not allowable. This kind of

2328
01:33:51,890 --> 01:33:51,723
closure of a loophole requires

2329
01:33:51,723 --> 01:33:55,323
this to go to the general

2330
01:33:55,827 --> 01:33:56,527
fund. And so that's why you

2331
01:33:56,527 --> 01:33:57,196
saw a special advisory

2332
01:33:57,196 --> 01:33:59,264
companion measure, which is

2333
01:33:59,264 --> 01:34:00,298
ultimately nonbinding and

2334
01:34:00,298 --> 01:34:01,966
seemed like it was not worth

2335
01:34:01,966 --> 01:34:05,104
the cost to do that. So that's

2336
01:34:05,104 --> 01:34:07,106
why I'm removing that in the

2337
01:34:07,106 --> 01:34:07,805
U.S. Version. That is before

2338
01:34:07,805 --> 01:34:09,708
you. And so it is really just

2339
01:34:09,708 --> 01:34:10,975
going to the general fund and

2340
01:34:10,975 --> 01:34:15,481
then if we do put this on the

2341
01:34:15,481 --> 01:34:16,916
ballot, we then can put

2342
01:34:16,916 --> 01:34:17,616
forward the a budget

2343
01:34:17,616 --> 01:34:18,817
resolution. What the what the

2344
01:34:18,817 --> 01:34:19,884
proposed allocation is and I

2345
01:34:19,884 --> 01:34:23,484
would like a portion of that

2346
01:34:23,822 --> 01:34:24,822
to go to homelessness. So

2347
01:34:24,822 --> 01:34:25,724
excellent. Thank you so much.

2348
01:34:25,724 --> 01:34:26,624
Would you like to make the

2349
01:34:26,624 --> 01:34:30,224
motion? And yes, and I will

2350
01:34:30,995 --> 01:34:32,300
make the motion adopting the

2351
01:34:32,300 --> 01:34:32,730
amendment from councilmember

2352
01:34:32,730 --> 01:34:35,660
Remy Chandran. Excellent. And

2353
01:34:35,660 --> 01:34:36,200
do we have a second

2354
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:36,901
councilmember Houston and then

2355
01:34:36,901 --> 01:34:38,901
Councilmember Robert 100. If

2356
01:34:41,974 --> 01:34:42,941
you have a question.

2357
01:34:42,941 --> 01:34:43,574
Parliament that can I read in

2358
01:34:43,574 --> 01:34:45,974
the exact language. Okay.

2359
01:34:48,279 --> 01:34:48,980
Great. Thank you so just

2360
01:34:48,980 --> 01:34:51,380
clarifying the amendment that

2361
01:34:53,352 --> 01:34:53,952
I read in for section for city

2362
01:34:53,952 --> 01:34:54,920
Council made ordinance

2363
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:56,920
establish other exceptions.

2364
01:34:58,222 --> 01:34:58,991
This is the new park and

2365
01:34:58,991 --> 01:35:01,927
slashed or amend or remove

2366
01:35:01,927 --> 01:35:03,162
exceptions, listed above and

2367
01:35:03,162 --> 01:35:04,430
then goes on to the tax

2368
01:35:04,430 --> 01:35:05,130
imposed by this chapter for

2369
01:35:05,130 --> 01:35:07,130
foreclosure related transfer

2370
01:35:11,436 --> 01:35:12,303
by amendment subsection f. And

2371
01:35:12,303 --> 01:35:14,907
there was a motion by

2372
01:35:14,907 --> 01:35:16,700
COUNCILMAN. My apologies.

2373
01:35:16,700 --> 01:35:19,700
Sorry, MADAM Clerk through the

2374
01:35:20,110 --> 01:35:22,547
chair to the council, we would

2375
01:35:22,547 --> 01:35:23,215
also like to read in an

2376
01:35:23,215 --> 01:35:24,716
amendment to the resolution

2377
01:35:24,716 --> 01:35:25,918
just will capture the ballot

2378
01:35:25,918 --> 01:35:27,819
question, which is in all the

2379
01:35:27,819 --> 01:35:28,686
resolutions for ballot

2380
01:35:28,686 --> 01:35:32,286
measures. So I can read that.

2381
01:35:34,994 --> 01:35:35,994
And at this time, yes. Okay.

2382
01:35:35,994 --> 01:35:39,594
This would be in the second

2383
01:35:40,531 --> 01:35:41,300
resolved clause. There's a box

2384
01:35:41,300 --> 01:35:43,169
there that says ballot

2385
01:35:43,169 --> 01:35:46,204
question and then we'd like to

2386
01:35:46,204 --> 01:35:47,640
insert the following language

2387
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,141
shall the measure. Amending

2388
01:35:49,141 --> 01:35:50,308

Transfer tax ordinance to

2390
01:35:50,975 --> 01:35:52,975

2391
01:35:53,111 --> 01:35:54,846
exception for all property

2392
01:35:54,846 --> 01:35:55,581
transfers except transfers

2393
01:35:55,581 --> 01:35:57,415
converting commercial property

2394
01:35:57,415 --> 01:35:58,750
to certain housing or health

2395
01:35:58,750 --> 01:36:00,451
care uses transfers to

2396
01:36:00,451 --> 01:36:01,787
community banking

2397
01:36:01,787 --> 01:36:02,420
organizations and certain

2398
01:36:02,420 --> 01:36:04,420

2400
01:36:09,327 --> 01:36:10,362
Or last and allowing the city

2401
01:36:10,362 --> 01:36:12,397
Council to establish for

2402
01:36:12,397 --> 01:36:14,397

Belair Beekman. This is out of

2562
01:42:14,659 --> 01:42:17,659
them. So long. Trying to

2563
01:42:18,496 --> 01:42:20,896
understand the status of

2564
01:42:22,268 --> 01:42:22,934
because at the time that that

2565
01:42:22,934 --> 01:42:24,934
project called development

2566
01:42:25,303 --> 01:42:26,400
became opponent, delay it. It

2567
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,400
was determined by the develop

2568
01:42:30,942 --> 01:42:33,678
a that any individuals who

2569
01:42:33,678 --> 01:42:35,678
purchase homes would

2570
01:42:36,715 --> 01:42:39,284
automatically be liable for an

01:42:39,284 --> 01:42:42,530
assessment on the go ahead. He

2572
01:42:42,530 --> 01:42:43,955
made that determination. So

2573
01:42:43,955 --> 01:42:48,155
now we have a new develop. A

2574
01:42:50,228 --> 01:42:51,296
not to develop a. Was. At that

01:42:51,296 --> 01:42:54,980
time taking that position on

2576
01:42:54,980 --> 01:42:55,967
allowing that to be the case

2577
01:42:55,967 --> 01:43:00,167
will the new develop a have to

2578
01:43:00,571 --> 01:43:03,571
come forward? To do something

2579
01:43:04,420 --> 01:43:06,100

just had a really quick

2666
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,679
question as I was reading

2667
01:46:27,679 --> 01:46:31,279
through the report. I was is

2668
01:46:31,817 --> 01:46:34,719
on Page 10, how they're is

2669
01:46:34,719 --> 01:46:36,554
scheduled monitoring events

2670
01:46:36,554 --> 01:46:37,188
that occur. How how easy

2671
01:46:37,188 --> 01:46:38,357
they're council PRESIDENT

2672
01:46:38,357 --> 01:46:40,357
Jenkins, who represents

2673
01:46:40,892 --> 01:46:42,940

2674
01:46:42,940 --> 01:46:45,940
council dated about these like

2675
01:46:48,901 --> 01:46:51,350
monitoring events? We do

2676
01:46:51,350 --> 01:46:51,837
perform the monitoring events

2677
01:46:51,837 --> 01:46:52,538
twice throughout the fiscal

2678
01:46:52,538 --> 01:46:54,306
year, once in the phone, once

2679
01:46:54,306 --> 01:46:56,800
in the spring before and after

2680
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:57,175
rains to see how the site is

2681
01:46:57,175 --> 01:47:00,175
doing and we do publish

2682
01:47:00,812 --> 01:47:02,914
reports on the gets websites

2683
01:47:02,914 --> 01:47:03,616
of. And so we have not

2684
01:47:03,616 --> 01:47:04,315
traditionally circulated them

2685
01:47:04,315 --> 01:47:05,160
to the board, but we're happy

2686
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:06,684
to do so. If the board would

2687
01:47:06,684 --> 01:47:09,254
like to see that. And when was

2688
01:47:09,254 --> 01:47:11,122
the last time the website was

2689
01:47:11,122 --> 01:47:13,258
updated most recently within

2690
01:47:13,258 --> 01:47:16,227
the last couple months for the

2691
01:47:16,227 --> 01:47:17,610
recent board meeting. But we

2692
01:47:17,610 --> 01:47:18,196
are verifying completing our

2693
01:47:18,196 --> 01:47:19,998
spring monitoring event report

2694
01:47:19,998 --> 01:47:21,966
to post that to the website.

2695
01:47:21,966 --> 01:47:22,667
Excellent. Thank you so Thank

2696
01:47:22,667 --> 01:47:26,267
you. Let's get to the public

2697
01:47:26,304 --> 01:47:26,871
speakers. Thank you so much. I

2698
01:47:26,871 --> 01:47:29,271
have Blair Beekman in

2699
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:32,744
Mississauga ohl of Allah. So

2700
01:47:32,744 --> 01:47:36,344
you would you address in a

2701
01:47:39,885 --> 01:47:42,787
budget? You break down. For

2702
01:47:42,787 --> 01:47:43,454
that things that lead comes

2703
01:47:43,454 --> 01:47:45,590
under and which is dealers

2704
01:47:45,590 --> 01:47:46,891
grad is responsible vegetation

2705
01:47:46,891 --> 01:47:48,891
management habitat management

2706
01:47:51,663 --> 01:47:52,330
erosion control. Fire,

2707
01:47:52,330 --> 01:47:54,730
suppression and some other

2708
01:47:57,101 --> 01:47:59,501
things. Where's the breakdown

2709
01:48:00,104 --> 01:48:00,838
under those categories?

2710
01:48:00,838 --> 01:48:03,838
Exactly would happen under the

2711
01:48:04,142 --> 01:48:04,676
last budgetary period. And who

2712
01:48:04,676 --> 01:48:05,343
does the man at the

2713
01:48:05,343 --> 01:48:06,577
monitoring? You can do the

2714
01:48:06,577 --> 01:48:09,577
mountain that you not do

2715
01:48:10,582 --> 01:48:11,316
manage you of vegetation

2716
01:48:11,316 --> 01:48:12,483
expertise. I think it would be

2717
01:48:12,483 --> 01:48:13,651
somebody in the fire

2718
01:48:13,651 --> 01:48:15,651
department, somebody who's

2719
01:48:17,589 --> 01:48:18,524
dealing with Roshan. You have

2720
01:48:18,524 --> 01:48:19,190
to have a level expertise.

2721
01:48:19,190 --> 01:48:21,590
Tamala, something who does

2722
01:48:23,629 --> 01:48:24,563
that? And the other thing is

2723
01:48:24,563 --> 01:48:25,230
got to stop this phony

2724
01:48:25,230 --> 01:48:28,230
representation at this is a

2725
01:48:28,967 --> 01:48:29,601
public hearing. The public

2726
01:48:29,601 --> 01:48:31,736
gets up here and you just

2727
01:48:31,736 --> 01:48:35,936
ignore what we say. So want to

2728
01:48:44,250 --> 01:48:45,283
say this is a fake hearing.

regarding the Oak Knoll

2751
01:49:45,643 --> 01:49:46,311
Assessment Development that

2752
01:49:46,311 --> 01:49:48,447
has already been passed and

2753
01:49:48,447 --> 01:49:49,130
approved by this board

2754
01:49:49,130 --> 01:49:51,413
currently. With a new

2755
01:49:51,550 --> 01:49:52,884
developer. They are not

2756
01:49:52,884 --> 01:49:55,386
required to go through that

2757
01:49:55,386 --> 01:49:56,210
process again. And that

2758
01:49:56,210 --> 01:49:56,721
assessment will remain on

2759
01:49:56,721 --> 01:49:57,389
those residences as they are

2760
01:49:57,389 --> 01:50:00,358
as they are built and come

2761
01:50:00,358 --> 01:50:02,600
into the development. And as

2762
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:03,328
far as environmental concerns,

2763
01:50:03,328 --> 01:50:05,229
the projects themselves

2764
01:50:05,229 --> 01:50:05,897
already went through the ir

2765
01:50:05,897 --> 01:50:07,310
process during development.

2766
01:50:07,310 --> 01:50:07,833
And that is not a focus of the

2767
01:50:07,833 --> 01:50:09,702
gad to get focuses on geologic

2768
01:50:09,702 --> 01:50:12,102
hazards, specifically for each

2769
01:50:12,604 --> 01:50:13,806
the communities within the

2770
01:50:13,806 --> 01:50:16,206
districts and then also

2771
01:50:16,575 --> 01:50:17,308
questions related to specific

2772
01:50:17,308 --> 01:50:19,911
budget items in the budget

2773
01:50:19,911 --> 01:50:22,814
report. We do present a table

2774
01:50:22,814 --> 01:50:23,648
that compares the previous

2775
01:50:23,648 --> 01:50:24,315
years anticipated expenditures

2776
01:50:24,315 --> 01:50:26,951
are for the current fiscal

2777
01:50:26,951 --> 01:50:29,120
year against what was proposed

2778
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:30,421
and approved by the board for

2779
01:50:30,421 --> 01:50:31,322
this fiscal year. And then

2780
01:50:31,322 --> 01:50:31,924
what the board is presented

2781
01:50:31,924 --> 01:50:34,324
with approving for this

2782
01:50:34,893 --> 01:50:37,595
current fiscal year in. So

2783
01:50:37,595 --> 01:50:38,163
regarding the items in there,

2784
01:50:38,163 --> 01:50:40,563
GOD does have certain

2785
01:50:41,499 --> 01:50:42,101
responsibilities related to

2786
01:50:42,101 --> 01:50:42,700
prevention control and

2787
01:50:42,700 --> 01:50:44,700
emergency response for

2788
01:50:44,703 --> 01:50:45,169
geologic hazards, but does

2789
01:50:45,169 --> 01:50:46,438
also have some

2790
01:50:46,438 --> 01:50:47,171
responsibilities related to

2791
01:50:47,171 --> 01:50:48,941
fire. Suppression is a GOD

2792
01:50:48,941 --> 01:50:50,875
does own some open space in

2793
01:50:50,875 --> 01:50:52,760
those areas. And we do work

2794
01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:53,978
with Oakland Fire Department

2795
01:50:53,978 --> 01:50:55,460
routinely to make sure that

2796
01:50:55,460 --> 01:50:55,747
those requirements are being

2797
01:50:55,747 --> 01:50:56,481
upheld or if they change that

2798
01:50:56,481 --> 01:50:59,481
were adhering to those as

2799
01:51:01,519 --> 01:51:03,588
well. So yes, and ngo. We are

2800
01:51:03,588 --> 01:51:05,490

United States Department of

Housing and Urban Development.

2903
01:55:01,561 --> 01:55:02,227
You have 11 speakers on this

2904
01:55:02,227 --> 01:55:02,861
item. That was a long title

2905
01:55:02,861 --> 01:55:04,463
keeper. 5 minutes on the

2906
01:55:04,463 --> 01:55:06,463
clock.

2907
01:55:12,237 --> 01:55:13,205
And thank you for the time to

2908
01:55:13,205 --> 01:55:13,905
present today. My name is

2909
01:55:13,905 --> 01:55:15,774
Hannah but Ash. I'm with the

2910
01:55:15,774 --> 01:55:16,775
housing and community

2911
01:55:16,775 --> 01:55:18,430
Development Department. I will

2912
01:55:18,430 --> 01:55:19,100
walk through our department's

2913
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:19,644
annual action plan to the U.S.

2914
01:55:19,644 --> 01:55:22,440
Department of Housing and

2915
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:24,950
Urban Development. So I will

2916
01:55:24,950 --> 01:55:27,950
just quickly go through what

2917
01:55:28,621 --> 01:55:29,354
this plan is and why we do it.

2918
01:55:29,354 --> 01:55:31,754
What activities were proposing

2919
01:55:31,857 --> 01:55:32,559
to use our had funding for and

2920
01:55:32,559 --> 01:55:33,225
closed. Just a little context

2921
01:55:33,225 --> 01:55:35,625
about the opportunities and

2922
01:55:35,628 --> 01:55:38,280
limitations of this funding

2923
01:55:38,564 --> 01:55:39,265
which represents just one part

2924
01:55:39,265 --> 01:55:39,966
of our department funds. Stay

2925
01:55:39,966 --> 01:55:42,966
fun, safe and stable housing

2926
01:55:46,438 --> 01:55:48,807
for neighbors. And so this is

2927
01:55:48,807 --> 01:55:49,541
the very long resolution that

2928
01:55:49,541 --> 01:55:52,177
we are asking council to adopt

2929
01:55:52,177 --> 01:55:53,511
and essentially accepting the

2930
01:55:53,511 --> 01:55:55,214
federal funds and giving us

2931
01:55:55,214 --> 01:55:56,514
flexibility if we need to make

2932
01:55:56,514 --> 01:55:57,983
minor adjustments to how we

2933
01:55:57,983 --> 01:55:58,683
use them. So, for example, if

2934
01:55:58,683 --> 01:56:00,686
one project is the laden than

2935
01:56:00,686 --> 01:56:02,487
others moving faster, we could

2936
01:56:02,487 --> 01:56:03,155
have the option to fund the

2937
01:56:03,155 --> 01:56:06,155
faster project at a higher

2938
01:56:09,595 --> 01:56:11,730
level than planned. So a

2939
01:56:11,730 --> 01:56:13,465
little bit about the city's

2940
01:56:13,465 --> 01:56:14,466
hud funding. We are an

2941
01:56:14,466 --> 01:56:16,168
entitlement jurisdiction. So

2942
01:56:16,168 --> 01:56:17,168
we get funding based on our

2943
01:56:17,168 --> 01:56:17,903
population level. We have been

2944
01:56:17,903 --> 01:56:18,870
ongoing cycle for planning and

2945
01:56:18,870 --> 01:56:21,870
reporting on this funding that

2946
01:56:22,274 --> 01:56:23,575
has shown up here. Am. What

2947
01:56:23,575 --> 01:56:26,575
we're doing 2 days in purple.

2948
01:56:27,446 --> 01:56:28,814
And so mainly talk about that.

2949
01:56:28,814 --> 01:56:30,349
We have the the top. We have a

2950
01:56:30,349 --> 01:56:32,184
five-year plan at the bottom.

2951
01:56:32,184 --> 01:56:32,885
We have reporting what we have

2952
01:56:32,885 --> 01:56:34,753
done. What we're doing today

2953
01:56:34,753 --> 01:56:35,921
is the middle. So we're just

2954
01:56:35,921 --> 01:56:36,989
talking about what we are

2955
01:56:36,989 --> 01:56:39,989
doing for this particular year

2956
01:56:41,459 --> 01:56:42,161
of our 5 year plan. And and so

2957
01:56:42,161 --> 01:56:44,462
that's what we're presenting

2958
01:56:44,462 --> 01:56:45,930
to council for approval today.

2959
01:56:45,930 --> 01:56:47,565
And the last part of the cycle

2960
01:56:47,565 --> 01:56:48,200
is that at the end of every

2961
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:50,836
fiscal year will submit a

2962
01:56:50,836 --> 01:56:51,503
report which reviews how we

2963
01:56:51,503 --> 01:56:52,571
did achieve in the outcomes

2964
01:56:52,571 --> 01:56:55,341
that we laid out in last

2965
01:56:55,341 --> 01:56:56,276
year's annual plan. So if

2966
01:56:56,276 --> 01:56:58,676
you're interested now comes

2967
01:56:59,212 --> 01:56:59,878
that's a separate report. I'm

2968
01:56:59,878 --> 01:57:03,478
not gonna go through All of

2969
01:57:03,648 --> 01:57:04,649
the. And items in our 5 year

2970
01:57:04,649 --> 01:57:08,249
plan and they're up here and

2971
01:57:09,755 --> 01:57:11,789
this is publicly available. So

2972
01:57:11,789 --> 01:57:13,626
the funding that the city

2973
01:57:13,626 --> 01:57:14,293
receives from Hood is through

2974
01:57:14,293 --> 01:57:15,261
these for grant streams and

2975
01:57:15,261 --> 01:57:16,394
the exact amounts are

2976
01:57:16,394 --> 01:57:19,394
announced each spring. And as

2977
01:57:20,650 --> 01:57:20,933
I mentioned earlier, it's a

2978
01:57:20,933 --> 01:57:22,134
congressional appropriation

2979
01:57:22,134 --> 01:57:23,802
based on a formula that's tied

2980
01:57:23,802 --> 01:57:25,700
to our population size and

2981
01:57:25,700 --> 01:57:27,940
demographics. As you can see,

2982
01:57:27,940 --> 01:57:29,742
most of the funding is for

2983
01:57:29,742 --> 01:57:30,442
capital improvements and not

2984
01:57:30,442 --> 01:57:31,310
for services center. This is

2985
01:57:31,310 --> 01:57:33,712
another reason that this is

2986
01:57:33,712 --> 01:57:35,748
just one way that we fund what

2987
01:57:35,748 --> 01:57:37,216
we do for neighbors and

2988
01:57:37,216 --> 01:57:37,916
because there are some

2989
01:57:37,916 --> 01:57:40,916
restrictions and what we can

2990
01:57:41,287 --> 01:57:43,880
do with the hud funding, the

2991
01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:44,790
first 2 grants community

2992
01:57:44,790 --> 01:57:45,490
development block grants and

2993
01:57:45,490 --> 01:57:46,258
home investment partnerships

2994
01:57:46,258 --> 01:57:48,658
are administered by our

2995
01:57:50,129 --> 01:57:51,897
department and then the last 2

2996
01:57:51,897 --> 01:57:52,765
are administered by the

2997
01:57:52,765 --> 01:57:54,465
community. Homelessness

2998
01:57:54,465 --> 01:57:55,566
services division in the Human

2999
01:57:55,566 --> 01:57:56,735
Services Department. The

3000
01:57:56,735 --> 01:57:57,436
amounts we got this year are

3001
01:57:57,436 --> 01:58:01,360
pretty similar to what we got

3002
01:58:01,341 --> 01:58:02,407
last year overall. Although by

3003
01:58:02,407 --> 01:58:03,108
grant streams, some amounts

3004
01:58:03,108 --> 01:58:06,708
are higher than last year and

3005
01:58:07,279 --> 01:58:08,546
others are a little bit lower.

3006
01:58:08,546 --> 01:58:10,114
So briefly, some examples of

3007
01:58:10,114 --> 01:58:13,114
what we've done with these

3008
01:58:13,319 --> 01:58:14,954
funds and these kinds

3009
01:58:14,954 --> 01:58:15,622
rehabilitation and repair and

3010
01:58:15,622 --> 01:58:17,188
accessibility projects with

3011
01:58:17,188 --> 01:58:19,920
the community development

3012
01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:19,758
block Grant. And we've also

3013
01:58:19,758 --> 01:58:22,158
done anti displacement and

3014
01:58:23,128 --> 01:58:24,762
tenant stabilization programs.

3015
01:58:24,762 --> 01:58:25,897
And with the home investment

3016
01:58:25,897 --> 01:58:27,900
partnerships, we've done a lot

3017
01:58:27,900 --> 01:58:29,435
of new construction and

3018
01:58:29,435 --> 01:58:30,102
rehabilitation. And so here

3019
01:58:30,102 --> 01:58:32,370
are some examples of recent

3020
01:58:32,370 --> 01:58:33,471
projects we've done and again,

3021
01:58:33,471 --> 01:58:34,440
the outcomes for those

3022
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:35,173
projects are in a separate

3023
01:58:35,173 --> 01:58:38,773
report that happens at the end

3024
01:58:39,444 --> 01:58:40,780
of the fiscal year. And for

3025
01:58:40,780 --> 01:58:42,780
housing opportunities for

3026
01:58:42,448 --> 01:58:43,480
people with aids. And we

3027
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:43,749
provide these kinds of

3028
01:58:43,749 --> 01:58:45,117
services that you can see up

3029
01:58:45,117 --> 01:58:45,818
here. Again, those are

3030
01:58:45,818 --> 01:58:47,818
administered by community

3031
01:58:50,855 --> 01:58:52,855
homelessness services. And

3032
01:58:55,260 --> 01:58:56,160
esg. Similarly, we've provided

3033
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:57,462
these kinds of homelessness

3034
01:58:57,462 --> 01:58:58,130
services and and again, those

3035
01:58:58,130 --> 01:58:58,830
are administered by your

3036
01:58:58,830 --> 01:59:00,830
sibling Department community,

3037
01:59:03,670 --> 01:59:05,203
homelessness services. So a

3038
01:59:05,203 --> 01:59:07,205
little bit about challenges

3039
01:59:07,205 --> 01:59:07,839
and constraints of using

3040
01:59:07,839 --> 01:59:10,108
federal funding. And as I

3041
01:59:10,108 --> 01:59:10,776
mentioned, there's a lot of

3042
01:59:10,776 --> 01:59:13,176
restrictions around what we

3043
01:59:13,511 --> 01:59:14,212
can actually am use the

3044
01:59:14,212 --> 01:59:17,212
funding for it is primarily

3045
01:59:18,349 --> 01:59:20,119
capital and not services. And

3046
01:59:20,119 --> 01:59:20,785
we also some restrictions. And

3047
01:59:20,785 --> 01:59:23,321
when we can use the funding

3048
01:59:23,321 --> 01:59:25,423
and so we have to use it by a

3049
01:59:25,423 --> 01:59:28,961
certain date or else we lose

3050
01:59:28,961 --> 01:59:30,620
it. And we also have to be

3051
01:59:30,620 --> 01:59:30,763
very clear on exactly when

3052
01:59:30,763 --> 01:59:34,363
we're going to use it because

3053
01:59:34,733 --> 01:59:35,433
it can be challenging to and

3054
01:59:35,433 --> 01:59:36,735
reprogram funds. And so this

3055
01:59:36,735 --> 01:59:37,969
is why we're asking for the

3056
01:59:37,969 --> 01:59:40,969
flexibility to do that this

3057
01:59:41,406 --> 01:59:45,606
year. And we also have to be

3058
01:59:45,710 --> 01:59:46,344
very careful about what we use

3059
01:59:46,344 --> 01:59:48,744
federal funds for because

3060
01:59:48,846 --> 01:59:49,547
there's a lot of layered

3061
01:59:49,547 --> 01:59:50,715
requirements and second at a

3062
01:59:50,715 --> 01:59:52,951
lot of complexity to an

3063
01:59:52,951 --> 01:59:53,619
existing project. If we add a

3064
01:59:53,619 --> 01:59:55,253
federal funding source. So

3065
01:59:55,253 --> 01:59:56,821
this again is one reason why

3066
01:59:56,821 --> 01:59:57,555
with a lot of different ways

3067
01:59:57,555 --> 01:59:59,691
that we fund the services that

3068
01:59:59,691 --> 02:00:00,959
our department funds. This is

3069
02:00:00,959 --> 02:00:02,961
only one because we want to be

3070
02:00:02,961 --> 02:00:03,595
careful about triggering those

3071
02:00:03,595 --> 02:00:05,595
extra requirements using

3072
02:00:10,700 --> 02:00:11,703
federal funds. And so process

3073
02:00:11,703 --> 02:00:14,473
you can see up here, we have

3074
02:00:14,473 --> 02:00:15,741
actually made the and you

3075
02:00:15,741 --> 02:00:18,420
action plan available for 30

3076
02:00:18,420 --> 02:00:18,743
day public review on our

3077
02:00:18,743 --> 02:00:21,479
website also gone out through

3078
02:00:21,479 --> 02:00:23,248
e-mail and other channels and

3079
02:00:23,248 --> 02:00:25,648
today represents a public

3080
02:00:27,185 --> 02:00:29,540
hearing. And then we will have

3081
02:00:29,540 --> 02:00:32,540
a separate and presentation on

3082
02:00:32,957 --> 02:00:34,158
outcomes and SEPTEMBER on

3083
02:00:34,158 --> 02:00:35,261
activities that we did with

3084
02:00:35,261 --> 02:00:38,970
these grant funds during the

3085
02:00:38,970 --> 02:00:40,131
prior fiscal year. So again,

3086
02:00:40,131 --> 02:00:42,134
we're in the middle part of a

3087
02:00:42,134 --> 02:00:43,340
head cycle and that will end

3088
02:00:43,340 --> 02:00:43,735
in SEPTEMBER and will be

3089
02:00:43,735 --> 02:00:44,435
another report on what we've

3090
02:00:44,435 --> 02:00:46,835
actually accomplish with the

3091
02:00:49,173 --> 02:00:51,573
funds. That was 5 minutes.

3092
02:00:53,211 --> 02:00:56,211
Exactly. Great job. Let's go

3093
02:00:57,150 --> 02:00:58,840

neighbor and sands tenants

3116
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:03,881
calling for urgent action on

3117
02:02:03,881 --> 02:02:06,500
the housing crisis across the

3118
02:02:06,500 --> 02:02:09,500
city. Renters have been living

3119
02:02:10,188 --> 02:02:10,888
with unsafe conditions.

3120
02:02:10,888 --> 02:02:13,288
Encountered organizing with a

3121
02:02:15,426 --> 02:02:16,461
lot of tenants. Mold Hess

3122
02:02:16,461 --> 02:02:18,861
broken appliances and serious,

3123
02:02:19,831 --> 02:02:21,833
haven't believe violations and

3124
02:02:21,833 --> 02:02:23,935
repair requests constantly go

3125
02:02:23,935 --> 02:02:24,904
unanswered. And Lauren

3126
02:02:24,904 --> 02:02:26,471
landlords continue collecting

3127
02:02:26,471 --> 02:02:27,405
rents without any form of

3128
02:02:27,405 --> 02:02:29,405
accountability. We're calling

3129
02:02:31,276 --> 02:02:33,312

02:02:33,312 --> 02:02:35,712
proactive code enforcement so

that we can strengthen

3132
02:02:37,150 --> 02:02:39,150
landlord accountability and

3133
02:02:40,218 --> 02:02:42,618
ensure that real protections

3134
02:02:43,422 --> 02:02:44,289
occur and landlords are held

3135
02:02:44,289 --> 02:02:45,890
accountable for these

3136
02:02:45,890 --> 02:02:47,890
persistent habitability

3137
02:02:55,701 --> 02:02:57,701

3169
02:04:30,362 --> 02:04:32,640
Peanuts. Cameron. There's a

3170
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,664
lot to be covered in this

3171
02:04:36,567 --> 02:04:38,967
initiative. How do you

3172
02:04:40,239 --> 02:04:41,272
prioritize? Because even

3173
02:04:41,272 --> 02:04:43,107

3328
02:10:55,780 --> 02:10:56,481
collection. A business tax

3329
02:10:56,481 --> 02:10:59,481
supports the city's road map

3330
02:11:00,818 --> 02:11:02,186
to fiscal health by maximizing

3331
02:11:02,186 --> 02:11:03,688

am here. If you have any

3339
02:11:14,265 --> 02:11:15,000
additional questions. Thank

you so much for the detailed

3343
02:11:24,509 --> 02:11:25,878
report. As I was reading it, I

3344
02:11:25,878 --> 02:11:26,577
guess it kind zeroed in on the

3345
02:11:26,577 --> 02:11:28,379
language that says, you know,

3346
02:11:28,379 --> 02:11:31,449
up to the tax year 2026. And

3347
02:11:31,449 --> 02:11:33,953
then as I was looking at the

3348
02:11:33,953 --> 02:11:34,620
attachment, was noticing how

3349
02:11:34,620 --> 02:11:36,121
their arm there, you know,

3350
02:11:36,121 --> 02:11:38,290
decent amount of properties

3351
02:11:38,290 --> 02:11:40,690
that have outstanding balances

3352
02:11:40,725 --> 02:11:43,127
like Even the first ones like

3353
02:11:43,127 --> 02:11:45,127
2017 to 26 2021. 2026. And so

3354
02:11:46,831 --> 02:11:48,366
can you help me understand

3355
02:11:48,366 --> 02:11:50,101
like what is the process and

3356
02:11:50,101 --> 02:11:51,235
why do we have some of these

3357
02:11:51,235 --> 02:11:53,635
locations that have multiple

3358
02:11:54,500 --> 02:11:55,507
years outstanding? They are

3359
02:11:55,507 --> 02:11:56,240
either found. We need that.

3360
02:11:56,240 --> 02:11:59,240
They were not registered. They

3361
02:12:01,546 --> 02:12:02,647
were not compliant or the did

3362
02:12:02,647 --> 02:12:05,647
comply and original start date

3363
02:12:06,685 --> 02:12:07,385
was during that time if they

3364
02:12:07,385 --> 02:12:11,256
are within to or does how it

3365
02:12:11,256 --> 02:12:11,956
applies to of you. Your

3366
02:12:11,956 --> 02:12:13,240
business start dates from the

3367
02:12:13,240 --> 02:12:16,240
time that you start actually

3368
02:12:17,895 --> 02:12:19,164
doing business. So, for

3369
02:12:19,164 --> 02:12:19,797
example, if you are renting

3370
02:12:19,797 --> 02:12:20,498
out your property and you

3371
02:12:20,498 --> 02:12:23,102
rented it out and you didn't

3372
02:12:23,102 --> 02:12:25,770
know or oversight and you

3373
02:12:25,770 --> 02:12:26,404
started running in 2006, then

3374
02:12:26,404 --> 02:12:29,404
that will be your actual

3375
02:12:29,707 --> 02:12:32,100
business. Start date, ok? So

3376
02:12:32,100 --> 02:12:34,780
basically, as looking at this

3377
02:12:34,780 --> 02:12:35,913
report is not necessarily

3378
02:12:35,913 --> 02:12:39,513
reflective that as a city, we

3379
02:12:40,385 --> 02:12:42,688
weren't collecting the tax. We

3380
02:12:42,688 --> 02:12:46,288
have gone through a process in

3381
02:12:46,324 --> 02:12:47,393
my time of in under

3382
02:12:47,393 --> 02:12:48,693
councilmember ramachandran and

3383
02:12:48,693 --> 02:12:50,395
your direction of collecting

3384
02:12:50,395 --> 02:12:52,230
all of the outstanding

3385
02:12:52,230 --> 02:12:52,864
business This is an actual

3386
02:12:52,864 --> 02:12:55,864
catch up. Well, now we're

3387
02:12:56,634 --> 02:12:57,369
actually current right now.

3388
02:12:57,369 --> 02:13:00,710
There was another item brought

3389
02:13:00,710 --> 02:13:01,500
in JANUARY 20 at the 2026.

3390
02:13:01,500 --> 02:13:02,907
That we're all the ones that

3391
02:13:02,907 --> 02:13:05,307
were previously not brought

3392
02:13:06,144 --> 02:13:09,648
in. So this is the actual full

3393
02:13:09,648 --> 02:13:11,683
cycle for 2026. We need that

3394
02:13:11,683 --> 02:13:14,519
from renewal which started in

3395
02:13:14,519 --> 02:13:15,186
DECEMBER all the way up until

3396
02:13:15,186 --> 02:13:17,586
delinquency, which ended in

3397
02:13:20,192 --> 02:13:22,192
JUNE. 30th. Councilmember

3398
02:13:24,630 --> 02:13:25,698
Fife. Yes, thank you for your

3399
02:13:25,698 --> 02:13:28,698
support with my office trying

3400
02:13:30,736 --> 02:13:33,204
to answers around how some of

3401
02:13:33,204 --> 02:13:36,204
addresses got left off the

3402
02:13:37,675 --> 02:13:38,344
list. We have to specifically

3403
02:13:38,344 --> 02:13:39,430
that are not listed in the

3404
02:13:39,430 --> 02:13:42,643
document here. So I just have

3405
02:13:42,847 --> 02:13:44,583
a couple questions. Number

3406
02:13:44,583 --> 02:13:45,883
week. I've asked this in the

3407
02:13:45,883 --> 02:13:50,550
past, but is there a way that

3408
02:13:50,550 --> 02:13:52,991
we can get zip codes? Or which

3409
02:13:52,991 --> 02:13:53,691
district the properties in the

3410
02:13:53,691 --> 02:13:54,425
spreadsheet are listed we can

3411
02:13:54,425 --> 02:13:55,126
put that in there. I'll make a

3412
02:13:55,126 --> 02:13:56,562
note to make that happen for

3413
02:13:56,562 --> 02:14:00,762
the next. Do you want it now

3414
02:14:02,500 --> 02:14:04,270
or do you? Pass a few times

3415
02:14:04,270 --> 02:14:04,969
over years we can actually get

3416
02:14:04,969 --> 02:14:05,704
to zip codes on there. So we

3417
02:14:05,704 --> 02:14:08,806
can actually we can extract it

3418
02:14:08,806 --> 02:14:10,420
from our database that would

3419
02:14:10,420 --> 02:14:10,676
help me with the calls that I

3420
02:14:10,676 --> 02:14:13,760
guess specifically to my

3421
02:14:15,813 --> 02:14:16,515
office. I want to support

3422
02:14:16,515 --> 02:14:18,217
targeted outreach if you all

3423
02:14:18,217 --> 02:14:21,286
don't already do that, we do

3424
02:14:21,286 --> 02:14:24,886
some of the smaller, you know,

3425
02:14:25,556 --> 02:14:27,325
housing providers because it

3426
02:14:27,325 --> 02:14:29,727
seems that some people and

3427
02:14:29,727 --> 02:14:32,264
maybe you're clearing this up

3428
02:14:32,264 --> 02:14:32,931
now are not being reached by

3429
02:14:32,931 --> 02:14:35,331
the correspondence that you

3430
02:14:40,606 --> 02:14:43,541
send out. So. We as noted

3431
02:14:43,541 --> 02:14:44,175
Citadel 75,000 postcards and

3432
02:14:44,175 --> 02:14:44,877
letting everyone own the

3433
02:14:44,877 --> 02:14:46,244
property in Oakland know that

3434
02:14:46,244 --> 02:14:47,578
you are required to have an

3435
02:14:47,578 --> 02:14:50,281
open business license that was

3436
02:14:50,281 --> 02:14:52,450
done around APRIL of this

3437
02:14:52,450 --> 02:14:54,653
year. We actually have

3438
02:14:54,653 --> 02:14:55,554
billboards top, which located

3439
02:14:55,554 --> 02:14:57,722
in Bart that are advised me

3440
02:14:57,722 --> 02:14:58,724
that if you're a property

3441
02:14:58,724 --> 02:15:01,894
owner, we were actually we had

3442
02:15:01,894 --> 02:15:03,928
a 4 month campaign that we're

3443
02:15:03,928 --> 02:15:05,964
on highway corridors where we

3444
02:15:05,964 --> 02:15:06,599
actually had notification that

3445
02:15:06,599 --> 02:15:09,701
if you are a landlord in

3446
02:15:09,701 --> 02:15:11,300
Oakland that you need to pay

3447
02:15:11,300 --> 02:15:12,470
and you need to be registered

3448
02:15:12,470 --> 02:15:13,205
for open business tax. So we

3449
02:15:13,205 --> 02:15:15,840
are doing we're ramping up our

3450
02:15:15,840 --> 02:15:18,576
outreach. We Basile Ben and

3451
02:15:18,576 --> 02:15:20,576
community events Lakefest

3452
02:15:23,681 --> 02:15:24,349
Davis with Oktoberfest,

3453
02:15:24,349 --> 02:15:24,983
educating of the different

3454
02:15:24,983 --> 02:15:27,983
services that we do offer

3455
02:15:28,786 --> 02:15:29,688
within revenue. Oktoberfest

3456
02:15:29,688 --> 02:15:32,688
say nobody. Remember what you

3457
02:15:33,240 --> 02:15:36,240
talked any Tobar. Oh, yes,

3458
02:15:36,327 --> 02:15:38,727
that's different. Yes. Okay.

3459
02:15:42,167 --> 02:15:43,200
And then I want to know if

3460
02:15:43,200 --> 02:15:44,903
there are phone numbers

3461
02:15:44,903 --> 02:15:45,838
available because I could get

3462
02:15:45,838 --> 02:15:46,504
volunteers to support with my

3463
02:15:46,504 --> 02:15:47,940
office. And the reason I'm

3464
02:15:47,940 --> 02:15:50,940
asking is because there was

3465
02:15:52,877 --> 02:15:54,679
one case in particular where a

3466
02:15:54,679 --> 02:15:55,613
business in my district

3467
02:15:55,613 --> 02:15:59,213
received a notice. I think you

3468
02:15:59,984 --> 02:16:01,953
are aware of this for $65,000.

3469
02:16:01,953 --> 02:16:03,354
This business has been in

3470
02:16:03,354 --> 02:16:04,390
operation for decades. And so

3471
02:16:04,390 --> 02:16:08,560
I'm I'm not sure how they for

3472
02:16:08,560 --> 02:16:10,960
6 years did not. Receive.

3473
02:16:12,664 --> 02:16:16,670
Notice. The issue is is that

3474
02:16:16,670 --> 02:16:17,335
as 8 property owner and asked

3475
02:16:17,335 --> 02:16:17,936
for the ordinance year

3476
02:16:17,936 --> 02:16:20,936
required to come in and

3477
02:16:23,410 --> 02:16:24,343
register. It is optimally.

3478
02:16:24,343 --> 02:16:25,100
Your responsibility that as

3479
02:16:25,100 --> 02:16:27,613
soon you get a notification

3480
02:16:27,613 --> 02:16:28,347
when you actually go through

3481
02:16:28,347 --> 02:16:30,949
the real estate process, there

3482
02:16:30,949 --> 02:16:31,649
is a notification that says is

3483
02:16:31,649 --> 02:16:34,490
this your primary residence?

3484
02:16:34,552 --> 02:16:38,152
And if it says no, then

3485
02:16:38,356 --> 02:16:39,570
sometimes there is the real

3486
02:16:39,570 --> 02:16:39,857
estate agent will allude that

3487
02:16:39,857 --> 02:16:41,726
you need to get in contact

3488
02:16:41,726 --> 02:16:44,126
with your little local

3489
02:16:44,696 --> 02:16:45,430
jurisdiction to actually find

3490
02:16:45,430 --> 02:16:46,297
out if there's any other local

3491
02:16:46,297 --> 02:16:49,897
taxing that is due for your

3492
02:16:54,973 --> 02:16:55,673
property. To be very clear.

3493
02:16:55,673 --> 02:16:57,508
The information which will be

3494
02:16:57,508 --> 02:17:00,450
there. We cannot release that

3495
02:17:00,450 --> 02:17:01,790
its confidential information.

3496
02:17:01,790 --> 02:17:05,819
So I have to walk on the line

3497
02:17:05,819 --> 02:17:08,787
that I absolutely welcome you

3498
02:17:08,787 --> 02:17:09,955
to help into outreach within

3499
02:17:09,955 --> 02:17:10,655
your your district. However,

3500
02:17:10,655 --> 02:17:13,491
the bureau would not be able

3501
02:17:13,491 --> 02:17:14,993
to release. That kind of

3502
02:17:14,993 --> 02:17:16,861
information. We keep it to

3503
02:17:16,861 --> 02:17:19,861
that parcel number and the

3504
02:17:20,165 --> 02:17:22,934
amount that's too, for privacy

3505
02:17:22,934 --> 02:17:25,103
sake, understood. Maybe it was

3506
02:17:25,103 --> 02:17:26,904
around trash. I remember in

3507
02:17:26,904 --> 02:17:28,674
2021. 22, I did call a couple

3508
02:17:28,674 --> 02:17:29,340
folks and say here's your

3509
02:17:29,340 --> 02:17:30,410
leaned. You're about to go

3510
02:17:30,410 --> 02:17:31,776
into lean and they were able

3511
02:17:31,776 --> 02:17:35,976
to come in and and cleared up

3512
02:17:36,815 --> 02:17:37,782
by it had to be Treasury.

3513
02:17:37,782 --> 02:17:40,518
Don't know. I bring a lot. So

3514
02:17:40,518 --> 02:17:42,153
I think that for garbage with

3515
02:17:42,153 --> 02:17:44,389
the report, if you look at the

3516
02:17:44,389 --> 02:17:47,292
attachment we have due to

3517
02:17:47,292 --> 02:17:49,395
feedback from the community.

3518
02:17:49,395 --> 02:17:50,296
We keep it very sanitized to

3519
02:17:50,296 --> 02:17:53,264
just the parcel number. Any

3520
02:17:53,264 --> 02:17:54,866
amount that's any other

3521
02:17:54,866 --> 02:17:55,833
information. It's just a

3522
02:17:55,833 --> 02:17:57,702
matter. I I wouldn't want my

3523
02:17:57,702 --> 02:17:59,504
information to be disclosed in

3524
02:17:59,504 --> 02:18:01,240
a public setting and I'm

3525
02:18:01,240 --> 02:18:03,740
pretty sure that most of the

3526
02:18:03,740 --> 02:18:04,342
property owners would not like

3527
02:18:04,342 --> 02:18:04,977
that either. Of course, how

3528
02:18:04,977 --> 02:18:07,377
many people came upstairs

3529
02:18:10,682 --> 02:18:12,283
today? We have a lot. As you

3530
02:18:12,283 --> 02:18:15,119
saw, we are currently seeing

3531
02:18:15,119 --> 02:18:15,853
we have. Down to 3. But if

3532
02:18:15,853 --> 02:18:17,555
there's anybody in the chamber

3533
02:18:17,555 --> 02:18:18,723
that would like to go and talk

3534
02:18:18,723 --> 02:18:21,723
to staff, we are available.

3535
02:18:23,962 --> 02:18:24,629
Thank you. Councilmember

3536
02:18:24,629 --> 02:18:28,229
comment on run and then has

3537
02:18:30,702 --> 02:18:31,369
been without Michael. Thank

3538
02:18:31,369 --> 02:18:33,237
you for Slate. Just really

3539
02:18:33,237 --> 02:18:35,637
want to acknowledge and

3540
02:18:36,842 --> 02:18:38,843
appreciate how far things have

3541
02:18:38,843 --> 02:18:40,645
come. And, you know, less than

3542
02:18:40,645 --> 02:18:43,548
2 years, the pace of notices

3543
02:18:43,548 --> 02:18:46,285
being sent out the public

3544
02:18:46,285 --> 02:18:47,510
outrage, the billboards, the

3545
02:18:47,510 --> 02:18:47,685
individual communication. You

3546
02:18:47,685 --> 02:18:49,988
can really I mean, see it

3547
02:18:49,988 --> 02:18:53,588
around the city. And I really

3548
02:18:53,891 --> 02:18:54,727
appreciate these efforts. I

3549
02:18:54,727 --> 02:18:55,426
know there was a report that

3550
02:18:55,426 --> 02:18:59,260
kind of detailed some of the

3551
02:18:59,265 --> 02:19:00,265
trends earlier this year. And

3552
02:19:00,265 --> 02:19:01,000
if you don't have this

3553
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:03,400
information known, no problem.

3554
02:19:04,135 --> 02:19:05,503
But can you give a sense of

3555
02:19:05,503 --> 02:19:06,371
how much ended up on the

3556
02:19:06,371 --> 02:19:07,390
leading role last year

3557
02:19:07,390 --> 02:19:09,439
compared to the 4.4 million

3558
02:19:13,450 --> 02:19:14,178
now. Can you first the value

3559
02:19:14,178 --> 02:19:15,980
of the liens that you're going

3560
02:19:15,980 --> 02:19:18,160
to be sending to the county

3561
02:19:18,160 --> 02:19:19,384
now is 4.4 million for last

3562
02:19:19,384 --> 02:19:22,984
year. What was it the year

3563
02:19:23,721 --> 02:19:24,423
prior? Approximately? Don't

3564
02:19:24,423 --> 02:19:25,790
have information before me. I

3565
02:19:25,790 --> 02:19:28,790
know that we brought 4 million

3566
02:19:29,127 --> 02:19:29,994
in JANUARY and this is about

3567
02:19:29,994 --> 02:19:31,863
4 million here. I do want you

3568
02:19:31,863 --> 02:19:33,898
to take to account that people

3569
02:19:33,898 --> 02:19:35,901
will pay. Some people will

3570
02:19:35,901 --> 02:19:36,968
provide documentation that

3571
02:19:36,968 --> 02:19:40,568
will have them removed. So we

3572
02:19:40,705 --> 02:19:41,740
won't have a final tally until

3573
02:19:41,740 --> 02:19:43,308
AUGUST 4th, this particular

3574
02:19:43,308 --> 02:19:44,900
fiscal year from next for the

3575
02:19:44,900 --> 02:19:47,609
prior fiscal year, I will get

3576
02:19:48,147 --> 02:19:49,414
that information back to you.

3577
02:19:49,414 --> 02:19:51,182
Thank So every call AUGUST is

3578
02:19:51,182 --> 02:19:55,382
kind of the final day when you

3579
02:19:55,754 --> 02:19:58,754
send these. Properties to the

3580
02:19:58,990 --> 02:20:01,225
county, what's the approximate

3581
02:20:01,225 --> 02:20:03,127
timeline of the city getting

3582
02:20:03,127 --> 02:20:03,829
that money, for example, look,

3583
02:20:03,829 --> 02:20:04,530
let's say a million people of

3584
02:20:04,530 --> 02:20:07,165
this. A million dollars worth

3585
02:20:07,165 --> 02:20:11,365
is is paid. And when we get

3586
02:20:11,369 --> 02:20:13,338
the rest of that 3.5 So we

3587
02:20:13,338 --> 02:20:14,405
roll it to the property tax

3588
02:20:14,405 --> 02:20:17,405
and AUGUST, the property tax

3589
02:20:17,442 --> 02:20:18,143
bills go out in OCTOBER. I

3590
02:20:18,143 --> 02:20:21,143
believe the first payment is

3591
02:20:21,279 --> 02:20:24,115
due in DECEMBER. So that will

3592
02:20:24,115 --> 02:20:26,170
come in. And then the second

3593
02:20:26,170 --> 02:20:27,318
payment. Is due in APRIL. And

3594
02:20:27,318 --> 02:20:28,387
then we I would say everything

3595
02:20:28,387 --> 02:20:30,755
should be true that for around

3596
02:20:30,755 --> 02:20:34,892
JUNE, but a bunch of time. Got

3597
02:20:34,892 --> 02:20:35,593
it. And I mean, because this

3598
02:20:35,593 --> 02:20:39,193
is in property tax bill. And

3599
02:20:40,365 --> 02:20:41,330
that's what we get. A vast

3600
02:20:41,330 --> 02:20:41,733
majority of the money. Are

3601
02:20:41,733 --> 02:20:44,133
there circumstances where we

3602
02:20:47,940 --> 02:20:48,806
don't get that amount? I just

3603
02:20:48,806 --> 02:20:49,474
want to be very clear if a

3604
02:20:49,474 --> 02:20:52,474
person is not paying their

3605
02:20:53,778 --> 02:20:56,715
property tax bill. There other

3606
02:20:56,715 --> 02:20:59,115
circumstances. However, I will

3607
02:21:02,186 --> 02:21:03,855
defer to my director. Through

3608
02:21:03,855 --> 02:21:05,590
the chair to counsel Robert

3609
02:21:05,590 --> 02:21:07,990
100. The vast majority of

3610
02:21:08,761 --> 02:21:09,460
property taxes paid should a

3611
02:21:09,460 --> 02:21:12,730
lien badly placed on a proper

3612
02:21:12,730 --> 02:21:13,465
tax not be paid and the

3613
02:21:13,465 --> 02:21:14,650
property going delinquency. It

3614
02:21:14,650 --> 02:21:15,566
actually subject to the

3615
02:21:15,566 --> 02:21:18,136
auction process at the county

3616
02:21:18,136 --> 02:21:18,938
level. So the city's typically

3617
02:21:18,938 --> 02:21:19,704
meet whole. Our tax liens are

3618
02:21:19,704 --> 02:21:21,639
senior to a lot of other kinds

3619
02:21:21,639 --> 02:21:22,942
of liens. I might be on the

3620
02:21:22,942 --> 02:21:23,708
property and that's one of the

3621
02:21:23,708 --> 02:21:26,210
process should also want to

3622
02:21:26,210 --> 02:21:29,810
make the point. As it relates

3623
02:21:31,149 --> 02:21:31,849
2. Actually receiving revenue

3624
02:21:31,849 --> 02:21:34,452
in calf. Yes, we would get on

3625
02:21:34,452 --> 02:21:36,521
the property tax bill. There's

3626
02:21:36,521 --> 02:21:38,590
a separate policy in the city

3627
02:21:38,590 --> 02:21:40,392
related to revenue

3628
02:21:40,392 --> 02:21:41,940
recognition. When we lean a

3629
02:21:41,940 --> 02:21:42,894
property, we do recognize the

3630
02:21:42,894 --> 02:21:43,494
revenue and book a receivable.

3631
02:21:43,494 --> 02:21:45,894
So we're actually gonna

3632
02:21:46,966 --> 02:21:47,565
recognize that revenue accrued

3633
02:21:47,565 --> 02:21:50,301
back. That our that our

3634
02:21:50,301 --> 02:21:50,935
process Won't we? Because the

3635
02:21:50,935 --> 02:21:53,935
property tax rolls such a

3636
02:21:54,472 --> 02:21:55,139
secure means of collection. We

3637
02:21:55,139 --> 02:21:55,773
actually look me Utley upon

3638
02:21:55,773 --> 02:21:58,773
sending it to the county.

3639
02:21:58,876 --> 02:22:01,876
Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

3640
02:22:04,949 --> 02:22:07,349

process once more. What You'll

3646
02:22:15,160 --> 02:22:18,160
send me a notice of

3647
02:22:19,297 --> 02:22:20,165
delinquency. Where someone

3648
02:22:20,165 --> 02:22:22,101
come knock on my door and says

3649
02:22:22,101 --> 02:22:23,769
you have pay the bill for 3

3650
02:22:23,769 --> 02:22:24,470
years because there's people

3651
02:22:24,470 --> 02:22:25,937
with in my neighborhood that

3652
02:22:25,937 --> 02:22:28,337
are going through the

3653
02:22:29,574 --> 02:22:30,209
experience. So you you're the

3654
02:22:30,209 --> 02:22:32,609
processes. You receive a

3655
02:22:34,713 --> 02:22:35,847

you will receive is either an

was reported in in his

02:23:55,426 --> 02:23:58,426
findings that the Business tax

3694
02:23:59,330 --> 02:24:00,640
bureau process. Did not

3695
02:24:00,640 --> 02:24:03,640
collect all revenues. That was

3696
02:24:05,770 --> 02:24:07,872
due to the city. Doing certain

3697
02:24:07,872 --> 02:24:10,272
periods which was 2021 to

control lacks adequate data.

3703
02:24:22,887 --> 02:24:24,822
The bureau lacks adequate

02:24:24,822 --> 02:24:25,523

3705
02:24:25,523 --> 02:24:27,326

3713
02:24:44,343 --> 02:24:44,976
status issue. Some people

02:24:44,976 --> 02:24:45,643

Violate the government cold.

3727
02:25:59,784 --> 02:26:01,620
On the item that was amended.

3728
02:26:01,620 --> 02:26:03,288
Let let me read to the

3729
02:26:03,288 --> 02:26:03,955
government cold so you could

3730
02:26:03,955 --> 02:26:06,355
understand what I'm talking

3731
02:26:12,597 --> 02:26:14,597
about. He's 5 for 9. 5, 4.3

3732
02:26:20,171 --> 02:26:20,872
Whenever there's an amendment.

3733
02:26:20,872 --> 02:26:23,741
The public has an opportunity

3734
02:26:23,741 --> 02:26:26,110
to speak. You can add that to

3735
02:26:26,110 --> 02:26:29,110
move an amendment with that.

3736
02:26:29,580 --> 02:26:30,315
The public speaking.

3737
02:26:30,315 --> 02:26:32,715
Parliamentarian and you should

3738
02:26:32,984 --> 02:26:35,920
know that. You want me to read

3739
02:26:35,920 --> 02:26:37,488
it or what? Why don't you read

3740
02:26:37,488 --> 02:26:38,489
what the government called

3741
02:26:38,489 --> 02:26:39,925
say? It with that respect and

3742
02:26:39,925 --> 02:26:44,125
you sit up there and you had

3743
02:26:44,797 --> 02:26:47,797
him do it. What's the

3744
02:26:50,268 --> 02:26:51,569
parliamentarian fall? You

3745
02:26:51,569 --> 02:26:55,169
care. Thank you, MR. Has it.

3746
02:26:56,641 --> 02:26:57,342
Your time is up moving to

3747
02:26:57,342 --> 02:26:58,420
speakers that Poland, you are

3748
02:26:58,420 --> 02:27:00,442
first please unmute yourself

3749
02:27:04,816 --> 02:27:05,818
and begin your comments. Good

3750
02:27:05,818 --> 02:27:07,385
afternoon. My name is Jacob

3751
02:27:07,385 --> 02:27:08,530
Pullen and I live in District

3752
02:27:08,530 --> 02:27:09,520
3. I need help with a lean

3753
02:27:09,520 --> 02:27:11,389
that does not apply to my

3754
02:27:11,389 --> 02:27:12,524
house. The report to the

3755
02:27:12,524 --> 02:27:14,492
council said the tax amounts

3756
02:27:14,492 --> 02:27:15,159
owed were settled on include a

3757
02:27:15,159 --> 02:27:15,961
fi administrative hearing.

3758
02:27:15,961 --> 02:27:16,661
That is false. My hearing is

3759
02:27:16,661 --> 02:27:19,661
on calendar has not occurred

3760
02:27:19,731 --> 02:27:22,600
yet. It's simply a false

3761
02:27:22,600 --> 02:27:23,268
statement. These hearings

3762
02:27:23,268 --> 02:27:24,670
matter. I paid all my taxes

3763
02:27:24,670 --> 02:27:26,438
that the city, but the city

3764
02:27:26,438 --> 02:27:27,172
improperly added more than

3765
02:27:27,172 --> 02:27:28,806
$2000 penalties. These taxes I

3766
02:27:28,806 --> 02:27:30,875
had knew nothing about. That's

3767
02:27:30,875 --> 02:27:33,275
80 per 7% penalty that would

3768
02:27:33,612 --> 02:27:35,647
make a loan shark blush. The

3769
02:27:35,647 --> 02:27:36,581
lean process itself is also

3770
02:27:36,581 --> 02:27:37,315
unfair. Surprise. The

3771
02:27:37,315 --> 02:27:38,616
department told me in MAY that

3772
02:27:38,616 --> 02:27:39,250
I was not part of the process

3773
02:27:39,250 --> 02:27:41,586
since then it apparently

3774
02:27:41,586 --> 02:27:42,287
change its mind. And it made a

3775
02:27:42,287 --> 02:27:43,721
statement to the council that

3776
02:27:43,721 --> 02:27:45,790
we had notice in MAY, which at

3777
02:27:45,790 --> 02:27:47,425
least as apply to me is

3778
02:27:47,425 --> 02:27:48,159
incorrect. When asked about

3779
02:27:48,159 --> 02:27:48,861
the shift, they said they just

3780
02:27:48,861 --> 02:27:50,328
have to meet once a deal with

3781
02:27:50,328 --> 02:27:52,330
MAY have to shut them all

3782
02:27:52,330 --> 02:27:52,998
together, which also raises

3783
02:27:52,998 --> 02:27:53,831
serious questions about how

3784
02:27:53,831 --> 02:27:56,231
they're justifying talking on

3785
02:27:56,401 --> 02:27:57,902
the $400,000 administrative

3786
02:27:57,902 --> 02:27:58,604
fees, please. That's the fines

3787
02:27:58,604 --> 02:27:59,237
permit to fix these lanes for

3788
02:27:59,237 --> 02:28:00,673
passing them. They're not

3789
02:28:00,673 --> 02:28:04,873
doing a good job. I think sure

3790
02:28:05,344 --> 02:28:07,312
this process is organized.

3791
02:28:07,312 --> 02:28:08,470
Thank you for your comments.

3792
02:28:08,470 --> 02:28:08,714
Moving to cause that cause it.

3793
02:28:08,714 --> 02:28:10,249
Please unmute yourself and

3794
02:28:10,249 --> 02:28:12,918
begin your comments. Can you

3795
02:28:12,918 --> 02:28:14,953
hear me now? Yes. Okay. Great.

3796
02:28:14,953 --> 02:28:15,687
Thank you so much for your

3797
02:28:15,687 --> 02:28:18,687
time. Thank you, Council. My

3798
02:28:19,557 --> 02:28:20,124
name is Kuz that the credit

3799
02:28:20,124 --> 02:28:21,392

3800
02:28:21,392 --> 02:28:23,940
Responsibility and Disclosure

3801
02:28:23,940 --> 02:28:25,164
Act requires 21 days notice

3802
02:28:25,164 --> 02:28:26,297
before a bill is due in caps

3803
02:28:26,297 --> 02:28:26,965
late fees. This lien notice

3804
02:28:26,965 --> 02:28:29,234
not only states additional

3805
02:28:29,234 --> 02:28:33,205
fees will on tap later, but it

3806
02:28:33,205 --> 02:28:35,240
stated JUNE. 26, which gave me

3807
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:37,842
an 11 day window to disputed

3808
02:28:37,842 --> 02:28:38,777
at this meeting today on my

3809
02:28:38,777 --> 02:28:40,111
birthday. Nonetheless, could

3810
02:28:40,111 --> 02:28:40,812
it could companies aren't

3811
02:28:40,812 --> 02:28:42,881
allowed to do that under the

3812
02:28:42,881 --> 02:28:44,115
truth in Lending Act. So why

3813
02:28:44,115 --> 02:28:45,651
is our government held to a

3814
02:28:45,651 --> 02:28:46,484
lower standard than the

3815
02:28:46,484 --> 02:28:47,319
corporations? We regulate?

3816
02:28:47,319 --> 02:28:48,953
This debt isn't from

3817
02:28:48,953 --> 02:28:50,953
irresponsibility. It's from

3818
02:28:51,222 --> 02:28:53,125
job loss being sold caretaker

3819
02:28:53,125 --> 02:28:54,125
for 2 dependents and tenants

3820
02:28:54,125 --> 02:28:56,525
who became squatters protected

3821
02:28:56,795 --> 02:28:57,762
by local laws and ordinances.

3822
02:28:57,762 --> 02:28:58,429
When I called the business Tax

3823
02:28:58,429 --> 02:29:01,660
Department for help, I was

3824
02:29:01,660 --> 02:29:02,267
told nothing could be done.

3825
02:29:02,267 --> 02:29:04,200
The penalties and fees beyond

3826
02:29:04,200 --> 02:29:05,970
the initial now charged twice

3827
02:29:05,970 --> 02:29:07,339
for the same overhead. If this

3828
02:29:07,339 --> 02:29:09,274
were truly about cost

3829
02:29:09,274 --> 02:29:10,241
recovery, it would look like a

3830
02:29:10,241 --> 02:29:11,643
modest processing fee, not a

3831
02:29:11,643 --> 02:29:12,410
rate that beats credit card

3832
02:29:12,410 --> 02:29:15,410
interest and asking for an

3833
02:29:16,514 --> 02:29:18,914
abatement. Please. Thank you

3837
02:29:23,389 --> 02:29:25,189
chambers on zoom, please raise

3838
02:29:25,189 --> 02:29:28,789
your hand. Speaker by the name

3839
02:29:29,930 --> 02:29:32,930

Cardoso Underwood name? Can

3841
02:29:38,336 --> 02:29:39,904
they do? Did you submit a

3842
02:29:39,904 --> 02:29:41,507
card? If so under what? Name?

3843
02:29:41,507 --> 02:29:42,240
I'm not. I'm sorry. I didn't

3844
02:29:42,240 --> 02:29:45,840
have time submit a card. Is

3845
02:29:46,811 --> 02:29:47,479
there any way? At this time

3846
02:29:47,479 --> 02:29:49,481
on? Is that because you do

3847
02:29:49,481 --> 02:29:50,381
have to submit a speaker's

3848
02:29:50,381 --> 02:29:53,981
card and the directions to do

3849
02:29:55,186 --> 02:29:58,623
so on the face of the agenda.

3850
02:29:58,623 --> 02:30:01,230
That concludes the speakers.

3851
02:30:01,359 --> 02:30:03,929
Let's make a motion. As a

3852
02:30:03,929 --> 02:30:06,329
public hearing. Commotion to

3853
02:30:11,235 --> 02:30:11,869
close the public hearing. He's

3854
02:30:11,869 --> 02:30:14,473
considered a niche in the

3855
02:30:14,473 --> 02:30:16,800
hands to finish the motion. So

3856
02:30:16,800 --> 02:30:16,675
councilmember Houston is

3857
02:30:16,675 --> 02:30:19,750

calling in online. It's it's

3862
02:30:30,289 --> 02:30:30,923
beneficial. If you leave us

Karen Cardenas, Hernandez rose

4097
02:40:20,145 --> 02:40:23,145
Pratt, nervous. It is When

4098
02:40:23,314 --> 02:40:25,170
they don't pay the bill. Y'all

4099
02:40:25,170 --> 02:40:26,819
collect for that. This is a

4100
02:40:26,819 --> 02:40:29,819
separate trey Ish feet. It

4101
02:40:30,190 --> 02:40:34,390
goes to the city. Is that what

4102
02:40:34,926 --> 02:40:37,395
this is MR. Jenkins. What is

4103
02:40:37,395 --> 02:40:40,198
it? Because picking up when

4104
02:40:40,198 --> 02:40:41,133
they do paint a waste

4105
02:40:41,133 --> 02:40:41,799
management bill, y'all take

4106
02:40:41,799 --> 02:40:43,799
responsibility for getting

4107
02:40:45,670 --> 02:40:46,537
waste management's money. And

4108
02:40:46,537 --> 02:40:49,141
put a lien on a property if

4109
02:40:49,141 --> 02:40:50,740
they don't pay their bill. Now

4110
02:40:50,740 --> 02:40:51,442
for the utilities company in

4111
02:40:51,442 --> 02:40:53,842
the electricity company. You

4112
02:40:56,140 --> 02:40:56,815
don't do that. And that's

4113
02:40:56,815 --> 02:40:57,548
that's a necessary service.

4114
02:40:57,548 --> 02:41:01,320
Also, you do it because it's a

4115
02:41:01,320 --> 02:41:01,987
necessary service. Water and

4116
02:41:01,987 --> 02:41:03,589
electricity is a necessary

4117
02:41:03,589 --> 02:41:06,991
service. But you all half of

4118
02:41:06,991 --> 02:41:07,726
the responsibility. Making

4119
02:41:07,726 --> 02:41:11,326
people pay to gas and electric

4120
02:41:12,300 --> 02:41:12,697
and want a bill. Which I

4121
02:41:12,697 --> 02:41:13,364
messed up on that contract.

4122
02:41:13,364 --> 02:41:16,964
You agreed to do this. You

4123
02:41:19,604 --> 02:41:20,305
didn't have to do it is.

4124
02:41:20,305 --> 02:41:22,305
You're taking responsibility.

4125
02:41:34,653 --> 02:41:36,120
I didn't get an answer. Do

4126
02:41:36,120 --> 02:41:39,358

have been Com. Thank you for

4132
02:41:47,199 --> 02:41:49,834
everybody that came to speak

4133
02:41:49,834 --> 02:41:52,234
on this public hearing.

4134
02:41:56,240 --> 02:41:56,909
Council I thank you to the

4135
02:41:56,909 --> 02:41:57,575
chair. I just want to make

4136
02:41:57,575 --> 02:42:00,575
sure I understand what I'm

4137
02:42:02,880 --> 02:42:05,384
reading. So. Does this have

4138
02:42:05,384 --> 02:42:06,551
anything to do with the actual

4139
02:42:06,551 --> 02:42:09,551
trash service like I'm just

4140
02:42:10,455 --> 02:42:12,156
commenting because I see some

4141
02:42:12,156 --> 02:42:12,890
apartment buildings with some

4142
02:42:12,890 --> 02:42:14,859
overflowing trash bins in my

4143
02:42:14,859 --> 02:42:16,828
district, really like

4144
02:42:16,828 --> 02:42:18,630
unacceptable blight. And I'm

4145
02:42:18,630 --> 02:42:19,397
wondering if when we're

4146
02:42:19,397 --> 02:42:21,766
reviewing this table, which I

4147
02:42:21,766 --> 02:42:22,467
found really interesting table

4148
02:42:22,467 --> 02:42:24,867
3 about delinquent parcels by

4149
02:42:25,704 --> 02:42:27,372
council district, a c a lot of

4150
02:42:27,372 --> 02:42:29,772
delinquent parcels, a district

4151
02:42:29,908 --> 02:42:31,510
6, 7, But I'm just wondering

4152
02:42:31,510 --> 02:42:34,779
if that is related at all to

4153
02:42:34,779 --> 02:42:36,814
actual trash service, sir.

4154
02:42:36,814 --> 02:42:37,850
This is what we do in order to

4155
02:42:37,850 --> 02:42:40,850
actually make sure that those

4156
02:42:41,850 --> 02:42:41,686
property owners you know, for

4157
02:42:41,686 --> 02:42:43,621
like, say, multi-family

4158
02:42:43,621 --> 02:42:45,323
buildings are continuing to

4159
02:42:45,323 --> 02:42:48,323
get trash service for the

4160
02:42:48,993 --> 02:42:49,694
residents anyways. Yes, the

4161
02:42:49,694 --> 02:42:52,694
garbage is picked up. Whether

4162
02:42:53,831 --> 02:42:56,467
they pay or not. So that and

4163
02:42:56,467 --> 02:42:57,168
is under California

4164
02:42:57,168 --> 02:42:59,570
environmental law. Why we are

4165
02:42:59,570 --> 02:43:00,271
required to have an agreement

4166
02:43:00,271 --> 02:43:01,472
because we have to make sure

4167
02:43:01,472 --> 02:43:02,407
it is the health and safety

4168
02:43:02,407 --> 02:43:04,475
issue. Therefore garbage has

4169
02:43:04,475 --> 02:43:08,750
to be picked up whether your

4170
02:43:08,314 --> 02:43:09,615
ability to pay or not. The

4171
02:43:09,615 --> 02:43:10,282
only way to recover in some

4172
02:43:10,282 --> 02:43:13,282
cases would be the process

4173
02:43:13,284 --> 02:43:13,852
that we have before you. Got

4174
02:43:13,852 --> 02:43:16,852
it. Thank you for the

4175
02:43:17,488 --> 02:43:19,488
clarification. You said

4176
02:43:24,620 --> 02:43:24,897

from the community on what

02:46:16,868 --> 02:46:18,690
possibility. We have been to

some of your meetings. You are

4262
02:46:18,836 --> 02:46:20,105
pointing to some very good

4263
02:46:20,105 --> 02:46:20,838
directions in terms of

4264
02:46:20,838 --> 02:46:23,809
constituents need to greet and

4265
02:46:23,809 --> 02:46:24,442

02:46:52,972 --> 02:46:53,605
public. My name is Laura

4279
02:46:53,605 --> 02:46:56,500
Kaminsky in the strategic

4280
02:46:57,542 --> 02:46:58,344
planning manager for the city.

4281
02:46:58,344 --> 02:47:00,178
And I will go over very

4282
02:47:00,178 --> 02:47:03,147
quickly. The draft land use

4283
02:47:03,147 --> 02:47:05,170
framework so are updating your

4284
02:47:05,170 --> 02:47:05,717
general plan, which includes

4285
02:47:05,717 --> 02:47:07,717
infrastructure and facilities

4286
02:47:08,119 --> 02:47:08,720
element as well as open space

4287
02:47:08,720 --> 02:47:10,221
conservation Recreation

4288
02:47:10,221 --> 02:47:11,189
Element annoys Elam and as

4289
02:47:11,189 --> 02:47:14,789
well as the land use and

4290
02:47:15,461 --> 02:47:16,160
transportation element. So at

4291
02:47:16,160 --> 02:47:19,831
to to build off of what Bill

4292
02:47:19,831 --> 02:47:20,565
is just saying is that for a

4293
02:47:20,565 --> 02:47:21,266
general plan update? You know,

4294
02:47:21,266 --> 02:47:25,103
we are still very much in the

4295
02:47:25,103 --> 02:47:25,804
beginning stages of this. So

4296
02:47:25,804 --> 02:47:28,106
the draft land use framework

4297
02:47:28,106 --> 02:47:29,140
was meant to be a very high

4298
02:47:29,140 --> 02:47:31,976
level document and not get

4299
02:47:31,976 --> 02:47:32,710
into a lot of the details

4300
02:47:32,710 --> 02:47:33,444
because before we got into the

4301
02:47:33,444 --> 02:47:34,460
details, we wanted to make

4302
02:47:34,460 --> 02:47:35,948
sure that we're got the

4303
02:47:35,948 --> 02:47:36,614
overall framework, correct? So

4304
02:47:36,614 --> 02:47:39,417
that is why we're here. We

4305
02:47:39,417 --> 02:47:40,840
want to hear from the public

4306
02:47:40,840 --> 02:47:43,210
as well as from council and

4307
02:47:43,210 --> 02:47:46,621
changes to be made. We got

4308
02:47:47,158 --> 02:47:49,160
over 800 comments as that

4309
02:47:49,160 --> 02:47:50,610
we're looking at and we're

4310
02:47:50,610 --> 02:47:50,930
already looking at making

4311
02:47:50,930 --> 02:47:52,398
changes. We've, as Bill

4312
02:47:52,398 --> 02:47:53,640
mentioned in the summer right

4313
02:47:53,640 --> 02:47:54,733
now, we've already started

4314
02:47:54,733 --> 02:47:56,468
meeting with various

4315
02:47:56,468 --> 02:47:57,435
stakeholders about letters

4316
02:47:57,435 --> 02:47:58,102
that they've sent and looking

4317
02:47:58,102 --> 02:48:01,102
at making the changes that

4318
02:48:02,240 --> 02:48:03,775
they've asked 4, we then in

4319
02:48:03,775 --> 02:48:05,977
the fall will be having the

4320
02:48:05,977 --> 02:48:07,212
will be the draft elements. So

4321
02:48:07,212 --> 02:48:09,612
the draft elements themselves

4322
02:48:11,820 --> 02:48:11,850
of the plans we'll be making,

4323
02:48:11,850 --> 02:48:12,550
you know, showing all the

4324
02:48:12,550 --> 02:48:14,652
changes that we've made based

4325
02:48:14,652 --> 02:48:16,722
on all the feedback that we've

4326
02:48:16,722 --> 02:48:18,991
heard and that will be

4327
02:48:18,991 --> 02:48:20,692
published in the fall and then

4328
02:48:20,692 --> 02:48:21,560
we will have more public

4329
02:48:21,560 --> 02:48:22,260
public and then comment and

4330
02:48:22,260 --> 02:48:23,762
say, did we actually get the

4331
02:48:23,762 --> 02:48:25,664
changes right? That people

4332
02:48:25,664 --> 02:48:26,764
said are there still more

4333
02:48:26,764 --> 02:48:28,500
changes to be made? So they'll

4334
02:48:28,500 --> 02:48:30,868
be public comment period from

4335
02:48:30,868 --> 02:48:33,404
winter of late of this year, 3

4336
02:48:33,404 --> 02:48:34,239
spring of 2027. So there's

4337
02:48:34,239 --> 02:48:36,740
still a lot more time for even

4338
02:48:36,740 --> 02:48:38,740
additional comments and

4339
02:48:38,377 --> 02:48:39,744
changes. And then we're we're

4340
02:48:39,744 --> 02:48:42,744
planning on adoption in this.

4341
02:48:43,114 --> 02:48:46,114
The fall summer of 2027 and

4342
02:48:46,585 --> 02:48:47,318
will make additional changes

4343
02:48:47,318 --> 02:48:48,720
that we hear from those public

4344
02:48:48,720 --> 02:48:51,720
comments before you bring that

4345
02:48:53,758 --> 02:48:54,659
final adoption. So just as a

4346
02:48:54,659 --> 02:48:55,960
reminder, the general plan

4347
02:48:55,960 --> 02:48:56,561
update have guiding principles

4348
02:48:56,561 --> 02:48:58,229
that advance equity by

4349
02:48:58,229 --> 02:48:59,664
establishing more just

4350
02:48:59,664 --> 02:49:00,298
policies they're related to

4351
02:49:00,298 --> 02:49:03,340
land, uses parks and open

4352
02:49:03,340 --> 02:49:03,701
space and transportation. You

4353
02:49:03,701 --> 02:49:05,336
want to assure people have

4354
02:49:05,336 --> 02:49:07,273
homes and feel how healthy and

4355
02:49:07,273 --> 02:49:08,641
safe celebrate the many

4356
02:49:08,641 --> 02:49:11,410
cultures of Oakland support,

4357
02:49:12,176 --> 02:49:13,579
good jobs, existing leveraging

4358
02:49:13,579 --> 02:49:14,345
existing economic strengths,

4359
02:49:14,345 --> 02:49:15,460
welcome new opportunities and

4360
02:49:15,460 --> 02:49:17,446
also create better connected

4361
02:49:18,850 --> 02:49:21,190
neighborhoods. So for the

4362
02:49:21,190 --> 02:49:23,419
draft Leonys framework, we

4363
02:49:23,856 --> 02:49:25,223
essentially looked at for land

4364
02:49:25,223 --> 02:49:26,724
use and transportation to

4365
02:49:26,724 --> 02:49:27,458
create walkable connected

4366
02:49:27,458 --> 02:49:28,160
neighborhoods. We want to sure

4367
02:49:28,160 --> 02:49:29,994
that everybody can get to the

4368
02:49:29,994 --> 02:49:32,994
services that they need within

4369
02:49:35,867 --> 02:49:36,868
a walkable distance. Also

4370
02:49:36,868 --> 02:49:37,535
improving transit connections,

4371
02:49:37,535 --> 02:49:39,380
which we know there is some

4372
02:49:39,380 --> 02:49:41,438
discussion that earlier today

4373
02:49:42,140 --> 02:49:42,808
in council focus on

4374
02:49:42,808 --> 02:49:43,742
high-density development in

4375
02:49:43,742 --> 02:49:45,543
the downtown and San Antonio

4376
02:49:45,543 --> 02:49:46,711
through Bell Coliseum areas

4377
02:49:46,711 --> 02:49:49,111
along major corridors also

4378
02:49:50,281 --> 02:49:51,417
address illegal dumping

4379
02:49:51,417 --> 02:49:52,550
economic development is very

4380
02:49:52,550 --> 02:49:54,453
important along with city's

4381
02:49:54,453 --> 02:49:56,453
economic development action

4382
02:49:57,388 --> 02:49:58,560
plan, support current and grow

4383
02:49:58,560 --> 02:50:00,456
key industries, support and

4384
02:50:00,458 --> 02:50:01,759
sustain and support businesses

4385
02:50:01,759 --> 02:50:02,560
build Oakland's workplace,

4386
02:50:02,560 --> 02:50:05,631
invest in places and also for

4387
02:50:05,631 --> 02:50:06,497
parks and open space. Create

4388
02:50:06,497 --> 02:50:08,897
Greenway networks to connect

4389
02:50:11,350 --> 02:50:11,669
communities and price ties us

4390
02:50:11,669 --> 02:50:12,204
religious communities set

4391
02:50:12,204 --> 02:50:14,204
standards for park

4392
02:50:15,975 --> 02:50:16,674
maintenance. So this was the

4393
02:50:16,674 --> 02:50:19,674
overall concept of looking at

4394
02:50:20,546 --> 02:50:21,779
the land use code of news

4395
02:50:21,779 --> 02:50:22,880
comes concepts. So the red

4396
02:50:22,880 --> 02:50:25,880
areas are the major centers.

4397
02:50:26,684 --> 02:50:28,854
The pink are the neighborhood

4398
02:50:28,854 --> 02:50:31,824
centers and then the new

4399
02:50:31,824 --> 02:50:33,920
technology research areas. And

4400
02:50:33,920 --> 02:50:33,758
then there's also green areas

4401
02:50:33,758 --> 02:50:36,158
proposing for potential new

4402
02:50:39,297 --> 02:50:42,166
parks. So for the land use

4403
02:50:42,166 --> 02:50:42,834
designations, looking at

4404
02:50:42,834 --> 02:50:44,302
having higher densities of

4405
02:50:44,302 --> 02:50:46,302
residential along major

4406
02:50:47,672 --> 02:50:49,440
corridors for to help better

4407
02:50:49,440 --> 02:50:50,576
support transit. The dark

4408
02:50:50,576 --> 02:50:51,809
purple again is areas of

4409
02:50:51,809 --> 02:50:52,811
technology research, which is

4410
02:50:52,811 --> 02:50:56,411
in West Oakland area and just

4411
02:50:56,681 --> 02:50:58,651
west of the Coliseum. And then

4412
02:50:58,651 --> 02:50:59,884
we also have purple light

4413
02:50:59,884 --> 02:51:00,953
purple areas that are around

4414
02:51:00,953 --> 02:51:03,155
the bart stations for mixed

4415
02:51:03,155 --> 02:51:06,755
use areas in light. Gray isn't

4416
02:51:07,250 --> 02:51:07,926
new low impact and a category

4417
02:51:07,926 --> 02:51:10,926
to buffer Indust. Have your

4418
02:51:11,996 --> 02:51:13,365
duster uses from residential?

4419
02:51:13,365 --> 02:51:14,330
So again, we had engagement

4420
02:51:14,330 --> 02:51:17,633
draft land use frame are we

4421
02:51:17,702 --> 02:51:19,638
had over 800 Commons. We had

4422
02:51:19,638 --> 02:51:21,272
workshops and different

4423
02:51:21,272 --> 02:51:22,700
council districts. We had

4424
02:51:22,700 --> 02:51:24,275
boards and commission meetings

4425
02:51:24,275 --> 02:51:27,275
and a pop-up events. And

4426
02:51:28,246 --> 02:51:30,150
again, we're continuing to

4427
02:51:30,150 --> 02:51:30,682
have more engagement this

4428
02:51:30,682 --> 02:51:33,682
summer and will continue to

4429
02:51:33,718 --> 02:51:34,420
meet with constituents of

4430
02:51:34,420 --> 02:51:36,521
where we've received letters.

4431
02:51:36,521 --> 02:51:37,221
And we want to get, you know,

4432
02:51:37,221 --> 02:51:39,621
additional feedback and have

4433
02:51:40,825 --> 02:51:42,895
discussions with them. So what

4434
02:51:42,895 --> 02:51:43,561
we've heard so far, a lot

4435
02:51:43,561 --> 02:51:44,296
really the importance of

4436
02:51:44,296 --> 02:51:46,397
leveraging the city's existing

4437
02:51:46,397 --> 02:51:48,397
legacy. Industrial businesses.

4438
02:51:48,900 --> 02:51:51,700
And we want to make sure that

4439
02:51:51,700 --> 02:51:51,903
we've heard loud and clear

4440
02:51:51,903 --> 02:51:52,771
that, you know, that is

4441
02:51:52,771 --> 02:51:53,838
something that is important

4442
02:51:53,838 --> 02:51:55,574
that is really brought the

4443
02:51:55,574 --> 02:51:57,643
what is what is Oakland,

4444
02:51:57,643 --> 02:51:59,110
Oakland and continue that

4445
02:51:59,110 --> 02:51:59,712
especially with port

4446
02:51:59,712 --> 02:52:00,379
supporting the port of

4447
02:52:00,379 --> 02:52:02,280
Oakland, all the businesses

4448
02:52:02,280 --> 02:52:03,849
that are serving the port as

4449
02:52:03,849 --> 02:52:04,950
well as addressing illegal

4450
02:52:04,950 --> 02:52:06,950
dumping. That's happening,

4451
02:52:07,785 --> 02:52:08,486
support existing businesses,

4452
02:52:08,486 --> 02:52:10,886
improve maintenance of public

4453
02:52:12,724 --> 02:52:13,391
facilities like our libraries,

4454
02:52:13,391 --> 02:52:14,580
also prioritize affordable

4455
02:52:14,580 --> 02:52:15,793
housing develops rising to

4456
02:52:15,793 --> 02:52:17,793
prevent displacement and

4457
02:52:18,796 --> 02:52:19,531
gentrification plan climate

4458
02:52:19,531 --> 02:52:22,531
changes and also supports arts

4459
02:52:23,101 --> 02:52:25,360
and culture and also reduce

4460
02:52:25,360 --> 02:52:25,604
the where we have conflicts

4461
02:52:25,604 --> 02:52:27,604
with residential and

4462
02:52:32,544 --> 02:52:33,678
industrial areas. For for

4463
02:52:33,678 --> 02:52:35,380
transportation. We want to

4464
02:52:35,380 --> 02:52:36,800
heard as well as really the

4465
02:52:36,800 --> 02:52:38,480
importance of establishing a

4466
02:52:39,384 --> 02:52:40,118
goods movement policy and

4467
02:52:40,118 --> 02:52:42,554
updating our truck routes. And

4468
02:52:42,554 --> 02:52:43,254
so we've already had some

4469
02:52:43,254 --> 02:52:43,955
discussions with stakeholders

4470
02:52:43,955 --> 02:52:45,823
on that. We will continue to

4471
02:52:45,823 --> 02:52:47,625
have those discussions with

4472
02:52:47,625 --> 02:52:50,250
meetings and workshops this

4473
02:52:51,630 --> 02:52:51,696
summer into the fall. Also to

4474
02:52:51,696 --> 02:52:53,696
create protected bicycle

4475
02:52:55,200 --> 02:52:56,768
lanes, approve roadways,

4476
02:52:56,768 --> 02:52:57,403
prioritize disability access

4477
02:52:57,403 --> 02:52:58,670
and said a company that a

4478
02:52:58,670 --> 02:53:01,720
vision for transit service and

4479
02:53:01,720 --> 02:53:01,807
improve the efficiency of

4480
02:53:01,807 --> 02:53:04,207
public transit increase safety

4481
02:53:06,245 --> 02:53:06,945
reliability. Parks and open

4482
02:53:06,945 --> 02:53:10,140
space. Heard a lot about the

4483
02:53:10,140 --> 02:53:11,316
need to improve part

4484
02:53:11,316 --> 02:53:13,316
maintenance and programming

4485
02:53:13,318 --> 02:53:13,952
and increase acquittal eckel

4486
02:53:13,952 --> 02:53:16,952
access to parks and open

4487
02:53:17,121 --> 02:53:18,323
spaces plant more trees, more

4488
02:53:18,323 --> 02:53:19,240
parks and greenways in East

4489
02:53:19,240 --> 02:53:19,891
Oakland and partner with

4490
02:53:19,891 --> 02:53:22,860
native tribes in planning for

4491
02:53:22,860 --> 02:53:25,630
parks and open space. So in

4492
02:53:25,630 --> 02:53:27,932
the next steps. So as you can

4493
02:53:27,932 --> 02:53:31,532
see, they're still a lot of

4494
02:53:31,904 --> 02:53:32,571
time left here. And so again

4495
02:53:32,571 --> 02:53:33,271
in the summer and the fall,

4496
02:53:33,271 --> 02:53:35,641
we're having additional focus

4497
02:53:35,641 --> 02:53:36,908
group meetings with

4498
02:53:36,908 --> 02:53:38,908
stakeholders the industrial

4499
02:53:39,430 --> 02:53:40,712
uses and the truck route since

4500
02:53:40,712 --> 02:53:43,114
we've heard a lot of comments

4501
02:53:43,114 --> 02:53:44,716
about concerns about those

4502
02:53:44,716 --> 02:53:45,416
designations. And we've

4503
02:53:45,416 --> 02:53:47,619
already been, as I mentioned,

4504
02:53:47,619 --> 02:53:48,287
having some meetings with

4505
02:53:48,287 --> 02:53:48,987
stakeholders are ready and

4506
02:53:48,987 --> 02:53:50,255
will we will be reaching out

4507
02:53:50,255 --> 02:53:51,956
to have more of these

4508
02:53:51,956 --> 02:53:52,625
meetings. And we're in the

4509
02:53:52,625 --> 02:53:53,258
process of addressing these

4510
02:53:53,258 --> 02:53:55,658
people this feedback and

4511
02:53:55,793 --> 02:53:57,228
making these changes. So then

4512
02:53:57,228 --> 02:53:59,564
in the fall of 2026, is when

4513
02:53:59,564 --> 02:54:02,660
we released the draft general

4514
02:54:02,660 --> 02:54:03,568
plan elements which will have,

4515
02:54:03,568 --> 02:54:04,836
again, a large public

4516
02:54:04,836 --> 02:54:07,236
engagement process that will

4517
02:54:07,739 --> 02:54:08,406
go through the spring of 2027

4518
02:54:08,406 --> 02:54:10,175
and we'll continue to make

4519
02:54:10,175 --> 02:54:12,575
additional changes based on

4520
02:54:13,712 --> 02:54:14,380
that feedback. And then in the

4521
02:54:14,380 --> 02:54:16,780
winter of of twenty-twenty

4522
02:54:17,483 --> 02:54:18,216
start. 26 2027. Will also

4523
02:54:18,216 --> 02:54:21,216
released draft. Are and have

4524
02:54:21,453 --> 02:54:22,120
few back on that and several

4525
02:54:22,120 --> 02:54:24,389
continue to make additional

4526
02:54:24,389 --> 02:54:26,624
changes based on the feedback

4527
02:54:26,624 --> 02:54:27,292
and then the plan is in the

4528
02:54:27,292 --> 02:54:29,127
spring through the fall. We

4529
02:54:29,127 --> 02:54:31,127
will make additional

4530
02:54:31,129 --> 02:54:31,963
refinements based on the

4531
02:54:31,963 --> 02:54:34,966
comments that we got on the

4532
02:54:34,966 --> 02:54:35,868
draft elements and then bring

4533
02:54:35,868 --> 02:54:37,769
to counsel the final for

4534
02:54:37,769 --> 02:54:39,203
adoption in fall of 2027. And

4535
02:54:39,203 --> 02:54:39,872
that concludes my

4536
02:54:39,872 --> 02:54:41,606
presentation. Thank you so

4537
02:54:41,606 --> 02:54:44,606
much for that. Appreciate it.

4538
02:54:48,213 --> 02:54:50,613
Councilmember Houston. Is to

4539
02:54:50,816 --> 02:54:53,510
the chair. Can we go back to

4540
02:54:53,510 --> 02:54:53,919
wishes land use? What what

4541
02:54:53,919 --> 02:54:56,919
we've heard so far when

4542
02:54:57,555 --> 02:54:59,955
you're. But the 0.1, very

4543
02:55:04,950 --> 02:55:07,950
important to me. Kate Upton

4544
02:55:11,903 --> 02:55:12,671
and then we can go back And

4545
02:55:12,671 --> 02:55:13,571
while we're looking for that

4546
02:55:13,571 --> 02:55:16,571
wanted to ask, Mr, Gilchrist,

4547
02:55:17,760 --> 02:55:18,760
You're right there. Top Nolan

4548
02:55:18,760 --> 02:55:20,476
Evers, the city's legacy

4549
02:55:21,145 --> 02:55:23,145
industrial businesses. I

4550
02:55:23,716 --> 02:55:24,649
didn't see anything in here

4551
02:55:24,649 --> 02:55:26,649
about grandfather businesses

4552
02:55:27,385 --> 02:55:28,354
in this being here. Legacy a

4553
02:55:28,354 --> 02:55:31,354
long time on, especially when

4554
02:55:32,658 --> 02:55:33,591
you go back to. Says, go back

4555
02:55:33,591 --> 02:55:37,329
to figure to when you see that

4556
02:55:37,329 --> 02:55:37,962
Ruby red looks like my

4557
02:55:37,962 --> 02:55:39,932
district is be changed on

4558
02:55:39,932 --> 02:55:42,332
Salinger corridor. So look

4559
02:55:42,434 --> 02:55:45,237
what it says right leverage. I

4560
02:55:45,237 --> 02:55:47,138
mean, good to see the legacy.

4561
02:55:47,138 --> 02:55:48,600
Industrial businesses. Is it

4562
02:55:48,600 --> 02:55:48,573
anything in this that talked

4563
02:55:48,573 --> 02:55:50,573
about grandfather, a

4564
02:55:52,760 --> 02:55:53,811
grandfather clause. Yes, oh,

4565
02:55:53,811 --> 02:55:56,211
yeah. All businesses, you

4566
02:55:57,682 --> 02:55:58,383
know, if they were to become

4567
02:55:58,383 --> 02:56:01,120
were they were allowed would

4568
02:56:01,120 --> 02:56:04,120
be grandfathered in what I

4569
02:56:05,230 --> 02:56:05,891
would say is that the areas

4570
02:56:05,891 --> 02:56:07,926
that you're talking about

4571
02:56:07,926 --> 02:56:10,162
specifically get 98th in San

4572
02:56:10,162 --> 02:56:12,562
Leandro. We've actually had

4573
02:56:12,664 --> 02:56:14,399
discussions with particular

4574
02:56:14,399 --> 02:56:15,990
group is the Medford

4575
02:56:15,990 --> 02:56:17,168
Industrial group. We had a

4576
02:56:17,168 --> 02:56:19,400
very productive meeting with

4577
02:56:19,400 --> 02:56:20,872
them. And we are recommending

4578
02:56:20,872 --> 02:56:23,872
changes based on that meeting

4579
02:56:24,876 --> 02:56:27,378
to their area. So that and I

4580
02:56:27,378 --> 02:56:28,790
believe they were happy with

4581
02:56:28,790 --> 02:56:29,815
the recommend changes that we

4582
02:56:29,815 --> 02:56:30,615
we discussed in that meeting.

4583
02:56:30,615 --> 02:56:33,919
Yes, and I have a constituent

4584
02:56:33,919 --> 02:56:34,652
here that you don't need that

4585
02:56:34,652 --> 02:56:37,652
need appreciate because I want

4586
02:56:38,289 --> 02:56:38,990
to direct no staff. I want

4587
02:56:38,990 --> 02:56:40,858
appreciate if you went and

4588
02:56:40,858 --> 02:56:41,559
spoke her and she's going to

4589
02:56:41,559 --> 02:56:42,194
be speaking in a second. Can

4590
02:56:42,194 --> 02:56:45,194
you go back to figure? 2

4591
02:56:48,800 --> 02:56:51,800
figure, 2. Was figure one and

4592
02:56:51,869 --> 02:56:54,869
in figure 2 where district 7 s

4593
02:56:56,508 --> 02:56:58,908
there's nothing cute, too.

4594
02:56:59,440 --> 02:56:59,777
Sorry. The the the union okay.

4595
02:56:59,777 --> 02:57:02,213
So look at my district, right?

4596
02:57:02,213 --> 02:57:02,914
There's all Ruby red purple

4597
02:57:02,914 --> 02:57:03,582
down. And what does that say?

4598
02:57:03,582 --> 02:57:06,784
Because I can't see it this

4599
02:57:06,784 --> 02:57:10,384
close. This is housing. So the

4600
02:57:11,122 --> 02:57:12,991
dirt red is regional

4601
02:57:12,991 --> 02:57:13,858
commercial and which is the

4602
02:57:13,858 --> 02:57:15,761
area that right now that is

4603
02:57:15,761 --> 02:57:16,494
re-designated around Heggen

4604
02:57:16,494 --> 02:57:17,128
burger as regional commercial.

4605
02:57:17,128 --> 02:57:19,598
So the purpose of that is

4606
02:57:19,598 --> 02:57:20,798
really to have hotels and

4607
02:57:20,798 --> 02:57:22,767
commercial type businesses

4608
02:57:22,767 --> 02:57:25,360
that serve the region as well

4609
02:57:25,360 --> 02:57:27,805
as specially for the that the

4610
02:57:27,805 --> 02:57:30,109
airport in the Coliseum. I

4611
02:57:30,109 --> 02:57:30,775
just want to talk about a

4612
02:57:30,775 --> 02:57:32,775
grandfather, MR. Gilchrist.

4613
02:57:34,313 --> 02:57:36,749
All right. Thank you. Let's

4614
02:57:36,749 --> 02:57:40,349
go. Let's go to the public

4615
02:57:42,854 --> 02:57:43,521
speakers. As a who's opposed

4616
02:57:43,521 --> 02:57:45,921
to putting order precision.

4617
02:57:45,925 --> 02:57:46,625
And for the record before

4618
02:57:46,625 --> 02:57:47,859
beginning, if you're on zoom,

02:57:47,859 --> 02:57:49,461

Welcome. Said, I don't have

4651
02:59:31,629 --> 02:59:35,229
to. Yeah. Could not hold it

4652
02:59:37,268 --> 02:59:38,504
against me. Oakland is a

4653
02:59:38,504 --> 02:59:39,103
beautiful place, but the

4654
02:59:39,103 --> 02:59:39,804
city's current land use

4655
02:59:39,804 --> 02:59:42,204
policies are actively erasing

4656
02:59:42,875 --> 02:59:43,574
the plants and animals. Thank

4657
02:59:43,574 --> 02:59:44,276
you, MR. Identity the city of

4658
02:59:44,276 --> 02:59:47,478
Oakland was the symbol of an

4659
02:59:47,478 --> 02:59:48,146
oak tree on every street sign.

4660
02:59:48,146 --> 02:59:48,813
Yeah. Every time an old oak

4661
02:59:48,813 --> 02:59:49,447
ties. It gets replaced by a

4662
02:59:49,447 --> 02:59:50,315
tree from Europe like the

4663
02:59:50,315 --> 02:59:51,883
London plans there so often

4664
02:59:51,883 --> 02:59:53,510
planted. I know about y'all,

4665
02:59:53,510 --> 02:59:55,987
but I don't live in London. I

4666
02:59:55,987 --> 02:59:58,824
live in Oakland land of the

4667
02:59:58,824 --> 02:59:59,491
coast live Oak Quercus Agra a

4668
02:59:59,491 --> 03:00:02,491
tree that set that supports

4669
03:00:02,561 --> 03:00:03,262
over 250 species. These 4

4670
03:00:03,262 --> 03:00:04,763
entries don't just robbed us

4671
03:00:04,763 --> 03:00:05,463
of our unique sense of place,

4672
03:00:05,463 --> 03:00:08,320
but they cut the tree of life

4673
03:00:08,320 --> 03:00:08,968
off at the roots. Oakland is

4674
03:00:08,968 --> 03:00:10,690
home to the most beautiful

4675
03:00:10,690 --> 03:00:10,903
drought and fired at U.S.

4676
03:00:10,903 --> 03:00:12,771
Bases in the whole world. And

4677
03:00:12,771 --> 03:00:14,706
all we have to do is plant

4678
03:00:14,706 --> 03:00:16,608
them requiring 100% of the

4679
03:00:16,608 --> 03:00:17,575
plant planted on city property

4680
03:00:17,575 --> 03:00:18,276
and 50% on private

4681
03:00:18,276 --> 03:00:19,811
developments to be native to

4682
03:00:19,811 --> 03:00:21,546
the Bay Area. We'll ensure

4683
03:00:21,546 --> 03:00:23,381
that all of the city's

4684
03:00:23,381 --> 03:00:24,583
residents, not just the rich

4685
03:00:24,583 --> 03:00:25,516
folks in the hills can benefit

4686
03:00:25,516 --> 03:00:27,719
from the very real improving

4687
03:00:27,719 --> 03:00:30,719
benefits that come with being

4688
03:00:30,823 --> 03:00:31,423
part of healthy City of Khost

4689
03:00:31,423 --> 03:00:32,123
System. Bird songs in

4690
03:00:32,123 --> 03:00:34,523
crickets, reduce the effects

4691
03:00:34,893 --> 03:00:35,593
of urban noise into tempers.

4692
03:00:35,593 --> 03:00:38,620
That's more. But it's not too

4693
03:00:38,620 --> 03:00:38,796
late to savor. It. Your name?

4694
03:00:38,796 --> 03:00:42,396
Please? I say to address Thank

4695
03:00:51,677 --> 03:00:54,770
you. Good afternoon. Council

4696
03:00:56,748 --> 03:00:57,315
Linda since 1989, our family

4697
03:00:57,315 --> 03:00:58,650

4698

03:01:06,391 --> 03:01:08,391
in districts, 6, 7, Thousands

generated and or are what

4703
03:01:13,532 --> 03:01:15,932
Oakland warehouse roof tops.

4704
03:01:16,201 --> 03:01:18,201
Please preserve vital

03:01:19,370 --> 03:01:20,838
industrial zoning. 2 safeties

4706
03:01:20,838 --> 03:01:23,641

4707
03:01:23,641 --> 03:01:24,809
Oakland and good goods

4708
03:01:24,809 --> 03:01:27,209
movement in Oakland. Thank

4709
03:01:36,655 --> 03:01:38,525
you. Good evening,

4710
03:01:38,525 --> 03:01:39,757
councilmembers. My name is

4711
03:01:39,757 --> 03:01:40,826
Christian Odom. I share your

4712
03:01:40,826 --> 03:01:43,826
vision for a more affordable,

4713
03:01:44,163 --> 03:01:45,163
vibrant, an equitable Oakland.

4714
03:01:45,163 --> 03:01:47,732
The port of Oakland is one of

4715
03:01:47,732 --> 03:01:50,132
the city's greatest economic

4716
03:01:51,669 --> 03:01:53,104
assets supports nearly 100,000

4717
03:01:53,104 --> 03:01:55,504
regional jobs and 174 billion

4718
03:01:56,842 --> 03:01:58,277
dollars in economic activity.

4719
03:01:58,277 --> 03:01:59,777
That's over a billion dollars

4720
03:01:59,777 --> 03:02:02,777
in tax revenue for schools,

4721
03:02:02,880 --> 03:02:05,880
roads and public services once

4722
03:02:05,984 --> 03:02:07,585
industrial land is rezoned and

4723
03:02:07,585 --> 03:02:08,286
developed, it's gone and every

4724
03:02:08,286 --> 03:02:09,455
acre acre we lose weakens the

4725
03:02:09,455 --> 03:02:11,855
ecosystem that keeps the

4726
03:02:13,425 --> 03:02:14,525
port's competitive. Oakland's

4727
03:02:14,525 --> 03:02:15,694
economy depends on the port.

4728
03:02:15,694 --> 03:02:16,361
So let's protect that land

4729
03:02:16,361 --> 03:02:19,361
that allows it to succeed.

4730
03:02:29,874 --> 03:02:30,576
Thank a little Good evening.

4731
03:02:30,576 --> 03:02:31,943
Councilmembers Skyler wanted

4732
03:02:31,943 --> 03:02:32,978
got here on behalf of the

4733
03:02:32,978 --> 03:02:33,978
commercial real Estate

4734
03:02:33,978 --> 03:02:34,812
Development Association of

4735

Steam, Cisco Bay Area and the

4736

California business Properties

4737
03:02:38,450 --> 03:02:39,830
Association. First, I want to

4738
03:02:39,830 --> 03:02:39,717
thank the city staff are

4739
03:02:39,717 --> 03:02:41,552
continuing to engage with

4740
03:02:41,552 --> 03:02:43,552
stakeholders throughout this

4741
03:02:43,688 --> 03:02:45,490
process. We appreciate that.

4742
03:02:45,490 --> 03:02:46,325
The supplemental report

4743
03:02:46,325 --> 03:02:47,250
reflects many of the

4744
03:02:47,250 --> 03:02:48,694
recommendations raised by the

4745
03:02:48,694 --> 03:02:50,428
industry on goods movement,

4746
03:02:50,428 --> 03:02:51,429
community, including planning

4747
03:02:51,429 --> 03:02:51,996
for goods movement, truck

4748
03:02:51,996 --> 03:02:53,996
routes and preserving

4749
03:02:54,399 --> 03:02:56,399
Oakland's industrial lands.

4750
03:02:56,467 --> 03:02:57,169
Well, that is meaningful

4751
03:02:57,169 --> 03:02:58,569
progress. We remain concerned

4752
03:02:58,569 --> 03:03:00,772
that the current framework

4753
03:03:00,772 --> 03:03:01,440
continues to reduce the

4754
03:03:01,440 --> 03:03:03,750
flexibility for logistics.

4755
03:03:03,750 --> 03:03:05,475
Distribution and rail uses

4756
03:03:05,977 --> 03:03:07,345
that are critical to Oakland's

4757
03:03:07,345 --> 03:03:08,246
economy. Roll infrastructure

4758
03:03:08,246 --> 03:03:10,214
is an essential component to

4759
03:03:10,214 --> 03:03:11,160
the region's goods movement

4760
03:03:11,160 --> 03:03:11,683
network and should remain

4761
03:03:11,683 --> 03:03:13,586
integrated with the city's

4762
03:03:13,586 --> 03:03:15,253
long-term industrial land use

4763
03:03:15,253 --> 03:03:17,653
planning. We respectfully ask

4764
03:03:18,122 --> 03:03:19,891
that any major land use or

4765
03:03:19,891 --> 03:03:21,427
zoning that changes affected

4766
03:03:21,427 --> 03:03:22,126
in industry wears be guided by

4767
03:03:22,126 --> 03:03:24,526
a comprehensive analysis of

4768
03:03:26,130 --> 03:03:27,199
industrial land needs good

4769
03:03:27,199 --> 03:03:28,132
movement and rail

4770
03:03:28,132 --> 03:03:28,833
infrastructure and employment

4771
03:03:28,833 --> 03:03:31,233
impacts before those changes

4772
03:03:44,850 --> 03:03:46,852
are made. We respectfully. Lou

4773
03:03:46,852 --> 03:03:47,953
City Council. My name is Jared

4774
03:03:47,953 --> 03:03:48,753
Mitchell and I am the founder

4775
03:03:48,753 --> 03:03:51,623
of the top project, which is a

4776
03:03:51,623 --> 03:03:53,625
street level Librarian Ship

4777
03:03:53,625 --> 03:03:55,793
Initiative. I attended the

4778
03:03:55,793 --> 03:03:56,362
Draft Land Use Framework

4779
03:03:56,362 --> 03:03:57,729
presentation that was

4780
03:03:57,729 --> 03:03:59,464
delivered to the library

4781
03:03:59,464 --> 03:04:00,398
Commission on MARCH 30th and

4782
03:04:00,398 --> 03:04:01,833
was encouraged to know that

4783
03:04:01,833 --> 03:04:04,233
there's robust process to

4784
03:04:04,302 --> 03:04:05,690
solicit community feedback was

4785
03:04:05,690 --> 03:04:05,703
under way. And I want to

4786
03:04:05,703 --> 03:04:06,804
commend the building and

4787
03:04:06,804 --> 03:04:08,740
planning Department for

4788
03:04:08,740 --> 03:04:10,676
facilitating it. I do have

4789
03:04:10,676 --> 03:04:11,609
concerns that we also might be

4790
03:04:11,609 --> 03:04:14,145
flying too high and looking

4791
03:04:14,145 --> 03:04:17,215
far too high on the sky level.

4792
03:04:17,215 --> 03:04:18,283
Oakland has very urgent

4793
03:04:18,283 --> 03:04:19,118
priorities at its city

4794
03:04:19,118 --> 03:04:20,840
facilities for the management

4795
03:04:20,840 --> 03:04:23,421
of its parts for the repairs

4796
03:04:23,421 --> 03:04:27,210
of its roads. I believe it

4797
03:04:27,826 --> 03:04:30,940
should be of high concern that

4798
03:04:30,940 --> 03:04:30,829
there are so many people who

4799
03:04:30,829 --> 03:04:31,996
still feel the need to provide

4800
03:04:31,996 --> 03:04:33,998
input outside of that

4801
03:04:33,998 --> 03:04:35,467
framework. I think that is in

4802
03:04:35,467 --> 03:04:37,502
part because the conveyor

4803
03:04:37,502 --> 03:04:39,404
feedback system is not

4804
03:04:39,404 --> 03:04:41,606
intuitive and not very

4805
03:04:41,606 --> 03:04:42,641
accessible. And there are

4806
03:04:42,641 --> 03:04:43,374
information improvements that

4807
03:04:43,374 --> 03:04:47,574
can and should be made to this

4808
03:04:56,287 --> 03:04:56,988
process. Thank you. Good

4809
03:04:56,988 --> 03:04:57,689
afternoon. PRESIDENT Jenkins

4810
03:04:57,689 --> 03:05:00,689
and council members. My name

4811
03:05:02,600 --> 03:05:02,794
is scene. I'm here not only

4812
03:05:02,794 --> 03:05:03,462
today to represent my

4813
03:05:03,462 --> 03:05:05,862
employee, pro largest, also

4814
03:05:06,264 --> 03:05:06,931
someone who is deeply invested

4815
03:05:06,931 --> 03:05:09,834
the future of Oakland as a

4816
03:05:09,834 --> 03:05:10,936
fellow comrades in myself.

4817
03:05:10,936 --> 03:05:12,904
Over the last several months,

4818
03:05:12,904 --> 03:05:14,139
we review the draft minutes

4819
03:05:14,139 --> 03:05:15,206
framework. The staff reports

4820
03:05:15,206 --> 03:05:15,908
and the hundreds of community

4821
03:05:15,908 --> 03:05:18,276
comments. One thing stood out

4822
03:05:18,276 --> 03:05:19,100
pretty clearly to us. The

4823
03:05:19,100 --> 03:05:22,100
community is asking for better

4824
03:05:22,981 --> 03:05:23,816
planning as they should.

4825
03:05:23,816 --> 03:05:25,917
There's asking for better more

4826
03:05:25,917 --> 03:05:26,618
affordable housing options,

4827
03:05:26,618 --> 03:05:28,618
safer neighborhoods, cleaner

4828
03:05:28,853 --> 03:05:30,855
streets, better transit parks,

4829
03:05:30,855 --> 03:05:31,590
more accountability. What they

4830
03:05:31,590 --> 03:05:32,290
did not ask for was a request

4831
03:05:32,290 --> 03:05:34,690
to reduce and Oakland's

4832
03:05:35,326 --> 03:05:36,594
industrial land use. Today

4833
03:05:36,594 --> 03:05:38,263
we're being asked to make

4834
03:05:38,263 --> 03:05:38,863
major land use decisions

4835
03:05:38,863 --> 03:05:39,497
before completing a

4836
03:05:39,497 --> 03:05:41,497
comprehensive analysis of

4837
03:05:42,234 --> 03:05:43,100
industrial and needs freight

4838
03:05:43,100 --> 03:05:44,535
movement and economic impacts

4839
03:05:44,535 --> 03:05:46,935
to Oakland's as 16 players.

4840
03:05:47,572 --> 03:05:49,674
This feels backwards. You

4841
03:05:49,674 --> 03:05:50,308
cannot support the port of

4842
03:05:50,308 --> 03:05:51,420
Oakland was shrinking the

4843
03:05:51,420 --> 03:05:54,420
industrial land that allows us

4844
03:05:54,800 --> 03:05:55,913
to function. Industrial and

4845
03:05:55,913 --> 03:05:56,649
isn't just vacant or obsolete

4846
03:05:56,649 --> 03:05:57,249
land waiting for you says it's

4847
03:05:57,249 --> 03:05:59,649
working land every day

4848
03:06:10,295 --> 03:06:11,290
supports k.

4849
03:06:11,290 --> 03:06:11,696
Good afternoon.

4850
03:06:11,696 --> 03:06:13,531
I'm Mary Cain, Simon, from

4851
03:06:13,531 --> 03:06:15,531
your Public Library

4852
03:06:15,633 --> 03:06:17,436
Commission. I came here today

4853
03:06:17,436 --> 03:06:21,507
to ask you as you go forward

4854
03:06:21,507 --> 03:06:23,274
with general plan, please bear

4855
03:06:23,274 --> 03:06:24,275
in mind your public libraries,

4856
03:06:24,275 --> 03:06:26,675
significant role that they

4857
03:06:26,879 --> 03:06:28,613
play in the community. There's

4858
03:06:28,613 --> 03:06:30,515
urban Libraries council and

4859
03:06:30,515 --> 03:06:33,515
they remind us that that

4860
03:06:33,652 --> 03:06:35,652
libraries, building

4861
03:06:36,454 --> 03:06:37,210
collections, good libraries,

4862
03:06:37,210 --> 03:06:37,656
build services, great

4863
03:06:37,656 --> 03:06:39,656
libraries, buildup, their

4864
03:06:40,392 --> 03:06:41,226
communities. We have great

4865
03:06:41,226 --> 03:06:43,626
libraries here in Oakland.

4866
03:06:45,290 --> 03:06:45,964
Please plan ahead. They are

4867
03:06:45,964 --> 03:06:47,533
your warming centers. When

4868
03:06:47,533 --> 03:06:48,232
it's cold. Anybody can walk in

4869
03:06:48,232 --> 03:06:50,902
the door and warm themselves.

4870
03:06:50,902 --> 03:06:52,737
Charge 2 devices. They are.

4871
03:06:52,737 --> 03:06:55,737
You are cooling centers. Wind

4872
03:06:56,400 --> 03:06:56,641
too hot. Same thing. They are

4873
03:06:56,641 --> 03:06:59,410
the guardians of Green

4874
03:06:59,110 --> 03:06:59,944
knowledge in Oakland. Where

4875
03:06:59,944 --> 03:07:03,481
else can you go to learn how

4876
03:07:03,481 --> 03:07:05,283
to set up your own chicken

4877
03:07:05,283 --> 03:07:07,252
hose and grace to continue

4878
03:07:07,252 --> 03:07:08,519
backyard and grow food in

4879
03:07:08,519 --> 03:07:09,721
metal containers. You can go

4880
03:07:09,721 --> 03:07:11,289
to the branch of the public

4881
03:07:11,289 --> 03:07:12,240
library. You can do that

4882
03:07:12,240 --> 03:07:15,240
today. You can go there

4883
03:07:25,700 --> 03:07:26,271
tonight for free movies. Good

4884
03:07:26,271 --> 03:07:27,238
Evening. Council council

4885
03:07:27,238 --> 03:07:28,600
members and Annie Whalen. I

4886
03:07:28,600 --> 03:07:28,674
work for Pacific American

4887
03:07:28,674 --> 03:07:31,740
Group. We manage industrial

4888
03:07:31,843 --> 03:07:32,544
property in District 6, 7, Our

4889
03:07:32,544 --> 03:07:33,945
sights here acquired 3 times

4890
03:07:33,945 --> 03:07:35,180
the personnel of comparable

4891
03:07:35,180 --> 03:07:35,947
properties elsewhere doing

4892
03:07:35,947 --> 03:07:37,947
daily with encampments,

4893
03:07:38,160 --> 03:07:39,510
break-ins, illegal dumping and

4894
03:07:39,510 --> 03:07:40,510
crumbling roads. These are

4895
03:07:40,510 --> 03:07:42,451
issues that directly threaten

4896
03:07:42,487 --> 03:07:44,455
our ability to operate leaser

4897
03:07:44,455 --> 03:07:45,124
buildings. These properties

4898
03:07:45,124 --> 03:07:45,790
served the port of Oakland,

4899
03:07:45,790 --> 03:07:47,590
moving the goods. All of us

4900
03:07:47,590 --> 03:07:49,527
rely on like the clothes we

4901
03:07:49,527 --> 03:07:51,729
wear, the food. We products on

4902
03:07:51,729 --> 03:07:52,664
store shelves. Many of these

4903
03:07:52,664 --> 03:07:54,465
same industrial sites could be

4904
03:07:54,465 --> 03:07:56,668
rezoned under this phase. 2

4905
03:07:56,668 --> 03:07:57,336
proposal, the port of Oakland

4906
03:07:57,336 --> 03:07:57,969
is one of the most balanced

4907
03:07:57,969 --> 03:07:58,670
ports in the country with

4908
03:07:58,670 --> 03:08:01,700
imports and exports matching

4909
03:08:01,439 --> 03:08:02,400
one to one, making it uniquely

4910
03:08:02,400 --> 03:08:04,400
efficient invaluable to

4911
03:08:04,509 --> 03:08:06,377
produce export, export goods

4912
03:08:06,377 --> 03:08:07,713
and businesses that import

4913
03:08:07,713 --> 03:08:09,415
goods alike. I think that is

4914
03:08:09,415 --> 03:08:10,615
an advantage the city should

4915
03:08:10,615 --> 03:08:11,350
lean into and support

4916
03:08:11,350 --> 03:08:12,170
industrial use property owners

4917
03:08:12,170 --> 03:08:13,419
as they continue to improve

4918
03:08:13,419 --> 03:08:15,419
the environmental footprint.

4919
03:08:21,259 --> 03:08:22,694
The goods movement sector.

4920
03:08:22,694 --> 03:08:25,940
Council members. I'm Jennifer

4921
03:08:26,980 --> 03:08:28,167
McIlrath I applaud the general

4922
03:08:28,167 --> 03:08:30,201
plan efforts that I am

4923
03:08:30,201 --> 03:08:32,201
cynical. Oakland's reputation

4924
03:08:32,438 --> 03:08:33,571
is that the plan will be

4925
03:08:33,571 --> 03:08:35,971
ignored. That council members

4926
03:08:36,800 --> 03:08:38,177
are beholden to developers

4927
03:08:38,177 --> 03:08:38,910
that the city only seeks the

4928
03:08:38,910 --> 03:08:41,910
most tax revenue rather than

4929
03:08:41,947 --> 03:08:43,947
pursuing affordable housing

4930
03:08:44,150 --> 03:08:44,717
that the city ignores its own

4931
03:08:44,717 --> 03:08:47,185
zoning and does not protests

4932
03:08:47,185 --> 03:08:50,122
state over rights. So yes, to

4933
03:08:50,122 --> 03:08:53,122
a city of neighborhoods but

4934
03:08:53,691 --> 03:08:55,460
proactively with backbone and

4935
03:08:55,460 --> 03:08:56,628
ideally and inclusive of all

4936
03:08:56,628 --> 03:08:58,628
facets concurrently by

4937
03:09:05,303 --> 03:09:05,971
neighborhood. Thank you. I see

4938
03:09:05,971 --> 03:09:09,571
my time and Ed Harris, Jon

4939
03:09:12,176 --> 03:09:15,176
Jones, the 3rd. Says. Good

4940
03:09:16,147 --> 03:09:17,348
evening. I'm David Harris.

4941
03:09:17,348 --> 03:09:17,950
PRESIDENT Urban Strategies

4942
03:09:17,950 --> 03:09:19,585
Council really back on

4943
03:09:19,585 --> 03:09:20,818
organization for the deeply

4944
03:09:20,818 --> 03:09:23,218
rooted collaborative a cult

4945
03:09:24,880 --> 03:09:24,656
consultant for the city that

4946
03:09:24,656 --> 03:09:26,656
consisted of over 13

4947
03:09:27,692 --> 03:09:30,920
organizations over the last

4948
03:09:31,262 --> 03:09:31,930
for years. We talked thousands

4949
03:09:31,930 --> 03:09:33,331
of Oakland residents and I

4950
03:09:33,331 --> 03:09:34,600
have to change what a plan to

4951
03:09:34,600 --> 03:09:37,735
say given some of the previous

4952
03:09:37,735 --> 03:09:38,337
comments before me land use

4953
03:09:38,337 --> 03:09:40,737
starts with people, not

4954
03:09:42,840 --> 03:09:44,743
businesses. Our land use

4955
03:09:44,743 --> 03:09:47,743
policies have been silo and

4956
03:09:48,113 --> 03:09:48,680
needs to include what your

4957
03:09:48,680 --> 03:09:50,680
residents are saying,

4958
03:09:50,682 --> 03:09:53,820
particularly those from the

4959
03:09:54,118 --> 03:09:55,190
flat lines. We uplift their

4960
03:09:55,190 --> 03:09:56,554
voices and take care of the

4961
03:09:56,554 --> 03:09:58,954
issues that they're concerned

4962
03:09:59,458 --> 03:10:01,727
about that will rise. The tide

4963
03:10:01,727 --> 03:10:03,528
for all residents of Oakland.

4964
03:10:03,528 --> 03:10:05,731
I want you to listen to young

4965
03:10:05,731 --> 03:10:06,731
people that will be following

4966
03:10:06,731 --> 03:10:09,731
me. They've been out there

4967
03:10:10,200 --> 03:10:10,668
talking your residence.

4968
03:10:10,668 --> 03:10:13,680
We've appreciated our work

4969
03:10:13,471 --> 03:10:17,710
with the city. The poll book

4970
03:10:17,175 --> 03:10:17,910
Planning and building But

4971
03:10:17,910 --> 03:10:18,643
these are the organizations

4972
03:10:18,643 --> 03:10:21,643
that have been involved. Black

4973
03:10:21,714 --> 03:10:22,381
culture is on Black Arts

4974
03:10:22,381 --> 03:10:24,381
Movement, Business District

4975
03:10:25,451 --> 03:10:27,850
Block by block organizing

4976
03:10:27,850 --> 03:10:29,420
network, border Seaside Arts

4977
03:10:29,420 --> 03:10:30,388

indicators projects. Those are

4985
03:10:44,680 --> 03:10:46,468
the organizations that you're

4986
03:10:48,239 --> 03:10:49,874
interested to help advance

4987
03:10:49,874 --> 03:10:50,776
this process and talk to your

4988
03:10:50,776 --> 03:10:52,610
constituents about what the

4989
03:10:52,610 --> 03:10:55,281
future of the city should be.

4990
03:10:55,281 --> 03:10:56,140
And it's the future of the

4991
03:10:56,140 --> 03:10:59,140
vision that these young people

4992
03:11:07,593 --> 03:11:10,593
represent. Just about as and

4993
03:11:13,640 --> 03:11:13,933
see my time, sir. Thank you.

4994
03:11:13,933 --> 03:11:15,601
Good Evening Council and thank

4995
03:11:15,601 --> 03:11:17,670

4996
03:11:17,670 --> 03:11:18,670
part partnership. My name is

Brooke trendy for and I've

4998
03:11:19,305 --> 03:11:20,805
been a fellow with Urban

4999
03:11:20,805 --> 03:11:22,840
Strategies Council for the

5000
03:11:22,840 --> 03:11:24,943
past year conducting community

5001
03:11:24,943 --> 03:11:25,944
engagement. Our cohort of

5002
03:11:25,944 --> 03:11:27,545
Fells ages 16 to 26 are

5003
03:11:27,545 --> 03:11:28,112
committed to making sure

5004
03:11:28,112 --> 03:11:28,813
Oaklanders voices are

5005
03:11:28,813 --> 03:11:31,183
represented in this critical

5006
03:11:31,183 --> 03:11:32,517
road map for the city. And

5007
03:11:32,517 --> 03:11:33,185
we'll continue this work until

5008
03:11:33,185 --> 03:11:35,687
the adoption of the general

5009
03:11:35,687 --> 03:11:38,389
plan in 2027 engagement to we

5010
03:11:38,389 --> 03:11:39,558
conducted has banned

5011
03:11:39,558 --> 03:11:40,291
conducting interviews on

5012
03:11:40,291 --> 03:11:42,127
public transit in both English

5013
03:11:42,127 --> 03:11:44,960
and Spanish across

5014
03:11:44,960 --> 03:11:46,960
generations. Gardening,

5015
03:11:46,365 --> 03:11:46,998
alongside students attending

5016
03:11:46,998 --> 03:11:47,733
Saturday's school. These

5017
03:11:47,733 --> 03:11:48,366
students have fallen behind on

5018
03:11:48,366 --> 03:11:50,235
a tenant's income way to

5019
03:11:50,235 --> 03:11:51,470
multiple target ease and also

5020
03:11:51,470 --> 03:11:53,380
leading vision board it to

5021
03:11:53,380 --> 03:11:53,739
these with elementary to high

schoolers drawing and collage

5023
03:11:54,440 --> 03:11:56,708
ideal community. They want to

5024
03:11:56,708 --> 03:11:57,375
grow up and our overarching

5025
03:11:57,375 --> 03:11:59,110
framework has been to make

5026
03:11:59,110 --> 03:12:00,278
government and civic

5027
03:12:00,278 --> 03:12:00,945
engagement accessible.

5028
03:12:00,945 --> 03:12:01,646
Additionally, we have been

5029
03:12:01,646 --> 03:12:03,314
guided by the fact that young

5030
03:12:03,314 --> 03:12:04,949
people, including those under

5031
03:12:04,949 --> 03:12:05,650
18 can vote for their

5032
03:12:05,650 --> 03:12:07,650
representation, are still

5033
03:12:08,486 --> 03:12:09,454
constituents of this council.

5034
03:12:09,454 --> 03:12:10,288
As the general plan update

5035
03:12:10,288 --> 03:12:12,900
will lead the development of

5036
03:12:12,900 --> 03:12:13,424
an open our youth, one hair.

5037
03:12:13,424 --> 03:12:16,127
It urban charges is urging

5038
03:12:16,127 --> 03:12:17,295
consideration of our findings.

5039
03:12:17,295 --> 03:12:18,763
We support the priority staff

5040
03:12:18,763 --> 03:12:20,132
presented but also want to

5041
03:12:20,132 --> 03:12:20,999
highlight the community's

5042
03:12:20,999 --> 03:12:23,399
continued concern. The process

5043
03:12:24,690 --> 03:12:24,736
engagement execution. Looking

5044
03:12:24,736 --> 03:12:26,805
at a few specific examples

5045
03:12:26,805 --> 03:12:28,607
from the staff report

5046
03:12:28,607 --> 03:12:30,476
expanding parks, greenways and

5047
03:12:30,476 --> 03:12:31,176
trolling access. We want need

5048
03:12:31,176 --> 03:12:34,346
a plan, speed allies as they

5049
03:12:34,346 --> 03:12:34,980
are more fire resistant. Also,

5050
03:12:34,980 --> 03:12:35,948
if you're to expand these

5051
03:12:35,948 --> 03:12:36,649
areas, we want more regular

5052
03:12:36,649 --> 03:12:38,216
maintenance, trash, cleanup,

5053
03:12:38,216 --> 03:12:40,151
and better lighting for

5054
03:12:40,151 --> 03:12:42,353
safety. It's part jobs in

5055
03:12:42,353 --> 03:12:43,222
emerging industries. We want

5056
03:12:43,222 --> 03:12:44,456
environmental and racial

5057
03:12:44,456 --> 03:12:45,490
impacts be considered what not

5058
03:12:45,490 --> 03:12:47,225
to resources to be preserved.

5059
03:12:47,225 --> 03:12:49,160
We also want to make sure

5060
03:12:49,160 --> 03:12:49,827
land, especially east and West

5061
03:12:49,827 --> 03:12:51,429
Oakland not be re-zoned for

5062
03:12:51,429 --> 03:12:53,564
industrial use such as data

5063
03:12:53,564 --> 03:12:55,964
centers regarding housing and

5064
03:12:56,302 --> 03:12:57,268
implement implementation of sb

5065
03:12:57,268 --> 03:12:58,537
79. We are also concerned, but

5066
03:12:58,537 --> 03:13:00,406
with a housing development

5067
03:13:00,406 --> 03:13:01,390
will include deeply affordable

5068
03:13:01,390 --> 03:13:01,739
in affordable housing. In

5069
03:13:01,739 --> 03:13:03,508
addition to preference is to

5070
03:13:03,508 --> 03:13:04,475
get current oaklanders into

5071
03:13:04,475 --> 03:13:05,143
those units without

5072
03:13:05,143 --> 03:13:06,644
consideration for

5073
03:13:06,644 --> 03:13:07,812
affordability. Prioritizing

5074
03:13:07,812 --> 03:13:08,479
more market rate. Housing

5075
03:13:08,479 --> 03:13:09,148
means units will sit vacant

5076
03:13:09,148 --> 03:13:11,950
and people will continue to

5077
03:13:11,950 --> 03:13:12,651
remain on housed. But this,

5078
03:13:12,651 --> 03:13:13,318
Michael, it's what detail for

5079
03:13:13,318 --> 03:13:13,985
the findings. Thank you for

5080
03:13:13,985 --> 03:13:16,985
your time and commitment to

5081
03:13:21,993 --> 03:13:25,593
Oakland. Pio on Zoom and Alec,

5082
03:13:27,132 --> 03:13:30,101
how will see their time to me?

5083
03:13:30,101 --> 03:13:33,101
Good afternoon. My name's we

03:13:35,390 --> 03:13:37,275

or use eating your time. Yes,

5086
03:13:39,711 --> 03:13:41,646
as you might add. Thank you.

5087
03:13:41,646 --> 03:13:43,315
And what was the other name?

5088
03:13:43,315 --> 03:13:47,515
Alan Cow? Is he on zone as

5089
03:13:48,786 --> 03:13:49,488
Yeah, I do. Thank you. Good

5090
03:13:49,488 --> 03:13:51,724
afternoon. My name send it to

5091
03:13:51,724 --> 03:13:52,357
be a junior and I've had the

5092
03:13:52,357 --> 03:13:54,993
privilege of serving as a

5093
03:13:54,993 --> 03:13:56,427
fellow with urban strategies

5094
03:13:56,427 --> 03:13:57,295
for the past year supporting

5095
03:13:57,295 --> 03:13:59,695
the general plan, update

5096
03:14:00,266 --> 03:14:01,100
initiatives and community

5097
03:14:01,100 --> 03:14:01,701
engagement efforts as along as

5098
03:14:01,701 --> 03:14:03,701
a lifelong district, 5

5099
03:14:05,572 --> 03:14:06,337
resident for Ville native, I

5100
03:14:06,337 --> 03:14:07,572
believe it's essential that

5101
03:14:07,572 --> 03:14:08,473
opens future shape by the

5102
03:14:08,473 --> 03:14:10,740
voices of those who have long

5103
03:14:10,740 --> 03:14:10,975
called the city home,

5104
03:14:10,975 --> 03:14:13,612
especially those who are at

5105
03:14:13,612 --> 03:14:14,579
risk of being this place.

5106
03:14:14,579 --> 03:14:15,213
Equally important are the

5107
03:14:15,213 --> 03:14:18,116
voices of our youth. They

5108
03:14:18,116 --> 03:14:18,816
would hurt outcomes. That's of

5109
03:14:18,816 --> 03:14:19,851
the decisions we make today.

5110
03:14:19,851 --> 03:14:20,586
So they deserve a meaningful

5111
03:14:20,586 --> 03:14:24,186
role and shaping the city will

5112
03:14:24,857 --> 03:14:26,900
one day lead. During phase to

5113
03:14:26,900 --> 03:14:26,824
engage students from Life

5114
03:14:26,824 --> 03:14:28,260
Academy who predominately live

5115
03:14:28,260 --> 03:14:29,994
in the food bill and Deep East

5116
03:14:29,994 --> 03:14:31,994
Oakland, together, youth

5117
03:14:32,931 --> 03:14:34,400
perspective on the draft plan,

5118
03:14:34,400 --> 03:14:35,266
framework are draft land use

5119
03:14:35,266 --> 03:14:37,266
framework through workshops

5120
03:14:38,169 --> 03:14:39,470
focused on 3rd spaces and the

5121
03:14:39,470 --> 03:14:41,572
general plan update salute

5122
03:14:41,572 --> 03:14:42,708
Oscar and Environmental

5123
03:14:42,708 --> 03:14:43,441
Justice Element from this

5124
03:14:43,441 --> 03:14:45,441
engagement. 3 clear priorities

5125
03:14:47,279 --> 03:14:49,647
emerged. First green, how

5126
03:14:49,647 --> 03:14:50,316
green infrastructure matters.

5127
03:14:50,316 --> 03:14:52,160
The strongest message from

5128
03:14:52,160 --> 03:14:52,718
students was a call from where

5129
03:14:52,718 --> 03:14:54,787
trees, green or parks wealth

5130
03:14:54,787 --> 03:14:56,554
designed public space. They

5131
03:14:56,554 --> 03:14:58,389
view this space is not simply

5132
03:14:58,389 --> 03:14:59,900
as amenities by the central

5133
03:14:59,900 --> 03:15:00,458
investments in mental health

5134
03:15:00,458 --> 03:15:02,458
wellbeing and community

5135
03:15:03,595 --> 03:15:05,595
resilience. Second students

5136
03:15:05,863 --> 03:15:08,433
want free safe and walkable.

5137
03:15:08,433 --> 03:15:09,501
Non-commercial, public spaces,

5138
03:15:09,501 --> 03:15:10,134
participants consistently

5139
03:15:10,134 --> 03:15:11,103
emphasized that gathering

5140
03:15:11,103 --> 03:15:13,105
spaces should be accessible to

5141
03:15:13,105 --> 03:15:14,205
everyone, not dependent on

5142
03:15:14,205 --> 03:15:15,207
spending money. They want

5143
03:15:15,207 --> 03:15:16,174
places where they learn,

5144
03:15:16,174 --> 03:15:18,574
connect and build community

5145
03:15:19,777 --> 03:15:20,378
without financial burden. 3rd

5146
03:15:20,378 --> 03:15:20,979
maintenance is just as

5147
03:15:20,979 --> 03:15:22,979
important as investment

5148
03:15:23,481 --> 03:15:24,315
students has. Students have

5149
03:15:24,315 --> 03:15:26,250
identified one of the main

5150
03:15:26,250 --> 03:15:28,286
team facilities and concerns

5151
03:15:28,286 --> 03:15:29,530
about cleanliness and safety

5152
03:15:29,530 --> 03:15:31,560
as its primary reason for

5153
03:15:31,560 --> 03:15:31,656
avoiding public think that

5154
03:15:31,656 --> 03:15:33,325
winning existing public

5155
03:15:33,325 --> 03:15:35,427
spaces. The message was clear

5156
03:15:35,427 --> 03:15:36,127
before we build new spaces, we

5157
03:15:36,127 --> 03:15:37,596
must take better care of the

5158
03:15:37,596 --> 03:15:41,196
ones we already have based on

5159
03:15:43,134 --> 03:15:43,869
these findings, for 3

5160
03:15:43,869 --> 03:15:44,502
recommendations. First

5161
03:15:44,502 --> 03:15:45,737
launched a youth safe and

5162
03:15:45,737 --> 03:15:47,737
Clean Parks initiative

5163
03:15:48,840 --> 03:15:49,607
prioritizes maintenance

5164
03:15:49,607 --> 03:15:50,276
beautification and rapid

5165
03:15:50,276 --> 03:15:50,842
improvement in historically

5166
03:15:50,842 --> 03:15:52,842
underserved neglected

5167
03:15:54,179 --> 03:15:55,380
neighborhoods. Second

5168
03:15:55,380 --> 03:15:56,800
modernize, Oakland's many

5169
03:15:56,800 --> 03:15:58,800
municipal recreation centers

5170
03:15:59,150 --> 03:16:00,785
by investing in updated

5171
03:16:00,785 --> 03:16:01,719
financial facilities. Expanded

5172
03:16:01,719 --> 03:16:04,119
library resources and ensure

5173
03:16:07,125 --> 03:16:08,600
future land use expand labor

5174
03:16:08,600 --> 03:16:08,726
resources n culturally

5175
03:16:08,726 --> 03:16:09,427
relevant. You focused

5176
03:16:09,427 --> 03:16:10,462
programming finally establish

5177
03:16:10,462 --> 03:16:13,364
that doesn't mean that you see

5178
03:16:13,364 --> 03:16:15,333
on the planning Commission.

5179
03:16:15,333 --> 03:16:16,340
This will give young people a

5180
03:16:16,340 --> 03:16:17,335
permanent seat at the table,

5181
03:16:17,335 --> 03:16:18,136
ensuring future land use

5182
03:16:18,136 --> 03:16:19,710
reflects decisions of the

5183
03:16:19,710 --> 03:16:20,104
voices of the generation that

5184
03:16:20,104 --> 03:16:22,504
hair it. Oakland's future.

5185
03:16:29,181 --> 03:16:31,916
Thank you. Hi, good afternoon.

5186
03:16:31,916 --> 03:16:34,850
My name is But it is not well,

5187
03:16:34,850 --> 03:16:35,987
gathering perspectives of our

5188
03:16:35,987 --> 03:16:36,622
land use. I had the privilege

5189
03:16:36,622 --> 03:16:37,622
to work at International

5190
03:16:37,622 --> 03:16:38,958
Community School located at

5191
03:16:38,958 --> 03:16:41,600
it, located at International

5192
03:16:41,600 --> 03:16:43,195
Boulevard in 20th Avenue

5193
03:16:43,195 --> 03:16:45,595
District 5 represented by Noel

5194
03:16:46,297 --> 03:16:47,266
Gallo. I spoke to first

5195
03:16:47,266 --> 03:16:49,134
second, 3rd, 4003th and 5th

5196
03:16:49,134 --> 03:16:51,403
graders averaging ages 7 to

5197
03:16:51,403 --> 03:16:52,360
11. My students express. They

5198
03:16:52,360 --> 03:16:52,604
wanted cleaner streets by

5199
03:16:52,604 --> 03:16:55,400
adding more trash can

5200
03:16:55,206 --> 03:16:56,609
specifically by the beach.

5201
03:16:56,609 --> 03:16:58,760
More trash cans was brought up

5202
03:16:58,760 --> 03:16:58,776
by at least 5 students. And a

5203
03:16:58,776 --> 03:17:01,176
couple more expressed wanting

5204
03:17:01,746 --> 03:17:03,582
a cleaner environment and lest

5205
03:17:03,582 --> 03:17:04,282
littering, they want more

5206
03:17:04,282 --> 03:17:05,160
accessible soccer fields that

5207
03:17:05,160 --> 03:17:08,616
are accessible and up kept as

5208
03:17:08,820 --> 03:17:09,354
well as free to all they want

5209
03:17:09,354 --> 03:17:10,550
more activities and

5210
03:17:10,550 --> 03:17:11,991
extracurriculars like dancing

5211
03:17:11,991 --> 03:17:13,859
break dancing, roller coasters

5212
03:17:13,859 --> 03:17:16,160
or hiking trails around Lake

5213
03:17:16,160 --> 03:17:16,828
Merritt. They want more

5214
03:17:16,828 --> 03:17:18,630
accessibility for disabled

5215
03:17:18,630 --> 03:17:19,264
people like Braille,

5216
03:17:19,264 --> 03:17:19,999
vibrations from visually

5217
03:17:19,999 --> 03:17:22,367
impaired individuals and nicer

5218
03:17:22,367 --> 03:17:23,669
paths for wheelchairs. They

5219
03:17:23,669 --> 03:17:24,302
want less people in the

5220
03:17:24,302 --> 03:17:26,700
streets by providing more

5221
03:17:26,700 --> 03:17:27,939
housings and kids want more

5222
03:17:27,939 --> 03:17:28,673
shelters and more food for

5223
03:17:28,673 --> 03:17:30,908
unhoused folks as well as more

5224
03:17:30,908 --> 03:17:33,908
fresh food in general. And

5225
03:17:34,912 --> 03:17:37,150
Jack City might. I'm Joanna. I

5226
03:17:37,150 --> 03:17:38,316
also spoke to the unhoused

5227
03:17:38,316 --> 03:17:39,170
community members located

5228
03:17:39,170 --> 03:17:41,185
behind Defremery Park in West

5229
03:17:41,185 --> 03:17:43,210
Oakland on 16th and Poplar

5230
03:17:43,210 --> 03:17:44,555
Wing. These individuals

5231
03:17:44,555 --> 03:17:46,900
expressed dissatisfaction with

5232
03:17:46,900 --> 03:17:46,725
sanitation. They want cleaner

5233
03:17:46,725 --> 03:17:48,860
streets by up keeping how

5234
03:17:48,860 --> 03:17:50,863
often public trash is picked

5235
03:17:50,863 --> 03:17:52,897
up unhoused individuals, state

5236
03:17:52,897 --> 03:17:55,670
that they sweep their sleeping

5237
03:17:55,670 --> 03:17:55,968
area. But other community

5238
03:17:55,968 --> 03:17:58,968
members dump their trash and

5239
03:17:59,304 --> 03:18:00,605
on their things and sleeping

5240
03:18:00,605 --> 03:18:02,174
areas. Individuals see houses

5241
03:18:02,174 --> 03:18:03,841
and empty buildings. So the

5242
03:18:03,841 --> 03:18:05,310
housing market crisis, lax to

5243
03:18:05,310 --> 03:18:05,910
make sense. We see empty

5244
03:18:05,910 --> 03:18:06,612
houses and buildings in

5245
03:18:06,612 --> 03:18:09,247
hundreds of people without a

5246
03:18:09,247 --> 03:18:09,814
roof over their head. This

5247
03:18:09,814 --> 03:18:11,814
housing crisis isn't

5248
03:18:12,170 --> 03:18:13,351
everything. And everyone issue

5249
03:18:13,351 --> 03:18:15,153
great school youth understand

5250
03:18:15,153 --> 03:18:17,155
how interconnected our land

5251
03:18:17,155 --> 03:18:18,190
use is to our unhoused

5252
03:18:18,190 --> 03:18:19,190
community members. I hope we

5253
03:18:19,190 --> 03:18:20,192
can reconsider and acknowledge

5254
03:18:20,192 --> 03:18:21,159
our unhoused community members

5255
03:18:21,159 --> 03:18:24,159
and pastry. Let's consider all

5256
03:18:33,739 --> 03:18:36,241
oaklanders. Hello. My name is

5257
03:18:36,241 --> 03:18:38,476
Jocelyn and I'm here also

5258
03:18:38,476 --> 03:18:39,711
representing working alongside

5259
03:18:39,711 --> 03:18:41,179
the youth fellowship here with

5260
03:18:41,179 --> 03:18:43,179
different Strategies. Consul.

5261
03:18:45,249 --> 03:18:46,185
I also represent district 5

5262
03:18:46,185 --> 03:18:49,185
and I've had the privilege

5263
03:18:49,520 --> 03:18:50,189
also be working under the

5264
03:18:50,189 --> 03:18:51,724
within the fellowship since

5265
03:18:51,724 --> 03:18:54,124
2023 so summit starting times

5266
03:18:55,961 --> 03:18:56,628
and through this work, we

5267
03:18:56,628 --> 03:18:59,280
repeatedly have listened to

5268
03:18:59,630 --> 03:19:01,630
our neighbors, both

5269
03:19:01,232 --> 03:19:02,660
relationships and elevated the

5270
03:19:02,660 --> 03:19:03,601
lived experiences of residents

5271
03:19:03,601 --> 03:19:04,203
who are often left died of

5272
03:19:04,203 --> 03:19:06,203
planning conversations,

5273
03:19:06,572 --> 03:19:07,740
particularly young people. As

5274
03:19:07,740 --> 03:19:08,907
they mentioned, we've

5275
03:19:08,907 --> 03:19:10,110
conducted outreach. We went to

5276
03:19:10,110 --> 03:19:12,510
schools, schools like like

5277
03:19:14,179 --> 03:19:15,214
life Academy and right now we

5278
03:19:15,214 --> 03:19:17,915
really want to emphasize and

5279
03:19:17,915 --> 03:19:19,151
target the flat land and give

5280
03:19:19,151 --> 03:19:20,185
you guys this conversation

5281
03:19:20,185 --> 03:19:22,553
that we want to Target East.

5282
03:19:22,553 --> 03:19:24,553
Oakland is invested

5283
03:19:26,258 --> 03:19:26,960
historically does

5284
03:19:26,960 --> 03:19:28,394
neighborhoods and our shared

5285
03:19:28,394 --> 03:19:30,296
our shared goal here has been

5286
03:19:30,296 --> 03:19:31,964
clear, which is to transform

5287
03:19:31,964 --> 03:19:33,299
personal stories into

5288
03:19:33,299 --> 03:19:33,999
meaningful policy to ensure

5289
03:19:33,999 --> 03:19:34,933
those voices are reflected in

5290
03:19:34,933 --> 03:19:38,533
the general plan and that why

5291
03:19:46,460 --> 03:19:47,745
we're here today. Good

5292
03:19:47,745 --> 03:19:48,614
evening. I'm Kay Sheen, unique

5293
03:19:48,614 --> 03:19:50,516
Holland with deep waters dance

5294
03:19:50,516 --> 03:19:54,116
theater and part of the deeply

5295
03:19:55,888 --> 03:19:58,288
rooted collaborative. Thank We

5296
03:20:01,492 --> 03:20:02,127
are really. We held people

5297
03:20:02,127 --> 03:20:04,527
listening sessions with a

5298
03:20:04,729 --> 03:20:06,631
number of community members

5299
03:20:06,631 --> 03:20:07,967
focused mostly in West and the

5300
03:20:07,967 --> 03:20:09,802
East. Oakland and it was a

5301
03:20:09,802 --> 03:20:11,802
wonderful opportunity for

5302
03:20:12,271 --> 03:20:15,271
folks who haven't even heard

5303
03:20:16,410 --> 03:20:17,176
about the general plan process

5304
03:20:17,176 --> 03:20:21,376
or any hadn't seen any of the

5305
03:20:22,130 --> 03:20:24,183
outreach materials. So it was

5306
03:20:24,183 --> 03:20:25,851
an opportunity for communities

5307
03:20:25,851 --> 03:20:28,251
who have already feeling

5308
03:20:28,653 --> 03:20:29,989
burdened by notion that their

5309
03:20:29,989 --> 03:20:32,989
voice is not included are

5310
03:20:35,270 --> 03:20:36,795
doesn't matter to be included.

5311
03:20:36,795 --> 03:20:37,495
Echo what the you fellows

5312
03:20:37,495 --> 03:20:40,495
shared terms of feedback. And

5313
03:20:40,499 --> 03:20:41,134
we'll just add that a really

5314
03:20:41,134 --> 03:20:41,800
important thing that was

5315
03:20:41,800 --> 03:20:44,200
emphasized with the groups

5316
03:20:45,604 --> 03:20:46,572
that I fought with was the

5317
03:20:46,572 --> 03:20:50,772
desire to be a part of the

5318
03:20:58,183 --> 03:20:59,550
process as it moves forward.

5319
03:20:59,550 --> 03:21:01,550
Good evening councilmembers.

5320
03:21:02,287 --> 03:21:02,989
My name is Nikki Alexander,

5321
03:21:02,989 --> 03:21:05,389
executive director of Friends

5322
03:21:06,580 --> 03:21:06,760
of Sauce, Little Creek for 30

5323
03:21:06,760 --> 03:21:09,160
years pass because partnered

5324
03:21:09,193 --> 03:21:09,929
with the city on restoration,

5325
03:21:09,929 --> 03:21:11,963
education and stewardship. And

5326
03:21:11,963 --> 03:21:13,933
this also creek watershed in

5327
03:21:13,933 --> 03:21:14,967
the draft framework. We were

5328
03:21:14,967 --> 03:21:15,633
concerns that resource

5329
03:21:15,633 --> 03:21:17,633
conservation areas received

5330
03:21:18,737 --> 03:21:19,637
little attention we're asking

5331
03:21:19,637 --> 03:21:21,507
the city to strengthen Oscars

5332
03:21:21,507 --> 03:21:23,507
provisions for stewarding

5333
03:21:23,742 --> 03:21:26,142
nature. That means updating

5334
03:21:26,312 --> 03:21:26,979
Park management policy to

5335
03:21:26,979 --> 03:21:28,979
explicitly protects native

5336
03:21:30,316 --> 03:21:31,500
plant and animal communities

5337
03:21:31,500 --> 03:21:33,218
and directing trail design and

5338
03:21:33,218 --> 03:21:34,219
maintenance towards minimizing

5339
03:21:34,219 --> 03:21:35,921
environmental impacts,

5340
03:21:35,921 --> 03:21:36,554
protecting our resource

5341
03:21:36,554 --> 03:21:38,954
conservation areas is an

5342
03:21:39,958 --> 03:21:41,958
environmental justice issue.

5343
03:21:42,361 --> 03:21:43,127
Joaquin Miller and other city

5344
03:21:43,127 --> 03:21:43,796
park lands have the potential

5345
03:21:43,796 --> 03:21:44,495
to become truly accessible

5346
03:21:44,495 --> 03:21:46,895
intact ecosystems for Oakland

5347
03:21:48,334 --> 03:21:50,301
residents to enjoy a free an

5348
03:21:50,301 --> 03:21:51,403
ac transit. Reachable stand-in

5349
03:21:51,403 --> 03:21:52,571
for Redwood, national and

5350
03:21:52,571 --> 03:21:53,237
state parks or this for

5351
03:21:53,237 --> 03:21:55,637
Oaklanders who can't easily

5352
03:21:55,707 --> 03:21:56,374
reach those places. With

5353
03:21:56,374 --> 03:21:58,374
stronger protection through

5354
03:21:58,744 --> 03:21:59,511
the new Oscar element. We have

5355
03:21:59,511 --> 03:22:00,178
a real opportunity to create

5356
03:22:00,178 --> 03:22:03,178
these places. Thank you so

5357
03:22:08,186 --> 03:22:10,586

03:22:30,142 --> 03:22:31,177

03:22:31,177 --> 03:22:32,770
Laura. For all the updates. I

5370
03:22:32,770 --> 03:22:34,790
don't need to tell you the

5371
03:22:34,790 --> 03:22:36,115
importance of the port as a

5372
03:22:36,115 --> 03:22:36,849
vital economic engine for our

5373
03:22:36,849 --> 03:22:37,882
city region and nation.

5374
03:22:37,882 --> 03:22:39,285
Thousands of jobs, local

5375
03:22:39,285 --> 03:22:40,151
businesses, families depend on

5376
03:22:40,151 --> 03:22:42,551
a strong, reliable and

5377
03:22:43,880 --> 03:22:43,956
competitive maritime industry.

5378
03:22:43,956 --> 03:22:44,957
Having said that, we still

5379
03:22:44,957 --> 03:22:46,958
have some questions and

5380
03:22:46,958 --> 03:22:48,958
concerns regarding Adeline

5381
03:22:48,961 --> 03:22:50,290
bridge heavyweight quarter and

5382
03:22:50,290 --> 03:22:50,929
industrial zoning goods move.

5383
03:22:50,929 --> 03:22:53,929
It plans just as importantly,

5384
03:22:54,599 --> 03:22:55,334
an economic study that need to

5385
03:22:55,334 --> 03:22:55,868
stay in the spotlight and look

5386
03:22:55,868 --> 03:22:57,202
forward to further

5387
03:22:57,202 --> 03:22:59,602
conversation on those items.

5388
03:23:00,239 --> 03:23:02,408
Thank you again for your time.

5389
03:23:02,408 --> 03:23:03,342

03:23:07,979 --> 03:23:08,646
partnership as we work

5393
03:23:08,646 --> 03:23:11,646
together in support of this

5394
03:23:18,156 --> 03:23:19,224
amazing Port City. Good

03:23:28,601 --> 03:23:30,735
customers of the port of

5403
03:23:30,735 --> 03:23:31,470
Oakland just wanted to say and

5404
03:23:31,470 --> 03:23:34,470
reiterate the point thanks to

5405
03:23:35,240 --> 03:23:37,240
the planning staff,

5406
03:23:37,276 --> 03:23:37,843
transportation staff folks who

5407
03:23:37,843 --> 03:23:38,477
put together this new

5408
03:23:38,477 --> 03:23:40,546
framework for the report

5409
03:23:40,546 --> 03:23:42,914
that's in front of you today.

5410
03:23:42,914 --> 03:23:43,649
It really does express that

5411
03:23:43,649 --> 03:23:46,385
this is an iterative process

5412
03:23:46,385 --> 03:23:48,152
that is going to be a lot more

5413
03:23:48,152 --> 03:23:49,989
communication and conversation

5414
03:23:49,989 --> 03:23:51,756
between the city and its

5415
03:23:51,756 --> 03:23:54,156
employer community. It's going

5416
03:23:54,995 --> 03:23:55,861
to really embrace industrial

5417
03:23:55,861 --> 03:23:56,495
legacy. Oakland is a strong

5418
03:23:56,495 --> 03:23:58,895
blue collar working class

5419
03:24:00,699 --> 03:24:02,401
town. And all of us have

5420
03:24:02,401 --> 03:24:03,102
invested amazing amounts of

5421
03:24:03,102 --> 03:24:05,571
time, energy and resources to

5422
03:24:05,571 --> 03:24:06,772
make this successful. We're

5423
03:24:06,772 --> 03:24:07,438
going to continue to do that.

5424
03:24:07,438 --> 03:24:08,473
We're going to continue to

5425
03:24:08,473 --> 03:24:09,174
work with their planning

5426
03:24:09,174 --> 03:24:09,874
department to make sure that

5427
03:24:09,874 --> 03:24:11,943
that's part of the future of

5428
03:24:11,943 --> 03:24:13,780
the city going forward. In

5429
03:24:13,780 --> 03:24:13,745
addition to all the other

5430
03:24:13,745 --> 03:24:15,140
things we want for Oakland,

5431
03:24:15,140 --> 03:24:17,140
terms of growth,

5432
03:24:17,316 --> 03:24:18,160
diversification its economy.

5433
03:24:18,160 --> 03:24:21,160
And really looking forward to

5434
03:24:25,424 --> 03:24:26,124
doing that together. Good

5435
03:24:26,124 --> 03:24:28,159
evening Council Aaron, right?

5436
03:24:28,159 --> 03:24:30,495
I'll w local 10 3rd generation

5437
03:24:30,495 --> 03:24:32,495
longshoreman residents

5438
03:24:34,966 --> 03:24:36,100
district 4. We're here today.

5439
03:24:36,100 --> 03:24:36,834
Because we are worried we're

5440
03:24:36,834 --> 03:24:38,870
worried about this plan. 7

5441
03:24:38,870 --> 03:24:41,506
years ago, a major fight

5442
03:24:41,506 --> 03:24:43,409
started when city government

5443
03:24:43,409 --> 03:24:46,544
packed in with the a's to give

5444
03:24:46,544 --> 03:24:48,544
them 200 acres. And 1.3

5445
03:24:49,810 --> 03:24:51,820
billion dollars. And it would

5446
03:24:51,820 --> 03:24:52,984
have crippled our port. Our

5447
03:24:52,984 --> 03:24:55,384
longshore jobs. And our

5448
03:24:59,257 --> 03:25:01,426
economy. So thankfully, we won

5449
03:25:01,426 --> 03:25:02,427
that fight. And thankfully we

5450
03:25:02,427 --> 03:25:03,928
have a council and city

5451
03:25:03,928 --> 03:25:06,431
government. That's a lot more

5452
03:25:06,431 --> 03:25:08,634
responsive. Then the past we

5453
03:25:08,634 --> 03:25:12,234
want to thank you for your

5454
03:25:12,671 --> 03:25:14,372
engagement with us in this

5455
03:25:14,372 --> 03:25:15,600
process. We appreciate the

5456
03:25:15,600 --> 03:25:17,406
process being lengthy and

5457
03:25:18,543 --> 03:25:19,678
taking input. We still have

5458
03:25:19,678 --> 03:25:20,278
some mass adoption of the over

5459
03:25:20,278 --> 03:25:22,278
8 corridor legislation

5460
03:25:22,880 --> 03:25:24,349
designate it of international

5461
03:25:24,349 --> 03:25:26,749
as a heavyweight route

5462
03:25:33,958 --> 03:25:36,958
expedited kunst. Thank you. So

5463
03:25:47,273 --> 03:25:49,275
your time is that? So I I saw

5464
03:25:49,275 --> 03:25:50,475
something said you want to

5465
03:25:50,475 --> 03:25:52,430
stop displacement and

5466
03:25:52,430 --> 03:25:52,844
gentrification. Y'all have

5467
03:25:52,844 --> 03:25:53,512
never had a conversation on

5468
03:25:53,512 --> 03:25:55,414
gentrification. Even though

5469
03:25:55,414 --> 03:25:58,416
you number one judge, a guy

5470
03:25:58,416 --> 03:26:00,752
gentle find city along with

5471
03:26:00,752 --> 03:26:02,752
San Francisco. Displacement

5472
03:26:02,754 --> 03:26:03,455
and gentrification in

5473
03:26:03,455 --> 03:26:05,456
sanctuary city status. His

5474
03:26:05,456 --> 03:26:07,456
cause African-Americans in

5475
03:26:09,194 --> 03:26:09,861
West Oakland, 1990, 70% of the

5476
03:26:09,861 --> 03:26:12,261
population West Oakland was

5477
03:26:12,563 --> 03:26:14,563
African-American. 2010 53%,

5478
03:26:18,303 --> 03:26:20,272
2020, 30%. Dc's Oakland, 1990,

5479
03:26:20,272 --> 03:26:22,272
63% African-American, 2010,

5480
03:26:27,812 --> 03:26:28,547
54%, 2020, 28%. Some of it is

5481
03:26:28,547 --> 03:26:30,947
justification. Dixon over this

5482
03:26:33,251 --> 03:26:35,353
sanctuary city status. We have

5483
03:26:35,353 --> 03:26:38,353
limited housing. You have to

5484
03:26:39,190 --> 03:26:39,857
be prepared to provide 10,000

5485
03:26:39,857 --> 03:26:41,993
houses, but 2030 for low

5486
03:26:41,993 --> 03:26:44,393
income purposes. That's a

5487
03:26:45,430 --> 03:26:48,430
state mandate. When we looked

5488
03:27:00,778 --> 03:27:01,513

5489
03:27:01,513 --> 03:27:05,713

of the port of Oakland in our

5507
03:27:58,569 --> 03:27:59,271
goods. Move in sector is Can

5508
03:27:59,271 --> 03:28:02,730
economic drivers for both our

5509
03:28:02,730 --> 03:28:03,409
city and the broader region?

5510
03:28:03,409 --> 03:28:04,142
Their inclusion in any

5511
03:28:04,142 --> 03:28:05,144
long-term planning effort,

5512
03:28:05,144 --> 03:28:05,843
especially as one is

5513
03:28:05,843 --> 03:28:08,243
consequential as the general

5514
03:28:08,379 --> 03:28:09,347
plan is essential. I also want

5515
03:28:09,347 --> 03:28:10,782
to acknowledge the

5516
03:28:10,782 --> 03:28:12,650
supplemental report and its

5517
03:28:12,650 --> 03:28:14,185
emphasis on of this being a

5518
03:28:14,185 --> 03:28:14,920
participatory process. We

5519
03:28:14,920 --> 03:28:16,120
appreciate the two-day session

5520
03:28:16,120 --> 03:28:17,121
is intended together.

5521
03:28:17,121 --> 03:28:19,291
Stakeholder input and that the

5522
03:28:19,291 --> 03:28:20,458
draft framework remains a work

5523
03:28:20,458 --> 03:28:22,260
in progress. That approach is

5524
03:28:22,260 --> 03:28:23,262
vital to ensuring the final

5525
03:28:23,262 --> 03:28:25,662
plan reflects the realities

5526
03:28:26,364 --> 03:28:27,433
and the needs of those most

5527
03:28:27,433 --> 03:28:28,000
directly impacted this a

5528
03:28:28,000 --> 03:28:28,700
plumber. Medal report

5529
03:28:28,700 --> 03:28:30,700
highlights several important

5530
03:28:31,170 --> 03:28:32,470
areas that we strongly support

5531
03:28:32,470 --> 03:28:33,710
in particular. We urge the

5532
03:28:33,710 --> 03:28:34,773
city to prioritize the

5533
03:28:34,773 --> 03:28:35,974
adoption of an overweight

5534
03:28:35,974 --> 03:28:36,642
corridor ordinance and the

5535
03:28:36,642 --> 03:28:38,642
establishment of designated

5536
03:28:38,910 --> 03:28:39,877
heavyweight truck routes.

5537
03:28:39,877 --> 03:28:40,546
These are critical to

5538
03:28:40,546 --> 03:28:42,680
maintaining a fish in goods

5539
03:28:42,680 --> 03:28:44,617
movement and supporting our

5540
03:28:44,617 --> 03:28:45,350
industrial economy.

5541
03:28:45,350 --> 03:28:47,251
Additionally, we encourage the

5542
03:28:47,251 --> 03:28:47,952
city to finalize the updated

5543
03:28:47,952 --> 03:28:49,287
track road map and to conduct

5544
03:28:49,287 --> 03:28:51,189
a comprehensive economic

5545
03:28:51,189 --> 03:28:54,189
analysis of the goods movement

5546
03:28:54,193 --> 03:28:54,892
sector. As noted in chambers

5547
03:28:54,892 --> 03:28:56,828

recovery and long-term

5552
03:29:04,303 --> 03:29:06,437
competitiveness. And as stated

5553
03:29:06,437 --> 03:29:07,205
previously, with over 100,000

5554
03:29:07,205 --> 03:29:08,941

5588
03:30:07,700 --> 03:30:10,100
supplemental was so critical

5589
03:30:10,935 --> 03:30:11,670
and then just information that

5590
03:30:11,670 --> 03:30:13,771
was shared on the record today

5591
03:30:13,771 --> 03:30:14,672
that this is an ongoing

5592
03:30:14,672 --> 03:30:17,720
iterative process is important

5593
03:30:18,430 --> 03:30:18,943
for the community to hear

5594
03:30:18,943 --> 03:30:21,943
because they are in from

5595
03:30:22,614 --> 03:30:24,616
death, different sectors are

5596
03:30:24,616 --> 03:30:25,751
genuinely concerned about how

5597
03:30:25,751 --> 03:30:28,586
the city is moving forward. So

5598
03:30:28,586 --> 03:30:29,687
I want to appreciate you for

5599
03:30:29,687 --> 03:30:30,688
spending some time with me and

5600
03:30:30,688 --> 03:30:31,389
helping me to mediate some of

5601
03:30:31,389 --> 03:30:32,857
these conversations that I've

5602
03:30:32,857 --> 03:30:34,793
been having in the community.

5603
03:30:34,793 --> 03:30:37,563
But I also want to express to

5604
03:30:37,563 --> 03:30:40,563
the public speakers that even

5605
03:30:42,601 --> 03:30:44,470
with competing priorities that

5606
03:30:44,470 --> 03:30:46,639
are all very relevant in the

5607
03:30:46,639 --> 03:30:47,305
city. It's important that we

5608
03:30:47,305 --> 03:30:49,705
understand the benefit that

5609
03:30:50,108 --> 03:30:52,310
the port of Oakland brings to

5610
03:30:52,310 --> 03:30:55,310
the city and the resources

5611
03:30:55,913 --> 03:30:58,650
that we have coming through

5612
03:30:58,650 --> 03:31:00,586
jobs and all the affiliated

5613
03:31:00,586 --> 03:31:02,755
industries connected to the

5614
03:31:02,755 --> 03:31:03,454
port. But as we move into the

5615
03:31:03,454 --> 03:31:05,123
future, we have to figure out

5616
03:31:05,123 --> 03:31:07,892
how we worked together to

5617
03:31:07,892 --> 03:31:09,560
ensure that we can balance the

5618
03:31:09,560 --> 03:31:10,328
environmental needs of our

5619
03:31:10,328 --> 03:31:12,328
residential neighborhoods

5620
03:31:14,265 --> 03:31:14,934
while balancing out the jobs

5621
03:31:14,934 --> 03:31:15,633
and the industries that are

5622
03:31:15,633 --> 03:31:17,468
currently here. So it's it's

5623
03:31:17,468 --> 03:31:18,603
going to be a work in

5624
03:31:18,603 --> 03:31:20,571
progress. And I know we have

5625
03:31:20,571 --> 03:31:21,539
the right people at the table

5626
03:31:21,539 --> 03:31:22,373
to make sure that things are

5627
03:31:22,373 --> 03:31:24,410
happening. But if there ever

5628
03:31:24,410 --> 03:31:27,446
happens to be a point, wear

5629
03:31:27,446 --> 03:31:28,446
your voice doesn't feel like

5630
03:31:28,446 --> 03:31:29,948
you're being heard. Please

5631
03:31:29,948 --> 03:31:32,150
continue to reach out to my

5632
03:31:32,150 --> 03:31:32,952
office because I'm deeply

5633
03:31:32,952 --> 03:31:34,519
interested in hearing where

5634
03:31:34,519 --> 03:31:35,287
folks are coming from and we

5635
03:31:35,287 --> 03:31:36,588
were able to show that that

5636
03:31:36,588 --> 03:31:39,588
could have some impact with

5637
03:31:40,391 --> 03:31:41,492
our process over the last

5638
03:31:41,492 --> 03:31:42,327
week. That said, I wanted to

5639
03:31:42,327 --> 03:31:45,327
also make sure through the

5640
03:31:46,297 --> 03:31:47,599
chair that our staff could

5641
03:31:47,599 --> 03:31:48,232
speak to some of the very

5642
03:31:48,232 --> 03:31:49,767
granular points that were

5643
03:31:49,767 --> 03:31:52,767
raised by the public today

5644
03:31:53,571 --> 03:31:54,439
around the Adeline Street

5645
03:31:54,439 --> 03:31:56,407
Bridge. Mission statement for

5646
03:31:56,407 --> 03:31:57,343
a Goodson movement policy that

5647
03:31:57,343 --> 03:32:00,943
is is necessary to help us

5648
03:32:02,380 --> 03:32:03,140
tile this work together and a

5649
03:32:03,140 --> 03:32:05,217
potential timeline on an

5650
03:32:05,217 --> 03:32:06,285
economic impact report and

5651
03:32:06,285 --> 03:32:06,951
some of the granular points

5652
03:32:06,951 --> 03:32:09,951
that were made by speakers

5653
03:32:15,927 --> 03:32:18,927
today. And through the chair

5654
03:32:19,330 --> 03:32:20,640
to Councilmember 5, ok? So

5655
03:32:20,640 --> 03:32:23,664
there were a range of items

5656
03:32:23,901 --> 03:32:24,969
that were particulars one

5657
03:32:24,969 --> 03:32:27,472
thing I do want to saints

5658
03:32:27,472 --> 03:32:28,139
again in setting the framework

5659
03:32:28,139 --> 03:32:28,841
and I know this is gets the

5660
03:32:28,841 --> 03:32:31,841
even though we'd sometimes of

5661
03:32:32,243 --> 03:32:33,440
the way planners things. And

5662
03:32:33,440 --> 03:32:33,678
because this is a cyclical

5663
03:32:33,678 --> 03:32:36,780
process, you know, every

5664
03:32:36,314 --> 03:32:37,160
decade of several decades. I

5665
03:32:37,160 --> 03:32:40,160
think it's Laura was stating

5666
03:32:41,552 --> 03:32:42,788
this is at highest level. A

5667
03:32:42,788 --> 03:32:43,955
policy document and at as a

5668
03:32:43,955 --> 03:32:47,555
result of it, though, we do

5669
03:32:47,625 --> 03:32:48,326
specify goals, objectives,

5670
03:32:48,326 --> 03:32:49,628
sometimes projects a mention

5671
03:32:49,628 --> 03:32:52,498
there is content there that

5672
03:32:52,498 --> 03:32:53,799
MAY be specific to a need.

5673
03:32:53,799 --> 03:32:55,000
Usually what we'll see if we

5674
03:32:55,000 --> 03:32:58,600
name a project coming out of

5675
03:32:58,636 --> 03:32:59,337
it. It's because it is working

5676
03:32:59,337 --> 03:33:00,380
a long line of a policy. What

5677
03:33:00,380 --> 03:33:03,441
we don't expect that the end

5678
03:33:03,441 --> 03:33:06,177
of the process is to have a

5679
03:33:06,177 --> 03:33:06,878
lot of specificity around

5680
03:33:06,878 --> 03:33:08,713
projects on location as part

5681
03:33:08,713 --> 03:33:09,415
of the general plan itself,

5682
03:33:09,415 --> 03:33:11,749
because that means just as an

5683
03:33:11,749 --> 03:33:12,317
example, let's say with that

5684
03:33:12,317 --> 03:33:13,819
Trump presidency, my

5685
03:33:13,819 --> 03:33:15,753
colleagues wrote that it's

5686
03:33:15,753 --> 03:33:16,487
behind and they've been

5687
03:33:16,487 --> 03:33:18,423
engagement with the front line

5688
03:33:18,423 --> 03:33:19,457
working. Also several windows

5689
03:33:19,457 --> 03:33:20,391
across departments very

5690
03:33:20,391 --> 03:33:21,920
clearly based on what was

5691
03:33:21,920 --> 03:33:23,896
presented appear and what we

5692
03:33:23,896 --> 03:33:24,495
heard from the community. This

5693
03:33:24,495 --> 03:33:25,129
is an all hands on that

5694
03:33:25,129 --> 03:33:26,965
process. This is not just

5695
03:33:26,965 --> 03:33:28,320
about, you know, we are the

5696
03:33:28,320 --> 03:33:28,700
fulcrum in terms of doing the

5697
03:33:28,700 --> 03:33:30,868
planning process. But we've

5698
03:33:30,868 --> 03:33:31,470
got to align the rest of city

5699
03:33:31,470 --> 03:33:33,870
hall in departments to

5700
03:33:36,141 --> 03:33:38,711
support. But many cases, if we

5701
03:33:38,711 --> 03:33:40,612
were to prescribe in the

5702
03:33:40,612 --> 03:33:43,120
general plan, something very

5703
03:33:43,810 --> 03:33:43,882
specific like, okay, this is

5704
03:33:43,882 --> 03:33:44,582
got to be this way. If the

5705
03:33:44,582 --> 03:33:46,982
realities changes say 5 years

5706
03:33:47,285 --> 03:33:48,860
down the road, we find that

5707
03:33:48,860 --> 03:33:49,855
the market has changed.

5708
03:33:49,855 --> 03:33:51,855
Demographics of changes

5709
03:33:51,890 --> 03:33:52,523
opportunity. We want the

5710
03:33:52,523 --> 03:33:54,293
general plan to work at a

5711
03:33:54,293 --> 03:33:57,128
level of policy and intent

5712
03:33:57,128 --> 03:33:58,290
that we can get to specific

5713
03:33:58,290 --> 03:33:59,898
projects in alignment with it.

5714
03:33:59,898 --> 03:34:01,990
But we also maintain

5715
03:34:01,990 --> 03:34:02,368
flexibility. We don't want to

5716
03:34:02,368 --> 03:34:05,270
have to make a general plan

5717
03:34:05,270 --> 03:34:06,537
amendment every time we change

5718
03:34:06,537 --> 03:34:07,171
or out, you know, the street,

5719
03:34:07,171 --> 03:34:08,373
we do want to state that

5720
03:34:08,373 --> 03:34:09,207
routes are important and we do

5721
03:34:09,207 --> 03:34:10,908
prioritize them. We can even

5722
03:34:10,908 --> 03:34:12,510
get into some of the

5723
03:34:12,510 --> 03:34:13,278
geographic goals and

5724
03:34:13,278 --> 03:34:15,460
objectives. But in terms of

5725
03:34:15,460 --> 03:34:17,460
the actual specificity,

5726
03:34:17,248 --> 03:34:19,180
project per se, what the

5727
03:34:19,180 --> 03:34:21,954
general plan will do is lay

5728
03:34:21,954 --> 03:34:23,821
out. Okay. This is some

5729
03:34:23,821 --> 03:34:24,555
forward, but the specifics of

5730
03:34:24,555 --> 03:34:26,191
how that happens will be done.

5731
03:34:26,191 --> 03:34:26,925
You know, if capital program

5732
03:34:26,925 --> 03:34:27,959
with 2 zoning with instruments

5733
03:34:27,959 --> 03:34:30,959
that will bring forward, ok,

5734
03:34:31,730 --> 03:34:32,430
having said all that now that

5735
03:34:32,430 --> 03:34:33,131
those items were brought up a

5736
03:34:33,131 --> 03:34:35,531
space with specificity, would

5737
03:34:37,350 --> 03:34:37,869
differ. Directive Odot to deal

5738
03:34:37,869 --> 03:34:39,671
with within the rubric of what

5739
03:34:39,671 --> 03:34:40,471
his department does because

5740
03:34:40,471 --> 03:34:41,172
those 2 items they have really

5741
03:34:41,172 --> 03:34:44,376
been in case more. The front

5742
03:34:44,376 --> 03:34:46,211
line. I will say that even

5743
03:34:46,211 --> 03:34:49,211
with everything I said a

5744
03:34:49,815 --> 03:34:50,548
moment ago, we do want over op

5745
03:34:50,548 --> 03:34:51,883
all these questions. All these

5746
03:34:51,883 --> 03:34:54,283
concerns that are specific

5747
03:34:54,819 --> 03:34:55,754
because often what we find is

5748
03:34:55,754 --> 03:34:56,387
that the reason their problem

5749
03:34:56,387 --> 03:34:58,656
is that we didn't have a

5750
03:34:58,656 --> 03:34:59,290
policy in place. We didn't

5751
03:34:59,290 --> 03:35:02,594
address it in terms of a

5752
03:35:02,594 --> 03:35:03,262
product of priority. We

5753
03:35:03,262 --> 03:35:03,929
didn't. I consider what the

5754
03:35:03,929 --> 03:35:06,929
allocation of funds of fund

5755
03:35:06,931 --> 03:35:07,633
sourcing might be. And one of

5756
03:35:07,633 --> 03:35:08,333
the things I will say on the

5757
03:35:08,333 --> 03:35:09,200
practical and of having plans

5758
03:35:09,200 --> 03:35:12,800
like this in place is at

5759
03:35:15,440 --> 03:35:16,608
least. For a long time. City

5760
03:35:16,608 --> 03:35:19,608
stood a great advantage in

5761
03:35:19,744 --> 03:35:21,744
pursuing funds, foundations,

5762
03:35:22,915 --> 03:35:24,149
grants that state, federal and

5763
03:35:24,149 --> 03:35:24,816
local level once they are

5764
03:35:24,816 --> 03:35:27,816
citing a project that is

5765
03:35:28,319 --> 03:35:29,320
supported by a plan. So if we

5766
03:35:29,320 --> 03:35:31,122
have a plan that notes the

5767
03:35:31,122 --> 03:35:32,557
goods movement is a critical

5768
03:35:32,557 --> 03:35:34,590
element. And if we were to

5769
03:35:34,590 --> 03:35:34,726
pursue a grant pursue some

5770
03:35:34,726 --> 03:35:36,726
assistance with that

5771
03:35:37,595 --> 03:35:39,565
implementation in mind, the

5772
03:35:39,565 --> 03:35:42,334
fact that we have it in our

5773
03:35:42,334 --> 03:35:43,234
plan also gives us a lot of

5774
03:35:43,234 --> 03:35:45,103
stronger consideration for

5775
03:35:45,103 --> 03:35:46,710
whoever is making that grant

5776
03:35:46,710 --> 03:35:46,739
that award that just seems

5777
03:35:46,739 --> 03:35:49,739
have you know, the history

5778
03:35:49,874 --> 03:35:50,908
that I've seen in terms of

5779
03:35:50,908 --> 03:35:51,609
competitiveness with cities

5780
03:35:51,609 --> 03:35:52,211
stand a much better place on

5781
03:35:52,211 --> 03:35:54,611
our planet and better

5782
03:35:56,382 --> 03:35:58,284
competition. When our plan and

5783
03:35:58,284 --> 03:35:58,917
identified at this a priority

5784
03:35:58,917 --> 03:35:59,484
proceed that item again

5785
03:35:59,484 --> 03:36:01,884
through a grant with

5786
03:36:02,655 --> 03:36:04,220
foundation or through other

5787
03:36:04,220 --> 03:36:04,722
sources. So what I would do to

5788
03:36:04,722 --> 03:36:06,492
deal with the infrastructure

5789
03:36:06,492 --> 03:36:08,892
items that you mentioned,

5790
03:36:12,131 --> 03:36:14,466
defer to no, okay. All right.

5791
03:36:14,466 --> 03:36:15,833
If there any others specifics,

5792
03:36:15,833 --> 03:36:16,534
we know that libraries were

5793
03:36:16,534 --> 03:36:17,735
mentioned things that, again,

5794
03:36:17,735 --> 03:36:19,370
we want to make sure that we

5795
03:36:19,370 --> 03:36:20,805
are reinforcing. We want to

5796
03:36:20,805 --> 03:36:21,506
make sure first we do no harm,

5797
03:36:21,506 --> 03:36:24,409
right, to make sure that the

5798
03:36:24,409 --> 03:36:25,760
plan is going to enforce

5799
03:36:25,760 --> 03:36:25,678
Evaluate. Again, one of the

5800
03:36:25,678 --> 03:36:26,778
things we're looking at

5801
03:36:26,778 --> 03:36:29,178
bringing forward to the

5802
03:36:29,982 --> 03:36:30,683
council is the capital

5803
03:36:30,683 --> 03:36:32,683
facilities and infrastructure

5804
03:36:32,984 --> 03:36:34,386
component as well. So that

5805
03:36:34,386 --> 03:36:35,860
will be coming again next year

5806
03:36:35,860 --> 03:36:36,721
to the end of next year. But

5807
03:36:36,721 --> 03:36:38,823
that will also give us a real

5808
03:36:38,823 --> 03:36:40,525
focus and always policy

5809
03:36:40,525 --> 03:36:41,160
positions we take over here

5810
03:36:41,160 --> 03:36:41,894
was that look like on the

5811
03:36:41,894 --> 03:36:43,161
ground and what we're going to

5812
03:36:43,161 --> 03:36:45,229
be targeting, hoping to

5813
03:36:45,229 --> 03:36:47,980
achieve. And I just wanted to

5814
03:36:47,980 --> 03:36:47,933
clarify, thank you for

5815
03:36:47,933 --> 03:36:48,600
offering the opportunity for

5816
03:36:48,600 --> 03:36:50,369
other staff to speak, but I

5817
03:36:50,369 --> 03:36:53,969
wanted to to speak in general

5818
03:36:54,139 --> 03:36:55,841
because there's a list of

5819
03:36:55,841 --> 03:36:56,541
granular detail, very specific

5820
03:36:56,541 --> 03:36:58,770
projects that were listed by

5821
03:36:58,770 --> 03:37:01,770
several members of the public.

5822
03:37:01,212 --> 03:37:02,281
So I wanted you to articulate

5823
03:37:02,281 --> 03:37:05,281
why those weren't listed so

5824
03:37:05,884 --> 03:37:06,584
far in this plan. And you you

5825
03:37:06,584 --> 03:37:07,151
did that. You explained that

5826
03:37:07,151 --> 03:37:07,753
that's that level of

5827
03:37:07,753 --> 03:37:09,220
specificity goes into a

5828
03:37:09,220 --> 03:37:11,550
capital projects planner

5829
03:37:11,550 --> 03:37:11,824
things like that's right. No,

5830
03:37:11,824 --> 03:37:12,523
thank you, Councilmember,

5831
03:37:12,523 --> 03:37:14,626
thank you very much. Into the

5832
03:37:14,626 --> 03:37:16,950
chat to the council members

5833
03:37:16,950 --> 03:37:16,795
that that that's one of these.

5834
03:37:16,795 --> 03:37:17,496
Also. We've got to make sure

5835
03:37:17,496 --> 03:37:19,897
as we go this process that we

5836
03:37:19,897 --> 03:37:21,800
explain how functions because,

5837
03:37:21,800 --> 03:37:25,270
again, a lot can get lost in

5838
03:37:25,270 --> 03:37:28,870
that. I also wanted you just

5839
03:37:29,240 --> 03:37:31,175
reiterate that this is a

5840
03:37:31,175 --> 03:37:33,378
listening session that you are

5841
03:37:33,378 --> 03:37:35,480
getting feedback from these

5842
03:37:35,480 --> 03:37:36,114
community groups and this

5843
03:37:36,114 --> 03:37:37,215
today is an informational

5844
03:37:37,215 --> 03:37:39,615
report. We're not taking

5845
03:37:40,184 --> 03:37:40,918
action on passing anything

5846
03:37:40,918 --> 03:37:41,819
today. Absolutely. Through

5847
03:37:41,819 --> 03:37:43,354
chair of council PRESIDENT To

5848
03:37:43,354 --> 03:37:45,323
the council. That is

5849
03:37:45,323 --> 03:37:45,957
absolutely correct. It is our

5850
03:37:45,957 --> 03:37:47,250
chance to listen. We have

5851
03:37:47,250 --> 03:37:48,826
presented what we what we

5852
03:37:48,826 --> 03:37:52,426
have. You want to hear back

5853
03:37:52,730 --> 03:37:53,398
again this session community

5854
03:37:53,398 --> 03:37:54,980
who's here and also to the

5855
03:37:54,980 --> 03:37:55,733
other forms that we have out

5856
03:37:55,733 --> 03:37:56,935
in the community. Many of you

5857
03:37:56,935 --> 03:37:57,602
have been instrumental in

5858
03:37:57,602 --> 03:37:58,569
helping us also make those

5859
03:37:58,569 --> 03:38:00,569
connections and much

5860
03:38:00,606 --> 03:38:02,775
appreciation to those of you

5861
03:38:02,775 --> 03:38:03,475
who have. And lastly, I just

5862
03:38:03,475 --> 03:38:06,475
wanted to articulate for the

5863
03:38:06,744 --> 03:38:07,980
record that. Whether or not

5864
03:38:07,980 --> 03:38:10,815
there will be an economic

5865
03:38:10,815 --> 03:38:12,985
study. I heard that from some

5866
03:38:12,985 --> 03:38:13,751
of the speakers as well,

5867
03:38:13,751 --> 03:38:16,200
economic impact study and then

5868
03:38:16,200 --> 03:38:18,890
mission statement or some kind

5869
03:38:18,890 --> 03:38:20,158
of collective agreement on

5870
03:38:20,158 --> 03:38:23,158
what goods movement or goods

5871
03:38:23,228 --> 03:38:25,628
policy. Actually how that's

5872
03:38:26,300 --> 03:38:27,865
defined. Yes. On each of

5873
03:38:27,865 --> 03:38:28,901
those, I will. I certainly

5874
03:38:28,901 --> 03:38:29,534
commend are very good

5875
03:38:29,534 --> 03:38:30,768
colleagues that economic

5876
03:38:30,768 --> 03:38:32,337
workforce development

5877
03:38:32,337 --> 03:38:34,500
department, that they, again,

5878
03:38:34,500 --> 03:38:35,207
as I said, this is an

5879
03:38:35,207 --> 03:38:35,907
all-hands-on-deck exercise.

5880
03:38:35,907 --> 03:38:38,900
They have been great partners

5881
03:38:38,900 --> 03:38:39,478
to even getting to this point.

5882
03:38:39,478 --> 03:38:40,878
We did have as part of phase

5883
03:38:40,878 --> 03:38:41,547
one, many of you MAY remember

5884
03:38:41,547 --> 03:38:44,547
an economic study that was

5885
03:38:44,917 --> 03:38:45,850
also a baseline for us to look

5886
03:38:45,850 --> 03:38:46,484
at, particularly around

5887
03:38:46,484 --> 03:38:47,219
housing and other

5888
03:38:47,219 --> 03:38:49,219
opportunities for development.

5889
03:38:49,255 --> 03:38:50,789
We will be building on that.

5890
03:38:50,789 --> 03:38:51,523
But also economic refers

5891
03:38:51,523 --> 03:38:53,292
development is going to be our

5892
03:38:53,292 --> 03:38:53,992
partner in helping us to

5893
03:38:53,992 --> 03:38:56,992
define the scope and approach

5894
03:38:57,128 --> 03:38:57,829
puts in that kind of analysis.

5895
03:38:57,829 --> 03:38:58,529
And so lastly, and I know our

5896
03:38:58,529 --> 03:39:00,431
council PRESIDENT Wants some

5897
03:39:00,431 --> 03:39:04,136
of the agenda and I'll make a

5898
03:39:04,136 --> 03:39:05,303
motion to accept report on

5899
03:39:05,303 --> 03:39:07,973
this item is that I don't

5900
03:39:07,973 --> 03:39:08,673
think I can stress enough and

5901
03:39:08,673 --> 03:39:12,273
i rarely speak for the body,

5902
03:39:12,744 --> 03:39:14,812
but I know that we all want to

5903
03:39:14,812 --> 03:39:15,514
preserve Oakland's position as

5904
03:39:15,514 --> 03:39:18,490
the 5th largest port city in

5905
03:39:18,490 --> 03:39:19,718
the state of California and

5906
03:39:19,718 --> 03:39:21,887
the benefits that come from

5907
03:39:21,887 --> 03:39:22,787
that. And we also I wanted to

5908
03:39:22,787 --> 03:39:25,560
state that they're they have

5909
03:39:25,560 --> 03:39:26,925
been making strides at the

5910
03:39:26,925 --> 03:39:28,727
port in terms of

5911
03:39:28,727 --> 03:39:30,290
electrification, the use of

5912
03:39:30,290 --> 03:39:31,597
hydrogen and just different

5913
03:39:31,597 --> 03:39:34,365
energy sources to move towards

5914
03:39:34,365 --> 03:39:36,368
a cleaner and greener port.

5915
03:39:36,368 --> 03:39:37,937
And we need to continue. And

5916
03:39:37,937 --> 03:39:40,337
it accelerate those. Those

5917
03:39:42,807 --> 03:39:45,807
moves and also consider the

5918
03:39:46,811 --> 03:39:48,514
implications that come from

5919
03:39:48,514 --> 03:39:50,514
certain types changing

5920
03:39:51,716 --> 03:39:52,751
definitions of how industrial

5921
03:39:52,751 --> 03:39:53,785
spaces I parade, particularly

5922
03:39:53,785 --> 03:39:55,785
in residential neighborhoods.

5923
03:39:56,254 --> 03:39:58,990
So again, it's a balance, but

5924
03:39:58,990 --> 03:39:59,724
we all want to see the

5925
03:39:59,724 --> 03:40:00,458
continuation of a strong

5926
03:40:00,458 --> 03:40:03,528
report and what that means for

5927
03:40:03,528 --> 03:40:04,495
the city of And again, through

5928
03:40:04,495 --> 03:40:07,495
chair to the council PRESIDENT

5929
03:40:07,532 --> 03:40:08,232

port of Oakland, Oakland,

5943
03:40:39,964 --> 03:40:40,665
nonprofits that your staff is

5944
03:40:40,665 --> 03:40:42,301
working directly with to make

5945
03:40:42,301 --> 03:40:45,301
to accommodate the housing the

5946
03:40:46,404 --> 03:40:47,372

we move this way. Thank you.

5960
03:41:13,731 --> 03:41:15,330
Thank you very much.

5961
03:41:15,330 --> 03:41:17,433
Appreciate that. Thank you.

5962
03:41:18,336 --> 03:41:21,936
Houston, MR. Gil Chris, so to

5963
03:41:22,307 --> 03:41:24,877
chair, sir. That's okay. Just

5964
03:41:24,877 --> 03:41:25,510
want to as a favor that I know

5965
03:41:25,510 --> 03:41:27,779
you have these community

5966
03:41:27,779 --> 03:41:30,179
meetings group meetings, but

5967
03:41:31,916 --> 03:41:35,200
it's not many. Is this is left

5968
03:41:35,200 --> 03:41:38,891
in my district. I ask you and

5969
03:41:38,891 --> 03:41:39,959
your staff personally to send

5970
03:41:39,959 --> 03:41:41,993
a message him because we just

5971
03:41:41,993 --> 03:41:43,795
city of Oakland. We know what

5972
03:41:43,795 --> 03:41:44,495
is right. You know, with

5973
03:41:44,495 --> 03:41:46,164
businesses that are historic,

5974
03:41:46,164 --> 03:41:48,433
that you can have a one-on-one

5975
03:41:48,433 --> 03:41:49,101
with them instead of a group.

5976
03:41:49,101 --> 03:41:50,602
So understand the needs and

5977
03:41:50,602 --> 03:41:52,637
what they want and what they

5978
03:41:52,637 --> 03:41:53,905
need. Is that okay through

5979
03:41:53,905 --> 03:41:54,773
through the chair to the

5980
03:41:54,773 --> 03:41:56,240
council member, what I'd like

5981
03:41:56,240 --> 03:41:56,942
to do and as we have worked

5982
03:41:56,942 --> 03:41:58,242
together at the new district

5983
03:41:58,242 --> 03:42:00,478
to also come out to the larger

5984
03:42:00,478 --> 03:42:02,213
groups, if I can follow up

5985
03:42:02,213 --> 03:42:02,914
with you and to that city

5986
03:42:02,914 --> 03:42:04,150
ministry's office just to see

5987
03:42:04,150 --> 03:42:04,649
how we can make that work.

5988
03:42:04,649 --> 03:42:05,984
Logistically like it with

5989
03:42:05,984 --> 03:42:08,186
details as how we can make

5990
03:42:08,186 --> 03:42:11,786
that work. Okay. Do chair. So,

5991
03:42:12,230 --> 03:42:13,391
you know, I have East Oakland

5992
03:42:13,391 --> 03:42:14,759
Gateway meeting. Yes, set out

5993
03:42:14,759 --> 03:42:16,862
do is I'll just make that a

5994
03:42:16,862 --> 03:42:17,929
specific for that. Nothing

5995
03:42:17,929 --> 03:42:20,698
else. I add of the things just

5996
03:42:20,698 --> 03:42:22,700
make a now get those of

5997
03:42:22,700 --> 03:42:25,100
historic businesses in that

5998
03:42:25,570 --> 03:42:26,839
area actually come out and

5999
03:42:26,839 --> 03:42:29,574
just speak to that. So they'll

6000
03:42:29,574 --> 03:42:30,308
know who you are, right. And

6001
03:42:30,308 --> 03:42:31,900
you'll know who they are right

6002
03:42:31,900 --> 03:42:31,710
into the chair of the council

6003
03:42:31,710 --> 03:42:32,377
members were from any of that

6004
03:42:32,377 --> 03:42:35,179
form. Thank you, Sir. Okay.

6005
03:42:35,179 --> 03:42:36,115
Thank you. Councilmember Wang

6006
03:42:36,115 --> 03:42:39,715
and we'll go with Brown and

6007
03:42:40,190 --> 03:42:41,352
we'll go our left to ok, thank

6008
03:42:41,352 --> 03:42:42,540
you to the First of all,

6009
03:42:42,540 --> 03:42:45,540
Director Gil Chris and Lauren

6010
03:42:45,690 --> 03:42:46,392
Team just I that's so much

6011
03:42:46,392 --> 03:42:49,794
work went into this. So thank

6012
03:42:49,794 --> 03:42:50,795
you so much for your due

6013
03:42:50,795 --> 03:42:51,496
diligence and putting all of

6014
03:42:51,496 --> 03:42:54,599
this together as well as all

6015
03:42:54,599 --> 03:42:55,633
the community engagement.

6016
03:42:55,633 --> 03:42:58,633
Sessions. I did have just 3

6017
03:42:59,637 --> 03:43:01,205
comments to make what I just

6018
03:43:01,205 --> 03:43:01,941
want to echo the concerns and

6019
03:43:01,941 --> 03:43:04,341
comments around the industrial

6020
03:43:05,577 --> 03:43:07,977
policy. It's just incredibly

6021
03:43:08,347 --> 03:43:09,481
important, especially 51% of

6022
03:43:09,481 --> 03:43:10,582
adult oaklanders not actually

6023
03:43:10,582 --> 03:43:13,251
having a bachelor's degree or

6024
03:43:13,251 --> 03:43:14,786
higher that we really retain

6025
03:43:14,786 --> 03:43:16,210
these blue collar jobs. That's

6026
03:43:16,210 --> 03:43:18,421
incredibly important for the

6027
03:43:19,624 --> 03:43:20,426
employment of our community.

6028
03:43:20,426 --> 03:43:22,600
The second thing that I

6029
03:43:22,600 --> 03:43:24,863
thought was super exciting is

6030
03:43:24,863 --> 03:43:26,497
this map of the cultural

6031
03:43:26,497 --> 03:43:29,168
districts. I think it's so

6032
03:43:29,168 --> 03:43:30,268
cool that we are actually

6033
03:43:30,268 --> 03:43:30,903
formalizing these boundaries.

6034
03:43:30,903 --> 03:43:33,903
I see everything from the

6035
03:43:36,700 --> 03:43:36,675
black Arts movement, the lgbtq

6036
03:43:36,675 --> 03:43:37,342
district, China town, that

6037
03:43:37,342 --> 03:43:38,900
Latinx cultural district as

6038
03:43:38,900 --> 03:43:40,440
well as the black cultural

6039
03:43:40,440 --> 03:43:40,713
zone. I think it's great to

6040
03:43:40,713 --> 03:43:43,113
formalize this because that

6041
03:43:44,150 --> 03:43:46,218
will allow us to then actually

6042
03:43:46,218 --> 03:43:48,119
implement policies for those

6043
03:43:48,119 --> 03:43:48,853
districts. One thing I just

6044
03:43:48,853 --> 03:43:53,530
wanted to know that I would be

6045
03:43:53,592 --> 03:43:54,860
remiss to. Not note that

6046
03:43:54,860 --> 03:43:55,893
Little Saigon, I think is

6047
03:43:55,893 --> 03:43:58,597
missing from the map. That is

6048
03:43:58,597 --> 03:43:59,631
something I would want to work

6049
03:43:59,631 --> 03:44:02,601
with their staff to ensure

6050
03:44:02,601 --> 03:44:03,969
that we don't oversee this

6051
03:44:03,969 --> 03:44:04,636
important Southeast Asian

6052
03:44:04,636 --> 03:44:05,337
refugee community. And the

6053
03:44:05,337 --> 03:44:08,640
final thing I just wanted to

6054
03:44:08,640 --> 03:44:11,176
comment on is I know we made

6055
03:44:11,176 --> 03:44:11,843
some critical sb 79 amendments

6056
03:44:11,843 --> 03:44:14,243
to increase housing density

6057
03:44:14,880 --> 03:44:15,613
around transit corridors.

6058
03:44:15,613 --> 03:44:18,130
Councilmember Unger myself, as

6059
03:44:18,283 --> 03:44:18,983
well as council member.

6060
03:44:18,983 --> 03:44:21,383
Houston made some amendments

6061
03:44:23,354 --> 03:44:24,589
and I couldn't tell in the map

6062
03:44:24,589 --> 03:44:28,189
of the the density if those

6063
03:44:28,427 --> 03:44:30,195
changes were made to our

6064
03:44:30,195 --> 03:44:32,298
respective districts where we

6065
03:44:32,298 --> 03:44:32,931
excluded asked from the

6066
03:44:32,931 --> 03:44:35,331
exclusions. If that makes

6067
03:44:35,466 --> 03:44:36,869
sense. And I just want to make

6068
03:44:36,869 --> 03:44:37,535
sure that that is reflected in

6069
03:44:37,535 --> 03:44:38,104
amount that will be moving

6070
03:44:38,104 --> 03:44:38,836
forward with what is

6071
03:44:38,836 --> 03:44:41,236
designated legally what's been

6072
03:44:41,873 --> 03:44:44,273
adopted. Okay. Great. Thank

6073
03:44:45,777 --> 03:44:46,477
Council member Brown.

6074
03:44:46,477 --> 03:44:47,179
Excellent. Thank you so much.

6075
03:44:47,179 --> 03:44:47,780
Likewise, I just want to also

6076
03:44:47,780 --> 03:44:50,180
thank the planning and

6077
03:44:50,581 --> 03:44:51,683
building team for their their

6078
03:44:51,683 --> 03:44:52,350
work on this this item and

6079
03:44:52,350 --> 03:44:54,954
also engaging with a lot of

6080
03:44:54,954 --> 03:44:55,720
the key stakeholders. And then

6081
03:44:55,720 --> 03:44:58,723
I did just want to up with the

6082
03:44:58,723 --> 03:45:00,580
comments that were made from

6083
03:45:00,580 --> 03:45:02,260
their Urban Strategies Council

6084
03:45:02,260 --> 03:45:02,727
and the Youth Council and is

6085
03:45:02,727 --> 03:45:04,829
really making sure that where

6086
03:45:04,829 --> 03:45:05,497
also centering their vote

6087
03:45:05,497 --> 03:45:08,967
voices as we are working on

6088
03:45:08,967 --> 03:45:10,835
this plan. And so I would like

6089
03:45:10,835 --> 03:45:11,869
the opportunity to, you know,

6090
03:45:11,869 --> 03:45:12,437
help support any of the

6091
03:45:12,437 --> 03:45:13,171
additional community

6092
03:45:13,171 --> 03:45:16,171
engagement to make sure that

6093
03:45:17,376 --> 03:45:19,243
meet where we're meeting you

6094
03:45:19,243 --> 03:45:22,147
know, some of our younger

6095
03:45:22,147 --> 03:45:22,881
community members as well.

6096
03:45:22,881 --> 03:45:24,116
Absolutely. Again, through the

6097
03:45:24,116 --> 03:45:25,149
chair to Councilmember Brown.

6098
03:45:25,149 --> 03:45:28,149
Yes, and they were wonderful

6099
03:45:28,320 --> 03:45:28,988
part, western phase one and

6100
03:45:28,988 --> 03:45:29,622
much of the success we had

6101
03:45:29,622 --> 03:45:32,622
that that that they were

6102
03:45:41,933 --> 03:45:42,568
instrumental. There is a

6103
03:45:42,568 --> 03:45:43,201
motion by Councilmember 5

6104
03:45:43,201 --> 03:45:45,201

also close this public

6108
03:45:57,749 --> 03:45:58,450
hearing? Council member Brown?

6109
03:45:58,450 --> 03:45:59,150

Blair Beekman for item 5.3

everything online. MR. Beekman

6289
03:52:57,102 --> 03:52:59,502
please unmute yourself and

6290
03:53:01,639 --> 03:53:02,340
begin your comments. I they

6291
03:53:02,340 --> 03:53:04,843
beat and my dismay it back to

6292
03:53:04,843 --> 03:53:07,843
meeting. Hi, everyone. This is

6293
03:53:09,140 --> 03:53:10,515
an important item for myself.

6294
03:53:10,515 --> 03:53:11,215
I'm worried about

6295
03:53:11,215 --> 03:53:13,215
consolidation process that's

6296
03:53:14,720 --> 03:53:16,154
going on this I don't I don't

6297
03:53:16,154 --> 03:53:17,789
think I'm worried that city

6298
03:53:17,789 --> 03:53:18,957
government has some start a

6299
03:53:18,957 --> 03:53:19,958
special privilege and they

6300
03:53:19,958 --> 03:53:23,558
don't want to take the time

6301
03:53:23,661 --> 03:53:24,897
and care to better. Describe

6302
03:53:24,897 --> 03:53:25,563
items on balance. I mean, I

6303
03:53:25,563 --> 03:53:26,298
understand the process and

6304
03:53:26,298 --> 03:53:30,498
that you have a legal right to

6305
03:53:30,536 --> 03:53:32,936
end. It does create

6306
03:53:34,172 --> 03:53:34,840
differences between a a

6307
03:53:34,840 --> 03:53:37,240
community ballot process in

6308
03:53:38,110 --> 03:53:40,211
the city let process. But the

6309
03:53:40,211 --> 03:53:41,579
voter is still unaware of what

6310
03:53:41,579 --> 03:53:42,213
exactly an item is about. And

6311
03:53:42,213 --> 03:53:42,915
I don't think that serves

6312
03:53:42,915 --> 03:53:45,915
anybody any good except lead

6313
03:53:46,618 --> 03:53:48,286
us in. And are supposed to be

6314
03:53:48,286 --> 03:53:49,540
working away from that at this

6315
03:53:49,540 --> 03:53:49,688
point of our democracy? I feel

6316
03:53:49,688 --> 03:53:52,688
so I question what you're

6317
03:53:52,790 --> 03:53:53,592
doing with this. Thank you.

6318
03:53:53,592 --> 03:53:54,292
Thank you so much. We

6319
03:53:54,292 --> 03:53:56,227
appreciate that. Welcome back

6320
03:53:56,227 --> 03:53:59,827
to the meeting. Is there a

6321
03:54:08,172 --> 03:54:10,108

passes with a vote 8. Item is

6335
03:54:36,100 --> 03:54:38,100
approved for introduction.

6336
03:54:38,169 --> 03:54:41,169
Final passage will be JULY

6337
03:54:43,108 --> 03:54:43,875
25th clerk, please call in 5.4

6338
03:54:43,875 --> 03:54:44,542

signed up for a vote. They

6340
03:54:48,460 --> 03:54:50,446
will get 2 minutes time.

6341
03:54:51,783 --> 03:54:53,850
Calling an item 5.4, not 5.5

6342
03:54:53,850 --> 03:54:54,920
together. Receive information

6343
03:54:54,920 --> 03:54:55,653
report on the inventory of

6344
03:54:55,653 --> 03:54:57,653
city-owned properties analyzed

6345
03:54:58,758 --> 03:54:59,457
for use as interim shelter,

6346
03:54:59,457 --> 03:55:00,124
say parking a vehicle storage

6347
03:55:00,124 --> 03:55:02,524
pursuant to the encampment

6348
03:55:04,263 --> 03:55:06,397
abatement policy. And recent

6349
03:55:06,397 --> 03:55:07,310
item, 5.5 receive information

6350
03:55:07,310 --> 03:55:07,599
report from the in Kate.

6351
03:55:07,599 --> 03:55:09,599
Excuse me, encampment

6352
03:55:10,435 --> 03:55:12,835
management team. On encampment

6353
03:55:13,380 --> 03:55:15,438
management operations. Keep it

6354
03:55:19,444 --> 03:55:21,444
do. Consolidated. Absolutely.

6355
03:55:22,814 --> 03:55:23,648
Good evening Council PRESIDENT

6356
03:55:23,648 --> 03:55:24,616
Jenkyns commission members,

6357
03:55:24,616 --> 03:55:25,817
councilmembers and community

6358
03:55:25,817 --> 03:55:27,518
members. I'll just quickly run

6359
03:55:27,518 --> 03:55:28,553
over the city's analysis, the

6360
03:55:28,553 --> 03:55:29,221
city-owned property Underdone

6361
03:55:29,221 --> 03:55:31,322
came into being and policy

6362
03:55:31,322 --> 03:55:32,423
resolution. 9, 1, 0, 0, 2, I

6363
03:55:32,423 --> 03:55:34,580
do want to give a huge shout

6364
03:55:34,580 --> 03:55:35,860
out to King Garcia, Jordan

6365
03:55:35,860 --> 03:55:38,290
Flanders, Brendan Moriarty and

6366
03:55:38,290 --> 03:55:38,998
Kelly Con for the work and the

6367
03:55:38,998 --> 03:55:39,697
time that they put into this

6368
03:55:39,697 --> 03:55:43,297
analysis. I believe I have a

6369
03:55:43,335 --> 03:55:44,436
side. Yes, thanks. So just

6370
03:55:44,436 --> 03:55:45,437
really quickly, when county

6371
03:55:45,437 --> 03:55:46,639
adopted in came into being

6372
03:55:46,639 --> 03:55:48,106
policy in directed staff to

6373
03:55:48,106 --> 03:55:48,906
complete a review of city

6374
03:55:48,906 --> 03:55:51,306
owned property for potential

6375
03:55:52,477 --> 03:55:54,445
homelessness response uses

6376
03:55:54,445 --> 03:55:55,180
specifically. We asked to

6377
03:55:55,180 --> 03:55:56,614
evaluate city-owned properties

6378
03:55:56,614 --> 03:55:58,916
across every council district

6379
03:55:58,916 --> 03:56:01,316
for 3 possible uses interim

6380
03:56:02,540 --> 03:56:02,720
shelter, safe parking and

6381
03:56:02,720 --> 03:56:04,689
vehicle storage. Today's

6382
03:56:04,689 --> 03:56:07,890
presentation, the fields that

6383
03:56:07,492 --> 03:56:08,359
request the team evaluated. 46

6384
03:56:08,359 --> 03:56:09,270
city-owned properties of

6385
03:56:09,270 --> 03:56:11,270
significant size. 42 bacon,

6386
03:56:12,830 --> 03:56:13,865
parcels for buildings. One

6387
03:56:13,865 --> 03:56:15,366
procedural, no presentation of

6388
03:56:15,366 --> 03:56:15,934
this inventory but feels the

6389
03:56:15,934 --> 03:56:16,601
reporting requirement

6390
03:56:16,601 --> 03:56:17,835
established in the adopt a

6391
03:56:17,835 --> 03:56:19,771
policy and allows

6392
03:56:19,771 --> 03:56:20,905
implementation. Encampment

6393
03:56:20,905 --> 03:56:22,874
abatement policy to move

6394
03:56:22,874 --> 03:56:23,574
forward. Again, this is an

6395
03:56:23,574 --> 03:56:24,243
informational update. So I

6396
03:56:24,243 --> 03:56:26,779
want to explain how we came

6397
03:56:26,779 --> 03:56:27,712
through this approach. It

6398
03:56:27,712 --> 03:56:30,214
would have been easy to bring

6399
03:56:30,214 --> 03:56:30,916
forward just a list of vacant

6400
03:56:30,916 --> 03:56:32,251
properties. But what we that

6401
03:56:32,251 --> 03:56:34,452
would have been useful for you

6402
03:56:34,452 --> 03:56:35,653
also, what we did is we asked

6403
03:56:35,653 --> 03:56:37,255
the proper question, which of

6404
03:56:37,255 --> 03:56:37,956
the on properties have the

6405
03:56:37,956 --> 03:56:38,590
greatest potential to safely

6406
03:56:38,590 --> 03:56:40,325
and responsibly support,

6407
03:56:40,325 --> 03:56:41,659
shelter, safe parking and

6408
03:56:41,659 --> 03:56:42,627
vehicle storage while serving

6409
03:56:42,627 --> 03:56:43,795
the greatest number of people

6410
03:56:43,795 --> 03:56:45,970
at a reasonable cost. And then

6411
03:56:45,970 --> 03:56:47,310
the shortest practical time

6412
03:56:47,310 --> 03:56:49,100
frame availability was not

6413
03:56:49,100 --> 03:56:50,768
enough. We used 3 guiding

6414
03:56:50,768 --> 03:56:52,171
principles first public

6415
03:56:52,171 --> 03:56:53,404
investment matters. Second

6416
03:56:53,404 --> 03:56:55,404
community connection matters.

6417
03:56:55,406 --> 03:56:58,476
3rd, this is just a snapshot

6418
03:56:58,476 --> 03:56:59,210
of today. Properties tier

6419
03:56:59,210 --> 03:56:59,912
reflects its current condition

6420
03:56:59,912 --> 03:57:02,470
agreements constraints. It is

6421
03:57:02,470 --> 03:57:04,490
not a permanent verdict. The

6422
03:57:04,490 --> 03:57:05,984
property that is not feasible

6423
03:57:05,984 --> 03:57:06,985
today MAY become feasible

6424
03:57:06,985 --> 03:57:07,685
later if in agreement ends, a

6425
03:57:07,685 --> 03:57:08,287
constrain is resolved or new

6426
03:57:08,287 --> 03:57:10,287
infrastructure becomes

6427
03:57:12,858 --> 03:57:15,258
available. Each of the 46

6428
03:57:16,528 --> 03:57:17,762
properties was reviewed using

6429
03:57:17,762 --> 03:57:20,466
the same said, oh, no, this is

6430
03:57:20,466 --> 03:57:21,899
the wrong. This is the e Matt.

6431
03:57:21,899 --> 03:57:22,601
Yes, this is the emap

6432
03:57:22,601 --> 03:57:24,402
presentation. This shouldn't

6433
03:57:24,402 --> 03:57:26,839
be it should be land inventory

6434
03:57:26,839 --> 03:57:28,839
presentation. Okay. They're

6435
03:57:36,247 --> 03:57:36,914
working on fixing it. Yes, I

6436
03:57:36,914 --> 03:57:37,583
will continue while they're

6437
03:57:37,583 --> 03:57:39,830
fixing it so we can utilize

6438
03:57:39,830 --> 03:57:41,520
this time. I don't want to

6439
03:57:41,520 --> 03:57:42,220
delay it. So each of the 4, 6

6440
03:57:42,220 --> 03:57:44,620
properties was reviewed using

6441
03:57:45,457 --> 03:57:46,758
the same set of criteria. So

6442
03:57:46,758 --> 03:57:47,859
we looked at the parcel size

6443
03:57:47,859 --> 03:57:48,520
surface conditions, s#

6444
03:57:48,520 --> 03:57:48,255
#

6445
03:57:48,255 --> 03:57:48,446
#

6446
03:57:48,446 --> 03:57:48,638
#

6447
03:57:48,638 --> 03:57:50,638
,

6448
03:57:50,929 --> 03:57:52,929
infrastructure, proximity to

6449
03:57:54,266 --> 03:57:56,266
infrastructure. Cost existing

6450
03:57:56,334 --> 03:57:58,237
legal or contractual

6451
03:57:58,237 --> 03:57:59,237
commitments, environmental

6452
03:57:59,237 --> 03:58:00,471
conditions, fire risk ability

6453
03:58:00,471 --> 03:58:03,574
and how quickly a site could

6454
03:58:03,574 --> 03:58:05,574
realistically be activated.

6455
03:58:06,545 --> 03:58:07,679
The consistency matters. We

6456
03:58:07,679 --> 03:58:10,790
did not want different

6457
03:58:10,349 --> 03:58:10,950
standards depending on the

6458
03:58:10,950 --> 03:58:11,582
location. We wanted one

6459
03:58:11,582 --> 03:58:12,451
citywide framework. So we

6460
03:58:12,451 --> 03:58:13,584
apply this to all council

6461
03:58:13,584 --> 03:58:15,984
district. There were also 3

6462
03:58:17,880 --> 03:58:19,880
automatic. This qualifiers

6463
03:58:19,291 --> 03:58:21,291
first exclusive negotiating

6464
03:58:21,426 --> 03:58:22,126
agreement or pending property

6465
03:58:22,126 --> 03:58:24,128
sales, second location within

6466
03:58:24,128 --> 03:58:25,697
a very high fire hazard

6467
03:58:25,697 --> 03:58:26,464
severity zone and 3rd known

6468
03:58:26,464 --> 03:58:28,464
environmental contamination.

6469
03:58:30,101 --> 03:58:30,702
That makes habitation unsafe

6470
03:58:30,702 --> 03:58:32,170
where those conditions

6471
03:58:32,170 --> 03:58:33,972
existed. We did not advance

6472
03:58:33,972 --> 03:58:35,173
the property if council would

6473
03:58:35,173 --> 03:58:36,341
like to discuss the specific

6474
03:58:36,341 --> 03:58:37,409
property or technical issue

6475
03:58:37,409 --> 03:58:38,100
during or after the

6476
03:58:38,100 --> 03:58:38,677
presentation. I have my

6477
03:58:38,677 --> 03:58:40,779
colleagues here who will be

6478
03:58:40,779 --> 03:58:43,314
able to answer that question

6479
03:58:43,314 --> 03:58:44,182
of the 46 properties evaluated

6480
03:58:44,182 --> 03:58:46,840
5 emerged as the strongest

6481
03:58:46,840 --> 03:58:46,751
candidates for additional

6482
03:58:46,751 --> 03:58:48,751
evaluation. 9 showed

6483
03:58:50,588 --> 03:58:51,489
potential. But currently have

6484
03:58:51,489 --> 03:58:53,489
identifiable constraints. And

6485
03:58:54,726 --> 03:58:55,927
32 were not feasible under the

6486
03:58:55,927 --> 03:58:56,895
current conditions. And I want

6487
03:58:56,895 --> 03:58:58,863
to be candid. The largest

6488
03:58:58,863 --> 03:58:59,931
category is the not feasible

6489
03:58:59,931 --> 03:59:02,668
today group that reflects the

6490
03:59:02,668 --> 03:59:03,701
reality of the city's land

6491
03:59:03,701 --> 03:59:06,101
portfolio. Many properties are

6492
03:59:06,771 --> 03:59:07,472
already committed to other

6493
03:59:07,472 --> 03:59:08,172
public purpose is constrained

6494
03:59:08,172 --> 03:59:08,873
by environmental legal issues

6495
03:59:08,873 --> 03:59:10,108
located in areas that are not

6496
03:59:10,108 --> 03:59:12,510
safe for habitation or simply

6497
03:59:12,510 --> 03:59:14,279
too small to support a

6498
03:59:14,279 --> 03:59:15,546
functioning program. The value

6499
03:59:15,546 --> 03:59:16,848
of the exercise is focus

6500
03:59:16,848 --> 03:59:17,782
instead of spreading attention

6501
03:59:17,782 --> 03:59:19,684
across dozens of parcels. We

6502
03:59:19,684 --> 03:59:21,654
now have a clear understanding

6503
03:59:21,654 --> 03:59:22,388
of where the strongest

6504
03:59:22,388 --> 03:59:23,955
opportunities are, what

6505
03:59:23,955 --> 03:59:24,656
barriers remain under a

6506
03:59:24,656 --> 03:59:26,424
property should be monitored

6507
03:59:26,424 --> 03:59:28,526
on conditions of change. So

6508
03:59:28,526 --> 03:59:30,528
let me start with us. But the

6509
03:59:30,528 --> 03:59:32,928
5 strong gusts, the first 5

6510
03:59:32,964 --> 03:59:36,134
tier of 5, the first of the

6511
03:59:36,134 --> 03:59:36,768
year, 1, 5, properties

6512
03:59:36,768 --> 03:59:37,402
represented the strongest

6513
03:59:37,402 --> 03:59:38,803
opportunities identified

6514
03:59:38,803 --> 03:59:40,339
through. This is now says this

6515
03:59:40,339 --> 03:59:41,506
means that they MAY not be

6516
03:59:41,506 --> 03:59:43,174
shovel ready, but it means

6517
03:59:43,174 --> 03:59:45,411
that they have the fewest

6518
03:59:45,411 --> 03:59:47,450
barriers and and that the rest

6519
03:59:47,450 --> 03:59:48,800
of the portfolio Warren

6520
03:59:48,800 --> 03:59:49,213
additional planning due

6521
03:59:49,213 --> 03:59:51,150
diligence and funding

6522
03:59:51,150 --> 03:59:53,510
analysis. The 5 sites are East

6523
03:59:53,510 --> 03:59:56,200
12th Street and 23rd Avenue in

6524
03:59:56,200 --> 03:59:58,824
District 5. We said we had 9,

6525
03:59:58,824 --> 03:59:59,891
0, 5, 66 Avenue. We had 7.11,

6526
03:59:59,891 --> 04:00:01,793
70st avenue which we're

6527
04:00:01,793 --> 04:00:03,793
currently strategizing on

6528
04:00:03,829 --> 04:00:06,432
right now. And then we also

6529
04:00:06,432 --> 04:00:07,733
had 7, 4, 2, 5, Stanley and

6530
04:00:07,733 --> 04:00:09,734
Real street and them out lot

6531
04:00:09,734 --> 04:00:11,603
at 8,000 Southwest. I mean,

6532
04:00:11,603 --> 04:00:14,540
South Coliseum way in District

6533
04:00:14,540 --> 04:00:15,707
7. Each side has a different

6534
04:00:15,707 --> 04:00:16,408
potential use, depending on

6535
04:00:16,408 --> 04:00:17,342
characteristics, some MAY be

6536
04:00:17,342 --> 04:00:18,544
better suited for interim

6537
04:00:18,544 --> 04:00:19,210
shelter. Others MAY be more

6538
04:00:19,210 --> 04:00:20,579
appropriate for say parking

6539
04:00:20,579 --> 04:00:22,848
your vehicle storage. I want

6540
04:00:22,848 --> 04:00:24,582
to stress 2 points, though.

6541
04:00:24,582 --> 04:00:26,351
First, every site still

6542
04:00:26,351 --> 04:00:28,351
requires additional due

6543
04:00:28,353 --> 04:00:29,955
diligence that MAY include

6544
04:00:29,955 --> 04:00:30,588
environmental review utility

6545
04:00:30,588 --> 04:00:32,588
confirmation engineering

6546
04:00:34,225 --> 04:00:36,928
analysis, design work or other

6547
04:00:36,928 --> 04:00:37,895
pre-development scopes. Second

6548
04:00:37,895 --> 04:00:39,698
feasibility is not the same as

6549
04:00:39,698 --> 04:00:40,331
funding before any site could

6550
04:00:40,331 --> 04:00:42,731
be activated. It require

6551
04:00:43,502 --> 04:00:44,702
capital funding to prepare the

6552
04:00:44,702 --> 04:00:45,870
property and ongoing operating

6553
04:00:45,870 --> 04:00:47,805
funding for staffing security

6554
04:00:47,805 --> 04:00:49,774
services, maintenance and

6555
04:00:49,774 --> 04:00:50,975
program management. Today's

6556
04:00:50,975 --> 04:00:52,110
presentation identifies

6557
04:00:52,110 --> 04:00:54,411
opportunity. It does not

6558
04:00:54,913 --> 04:00:56,913
authorize construction or

6559
04:00:56,981 --> 04:00:57,950
activation. So that here, too,

6560
04:00:57,950 --> 04:00:59,950
there was 9 different

6561
04:01:00,219 --> 04:01:03,123
properties. These do not are

6562
04:01:03,123 --> 04:01:04,889
not permanent. No decisions.

6563
04:01:04,889 --> 04:01:06,958
They are not not yet

6564
04:01:06,958 --> 04:01:08,192
decisions. For example, the

6565
04:01:08,192 --> 04:01:10,280
Henry Robinson, which is an

6566
04:01:10,280 --> 04:01:10,929
sro. We know that it takes a

6567
04:01:10,929 --> 04:01:12,597
lot more to get significant

6568
04:01:12,597 --> 04:01:14,966
capital investment before the

6569
04:01:14,966 --> 04:01:15,700
unit could be returned to

6570
04:01:15,700 --> 04:01:17,269
service. There was also high

6571
04:01:17,269 --> 04:01:18,370
street which has been used for

6572
04:01:18,370 --> 04:01:20,139
rv related infrastructure

6573
04:01:20,139 --> 04:01:22,241
before and then the home base

6574
04:01:22,241 --> 04:01:24,877
light. And finally, to close

6575
04:01:24,877 --> 04:01:25,544
this out, we have currently

6576
04:01:25,544 --> 04:01:27,944
infeasible sites and rather

6577
04:01:28,781 --> 04:01:29,649
through walk through all 32

6578
04:01:29,649 --> 04:01:31,649
currently individual

6579
04:01:31,684 --> 04:01:32,585
properties. We group them into

6580
04:01:32,585 --> 04:01:33,385
areas and they fall into 7

6581
04:01:33,385 --> 04:01:36,155
categories as to why they were

6582
04:01:36,155 --> 04:01:37,490
not in tier 2 or tier one.

6583
04:01:37,490 --> 04:01:38,157
These categories generally

6584
04:01:38,157 --> 04:01:40,391
fall under some properties

6585
04:01:40,391 --> 04:01:42,428
were already committed to

6586
04:01:42,428 --> 04:01:44,828
affordable housing. Some are

6587
04:01:45,640 --> 04:01:45,731
under active development

6588
04:01:45,731 --> 04:01:46,664
agreements are other legal

6589
04:01:46,664 --> 04:01:47,499
commitments. Some have known

6590
04:01:47,499 --> 04:01:49,499
environmental contamination.

6591
04:01:49,668 --> 04:01:52,439
Some are local located in very

6592
04:01:52,439 --> 04:01:53,639
high fire hazard severity

6593
04:01:53,639 --> 04:01:54,273
zones summer to smaller,

6594
04:01:54,273 --> 04:01:56,273
physically unsuitable to

6595
04:01:57,476 --> 04:01:59,345
operate a program. Some are

6596
04:01:59,345 --> 04:02:01,800
active public or retail

6597
04:02:01,800 --> 04:02:01,746
parking site and some serve as

6598
04:02:01,746 --> 04:02:02,448
community open space, green

6599
04:02:02,448 --> 04:02:04,848
space or recreational space.

6600
04:02:06,317 --> 04:02:09,540
The important point is that

6601
04:02:09,540 --> 04:02:09,655
the inventories dynamic, if

6602
04:02:09,655 --> 04:02:10,388
conditions change, for

6603
04:02:10,388 --> 04:02:12,560
example, if an agreement ends,

6604
04:02:12,560 --> 04:02:13,826
if environmental concerns are

6605
04:02:13,826 --> 04:02:16,762
addressed or a public use

6606
04:02:16,762 --> 04:02:18,664
changes a property can be

6607
04:02:18,664 --> 04:02:20,766
re-evaluated using the same

6608
04:02:20,766 --> 04:02:22,701
framework. So with that,

6609
04:02:22,701 --> 04:02:23,970
today's report provides the

6610
04:02:23,970 --> 04:02:24,736
city's first comprehensive

6611
04:02:24,736 --> 04:02:26,639
policy driven assessment of

6612
04:02:26,639 --> 04:02:28,507
its own property portfolio,

6613
04:02:28,507 --> 04:02:30,507
potential homelessness

6614
04:02:30,875 --> 04:02:31,776
response uses. It establishes

6615
04:02:31,776 --> 04:02:34,176
a consistent framework. It

6616
04:02:34,413 --> 04:02:35,113
identifies where act

6617
04:02:35,113 --> 04:02:35,848
opportunities exist today and

6618
04:02:35,848 --> 04:02:38,820
it documents where constraints

6619
04:02:38,820 --> 04:02:39,352
remain throughout to perform.

6620
04:02:39,352 --> 04:02:41,752
More importantly, this gives

6621
04:02:42,288 --> 04:02:43,122
the city repeatable

6622
04:02:43,122 --> 04:02:43,821
decision-making tool as

6623
04:02:43,821 --> 04:02:44,490
properties and circumstances

6624
04:02:44,490 --> 04:02:45,225
change. We can re evaluate

6625
04:02:45,225 --> 04:02:47,427
them using the same objective

6626
04:02:47,427 --> 04:02:49,827
methodology. That is my

6627
04:02:50,462 --> 04:02:51,597
report. Thank you. Thank you

6628
04:02:51,597 --> 04:02:54,650
so much. Can some of the

6629
04:02:54,650 --> 04:02:56,465
Houston Council member Brown?

6630
04:02:57,569 --> 04:03:01,169
Yes to the chair. Thank you.

6631
04:03:01,240 --> 04:03:05,440
MR. Qb I was the author, the

6632
04:03:06,946 --> 04:03:10,546
Eap. And 7 days. It's going to

6633
04:03:11,283 --> 04:03:11,951
be launched. We had 3 months

6634
04:03:11,951 --> 04:03:13,786
right and 6 months prior to

6635
04:03:13,786 --> 04:03:14,586
that. I knew it was going

6636
04:03:14,586 --> 04:03:18,186
pass. But it just took a

6637
04:03:18,690 --> 04:03:21,690
little work. There is a

6638
04:03:22,927 --> 04:03:23,630
property. Not in my district,

6639
04:03:23,630 --> 04:03:25,832
but I work hand in glove with

6640
04:03:25,832 --> 04:03:27,800
councilmember. PRESIDENT Kevin

6641
04:03:27,800 --> 04:03:30,350
Jenkins is in his district and

6642
04:03:30,350 --> 04:03:30,936
it was a sight, a 7, 1, 1,

6643
04:03:30,936 --> 04:03:32,936
assistant district 7, but

6644
04:03:33,305 --> 04:03:35,705
especially in district 6 the

6645
04:03:38,344 --> 04:03:40,311
city spent. $500,000 to get

6646
04:03:40,311 --> 04:03:43,911
ready for rv's. It was closed

6647
04:03:47,519 --> 04:03:50,155
down. Wasn't secure. The 3 the

6648
04:03:50,155 --> 04:03:50,823
$500,000 is damage ripped up.

6649
04:03:50,823 --> 04:03:52,858
Telephone poles, cut down,

6650
04:03:52,858 --> 04:03:54,860
lights, pole, cut down. And

6651
04:03:54,860 --> 04:03:55,561
this is what happens when you

6652
04:03:55,561 --> 04:03:56,227
start change staffing. And I

6653
04:03:56,227 --> 04:03:59,227
don't know what call Justin

6654
04:03:59,965 --> 04:04:00,733
Staff. Justin Johnson came

6655
04:04:00,733 --> 04:04:03,101
out, looked at it. We were

6656
04:04:03,101 --> 04:04:03,768
rolling on it because is

6657
04:04:03,768 --> 04:04:05,571
something that needs to be

6658
04:04:05,571 --> 04:04:08,571
happened. Needs to happen. In

6659
04:04:08,607 --> 04:04:09,941
the city of Oakland. I need

6660
04:04:09,941 --> 04:04:10,609
you to share with the public

6661
04:04:10,609 --> 04:04:13,900
share with my constituents.

6662
04:04:15,346 --> 04:04:16,810
Colleagues. What property? Is

6663
04:04:16,810 --> 04:04:20,281
the top of the chain? Ready to

6664
04:04:20,419 --> 04:04:21,787
go? I want I want them to hear

6665
04:04:21,787 --> 04:04:22,855
it Which one is the best ready

6666
04:04:22,855 --> 04:04:25,423
to go yet through the chair to

6667
04:04:25,423 --> 04:04:27,258
the council member? It is

6668
04:04:27,258 --> 04:04:28,894
7.11, the 71st Street parking

6669
04:04:28,894 --> 04:04:33,940
lot. So so so we're behind the

6670
04:04:34,299 --> 04:04:36,135
ball. Because it's 7 days when

6671
04:04:36,135 --> 04:04:36,868
he's launched. We don't have a

6672
04:04:36,868 --> 04:04:37,503
property ready that could have

6673
04:04:37,503 --> 04:04:39,903
been ready 3 months ago.

6674
04:04:40,873 --> 04:04:43,273
PRESIDENT. Could have been

6675
04:04:44,430 --> 04:04:45,210
ready. Could be ready 6 months

6676
04:04:45,210 --> 04:04:48,810
prior when first started to e

6677
04:04:49,414 --> 04:04:50,150
a p we can't wait until is

6678
04:04:50,150 --> 04:04:50,683
launched to have these

6679
04:04:50,683 --> 04:04:53,830
properties get them ready.

6680
04:04:53,319 --> 04:04:56,722
Now. I want to move on us

6681
04:04:56,722 --> 04:04:57,389
because already have a

6682
04:04:57,389 --> 04:04:58,290
obligation are you spoke to

6683
04:04:58,290 --> 04:05:00,690
Alameda County they're willing

6684
04:05:02,727 --> 04:05:03,896
to provide the provider. And

6685
04:05:03,896 --> 04:05:07,496
that's why we shut it Down.

6686
04:05:10,736 --> 04:05:11,370
Council member. Jannati. They

6687
04:05:11,370 --> 04:05:12,370
shut it down because they

6688
04:05:12,370 --> 04:05:15,370
didn't have funding for the

6689
04:05:15,975 --> 04:05:16,708
provider. The county's goals

6690
04:05:16,708 --> 04:05:19,708
provided the provider from the

6691
04:05:19,878 --> 04:05:23,478
measure w money. I want to

6692
04:05:24,183 --> 04:05:26,118
know. What the public to hear

6693
04:05:26,118 --> 04:05:28,530
to when is this going to be

6694
04:05:28,530 --> 04:05:28,721
ready to get that money to

6695
04:05:28,721 --> 04:05:29,488
get? Because we have to put

6696
04:05:29,488 --> 04:05:30,622
skin in game. And that's what

6697
04:05:30,622 --> 04:05:31,657
the supervisor from Alameda

6698
04:05:31,657 --> 04:05:34,426
County said. Put some skin in

6699
04:05:34,426 --> 04:05:35,590
the game is going cost me. I

6700
04:05:35,590 --> 04:05:38,590
got estimated at a layout

6701
04:05:38,598 --> 04:05:41,598
already done. It's going cost

6702
04:05:42,333 --> 04:05:43,680
about $300,000. And we got

6703
04:05:43,680 --> 04:05:44,870
what 1.0, 2 million dollars we

6704
04:05:44,870 --> 04:05:46,972
put to get to the site.

6705
04:05:46,972 --> 04:05:48,842
PRESIDENT. Do we put 1.2

6706
04:05:48,842 --> 04:05:49,508
million dollars to decipher

6707
04:05:49,508 --> 04:05:51,176
rv's say parking and things

6708
04:05:51,176 --> 04:05:54,776
like that. That the case. So

6709
04:05:55,481 --> 04:05:56,214
that means I can use 250, 40.

6710
04:05:56,214 --> 04:05:58,584
Councilmember Gallo can use to

6711
04:05:58,584 --> 04:06:00,584
40. And councilmember 5 can

6712
04:06:03,756 --> 04:06:06,358
use to 40 can use to 40 right.

6713
04:06:06,358 --> 04:06:07,558
So that means that could put

6714
04:06:07,558 --> 04:06:08,226
much to 40 together Neda.

6715
04:06:08,226 --> 04:06:09,827
Before 82, we can get that

6716
04:06:09,827 --> 04:06:12,227
site. Roland and Council

6717
04:06:13,465 --> 04:06:14,532
member PRESIDENT Jenkins area.

6718
04:06:14,532 --> 04:06:15,100
So I want some commitments you

6719
04:06:15,100 --> 04:06:18,100
we've got a new city

6720
04:06:18,436 --> 04:06:19,438
administrator. She came out

6721
04:06:19,438 --> 04:06:22,307
and watch. Didn't look good

6722
04:06:22,307 --> 04:06:23,800
and walked in Justin Johnson.

6723
04:06:23,800 --> 04:06:23,708
You could have had this role.

6724
04:06:23,708 --> 04:06:27,908
Just it would be forced to to

6725
04:06:28,948 --> 04:06:29,682
leave so my thing is, is. The

6726
04:06:29,682 --> 04:06:33,151
public wants to know my people

6727
04:06:33,151 --> 04:06:33,719
want to know because my

6728
04:06:33,719 --> 04:06:36,119
community is the most

6729
04:06:38,289 --> 04:06:40,825
underserved. And when we come

6730
04:06:40,825 --> 04:06:42,394
up with a sanctuary city

6731
04:06:42,394 --> 04:06:45,994
ordinance is coming up in the

6732
04:06:47,432 --> 04:06:48,800
city of Refuge. A change that

6733
04:06:48,800 --> 04:06:49,434
work council member Weiss, I

6734
04:06:49,434 --> 04:06:50,401
want to ask and I want my

6735
04:06:50,401 --> 04:06:52,103
public. I want my people to

6736
04:06:52,103 --> 04:06:52,805
know when is that site will be

6737
04:06:52,805 --> 04:06:54,372
ready when we don't have the

6738
04:06:54,372 --> 04:06:55,400
money to put it up so the

6739
04:06:55,400 --> 04:06:58,400
county can put their money

6740
04:06:59,778 --> 04:07:00,478
because they Yeah, that's a

6741
04:07:00,478 --> 04:07:01,747
processional question through

6742
04:07:01,747 --> 04:07:03,782
the chair to the council

6743
04:07:03,782 --> 04:07:04,849
member. Can't speak for the

6744
04:07:04,849 --> 04:07:06,500
county's money. You know, we

6745
04:07:06,500 --> 04:07:06,651
have from Italy reached out to

6746
04:07:06,651 --> 04:07:08,286
the county. They have a

6747
04:07:08,286 --> 04:07:10,188
process amount as it w so we

6748
04:07:10,188 --> 04:07:12,458
are actively engaging with

6749
04:07:12,458 --> 04:07:13,920
them. What we're doing right

6750
04:07:13,920 --> 04:07:13,726
now is still hoping to go

6751
04:07:13,726 --> 04:07:16,126
through a physical needs

6752
04:07:17,630 --> 04:07:18,763
assessment so we can identify

6753
04:07:18,763 --> 04:07:20,598
how much it cost to get the

6754
04:07:20,598 --> 04:07:21,266
property up to where it needs

6755
04:07:21,266 --> 04:07:22,700
to be. So that's the first

6756
04:07:22,700 --> 04:07:24,336
step that we're taking right

6757
04:07:24,336 --> 04:07:25,690
now. That's currently

6758
04:07:25,690 --> 04:07:25,770
happening. We're trying to see

6759
04:07:25,770 --> 04:07:26,437
if we have a contract that we

6760
04:07:26,437 --> 04:07:28,307
can build off of. So that's

6761
04:07:28,307 --> 04:07:29,307
where can be done. One of the

6762
04:07:29,307 --> 04:07:31,420
things I want to caution on is

6763
04:07:31,420 --> 04:07:32,760
that I did see the cost

6764
04:07:32,760 --> 04:07:32,811
assessment that was provided

6765
04:07:32,811 --> 04:07:36,800
to you previously. And I think

6766
04:07:36,800 --> 04:07:37,616
it was under bit. So there are

6767
04:07:37,616 --> 04:07:38,283
contingencies that need to be

6768
04:07:38,283 --> 04:07:39,651
considered saying that they

6769
04:07:39,651 --> 04:07:43,251
have all the property all the

6770
04:07:43,522 --> 04:07:44,722
proper. You materials and the

6771
04:07:44,722 --> 04:07:45,423
considerations that need to be

6772
04:07:45,423 --> 04:07:47,326
given to that property. But I

6773
04:07:47,326 --> 04:07:49,294
want to separate out 2 things.

6774
04:07:49,294 --> 04:07:50,295
Also, there is the capex

6775
04:07:50,295 --> 04:07:52,695
capital expenditures with what

6776
04:07:54,330 --> 04:07:54,732
it takes to build a thing. And

6777
04:07:54,732 --> 04:07:55,434
then there's the operational

6778
04:07:55,434 --> 04:07:56,134
expenditures. And that's what

6779
04:07:56,134 --> 04:07:56,869
you're talking about with the

6780
04:07:56,869 --> 04:07:59,710
county since we do not control

6781
04:07:59,710 --> 04:08:00,171
that county funds. We are

6782
04:08:00,171 --> 04:08:02,700
looking to you for the

6783
04:08:02,700 --> 04:08:03,410
engagement with the county,

6784
04:08:03,410 --> 04:08:03,708
but we've also reached out to

6785
04:08:03,708 --> 04:08:04,442
them and said how do we go

6786
04:08:04,442 --> 04:08:05,109
through the process of getting

6787
04:08:05,109 --> 04:08:08,213
the measure w dollars so we

6788
04:08:08,213 --> 04:08:08,980
can get that commitment. Those

6789
04:08:08,980 --> 04:08:11,950
are the 2 drive things for our

6790
04:08:11,950 --> 04:08:13,551
time. Okay. So issue is which

6791
04:08:13,551 --> 04:08:14,420
we got the 2 met 1 million,

6792
04:08:14,420 --> 04:08:17,420
200,000. We got That was in

6793
04:08:18,623 --> 04:08:19,924
the budget. Money's there. It

6794
04:08:19,924 --> 04:08:21,726
got to commit from the county

6795
04:08:21,726 --> 04:08:22,794
had a relationship with the

6796
04:08:22,794 --> 04:08:24,429
county, the state and now

6797
04:08:24,429 --> 04:08:25,130
everybody before I became

6798
04:08:25,130 --> 04:08:25,830
councilmember, he already sat

6799
04:08:25,830 --> 04:08:26,564
down have a meeting with you

6800
04:08:26,564 --> 04:08:27,333
guys. The money is there. He's

6801
04:08:27,333 --> 04:08:29,701
ready to go matter of fact. He

6802
04:08:29,701 --> 04:08:30,401
was going to do. They were

6803
04:08:30,401 --> 04:08:34,100
going to do his own building

6804
04:08:34,706 --> 04:08:35,375
and use that parking lot. For

6805
04:08:35,375 --> 04:08:36,750
my relationship. But I told

6806
04:08:36,750 --> 04:08:39,243
him I didn't want to cause. I

6807
04:08:39,243 --> 04:08:41,280
don't want what happened to

6808
04:08:41,280 --> 04:08:42,181
7.11 happened over the on his

6809
04:08:42,181 --> 04:08:43,281
watch are on their watch

6810
04:08:43,281 --> 04:08:43,948
because it's ridiculous. What

6811
04:08:43,948 --> 04:08:44,916
happened if the public goes

6812
04:08:44,916 --> 04:08:47,518
out there see what happened to

6813
04:08:47,518 --> 04:08:50,255
that that led to some bears,

6814
04:08:50,255 --> 04:08:52,655
Jon Jones, this embarrassing.

6815
04:08:55,270 --> 04:08:56,294
So what I'm saying is This

6816
04:08:56,294 --> 04:08:57,195
don't wait, this get it done

6817
04:08:57,195 --> 04:08:57,996
because we need it anyway

6818
04:08:57,996 --> 04:08:59,331
because we got all these other

6819
04:08:59,331 --> 04:09:00,398
lots to need to be done. We

6820
04:09:00,398 --> 04:09:02,333
have won the chivalry d right

6821
04:09:02,333 --> 04:09:05,333
now. It's already been there.

6822
04:09:06,304 --> 04:09:07,273
It's just been destroyed. And

6823
04:09:07,273 --> 04:09:08,172
with my relationship with Jim

6824
04:09:08,172 --> 04:09:09,707
more, he already gave it. He's

6825
04:09:09,707 --> 04:09:12,707
you said is under bid.

6826
04:09:13,845 --> 04:09:14,512
Understand he doing it for me.

6827
04:09:14,512 --> 04:09:17,682
Yeah, I you know how much I

6828
04:09:17,682 --> 04:09:18,383
need this for my community,

6829
04:09:18,383 --> 04:09:19,840
right? So what he's done, all

6830
04:09:19,840 --> 04:09:21,686
of the other say parking. So

6831
04:09:21,686 --> 04:09:22,722
she's qualified right? So I

6832
04:09:22,722 --> 04:09:25,256
want to get this, Roland, I

6833
04:09:25,256 --> 04:09:26,324
want to get this moving

6834
04:09:26,324 --> 04:09:29,924
because like I said, it's been

6835
04:09:29,994 --> 04:09:31,960
already 3 months since 4.14 26

6836
04:09:31,960 --> 04:09:32,196
when we passed the encampment

6837
04:09:32,196 --> 04:09:34,320
abatement policy, it was 6

6838
04:09:34,320 --> 04:09:35,301
months prior to that when I

6839
04:09:35,301 --> 04:09:37,702
started so 7 days is going to

6840
04:09:37,702 --> 04:09:39,700
be 7.14, s going to 3 months.

6841
04:09:39,700 --> 04:09:39,805
So I want some commitment. I

6842
04:09:39,805 --> 04:09:41,940
hear you. PRESIDENT Icu moving

6843
04:09:41,940 --> 04:09:42,674
that might so now so that

6844
04:09:42,674 --> 04:09:46,274
there's a couple of things you

6845
04:09:46,978 --> 04:09:48,112
can do. You can do resolution,

6846
04:09:48,112 --> 04:09:49,914
but you can work with the

6847
04:09:49,914 --> 04:09:50,615
administration to have been

6848
04:09:50,615 --> 04:09:51,316
comeback for allocation We do

6849
04:09:51,316 --> 04:09:54,916
urge and like they always do

6850
04:09:58,656 --> 04:10:00,592
to us. Can I So you have my

6851
04:10:00,592 --> 04:10:01,292
commitment. I work with you

6852
04:10:01,292 --> 04:10:03,662
get that property addressed,

6853
04:10:03,662 --> 04:10:07,650
ok? So the next question? Is

6854
04:10:07,650 --> 04:10:10,650
that spoke her. A council

6855
04:10:10,768 --> 04:10:12,737
member. Spoke a council member

6856
04:10:12,737 --> 04:10:13,572
2.90 They said they wanted

6857
04:10:13,572 --> 04:10:14,339
some. They wanted to be

6858
04:10:14,339 --> 04:10:15,808
included, too, because and

6859
04:10:15,808 --> 04:10:17,808
that's reasonable. Understand.

6860
04:10:18,176 --> 04:10:21,176
I want to know what.

6861
04:10:21,412 --> 04:10:22,114
Properties in their district

6862
04:10:22,114 --> 04:10:24,949
that we can use art to all of

6863
04:10:24,949 --> 04:10:27,352
districts that we can use

6864
04:10:27,352 --> 04:10:29,520
edges. My district That's what

6865
04:10:29,520 --> 04:10:32,520
he looking put them. And

6866
04:10:33,892 --> 04:10:35,827
that's not fair. It's not

6867
04:10:35,827 --> 04:10:36,495
there. So I want to I want

6868
04:10:36,495 --> 04:10:39,330
disperse us across all the

6869
04:10:39,330 --> 04:10:41,967
council members right? So so

6870
04:10:41,967 --> 04:10:44,360
so where could they be placed?

6871
04:10:44,360 --> 04:10:45,536
That's what the land inventory

6872
04:10:45,536 --> 04:10:46,404
is. So we've identified across

6873
04:10:46,404 --> 04:10:48,804
the entire city, including

6874
04:10:50,108 --> 04:10:51,143
some of the impediments to get

6875
04:10:51,143 --> 04:10:52,443
land bill double. That's what

6876
04:10:52,443 --> 04:10:55,480
this analysis that you have in

6877
04:10:55,480 --> 04:10:56,348
front of. You actually

6878
04:10:56,348 --> 04:10:58,348
identifies from county

6879
04:10:59,510 --> 04:10:59,718
district ones through 7 for

6880
04:10:59,718 --> 04:11:01,686
city-owned property, ok? So

6881
04:11:01,686 --> 04:11:04,860
last question on statement,

6882
04:11:05,823 --> 04:11:06,557
the one 73rd Amtrak. That to

6883
04:11:06,557 --> 04:11:09,557
cure that probably for about 9

6884
04:11:09,795 --> 04:11:12,697
years kept it free from

6885
04:11:12,697 --> 04:11:14,697
Encampments and everything.

6886
04:11:14,832 --> 04:11:16,602
That part of that is

6887
04:11:16,602 --> 04:11:17,635
contaminated. But part of

6888
04:11:17,635 --> 04:11:19,300
could be kept to it could be

6889
04:11:19,300 --> 04:11:19,637
capped. And we have

6890
04:11:19,637 --> 04:11:22,370
contractors we just gave

6891
04:11:23,207 --> 04:11:24,376
before mean dollar contract to

6892
04:11:24,376 --> 04:11:25,760
our Jim Aquinas. We gave him

6893
04:11:25,760 --> 04:11:28,547
some money. Let them do some

6894
04:11:28,547 --> 04:11:30,548
in kind workforce right? So

6895
04:11:30,548 --> 04:11:31,683
kept that and put that on

6896
04:11:31,683 --> 04:11:34,519
there because willing to do

6897
04:11:34,519 --> 04:11:35,821
that in my district even to

6898
04:11:35,821 --> 04:11:36,422
help out Councilmember Kevin

6899
04:11:36,422 --> 04:11:37,550
Jenkins because working

6900
04:11:37,550 --> 04:11:37,722
together cause we got all

6901
04:11:37,722 --> 04:11:38,389
these encampments in these

6902
04:11:38,389 --> 04:11:40,925
rv's, the need to be pulled

6903
04:11:40,925 --> 04:11:41,526
off the street in the last We

6904
04:11:41,526 --> 04:11:44,430
just don't want to keep

6905
04:11:44,430 --> 04:11:45,960
pushing them around. See,

6906
04:11:45,960 --> 04:11:45,763
that's the problem we keep

6907
04:11:45,763 --> 04:11:48,163
pushing them here, pushing

6908
04:11:48,466 --> 04:11:49,801
them and pushing there. We

6909
04:11:49,801 --> 04:11:51,235
don't want to do that. We want

6910
04:11:51,235 --> 04:11:51,937
to actually place And this is

6911
04:11:51,937 --> 04:11:53,606
my last question is going to

6912
04:11:53,606 --> 04:11:54,539
be for Marie. And when we

6913
04:11:54,539 --> 04:11:56,939
start closing down these

6914
04:12:01,412 --> 04:12:02,847
encampments return. Has to

6915
04:12:02,847 --> 04:12:04,916
stop. I had to remove 2

6916
04:12:04,916 --> 04:12:07,316
PRESIDENT Councilmember Fi. I

6917
04:12:10,121 --> 04:12:11,890
had to move to comics boxes

6918
04:12:11,890 --> 04:12:12,590
out of Elmhurst, Elmer's

6919
04:12:12,590 --> 04:12:14,659
Tennis Court and another one

6920
04:12:14,659 --> 04:12:16,161
at another part that they

6921
04:12:16,161 --> 04:12:19,761
closed down and had we can't 4

6922
04:12:20,632 --> 04:12:22,268
times. So city money wasted

6923
04:12:22,268 --> 04:12:24,270
that I had to remove that

6924
04:12:24,270 --> 04:12:26,571
myself. So that doesn't come

6925
04:12:26,571 --> 04:12:28,274
back. How can we stop those

6926
04:12:28,274 --> 04:12:29,700
kind of the firm as the

6927
04:12:29,700 --> 04:12:29,708
morning when he gets up. But I

6928
04:12:29,708 --> 04:12:33,311
got a lot more to say when it

6929
04:12:33,311 --> 04:12:35,380
comes to this stuff yet to to

6930
04:12:35,380 --> 04:12:37,215
questions through the chair.

6931
04:12:37,215 --> 04:12:38,160
You know, I'd like to say 0.

6932
04:12:38,160 --> 04:12:39,885
Plus, they're illegal 0. All

6933
04:12:39,885 --> 04:12:41,654
of this is a function of a

6934
04:12:41,654 --> 04:12:44,560
budget so we can do anything

6935
04:12:44,560 --> 04:12:46,240
with money. The difficulty is

6936
04:12:46,240 --> 04:12:47,250
going to be how do we sustain

6937
04:12:47,250 --> 04:12:47,792
how we get people to the next

6938
04:12:47,792 --> 04:12:49,728
spot knowing that there's a

6939
04:12:49,728 --> 04:12:51,620
lack of affordable housing to

6940
04:12:51,620 --> 04:12:51,663
get them to that throughput.

6941
04:12:51,663 --> 04:12:53,431
So we're looking at the

6942
04:12:53,431 --> 04:12:54,999
opportunities and we're moving

6943
04:12:54,999 --> 04:12:55,633
forward affirmatively. But I

6944
04:12:55,633 --> 04:12:57,936
think there's a practical

6945
04:12:57,936 --> 04:12:58,603
reality that we have. Seen

6946
04:12:58,603 --> 04:13:01,603
even at that 7.11 spot that

6947
04:13:02,440 --> 04:13:03,775
you and I went to, looking at,

6948
04:13:03,775 --> 04:13:04,777
you know, getting up to speed,

6949
04:13:04,777 --> 04:13:05,778
getting it up to a position

6950
04:13:05,778 --> 04:13:07,746
that we can put vehicles in

6951
04:13:07,746 --> 04:13:09,482
the budget that was produced

6952
04:13:09,482 --> 04:13:12,520
is well under the budget that

6953
04:13:12,520 --> 04:13:12,717
we need. Even at 1.2 million

6954
04:13:12,717 --> 04:13:15,717
dollars, the budget that we

6955
04:13:16,121 --> 04:13:16,721
need exceeds that the numbers

6956
04:13:16,721 --> 04:13:17,355
you are using were from

6957
04:13:17,355 --> 04:13:18,489
several years ago when I

6958
04:13:18,489 --> 04:13:20,692
looked at the documents that

6959
04:13:20,692 --> 04:13:21,794
you provide. So what we're

6960
04:13:21,794 --> 04:13:22,660
doing is we're moving

6961
04:13:22,660 --> 04:13:24,463
affirmatively. We're trying to

6962
04:13:24,463 --> 04:13:25,965
see if Measure w has the

6963
04:13:25,965 --> 04:13:27,832
money, but we've also applied

6964
04:13:27,832 --> 04:13:29,500
for encampment resolution

6965
04:13:29,500 --> 04:13:30,235
funding across several

6966
04:13:30,235 --> 04:13:30,902
districts because we're taking

6967
04:13:30,902 --> 04:13:33,271
the biggest that we can get

6968
04:13:33,271 --> 04:13:33,939
the dollars into our pockets.

6969
04:13:33,939 --> 04:13:35,106
So so last question on that

6970
04:13:35,106 --> 04:13:38,106
statement to the chair, we've

6971
04:13:39,978 --> 04:13:40,613
got to start somewhere

6972
04:13:40,613 --> 04:13:41,245
somewhere is the Arby's.

6973
04:13:41,245 --> 04:13:43,645
That's the somewhere. Now

6974
04:13:44,215 --> 04:13:45,500
bring up that that binder. So

6975
04:13:45,500 --> 04:13:46,250
we know through all the

6976
04:13:46,250 --> 04:13:48,650
districts to all the

6977
04:13:49,621 --> 04:13:50,322
districts, how many rv's you

6978
04:13:50,322 --> 04:13:51,290
gotten to shoot? 1, 2, 3, 4,

6979
04:13:51,290 --> 04:13:53,290
5, 6, 7, were already counted

6980
04:13:56,928 --> 04:13:57,896
him out. I'm gonna find here.

6981
04:13:57,896 --> 04:13:59,964
I've got a budget we give you

6982
04:13:59,964 --> 04:14:01,990
we know world are. These are

6983
04:14:01,990 --> 04:14:01,766
my mcs. He's already did it

6984
04:14:01,766 --> 04:14:04,236
right. So the work has been

6985
04:14:04,236 --> 04:14:05,203
done. We do work. Put in work.

6986
04:14:05,203 --> 04:14:08,206
I take job series now, like I

6987
04:14:08,206 --> 04:14:08,907
said before, I was like is

6988
04:14:08,907 --> 04:14:12,611
going to be a breeze. This is

6989
04:14:12,611 --> 04:14:15,460
not a breeze. So I'm taking

6990
04:14:15,460 --> 04:14:15,713
this serious. I have all the

6991
04:14:15,713 --> 04:14:17,316
rv's do a lot of districts

6992
04:14:17,316 --> 04:14:18,116
where we are with the markings

6993
04:14:18,116 --> 04:14:19,884
on Whatever. They don't have a

6994
04:14:19,884 --> 04:14:22,860
license plate or I am csc's

6995
04:14:22,860 --> 04:14:23,321
did we want to start here? We

6996
04:14:23,321 --> 04:14:25,924
want to get the rv's off the

6997
04:14:25,924 --> 04:14:28,324
street, our sidewalks on

6998
04:14:29,994 --> 04:14:30,696
blocked. So are our kids, our

6999
04:14:30,696 --> 04:14:32,531
seniors to walk safely start

7000
04:14:32,531 --> 04:14:34,566
somewhere and the start with

7001
04:14:34,566 --> 04:14:35,668
7, 1, 1, 70st Avenue. Thank

7002
04:14:35,668 --> 04:14:37,668
you. Councilmember Houston.

7003
04:14:44,750 --> 04:14:44,810
Appreciate that. Council

7004
04:14:44,810 --> 04:14:48,410
member Brown and then we'll go

7005
04:14:49,810 --> 04:14:51,249
to public comment. So I want

7006
04:14:51,249 --> 04:14:51,916
first start off just by really

7007
04:14:51,916 --> 04:14:53,885
thanking you. Keep it in in

7008
04:14:53,885 --> 04:14:55,253
team, everyone that you named

7009
04:14:55,253 --> 04:14:57,550
at the beginning of your

7010
04:14:57,550 --> 04:14:57,890
presentation for such a

7011
04:14:57,890 --> 04:14:59,857
comprehensive report on

7012
04:14:59,857 --> 04:15:03,227
because I know that in years

7013
04:15:03,227 --> 04:15:04,529
past prior bodies have asked

7014
04:15:04,529 --> 04:15:06,998
for a document listing like,

7015
04:15:06,998 --> 04:15:07,733
hey, some of these properties.

7016
04:15:07,733 --> 04:15:10,201
And I remember recently having

7017
04:15:10,201 --> 04:15:11,503
a look at the listen and the

7018
04:15:11,503 --> 04:15:12,236
only way that it was divided

7019
04:15:12,236 --> 04:15:15,836
up was just like addresses and

7020
04:15:15,907 --> 04:15:16,541
what district was in right?

7021
04:15:16,541 --> 04:15:17,310
Nothing more than an even

7022
04:15:17,310 --> 04:15:18,420
think that the report said,

7023
04:15:18,420 --> 04:15:20,212
oh, you know, there's this

7024
04:15:20,212 --> 04:15:21,114
many properties and only 4 of

7025
04:15:21,114 --> 04:15:22,982
them are able to be used,

7026
04:15:22,982 --> 04:15:24,549
right? It was very short and

7027
04:15:24,549 --> 04:15:28,860
sweet. And as I would really

7028
04:15:28,860 --> 04:15:29,188
dive into this report on, I

7029
04:15:29,188 --> 04:15:31,289
can't help but express like my

7030
04:15:31,289 --> 04:15:34,289
gratitude for the amount of

7031
04:15:34,892 --> 04:15:35,593
work that really put into that

7032
04:15:35,593 --> 04:15:38,593
was put into really outlining

7033
04:15:39,864 --> 04:15:41,432
a clear picture for all of us

7034
04:15:41,432 --> 04:15:42,800
about the the available uses,

7035
04:15:42,800 --> 04:15:43,535
the different different

7036
04:15:43,535 --> 04:15:45,737
different districts. And then

7037
04:15:45,737 --> 04:15:46,372
as well as you know, what's

7038
04:15:46,372 --> 04:15:48,373
going what's happening on

7039
04:15:48,373 --> 04:15:49,307
these prom parties right? So

7040
04:15:49,307 --> 04:15:52,443
that we can get a really clear

7041
04:15:52,443 --> 04:15:54,612
picture. And so similar to the

7042
04:15:54,612 --> 04:15:56,612
passion that Councilmember

7043
04:15:56,648 --> 04:15:57,916
Houston is bringing to this

7044
04:15:57,916 --> 04:16:00,652
item. It really is clear that

7045
04:16:00,652 --> 04:16:01,553
we have a tangible road map.

7046
04:16:01,553 --> 04:16:02,221
But I think that the other

7047
04:16:02,221 --> 04:16:04,123
point that you really make

7048
04:16:04,123 --> 04:16:06,658
clear is that, you know, it's

7049
04:16:06,658 --> 04:16:09,280
one thing to allocate 1.2

7050
04:16:09,280 --> 04:16:11,263
million. But what does that

7051
04:16:11,263 --> 04:16:13,332
look like on an annual basis

7052
04:16:13,332 --> 04:16:15,367
continue this programming? And

7053
04:16:15,367 --> 04:16:16,340
so I'm hopeful that with some

7054
04:16:16,340 --> 04:16:17,770
of the allocations that the

7055
04:16:17,770 --> 04:16:18,736
governor just made, that will

7056
04:16:18,736 --> 04:16:22,407
be able to make some some key

7057
04:16:22,407 --> 04:16:23,742
investment. So that as the I

7058
04:16:23,742 --> 04:16:24,375
think you're supposed to be

7059
04:16:24,375 --> 04:16:27,375
presenting on both of the

7060
04:16:27,746 --> 04:16:28,413
items in the report because

7061
04:16:28,413 --> 04:16:30,481
that some of the questions

7062
04:16:30,481 --> 04:16:31,517
that I have was around like

7063
04:16:31,517 --> 04:16:32,617
encampment closures. And I

7064
04:16:32,617 --> 04:16:35,617
think that the report doesn't

7065
04:16:37,823 --> 04:16:38,656
speak to I think like 52

7066
04:16:38,656 --> 04:16:41,593
closures. But, you know, my

7067
04:16:41,593 --> 04:16:43,730
outstanding question is you

7068
04:16:43,730 --> 04:16:45,129
know, of those that were

7069
04:16:45,129 --> 04:16:47,800
close, how many of them just

7070
04:16:47,800 --> 04:16:48,933
moved across the street,

7071
04:16:48,933 --> 04:16:51,350
right? And so that continues

7072
04:16:51,350 --> 04:16:53,271
to emphasize in full size. The

7073
04:16:53,271 --> 04:16:53,973
need of making sure that we

7074
04:16:53,973 --> 04:16:56,973
are creating safe places for

7075
04:16:57,776 --> 04:16:59,100
people to go to park to just

7076
04:16:59,100 --> 04:16:59,712
be house and so on. But all in

7077
04:16:59,712 --> 04:17:01,680
all, I'm just really grateful

7078
04:17:01,680 --> 04:17:02,347
for your leadership. And thank

7079
04:17:02,347 --> 04:17:04,830
you so much for guiding us

7080
04:17:04,830 --> 04:17:06,850
through this process. Thank

7081
04:17:06,850 --> 04:17:06,684
you. Councilmember Brown.

7082
04:17:06,684 --> 04:17:09,684
Let's go to the public

7083
04:17:13,791 --> 04:17:15,159
speakers. As a car in as

7084
04:17:15,159 --> 04:17:18,159
opposed to putting order. The

7085
04:17:18,497 --> 04:17:19,330
council is taking items. 5.4

7086
04:17:19,330 --> 04:17:19,999
5.5 together we uphold your

7087
04:17:19,999 --> 04:17:22,334
cards and put them together

7088
04:17:22,334 --> 04:17:24,269

7090
04:17:24,969 --> 04:17:29,169
you sign up for both, you get

7091
04:17:29,374 --> 04:17:31,774

you're on zoom, if you're in

7100
04:17:46,570 --> 04:17:49,657
the room, the steps of the

7101
04:17:51,396 --> 04:17:52,164
podium. Thank you all. Due

7102
04:17:52,164 --> 04:17:54,564
respect. This report was

7103
04:17:57,802 --> 04:17:59,802
smoking mirrors. Councilmember

7104
04:17:59,904 --> 04:18:03,504
Houston is the only one. Who

7105
04:18:04,575 --> 04:18:06,411
has been. Living in the and

7106
04:18:06,411 --> 04:18:08,790
sheltered. How long was it?

7107
04:18:08,790 --> 04:18:10,790
Councilmember Houston. A

7108
04:18:14,252 --> 04:18:16,821
month. He looked racket. Why

7109
04:18:16,821 --> 04:18:20,926
is it? And we got most of

7110
04:18:20,926 --> 04:18:21,560
sheltered wall. Who are black

7111
04:18:21,560 --> 04:18:24,560
folks. But you want black

7112
04:18:27,700 --> 04:18:28,333
folks in Chinatown. And this.

7113
04:18:28,333 --> 04:18:31,333
It's a black folks large

7114
04:18:33,720 --> 04:18:35,472
today. What's the percentage?

7115
04:18:36,474 --> 04:18:38,874
67% black folks. Not people

7116
04:18:41,879 --> 04:18:42,547
color, black folks. And I

7117
04:18:42,547 --> 04:18:44,947
could share council members

7118
04:18:46,117 --> 04:18:48,517
used passion. But you're

7119
04:18:51,256 --> 04:18:54,250
dragging your feet. Now you

7120
04:18:54,250 --> 04:18:54,726
talked about and you already

7121
04:18:54,726 --> 04:18:58,326
you got it down for what, 30

7122
04:18:58,963 --> 04:19:01,363
down to 5 possible sites.

7123
04:19:03,569 --> 04:19:04,503
That's shameful. Black folks

7124
04:19:04,503 --> 04:19:07,503
is still lingering on the

7125
04:19:15,213 --> 04:19:15,913
street. Gallo. Speak up fall.

7126
04:19:15,913 --> 04:19:19,513
We've said here we go through

7127
04:19:22,787 --> 04:19:25,890
this tired of it. A lot of

7128
04:19:25,890 --> 04:19:27,692
folks in this audience and

7129
04:19:27,692 --> 04:19:30,692
elsewhere are tired of it.

7130
04:19:34,320 --> 04:19:34,700
We're pushed back it a time.

7131
04:19:34,700 --> 04:19:37,100
But everybody else doesn't

7132
04:19:39,237 --> 04:19:41,573
find When it comes just we

7133
04:19:41,573 --> 04:19:44,573
don't have the money. MISS

7134
04:19:54,585 --> 04:19:58,185
Brown. And the thank you, MR.

7135
04:20:09,667 --> 04:20:10,350
Has that your time is up?

7136
04:20:10,350 --> 04:20:12,350
You

7137
04:20:13,104 --> 04:20:14,206
found 5 places, one in

7138
04:20:14,206 --> 04:20:16,606
district 5, one in district 6,

7139
04:20:18,344 --> 04:20:20,440
3 in district 7 feasible. Then

7140
04:20:20,440 --> 04:20:22,815
you have some that identified

7141
04:20:22,815 --> 04:20:26,415
is pending. We give you what

7142
04:20:26,586 --> 04:20:28,986
you call pending 1800 sand

7143
04:20:29,721 --> 04:20:30,356
Pavel Avenue Wise. It pending

7144
04:20:30,356 --> 04:20:31,991
because it's next to the

7145
04:20:31,991 --> 04:20:34,660
school of the Arts and the

7146
04:20:34,660 --> 04:20:37,600
Oakland Ice Sheet center.

7147
04:20:37,762 --> 04:20:38,464
Pending because of it. Now,

7148
04:20:38,464 --> 04:20:40,599
when we had the Lake Merritt,

7149
04:20:40,599 --> 04:20:44,199
tiny homes right next to doing

7150
04:20:44,503 --> 04:20:45,169
school, it wasn't a prop. But

7151
04:20:45,169 --> 04:20:45,837
it's a problem because it's

7152
04:20:45,837 --> 04:20:47,839
next to the Oakland aunts.

7153
04:20:47,839 --> 04:20:49,474
Then you have. Certain

7154
04:20:49,474 --> 04:20:52,474
districts that have never had

7155
04:20:53,911 --> 04:20:56,311
it any encampment outreach.

7156
04:20:57,815 --> 04:20:58,549
Then you got Wang and some of

7157
04:20:58,549 --> 04:20:59,217
these other people. As soon as

7158
04:20:59,217 --> 04:21:01,686
they come in your district,

7159
04:21:01,686 --> 04:21:02,287
you all have a problem. So

7160
04:21:02,287 --> 04:21:04,923
Wang had a problem. She

7161
04:21:04,923 --> 04:21:05,524
brought the proposal. To

7162
04:21:05,524 --> 04:21:07,524
convert the courtyard.

7163
04:21:11,329 --> 04:21:13,729
Marriott. China Town hotel 150

7164
04:21:14,532 --> 04:21:16,302

7165
04:21:16,302 --> 04:21:18,702
for medically fragile unhoused

7166
04:21:19,872 --> 04:21:21,973
people at no cost to the city.

7167
04:21:21,973 --> 04:21:22,607
To these persons who a can of

7168
04:21:22,607 --> 04:21:24,607
chronically ill homeless

7169
04:21:26,678 --> 04:21:27,312
people. She said no. And

7170
04:21:27,312 --> 04:21:28,647
encourage the people that

7171
04:21:28,647 --> 04:21:30,915
brought back away from the

7172
04:21:30,915 --> 04:21:32,518
project because they were

7173
04:21:32,518 --> 04:21:33,551
going to be a threat to the

7174
04:21:33,551 --> 04:21:34,786
Chinatown community. And

7175
04:21:34,786 --> 04:21:35,520
that's what some of y'all

7176
04:21:35,520 --> 04:21:36,255
gonna do when they come in

7177
04:21:36,255 --> 04:21:38,623

04:21:40,593 --> 04:21:41,292
Montclair, when they go in the

7180
04:21:41,292 --> 04:21:43,227
Diamond district, it's going

7181
04:21:43,227 --> 04:21:46,227
to be a problem. Wang

7182
04:21:46,699 --> 04:21:47,432
represents the biggest

7183
04:21:47,432 --> 04:21:49,100
chronically homeless people no

7184
04:21:49,100 --> 04:21:52,601
cost to the city. These people

7185
04:21:53,439 --> 04:21:54,106
want to be a threat. To the

7186
04:21:54,106 --> 04:21:56,506
Chinatown community. Got to

7187
04:22:02,547 --> 04:22:03,615

brought to our rules. I think

7202
04:22:37,415 --> 04:22:38,517
few weeks I'm really nice idea

7203
04:22:38,517 --> 04:22:40,719
by councilperson Houston and

7204
04:22:40,719 --> 04:22:42,321
like a really energy to try to

7205
04:22:42,321 --> 04:22:44,555
sort this out. And it's

7206
04:22:44,555 --> 04:22:47,325
working out. Thank you for the

7207
04:22:47,325 --> 04:22:48,660
words of Councilperson Brown,

7208
04:22:48,660 --> 04:22:51,529
how can we create features for

7209
04:22:51,529 --> 04:22:52,897
this item to come back each

7210
04:22:52,897 --> 04:22:55,533
year? Good luck. And those

7211
04:22:55,533 --> 04:22:57,933
efforts, I think preparing

7212
04:22:58,237 --> 04:22:59,203
them and needed and the locks

7213
04:22:59,203 --> 04:22:59,938
the property was can be an

7214
04:22:59,938 --> 04:23:03,538
item. You can bring to council

7215
04:23:04,543 --> 04:23:05,209
a committee meeting. You know,

7216
04:23:05,209 --> 04:23:07,679
you hear, guess FEBRUARY or

7217
04:23:07,679 --> 04:23:10,716
MARCH or so. And that could be

7218
04:23:10,716 --> 04:23:11,549
a good beginning.

7219
04:23:11,549 --> 04:23:14,386
Organizational prep so we can

7220
04:23:14,386 --> 04:23:17,221
all what to expect. And

7221
04:23:17,221 --> 04:23:18,624
everyone gets ready and good

7222
04:23:18,624 --> 04:23:20,292
oversight. So good with this

7223
04:23:20,292 --> 04:23:20,992
item could be doing really

7224
04:23:20,992 --> 04:23:24,592
nice with This can work out.

7225
04:23:24,762 --> 04:23:27,800
Thank you for it. And I also

7226
04:23:27,800 --> 04:23:28,534
want try to good comment I

7227
04:23:28,534 --> 04:23:31,903
don't know if we'll have time.

7228
04:23:31,903 --> 04:23:34,903
Another point to mention, I'll

7229
04:23:34,973 --> 04:23:36,741
try to make now eu and there

7230
04:23:36,741 --> 04:23:37,942
are a few encampment areas

7231
04:23:37,942 --> 04:23:39,477
we're making some counter

7232
04:23:39,477 --> 04:23:40,440
persons uncomfortable at peaks

7233
04:23:40,440 --> 04:23:42,548
a few months ago. You

7234
04:23:42,548 --> 04:23:43,281
candidly, they mentioned, I

7235
04:23:43,281 --> 04:23:46,317
think we have to come to honor

7236
04:23:46,317 --> 04:23:49,317
the concept the encampment it

7237
04:23:50,321 --> 04:23:51,900
so and what what that does for

7238
04:23:51,900 --> 04:23:51,723
community. It creates a

7239
04:23:51,723 --> 04:23:52,423
community in a space that

7240
04:23:52,423 --> 04:23:53,580
people can trust and we have

7241
04:23:53,580 --> 04:23:56,658
to learn to work with bit

7242
04:23:58,129 --> 04:23:58,830
more. I think how we develop

7243
04:23:58,830 --> 04:23:59,531
our housing come and help put

7244
04:23:59,531 --> 04:24:03,131
a good looking at for. Thank

7245
04:24:03,636 --> 04:24:04,569
you. And a common names.

7246
04:24:04,569 --> 04:24:07,569
Again, just so we're clear

7247
04:24:09,730 --> 04:24:10,174
that this is for items. 5.4

7248
04:24:10,174 --> 04:24:12,777

7262
04:24:52,384 --> 04:24:53,520
Madeline, Stacey, thank you.

7263
04:24:53,520 --> 04:24:54,353
Since we're coming to both

7264
04:24:54,353 --> 04:24:56,353
5.0, 4, 5.5, all the say

7265
04:24:57,356 --> 04:24:59,756
quickly that. While the

7266
04:25:01,260 --> 04:25:03,660
presentation hsa peak. Sorry,

7267
04:25:04,562 --> 04:25:05,197
it's windy. Said that.

7268
04:25:05,197 --> 04:25:07,597
Homelessness would not be

7269
04:25:08,100 --> 04:25:10,500
criminalized. By enacting the

7270
04:25:12,237 --> 04:25:13,572
eap. You are criminalizing

7271
04:25:13,572 --> 04:25:14,439
living in a vehicle which is

7272
04:25:14,439 --> 04:25:16,439
criminalizing. But unless

7273
04:25:17,543 --> 04:25:19,444
months sadly. And I just want

7274
04:25:19,444 --> 04:25:23,440
to point out as well back.

7275
04:25:24,582 --> 04:25:25,216
We're Identifying areas where

7276
04:25:25,216 --> 04:25:26,651
state parking can happen

7277
04:25:26,651 --> 04:25:28,651
because as Councilmember

7278
04:25:29,120 --> 04:25:31,456
Houston pointed out. People

7279
04:25:31,456 --> 04:25:34,580
just get moved back and forth.

7280
04:25:34,580 --> 04:25:34,792
But all around. And they

7281
04:25:34,792 --> 04:25:37,792
really need some place federal

7282
04:25:37,896 --> 04:25:41,399
to go. And while this long,

7283
04:25:41,399 --> 04:25:42,100
lengthy process. Reports we're

7284
04:25:42,100 --> 04:25:43,268
getting and identifying those

7285
04:25:43,268 --> 04:25:45,837
spots are happening after the

7286
04:25:45,837 --> 04:25:49,437
ap. You said many times he

7287
04:25:50,975 --> 04:25:52,611
didn't like being rushed.

7288
04:25:52,611 --> 04:25:55,313
Thank you, MISS Ac your time.

7289
04:25:55,313 --> 04:25:57,515
Was names have been caught at

7290
04:25:57,515 --> 04:25:58,650
this time. Thank you for

7291
04:25:58,650 --> 04:25:59,217
everybody. Spoke on the site

7292
04:25:59,217 --> 04:25:59,817
and we're gonna go to

7293
04:25:59,817 --> 04:26:01,817
councilmember high and

7294
04:26:02,520 --> 04:26:03,154
weighing I did for

7295
04:26:03,154 --> 04:26:05,554
Councilmember one at this

7296
04:26:08,527 --> 04:26:10,895
time. Councilmember on. First

7297
04:26:10,895 --> 04:26:12,631
of thank you so much. This is

7298
04:26:12,631 --> 04:26:13,264
an excellent report. I wanted

7299
04:26:13,264 --> 04:26:16,264
to echo a council member

7300
04:26:18,200 --> 04:26:20,720
Brown's kudos on One thing.

7301
04:26:20,720 --> 04:26:20,773
first of all, one of the

7302
04:26:20,773 --> 04:26:23,174
sites, the District 5 site at

7303
04:26:23,174 --> 04:26:25,109
East 12th 3rd. I just one note

7304
04:26:25,109 --> 04:26:27,512
that's right on the border

7305
04:26:27,512 --> 04:26:28,447
between district 5 in district

7306
04:26:28,447 --> 04:26:31,447
2. I think it's technically in

7307
04:26:31,650 --> 04:26:34,386
district 5. I do support fully

7308
04:26:34,386 --> 04:26:36,522
just moving forward with that

7309
04:26:36,522 --> 04:26:39,290
particular site. On the note

7310
04:26:39,290 --> 04:26:40,225
on just the funding needs, I

7311
04:26:40,225 --> 04:26:43,610
want to give kudos to the

7312
04:26:43,610 --> 04:26:44,963
budget team. I think in total

7313
04:26:44,963 --> 04:26:46,598
there was 1.2 million dollars

7314
04:26:46,598 --> 04:26:48,400
on the interim or in the safe

7315
04:26:48,400 --> 04:26:50,800
parking sites. But 4.2 million

7316
04:26:50,902 --> 04:26:51,603
dollars total allocated to

7317
04:26:51,603 --> 04:26:53,538
interim shelter or interim

7318
04:26:53,538 --> 04:26:56,538
solutions in general. So truly

7319
04:26:56,874 --> 04:26:58,910
kudos to the team. I just want

7320
04:26:58,910 --> 04:27:00,645
to I think next steps is just

7321
04:27:00,645 --> 04:27:03,448
under it to understand. Is

7322
04:27:03,448 --> 04:27:04,617
that enough or do we still

7323
04:27:04,617 --> 04:27:05,416
need to identify additional

7324
04:27:05,416 --> 04:27:07,919
funding sites in order to move

7325
04:27:07,919 --> 04:27:09,220
on the 5 that you identified?

7326
04:27:09,220 --> 04:27:10,890
Yes, I'm here in a couple

7327
04:27:10,890 --> 04:27:11,924
question. I'll have Brandon

7328
04:27:11,924 --> 04:27:13,424
Moriarty speak to the actual

7329
04:27:13,424 --> 04:27:14,930
location and then I think we

7330
04:27:14,930 --> 04:27:17,930
have Shalon Keener who can

7331
04:27:20,732 --> 04:27:22,634
speak to the program. Yeah.

7332
04:27:22,634 --> 04:27:24,836
Brenda Moriarty director real

7333
04:27:24,836 --> 04:27:26,871
estate. I I think you're

7334
04:27:26,871 --> 04:27:28,400
referring to East 12 and 23rd

7335
04:27:28,400 --> 04:27:28,706
site. I heard you saying

7336
04:27:28,706 --> 04:27:29,408
support for that site with

7337
04:27:29,408 --> 04:27:30,642
their question there that you

7338
04:27:30,642 --> 04:27:31,376
want want me to feel on that

7339
04:27:31,376 --> 04:27:33,945
site or is it just the funding

7340
04:27:33,945 --> 04:27:35,945
question? The funding

7341
04:27:39,785 --> 04:27:41,687
question? I have 2 on camera

7342
04:27:41,687 --> 04:27:42,420
here. You might need to repeat

7343
04:27:42,420 --> 04:27:43,870
that question for her. She can

7344
04:27:43,870 --> 04:27:46,687
speak to the funding for to

7345
04:27:53,164 --> 04:27:55,330
chs. News just the so the

7346
04:27:55,330 --> 04:27:56,368
budget team did a fantastic

7347
04:27:56,368 --> 04:27:58,768
job of identifying 4.2 million

7348
04:27:59,837 --> 04:28:00,439
dollars of interest funding

7349
04:28:00,439 --> 04:28:01,372
for interim solutions,

7350
04:28:01,372 --> 04:28:03,372
including 1.2 million dollars

7351
04:28:05,443 --> 04:28:06,377
for safe parking. I just want

7352
04:28:06,377 --> 04:28:09,130
understand. Is that enough to

7353
04:28:09,130 --> 04:28:10,381
fund all of these sites or are

7354
04:28:10,381 --> 04:28:11,820
there additional funding needs

7355
04:28:11,820 --> 04:28:13,986
that remained at least in the

7356
04:28:13,986 --> 04:28:16,121
short term? I under I

7357
04:28:16,121 --> 04:28:17,957
understood as Cupid had

7358
04:28:17,957 --> 04:28:19,257
articulated, there's the need

7359
04:28:19,257 --> 04:28:22,261
to identify that packs the but

7360
04:28:22,261 --> 04:28:23,361
is it enough to get get going?

7361
04:28:23,361 --> 04:28:25,761
As my colleague Councilmember

7362
04:28:27,865 --> 04:28:29,267
Houston had and encouraged. I

7363
04:28:29,267 --> 04:28:31,350
think when you use the term

7364
04:28:31,350 --> 04:28:31,736
get going, it would look like

7365
04:28:31,736 --> 04:28:34,720
starting the program getting

7366
04:28:34,720 --> 04:28:35,840
the provider in place, but it

7367
04:28:35,840 --> 04:28:37,309
wouldn't be enough or to your

7368
04:28:37,309 --> 04:28:39,143
point longevity. But I think

7369
04:28:39,143 --> 04:28:39,877
the funding was for one year.

7370
04:28:39,877 --> 04:28:40,579
So we get folks into the sites

7371
04:28:40,579 --> 04:28:43,983
and we get them started their

7372
04:28:43,983 --> 04:28:44,649
process to permanent housing.

7373
04:28:44,649 --> 04:28:45,718
And what do we do when the

7374
04:28:45,718 --> 04:28:46,351
funding runs out? So it's not

7375
04:28:46,351 --> 04:28:48,320
enough. Be on probably 8

7376
04:28:48,320 --> 04:28:50,720
months, 9 months for one.

7377
04:28:52,157 --> 04:28:53,224
That's to set it up and to do

7378
04:28:53,224 --> 04:28:54,192
all the work with the number

7379
04:28:54,192 --> 04:28:54,826
of clients are looking to

7380
04:28:54,826 --> 04:28:56,610
serve. It is wouldn't be

7381
04:28:56,610 --> 04:28:58,461
anything beyond 8 to 9 months.

7382
04:29:00,320 --> 04:29:00,965
Okay. That's just one site.

7383
04:29:00,965 --> 04:29:02,965
4.2 million dollars. For

7384
04:29:04,670 --> 04:29:05,370
thing. There was 4 point

7385
04:29:05,370 --> 04:29:06,838
correction from wrong budget

7386
04:29:06,838 --> 04:29:07,538
team. But I thought it was up

7387
04:29:07,538 --> 04:29:08,207
4.2 million dollars that were

7388
04:29:08,207 --> 04:29:11,207
was allocated in total for

7389
04:29:12,411 --> 04:29:13,177
interim. One point to just one

7390
04:29:13,177 --> 04:29:16,177
I thought there was additional

7391
04:29:21,420 --> 04:29:22,153
funding from measure q. I know

7392
04:29:22,153 --> 04:29:22,821
point. Okay. Well, never mind.

7393
04:29:22,821 --> 04:29:27,210
I guess we have to find the

7394
04:29:27,191 --> 04:29:29,591
funding that Thank you.

7395
04:29:30,261 --> 04:29:30,995
Councilmember that just really

7396
04:29:30,995 --> 04:29:33,231
quickly. Thank you for this. I

7397
04:29:33,231 --> 04:29:34,799
just want to add meter and

7398
04:29:34,799 --> 04:29:35,500
remind every one of the

7399
04:29:35,500 --> 04:29:36,135
amendment that we made to the

7400
04:29:36,135 --> 04:29:39,135
ap from our District one

7401
04:29:40,805 --> 04:29:41,472
office, which is our desire to

7402
04:29:41,472 --> 04:29:42,173
seek, say parking spots in

7403
04:29:42,173 --> 04:29:43,441
every district, including

7404
04:29:43,441 --> 04:29:47,145
district one. And so I I want

7405
04:29:47,145 --> 04:29:47,880
to ask you to continue looking

7406
04:29:47,880 --> 04:29:48,613
for spots the one where we can

7407
04:29:48,613 --> 04:29:52,213
where we can have safe parking

7408
04:29:52,850 --> 04:29:53,418
spots. Thank you.

7409
04:29:53,418 --> 04:29:54,119
Councilmember under

7410
04:29:54,119 --> 04:29:56,519
councilmember fight that will

7411
04:29:59,223 --> 04:30:00,858
entertain a motion to. I have

7412
04:30:00,858 --> 04:30:03,858
a series of questions because

7413
04:30:06,832 --> 04:30:08,233
every time item comes up.

7414
04:30:08,233 --> 04:30:08,801
Around encampment Management

7415
04:30:08,801 --> 04:30:10,801
Inc, can't encampment

7416
04:30:12,570 --> 04:30:14,439
abatement. I feel like we're

7417
04:30:14,439 --> 04:30:16,839
missing an essential through

7418
04:30:18,309 --> 04:30:19,778
line, which is do we have

7419
04:30:19,778 --> 04:30:22,778
providers that are able to

7420
04:30:23,616 --> 04:30:25,216
address the population

7421
04:30:25,216 --> 04:30:25,917
citywide? Because I know the

7422
04:30:25,917 --> 04:30:27,385
list of providers that we've

7423
04:30:27,385 --> 04:30:30,555
had in my district have been

7424
04:30:30,555 --> 04:30:32,955
less than optimal and

7425
04:30:33,424 --> 04:30:35,260
operating some of the in

7426
04:30:35,260 --> 04:30:37,395
interventions that, you know,

7427
04:30:37,395 --> 04:30:40,310
I stood I've seen challenges,

7428
04:30:40,310 --> 04:30:42,167
press conference, all kinds of

7429
04:30:42,167 --> 04:30:42,900
issues with the providers that

7430
04:30:42,900 --> 04:30:44,670
we Let me just go through the

7431
04:30:44,670 --> 04:30:46,504
list of questions because we

7432
04:30:46,504 --> 04:30:48,904
still have 50,000 items on

7433
04:30:49,974 --> 04:30:51,676
this agenda. So through the

7434
04:30:51,676 --> 04:30:54,146
chair to Cuba, can you speak

7435
04:30:54,146 --> 04:30:54,846
to why staff needed 90 plus

7436
04:30:54,846 --> 04:30:57,715
days since the APRIL passage

7437
04:30:57,715 --> 04:31:00,552
of the eap around the standard

7438
04:31:00,552 --> 04:31:01,452
operating procedures or what?

7439
04:31:01,452 --> 04:31:04,452
What has the 90 days allowed

7440
04:31:05,390 --> 04:31:08,259
you all to do and what can we

7441
04:31:08,259 --> 04:31:09,427
expect now considering that

7442
04:31:09,427 --> 04:31:11,827
this sensitivity maps still

7443
04:31:13,320 --> 04:31:14,265
have to defined and we have

7444
04:31:14,265 --> 04:31:15,800
not identified los sensitivity

7445
04:31:15,800 --> 04:31:18,770
zones for people to know where

7446
04:31:18,770 --> 04:31:19,637
they can go. Yeah. I mean,

7447
04:31:19,637 --> 04:31:21,839
take that and reverse order

7448
04:31:21,839 --> 04:31:23,808
threw the chair to the council

7449
04:31:23,808 --> 04:31:24,709
member. So in the sensitivity

7450
04:31:24,709 --> 04:31:25,411
mapping, I think the biggest

7451
04:31:25,411 --> 04:31:29,214
issue is not going to be the

7452
04:31:29,214 --> 04:31:29,915
highest sensitivity areas, but

7453
04:31:29,915 --> 04:31:31,650
the lowest sensitivity areas

7454
04:31:31,650 --> 04:31:33,719
in the epa ask us to identify

7455
04:31:33,719 --> 04:31:34,987
across all 7 council

7456
04:31:34,987 --> 04:31:36,855
districts, areas that are

7457
04:31:36,855 --> 04:31:38,957
going to be considered low

7458
04:31:38,957 --> 04:31:40,793
sensitivity, some of which

7459
04:31:40,793 --> 04:31:41,492
have very good of the limited

7460
04:31:41,492 --> 04:31:42,600
sensitivity areas and we need

7461
04:31:42,600 --> 04:31:43,895
to come up with that

7462
04:31:43,895 --> 04:31:44,597
framework. So that's what

7463
04:31:44,597 --> 04:31:45,430
we're working through were

7464
04:31:45,430 --> 04:31:46,565
also additionally doing deep

7465
04:31:46,565 --> 04:31:47,365
engagement with the community

7466
04:31:47,365 --> 04:31:49,765
because almost every single

7467
04:31:51,235 --> 04:31:51,936
day I receive 10, 15, 20

7468
04:31:51,936 --> 04:31:53,936
e-mails regarding sensitivity

7469
04:31:55,540 --> 04:31:56,507
areas in the idea of what they

7470
04:31:56,507 --> 04:31:57,209
think the sensitivity areas

7471
04:31:57,209 --> 04:31:59,811
are going to be providing to

7472
04:31:59,811 --> 04:32:00,912
them as a community member. So

7473
04:32:00,912 --> 04:32:03,912
we have low sensitivity, high

7474
04:32:03,982 --> 04:32:05,982
sensitivity priority

7475
04:32:06,500 --> 04:32:07,385
sensitivity areas for the 90

7476
04:32:07,385 --> 04:32:08,860
days in identifying the soapy.

7477
04:32:08,860 --> 04:32:10,421
It was really the changes to

7478
04:32:10,421 --> 04:32:12,624
the s p so that legal

7479
04:32:12,624 --> 04:32:14,624
considerations that alignment

7480
04:32:15,526 --> 04:32:17,429
with. Already existing

7481
04:32:17,429 --> 04:32:19,429
agreements like rally

7482
04:32:19,597 --> 04:32:21,800
settlement and then updating

7483
04:32:21,800 --> 04:32:24,335
all of forms that we give out,

7484
04:32:24,335 --> 04:32:26,371
making sure that they're

7485
04:32:26,371 --> 04:32:27,720
accessible. It's I mean, 90

7486
04:32:27,720 --> 04:32:27,739
days as a practitioner, I was

7487
04:32:27,739 --> 04:32:30,275
like that is really, really

7488
04:32:30,275 --> 04:32:32,176
aggressive. But the team has

7489
04:32:32,176 --> 04:32:35,179
met that charge. So it was 14

7490
04:32:35,179 --> 04:32:36,481
So peas that had to be updated

7491
04:32:36,481 --> 04:32:38,881
and then additionally, there

7492
04:32:39,117 --> 04:32:40,190
was this land vulnerability

7493
04:32:40,190 --> 04:32:41,519
analysis. And then there is

7494
04:32:41,519 --> 04:32:42,553
also an encampment, racial

7495
04:32:42,553 --> 04:32:43,288
equity analysis report that

7496
04:32:43,288 --> 04:32:46,925
will be reported to you all in

7497
04:32:46,925 --> 04:32:47,759
about a year. So what that

7498
04:32:47,759 --> 04:32:49,594
materially means is that we

7499
04:32:49,594 --> 04:32:51,994
have to retrain our

7500
04:32:51,997 --> 04:32:53,831
contractors and our providers

7501
04:32:53,831 --> 04:32:55,767
on the new data that the ap is

7502
04:32:55,767 --> 04:32:57,101
asking us to identify and

7503
04:32:57,101 --> 04:32:59,972
gather and also the creation

7504
04:32:59,972 --> 04:33:00,773
of systems that MAY not exist.

7505
04:33:00,773 --> 04:33:01,540
Dashboards that need to be

7506
04:33:01,540 --> 04:33:03,341
created and what those

7507
04:33:03,341 --> 04:33:05,741
dashboards are going to

7508
04:33:06,345 --> 04:33:06,911
provide. So 90 days in any

7509
04:33:06,911 --> 04:33:07,612
administration was an

7510
04:33:07,612 --> 04:33:08,746
aggressive timeline. But the

7511
04:33:08,746 --> 04:33:11,746
team's minute. Thank you for

7512
04:33:13,510 --> 04:33:13,718
sharing that. So. You kind

7513
04:33:13,718 --> 04:33:15,154
stated a couple things that

7514
04:33:15,154 --> 04:33:18,154
are happening in the long

7515
04:33:19,580 --> 04:33:20,910
term. Well, I don't know. How

7516
04:33:20,910 --> 04:33:20,726
do you to determine or define

7517
04:33:20,726 --> 04:33:21,359
short mid and long-term

7518
04:33:21,359 --> 04:33:23,461
because you said the race

7519
04:33:23,461 --> 04:33:25,960
equity analysis is a year from

7520
04:33:25,960 --> 04:33:28,960
now. Would you consider that

7521
04:33:28,867 --> 04:33:31,300
short-term or long-term? Well,

7522
04:33:31,300 --> 04:33:32,938
I consider it a deliverable of

7523
04:33:32,938 --> 04:33:36,400
the eap. So there is no short

7524
04:33:36,400 --> 04:33:37,108
long-term, we look as

7525
04:33:37,108 --> 04:33:37,809
practitioners. The encampment

7526
04:33:37,809 --> 04:33:38,543
abatement policy is a list of

7527
04:33:38,543 --> 04:33:41,543
requirements that that you all

7528
04:33:42,460 --> 04:33:44,215
have given us as a city to

7529
04:33:44,215 --> 04:33:44,950
produce on behalf of the

7530
04:33:44,950 --> 04:33:45,583
constituents. So that's what

7531
04:33:45,583 --> 04:33:47,983
we're managing in meeting

7532
04:33:49,320 --> 04:33:51,720
expectations of. Swat. Today's

7533
04:33:53,259 --> 04:33:54,360
the 7th. What can what can

7534
04:33:54,360 --> 04:33:56,360
residents, businesses expect

7535
04:33:57,528 --> 04:33:58,229
in 6 days on JULY 13th. So on

7536
04:33:58,229 --> 04:34:00,365
JULY 13th, it allows us to do

7537
04:34:00,365 --> 04:34:03,365
several new things. So the

7538
04:34:04,469 --> 04:34:05,903
California vehicle code into

7539
04:34:05,903 --> 04:34:06,571
the way that we engage with

7540
04:34:06,571 --> 04:34:08,640
Lyft in vehicles. That was

7541
04:34:08,640 --> 04:34:11,610
probably one of the bigger

7542
04:34:11,610 --> 04:34:13,445
changes. The others are soapy

7543
04:34:13,445 --> 04:34:14,145
updates in a way that we

7544
04:34:14,145 --> 04:34:15,146
currently do the work. So you

7545
04:34:15,146 --> 04:34:16,214
will see that we have to make

7546
04:34:16,214 --> 04:34:17,615
sure we're doing the posting

7547
04:34:17,615 --> 04:34:18,316
notices. We do the posting

7548
04:34:18,316 --> 04:34:21,553
notices. You will see that we

7549
04:34:21,553 --> 04:34:23,722
have to have internal ways

7550
04:34:23,722 --> 04:34:24,856
that we communicate with our

7551
04:34:24,856 --> 04:34:27,256
jurisdictional partners in a

7552
04:34:27,325 --> 04:34:28,360
process that they can identify

7553
04:34:28,360 --> 04:34:28,893
poor construction. So we're

7554
04:34:28,893 --> 04:34:31,293
doing the work and

7555
04:34:32,640 --> 04:34:34,166
encouragement of them also

7556
04:34:34,166 --> 04:34:35,401
assist in doing this work so

7557
04:34:35,401 --> 04:34:36,502
that in the ap, it says, hey,

7558
04:34:36,502 --> 04:34:39,171
you're going to be responsible

7559
04:34:39,171 --> 04:34:39,804
for some of these things.

7560
04:34:39,804 --> 04:34:40,506
Those materially are the

7561
04:34:40,506 --> 04:34:41,205
changes. But the biggest one

7562
04:34:41,205 --> 04:34:44,176
is going to be how we engage

7563
04:34:44,176 --> 04:34:47,145
with vehicles. So prime at the

7564
04:34:47,145 --> 04:34:47,779
changes that will see

7565
04:34:47,779 --> 04:34:50,179
beginning JULY 13th like

7566
04:34:50,982 --> 04:34:52,830
looking likely be around the

7567
04:34:52,830 --> 04:34:54,520
vehicle code and how lived in

7568
04:34:54,520 --> 04:34:55,253
vehicles handled by the city.

7569
04:34:55,253 --> 04:34:55,954
That is one of the biggest

7570
04:34:55,954 --> 04:34:58,954
deliverables that we have in

7571
04:35:00,425 --> 04:35:01,559
the s where are they going?

7572
04:35:01,559 --> 04:35:03,695
That's the challenge that

7573
04:35:03,695 --> 04:35:07,295
we're trying to right now as

7574
04:35:07,699 --> 04:35:10,200
we MR. Collins on the Collins

7575
04:35:10,200 --> 04:35:12,103
leads the emt team. We reserve

7576
04:35:12,103 --> 04:35:14,974
spaces for individuals at some

7577
04:35:14,974 --> 04:35:15,640
of our Saint Vincent de Paul

7578
04:35:15,640 --> 04:35:18,276
and Ed at some of the tiny

7579
04:35:18,276 --> 04:35:21,380
homes that we have. But if

7580
04:35:21,380 --> 04:35:22,581
they do not want to go inside,

7581
04:35:22,581 --> 04:35:24,150
chances are if they do not

7582
04:35:24,150 --> 04:35:24,749
have a vehicle, they will be

7583
04:35:24,749 --> 04:35:28,349
in camp somewhere. That is not

7584
04:35:30,188 --> 04:35:31,230
inside. Can you walk me

7585
04:35:31,230 --> 04:35:33,423
through maybe through the

7586
04:35:35,427 --> 04:35:38,329
chair to Amari? Because I have

7587
04:35:38,329 --> 04:35:41,767
I have lots of rv's in my

7588
04:35:41,767 --> 04:35:44,167
district. Some that are.

7589
04:35:44,269 --> 04:35:44,969
Clearly in violation of the

7590
04:35:44,969 --> 04:35:47,969
previous policy that are, you

7591
04:35:49,540 --> 04:35:51,540
know. Really impacting

7592
04:35:52,443 --> 04:35:54,443
schools, churches, businesses,

7593
04:35:54,480 --> 04:35:55,747
walk me through what will

7594
04:35:55,747 --> 04:35:58,747
happen beginning JULY 13th say

7595
04:36:01,120 --> 04:36:01,787
on Mandela Parkway. Good

7596
04:36:01,787 --> 04:36:02,988
evening City councilmembers

7597
04:36:02,988 --> 04:36:03,789
and members of the Mike

7598
04:36:03,789 --> 04:36:06,189
Hollins, deputy chief in

7599
04:36:07,191 --> 04:36:09,191
Office of Homelessness.

7600
04:36:10,280 --> 04:36:11,930
Solutions through the chair to

7601
04:36:11,930 --> 04:36:13,364
Councilmember 5. My experience

7602
04:36:13,364 --> 04:36:14,650
working with incoming

7603
04:36:14,650 --> 04:36:17,650
management team over the last

7604
04:36:18,671 --> 04:36:19,771
5 years is that parking and

7605
04:36:19,771 --> 04:36:20,706
towing enforcement. He's as a

7606
04:36:20,706 --> 04:36:23,106
part of encampment management

7607
04:36:25,610 --> 04:36:27,246
team is just an expansion of

7608
04:36:27,246 --> 04:36:27,845
the existing services that are

7609
04:36:27,845 --> 04:36:30,245
already supposed to be

7610
04:36:31,916 --> 04:36:35,153
provided by dot and opd to tow

7611
04:36:35,153 --> 04:36:37,323
vehicles. So when we put up

7612
04:36:37,323 --> 04:36:38,990
signs hypothetically, let's

7613
04:36:38,990 --> 04:36:40,925
say there's an encampment of

7614
04:36:40,925 --> 04:36:43,762
20 rv's or a stretch rv's and

7615
04:36:43,762 --> 04:36:45,563
we put up those signs.

7616
04:36:45,563 --> 04:36:46,497
Probably half of those rv's

7617
04:36:46,497 --> 04:36:49,497
are going to relocate before

7618
04:36:49,701 --> 04:36:50,435
we can even initiate hose,

7619
04:36:50,435 --> 04:36:54,305
right? So they find a way that

7620
04:36:54,305 --> 04:36:57,305
means to move whether it's

7621
04:36:57,375 --> 04:36:58,543
calling a tow or finding a way

7622
04:36:58,543 --> 04:37:00,511
to get the vehicle operated.

7623
04:37:00,511 --> 04:37:01,212
So that's what we end seeing

7624
04:37:01,212 --> 04:37:04,212
the disbursement of these are

7625
04:37:04,349 --> 04:37:04,883
these across the city and then

7626
04:37:04,883 --> 04:37:06,883
sticking with this,

7627
04:37:10,788 --> 04:37:12,900
hypothetical. Analogy here is

7628
04:37:12,900 --> 04:37:13,192
we might only end up towing in

7629
04:37:13,192 --> 04:37:15,326
theory like between like 5, 7,

7630
04:37:15,326 --> 04:37:18,529
And this has been the case

7631
04:37:18,529 --> 04:37:19,163
when we go out and do towing

7632
04:37:19,163 --> 04:37:21,563
actions and sections like

7633
04:37:25,804 --> 04:37:29,800
that. Okay. Some of the rv's

7634
04:37:29,800 --> 04:37:29,674
will self relocate. Many of

7635
04:37:29,674 --> 04:37:30,843
them do. Many of them will

7636
04:37:30,843 --> 04:37:34,443
relocate to other parts of the

7637
04:37:34,545 --> 04:37:35,247
city. Yes, likely other parts

7638
04:37:35,247 --> 04:37:37,182
of district 3 because that's

7639
04:37:37,182 --> 04:37:38,883
where the majority of rv's

7640
04:37:38,883 --> 04:37:42,483
are. And then some will get

7641
04:37:43,322 --> 04:37:44,689
their vehicles towed. Or end

7642
04:37:44,689 --> 04:37:45,323
up in some of the shelters

7643
04:37:45,323 --> 04:37:48,760
that you've you on on any

7644
04:37:48,760 --> 04:37:50,595
given date, what 10 shelter

7645
04:37:50,595 --> 04:37:52,497
beds. So for incoming

7646
04:37:52,497 --> 04:37:53,332
operations, we hold 5 to 10

7647
04:37:53,332 --> 04:37:55,233
beds which we try to work to

7648
04:37:55,233 --> 04:37:57,603
get. People are frozen. 2

7649
04:37:57,603 --> 04:38:00,720
programs, but the rv's that we

7650
04:38:00,720 --> 04:38:03,720
end up towing are usually

7651
04:38:03,809 --> 04:38:04,876
dilapidated inoperable. People

7652
04:38:04,876 --> 04:38:06,277
surrender them there. You

7653
04:38:06,277 --> 04:38:07,345
can't live in them based on

7654
04:38:07,345 --> 04:38:09,745
their current state in

7655
04:38:11,820 --> 04:38:12,918
condition to use this story

7656
04:38:12,918 --> 04:38:14,620
age has used his prostitution

7657
04:38:14,620 --> 04:38:16,254
is used to store stuff for a

7658
04:38:16,254 --> 04:38:18,222
chop shop, all sorts of other

7659
04:38:18,222 --> 04:38:20,158
toe that that small portion of

7660
04:38:20,158 --> 04:38:23,158
rv's that were towing is

7661
04:38:25,496 --> 04:38:29,960
related to other staff per the

7662
04:38:29,368 --> 04:38:31,369
the Towing Unknown Seas and

7663
04:38:31,369 --> 04:38:33,372
not necessarily someone sense

7664
04:38:33,372 --> 04:38:34,706
living in it to the best of

7665
04:38:34,706 --> 04:38:35,808
our abilities, someone's

7666
04:38:35,808 --> 04:38:36,474
living in We're not trying to

7667
04:38:36,474 --> 04:38:38,209
take someone's rv so we do

7668
04:38:38,209 --> 04:38:41,809
work with them. And who will

7669
04:38:44,750 --> 04:38:45,583
be doing the towing? The well.

7670
04:38:45,583 --> 04:38:47,585
Between the Department of

7671
04:38:47,585 --> 04:38:50,585
Transportation p opd leads. So

7672
04:38:51,255 --> 04:38:53,726
I would say opd. You said it's

7673
04:38:53,726 --> 04:38:54,460
between the 2. Yes, so they

7674
04:38:54,460 --> 04:38:57,460
will negotiate with each other

7675
04:38:58,430 --> 04:39:01,800
on who does what usually if

7676
04:39:01,800 --> 04:39:04,200
it's more complex challenging

7677
04:39:05,690 --> 04:39:05,804
opd, but dot is this PRESIDENT

7678
04:39:05,804 --> 04:39:07,873
And my, you know, though, that

7679
04:39:07,873 --> 04:39:10,873
stolen are stripped out stuff.

7680
04:39:10,942 --> 04:39:11,576
But if it's our be an

7681
04:39:11,576 --> 04:39:13,976
assistant doses. Both opd

7682
04:39:15,580 --> 04:39:17,815
typically leads. Okay. And I I

7683
04:39:17,815 --> 04:39:18,516
my last question is what in

7684
04:39:18,516 --> 04:39:22,116
this policy that we passed in

7685
04:39:23,421 --> 04:39:24,155
APRIL? Or that the council

7686
04:39:24,155 --> 04:39:25,857
passed in APRIL would have

7687
04:39:25,857 --> 04:39:28,494
stood up interventions to be

7688
04:39:28,494 --> 04:39:30,762
prepared for these for

7689
04:39:30,762 --> 04:39:33,762
abatement. Can you repeat that

7690
04:39:35,400 --> 04:39:36,100
one time? Where is it in the

7691
04:39:36,100 --> 04:39:38,100
encampment abatement policies

7692
04:39:38,671 --> 04:39:39,338
that would have led to

7693
04:39:39,338 --> 04:39:41,273
additional interventions so

7694
04:39:41,273 --> 04:39:41,941
that when we do these

7695
04:39:41,941 --> 04:39:43,941
closures, there's somewhere

7696
04:39:45,476 --> 04:39:49,314
for people to be. So if you're

7697
04:39:49,314 --> 04:39:52,314
asking about standing in terms

7698
04:39:52,518 --> 04:39:53,685
typically we're using in their

7699
04:39:53,685 --> 04:39:54,385
city funds or fines to last

7700
04:39:54,385 --> 04:39:57,385
round. My question is, where

7701
04:39:59,591 --> 04:40:00,693
is that in this policy yeah,

7702
04:40:00,693 --> 04:40:01,726
you're speaking to them around

7703
04:40:01,726 --> 04:40:04,195
The process that we have to go

7704
04:40:04,195 --> 04:40:04,897
through is the posting and the

7705
04:40:04,897 --> 04:40:05,597
notification process. That's

7706
04:40:05,597 --> 04:40:07,997
where we identify individuals

7707
04:40:08,934 --> 04:40:10,369
who we say we have some

7708
04:40:10,369 --> 04:40:12,360
shelter availability. Would

7709
04:40:12,360 --> 04:40:12,905
you like to go inside what

7710
04:40:12,905 --> 04:40:13,605
you're speaking to also is

7711
04:40:13,605 --> 04:40:16,500
additionally vehicles go into

7712
04:40:17,109 --> 04:40:18,977
what's called circulation. My

7713
04:40:18,977 --> 04:40:19,644
so And so just for for both of

7714
04:40:19,644 --> 04:40:23,244
you and I'm Nick elected to

7715
04:40:23,715 --> 04:40:25,651
share that. This was an

7716
04:40:25,651 --> 04:40:27,518
aggressive timeline, right? To

7717
04:40:27,518 --> 04:40:28,252
get everything together. And I

7718
04:40:28,252 --> 04:40:31,189
appreciate all the work that's

7719
04:40:31,189 --> 04:40:32,858
gone into trying to address

7720
04:40:32,858 --> 04:40:35,426
this crisis. But my point a

7721
04:40:35,426 --> 04:40:38,426
wait. I'm sorry, Michelle, on.

7722
04:40:38,464 --> 04:40:39,163
Did you want to answer my

7723
04:40:39,163 --> 04:40:39,864
question before I restate it.

7724
04:40:39,864 --> 04:40:41,666
I would love to restated and

7725
04:40:41,666 --> 04:40:43,202
then I can answer. Yes. Okay.

7726
04:40:43,202 --> 04:40:43,901
And it might be more

7727
04:40:43,901 --> 04:40:44,602
appropriate for the author of

7728
04:40:44,602 --> 04:40:48,202
that was that was next. Thank

7729
04:40:49,608 --> 04:40:51,442
you. We'll I mean, she has the

7730
04:40:51,442 --> 04:40:52,310
mike and then we'll go to

7731
04:40:52,310 --> 04:40:54,710
councilmember. He's she wanted

7732
04:40:54,979 --> 04:40:55,647
to restated point that in. And

7733
04:40:55,647 --> 04:40:57,483
will she says she's came to

7734
04:40:57,483 --> 04:40:58,216
the mic. She has an answer. I

7735
04:40:58,216 --> 04:40:59,451
think I think she said she

7736
04:40:59,451 --> 04:41:00,351
wants you to restate the

7737
04:41:00,351 --> 04:41:02,751
question. You please, please

7738
04:41:04,550 --> 04:41:05,230
restate the question. What in

7739
04:41:05,230 --> 04:41:06,258
the in camp where in the

7740
04:41:06,258 --> 04:41:07,920
encampment abatement policy.

7741
04:41:07,920 --> 04:41:10,692
And this is also directed to

7742
04:41:11,229 --> 04:41:13,229
Councilmember Houston. Doesn't

7743
04:41:14,832 --> 04:41:15,534
articulate where people will

7744
04:41:15,534 --> 04:41:18,534
go when these encampments are

7745
04:41:21,500 --> 04:41:23,641
abated. In the ap, it states

7746
04:41:23,641 --> 04:41:26,345
that we have to offer shelter,

7747
04:41:26,345 --> 04:41:27,450
but nowhere in the ap does it

7748
04:41:27,450 --> 04:41:27,712
say we are asking respect to

7749
04:41:27,712 --> 04:41:30,112
that particular land you're

7750
04:41:31,820 --> 04:41:33,251
asking it does not say.

7751
04:41:33,251 --> 04:41:35,870
Councilmember, chair. This is

7752
04:41:35,870 --> 04:41:36,540
exactly why we need to be

7753
04:41:36,540 --> 04:41:37,789
proactive with the measure w

7754
04:41:37,789 --> 04:41:38,456
money. We got 1 billion,

7755
04:41:38,456 --> 04:41:40,856
400 million dollars and we

7756
04:41:41,960 --> 04:41:43,128
could address this 3 months

7757
04:41:43,128 --> 04:41:46,128
ago. High and low sensitivity

7758
04:41:46,999 --> 04:41:48,734
areas. And on top of that see

7759
04:41:48,734 --> 04:41:49,901
a p encampment abatement

7760
04:41:49,901 --> 04:41:50,603
policy is going stop these

7761
04:41:50,603 --> 04:41:52,671
people from coming from other

7762
04:41:52,671 --> 04:41:54,380
cities. Other states coming

7763
04:41:54,380 --> 04:41:58,238
into our city. So if you look

7764
04:42:00,445 --> 04:42:01,113
at it, the individuals that

7765
04:42:01,113 --> 04:42:03,415
that document that we just

7766
04:42:03,415 --> 04:42:07,150
showed you over there, of the

7767
04:42:07,187 --> 04:42:08,620
Arby's that are here. I

7768
04:42:08,620 --> 04:42:11,255
guarantee you not going as Cs

7769
04:42:11,255 --> 04:42:13,759
e half of them aren't even

7770
04:42:13,759 --> 04:42:17,359
from here. So what I'm saying

7771
04:42:17,796 --> 04:42:19,264
is, is this ap was stop the

7772
04:42:19,264 --> 04:42:20,299
influx of people coming into

7773
04:42:20,299 --> 04:42:21,199
our city, taking advantage of

7774
04:42:21,199 --> 04:42:21,900
it because they know this is a

7775
04:42:21,900 --> 04:42:22,200
place where we allowing them

7776
04:42:22,200 --> 04:42:22,386
to c#

7777
04:42:22,386 --> 04:42:22,574
#

7778
04:42:22,574 --> 04:42:23,935
#

7779
04:42:23,935 --> 04:42:26,935
on our sidewalks in to

7780
04:42:28,573 --> 04:42:29,540
actually block our streets. So

7781
04:42:29,540 --> 04:42:31,940
that's why councilmember fight

7782
04:42:33,512 --> 04:42:36,512
that. We needed to engage

7783
04:42:37,916 --> 04:42:39,851
exactly what id id. And when

7784
04:42:39,851 --> 04:42:41,753
idea was I went out to the to

7785
04:42:41,753 --> 04:42:44,153
the county, got their

7786
04:42:44,556 --> 04:42:45,824
commitment that they will put

7787
04:42:45,824 --> 04:42:46,659
the measure w money towards

7788
04:42:46,659 --> 04:42:49,590
that property towards that

7789
04:42:51,298 --> 04:42:52,300
property. But somehow was

7790
04:42:52,300 --> 04:42:56,230
stall. So and then let me just

7791
04:42:57,302 --> 04:42:59,871
share this part, which you? If

7792
04:42:59,871 --> 04:43:03,471
we were more pro active. We

7793
04:43:05,576 --> 04:43:07,246
wouldn't even be here. The or

7794
04:43:07,246 --> 04:43:11,446
how many bids it do we have

7795
04:43:11,683 --> 04:43:12,250
available? We have available.

7796
04:43:12,250 --> 04:43:13,851
So within the system,

7797
04:43:13,851 --> 04:43:14,852
somewhere around 1300 Bates

7798
04:43:14,852 --> 04:43:18,452
contracted to see a test. But

7799
04:43:18,523 --> 04:43:19,224
on a daily basis, we hold 5 to

7800
04:43:19,224 --> 04:43:21,624
10 debates within the system

7801
04:43:21,659 --> 04:43:23,629
just for encampment

7802
04:43:23,629 --> 04:43:26,398
operations. So so one 0nd, I

7803
04:43:26,398 --> 04:43:27,980
want to Councilmember 5 to

7804
04:43:27,980 --> 04:43:30,980
complete because get ready to

7805
04:43:31,470 --> 04:43:32,905
call the question. We have a

7806
04:43:32,905 --> 04:43:33,606
number of other items and

7807
04:43:33,606 --> 04:43:34,907
we're possibly going to have

7808
04:43:34,907 --> 04:43:37,675
to vote to extend this

7809
04:43:37,675 --> 04:43:38,444
meeting. But if we can wrap it

7810
04:43:38,444 --> 04:43:39,450
up shortly, Councilmember

7811
04:43:39,450 --> 04:43:42,450
Fife, did you get your

7812
04:43:42,246 --> 04:43:45,246
question answered? No, I mean,

7813
04:43:49,488 --> 04:43:52,591
at It's clear this is this.

7814
04:43:52,591 --> 04:43:53,225
What we're facing is a macro

7815
04:43:53,225 --> 04:43:53,891
economic problem that the

7816
04:43:53,891 --> 04:43:56,291
city's attempting to solve

7817
04:43:56,862 --> 04:43:58,797
with limited resources.

7818
04:43:58,797 --> 04:44:01,797
Stating is in my deepest

7819
04:44:01,833 --> 04:44:02,533
concern is that district 3, a

7820
04:44:02,533 --> 04:44:04,537
lot of the folks that are

7821
04:44:04,537 --> 04:44:06,305
living on the streets like

7822
04:44:06,305 --> 04:44:09,305
intense, not rv's, look like

7823
04:44:10,477 --> 04:44:12,544
my aunts and uncles and

7824
04:44:12,544 --> 04:44:13,245
there's a reason why that is.

7825
04:44:13,245 --> 04:44:15,213
And so my concern is without

7826
04:44:15,213 --> 04:44:18,117
the reas without the resources

7827
04:44:18,117 --> 04:44:18,751
that we have not received from

7828
04:44:18,751 --> 04:44:19,485
the county. I don't know

7829
04:44:19,485 --> 04:44:22,820
what's going on with measure w

7830
04:44:22,820 --> 04:44:23,522
dollars right now. My point is

7831
04:44:23,522 --> 04:44:26,525
without a place for people to

7832
04:44:26,525 --> 04:44:27,893
a broken record, we're going

7833
04:44:27,893 --> 04:44:28,895
to keep moving people from

7834
04:44:28,895 --> 04:44:32,495
corner to corner. And I want

7835
04:44:33,650 --> 04:44:35,567
answers to that. That's all

7836
04:44:35,567 --> 04:44:37,536
I'm saying because refuse. I

7837
04:44:37,536 --> 04:44:39,203
refuse to give folks false

7838
04:44:39,203 --> 04:44:41,707
hope that somehow what we're

7839
04:44:41,707 --> 04:44:43,643
doing is addressing this

7840
04:44:43,643 --> 04:44:44,376
macroeconomic problem and we

7841
04:44:44,376 --> 04:44:46,445
haven't identified and then to

7842
04:44:46,445 --> 04:44:47,246
say that somehow it's

7843
04:44:47,246 --> 04:44:50,846
something that I did by giving

7844
04:44:51,116 --> 04:44:51,817
the city 90 days to figure out

7845
04:44:51,817 --> 04:44:54,186
what we're going to do about

7846
04:44:54,186 --> 04:44:56,454
past lawsuits. So we don't get

7847
04:44:56,454 --> 04:44:58,223
future lawsuit. We're going to

7848
04:44:58,223 --> 04:44:58,924
tell my businesses and my

7849
04:44:58,924 --> 04:44:59,857
residence is this is what

7850
04:44:59,857 --> 04:45:03,195
we're going to do to solve the

7851
04:45:03,195 --> 04:45:03,862
problem. I'm angry because

7852
04:45:03,862 --> 04:45:05,564
I've stood up interventions

7853
04:45:05,564 --> 04:45:07,964
that haven't worked. I've

7854
04:45:09,435 --> 04:45:11,203
taken over homes that hasn't

7855
04:45:11,203 --> 04:45:13,839
worked. I've done so much and

7856
04:45:13,839 --> 04:45:16,407
we're presenting this like its

7857
04:45:16,407 --> 04:45:20,700
the silver bullet. That is not

7858
04:45:20,212 --> 04:45:22,114
going to change anything. I'm

7859
04:45:22,114 --> 04:45:24,983
sick of this conversation. I'm

7860
04:45:24,983 --> 04:45:27,119
sick of it. Because we're not

7861
04:45:27,119 --> 04:45:30,255
being on this. For months. We

7862
04:45:30,255 --> 04:45:32,250
would have done anything

7863
04:45:32,250 --> 04:45:32,692
different. We were

7864
04:45:32,692 --> 04:45:33,392
jeopardizing money that the

7865
04:45:33,392 --> 04:45:36,392
city of Oakland was supposed

7866
04:45:37,960 --> 04:45:38,129
to have. And meanwhile, black

7867
04:45:38,129 --> 04:45:41,729
folks are still dying on the

7868
04:45:41,833 --> 04:45:43,200
streets. Elders when weekend

7869
04:45:43,200 --> 04:45:45,770
House Pete folks in China to

7870
04:45:45,770 --> 04:45:48,240
work ever. I'm just saying,

7871
04:45:48,240 --> 04:45:50,508
please, can we be honest about

7872
04:45:50,508 --> 04:45:53,120
what we're doing here today?

7873
04:45:53,120 --> 04:45:55,114
Because I will not lie to my

7874
04:45:55,114 --> 04:45:57,514
constituents in West Oakland.

7875
04:45:59,551 --> 04:46:00,219
Who's been pushed around. From

7876
04:46:00,219 --> 04:46:03,322
to where you if you did not

7877
04:46:03,322 --> 04:46:04,230
have mental health issues or

7878
04:46:04,230 --> 04:46:06,125
drug issues before you and on

7879
04:46:06,125 --> 04:46:06,892
the street, you'd answer will

7880
04:46:06,892 --> 04:46:09,127
for being there for any amount

7881
04:46:09,127 --> 04:46:12,310
of time. I've been homeless

7882
04:46:12,310 --> 04:46:15,631
and not doing cosplay. Let me

7883
04:46:20,540 --> 04:46:22,206
get myself together. Homeless.

7884
04:46:22,206 --> 04:46:25,206
Thank you. MISS Maryland. All.

7885
04:46:25,677 --> 04:46:26,377
Thank you. MISS Maryland. So

7886
04:46:26,377 --> 04:46:28,380
all I'm saying is please, can

7887
04:46:28,380 --> 04:46:30,449
we be honest about what we're

7888
04:46:30,449 --> 04:46:32,150
doing and what we have access

7889
04:46:32,150 --> 04:46:34,753
to and if we get to put

7890
04:46:34,753 --> 04:46:37,753
demands on the floor right

7891
04:46:38,424 --> 04:46:40,558
now, I demand the district 3

7892
04:46:40,558 --> 04:46:41,260
be prioritized in terms of

7893
04:46:41,260 --> 04:46:43,929
laps and houses in locations

7894
04:46:43,929 --> 04:46:45,864
for people to go. I demand it

7895
04:46:45,864 --> 04:46:47,231
since. That's what we're doing

7896
04:46:47,231 --> 04:46:50,202
today and telling the county

7897
04:46:50,202 --> 04:46:52,604
what we expect. That is what I

7898
04:46:52,604 --> 04:46:53,639
expect for black people in

7899
04:46:53,639 --> 04:46:57,239
Oakland and of this body. But

7900
04:46:57,508 --> 04:46:58,678
I will not lie. And say that

7901
04:46:58,678 --> 04:46:59,411
somehow what we presented

7902
04:46:59,411 --> 04:47:03,110
today is a solution because it

7903
04:47:05,718 --> 04:47:08,118
is not. Councilmember you,

7904
04:47:09,622 --> 04:47:13,993
sir. A piggy back on it at the

7905
04:47:13,993 --> 04:47:14,827
man too. I demand districts,

7906
04:47:14,827 --> 04:47:15,494
Evans taking care of because

7907
04:47:15,494 --> 04:47:16,795
we've been under privileged

7908
04:47:16,795 --> 04:47:20,298
for so long and maybe share it

7909
04:47:20,298 --> 04:47:21,633
is. The low sensitivity and

7910
04:47:21,633 --> 04:47:24,330
high sensitivity areas. We've

7911
04:47:26,639 --> 04:47:27,906
been asking. Because if we

7912
04:47:27,906 --> 04:47:28,641
don't have a place for him, at

7913
04:47:28,641 --> 04:47:32,841
least we could put them in the

7914
04:47:33,311 --> 04:47:34,346
low sensitivity areas. They

7915
04:47:34,346 --> 04:47:35,470
can't be pushed all around.

7916
04:47:35,470 --> 04:47:35,981
They have a place to go. And

7917
04:47:35,981 --> 04:47:39,581
we've been asking for that. So

7918
04:47:42,254 --> 04:47:42,920
have we got that? It? I threw

7919
04:47:42,920 --> 04:47:45,424
the chair. That is exactly

7920
04:47:45,424 --> 04:47:47,559
what we're working on just

7921
04:47:47,559 --> 04:47:49,610
because of the legalities of

7922
04:47:49,610 --> 04:47:49,962
it. Just a reminder and the

7923
04:47:49,962 --> 04:47:52,362
current mapping from 2020 and

7924
04:47:52,765 --> 04:47:54,660
even in the updated mapping a

7925
04:47:54,660 --> 04:47:56,868
lot of it is high sensitivity

7926
04:47:56,868 --> 04:47:57,503
areas as we identify low

7927
04:47:57,503 --> 04:47:59,371
sensitivity areas. We are

7928
04:47:59,371 --> 04:48:00,139
being intentional and

7929
04:48:00,139 --> 04:48:01,273
thoughtful because we know

7930
04:48:01,273 --> 04:48:03,409
that there's a lot of

7931
04:48:03,409 --> 04:48:04,420
questions on how we decided

7932
04:48:04,420 --> 04:48:06,545
where these new areas are

7933
04:48:06,545 --> 04:48:07,179
going to be. And that is one

7934
04:48:07,179 --> 04:48:10,179
of the things that we're

7935
04:48:11,349 --> 04:48:12,651
working through right now. And

7936
04:48:12,651 --> 04:48:13,351
to chair. Want to make sure

7937
04:48:13,351 --> 04:48:16,351
that this is understood this

7938
04:48:16,654 --> 04:48:20,254
last one that. The areas that

7939
04:48:20,326 --> 04:48:22,194
were closed down prior to the

7940
04:48:22,194 --> 04:48:22,860
ap that I work that out with

7941
04:48:22,860 --> 04:48:25,260
the old city administrator

7942
04:48:25,797 --> 04:48:26,565
that those were high

7943
04:48:26,565 --> 04:48:27,198
sensitivity areas, even though

7944
04:48:27,198 --> 04:48:29,598
they went low sensitivity

7945
04:48:33,400 --> 04:48:34,807
zones because this sign right

7946
04:48:34,807 --> 04:48:36,307
here has been put up so they

7947
04:48:36,307 --> 04:48:36,942
can't come back to that area

7948
04:48:36,942 --> 04:48:39,342
because they were already

7949
04:48:39,578 --> 04:48:40,345
there. Grandpa. 13. So I want

7950
04:48:40,345 --> 04:48:41,130
to make sure that's clear that

7951
04:48:41,130 --> 04:48:43,350
was already worked out with

7952
04:48:43,350 --> 04:48:45,217
the city administrator prior.

7953
04:48:45,217 --> 04:48:45,951
Thank you. Councilmember you

7954
04:48:45,951 --> 04:48:49,551
making a motion to receive and

7955
04:48:52,357 --> 04:48:55,957
filed this report. Is there a

7956
04:49:06,371 --> 04:49:07,171
second? You through the chair,

7957
04:49:07,171 --> 04:49:09,140
the parliamentarian indicated

7958
04:49:09,140 --> 04:49:09,874
that we need to vote on these

7959
04:49:09,874 --> 04:49:12,874
items separately. We do have

7960
04:49:13,846 --> 04:49:16,648
motions for both on item 5.4

7961
04:49:16,648 --> 04:49:17,315
move by a Houston second by

7962
04:49:17,315 --> 04:49:18,316
council to receive and file

7963

Councilmember Brown. I

Councilmember 5. I apologize

7965
04:49:24,557 --> 04:49:26,557

on something we need to see.

7979
04:49:59,425 --> 04:50:00,358
The next time we do it for you

7980

to 5.4 of 5.5 we only see one

7981
04:50:04,228 --> 04:50:04,963
power point. Well, you see

7982
04:50:04,963 --> 04:50:05,663
that the PowerPoint. So how we

7983
04:50:05,663 --> 04:50:08,167

8016
04:51:43,661 --> 04:51:45,296
a period of 6 months. Pursuant

8017
04:51:45,296 --> 04:51:47,696
to California vehicle Code

represent activity persistent

8020
04:51:55,473 --> 04:51:56,175
with sex trafficking. We have

8021
04:51:56,175 --> 04:51:59,775

8022
04:52:01,779 --> 04:52:03,414
item. Get the presentation

8023
04:52:03,414 --> 04:52:05,216
loaded up and I will try to be

8024
04:52:05,216 --> 04:52:08,190
quick. I know that this has

8025
04:52:08,190 --> 04:52:09,954
been a long meeting. Place. 5

8026
04:52:09,954 --> 04:52:12,256
minutes on clock, please

8027
04:52:12,256 --> 04:52:14,250
correct. While we wait for the

8028
04:52:14,250 --> 04:52:15,493
presentation to load up, I

8029
04:52:15,493 --> 04:52:18,493
just want to provide some

8030
04:52:18,930 --> 04:52:20,990
context that it is by state

8031
04:52:20,990 --> 04:52:22,268
law that we are required by

8032
04:52:22,268 --> 04:52:23,534
statute to hold this public

8033
04:52:23,534 --> 04:52:25,303
hearing before this body,

8034
04:52:25,303 --> 04:52:26,104
which is why we're hearing

8035
04:52:26,104 --> 04:52:29,704
this item. I also wanted to

8036
04:52:30,508 --> 04:52:31,442
give thanks to the Oakland

8037
04:52:31,442 --> 04:52:33,842
Police Department are Oakland

8038
04:52:33,878 --> 04:52:35,713
Fire Department ac transit. Of

8039
04:52:35,713 --> 04:52:36,447
course the Department of

8040
04:52:36,447 --> 04:52:38,847
Transportation, a sharp should

8041
04:52:40,151 --> 04:52:40,685
have started with that as well

8042
04:52:40,685 --> 04:52:43,850
as the San Antonio

8043
04:52:43,788 --> 04:52:44,455
Neighborhood Coalition for

8044
04:52:44,455 --> 04:52:47,455
just partnering with us to

8045
04:52:53,164 --> 04:52:54,899
make this happen. So what is

8046
04:52:54,899 --> 04:52:57,100
before us as a body? What I'm

8047
04:52:57,100 --> 04:52:57,902
proposing is essentially a

8048
04:52:57,902 --> 04:52:59,704
what is called the crime

8049
04:52:59,704 --> 04:53:00,805
prevention through

8050
04:53:00,805 --> 04:53:02,805
environmental design. It's

8051
04:53:03,541 --> 04:53:04,242
going to be a temporary

8052
04:53:04,242 --> 04:53:07,242
six-month closure of the 9th

8053
04:53:07,880 --> 04:53:08,546
10009th and 11th avenues to

8054
04:53:08,546 --> 04:53:10,546
essentially restrict access

8055
04:53:11,216 --> 04:53:12,651
from international boulevard.

8056
04:53:12,651 --> 04:53:14,385
You can see in the upper right

8057
04:53:14,385 --> 04:53:15,987
hand corner that it depicts

8058
04:53:15,987 --> 04:53:20,187
that what you can see is the

8059
04:53:20,825 --> 04:53:21,693
behavior of the sex buyers.

8060
04:53:21,693 --> 04:53:23,529
Are the John just essentially

8061
04:53:23,529 --> 04:53:25,496
use international Boulevard as

8062
04:53:25,496 --> 04:53:27,399
the main corridor of the

8063
04:53:27,399 --> 04:53:29,399
marketplace to essentially,

8064
04:53:30,680 --> 04:53:33,680
you Anyways, that I'll just

8065
04:53:34,390 --> 04:53:36,750
leave it at that. And that the

8066
04:53:36,750 --> 04:53:37,977
side streets off of

8067
04:53:37,977 --> 04:53:39,912
International Boulevard are

8068
04:53:39,912 --> 04:53:42,312
used to essentially it's

8069
04:53:42,313 --> 04:53:44,313
initiate these transactions.

8070
04:53:44,450 --> 04:53:45,650
So ultimately the goal here is

8071
04:53:45,650 --> 04:53:47,752
to disrupt flow for this

8072
04:53:47,752 --> 04:53:49,822
behavior by cutting off those

8073
04:53:49,822 --> 04:53:52,222
concealed access points. These

8074
04:53:52,658 --> 04:53:53,858
are areas where in the dark

8075
04:53:53,858 --> 04:53:56,858
it's harder for opd to

8076
04:53:57,428 --> 04:53:59,530
actually do their enforcement

8077
04:53:59,530 --> 04:54:00,566
versus actually focusing the

8078
04:54:00,566 --> 04:54:02,433
enforcement on international

8079
04:54:02,433 --> 04:54:03,101
boulevard where there regular

8080
04:54:03,101 --> 04:54:06,305
patrols as well as the vice

8081
04:54:06,305 --> 04:54:07,972
operations unit. The other

8082
04:54:07,972 --> 04:54:08,707
thing that I did want to

8083
04:54:08,707 --> 04:54:11,707
mention and make clear because

8084
04:54:15,800 --> 04:54:15,780
there's been some recent

8085
04:54:15,780 --> 04:54:16,481
commentary that why would the

8086
04:54:16,481 --> 04:54:18,182
focus on this strategy? This

8087
04:54:18,182 --> 04:54:19,184
is part of a larger multi

8088
04:54:19,184 --> 04:54:21,753
pronged strategy in the human

8089
04:54:21,753 --> 04:54:24,753
trafficking task force that I

8090
04:54:25,240 --> 04:54:25,957
chair the first prong being

8091
04:54:25,957 --> 04:54:26,926
enforcement against the

8092
04:54:26,926 --> 04:54:28,590
traffickers and the Johns as

8093
04:54:28,590 --> 04:54:30,963
well as the business is the

8094
04:54:30,963 --> 04:54:31,663
second being exit services for

8095
04:54:31,663 --> 04:54:32,998
the women and girls. And this

8096
04:54:32,998 --> 04:54:34,600
is one part of that, which is

8097
04:54:34,600 --> 04:54:36,868
this crime prevention through

8098
04:54:36,868 --> 04:54:38,403
environmental design. Since we

8099
04:54:38,403 --> 04:54:41,403
are still seeing the very

8100
04:54:43,175 --> 04:54:46,440
prominent on the blade. I

8101
04:54:46,440 --> 04:54:46,778
admit that even I was

8102
04:54:46,778 --> 04:54:48,980
skeptical about this proposal.

8103
04:54:48,980 --> 04:54:49,682
This actually is a

8104
04:54:49,682 --> 04:54:51,682
community-based proposal that

8105
04:54:52,784 --> 04:54:53,719
came from the San Antonio

8106
04:54:53,719 --> 04:54:55,719
Neighborhood Coalition. But

8107
04:54:56,754 --> 04:54:57,422
they kept on pressing me. And

8108
04:54:57,422 --> 04:54:58,156
I started to look into some

8109
04:54:58,156 --> 04:55:00,925
case studies and I could see

8110
04:55:00,925 --> 04:55:03,329
that actually in Houston where

8111
04:55:03,329 --> 04:55:04,362
they were challenged and not

8112
04:55:04,362 --> 04:55:06,362
having enough police

8113
04:55:08,199 --> 04:55:09,668
department resources that

8114
04:55:09,668 --> 04:55:12,680
using this sept 10 approach

8115
04:55:12,437 --> 04:55:13,605
made transformational changes

8116
04:55:13,605 --> 04:55:14,340
in that area. You can see some

8117
04:55:14,340 --> 04:55:17,940
of the statistics on the right

8118
04:55:18,977 --> 04:55:19,811
here in terms major change in

8119
04:55:19,811 --> 04:55:20,445
terms the human trafficking

8120
04:55:20,445 --> 04:55:22,845
activity on the bissonnet

8121
04:55:24,816 --> 04:55:25,516
track. And ultimately they

8122
04:55:25,516 --> 04:55:26,184
started with a pilot and move

8123
04:55:26,184 --> 04:55:28,584
forward with the permanent

8124
04:55:31,322 --> 04:55:33,570
solution. Finally, I just want

8125
04:55:33,570 --> 04:55:34,292
to note that again, the police

8126
04:55:34,292 --> 04:55:36,692
Department fire department ac

8127
04:55:36,695 --> 04:55:37,929
transit were all consulted on

8128
04:55:37,929 --> 04:55:39,598
this proposal. The other thing

8129
04:55:39,598 --> 04:55:40,231
that I want to know you can

8130
04:55:40,231 --> 04:55:42,734
see here on the left hand

8131
04:55:42,734 --> 04:55:44,702
quarter with the map. That's

8132
04:55:44,702 --> 04:55:47,102
what is incredibly critical

8133
04:55:48,306 --> 04:55:49,700
about this proposal because I

8134
04:55:49,700 --> 04:55:50,842
know there are also concerns

8135
04:55:50,842 --> 04:55:52,310
that this MAY just displace

8136
04:55:52,310 --> 04:55:54,445
the problem. My cool out of

8137
04:55:54,445 --> 04:55:56,845
this is to ultimately

8138
04:55:57,216 --> 04:55:58,249
concentrate the behavior on

8139
04:55:58,249 --> 04:55:59,218
international boulevard that

8140
04:55:59,218 --> 04:56:01,220
way it can actually enhance

8141
04:56:01,220 --> 04:56:02,921
and supplement the enforcement

8142
04:56:02,921 --> 04:56:03,656
operations that, again, given

8143
04:56:03,656 --> 04:56:06,557
the ordinance that we all pass

8144
04:56:06,557 --> 04:56:07,425
to somebody can fund the exit

8145
04:56:07,425 --> 04:56:10,425
services for the women and

8146
04:56:10,995 --> 04:56:11,963
girls. However, if it results

8147
04:56:11,963 --> 04:56:14,799
in in displacement. I want to

8148
04:56:14,799 --> 04:56:15,566
be honest about this is a

8149
04:56:15,566 --> 04:56:18,504
pilot. I'm not sure what the

8150
04:56:18,504 --> 04:56:20,472
the ultimate results will be.

8151
04:56:20,472 --> 04:56:22,874
You'll see that these street

8152
04:56:22,874 --> 04:56:23,541
closures also coincide with

8153
04:56:23,541 --> 04:56:25,941
the elementary school that

8154
04:56:27,211 --> 04:56:30,811
sits there at 9th at East

8155
04:56:30,916 --> 04:56:34,218
15th. The 9th between the same

8156
04:56:34,218 --> 04:56:35,987
streets and so if we close off

8157
04:56:35,987 --> 04:56:36,654
this access, what is really

8158
04:56:36,654 --> 04:56:38,556
important, what I think is

8159
04:56:38,556 --> 04:56:40,458
going to be ultimately a

8160
04:56:40,458 --> 04:56:42,661
benefit is ensuring that

8161
04:56:42,661 --> 04:56:43,695
buyers are not engaging in

8162
04:56:43,695 --> 04:56:45,300
their purchasing activity

8163
04:56:45,300 --> 04:56:45,964
literally right in front of

8164
04:56:45,964 --> 04:56:47,665
the head start the recreation

8165
04:56:47,665 --> 04:56:49,568
center and the elementary

8166
04:56:49,568 --> 04:56:50,635
school and we will be

8167
04:56:50,635 --> 04:56:52,337
evaluating. These were results

8168
04:56:52,337 --> 04:56:53,772
for the 6 month trial period

8169
04:56:53,772 --> 04:56:57,972
and with that, I will take any

8170
04:57:00,411 --> 04:57:01,613
questions. Thank you for that.

8171
04:57:01,613 --> 04:57:02,314
Let's go to the public

8172
04:57:02,314 --> 04:57:05,314
speakers first and then we'll

8173
04:57:11,389 --> 04:57:12,523
have questions after that. As

8179
04:57:21,299 --> 04:57:22,330
easily identify you. You will.

8180
04:57:22,330 --> 04:57:25,330
Because after the in chambers,

04:57:27,405 --> 04:57:29,774
speakers. Palombo I Yemen's

8182
04:57:29,774 --> 04:57:31,476
Jennifer Findlay where man.

8183
04:57:31,476 --> 04:57:35,760
This is at a dollar. Henry

8184
04:57:35,847 --> 04:57:37,847
Grant. Fabian Robinson.

8185
04:57:51,730 --> 04:57:54,730
Michael. Yeah, me. You know,

8186
04:57:54,732 --> 04:57:58,932
thing is and James MR. Has it.

8187
04:58:01,607 --> 04:58:04,700
Sean Sullivan, Brenda Grisham.

8188
04:58:11,650 --> 04:58:14,650
Rebecca Lane. Yeah, me. Jolene

8189
04:58:16,120 --> 04:58:19,120
a day. Maybe. Ronny. Ronny

8190
04:58:19,458 --> 04:58:20,826
game. So you can't really from

8191
04:58:20,826 --> 04:58:23,226
Garfield Elementary. In any

8192
04:58:28,660 --> 04:58:28,967
order. Evening. My name is

8193
04:58:28,967 --> 04:58:31,903
Brenda Grisham and I'm a

8194
04:58:31,903 --> 04:58:32,938
business owner in 17th and

8195
04:58:32,938 --> 04:58:33,938
international. I MAY be the

8196
04:58:33,938 --> 04:58:35,373
only suppose in this, but I'm

8197
04:58:35,373 --> 04:58:36,374
just going to say what I have

8198
04:58:36,374 --> 04:58:38,711
to say concerning those young

8199
04:58:38,711 --> 04:58:39,377
ladies that are out there

8200
04:58:39,377 --> 04:58:41,777
closing off those 3 street

8201
04:58:43,615 --> 04:58:45,850
will. Not only affect the

8202
04:58:45,850 --> 04:58:47,619
businesses, which they keep

8203
04:58:47,619 --> 04:58:48,286
saying, but they could just

8204
04:58:48,286 --> 04:58:48,988
walk across the street into

8205
04:58:48,988 --> 04:58:49,687
the same thing they're doing

8206
04:58:49,687 --> 04:58:53,570
over there. They could go on

8207
04:58:53,570 --> 04:58:55,693
this side of the street and

8208
04:58:55,693 --> 04:58:57,963
the jobs can go a 15 income up

8209
04:58:57,963 --> 04:58:58,663
same street. Now you block off

8210
04:58:58,663 --> 04:59:01,200
license plates and they could

8211
04:59:01,200 --> 04:59:02,767
do the same thing. My concern

8212
04:59:02,767 --> 04:59:03,869
young come pushing down about

8213
04:59:03,869 --> 04:59:07,405
my business and every day I go

8214
04:59:07,405 --> 04:59:08,106
to work, they're out there

8215
04:59:08,106 --> 04:59:09,474
every day. I believe they're

8216
04:59:09,474 --> 04:59:11,477
out there. We've got to do

8217
04:59:11,477 --> 04:59:13,545
something different. The point

8218
04:59:13,545 --> 04:59:16,581
is know girls out kb know

8219
04:59:16,581 --> 04:59:18,316
John's. So we have to figure

8220
04:59:18,316 --> 04:59:19,351
out a way because they

8221
04:59:19,351 --> 04:59:20,218
trafficked. We got lucky

8222
04:59:20,218 --> 04:59:20,952
games. That's a that's a word

8223
04:59:20,952 --> 04:59:21,954
play. They're not all traffic.

8224
04:59:21,954 --> 04:59:23,422
Some of those girls need

8225
04:59:23,422 --> 04:59:24,155
resources. And if you don't go

8226
04:59:24,155 --> 04:59:25,490
and talk to those girls to see

8227
04:59:25,490 --> 04:59:27,392
what resources they need, they

8228
04:59:27,392 --> 04:59:28,126
still won't be there. You

8229
04:59:28,126 --> 04:59:31,126
could arrests 20 jobs, but his

8230
04:59:41,139 --> 04:59:42,340
own. Councilmember Wang, my

8231
04:59:42,340 --> 04:59:43,108
name is Rebecca Lee. I grew up

8232
04:59:43,108 --> 04:59:45,277
in Oakland on the 5th

8233
04:59:45,277 --> 04:59:47,112
generation, Oakland Chinatown,

8234
04:59:47,112 --> 04:59:47,845
family member a legal aid

8235
04:59:47,845 --> 04:59:49,781
attorney in Oakland and all of

8236
04:59:49,781 --> 04:59:50,983
my clients are low income and

8237
04:59:50,983 --> 04:59:53,983
homeless. I'm a resident of

8238
04:59:54,319 --> 04:59:55,553
district 2 in Little Saigon,

8239
04:59:55,553 --> 04:59:57,355
9th Avenue, which is there.

8240
04:59:57,355 --> 04:59:58,857
One of the streets targeted in

8241
04:59:58,857 --> 04:59:59,557
this proposal cutting off my

8242
04:59:59,557 --> 05:00:01,759
neighborhood is not going to

8243
05:00:01,759 --> 05:00:02,360
solve human trafficking. Keep

8244
05:00:02,360 --> 05:00:04,929
your focus on. The exit

8245
05:00:04,929 --> 05:00:05,730
strategy is for the women.

8246
05:00:05,730 --> 05:00:07,665
Asked what the girls need and

8247
05:00:07,665 --> 05:00:09,665
keep their resources

8248
05:00:09,901 --> 05:00:10,535
resourced. This proposals

8249
05:00:10,535 --> 05:00:11,502
aimed at disrupting those

8250
05:00:11,502 --> 05:00:12,905
ladies. But all it's going to

8251
05:00:12,905 --> 05:00:16,505
do is disrupt the many, many

8252
05:00:16,774 --> 05:00:17,342
residents myself included and

8253
05:00:17,342 --> 05:00:19,342
the local businesses,

8254
05:00:20,478 --> 05:00:23,315
including 13. Look at the map,

8255
05:00:23,315 --> 05:00:24,160
13 local automobile shops on

8256
05:00:24,160 --> 05:00:24,716
9th 10009th and 11th Avenue.

8257
05:00:24,716 --> 05:00:26,951
Those businesses need cars to

8258
05:00:26,951 --> 05:00:27,953
be able to drive up to them.

8259
05:00:27,953 --> 05:00:29,188
It's going to drive them to

8260
05:00:29,188 --> 05:00:29,954
bankruptcy and disrupt my

8261
05:00:29,954 --> 05:00:31,824
neighbors and not do anything

8262
05:00:31,824 --> 05:00:33,124
to change or improve the

8263
05:00:33,124 --> 05:00:33,791
circumstances that perpetuate

8264
05:00:33,791 --> 05:00:36,191
human trafficking and push

8265
05:00:36,694 --> 05:00:37,295
into sex work, pushing this

8266
05:00:37,295 --> 05:00:37,996
activity on to another

8267
05:00:37,996 --> 05:00:40,996
neighborhood is not going to

8268
05:00:47,171 --> 05:00:48,700
solve anything. Hi, my name's

8269
05:00:48,700 --> 05:00:48,673
the noted that born and raised

8270
05:00:48,673 --> 05:00:51,276
in Oakland. I lived in San

8271
05:00:51,276 --> 05:00:52,211
Antone, your neighborhood for

8272
05:00:52,211 --> 05:00:56,480
a number of years in a member

8273
05:00:56,480 --> 05:00:56,848
of Saint Anthony's Church. Can

8274
05:00:56,848 --> 05:00:57,582
I ask the question what time

8275
05:00:57,582 --> 05:01:01,182
is the street closure going to

8276
05:01:02,354 --> 05:01:04,354
happen? Commissioner show

8277
05:01:07,927 --> 05:01:09,761
answer after. I belong Santa

8278
05:01:09,761 --> 05:01:11,763
to a new neighborhood

8279
05:01:11,763 --> 05:01:13,632
coalition and we where with

8280
05:01:13,632 --> 05:01:15,633
the help of the city of

8281
05:01:15,633 --> 05:01:16,568
Oakland successful in getting

8282
05:01:16,568 --> 05:01:17,235
sex trafficking off of a

8283
05:01:17,235 --> 05:01:19,637
visit, Chill Street in the

8284
05:01:19,637 --> 05:01:21,472
Senate on your neighborhood

8285
05:01:21,472 --> 05:01:23,808
East 15th. We knew from the

8286
05:01:23,808 --> 05:01:25,310
get-go that if that we were

8287
05:01:25,310 --> 05:01:26,911
successful, it would move

8288
05:01:26,911 --> 05:01:29,911
elsewhere. So now we're back

8289
05:01:30,115 --> 05:01:31,749
with another plan to deal with

8290
05:01:31,749 --> 05:01:34,186
it in a the section of Oakland

8291
05:01:34,186 --> 05:01:34,986
until this body. And I do

8292
05:01:34,986 --> 05:01:37,386
agree with Perry speakers

8293
05:01:37,689 --> 05:01:38,957
until you come up with. Well,

8294
05:01:38,957 --> 05:01:41,359
number one, it does include

8295
05:01:41,359 --> 05:01:41,993
help for the women. But until

8296
05:01:41,993 --> 05:01:44,162
this body comes up with a

8297
05:01:44,162 --> 05:01:45,830
solution for the overall city,

8298
05:01:45,830 --> 05:01:46,464
this is just a Band-Aid, but

8299
05:01:46,464 --> 05:01:49,464
it's a band-aid. I think

8300
05:01:59,711 --> 05:02:00,578
that's needed. My name is

8301
05:02:00,578 --> 05:02:04,178
Michael. I live by 14 and I

8302
05:02:04,482 --> 05:02:05,584
saw a bunch of girls out. He's

8303
05:02:05,584 --> 05:02:06,250
14th on the drive here. I'm

8304
05:02:06,250 --> 05:02:08,586
going to see a bunch more.

8305
05:02:08,586 --> 05:02:11,356
Maybe 40 on the drive back

8306
05:02:11,356 --> 05:02:12,458
one. Is it acceptable? How why

8307
05:02:12,458 --> 05:02:13,910
is it acceptable for a little

8308
05:02:13,910 --> 05:02:15,260
black and brown girls be

8309
05:02:15,260 --> 05:02:18,960
bought, sold and abused on our

8310
05:02:18,960 --> 05:02:19,664
streets in broad daylight.

8311
05:02:19,664 --> 05:02:20,298
This is not a silver bullet,

8312
05:02:20,298 --> 05:02:23,298
but let's be honest with

8313
05:02:23,601 --> 05:02:24,702
ourselves. We're not gonna

8314
05:02:24,702 --> 05:02:25,670
solve the root cause of this

8315
05:02:25,670 --> 05:02:28,670
problem. We're not going to

8316
05:02:29,608 --> 05:02:31,843
help the Johns and the pimps.

8317
05:02:31,843 --> 05:02:33,645
There always will be more

8318
05:02:33,645 --> 05:02:35,313
girls, but this product, but

8319
05:02:35,313 --> 05:02:36,715
the barriers work. That's the

8320
05:02:36,715 --> 05:02:37,816
only solution. That is what so

8321
05:02:37,816 --> 05:02:40,216
far has worked on. 15

8322
05:02:40,819 --> 05:02:42,553
continues to work on his 15th.

8323
05:02:42,553 --> 05:02:44,722
Now, let's Solution, East 14th

8324
05:02:44,722 --> 05:02:45,790
as well. I know the businesses

8325
05:02:45,790 --> 05:02:47,580
will suffer but leaving it as

8326
05:02:47,580 --> 05:02:50,963
it is just makes it worse. Now

8327
05:02:50,963 --> 05:02:51,562
they will suffer a slow death.

8328
05:02:51,562 --> 05:02:52,363
So let's fix mis, use a

8329
05:02:52,363 --> 05:02:53,198
solution that works and let's

8330
05:02:53,198 --> 05:02:56,198
get these various out. And

8331
05:03:01,506 --> 05:03:02,206
this expanded. Thank you. Good

8332
05:03:02,206 --> 05:03:04,606
evening, Council members. My

8333
05:03:06,544 --> 05:03:07,212
name David Cocky. Siva. I work

8334
05:03:07,212 --> 05:03:09,814
at the space. A new center

8335
05:03:09,814 --> 05:03:12,214
were located 2025 East. Well,

8336
05:03:12,517 --> 05:03:14,552
street. I've been there for 46

8337
05:03:14,552 --> 05:03:17,552
years. We have been working

8338
05:03:18,122 --> 05:03:19,240
with many residents small

8339
05:03:19,240 --> 05:03:20,792
businesses to address the

8340
05:03:20,792 --> 05:03:23,192
street level sex trafficking

8341
05:03:24,896 --> 05:03:25,997
for several years. Now. And

8342
05:03:25,997 --> 05:03:29,234
the work on east 15th street

8343
05:03:29,234 --> 05:03:33,434
kind of so that while it's not

8344
05:03:35,306 --> 05:03:38,306
going to solve sex trafficking

8345
05:03:38,711 --> 05:03:40,111
in Oakland. Does do is bring

8346
05:03:40,111 --> 05:03:42,111
immediate, tangible meaning

8347
05:03:43,548 --> 05:03:44,749
for transformative relief to

8348
05:03:44,749 --> 05:03:46,818
the lives of people who live

8349
05:03:46,818 --> 05:03:47,485
in the affected areas. We

8350
05:03:47,485 --> 05:03:50,888
don't know if this pilot is

8351
05:03:50,888 --> 05:03:54,559
going to work, but it is worth

8352
05:03:54,559 --> 05:03:55,193
2. Find out. And if it moves

8353
05:03:55,193 --> 05:03:58,193
to another area, you know

8354
05:04:00,499 --> 05:04:01,166
what? We got to follow it. We

8355
05:04:01,166 --> 05:04:01,766
don't just not do anything

8356
05:04:01,766 --> 05:04:04,766
because if you don't do

8357
05:04:07,705 --> 05:04:10,705
anything. Thank you, sir. Your

8358
05:04:16,414 --> 05:04:19,717
time is that. So the Oakland

8359
05:04:19,717 --> 05:04:21,520
report reviewed this proposal

8360
05:04:21,520 --> 05:04:24,520
and he had 2 major concerns.

8361
05:04:26,224 --> 05:04:27,260
Ones was the costs. And in the

8362
05:04:27,260 --> 05:04:28,793
documentation, Councilmember

8363
05:04:28,793 --> 05:04:30,895
Wang is not specified. How

8364
05:04:30,895 --> 05:04:31,796
much money it's going to be

8365
05:04:31,796 --> 05:04:33,565
involved. Just states that the

8366
05:04:33,565 --> 05:04:34,666
money comes from a source that

8367
05:04:34,666 --> 05:04:37,303
she is. But the exact amount

8368
05:04:37,303 --> 05:04:38,836
of money needed and what

8369
05:04:38,836 --> 05:04:41,836
you'll be provided is not

8370
05:04:41,840 --> 05:04:42,974
there. The other part of what

8371
05:04:42,974 --> 05:04:45,343
it concern in the open report,

8372
05:04:45,343 --> 05:04:48,343
is there no measurable ways

8373
05:04:50,115 --> 05:04:51,583
that you can get? Determine

8374
05:04:51,583 --> 05:04:52,617
results in a positive You

8375
05:04:52,617 --> 05:04:55,617
don't identify how you will

8376
05:04:56,654 --> 05:04:57,322
measure success. I'm going to

8377
05:04:57,322 --> 05:05:00,525
tell you this. You you can

8378
05:05:00,525 --> 05:05:01,859
spend time on this, but I just

8379
05:05:01,859 --> 05:05:04,329
read an article that says that

8380
05:05:04,329 --> 05:05:06,729
California is proposing 8 data

8381
05:05:07,398 --> 05:05:08,670
centers in the Bay Area.

8382
05:05:08,670 --> 05:05:10,467
California is over 300 data

8383
05:05:12,237 --> 05:05:14,600
centers. And cities are taking

8384
05:05:14,600 --> 05:05:14,772
action to stop this. Y'all

8385
05:05:14,772 --> 05:05:15,473
haven't come up with any

8386
05:05:15,473 --> 05:05:19,730
action to stop it coming into

8387
05:05:23,181 --> 05:05:26,781
this city. Thank you. Is all

8388
05:05:38,162 --> 05:05:40,562
about And the plane.

8389
05:05:48,307 --> 05:05:50,307
I'm Anne

8390
05:05:53,244 --> 05:05:53,912
McClain I have a property in

8391
05:05:53,912 --> 05:05:54,579
the San Antonio district of

8392
05:05:54,579 --> 05:05:57,579
been there for more than 25

8393
05:06:01,520 --> 05:06:02,520
years. I just find what my

8394
05:06:02,520 --> 05:06:03,254
concern is is that the traffic

8395
05:06:03,254 --> 05:06:05,724
will return to the San Antonio

8396
05:06:05,724 --> 05:06:08,124
District. I've picked up

8397
05:06:08,960 --> 05:06:11,360
thousands of condoms. I've

8398
05:06:14,399 --> 05:06:15,990
seen women and clad. And the

8399
05:06:15,990 --> 05:06:18,990
problem the the resolution is

8400
05:06:20,204 --> 05:06:21,339
to. Is not to just shove it

8401
05:06:21,339 --> 05:06:22,730
around town. It's just going

8402
05:06:22,730 --> 05:06:24,409
it's going probably come back

8403
05:06:24,409 --> 05:06:26,277
to the San Antonio District.

8404
05:06:26,277 --> 05:06:28,480
You know, it's I don't know

8405
05:06:28,480 --> 05:06:32,800
what the the answer is. I

8406
05:06:32,617 --> 05:06:33,518
worked with Some children from

8407
05:06:33,518 --> 05:06:36,454
Garfield School. One of them

8408
05:06:36,454 --> 05:06:37,221
turned out to be a prostitute.

8409
05:06:37,221 --> 05:06:39,524
I just don't know what the

8410
05:06:39,524 --> 05:06:41,160
answer that I just see this as

8411
05:06:41,160 --> 05:06:44,160
spending money for who knows

8412
05:06:48,320 --> 05:06:50,568
what? Thank you as the plane

8413
05:06:50,568 --> 05:06:51,236
moving to the zone speaker, if

8414
05:06:51,236 --> 05:06:51,970

8415
05:06:51,970 --> 05:06:53,172
Chambers one last time, if you

8416
05:06:53,172 --> 05:06:56,772

05:06:57,275 --> 05:06:58,443
Please oppose the podium.

8418
05:06:58,443 --> 05:06:59,430
Moving to Speaker. MISTER

yourself and begin your

8421
05:07:06,651 --> 05:07:08,621
comments. I fan. This item has

8422
05:07:08,621 --> 05:07:11,621
been to counseling committee a

8423
05:07:12,224 --> 05:07:12,924
few times over the past few

8424
05:07:12,924 --> 05:07:15,660
months. Now. I haven't don't

8425
05:07:15,660 --> 05:07:17,128
have a clue on how better

8426
05:07:17,128 --> 05:07:18,229
understand and work on this

8427
05:07:18,229 --> 05:07:20,165
item. So I've just listening

8428
05:07:20,165 --> 05:07:21,199
and trying to learn really

8429
05:07:21,199 --> 05:07:21,899
good, constructive criticism

8430
05:07:21,899 --> 05:07:23,534
today that I've heard really

8431
05:07:23,534 --> 05:07:27,134
for the first time. But I

8432
05:07:27,572 --> 05:07:28,607
haven't heard in previous

8433
05:07:28,607 --> 05:07:31,700
committee meetings Good luck

8434
05:07:32,810 --> 05:07:34,680
and how to address this I

8435
05:07:34,680 --> 05:07:37,800
guess services are important

8436
05:07:38,817 --> 05:07:39,517
mention Find finding.

8437
05:07:39,517 --> 05:07:41,352
Resources for people that was

8438
05:07:41,352 --> 05:07:44,656
a nice color. How that can

8439
05:07:44,656 --> 05:07:45,323
happen to many of the women.

8440
05:07:45,323 --> 05:07:45,991
You need resources and good

8441
05:07:45,991 --> 05:07:49,591
luck in those sort Thanks a

8442
05:07:54,333 --> 05:07:55,000
lot. Thank you for everybody

8443
05:07:55,000 --> 05:07:58,600
that came to speak on this

8444
05:07:58,736 --> 05:07:59,371
item. You want to take

8445
05:07:59,371 --> 05:08:00,400
comments from the council

8446
05:08:00,400 --> 05:08:00,738
members for city want to

8447
05:08:00,738 --> 05:08:03,738
respond some stuff. That's one

8448
05:08:11,149 --> 05:08:11,884
cent. In terms of the

8449
05:08:11,884 --> 05:08:12,984
implementation timeline in the

8450
05:08:12,984 --> 05:08:15,984
questions around I believe it

8451
05:08:16,155 --> 05:08:16,888
is late summer time period.

8452
05:08:16,888 --> 05:08:20,488
Megan, where are you here with

8453
05:08:29,133 --> 05:08:29,834
us today? Good evening,

8454
05:08:29,834 --> 05:08:30,336
Councilmembers. Megan Wear a

8455
05:08:30,336 --> 05:08:32,336
suit director of

8456
05:08:32,771 --> 05:08:34,807
transportation and we've been

8457
05:08:34,807 --> 05:08:36,241
working with Councilmember

8458
05:08:36,241 --> 05:08:37,760
Wong's discretionary funds to

8459
05:08:37,760 --> 05:08:40,760
procure the barriers. And we

8460
05:08:40,780 --> 05:08:40,913
anticipate them arriving so

8461
05:08:40,913 --> 05:08:44,513
that we can install an early

8462
05:08:47,619 --> 05:08:48,620
fall is our timeline.

8463
05:08:48,620 --> 05:08:51,620
Appreciate that. In general to

8464
05:08:52,558 --> 05:08:54,250
again, I just want to state

8465
05:08:54,250 --> 05:08:56,270
that the exit services for the

8466
05:08:56,270 --> 05:08:58,427
women are incredibly important

8467
05:08:59,230 --> 05:08:59,897
to me with measure. And then

8468
05:08:59,897 --> 05:09:02,897
we actually ensured that we

8469
05:09:03,301 --> 05:09:03,968
have increase. Thanks to the

8470
05:09:03,968 --> 05:09:06,368
anti Human Trafficking task

8471
05:09:08,600 --> 05:09:08,806
force that I chair. Have an

8472
05:09:08,806 --> 05:09:09,541
increase in human trafficking

8473
05:09:09,541 --> 05:09:11,776
resources and services that we

8474
05:09:11,776 --> 05:09:15,976
have not had yet prior. I want

8475
05:09:16,581 --> 05:09:17,249
to make that very clear. And

8476
05:09:17,249 --> 05:09:19,649
actually sense coming into

8477
05:09:20,518 --> 05:09:23,518
office. Thanks. Also to this

8478
05:09:23,589 --> 05:09:26,589
larger body, we added through

8479
05:09:27,660 --> 05:09:30,396
in that first budget cycle,

8480
05:09:30,396 --> 05:09:32,563
special operations for special

8481
05:09:32,563 --> 05:09:33,899
victims operations. We've had

8482
05:09:33,899 --> 05:09:34,966
more arrests of John's in the

8483
05:09:34,966 --> 05:09:36,601
last 4 months since that

8484
05:09:36,601 --> 05:09:38,103
ordinance passed that we all

8485
05:09:38,103 --> 05:09:41,703
passed. Then we had in the

8486
05:09:44,342 --> 05:09:45,576
last 2 prior years and because

8487
05:09:45,576 --> 05:09:47,445
the recent additional. So

8488
05:09:47,445 --> 05:09:48,446
thank you to the to the budget

8489
05:09:48,446 --> 05:09:49,113
chair as well as the members

8490
05:09:49,113 --> 05:09:51,349
of this body for adding in

8491
05:09:51,349 --> 05:09:52,830
that paralegal position. We

8492
05:09:52,830 --> 05:09:55,683
will now ensure that the fines

8493
05:09:55,687 --> 05:09:57,556
that we enact against the

8494
05:09:57,556 --> 05:09:58,289
traffickers and the Johns in

8495
05:09:58,289 --> 05:09:58,991
the business is actually go to

8496
05:09:58,991 --> 05:10:01,793
funding as it as services. So

8497
05:10:01,793 --> 05:10:03,795
I want to be that very clear.

8498
05:10:03,795 --> 05:10:05,631
But still, the problem is

8499
05:10:05,631 --> 05:10:07,366
incredibly prevalent at the

8500
05:10:07,366 --> 05:10:08,660
public safety meeting. We had

8501
05:10:08,660 --> 05:10:11,337
a lot of people from the San

8502
05:10:11,337 --> 05:10:13,337
Antonio Neighborhood Coalition

8503
05:10:14,372 --> 05:10:15,341
come out. This has been a long

8504
05:10:15,341 --> 05:10:16,307
process we've had for

8505
05:10:16,307 --> 05:10:18,307
community engagement meetings

8506
05:10:20,110 --> 05:10:20,745
in the district as well. We

8507
05:10:20,745 --> 05:10:24,345
had a vote. I'd been honest

8508
05:10:24,349 --> 05:10:26,317
also to the community around.

8509
05:10:26,317 --> 05:10:28,319
I don't want to promise the

8510
05:10:28,319 --> 05:10:28,854
moon. I don't think this is

8511
05:10:28,854 --> 05:10:29,587
going to end human

8512
05:10:29,587 --> 05:10:32,891
trafficking, but I think it is

8513
05:10:32,891 --> 05:10:35,891
work trying we've seen in

8514
05:10:36,227 --> 05:10:36,794
Houston how actually in

8515
05:10:36,794 --> 05:10:38,794
environmental design

8516
05:10:39,698 --> 05:10:42,698
approaches when we don't have

8517
05:10:43,569 --> 05:10:45,603
enough police resources. Can

8518
05:10:45,603 --> 05:10:47,390
make really transform

8519
05:10:47,390 --> 05:10:49,390
transformational change. This

8520
05:10:49,275 --> 05:10:50,375
is ultimately my discretionary

8521
05:10:50,375 --> 05:10:52,243
transportation funds. We can't

8522
05:10:52,243 --> 05:10:53,110
be using it on any other

8523
05:10:53,110 --> 05:10:55,380
funding. It has to be for

8524
05:10:55,380 --> 05:10:55,948
transportation projects. And

8525
05:10:55,948 --> 05:10:57,615
so I just I asked my

8526
05:10:57,615 --> 05:11:00,150
colleagues to support this.

8527
05:11:00,652 --> 05:11:02,720
And I'll take any questions.

8528
05:11:02,720 --> 05:11:05,120
Thank you. Councilmember I

8529
05:11:05,523 --> 05:11:06,224
have a policy that is some

8530
05:11:06,224 --> 05:11:07,926
things in someone's district.

8531
05:11:07,926 --> 05:11:08,626
I believe that they know best.

8532
05:11:08,626 --> 05:11:11,626
This is you are discretionary

8533
05:11:14,132 --> 05:11:16,132
funds. Councilmember Houston

8534
05:11:17,350 --> 05:11:20,350
and Jon Jones Wax poetically

8535
05:11:20,139 --> 05:11:20,838
about the brt. The brt has

8536
05:11:20,838 --> 05:11:23,609
been a death trap to

8537
05:11:23,609 --> 05:11:26,900
businesses and people. I'm

8538
05:11:28,881 --> 05:11:31,850
very hesitant. To do anything

8539
05:11:31,850 --> 05:11:33,170
on international Boulevard

8540
05:11:33,170 --> 05:11:33,686
that would disrupt the

8541
05:11:33,686 --> 05:11:36,860
businesses, the people, the

8542
05:11:36,255 --> 05:11:38,255
residents. On International

8543
05:11:42,560 --> 05:11:44,960
Boulevard. Made a excellent

8544
05:11:48,566 --> 05:11:49,734
point. This is people across

8545
05:11:49,734 --> 05:11:52,734
the street says people move

8546
05:11:53,938 --> 05:11:55,390
people down the street. And

8547
05:11:55,390 --> 05:11:55,741
this is one the biggest

8548
05:11:55,741 --> 05:11:58,176
failures that we have in the

8549
05:11:58,176 --> 05:11:58,876
city of Oakland and as

8550
05:11:58,876 --> 05:11:59,544
Councilmember Fife was saying

8551
05:11:59,544 --> 05:12:02,800
earlier, we just need to be

8552
05:12:02,800 --> 05:12:04,480
honest about the conversation

8553
05:12:05,850 --> 05:12:07,285
we have failed by This issue

8554
05:12:07,285 --> 05:12:09,685
was in Councilmember Kyle's

8555
05:12:11,657 --> 05:12:12,290
district and In your

8556
05:12:12,290 --> 05:12:14,250
districts. But we have is

8557
05:12:14,250 --> 05:12:15,940
little girls getting right.

8558
05:12:15,940 --> 05:12:18,620
All right. We have middle

8559
05:12:18,620 --> 05:12:19,300
schoolers out there. We have

8560
05:12:19,300 --> 05:12:20,498
people trying to get by. We

8561
05:12:20,498 --> 05:12:22,898
have people being trafficked.

8562
05:12:23,636 --> 05:12:24,836
We have a high level of

8563
05:12:24,836 --> 05:12:27,605
islands that is in this

8564
05:12:27,605 --> 05:12:28,473
stretch and you have my

8565
05:12:28,473 --> 05:12:29,608
commitment that I will work

8566
05:12:29,608 --> 05:12:31,509
with you. I volunteer my

8567
05:12:31,509 --> 05:12:33,479
office to be part of a task

8568
05:12:33,479 --> 05:12:34,379
force. I'm going to abstain on

8569
05:12:34,379 --> 05:12:37,650
this item because I don't want

8570
05:12:37,650 --> 05:12:38,516
to further to Sweat

8571
05:12:38,516 --> 05:12:39,217
International Boulevard bait.

8572
05:12:39,217 --> 05:12:42,817
You have my commitment that I

8573
05:12:43,288 --> 05:12:45,230
will work with you. Council

8574
05:12:45,230 --> 05:12:45,723
member. Turn your mike on

8575
05:12:45,723 --> 05:12:48,123
council Councilmember Fife. I

8576
05:12:49,528 --> 05:12:51,928
Brown. And then Excellent.

8577
05:12:53,265 --> 05:12:54,532
Thank you so much. So I know

8578
05:12:54,532 --> 05:12:57,235
that we discussed this item in

8579
05:12:57,235 --> 05:12:58,703
public prior. And I just want

8580
05:12:58,703 --> 05:13:00,738
to emphasize that I think we

8581
05:13:00,738 --> 05:13:02,807
all realize that. I mean,

8582
05:13:02,807 --> 05:13:03,441
first off, one of the things I

8583
05:13:03,441 --> 05:13:05,744
mentioned was, you know,

8584
05:13:05,744 --> 05:13:07,178
Councilmember Wang has been

8585
05:13:07,178 --> 05:13:10,178
working so hard with residents

8586
05:13:11,616 --> 05:13:13,451
in the area in advancing

8587
05:13:13,451 --> 05:13:16,155
policies to really try to

8588
05:13:16,155 --> 05:13:16,988
tackle this issue. Head on.

8589
05:13:16,988 --> 05:13:18,723
And so I just really want to

8590
05:13:18,723 --> 05:13:20,925
like, applaud your work on

8591
05:13:20,925 --> 05:13:23,925
this. And as you mentioned,

8592
05:13:24,395 --> 05:13:25,960
that the last 4 months, there

8593
05:13:25,960 --> 05:13:26,998
have been, you know, multiple

8594
05:13:26,998 --> 05:13:27,600
arrests made given that

8595
05:13:27,600 --> 05:13:29,600
legislation right? You

8596
05:13:29,702 --> 05:13:31,636
continue to try to make some

8597
05:13:31,636 --> 05:13:32,737
movement to address the issue.

8598
05:13:32,737 --> 05:13:35,373
And I think more than anything

8599
05:13:35,373 --> 05:13:36,674
I think I think of this as a

8600
05:13:36,674 --> 05:13:40,274
part of this package of things

8601
05:13:41,814 --> 05:13:43,983
that you are trying improve

8602
05:13:43,983 --> 05:13:45,183
the process. And I think the

8603
05:13:45,183 --> 05:13:45,851
legislation states that this

8604
05:13:45,851 --> 05:13:49,530
is a pilot, we're going to

8605
05:13:49,530 --> 05:13:51,289
give it a try. I will say on

8606
05:13:51,289 --> 05:13:52,658
the record that I mean

8607
05:13:52,658 --> 05:13:53,424
everything that some of the

8608
05:13:53,424 --> 05:13:54,930
public speakers mentioned. I

8609
05:13:54,930 --> 05:13:55,260
think during public safety,

8610
05:13:55,260 --> 05:13:56,362
you have more people show up

8611
05:13:56,362 --> 05:13:59,964
in favor. I just want to that.

8612
05:13:59,964 --> 05:14:00,999
I just want to see that out.

8613
05:14:00,999 --> 05:14:02,600
Whereas, you know, maybe

8614
05:14:02,600 --> 05:14:03,301
tonight we're hearing more

8615
05:14:03,301 --> 05:14:06,301
people kind of more skeptical

8616
05:14:08,673 --> 05:14:09,274
on this matter. But ultimately

8617
05:14:09,274 --> 05:14:11,420
it's a pilot. And so it

8618
05:14:11,420 --> 05:14:11,877
doesn't hurt to try. And so I

8619
05:14:11,877 --> 05:14:14,877
look forward to seeing what

8620
05:14:16,181 --> 05:14:17,783
the results will be and then

8621
05:14:17,783 --> 05:14:19,384
my I guess my last question

8622
05:14:19,384 --> 05:14:21,919
just is actually a repeat

8623
05:14:21,919 --> 05:14:23,955
question because I do think

8624
05:14:23,955 --> 05:14:24,623
it's important since the last

8625
05:14:24,623 --> 05:14:25,757
time we kind of engaged on

8626
05:14:25,757 --> 05:14:28,927
this item have have you done

8627
05:14:28,927 --> 05:14:29,861
any outreach to either the

8628
05:14:29,861 --> 05:14:31,730
principal of Franklin

8629
05:14:31,730 --> 05:14:33,298
Elementary School and the

8630
05:14:33,298 --> 05:14:35,801
parents in the area to kind of

8631
05:14:35,801 --> 05:14:38,469
let them know about this

8632
05:14:38,469 --> 05:14:40,869
potential change. Yes, we've

8633
05:14:40,872 --> 05:14:41,706
reached out. We haven't been

8634
05:14:41,706 --> 05:14:43,508
able to have a link to your

8635
05:14:43,508 --> 05:14:45,477
conversation, but we have

8636
05:14:45,477 --> 05:14:46,444
reached out. Yeah, I just

8637
05:14:46,444 --> 05:14:47,412
wanted to say publicly. I do

8638
05:14:47,412 --> 05:14:48,800
think that like that

8639
05:14:48,800 --> 05:14:50,480
engagement would be really

8640
05:14:52,550 --> 05:14:54,585
important because I I think

8641
05:14:54,585 --> 05:14:55,286
you know, parents are dropping

8642
05:14:55,286 --> 05:14:56,387
off their kids. What are what

8643
05:14:56,387 --> 05:14:56,988
are these impacts, right? I

8644
05:14:56,988 --> 05:14:59,457
know we heard about the

8645
05:14:59,457 --> 05:15:00,492
impacts on business. And so

8646
05:15:00,492 --> 05:15:01,860
just making sure everyone gets

8647
05:15:01,860 --> 05:15:02,560
a proper notice of like here's

8648
05:15:02,560 --> 05:15:05,898
this thing that we are where

8649
05:15:05,898 --> 05:15:07,298
you can implement. Absolutely.

8650
05:15:07,298 --> 05:15:08,000
That is one of the top things

8651
05:15:08,000 --> 05:15:10,868
we will do if we move forward

8652
05:15:10,868 --> 05:15:12,300
with this is to work with

8653
05:15:12,300 --> 05:15:13,605
Franklin Elementary on the

8654
05:15:13,605 --> 05:15:14,339
traffic impacts the drop-off

8655
05:15:14,339 --> 05:15:16,574
zones. All of that. That's all

8656
05:15:16,574 --> 05:15:18,944
something we have to consider

8657
05:15:18,944 --> 05:15:19,744
as part of this

8658
05:15:19,744 --> 05:15:20,445
implementation, And so I I

8659
05:15:20,445 --> 05:15:24,450
support a motion to move the

8660
05:15:24,115 --> 05:15:26,515
item. So your second

8661
05:15:28,190 --> 05:15:30,190
councilmember long. Motion.

8662
05:15:31,289 --> 05:15:34,289
Councilmember used. I want to

8663
05:15:35,493 --> 05:15:36,761
do to challenge Thank you.

8664
05:15:36,761 --> 05:15:37,463
Councilmember for having the

8665
05:15:37,463 --> 05:15:39,297
courage. You know, I've been

8666
05:15:39,297 --> 05:15:39,931
here all my life right now.

8667
05:15:39,931 --> 05:15:42,931
Seen it Sampe Hablo, Nice

8668
05:15:44,469 --> 05:15:45,437
14th. In this business right

8669
05:15:45,437 --> 05:15:48,840
here on this diet. See if your

8670
05:15:48,840 --> 05:15:51,277
word is no good and nobody

8671
05:15:51,277 --> 05:15:52,944
trust And when I say that said

8672
05:15:52,944 --> 05:15:53,612
this, because I told you was

8673
05:15:53,612 --> 05:15:54,279
going to stand by. You even

8674
05:15:54,279 --> 05:15:55,460
know I don't believe in it

8675
05:15:55,460 --> 05:15:57,616
because I know about pushing

8676
05:15:57,616 --> 05:15:59,517
it around. It's almost like

8677
05:15:59,517 --> 05:16:01,720
what we're just talking

8678
05:16:01,720 --> 05:16:02,987
Councilmember I was talking

8679
05:16:02,987 --> 05:16:04,689
about pushing people all

8680
05:16:04,689 --> 05:16:05,556
around, right? We do have are

8681
05:16:05,556 --> 05:16:06,257
those sensitivity. Areas and

8682
05:16:06,257 --> 05:16:08,793
high sits here is locked down

8683
05:16:08,793 --> 05:16:10,628
which is pushing them around

8684
05:16:10,628 --> 05:16:11,997
right. So on the stand with

8685
05:16:11,997 --> 05:16:14,660
you because it takes a lot of

8686
05:16:14,660 --> 05:16:17,870
courage to do what you do. It

8687
05:16:17,870 --> 05:16:18,603
and being new. I'm new to do.

8688
05:16:18,603 --> 05:16:20,438
But it takes a lot of courage,

8689
05:16:20,438 --> 05:16:21,105
you know, to do to do. And I

8690
05:16:21,105 --> 05:16:22,174
believe that you believe in

8691
05:16:22,174 --> 05:16:23,541
what you're trying to do and

8692
05:16:23,541 --> 05:16:27,141
you got to do something right.

8693
05:16:27,679 --> 05:16:28,780
And I know we just going to be

8694
05:16:28,780 --> 05:16:29,548
pushed around. But on the

8695
05:16:29,548 --> 05:16:32,116
stand which you ago? Yes on it

8696
05:16:32,116 --> 05:16:33,251
because I told you I was. And

8697
05:16:33,251 --> 05:16:33,986
if it was just me and you love

8698
05:16:33,986 --> 05:16:37,586
stand, which you cause. I said

8699
05:16:39,490 --> 05:16:41,490
would okay. Councilmember 5.

8700
05:16:49,330 --> 05:16:50,636
Michael. You know, I don't

8701
05:16:50,636 --> 05:16:51,669
know. See, this is a problem

8702
05:16:51,669 --> 05:16:53,237
that Oakland has we just talk

8703
05:16:53,237 --> 05:16:55,473
talk, talk a lot and move the

8704
05:16:55,473 --> 05:16:58,473
problem when it comes human

8705
05:16:59,611 --> 05:17:01,120
trafficking, prostitution. The

8706
05:17:01,120 --> 05:17:01,846
say young girls, 14, 15 will

8707
05:17:01,846 --> 05:17:04,846
be jumping out That's not

8708
05:17:08,253 --> 05:17:08,953
allowed We talk a We complain

8709
05:17:08,953 --> 05:17:12,553
a lot but putting barriers on

8710
05:17:12,591 --> 05:17:13,758
the street is not an assault.

8711
05:17:13,758 --> 05:17:14,392
I still remember growing up

8712
05:17:14,392 --> 05:17:17,992
here. We're used to be on

8713
05:17:18,263 --> 05:17:18,931
MacArthur Broadway. And Kaiser

8714
05:17:18,931 --> 05:17:20,498
in them. Kick them on. They

8715
05:17:20,498 --> 05:17:23,498
came to East Oakland. Right

8716
05:17:24,637 --> 05:17:28,140
where I grew up. It was

8717
05:17:28,140 --> 05:17:28,873
barriers and push them on its

8718
05:17:28,873 --> 05:17:31,273
public safety. Law enforcement

8719
05:17:31,777 --> 05:17:32,510
has to get involved. Our

8720
05:17:32,510 --> 05:17:34,679
police department nice to get

8721
05:17:34,679 --> 05:17:38,879
over and take care of it. You

8722
05:17:40,451 --> 05:17:41,119
go in the day. 10 o'clock, 12

8723
05:17:41,119 --> 05:17:42,854
known 02:00pm 10 o'clock at

8724
05:17:42,854 --> 05:17:45,723
Night. You see 16 girls out

8725
05:17:45,723 --> 05:17:48,393
there. They're in the middle

8726
05:17:48,393 --> 05:17:51,993
of the street. They're on the

8727
05:17:53,665 --> 05:17:54,732
sidewalk. And then you've got

8728
05:17:54,732 --> 05:17:55,466
the pimps of the Johnson

8729
05:17:55,466 --> 05:17:56,634
salting people that live there

8730
05:17:56,634 --> 05:17:58,360
and try to work there.

8731
05:17:58,360 --> 05:18:00,360
Including the mechanics,

8732
05:18:00,538 --> 05:18:04,138
Wyatt, one of the friends that

8733
05:18:04,143 --> 05:18:04,843
that I know that helps repair

8734
05:18:04,843 --> 05:18:07,111
cars. Well, a dip common with

8735
05:18:07,111 --> 05:18:07,812
a gun and assaulted him

8736
05:18:07,812 --> 05:18:08,547
because he was trying to make

8737
05:18:08,547 --> 05:18:10,249
sure that they're not in front

8738
05:18:10,249 --> 05:18:13,249
of his business. But worse.

8739
05:18:17,555 --> 05:18:18,656
The police department. We're a

8740
05:18:18,656 --> 05:18:19,357
Since we care so much for our

8741
05:18:19,357 --> 05:18:22,357
daughters went to protect our

8742
05:18:24,530 --> 05:18:25,229
daughters. And yet. We're

8743
05:18:25,229 --> 05:18:27,629
sitting talking about putting

8744
05:18:27,899 --> 05:18:29,767
barriers. And public safety

8745
05:18:29,767 --> 05:18:31,936
should be the number one

8746
05:18:31,936 --> 05:18:33,638
priority. And I'll give you

8747
05:18:33,638 --> 05:18:34,306
yeah. There were in my

8748
05:18:34,306 --> 05:18:37,306
district. But you know, who

8749
05:18:39,100 --> 05:18:39,744
got a mind of most fbi? The

8750
05:18:39,744 --> 05:18:40,445
cfp. I didn't play with you Ms

8751
05:18:40,445 --> 05:18:44,450
when you look picking up you

8752
05:18:44,248 --> 05:18:45,170
away. But then a couple of our

8753
05:18:45,170 --> 05:18:46,952
officers got involved with the

8754
05:18:46,952 --> 05:18:48,553
girls doing probably, you

8755
05:18:48,553 --> 05:18:50,953
know, didn't have a

8756
05:18:51,256 --> 05:18:53,656
trafficking opd, pulled out.

8757
05:18:55,261 --> 05:18:56,161
We all know the story and I

8758
05:18:56,161 --> 05:18:56,894
know who what and who the

8759
05:18:56,894 --> 05:18:58,229
girls who or what happened and

8760
05:18:58,229 --> 05:19:01,829
who it happened to. So the

8761
05:19:02,734 --> 05:19:05,203
bottom line. That's in, this

8762
05:19:05,203 --> 05:19:06,437
should be an action of the

8763
05:19:06,437 --> 05:19:08,306
police department that I'm

8764
05:19:08,306 --> 05:19:09,475
paying their salaries for

8765
05:19:09,475 --> 05:19:12,475
safety to protect my children

8766
05:19:12,811 --> 05:19:16,411
and families. And we need to

8767
05:19:17,483 --> 05:19:18,182
demand their action. And at

8768
05:19:18,182 --> 05:19:20,852
the same time they can bring

8769
05:19:20,852 --> 05:19:22,687
in the cooperation with other

8770
05:19:22,687 --> 05:19:24,550
law enforcement that are

8771
05:19:24,550 --> 05:19:24,689
sitting the sheriff's

8772
05:19:24,689 --> 05:19:27,890
department is worth east.

8773
05:19:29,328 --> 05:19:32,328
Well. 2, 3 blocks away, but I

8774
05:19:33,131 --> 05:19:35,670
just shared this with you.

8775
05:19:35,670 --> 05:19:36,902
Because the girls being flown

8776
05:19:36,902 --> 05:19:39,902
flown flying into the Oakland

8777
05:19:40,710 --> 05:19:42,107
Airport at one time, there

8778
05:19:42,107 --> 05:19:43,908
will be flying into the open

8779
05:19:43,908 --> 05:19:44,609
air poured taking on the

8780
05:19:44,609 --> 05:19:46,111
street, do their job and they

8781
05:19:46,111 --> 05:19:49,711
were fly back out. But the

8782
05:19:50,349 --> 05:19:51,820
recent mass stop this gives

8783
05:19:51,820 --> 05:19:53,482
sheriff's department took over

8784
05:19:54,385 --> 05:19:55,860
the airport. You go to the

8785
05:19:55,860 --> 05:19:57,622
airport. You see sheriffs all

8786
05:19:57,622 --> 05:19:59,257
day a loan. And that stopped

8787
05:19:59,257 --> 05:20:02,857
the girls from coming in being

8788
05:20:03,929 --> 05:20:04,562
driven to Oakland, but we need

8789
05:20:04,562 --> 05:20:07,562
to get our Oakland Police

8790
05:20:09,667 --> 05:20:10,369
Department. To cite. To take

8791
05:20:10,369 --> 05:20:11,302
care of that because the I've

8792
05:20:11,302 --> 05:20:13,471
written with the police at 5

8793
05:20:13,471 --> 05:20:14,540
in the morning see the pimps

8794
05:20:14,540 --> 05:20:17,309
and you know, and as soon as

8795
05:20:17,309 --> 05:20:19,243
the picking them up, these

8796
05:20:19,243 --> 05:20:20,913
guys are going to work with

8797
05:20:20,913 --> 05:20:21,646
the pickup trucks at 5 in the

8798
05:20:21,646 --> 05:20:22,347
morning. 6 begin up. The girls

8799
05:20:22,347 --> 05:20:25,947
doing their thing then to go

8800
05:20:26,284 --> 05:20:27,785
to war. And and they're highly

8801
05:20:27,785 --> 05:20:30,723
visible. Should be cited or

8802
05:20:30,723 --> 05:20:31,323
arrested, but we can't keep

8803
05:20:31,323 --> 05:20:32,156
when it comes to public

8804
05:20:32,156 --> 05:20:33,891
safety. We just can't keep

8805
05:20:33,891 --> 05:20:36,891
playing around the issue where

8806
05:20:38,162 --> 05:20:39,431
there's dealing with that. The

8807
05:20:39,431 --> 05:20:40,833
homelessness. Well, as dealing

8808
05:20:40,833 --> 05:20:41,566
that activity cause good

8809
05:20:41,566 --> 05:20:45,166
Oakland, you can get away with

8810
05:20:46,104 --> 05:20:46,738
whatever want to do. And so I

8811
05:20:46,738 --> 05:20:49,138
would recommend that the

8812
05:20:50,408 --> 05:20:52,808
barriers. I would recommend

8813
05:20:53,145 --> 05:20:56,414
that we make it an order to

8814
05:20:56,414 --> 05:20:57,490
the police chief to make sure

8815
05:20:57,490 --> 05:20:57,749
that is their daily and

8816
05:20:57,749 --> 05:21:00,749
nightly with this officers to

8817
05:21:01,353 --> 05:21:02,253
make sure that the young girl

8818
05:21:02,253 --> 05:21:02,854
so not violated and that the

8819
05:21:02,854 --> 05:21:04,390
neighbors and not being

8820
05:21:04,390 --> 05:21:07,390
impacted. That's what we need

8821
05:21:10,361 --> 05:21:11,195
to do. But creating Barry case

8822
05:21:11,195 --> 05:21:14,795
come just going to go down

8823
05:21:15,534 --> 05:21:18,369
hysteria. My area in. Doing

8824
05:21:18,369 --> 05:21:19,103
any with site. I love to share

8825
05:21:19,103 --> 05:21:22,206
your routes. Another I do this

8826
05:21:22,206 --> 05:21:22,840
every that on make excuses for

8827
05:21:22,840 --> 05:21:25,240
people violating my young

8828
05:21:26,277 --> 05:21:28,746
daughter so much for him. I

8829
05:21:28,746 --> 05:21:30,181
don't disagree that I we need

8830
05:21:30,181 --> 05:21:30,915
help from enforce men like

8831
05:21:30,915 --> 05:21:33,751
bodies outside of opd as well.

8832
05:21:33,751 --> 05:21:34,419
But I need your help. I

8833
05:21:34,419 --> 05:21:36,870
actually need your help. I

8834
05:21:36,870 --> 05:21:37,389
have already gone to the

8835
05:21:37,389 --> 05:21:40,389
sheriff. I've gone to fbi.

8836
05:21:40,825 --> 05:21:42,527
I've gone to chp. None of

8837
05:21:42,527 --> 05:21:45,527
those bodies are willing to

8838
05:21:45,863 --> 05:21:46,564
help me when I go to them. So

8839
05:21:46,564 --> 05:21:49,564
I need my colleagues support.

8840
05:21:50,134 --> 05:21:54,334
I really do. So. I'll just say

8841
05:21:54,405 --> 05:21:56,208
at to read you. And say this

8842
05:21:56,208 --> 05:21:58,176
with measure. And then coupled

8843
05:21:58,176 --> 05:22:01,176
with the amendment that we.

8844
05:22:02,380 --> 05:22:03,470
Included is a body. The

8845
05:22:03,470 --> 05:22:03,681
enforcement operations are

8846
05:22:03,681 --> 05:22:06,551
going up to 2 times. They

8847
05:22:06,551 --> 05:22:09,870
should be going up to 2 times

8848
05:22:09,870 --> 05:22:12,957
a week with and it's. I hope

8849
05:22:12,957 --> 05:22:13,925
that makes a difference. But

8850
05:22:13,925 --> 05:22:14,892
it it's still the prom is

8851
05:22:14,892 --> 05:22:15,594
incredibly prevalent and it is

8852
05:22:15,594 --> 05:22:19,194
a moral shame is everyone has

8853
05:22:20,320 --> 05:22:22,320
noted. Thank Councilmember

8854
05:22:22,600 --> 05:22:24,636
Fife, just really quickly.

8855
05:22:24,636 --> 05:22:25,236
Said I concur with that

8856
05:22:25,236 --> 05:22:27,636
position of the council

8857
05:22:29,141 --> 05:22:32,741
PRESIDENT And I trying not to

8858
05:22:32,811 --> 05:22:33,479
get involved council members

8859
05:22:33,479 --> 05:22:34,212
district when particularly

8860
05:22:34,212 --> 05:22:37,212
when they're using their funds

8861
05:22:37,449 --> 05:22:38,616
for a project and they are

8862
05:22:38,616 --> 05:22:40,152
engaged with the businesses

8863
05:22:40,152 --> 05:22:40,885
and residents in their

8864
05:22:40,885 --> 05:22:43,885
jurisdiction. I will state for

8865
05:22:46,791 --> 05:22:49,294
the record that. I don't see

8866
05:22:49,294 --> 05:22:51,229
that this is a solution, but I

8867
05:22:51,229 --> 05:22:51,897
do respect the work

8868
05:22:51,897 --> 05:22:53,766
Councilmember, one that you

8869
05:22:53,766 --> 05:22:56,766
put into trying to find

8870
05:22:58,236 --> 05:22:59,304
solutions. So I will support

8871
05:22:59,304 --> 05:23:01,239
this pilot. But again, I came

8872
05:23:01,239 --> 05:23:01,973
in on the tail end of the

8873
05:23:01,973 --> 05:23:03,341
organizing for the brt saw was

8874
05:23:03,341 --> 05:23:04,900
a part of that process and saw

8875
05:23:04,900 --> 05:23:06,409
the impact, the negative

8876
05:23:07,579 --> 05:23:08,279
impact that that had on the

8877
05:23:08,279 --> 05:23:11,490
businesses on East 14th. I'm

8878
05:23:11,490 --> 05:23:15,249
not gonna say say East 14th. I

8879
05:23:16,654 --> 05:23:18,790
was I worked on East 14th for

8880
05:23:18,790 --> 05:23:22,428
years and my very first day as

8881
05:23:22,428 --> 05:23:26,280
the director for Ace Action. I

8882
05:23:26,632 --> 05:23:27,665
broke up a knife fight. That

8883
05:23:27,665 --> 05:23:29,367
started on my window. I just

8884
05:23:29,367 --> 05:23:31,402
heard a bunch of banging on

8885
05:23:31,402 --> 05:23:33,304
the window and it was an

8886
05:23:33,304 --> 05:23:35,506
individual, a man who had not

8887
05:23:35,506 --> 05:23:38,843
paid this woman for the acts

8888
05:23:38,843 --> 05:23:39,544
that she provided for him. I

8889
05:23:39,544 --> 05:23:42,544
saw I saw incidents happening

8890
05:23:43,181 --> 05:23:44,283
every day. And my staff was

8891
05:23:44,283 --> 05:23:45,450
like, don't go out there,

8892
05:23:45,450 --> 05:23:46,218
don't get involved. And I'm

8893
05:23:46,218 --> 05:23:46,918
like, no, it's that this were

8894
05:23:46,918 --> 05:23:50,518
at work. Ewing will be doing

8895
05:23:51,222 --> 05:23:51,923
is where I work. I saw her

8896
05:23:51,923 --> 05:23:53,625
break down like I don't want

8897
05:23:53,625 --> 05:23:55,893
to be here. This is about I

8898
05:23:55,893 --> 05:23:58,293
pater. Because he didn't

8899
05:24:02,467 --> 05:24:04,602
operator. So. I understand the

8900
05:24:04,602 --> 05:24:05,304
severity of the issue. And i

8901
05:24:05,304 --> 05:24:05,970
believe that that conditions

8902
05:24:05,970 --> 05:24:07,373
are going to get worse with

8903
05:24:07,373 --> 05:24:09,800
the economic conditions that

8904
05:24:09,800 --> 05:24:09,707
are happening with low income

8905
05:24:09,707 --> 05:24:12,477
folks, losing access to jobs,

8906
05:24:12,477 --> 05:24:14,877
losing access to welfare

8907
05:24:15,380 --> 05:24:16,800
benefits. So if this pilot

8908
05:24:16,800 --> 05:24:17,383
that you're you're proposing,

8909
05:24:17,383 --> 05:24:19,783
has any potential benefit,

8910
05:24:21,919 --> 05:24:22,620
then wonderful. I'm a little

8911
05:24:22,620 --> 05:24:25,524
jilted at this point is that

8912
05:24:25,524 --> 05:24:28,524

to just comment by the around

8919
05:24:40,571 --> 05:24:42,707
the brt line. So that has come

8920
05:24:42,707 --> 05:24:44,760

8921
05:24:44,760 --> 05:24:46,476
process to to council

PRESIDENT Jenkyns. Ac transit

8923
05:24:49,949 --> 05:24:50,849
was engaged in this process.

8924
05:24:50,849 --> 05:24:52,885
They weighed in on which

8925
05:24:52,885 --> 05:24:53,451
intersections would be least

8926
05:24:53,451 --> 05:24:55,851
disruptive to the brt

8927
05:25:02,260 --> 05:25:02,594
operations. I met a clerk.

8928
05:25:02,594 --> 05:25:04,295
There is a motion by

8929
05:25:04,295 --> 05:25:05,264

hearing and adopt the

8934
05:25:11,369 --> 05:25:12,700
resolution. Because we still

8935
05:25:12,700 --> 05:25:14,470

8936
05:25:15,340 --> 05:25:17,740

Planning manager for the

05:28:46,651 --> 05:28:48,651
Councilmember under believe

you have an amendment. I do

8995
05:28:54,827 --> 05:28:56,295
have an amendment top. Put on

8996
05:28:56,295 --> 05:28:57,290
the screen. Passed out copies

8997
05:28:57,290 --> 05:28:57,730
to all the council members and

8998
05:28:57,730 --> 05:28:58,631
there's some up on the table

8999
05:28:58,631 --> 05:29:01,631
up front there. If anyone

9000
05:29:03,935 --> 05:29:05,904
wants to see it. This not to

9001
05:29:05,904 --> 05:29:08,207
the atu bit, which where the

9002
05:29:08,207 --> 05:29:09,108
majority of this is that just

9003
05:29:09,108 --> 05:29:13,245
a small piece that I want to

9004
05:29:13,245 --> 05:29:15,981
pull out of the legislation.

9005
05:29:15,981 --> 05:29:16,615
It's need a little bit more

9006
05:29:16,615 --> 05:29:17,616
consideration. It's about

9007
05:29:17,616 --> 05:29:20,616
nonconforming use is when had

9008
05:29:21,353 --> 05:29:23,389
some problems where somebody

9009
05:29:23,389 --> 05:29:24,156
loses a tenant and then they

9010
05:29:24,156 --> 05:29:24,856
unable to continue to use the

9011
05:29:24,856 --> 05:29:27,925
property in the way that they

9012
05:29:27,925 --> 05:29:28,928
had for industrial uses. We

9013
05:29:28,928 --> 05:29:29,561
want be able to make it clear

9014
05:29:29,561 --> 05:29:31,664
that if they're actively

9015
05:29:31,664 --> 05:29:34,664
trying to market that that

9016
05:29:34,934 --> 05:29:35,667
property, they won't the right

9017
05:29:35,667 --> 05:29:38,670
to continue that nonconforming

9018
05:29:38,470 --> 05:29:42,700
use. So this is something to

9019
05:29:42,408 --> 05:29:43,750
help our industrial users

9020
05:29:43,750 --> 05:29:45,475
continue their investor use

9021
05:29:46,812 --> 05:29:47,478
that we can. Visit this at a

9022
05:29:47,478 --> 05:29:51,780
later date. But for now, I

9023
05:29:51,349 --> 05:29:52,818
just wanted to make sure that

9024
05:29:52,818 --> 05:29:54,219
did not get out over our skis.

9025
05:29:54,219 --> 05:29:56,210
So this is the amendment. Up

9026
05:29:56,210 --> 05:29:58,421
there. Happy to take

9027
05:30:00,392 --> 05:30:03,392
questions. Is a boring enough

9028
05:30:05,531 --> 05:30:06,231

the opportunity to comment.

9048
05:30:53,778 --> 05:30:54,712
I'm Megan Concannon,

9049
05:30:54,712 --> 05:30:56,581
representative of a container

9050
05:30:56,581 --> 05:30:57,549
storage facility located on

9051
05:30:57,549 --> 05:30:59,949
Tidewater Avenue. We attended

9052
05:31:01,954 --> 05:31:02,620
that Unites e e d hearing and

9053
05:31:02,620 --> 05:31:03,254
provided public comments on

9054
05:31:03,254 --> 05:31:05,254
the proposed legislation.

9055
05:31:05,891 --> 05:31:06,557
Thank you. Zac Unger and has

9056
05:31:06,557 --> 05:31:08,930
stayed at that hearing. The

9057
05:31:08,930 --> 05:31:09,270
proposed legislation as

9058
05:31:09,270 --> 05:31:09,795
currently drafted does

9059
05:31:09,795 --> 05:31:11,795
continues a legal

9060
05:31:11,796 --> 05:31:12,764
nonconforming truck related

9061
05:31:12,764 --> 05:31:14,764
industrial use immediately

9062
05:31:16,568 --> 05:31:17,168
active operations for 60 days

9063
05:31:17,168 --> 05:31:17,903
and therefore illegally

9064
05:31:17,903 --> 05:31:18,503
penalizes property owners were

9065
05:31:18,503 --> 05:31:21,503
acting in good faith to

9066
05:31:21,607 --> 05:31:22,240
continue an existing lawful

9067
05:31:22,240 --> 05:31:24,640
industrial use through of

9068
05:31:24,742 --> 05:31:25,912
marketing or site improvement.

9069
05:31:25,912 --> 05:31:28,312
He's good. Faith activities

9070
05:31:28,614 --> 05:31:29,314
can easily take longer than 60

9071
05:31:29,314 --> 05:31:29,981
days and should be considered

9072
05:31:29,981 --> 05:31:32,418
part of active operation of

9073
05:31:32,418 --> 05:31:33,418
the industrial use. We want to

9074
05:31:33,418 --> 05:31:36,870
be sure that the language is

9075
05:31:36,870 --> 05:31:37,422
clear that active marketing

9076
05:31:37,422 --> 05:31:38,790
para such sites is considered

9077
05:31:38,790 --> 05:31:40,659
to be active operations and

9078
05:31:40,659 --> 05:31:42,126
does not trigger that 60 day

9079
05:31:42,126 --> 05:31:42,760
timeline. We support the city

9080
05:31:42,760 --> 05:31:43,361
amending the language to

9081
05:31:43,361 --> 05:31:45,263
clearly state that the

9082
05:31:45,263 --> 05:31:47,532
legislation does not apply to

9083
05:31:47,532 --> 05:31:48,199
sites that are being actively

9084
05:31:48,199 --> 05:31:50,599
marketed and or undergoing

9085
05:31:50,803 --> 05:31:53,203
repairs and maintenance. Thank

9349
05:43:27,166 --> 05:43:29,566
Councilmember Houston. I like

9350
05:43:33,105 --> 05:43:36,705
to make an amendment to. The

9351
05:43:38,760 --> 05:43:38,911
sanctuary. 6.2, 6 we come from

9352
05:43:38,911 --> 05:43:42,113
the city of Oakland as a

9353
05:43:42,113 --> 05:43:42,815
sanctuary city policy. And I

9354
05:43:42,815 --> 05:43:45,815
spoke about this many times.

9355
05:43:47,850 --> 05:43:49,253
We're talking public safety

9356
05:43:49,253 --> 05:43:52,123
that to a bittersweet day. And

9357
05:43:52,123 --> 05:43:55,723
let me share with you. Why.

9358
05:43:56,261 --> 05:43:57,528
And in JULY, which is this

9359
05:43:57,528 --> 05:43:59,928
month 1986 a resolution was

9360
05:44:00,298 --> 05:44:02,166
passed 6, 3, 9, 5, 0 making

9361
05:44:02,166 --> 05:44:04,566
Oakland a sanctuary city.

9362
05:44:06,137 --> 05:44:08,537
That's 40 years ago. 40 years

9363
05:44:10,241 --> 05:44:12,110
ago. And I and I had everyone

9364
05:44:12,110 --> 05:44:12,810
to ask the public a question,

9365
05:44:12,810 --> 05:44:13,479
asked everybody on the dice.

9366
05:44:13,479 --> 05:44:14,846
The question I said, who's

9367
05:44:14,846 --> 05:44:17,246
here? Black and Hispanic.

9368
05:44:19,785 --> 05:44:22,785
Raise your hand. Black and

9369
05:44:25,223 --> 05:44:27,623
Hispanic mixed. Yeah. Mixed.

9370
05:44:28,192 --> 05:44:32,992
So so when I say that when I

9371
05:44:36,634 --> 05:44:39,538
say that I'm saying it. Order

9372
05:44:39,538 --> 05:44:41,538
in the chambers.

9373
05:44:43,709 --> 05:44:47,309
Please MISS Us either. We have

9374
05:44:51,182 --> 05:44:51,849
business combat. No one can

9375
05:44:51,849 --> 05:44:54,386
talk from our lands. And I

9376
05:44:54,386 --> 05:44:57,210
always mention that my people

9377
05:44:57,210 --> 05:45:00,192
on my mom's side, it's black.

9378
05:45:00,192 --> 05:45:00,825
Mamas back my father's Latino

9379
05:45:00,825 --> 05:45:01,961
have been left out for 40

9380
05:45:01,961 --> 05:45:02,594
years where with their

9381
05:45:02,594 --> 05:45:04,128
sanctuary, where is their

9382
05:45:04,128 --> 05:45:06,528
sanctuary? Where is their

9383
05:45:08,133 --> 05:45:10,568
refuge? Left out for years and

9384
05:45:10,568 --> 05:45:13,400
years and years. So I wanted

9385
05:45:13,400 --> 05:45:13,671
to add this amendment to

9386
05:45:13,671 --> 05:45:16,671
compliment both sides of my

9387
05:45:17,976 --> 05:45:20,376
family. And the amendments

9388
05:45:22,681 --> 05:45:23,381
that I have. I've I've

9389
05:45:23,381 --> 05:45:24,782
Submitted and Councilmember

9390
05:45:24,782 --> 05:45:27,782
Jenkins cannot read them out.

9391
05:45:27,953 --> 05:45:32,153
The law. This case have a copy

9392
05:45:35,928 --> 05:45:38,162
of them. The Okay. That read

9393
05:45:38,162 --> 05:45:39,163
about a time. If you can

9394
05:45:39,163 --> 05:45:42,163
broadcast them. Also copies of

9395
05:45:45,270 --> 05:45:47,270
your amendments. Definitely.

9396
05:45:52,311 --> 05:45:53,645
Can you come up, please? And

9397
05:45:53,645 --> 05:45:57,245
listen to image, real close to

9398
05:45:57,348 --> 05:45:59,584
Israel. Important 40 years was

9399
05:45:59,584 --> 05:46:00,252
at 40 acres and a mule to come

9400
05:46:00,252 --> 05:46:03,852
all 40 years. So I want to

9401
05:46:06,250 --> 05:46:07,260
read them out. And Evelyn, for

9402
05:46:07,260 --> 05:46:08,328
my Latino side of my family, I

9403
05:46:08,328 --> 05:46:09,127
want you to read out in

9404
05:46:09,127 --> 05:46:09,827
Spanish so they can understand

9405
05:46:09,827 --> 05:46:13,427
what I'm doing would blend in

9406
05:46:16,368 --> 05:46:18,369
it. Paragraph 4 and paragraph

9407
05:46:18,369 --> 05:46:19,337
10. But I want you to do is

9408
05:46:19,337 --> 05:46:21,239
read that in English and then

9409
05:46:21,239 --> 05:46:22,740
read that one in Spanish.

9410
05:46:22,740 --> 05:46:23,441
Also. So you can start it off

9411
05:46:23,441 --> 05:46:25,576
and I want and I just want to

9412
05:46:25,576 --> 05:46:28,576
share this. I want everybody

9413
05:46:29,882 --> 05:46:31,490
to really here with these

9414
05:46:31,490 --> 05:46:32,284
amendments. They've been long

9415
05:46:32,284 --> 05:46:35,284
time waiting for this to

9416
05:46:35,721 --> 05:46:38,121
happen. Long time, 40 years.

9417
05:46:38,589 --> 05:46:41,592
So I want both sides of family

9418
05:46:41,592 --> 05:46:42,627
to be sanctuary and refuge. Is

9419
05:46:42,627 --> 05:46:43,361
it anything wrong with that?

9420
05:46:43,361 --> 05:46:47,561
You got a problem with it. Let

9421
05:46:48,499 --> 05:46:50,301
me know. Now. So evident. Can

9422
05:46:50,301 --> 05:46:50,936
you read that out yet? No

9423
05:46:50,936 --> 05:46:51,637
problem with that. But at

9424
05:46:51,637 --> 05:46:54,637
9.30, we're going to have to

9425
05:46:55,306 --> 05:46:56,542
extend the meeting. By rules

9426
05:46:56,542 --> 05:46:58,444
of procedure in 40 years. My

9427
05:46:58,444 --> 05:47:00,412
people be waiting for this. I

9428
05:47:00,412 --> 05:47:01,145
know. I know. But 9.30, we're

9429
05:47:01,145 --> 05:47:01,847
going to take a vote to extend

9430
05:47:01,847 --> 05:47:05,490
the meeting to see what time

9431
05:47:05,490 --> 05:47:06,317
it is. What can do this 5

9432
05:47:06,317 --> 05:47:07,510
misses nothing. Don't read a

9433
05:47:07,510 --> 05:47:10,510
slow and easy, Evelyn, because

9434
05:47:11,422 --> 05:47:13,124
I wanted to be documented. I

9435
05:47:13,124 --> 05:47:13,859
want the people recorded in

9436
05:47:13,859 --> 05:47:16,995
and read it back and listen to

9437
05:47:16,995 --> 05:47:19,395
it. Go ahead it.

9438
05:47:45,357 --> 05:47:47,920
Whereas

9439
05:47:47,920 --> 05:47:47,825
notwithstanding that the

9440
05:47:47,825 --> 05:47:49,825
proposed legislation specifies

9441
05:47:51,960 --> 05:47:51,796
rules prohibiting the city

9442
05:47:51,796 --> 05:47:52,931
from Cropper aiding with ice

9443
05:47:52,931 --> 05:47:54,399
and federal immigration

9444
05:47:54,399 --> 05:47:55,366
enforcement efforts and that

9445
05:47:55,366 --> 05:47:56,367
no provision in the

9446
05:47:56,367 --> 05:47:58,767
legislation relates to matters

9447
05:47:59,604 --> 05:48:00,305
be on federal immigration

9448
05:48:00,305 --> 05:48:01,674
enforcement. The City Council

9449
05:48:01,674 --> 05:48:04,740
makes a falling knowledge

9450
05:48:04,375 --> 05:48:05,760
months and whereas the city of

9451
05:48:05,760 --> 05:48:07,476
Oakland recognizes that it's

9452
05:48:08,346 --> 05:48:08,947
that identity culture,

9453
05:48:08,947 --> 05:48:09,648

leadership and social justice

9455
05:48:11,684 --> 05:48:13,318
movements have been profoundly

9456
05:48:13,318 --> 05:48:16,120
shaped by the generations of

9457
05:48:16,120 --> 05:48:17,255
black residents. Families,

9458
05:48:17,255 --> 05:48:18,223
workers, entrepreneurs,

9459
05:48:18,223 --> 05:48:20,223
artists, faith leaders,

9460
05:48:20,491 --> 05:48:21,260
activists and community

9461
05:48:21,260 --> 05:48:22,894
organizations who Peleton

9462
05:48:22,894 --> 05:48:25,960
contributed to the foundation

9463
05:48:25,960 --> 05:48:25,832
of Oakland and whereas the

9464
05:48:25,832 --> 05:48:26,831
city acknowledges the historic

9465
05:48:26,831 --> 05:48:29,231
and ongoing harms experienced

9466
05:48:29,467 --> 05:48:31,302
by black communities resulting

9467
05:48:31,302 --> 05:48:33,271
from slavery and racial

9468
05:48:33,271 --> 05:48:34,939
segregation, discriminatory

9469
05:48:34,939 --> 05:48:37,800
federal state and local

9470
05:48:37,800 --> 05:48:39,800

discriminatory lending and

9474
05:48:45,160 --> 05:48:46,500
other systemic barriers that

9475
05:48:46,500 --> 05:48:48,450
limit access to homeownership,

9476
05:48:48,587 --> 05:48:50,421
wealth creation, education,

9477
05:48:50,421 --> 05:48:52,421
employment and economic

9478
05:48:52,524 --> 05:48:53,925
opportunity. And whereas the

9479
05:48:53,925 --> 05:48:54,492
city recognizes that black

9480
05:48:54,492 --> 05:48:56,940
residents in Oakland

9481
05:48:56,940 --> 05:48:58,494
experience significant loss of

9482
05:48:59,230 --> 05:49:00,980
land, housing, stability and

9483
05:49:00,980 --> 05:49:01,699
generational wealth through

9484
05:49:01,699 --> 05:49:02,801
racially discriminatory

9485
05:49:02,801 --> 05:49:04,801

05:49:06,605 --> 05:49:07,705
redlining, predatory lending

9487
05:49:07,705 --> 05:49:08,606
displacement pressures

9488
05:49:08,606 --> 05:49:10,376
pressures and policies that

9489
05:49:10,376 --> 05:49:11,809
contributed to the decline of

9490
05:49:11,809 --> 05:49:12,411
black homeownership and the

9491
05:49:12,411 --> 05:49:14,411
forced displacement of

9492
05:49:14,613 --> 05:49:15,980
longtime Oakland families and

9493
05:49:15,980 --> 05:49:17,810
whereas the city of knowledge

9494
05:49:17,810 --> 05:49:19,517
is that the war on drugs and

9495
05:49:19,517 --> 05:49:20,452
related criminal justice

9496
05:49:20,452 --> 05:49:22,452

mobility and long-term

9504
05:49:34,565 --> 05:49:36,401
committee harm. And whereas

9505
05:49:36,401 --> 05:49:37,680
the city recognizes that

9506
05:49:37,680 --> 05:49:37,703
despite these various black

9507
05:49:37,703 --> 05:49:39,471
Oakland residents have

9508
05:49:39,471 --> 05:49:40,371
demonstrated extraordinary

9509
05:49:40,371 --> 05:49:42,771
resilience and leadership by

advocating for justice and

9515
05:49:51,150 --> 05:49:51,650

reputation as a national

9517
05:49:54,185 --> 05:49:55,988
center for equity activism and

city of knowledge is that

9520
05:49:59,570 --> 05:50:00,725
historical inequities have

9521
05:50:00,725 --> 05:50:01,726
contributed to persistent

9522
05:50:01,726 --> 05:50:02,293
disparities affecting black

9523
05:50:02,293 --> 05:50:04,293

9524
05:50:06,298 --> 05:50:07,231
disparities in housing, access

9525

the city of firms that the

9531
05:50:21,113 --> 05:50:21,679
true refuge belonging and

9532
05:50:21,679 --> 05:50:22,381
justice requires the

9533
05:50:22,381 --> 05:50:24,781
recognition and protection of

9534
05:50:24,950 --> 05:50:25,583
all communities impacted by

9535
05:50:25,583 --> 05:50:26,250
historic discrimination,

9536
05:50:26,250 --> 05:50:28,250
including black communities

9537
05:50:28,854 --> 05:50:29,488
who struggles for freedom,

9538
05:50:29,488 --> 05:50:30,723
equality and civil rights

9539
05:50:30,723 --> 05:50:32,925
helped establish many of the

9540
05:50:32,925 --> 05:50:34,927
protections and Clinton. But

9541
05:50:34,927 --> 05:50:35,593

9542
05:50:35,593 --> 05:50:36,194
the city is committed to

9543
05:50:36,194 --> 05:50:38,960

its black hometown heroes is

9566
05:51:11,195 --> 05:51:11,829
more than an act of historical

9567
05:51:11,829 --> 05:51:13,765
recognition. It is an

9568
05:51:13,765 --> 05:51:15,768

do accept the amendment site.

9632
05:53:06,244 --> 05:53:09,181
I it is important when we

9633
05:53:09,181 --> 05:53:09,881
create a city of refuge policy

9634
05:53:09,881 --> 05:53:12,818
that we're correct eyes, all

9635
05:53:12,818 --> 05:53:13,518
forms of oppression and the

9636
05:53:13,518 --> 05:53:15,918
black community has certainly

9637
05:53:16,187 --> 05:53:18,187
experienced the most

9638
05:53:19,257 --> 05:53:21,657
significant oppression. So I

9639
05:53:22,760 --> 05:53:25,130
am I good with adding these

9640
05:53:25,130 --> 05:53:27,530
amendments into the whereas

9641
05:53:29,168 --> 05:53:31,568

additional modifications

9643
05:53:33,380 --> 05:53:34,238
myself. First of the mayor

9644
05:53:34,238 --> 05:53:38,438
would like to be added as a

9645
05:53:39,110 --> 05:53:40,511
co-sponsor to the ordinance.

9646
05:53:40,511 --> 05:53:41,245

the MISS Complaining raise my

9807
06:00:57,149 --> 06:00:59,549
parents. Were immigrants make

9808
06:01:00,585 --> 06:01:01,320
it go? Over a year ago, I

9809
06:01:01,320 --> 06:01:03,454
reluctantly attended a meeting

9810
06:01:03,454 --> 06:01:05,491
of faith in action on

9811
06:01:05,491 --> 06:01:06,291
immigration. I say reluctantly

9812
06:01:06,291 --> 06:01:08,559
because I thought, you know,

9813
06:01:08,559 --> 06:01:10,262
what can you do against the

9814
06:01:10,262 --> 06:01:11,620
federal government? But it

9815
06:01:11,620 --> 06:01:11,797
wasn't about do anything

9816
06:01:11,797 --> 06:01:13,164
against the federal government

9817
06:01:13,164 --> 06:01:16,164
was but doing something in

9818
06:01:16,868 --> 06:01:17,335
support of individuals

9819
06:01:17,335 --> 06:01:18,903
affected by the

9820
06:01:18,903 --> 06:01:19,470
administrations of the poll

9821
06:01:19,470 --> 06:01:21,870
the policies of this

9822
06:01:22,573 --> 06:01:24,973
administration. And I learned

9823
06:01:25,610 --> 06:01:28,279
a lot about how we could

9824
06:01:28,279 --> 06:01:30,679
support and my job,

9825
06:01:31,150 --> 06:01:33,550
fortunately allows me to

9826
06:01:33,752 --> 06:01:35,200
provide some concrete support

9827
06:01:35,200 --> 06:01:35,687
to individuals. But it isn't

9828
06:01:35,687 --> 06:01:38,870
that concrete support that

9829
06:01:39,857 --> 06:01:40,858
they are. They are most

9830
06:01:40,858 --> 06:01:42,828
appreciative of it is the fact

9831
06:01:42,828 --> 06:01:45,129
that we're standing with them

9832
06:01:45,129 --> 06:01:46,397
and then what we have their

9833
06:01:46,397 --> 06:01:48,667
backs and that is what you get

9834
06:01:48,667 --> 06:01:50,268
to vote on right now. Today

9835
06:01:50,268 --> 06:01:51,970
he's having the banks of our

9836
06:01:51,970 --> 06:01:52,737
immigrant families here in

9837
06:01:52,737 --> 06:01:55,137
Oakland. Please pass this

9838
06:01:55,341 --> 06:01:56,400
ordinance. Thank you. Thank

9839
06:01:56,400 --> 06:02:00,240
you so much for your kind of

9840
06:02:01,347 --> 06:02:04,347
comments next. Speaker. I will

9841
06:02:06,417 --> 06:02:09,417
be interpreting. Can you state

9842
06:02:09,488 --> 06:02:11,523
name for the record so we can.

9843
06:02:11,523 --> 06:02:16,323
But yes, so I can look are up.

9844
06:03:26,698 --> 06:03:28,333
Says biggestMy name is this

9845
06:03:28,333 --> 06:03:29,330
endeavor. U.S. And I speak

9846
06:03:29,330 --> 06:03:30,401
with faith in action East Bay

9847
06:03:30,401 --> 06:03:31,369
on behalf of families who need

9848
06:03:31,369 --> 06:03:33,137
Oakland to be safe in

9849
06:03:33,137 --> 06:03:35,740
practice, not only in

9850
06:03:35,740 --> 06:03:36,140
principle, this ordinance

9851
06:03:36,140 --> 06:03:36,841
helps make that real by

9852
06:03:36,841 --> 06:03:39,241
stating that city employees

9853
06:03:40,211 --> 06:03:40,913
cannot use city resources to

9854
06:03:40,913 --> 06:03:42,913
investigate question, detect

9855
06:03:44,315 --> 06:03:45,500
or apprehend someone who is

9856
06:03:45,500 --> 06:03:46,685
only whose only possible

9857
06:03:46,685 --> 06:03:48,687
violation is a civil

9858
06:03:48,687 --> 06:03:49,288
immigration violations. It

9859
06:03:49,288 --> 06:03:50,121
also protects sensitive

9860
06:03:50,121 --> 06:03:52,121
information by requiring

9861
06:03:53,925 --> 06:03:54,592
requiring a review of forms

9862
06:03:54,592 --> 06:03:55,927
application. So the city is

9863
06:03:55,927 --> 06:03:58,327
not collecting immigration or

9864
06:03:58,429 --> 06:03:59,131
citizen citizenship

9865
06:03:59,131 --> 06:04:00,465
information unless authorized

9866
06:04:00,465 --> 06:04:03,200
or legally required. That is

9867
06:04:03,200 --> 06:04:05,137
how harm prevent perfect. He's

9868
06:04:05,137 --> 06:04:06,905
prevented before it happens.

9869
06:04:06,905 --> 06:04:09,141
Family should not have to fear

9870
06:04:09,141 --> 06:04:09,841
that to apply for services

9871
06:04:09,841 --> 06:04:12,677
entering a city building are

9872
06:04:12,677 --> 06:04:14,279
calling for help. Could expose

9873
06:04:14,279 --> 06:04:14,946
them to immigration

9874
06:04:14,946 --> 06:04:15,647
enforcement. I urge you to

9875
06:04:15,647 --> 06:04:17,915
pass these protections. Thank

9876
06:04:17,915 --> 06:04:20,915
you. Thank you for your

9877
06:04:21,487 --> 06:04:23,887
comments next. Speaker. And

9878
06:04:25,724 --> 06:04:27,425
Jenks. This council has

9879
06:04:27,425 --> 06:04:28,159
aggressively attacked

9880
06:04:28,159 --> 06:04:28,861
independent police oversight

9881
06:04:28,861 --> 06:04:31,261
that was created specifically

9882
06:04:31,629 --> 06:04:32,264
to protect black Oaklanders.

9883
06:04:32,264 --> 06:04:34,499
This council has ignored

9884
06:04:34,499 --> 06:04:35,167
charter mandates for resources

9885
06:04:35,167 --> 06:04:36,702
for independent oversight.

9886
06:04:36,702 --> 06:04:39,404
This council's cup and he's

9887
06:04:39,404 --> 06:04:40,104
from independent oversight,

9888
06:04:40,104 --> 06:04:43,408
even though it had no fiscal

9889
06:04:43,408 --> 06:04:44,750
impact on the budget. This

9890
06:04:44,750 --> 06:04:45,244
ordinance largely restates

9891
06:04:45,244 --> 06:04:46,879
policies that are already in

9892
06:04:46,879 --> 06:04:47,745
place and that leads to the

9893
06:04:47,745 --> 06:04:48,413
police commission to address

9894
06:04:48,413 --> 06:04:51,149
the issues that we do need

9895
06:04:51,149 --> 06:04:53,549
addressed. How will opd

9896
06:04:53,918 --> 06:04:54,619
engagement ices in Oakland?

9897
06:04:54,619 --> 06:04:55,353
Well, they protect oaklanders

9898
06:04:55,353 --> 06:04:57,289
or will they do what we see in

9899
06:04:57,289 --> 06:04:59,689
another century? Cities arrest

9900
06:05:00,525 --> 06:05:03,262
clergy while they pray. Do

9901
06:05:03,262 --> 06:05:04,696
crowd and traffic control for

9902
06:05:04,696 --> 06:05:06,531
ice. This council did not fund

9903
06:05:06,531 --> 06:05:08,533
the inspector general's policy

9904
06:05:08,533 --> 06:05:10,435
position, which is ironic

9905
06:05:10,435 --> 06:05:11,700
since you're now asking the

9906
06:05:11,700 --> 06:05:11,736
inspector general and the

9907
06:05:11,736 --> 06:05:12,437
police commission to draft

9908
06:05:12,437 --> 06:05:16,370
policy for the city that you

9909
06:05:16,408 --> 06:05:18,770
want to the meeting. Ad hoc

9910
06:05:18,770 --> 06:05:18,711
tomorrow at the police

9911
06:05:18,711 --> 06:05:19,445
commission to discuss ice

9912
06:05:19,445 --> 06:05:21,347
policy is at Five-thirty. It's

9913
06:05:21,347 --> 06:05:24,582
on the website and you can

9914
06:05:24,582 --> 06:05:27,582
join 2 hybrid. Thank you for

9915
06:05:30,955 --> 06:05:32,557
your comments next. Speaker.

9916
06:05:32,557 --> 06:05:34,957

Education in our beloved San

U.S. Passport 10 years ago.

9926
06:05:56,140 --> 06:05:59,614
And it is such an important

9927
06:05:59,951 --> 06:06:02,321
point. Immigrants and Thank

9928
06:06:02,321 --> 06:06:06,324
you new al for your support. I

9929
06:06:06,324 --> 06:06:08,226
asked the council to support

9930
06:06:08,226 --> 06:06:09,327
key provisions. Thank you.

9931
06:06:09,327 --> 06:06:12,327
Thank you for your comments

9932
06:06:13,766 --> 06:06:14,432
next. Speaker. Good Evening

9933
06:06:14,432 --> 06:06:17,432
Council members. My name is

9934
06:06:17,502 --> 06:06:19,237
James Wood. Born and raised

9935
06:06:19,237 --> 06:06:19,939
Oakland practice law more than

9936
06:06:19,939 --> 06:06:22,907
50 years. Open race. My kids

9937
06:06:22,907 --> 06:06:25,907
in Oakland. And leader, faith

9938
06:06:26,844 --> 06:06:27,512
of action and faith in action.

9939
06:06:27,512 --> 06:06:29,512
Councilmember long approach

9940
06:06:30,482 --> 06:06:31,149
faith in action, the spay.

9941
06:06:31,149 --> 06:06:33,384
Strapped to Century City. I

9942
06:06:33,384 --> 06:06:34,180
took this probably a c most

9943
06:06:34,180 --> 06:06:35,453
important challenge in my

9944
06:06:35,453 --> 06:06:38,390
practice is an attorney in

9945
06:06:38,390 --> 06:06:39,657
Oakland or anywhere. I did

9946
06:06:39,657 --> 06:06:40,225
this because as a member Saint

9947
06:06:40,225 --> 06:06:41,659
Charles community and

9948
06:06:41,659 --> 06:06:44,659
listening to the members that

9949
06:06:45,197 --> 06:06:45,932
faith in action, I understood

9950
06:06:45,932 --> 06:06:47,320
the pain and the suffering and

9951
06:06:47,320 --> 06:06:49,534
the fear and the anxiety, the

9952
06:06:49,534 --> 06:06:51,934
members of our community

9953
06:06:53,171 --> 06:06:54,239
experienced every day. I

9954
06:06:54,239 --> 06:06:56,639
appreciated that pain, anxiety

9955
06:06:57,442 --> 06:06:58,577
and fear even more so when I

9956
06:06:58,577 --> 06:07:00,977
read the paper or 10,000

9957
06:07:01,279 --> 06:07:02,130
detentions in a five-day span,

9958
06:07:02,130 --> 06:07:04,249
its getting worse, the fear is

9959
06:07:04,249 --> 06:07:06,150
now a matter of terror. And I

9960
06:07:06,150 --> 06:07:09,870
approach this task in and not

9961
06:07:09,870 --> 06:07:10,221
only crafting the ordinance in

9962
06:07:10,221 --> 06:07:12,925
a way what it does, but what

9963
06:07:12,925 --> 06:07:13,591
it says to our community. But

9964
06:07:13,591 --> 06:07:16,462
it tells our community, the

9965
06:07:16,462 --> 06:07:19,980
city of Oakland will not

9966
06:07:19,980 --> 06:07:20,199
provide access to any any law

9967
06:07:20,199 --> 06:07:20,932
enforcement action. It would

9968
06:07:20,932 --> 06:07:24,136
be a message for our community

9969
06:07:24,136 --> 06:07:25,336
that in Oakland we will

9970
06:07:25,336 --> 06:07:26,390
protect. I apologize was

9971
06:07:26,390 --> 06:07:26,705
really your time. Thank you.

9972
06:07:26,705 --> 06:07:30,142
Thank you so much for your

9973
06:07:30,142 --> 06:07:32,142
comments next. Speaker.

9974
06:08:45,684 --> 06:08:46,551
Good

9975
06:08:46,551 --> 06:08:47,252
evening. My name is putting

9976
06:08:47,252 --> 06:08:50,288
Gomez and I'm a leader faith

9977
06:08:50,288 --> 06:08:50,923
in action. East Bay. I support

9978
06:08:50,923 --> 06:08:53,580
this ordinance because it

9979
06:08:53,580 --> 06:08:54,325
recognizes the simple truth.

9980
06:08:54,325 --> 06:08:55,728
It's a for Oakland. Depends a

9981
06:08:55,728 --> 06:08:56,594
safer Oakland depends on

9982
06:08:56,594 --> 06:08:58,297
residents being able to engage

9983
06:08:58,297 --> 06:09:00,465
with city government without

9984
06:09:00,465 --> 06:09:03,465
fear. The draft protects that.

9985
06:09:04,402 --> 06:09:04,969
That principle by limiting opd

9986
06:09:04,969 --> 06:09:06,969
cooperation with ice

9987
06:09:07,380 --> 06:09:07,705
forbidding arrest on the

9988
06:09:07,705 --> 06:09:09,800
tension based or detention

9989
06:09:09,800 --> 06:09:11,408
based solely on administrative

9990
06:09:11,543 --> 06:09:13,445
warrants or other civil

9991
06:09:13,445 --> 06:09:14,113
immigration documents and

9992
06:09:14,113 --> 06:09:15,648
prohibiting the sharing of

9993
06:09:15,648 --> 06:09:17,149
personal information on that

9994
06:09:17,149 --> 06:09:17,950
basis. It also makes clear

9995
06:09:17,950 --> 06:09:21,253
that city property is not to

9996
06:09:21,253 --> 06:09:21,854
be used to assist federal

9997
06:09:21,854 --> 06:09:23,854
immigration enforcement

9998
06:09:24,923 --> 06:09:26,580
because he did. That is not a

9999
06:09:26,580 --> 06:09:28,127
city purpose. These measured,

10000
06:09:28,127 --> 06:09:30,527
lawful and necessary site.

10001
06:09:31,630 --> 06:09:31,631
Safeguards. They protect

10002
06:09:31,631 --> 06:09:33,631
immigrants, immigrant

10003
06:09:33,832 --> 06:09:34,566
residents strict and trust in

10004
06:09:34,566 --> 06:09:35,301
public institutions and

10005
06:09:35,301 --> 06:09:37,436
reaffirm Oakland's identity as

10006
06:09:37,436 --> 06:09:40,706
a city of Refuge. Thank you.

10007
06:09:40,706 --> 06:09:41,373
And I resent that the

10008
06:09:41,373 --> 06:09:42,740
amendments were not read in

10009
06:09:42,740 --> 06:09:42,741
Spanish when it was announced

10010
06:09:42,741 --> 06:09:46,341
that they were going to be

10011
06:09:46,612 --> 06:09:47,280
ready Spanish. Thank you.

10012
06:09:47,280 --> 06:09:50,280
Thank you for your comments

10013
06:09:51,650 --> 06:09:54,500
next speaker. Please. Good

10014
06:09:54,486 --> 06:09:55,220
evening. Councilmembers

10019
06:10:07,198 --> 06:10:08,233
and I'll be sending it to

10020
06:10:08,233 --> 06:10:10,233
Councilmember in 2017, Council

10021
06:10:12,371 --> 06:10:13,205
for American Progress studied

10022
06:10:13,205 --> 06:10:16,205
sanctuary cities and they came

10023
06:10:17,141 --> 06:10:20,440
up with these findings on

10024
06:10:20,440 --> 06:10:21,790
average. 35.5 fewer crimes

10025
06:10:21,790 --> 06:10:22,314
committed per 10,000 people in

10026
06:10:22,314 --> 06:10:24,714
sanctuary counties compared to

10027
06:10:25,484 --> 06:10:26,217
non sanctuary counties. The

10028
06:10:26,217 --> 06:10:28,617
median household annual income

10029
06:10:28,654 --> 06:10:31,540
is average 4,000 higher in

10030
06:10:32,758 --> 06:10:34,758
sanctuary counties. The

10031
06:10:35,694 --> 06:10:36,662
poverty rate is 2.3% lower on

10032
06:10:36,662 --> 06:10:38,830
average in sanctuary counties

10033
06:10:38,830 --> 06:10:40,565
compared to non sanctuary

10034
06:10:40,565 --> 06:10:42,965
counties. And unemployment is

10035
06:10:43,636 --> 06:10:44,570
an average 2.1% lower in

10036
06:10:44,570 --> 06:10:46,970
sanctuary counties compared to

10037
06:10:47,473 --> 06:10:49,741
non sanctuary counties. So I

10038
06:10:49,741 --> 06:10:50,476
appreciate what the amendments

10039
06:10:50,476 --> 06:10:52,876
are from Councilmember Houston

10040
06:10:53,145 --> 06:10:56,745
on behalf of my black fellow

10041
06:11:06,158 --> 06:11:08,395
members in sync. Honda and

10042
06:11:08,395 --> 06:11:10,162
Good Evening Council PRESIDENT

10043
06:11:10,162 --> 06:11:10,863
And council members. My name

10044
06:11:10,863 --> 06:11:12,298
is the yen aside said oh, and

10045
06:11:12,298 --> 06:11:15,133
I urge you to adopt this draft

10046
06:11:15,133 --> 06:11:17,101
ordinance making clear that no

10047
06:11:17,101 --> 06:11:18,237
city employee will conduct

10048
06:11:18,237 --> 06:11:19,405
immigration enforcement.

10049
06:11:19,405 --> 06:11:20,806
Oakland is a city with a rich

10050
06:11:20,806 --> 06:11:22,741
and complex history,

10051
06:11:22,741 --> 06:11:23,509
reflective of the very reason

10052
06:11:23,509 --> 06:11:25,909
this matters. People cannot

10053
06:11:27,245 --> 06:11:28,146
safely report crimes go to

10054
06:11:28,146 --> 06:11:31,146
school, seek health care or

10055
06:11:31,349 --> 06:11:32,250
ask for city services if they

10056
06:11:32,250 --> 06:11:33,152
fear that a city employee MAY

10057
06:11:33,152 --> 06:11:36,152
become an arm of immigration

10058
06:11:36,989 --> 06:11:37,690
horsemen. I want to make clear

10059
06:11:37,690 --> 06:11:39,925
that I'm appreciative of the

10060
06:11:39,925 --> 06:11:40,592
city's existing protections

10061
06:11:40,592 --> 06:11:43,630
and then I fully support no

10062
06:11:43,630 --> 06:11:44,330
assistance by opd. In

10063
06:11:44,330 --> 06:11:46,332
addition, I hope Oakland will

10064
06:11:46,332 --> 06:11:48,500
continue moving toward an even

10065
06:11:48,500 --> 06:11:49,935
stronger ordinance. A complete

10066
06:11:49,935 --> 06:11:50,603
ban on Oakland employee

10067
06:11:50,603 --> 06:11:52,538
assistance with immigration

10068
06:11:52,538 --> 06:11:53,739
enforcement in any form except

10069
06:11:53,739 --> 06:11:56,739
for the law. Absolutely leaves

10070
06:11:57,241 --> 06:11:58,109
no local choice. I implore

10071
06:11:58,109 --> 06:11:59,430
that the council vote. Yes. So

10072
06:11:59,430 --> 06:12:00,980
that our city MAY further the

10073
06:12:00,980 --> 06:12:02,140
protections for vulnerable

10074
06:12:02,140 --> 06:12:03,848
neighbors. This is not just

10075
06:12:03,848 --> 06:12:05,818
for the troubling times. We

10076
06:12:05,818 --> 06:12:06,951
are in today before the future

10077
06:12:06,951 --> 06:12:07,519
well-being and preservation of

10078
06:12:07,519 --> 06:12:09,919
Oakland safety in its

10079
06:12:13,158 --> 06:12:14,893
diversity for the few. Thank

10080
06:12:14,893 --> 06:12:17,893
you for your comments. Next

10081
06:12:22,100 --> 06:12:22,768

06:12:22,768 --> 06:12:25,768

10083
06:12:26,704 --> 06:12:28,806
Gear. Here on behalf of cast

10084
06:12:28,806 --> 06:12:29,474
located in West Oakland. I'm

10085
06:12:29,474 --> 06:12:31,874
here to reaffirm our

10086
06:12:33,544 --> 06:12:34,479
commitment to relocating.

10087
06:12:34,479 --> 06:12:36,348
Oakland operations to the

10088
06:12:36,348 --> 06:12:36,949
North Gateway parcel at the

10089
06:12:36,949 --> 06:12:38,350
former Open Army base,

10090
06:12:38,350 --> 06:12:38,983
including the property

10091
06:12:38,983 --> 06:12:40,983
previously designated to

10092
06:12:43,522 --> 06:12:44,188
California Waste Solutions

10093
06:12:44,188 --> 06:12:45,423
proudly operated in Oakland

10094
06:12:45,423 --> 06:12:47,823
since 1969. And will continue

10095
06:12:48,259 --> 06:12:49,394
to invest for decades to come

10096
06:12:49,394 --> 06:12:50,940
at the request of the city

10097
06:12:50,940 --> 06:12:52,494
cast supported the temporary

10098
06:12:53,831 --> 06:12:54,499
use of North Gateway property

10099
06:12:54,499 --> 06:12:55,199
to the Children's hospital

10100
06:12:55,199 --> 06:12:56,601
during its renovation because

10101
06:12:56,601 --> 06:12:58,903
we understood it to be

10102
06:12:58,903 --> 06:12:59,604
temporary. A temporary

10103
06:12:59,604 --> 06:13:00,339
community benefit that would

10104
06:13:00,339 --> 06:13:03,339
not alter the long-term vision

10105
06:13:04,543 --> 06:13:05,810
for the site following cws his

10106
06:13:05,810 --> 06:13:06,377
decision to withdraw from the

10107
06:13:06,377 --> 06:13:08,377
project cast promptly

10108
06:13:09,714 --> 06:13:11,816

10109
06:13:11,816 --> 06:13:12,850
acquiring and developing the

10110
06:13:12,850 --> 06:13:13,818
entire North Gateway Pot

10111
06:13:13,818 --> 06:13:15,186
parcel since that time. We

10112
06:13:15,186 --> 06:13:15,887

10113
06:13:15,887 --> 06:13:18,287
discussions about the future

10114
06:13:19,958 --> 06:13:20,726
of the property. That property

10115
06:13:20,726 --> 06:13:21,360
is the only location with the

10116
06:13:21,360 --> 06:13:23,360
operational footprint for

10117
06:13:33,471 --> 06:13:35,871

06:16:16,769 --> 06:16:20,369
included in the little bit of

10173
06:16:20,505 --> 06:16:22,507
last year on JULY. 1st

10174
06:16:22,507 --> 06:16:24,810

the ad. It also describes

10179
06:16:32,250 --> 06:16:32,817
examples of how the 18, 30th

10180
06:16:32,817 --> 06:16:34,485
Avenue properties are

10181
06:16:34,485 --> 06:16:35,987
completely dissimilar to the

10182
06:16:35,987 --> 06:16:36,989
MacArthur Merchants Quarter

10183
06:16:36,989 --> 06:16:38,791

10184
06:16:38,791 --> 06:16:41,791

06:16:54,672 --> 06:16:57,720
comments next speaker. Please.

10187
06:16:57,276 --> 06:16:58,643
I'm Anne McClain and property

10188
06:16:58,643 --> 06:16:59,877
owner on have a part of

10189
06:16:59,877 --> 06:17:02,781
Laurel. Then that was forced

10190
06:17:02,781 --> 06:17:05,284
we are forced into the bid

10191
06:17:05,284 --> 06:17:08,284
last year. We're not merchants

10192
06:17:08,853 --> 06:17:09,555
if I get cut off my

10193
06:17:09,555 --> 06:17:10,189
information about this can be

10194
06:17:10,189 --> 06:17:13,789
found in the year that we

10195
06:17:14,158 --> 06:17:16,828
submitted to you. I'm asking

10196
06:17:16,828 --> 06:17:17,829
that you suspend the planned.

10197
06:17:17,829 --> 06:17:20,229
33% assessment for the laurel

10198
06:17:21,866 --> 06:17:26,660
be that I The reason for that

10199
06:17:26,170 --> 06:17:26,871
is is that there was no public

10200
06:17:26,871 --> 06:17:27,972
comment. I went to the board

10201
06:17:27,972 --> 06:17:30,972
of directors. I mean, the

10202
06:17:33,770 --> 06:17:34,379
board's meeting. That was on

10203
06:17:34,379 --> 06:17:37,716
the agenda. What are we going

10204
06:17:37,716 --> 06:17:41,316
to assess next year and no

10205
06:17:42,210 --> 06:17:43,540
public comment was invited.

10206
06:17:43,540 --> 06:17:44,489
They postponed so I got to

10207
06:17:44,489 --> 06:17:47,225
speak during open forum and I

10208
06:17:47,225 --> 06:17:50,496
sit just a minute. You know.

10209
06:17:50,496 --> 06:17:51,196
There are 61 rent controlled

10210
06:17:51,196 --> 06:17:54,196
apartments on the 35th Avenue

10211
06:17:55,502 --> 06:17:57,435
corridor. Our rent increase

10212
06:17:57,435 --> 06:18:01,350
allowable by rap is less than

10213
06:18:05,900 --> 06:18:05,978
one percent. Apologize. Must

10214
06:18:05,978 --> 06:18:08,978
claim Your time is next.

10215
06:18:13,170 --> 06:18:13,952
Speaker, thank you. Good

10216
06:18:13,952 --> 06:18:14,687
afternoon, everyone. My name

10217
06:18:14,687 --> 06:18:18,257
is Christine at the Also known

10218
06:18:18,257 --> 06:18:18,990
as Tina from the town born and

10219
06:18:18,990 --> 06:18:22,361
raised in the greatest city in

10220
06:18:22,361 --> 06:18:24,195
the world of California. And I

10221
06:18:24,195 --> 06:18:26,497
am a community leader here in

10222
06:18:26,497 --> 06:18:27,232
Oakland. I do so much work

10223
06:18:27,232 --> 06:18:27,932
here for the city. Most people

10224
06:18:27,932 --> 06:18:31,700
actually think I work for the

10225
06:18:31,700 --> 06:18:32,804
city of Oakland, but I work

10226
06:18:32,804 --> 06:18:35,641
for Costco. I know that we're

10227
06:18:35,641 --> 06:18:36,542
talking about item 6.22, we

10228
06:18:36,542 --> 06:18:38,542
talked about Children's

10229
06:18:40,311 --> 06:18:41,145
Hospital last year. Costco

10230
06:18:41,145 --> 06:18:43,214
donated 1.9 million dollars to

10231
06:18:43,214 --> 06:18:46,214
the facility in North Oakland,

10232
06:18:46,918 --> 06:18:49,870
3 million in total last year.

10233
06:18:49,870 --> 06:18:51,870
There's about 90,000 Costco

10234
06:18:51,189 --> 06:18:51,956
members that have to shop

10235
06:18:51,956 --> 06:18:54,956
outside of Oakland because we

10236
06:18:55,259 --> 06:18:58,259
don't have Costco here. It

10237
06:18:58,396 --> 06:19:00,640
would provide 400 jobs. We're

10238
06:19:00,640 --> 06:19:02,464
losing out on 7 270 million

10239
06:19:02,567 --> 06:19:03,268
dollars. That's leaving

10240
06:19:03,268 --> 06:19:05,668
Oakland and they're spending

10241
06:19:06,404 --> 06:19:07,172
it in other cities. 3 million

10242
06:19:07,172 --> 06:19:10,172
dollars would be the city's

10243
06:19:10,575 --> 06:19:12,975
annual revenue just about.

10244
06:19:12,978 --> 06:19:13,645
Costco provides great benefits

10245
06:19:13,645 --> 06:19:15,714
and it would be awesome to

10246
06:19:15,714 --> 06:19:18,150
have Thank you, Tina. From the

10247
06:19:18,150 --> 06:19:20,150

largest distribution of slate

10256
06:19:44,809 --> 06:19:47,145
in the South Lawn, which

10257
06:19:47,145 --> 06:19:49,545
again, under 400 food insecure

10258
06:19:50,949 --> 06:19:53,170

10259
06:19:53,170 --> 06:19:54,152
are undocumented. The food

10260
06:19:54,152 --> 06:19:57,152
lion is actually immigrant wet

10261
06:19:57,388 --> 06:19:58,560

that we serve line is

10270
06:20:18,376 --> 06:20:20,878
convivial. But it's the fear

10271
06:20:20,878 --> 06:20:22,580
is tangible many mothers and

10272
06:20:22,580 --> 06:20:23,247
grandmothers to come through

10273
06:20:23,247 --> 06:20:26,847
on it. They don't have much

10274
06:20:26,851 --> 06:20:27,552
choice. And they know that

10275
06:20:27,552 --> 06:20:30,455
they could be snatched price

10276
06:20:30,455 --> 06:20:31,189
of any time. So please them

06:20:31,189 --> 06:20:33,825

10278

06:24:38,700 --> 06:24:41,606
in this item in both San Jose

10380
06:24:41,606 --> 06:24:43,174
and San Diego. You know, over

10381
06:24:43,174 --> 06:24:46,174
the years I'm interested, how

10382
06:24:48,212 --> 06:24:48,914
it will be affecting Oakland

10383
06:24:48,914 --> 06:24:51,914
you want you. There's a

10384
06:24:53,751 --> 06:24:54,687
possibility the retirement

10385
06:24:54,687 --> 06:24:55,520
benefits and health benefits

10386
06:24:55,520 --> 06:24:56,722
of city workers in order to

10387
06:24:56,722 --> 06:24:57,655
help budget and deficit

10388
06:24:57,655 --> 06:25:01,126
issues. I think that's kind of

10389
06:25:01,126 --> 06:25:04,395
a bit of it. Overly strong

10390
06:25:04,395 --> 06:25:06,131
approach. If you just take

10391
06:25:06,131 --> 06:25:09,731
small cut in pay each month

10392
06:25:10,100 --> 06:25:12,401
piggyback that 600 a year.

10393
06:25:12,804 --> 06:25:13,472
Comes out, you know, 2000 city

10394
06:25:13,472 --> 06:25:14,172
workers to over 2000 to

10395
06:25:14,172 --> 06:25:16,572
2 million dollars in savings

10396
06:25:17,842 --> 06:25:18,543
just about. That's pretty

10397
06:25:18,543 --> 06:25:19,278
significant. I think that's a

10398
06:25:19,278 --> 06:25:21,800
better way to work and cutting

10399
06:25:21,800 --> 06:25:21,846
out health benefits. I hope

10400
06:25:21,846 --> 06:25:24,582
you can think in those terms

10401
06:25:24,582 --> 06:25:25,250
and thank you to government

10402
06:25:25,250 --> 06:25:28,152
workers who are willing to

10403
06:25:28,152 --> 06:25:28,786
take one for the team in order

10404
06:25:28,786 --> 06:25:31,786
to work on budget deficit

10405
06:25:32,290 --> 06:25:32,991
issue. That's really nice. It

10406
06:25:32,991 --> 06:25:35,860
takes a lot of pressure to do

10407
06:25:35,860 --> 06:25:38,860
that as a community. Thank

10408
06:25:40,640 --> 06:25:43,340
you. I for 6.22, that's the

10409
06:25:43,340 --> 06:25:43,736
Costco issue. I'm I'm I'm I

10410
06:25:43,736 --> 06:25:46,871
want to be in favor of it. I

10411
06:25:46,871 --> 06:25:47,572
wanted to work. I'm

10412
06:25:47,572 --> 06:25:49,700
uncomfortable. The fact that

10413
06:25:49,700 --> 06:25:50,409
we can't house people in that

10414
06:25:50,409 --> 06:25:52,430
area that we want to place

10415
06:25:52,430 --> 06:25:53,177
food and products in that area

10416
06:25:53,177 --> 06:25:56,777
for as the big store warehouse

10417
06:25:56,981 --> 06:25:57,650
for people to to be visiting

10418
06:25:57,650 --> 06:25:59,317
and stop. I don't know. But

10419
06:25:59,317 --> 06:26:00,190
that think to do that sort of

10420
06:26:00,190 --> 06:26:03,190
action either cannot kind of

10421
06:26:04,856 --> 06:26:07,856
conversation. I hope that can

10422
06:26:08,626 --> 06:26:09,727
be a part of the conversation.

10423
06:26:09,727 --> 06:26:10,995
I feel it's why the Oakland

10424
06:26:10,995 --> 06:26:12,970
a's. They eventually left the

10425
06:26:12,970 --> 06:26:14,497
downtown ballpark idea because

10426
06:26:14,866 --> 06:26:15,600
there are health concerns you

10427
06:26:15,600 --> 06:26:19,604
know, I just Costco need to be

10428
06:26:19,604 --> 06:26:20,506
thing. And the final item, 6

10429
06:26:20,506 --> 06:26:24,106
point to fix. Thank you for

10430
06:26:24,310 --> 06:26:26,545
sanctuary city. Things really

10431
06:26:26,545 --> 06:26:27,245
nice amendment by by a count.

10432
06:26:27,245 --> 06:26:30,548
It's in Houston. It was nice

10433
06:26:30,548 --> 06:26:33,284
to hear that. With that. I

10434
06:26:33,284 --> 06:26:33,952
want to you again and again

10435
06:26:33,952 --> 06:26:37,552
and thank you for that and

10436
06:26:38,230 --> 06:26:39,792
good luck that. And we

10437
06:26:39,792 --> 06:26:42,270
continue traditions of what a

10438
06:26:42,270 --> 06:26:43,163
sanctuary city it builds. I

10439
06:26:43,163 --> 06:26:43,829
think something positive and

10440
06:26:43,829 --> 06:26:47,199
hopeful look what we can do

10441
06:26:47,199 --> 06:26:49,434
with it. Ideally, thank you.

10442
06:26:49,434 --> 06:26:50,368
Thank you for your comments

10443
06:26:50,368 --> 06:26:53,372

10445
06:26:55,106 --> 06:26:55,774

foundation rooted in district

10453
06:27:13,191 --> 06:27:15,960
5 in serving all of Oakland.

10454
06:27:15,960 --> 06:27:18,360
Speaking on item 6.2, funding

10455
06:27:18,496 --> 06:27:19,330
here to express our gratitude

10456
06:27:19,330 --> 06:27:22,930
for the sport of the Libra,

10457
06:27:23,350 --> 06:27:24,103
independent living project.

10458
06:27:24,103 --> 06:27:24,837
This a Spanish speaking to

10459
06:27:24,837 --> 06:27:25,537
this is foundation has been

10460
06:27:25,537 --> 06:27:27,937
rooted in Oakland's immigrant

10461
06:27:28,773 --> 06:27:29,474
community for over 6 decades.

10462
06:27:29,474 --> 06:27:31,874
We served newcomer immigrant

10463
06:27:32,144 --> 06:27:33,746
youth ages 15 to 21. When

10464
06:27:33,746 --> 06:27:34,345
navigating adulthood in a new

10465
06:27:34,345 --> 06:27:36,345
country under enormous

10466
06:27:37,548 --> 06:27:39,500
pressure. And in the political

10467
06:27:39,500 --> 06:27:40,190
climate that has made simply

10468
06:27:40,190 --> 06:27:42,540
existing as an arrogant, young

10469
06:27:42,540 --> 06:27:43,588
person feel frightening. They

10470
06:27:43,588 --> 06:27:44,189
need more than job training.

10471
06:27:44,189 --> 06:27:46,589
They need ecosystem of

10472
06:27:46,858 --> 06:27:49,858
support. That is exactly what

10473
06:27:50,262 --> 06:27:50,962
this program provides. Your

10474
06:27:50,962 --> 06:27:51,863
support sends a clear message

10475
06:27:51,863 --> 06:27:53,932
that Oakland stands with its

10476
06:27:53,932 --> 06:27:56,340
immigrant youth. We will honor

10477
06:27:56,340 --> 06:27:56,634
that trust, deliver results

10478
06:27:56,634 --> 06:27:57,303
and report back to this

10479
06:27:57,303 --> 06:28:00,303
council with the impact of

10480
06:28:00,672 --> 06:28:03,408
every dollar invested. Now in

10481
06:28:03,408 --> 06:28:04,576

10485
06:28:09,140 --> 06:28:10,315
Oakland's commitment with

10486
06:28:10,315 --> 06:28:11,500
residents permanent. We are

10487
06:28:11,500 --> 06:28:11,750
living through a moment of

10488
06:28:11,750 --> 06:28:13,551
cruel and indiscriminate

10489
06:28:13,551 --> 06:28:15,551
immigration enforcement.

10490
06:28:15,687 --> 06:28:18,122
Families are being torn apart.

10491
06:28:18,122 --> 06:28:18,791
People are afraid to leave

10492
06:28:18,791 --> 06:28:21,191
their homes. Report crimes.

10493
06:28:21,659 --> 06:28:23,861
See a doctor into any

10494
06:28:23,861 --> 06:28:25,663
government office that climate

10495
06:28:25,663 --> 06:28:26,364
of fear we can every

10496
06:28:26,364 --> 06:28:28,666
neighborhood in Oakland, not

10497
06:28:28,666 --> 06:28:29,934
just immigrant communities.

10498
06:28:29,934 --> 06:28:30,702
Oakland has always believed

10499
06:28:30,702 --> 06:28:31,603
the local government law

10500
06:28:31,603 --> 06:28:32,303
enforcement exist to serve

10501
06:28:32,303 --> 06:28:34,205
residents not to act as an

10502
06:28:34,205 --> 06:28:34,872
extension of federal

10503
06:28:34,872 --> 06:28:36,872
government. This ordinance

10504
06:28:38,430 --> 06:28:38,776
rights into law. Where does

10505
06:28:38,776 --> 06:28:39,511
durable and forcible no matter

10506
06:28:39,511 --> 06:28:42,810

10507
06:28:42,810 --> 06:28:43,749
or the White House, please

10508
06:28:43,749 --> 06:28:44,782

Oakland resident deserves to

10510
06:28:45,516 --> 06:28:49,116
know that the city stands with

10511
06:28:49,722 --> 06:28:52,624
them. Thank you. Thank you for

it's not good evening, I'm

10532
06:29:34,232 --> 06:29:35,400
speaking on behalf of the

10533
06:29:35,400 --> 06:29:36,100
Unity Council Community

10534
06:29:36,100 --> 06:29:36,669
Development Corporation

10535
06:29:36,669 --> 06:29:38,570
redundant, but they'll for

10536
06:29:38,570 --> 06:29:40,970
over 60 years. Speaking on

10537
06:29:42,340 --> 06:29:43,342
item 6.0 26 and we want to

10538
06:29:43,342 --> 06:29:45,209
thank Councilmembers Wang and

10539
06:29:45,209 --> 06:29:46,844
Gallo for bringing this item

10540
06:29:46,844 --> 06:29:48,546
forward. The Unity Council

10541
06:29:48,546 --> 06:29:50,810
strongly supports the City of

10542
06:29:50,810 --> 06:29:51,950
Refuge ordinance. It really

10543
06:29:51,950 --> 06:29:54,850
complements mayor sleaze said

10544
06:29:54,850 --> 06:29:55,888
orders and make those

10545
06:29:55,888 --> 06:29:56,587
protections permanent. We also

10546
06:29:56,587 --> 06:29:58,587
support tonight's amendments.

10547
06:29:58,723 --> 06:29:59,959
The Sea is the time for racial

10548
06:29:59,959 --> 06:30:01,159
solidarity to celebrate the

10549
06:30:01,159 --> 06:30:03,159
culture that patients

10550
06:30:03,261 --> 06:30:05,330
immigrants bring. And if we

10551
06:30:05,330 --> 06:30:07,730
national activation, we also

10552
06:30:08,267 --> 06:30:08,900
applaud new additions to

10553
06:30:08,900 --> 06:30:09,534
ordinance as attacks and

10554
06:30:09,534 --> 06:30:11,436
racism have escalated for

10555
06:30:11,436 --> 06:30:13,836
businesses are reporting sales

10556
06:30:14,439 --> 06:30:15,139
lining up to 20 to 30%. A

10557
06:30:15,139 --> 06:30:17,442
financial impact that reaches

10558
06:30:17,442 --> 06:30:19,278
to see and its revenue. Nearly

10559
06:30:19,278 --> 06:30:21,450

10616
06:32:32,644 --> 06:32:33,745

06:32:58,202 --> 06:32:58,903

10636
06:33:15,688 --> 06:33:18,688
Seconded by Houston and are

10637
06:33:22,794 --> 06:33:24,562
you got something? I just want

10638
06:33:24,562 --> 06:33:26,310
to state for the record

10639
06:33:26,310 --> 06:33:27,866
because I know that we had a

10640
06:33:27,866 --> 06:33:28,766
speaker from cast his name was

10641
06:33:28,766 --> 06:33:31,166
Daniel, all the council

10642
06:33:32,437 --> 06:33:33,137
members received a letter with

10643
06:33:33,137 --> 06:33:34,606
cas expressing their interest

10644
06:33:34,606 --> 06:33:37,409
in the location in West

10645
06:33:37,409 --> 06:33:38,242
Oakland for a Costco. And I

10646
06:33:38,242 --> 06:33:39,143
just want to say that letter

10647
06:33:39,143 --> 06:33:42,743
is a reiteration of a letter

10648
06:33:42,747 --> 06:33:43,448
that we received earlier this

10649
06:33:43,448 --> 06:33:44,149
year. It's a reiteration of a

10650
06:33:44,149 --> 06:33:47,149
letter we received years ago.

10651
06:33:48,530 --> 06:33:48,620
It's a reiteration of an

10652
06:33:48,620 --> 06:33:49,287
exclusive negotiation

10653
06:33:49,287 --> 06:33:50,221
agreement that they had for

10654
06:33:50,221 --> 06:33:52,857
over a decade but didn't move

10655
06:33:52,857 --> 06:33:55,961
forward on. So I want to be

10656
06:33:55,961 --> 06:33:58,196
clear that our land at the

10657
06:33:58,196 --> 06:33:58,931
North Gateway is city own land

10658
06:33:58,931 --> 06:34:02,467
and the city gets to determine

10659
06:34:02,467 --> 06:34:05,300
what to do with that land. And

10660
06:34:05,300 --> 06:34:06,604
after over a decade of no

10661
06:34:06,604 --> 06:34:09,400
action from the individuals

10662
06:34:09,975 --> 06:34:11,676
who had exclusive agreements

10663
06:34:11,676 --> 06:34:14,612
to develop that parcel. It

10664
06:34:14,612 --> 06:34:16,581
didn't happen. I am so happy

10665
06:34:16,581 --> 06:34:17,383
to be the councilmember over

10666
06:34:17,383 --> 06:34:20,852
the district that is going to

10667
06:34:20,852 --> 06:34:21,487
bring this project home after

10668
06:34:21,487 --> 06:34:22,186
20 plus years. So I just

10669
06:34:22,186 --> 06:34:24,255
wanted to state that for the

10670
06:34:24,255 --> 06:34:27,255
record. Thank you so much.

10671
06:34:29,327 --> 06:34:32,327

06:37:19,786 --> 06:37:21,432
you were talking

10741
06:37:21,432 --> 06:37:23,832
about reparations that pays

10742
06:37:24,350 --> 06:37:24,736
for black people. All the one

10743
06:37:24,736 --> 06:37:26,671
that would establish a office

10744
06:37:26,671 --> 06:37:29,671
office that would identify who

10745
06:37:30,800 --> 06:37:32,408
would qualify for reparations.

10746
06:37:32,944 --> 06:37:33,712
Don't lie and say people are

10747
06:37:33,712 --> 06:37:34,312
getting stuff from the city of

10748
06:37:34,312 --> 06:37:37,312
the state when it's not

10749
06:37:37,783 --> 06:37:38,584
happening black people just

10750
06:37:38,584 --> 06:37:41,287
like that. All right. A says

10751
06:37:41,287 --> 06:37:41,987
that passed Alameda County.

10752
06:37:41,987 --> 06:37:44,387
The recommendations pace with

10753
06:37:45,892 --> 06:37:48,626
no money. Thank you for your

10754
06:37:48,626 --> 06:37:49,327
us all about Next. Speaker by

10755
06:37:49,327 --> 06:37:51,727
Contra name. Please approach

10756
06:37:56,634 --> 06:37:57,369
the podium. Good Good evening.

10757
06:37:57,369 --> 06:37:58,937
My name is Robbie. Once again,

10758
06:37:58,937 --> 06:38:01,272
I'm speaking on the lower

10759
06:38:01,272 --> 06:38:02,373
world bid. We just want to

10760
06:38:02,373 --> 06:38:04,242
have a chance just talk a bit

10761
06:38:04,242 --> 06:38:07,110
more about how we think very

10762
06:38:07,110 --> 06:38:07,745
unfair that during the Laurel

10763
06:38:07,745 --> 06:38:09,745
expansion, these 18 properties

10764
06:38:10,915 --> 06:38:12,251
in the 35th Avenue corridor

10765
06:38:12,251 --> 06:38:12,951
did not have a and the weight

10766
06:38:12,951 --> 06:38:15,586
and their votes and there was

10767
06:38:15,586 --> 06:38:16,888
no actual way to be able to

10768
06:38:16,888 --> 06:38:19,570
have all of us voted against

10769
06:38:19,570 --> 06:38:19,891
it and still have any means of

10770
06:38:19,891 --> 06:38:22,891
making a difference. So once

10771
06:38:24,762 --> 06:38:26,131
again, assessment waiting. Of

10772
06:38:26,131 --> 06:38:27,199
voting for the expansion of a

10773
06:38:27,199 --> 06:38:27,900
lower bid was just really

10774
06:38:27,900 --> 06:38:28,601
unjust. And we just wanted to

10775
06:38:28,601 --> 06:38:29,301
shed some more light on that.

10776
06:38:29,301 --> 06:38:32,901
Thank you. Thank you for your

10777
06:38:36,750 --> 06:38:38,475
comments. I'm Anne McClain.

10778
06:38:39,979 --> 06:38:41,479
And just like to continue

10779
06:38:41,479 --> 06:38:42,681
their with their meetings,

10780
06:38:42,681 --> 06:38:44,483
FEBRUARY and MARCH where the

10781
06:38:44,483 --> 06:38:46,217
board plane to decide what the

10782
06:38:46,217 --> 06:38:48,217
assessment percentage should

10783
06:38:49,187 --> 06:38:50,623
be at no time during those

10784
06:38:50,623 --> 06:38:52,557
meetings. Was there any public

10785
06:38:52,557 --> 06:38:54,225
invitation for public to

10786
06:38:54,225 --> 06:38:57,225
speak? However, on the second

10787
06:39:00,398 --> 06:39:01,866
meeting when one of Directors

10788
06:39:01,866 --> 06:39:02,667
said that somebody had spoken

10789
06:39:02,667 --> 06:39:04,969
to her and said that 5% would

10790
06:39:04,969 --> 06:39:08,273
be too much. And so she was

10791
06:39:08,273 --> 06:39:09,575
going to recommend 3, 2%.

10792
06:39:09,575 --> 06:39:11,344
Well, what I'd like to know is

10793
06:39:11,344 --> 06:39:13,645
why wasn't there any open farm

10794
06:39:13,645 --> 06:39:15,614
during that item when it was

10795
06:39:15,614 --> 06:39:19,214
on the agenda where I could

10796
06:39:20,285 --> 06:39:23,221
speak. And yet somebody could

10797
06:39:23,221 --> 06:39:23,955
speak to this director and

10798
06:39:23,955 --> 06:39:25,890
say, well, it's 5 percents too

10799
06:39:25,890 --> 06:39:28,793
much. I just think that's very

10800
06:39:28,793 --> 06:39:29,894
and to make Democratic. And i

10801
06:39:29,894 --> 06:39:32,563
think that that has to be

10802
06:39:32,563 --> 06:39:36,763
looked at again by it. It just

10803
06:39:36,968 --> 06:39:37,635
wasn't. Wasn't Democratic.

10804
06:39:37,635 --> 06:39:40,635
Thank you for your comments

10805
06:39:41,739 --> 06:39:44,139
Lane next speaker. Please.

10806
06:39:44,677 --> 06:39:46,945
Good evening. I'm Joe. Good

10807
06:39:46,945 --> 06:39:48,945
evening. Councilmembers and

10808
06:39:49,615 --> 06:39:51,582
community. I am here to invite

10809
06:39:51,582 --> 06:39:54,454
you and I'm here to invite you

10810
06:39:54,454 --> 06:39:57,220
to join myself and the

10811
06:39:57,220 --> 06:39:59,220
organization, our community,

10812
06:39:59,657 --> 06:40:02,657
our care. On Saturday, JULY

10813
06:40:03,127 --> 06:40:05,530
25th from 11 to 4 at the

10814
06:40:05,530 --> 06:40:07,530
beautifully renovated moss.

10815
06:40:09,200 --> 06:40:12,800
Well, park for our bone marrow

10816
06:40:13,371 --> 06:40:15,400
donor registration Drive. A

10817
06:40:15,400 --> 06:40:17,440
bone marrow transplant can

10818
06:40:17,709 --> 06:40:20,178
cure or more than 75 diseases,

10819
06:40:20,178 --> 06:40:22,178
including sickle cell,

10820
06:40:24,916 --> 06:40:26,284
leukemia and lymphoma. If

10821
06:40:26,284 --> 06:40:29,284
you're between the ages of 18

10822
06:40:30,655 --> 06:40:31,290
35 registration is simple is

10823
06:40:31,290 --> 06:40:34,660
just that's a swap to the

10824
06:40:34,660 --> 06:40:35,661
inside of your cheek. But that

10825
06:40:35,661 --> 06:40:36,328
small act could become

10826
06:40:36,328 --> 06:40:38,728
someone's second chance at

10827
06:40:40,298 --> 06:40:42,367
life. If you're not eligible,

10828
06:40:42,367 --> 06:40:42,934
you can still make a

10829
06:40:42,934 --> 06:40:44,934
life-saving impact by

10830
06:40:45,604 --> 06:40:48,400
volunteering. Thank you for

10831
06:40:48,606 --> 06:40:49,240
your comments. Next speaker.

10847
06:41:19,171 --> 06:41:20,940
PRESIDENT Jenkins,

10848
06:41:20,940 --> 06:41:22,741
Councilmember Houston. I

10849
06:41:22,741 --> 06:41:24,575

your constituents Indy 6 and e

10851
06:41:26,978 --> 06:41:28,646
7. My understanding, you know,

10852
06:41:28,646 --> 06:41:31,646
about the 73rd Avenue bike

10853
06:41:31,716 --> 06:41:34,116
project. I spent 40 minutes 2

10854
06:41:34,520 --> 06:41:36,587
Fridays ago. One bicyclists

10855
06:41:36,587 --> 06:41:37,722
stopped whom he engaged with

10856
06:41:37,722 --> 06:41:39,424
me. He's not from the area. So

10857
06:41:39,424 --> 06:41:41,659
if the project is going to

10858
06:41:41,659 --> 06:41:42,661
move on, I challenge you and I

10863
06:41:51,970 --> 06:41:55,570
like a grift from Oak dot.

10864
06:41:59,877 --> 06:42:00,545
Don't let that go. Thank you
