[14:30] Division and economic
[14:31] Workforce development and the
[14:36] agency finding is that. We
[14:37] want to correct the ordinance
[14:38] titles to that. It could be
[14:41] heard on the JULY 40's cd
[14:43] committee in JULY, 21st cd
[14:45] Committee. And the Reason We
[14:46] want this to be heard before
[14:47] the break is that the property
[14:52] is in forbearance. Lender
[14:56] extended to APRIL 21st. If we
[14:57] wait till SEPTEMBER, it will
[14:58] extend the time period that
[15:01] developers be able to sell the
[15:03] property. He cannot sell it
[15:04] without authorization to
[15:06] forgive the loan, the debt
[15:10] alone in the rent on the
[15:11] property because he's
[15:12] overleveraged. And that's why
[15:14] we're pursuing this Resolution
[15:21] ordinance thank you for that
[15:22] emergency financing it on the

[17:39] parcels 9.10 We'll bring
[17:40] online some 54 units of
[17:44] single-family housing. The map
[17:46] approval for these 2 parcels
[17:47] has been delayed on the city
[17:50] side for several months. We
[17:53] need urgent action to
[17:53] demonstrate to residents of
[17:54] the city of Oakland and our
[17:57] real estate partners that
[17:58] we're committed to being good
[17:59] regulators and good partners

[18:07] that the chief engineer has
[18:07] determined that the final maps
[18:11] are consistent with the
[18:13] tentative maps previously
[18:15] approved. We've collected some
[18:16] 13 million dollars in
[18:18] guarantees for the public

[18:27] for final maps, his
[18:28] ministerial. So we won't be
[18:29] question debate on these

[28:33] quickly is important people to

[35:01] selection process, the public

[36:06] person's good luck to our
[36:08] current council person's and
[36:11] how they can navigate working
[36:13] the county. It was a lot of
[36:15] work previously and hopefully
[36:18] maybe just this time around a
[36:20] good mediation process can be
[36:21] taken place. Good luck in your
[36:23] after town. You can be working
[36:25] council with the County. Well,
[36:26] what the county at this time

[36:40] This For Okay. I want to
[36:41] mention with Bay, you watch
[36:44] the issues that I'm I'm trying
[36:47] to learn. I came here, you
[36:48] know, back last year, number
[36:51] through MARCH, just in a panic
[36:52] he watched. It is going to
[36:55] some serious, serious changes.
[36:58] They are. You it maybe not so
[36:59] bad. As first thought, there
[37:00] MAY be parts of democratic
[37:03] process that will continue all
[37:04] they are, although they
[37:05] consolidating their process,
[37:08] it seems like how they do that
[37:09] openly. And clearly I hope you
[37:11] can still work with them on an
[37:12] asset of them and demand that
[37:15] of them. Good luck in the
[37:16] efforts and working with a one
[37:18] and that man, it is a place
[37:19] that is a public meeting place
[37:20] and the community should
[37:22] really go to their meetings
[37:23] and see what their
[37:26] contribution is to our local
[37:29] national security and and and
[37:30] law enforcement priorities. I
[37:32] mean, if you want to have a
[37:33] question that it's important
[37:33] to attend those meetings and
[37:37] see what they do. And on to
[37:41] item 3.15, sounds like you are
[37:44] possibly going to bring back
[37:45] one of the previous police
[37:46] commissioners. Thank you. If

[37:50] amazing. But to me, if you can
[37:55] be as a he really deserves it.

[40:52] $81,000 that was spent by
[40:56] children's initiative to
[40:56] remove Portables from Skyline
[40:57] High School. That was on the
[40:59] agenda last week at the school
[41:00] board meeting. That money is
[41:02] supposed to be use for early
[41:03] childhood development. You
[41:04] need to find out how that
[41:07] happened. You need to have a
[41:09] report on sanctuary cities and
[41:11] how it impacts the lives of
[41:12] jobs and housing needs of
[41:14] African-Americans. You need to
[41:15] have a report on
[41:16] gentrification, how it impacts

[41:19] African-Americans. You need to
[41:21] have a report on the city
[41:24] administrative spending up to

[41:28] to be annual report and has
[41:29] not happened and it is
[41:32] scheduled to happen in 2027.
[41:33] He did have a report on ca
[41:36] school environment is status.
[41:37] That's serious. You need to
[41:39] have a report on new so-called
[41:40] reparations that everybody's
[41:41] talking about. But you have
[41:43] never taken a position created
[41:43] an ordinance resolutions
[41:46] related to reparations. You
[41:47] have to you need to have a
[41:50] report on the parking
[41:50] violation. Sorry. The parking
[41:52] validation that's allowed

[42:25] Thank you for your comments.
[42:39] Mississauga next speaker.
[42:39] So
[42:41] on my understanding of this is
[42:43] that I believe with the
[42:44] approval. I do understand I
[42:46] have a little bit issue with
[42:48] the public works and
[42:50] Transportation Committee. Art
[42:51] is real list will not been
[42:52] sent in to any of the
[42:53] circuits. Based on how you
[42:56] guys writing based on the bond
[42:58] etf, while the bart bonds are
[43:00] seeing I have to hack your
[43:03] systems in 9 different
[43:07] languages to validate the
[43:08] wonderment cryptocurrency
[43:11] knowing that nonprofits offer
[43:12] 3 one-day passes as a way it
[43:13] any of the nonprofits and
[43:14] that's executive order to no
[43:15] questions asked. And you inner
[43:19] pole. How that is wondered pre
[43:21] and post the door assignment
[43:22] to atf standards. Yes, there
[43:26] is an issue when you guys ask
[43:27] that that is wondered in these
[43:28] types of forms of being able
[43:31] to pound them Biden walk and
[43:31] show you as a grant of the
[43:33] city and the county is a he
[43:36] not among this issue based on
[43:37] the view of federal
[43:37] legislation to the two-year
[43:40] Treasury note. When this is
[43:41] wondered a little bit public
[43:45] safety is a request Mont. I do
[43:47] believe should be. 28 to 34
[43:52] ask it is compromised at 16 27
[43:52] and say you don't understand
[43:56] community fundraising. Sba or
[43:57] there is a police credit union
[43:58] in this community and why the
[43:59] f you don't use it compared
[44:02] paying the highest federal
[44:04] consulting fees in the country
[44:04] is f#
[44:05] b#
[44:06] , excuse my
[44:09] language. When this is wonder
[44:10] to the Port Liaison Committee
[44:12] draft. I do have a little bit
[44:14] issue with knowing that
[44:14] they're going through it from
[44:17] the environmental on q e c d I
[44:19] do have an issue with the
[44:22] housing. I believe it's
[44:23] absolutely bull ship. And I'm
[44:24] gonna say it's student. Please
[44:25] mind your language.
[44:30] Understood. Look at the
[44:30] community and county
[44:31] legislation office only says
[44:34] that there are 8200 within the
[44:34] county that are homeless. We
[44:39] have 5,000 just city. That's
[44:42] Thank you for your comments
[44:42] make Speaker Blair Beekman
[44:43] please unmute yourself and you
[44:46] MAY begin. All right. Up
[44:52] impeachment. On your upcoming
[44:54] committees this JULY. I what
[44:56] you're starting to hint at in
[45:00] JUNE, you're going to be
[45:01] budget deficit issues a bit
[45:05] more. I think I would how we
[45:05] can have those conversations.
[45:06] I don't exactly know how you
[45:09] guys want to work. That idea.
[45:10] You know, I've just been
[45:13] describing what what San
[45:14] Diego's been going to have,
[45:15] the second highest budget
[45:16] deficit for a city only to
[45:21] Oakland. And I described in
[45:23] Oakland, you guys that made
[45:24] feel important effort that you
[45:25] concentrate on social services
[45:27] first and then talk about the
[45:28] budget. Diego really been
[45:31] learning those lessons and I'm
[45:33] just interested now how
[45:35] exactly the programs you know,
[45:35] you have to be considering for
[45:39] budget deficit issue that I
[45:40] think has been included in
[45:43] ideas such you know, how
[45:46] workers can take pay cut in
[45:47] health care. And in their
[45:50] retirement plans. I've been
[45:51] trying to say I don't think
[45:53] that's quite the right
[45:55] approach and they can take a
[45:56] cut all together, you know,
[45:57] like 50 bucks a month, 600
[46:01] bucks a gear that brings the
[46:02] budget savings of almost
[46:02] 2 million dollars. If you have
[46:07] a staff of a 2500,000 workers.
[46:11] So, you know, I'm I'm I'm. You
[46:13] know, how do we navigate those
[46:13] things and have that
[46:15] conversation and make the
[46:16] connection that there is
[46:19] important deficit? You guys
[46:20] have to acknowledge and work
[46:22] on you guys have been doing
[46:25] incredibly Thank you. So good
[46:25] luck out how you can be
[46:26] working on that and that we
[46:30] can do it. Well. To quickly
[46:34] conclude. Yeah, as I said Icac
[46:38] Underwrote writer. I outlines
[46:41] working towards peace for our
[46:42] community. Peter I it's an
[46:43] important concept that we're
[46:43] trying to understand could
[46:44] look how we can be learning
[46:45] that we can create a policy
[46:48] that. Thank you for your
[46:49] comments that concludes our
[46:52] public speakers for this item.
[46:53] Thank you. If there are no
[46:57] counts in there, comments we
[46:57] have posh U.S. District 7
[47:06] office. Please go ahead. 2026.
[47:07] There was an item that was
[47:09] presented in conjunction with
[47:11] the other That item was 5.5
[47:12] titled and Counting to in
[47:14] management. Team operations
[47:15] and had a presentation that
[47:16] was not presented during City
[47:18] Council meeting on JULY 7th
[47:20] 2026. That would have answered
[47:22] questions from other council
[47:23] members. Councilmember Houston
[47:24] would like to request this
[47:24] item to come back to next
[47:26] council meeting on JULY. 21st
[47:28] 2026, we're asking for real 24
[47:29] to bypass committee and go
[47:32] straight to council due to the
[47:35] ap going into effect on JULY
[47:35] 14th 2026. It is important for
[47:36] the council members to have
[47:37] clarity on the incumbent
[47:37] management abatement team
[47:45] operations. Thank you. So just
[47:54] for clarification so MADAM
[47:56] City Clerk, Reed City, her can
[47:57] click of the council. So
[47:57] during that meeting, those 2
[48:00] items were taken together. And
[48:01] I believe one of your
[48:01] colleagues say they were going
[48:03] to work with council member
[48:04] Houston to bring a different
[48:06] item bat possibly for action.
[48:07] But that item is was it
[48:14] dispensed with? Through the
[48:16] chair to the body just for
[48:18] clarity. If you're trying to
[48:19] schedule line of that would be
[48:19] done under items. 3 of this
[48:21] agenda, which has already
[48:22] occurred, so need to be
[48:23] brought back as a new
[48:28] scheduling item at this point.
[48:28] Thank you. I will entertain a
[48:36] motion. So moved second. And
[48:37] that was a cold ocean by
[48:40] Councilmember 5 seconded by
[48:41] council member Brown to
[48:44] approve item for as is on row
[48:45] Councilmember Brown. I
[48:49] councilmember 5. I council
[48:51] member Ahmed Chandran. I in
[48:52] Chair Jane King is excused.
[48:53] Item 4 is approved with 3 eyes
[48:57] won excused. That now takes us
[48:59] to item number 5. Number 5 is
[49:01] receiving information report
[49:03] from the city Attorney office
[49:05] regarding the cases the city
[49:06] attorney's office has brought
[49:08] pursuant to the open. This
[49:10] Bull Code chapter 1.1, 0. I
[49:13] have 4 speakers for this item.
[49:19] Thank you to the city tend
[49:20] Deputy city attorney pennies
[49:21] here to present the report.
[49:25] Think Good Morning Council.
[49:26] Here to present the
[49:27] information report on the
[49:29] civil protection of the people
[49:30] of Oakland ordinance. So we
[49:34] call say for short for those
[49:37] of you are on council in JULY
[49:38] 2023, you might remember this
[49:38] ordinance and for those of you
[49:40] who are not on council at that
[49:42] time, this ordinance was
[49:43] passed unanimously by City
[49:47] Council. And what it did was
[49:48] it gave the city attorney
[49:49] explicit authority to enforce
[49:52] all of the Oakland Municipal
[49:53] Code prior to this. The city
[49:54] attorney couldn't for some but
[49:58] not all of Oakland's laws. And
[49:58] by and for us. I mean, when
[50:01] one of our violated the city
[50:02] attorney can file a lawsuit, a
[50:06] civil lawsuit under the law.
[50:06] The ordinance also gave the
[50:08] city Attorney authority to
[50:09] seek a range of meaningful
[50:10] remedies for the city. And for
[50:12] Oakland, residents, tenants
[50:14] and workers and others who are
[50:15] harmed by our laws being
[50:19] violated. Importantly, the
[50:20] ordinance was designed to
[50:22] promote equitable enforcement
[50:22] of our laws, equity with built
[50:26] into the ordinance. We had
[50:26] worked with the Department of
[50:28] Race inequity to conduct a
[50:29] racial equity impact analysis.
[50:32] But prior to passage and that
[50:32] was in the staff report and
[50:35] that's attached here
[50:39] attachment b. And the reason
[50:40] that we're here today is
[50:42] because the ordinance required
[50:43] the city attorney to collect
[50:45] data on lawsuits filed under
[50:46] the ordinance and to present a
[50:47] report to council within 3
[50:50] years of passage. And the
[50:50] reportedly publicly available
[50:52] on our website. So we have
[50:55] this report that we we put
[50:58] forward to the committee and
[50:59] as the report says, the city
[51:00] attorney filed 5 lawsuits
[51:01] under the ordinance over the
[51:04] last 3 years, including
[51:06] lawsuits to protect the rights
[51:07] of Oakland, tenants, workers
[51:09] and residents to the lawsuits
[51:11] are still pending. One was
[51:12] dismissed. One was settled and
[51:14] one is mostly resolved. And
[51:15] the details of those lawsuits
[51:18] is in the report. The city
[51:21] attorney also included this
[51:22] ordinance in demand letters.
[51:23] We are often able to resolve
[51:23] issues short of filing a
[51:28] lawsuit. And and overall c one
[51:31] point has been. Useful for
[51:34] office, we continue. We plan
[51:37] to continue using this tool
[51:41] and we have some next steps
[51:42] that are included in the
[51:44] report, too. Make our use of
[51:48] this tool more meaningful in
[51:48] robust, for example, we will
[51:51] be creating a plan to collect
[51:51] enforcement data more
[51:53] thoroughly inconsistently
[51:54] across the teams that are
[51:57] using ordinance in the office.
[51:58] We will follow the current
[51:59] cases through collect
[52:00] demographic data on the
[52:02] outcomes and impacts of
[52:04] litigation. We will develop
[52:05] additional training for
[52:07] attorneys in our office about
[52:08] conducting an equity analysis
[52:12] when c 1.1 Now and we will be
[52:13] consulting with Dre, the
[52:15] Department of Race inequity in
[52:15] this process. We have
[52:16] consulted with them and they
[52:18] continue to be a partner for
[52:19] us. I'm happy to answer any
[52:23] questions about the report.
[52:28] Thank Colleagues. Okay, I'm
[52:30] not. I will ask a couple of
[52:32] quick questions. I very much
[52:33] remember this being brought
[52:36] forward back in 2023 glad to
[52:39] hear that office had success
[52:41] in utilizing it in a few
[52:45] cases. My first question is
[52:47] mentioned that it's also been
[52:48] invoked in demand letters.
[52:50] What type of cases are those?
[52:53] This is primarily used by the
[52:54] affirmative litigation
[52:55] division and our office and
[52:56] the types of cases that we
[53:00] bring. There are a lot of
[53:01] housing cases. So cases where,
[53:03] you know, tenants complained
[53:03] to the city about their rights
[53:08] being violated by landlords.
[53:10] We also have used it worker
[53:13] protection cases cases where,
[53:14] you know, I've wage and paid
[53:16] sick leave. Another worker
[53:16] protection laws are being
[53:18] violated and their complaints
[53:20] the city or to our office
[53:21] about that. We also have a
[53:25] fair number of public nuisance
[53:30] matters where. There there's
[53:32] you know, a business that is
[53:32] engaging in conduct that's
[53:34] creating a public nuisance.
[53:36] And Oakland and residents are
[53:40] being harmed. And so we make
[53:42] include this in. This is
[53:42] actually a great tool to
[53:44] address public nuisances
[53:47] locally. So we have used this
[53:49] tool and some of our public
[53:50] nuisance matters. Those are
[53:51] some examples of the types of
[53:52] cases that our our team has
[53:55] worked on. We work on a range
[54:00] of issues, but those are some
[54:03] of That's great. And I
[54:04] understand having written a
[54:04] lot of demand letters in my
[54:05] previous legal career that
[54:07] these can be very impactful.
[54:09] And on that note. How can
[54:13] members of the public have a
[54:14] complaint? Obviously, your
[54:16] office cannot take all of
[54:18] them. How does, for example,
[54:19] if there is a serious is that
[54:20] of tenants that have a major
[54:24] issue in want to seek the city
[54:25] attorneys use this see how to
[54:27] engage with their office
[54:29] based, you know, it's a great
[54:29] question. So we do get lots of
[54:34] complaints from the public and
[54:35] we have 3 units within the
[54:36] affirmative litigation
[54:38] division. That, you know, we
[54:39] work together, but we also
[54:43] have have different focus
[54:45] areas. We have a housing
[54:46] justice initiative. That's one
[54:49] of the units that focuses on
[54:52] tenant protection cases and so
[54:56] the members of the public can.
[54:57] So that there's also the
[55:00] neighborhood La La Core, which
[55:04] as a team 4 to 5 attorneys
[55:05] that we'll address complaints
[55:08] that come in. I think that the
[55:08] contact information that we
[55:09] probably have on the website
[55:10] is for the neighborhood lock
[55:11] or because they're a little
[55:13] bit closer to the ground they
[55:14] can also so they can contact
[55:17] the neighborhood lock or if
[55:20] you look at the Oakland City
[55:22] attorney's website and you
[55:22] find the neighborhood block
[55:23] where the firm Litigation
[55:26] Division you should find there
[55:28] at least email if not also a
[55:30] phone number. So that's one
[55:30] way to contact our team. And
[55:35] that's where a lot of direct
[55:36] complaints and inquiries come
[55:36] through is the neighborhood
[55:41] lock or and sometimes look at
[55:42] rooted then to the Housing
[55:44] Justice Initiative. For
[55:45] example, if it's a tenant,
[55:47] like a large tenant protection
[55:50] case, I also we you know, we
[55:51] hear from council members
[55:51] about complaints that have
[55:55] come to the city. We hear from
[55:55] nonprofits, legal aid
[56:02] organizations. And also filing
[56:02] complaints with diversity
[56:06] departments. So for example,
[56:07] the Department of Workplace
[56:08] unemployment standards is sort
[56:13] of the first stop. For worker.
[56:14] Rights violations. If you
[56:16] think you're not being paid
[56:17] minimum wage or that your your
[56:18] rights are being violated in
[56:21] the workplace, you can file a
[56:22] complaint with the Department
[56:22] of Workplace unemployment
[56:23] standards and that information
[56:25] is on their website and we
[56:26] have worker protection
[56:27] attorneys on our team who work
[56:29] with that department and you
[56:32] know, help them with resolving
[56:35] cases, filing lawsuits cetera.
[56:37] And you can file complaints.
[56:38] Tenants filed complaints with
[56:39] our building Code Department
[56:43] all the time. And we also work
[56:45] with code to address some of
[56:46] those issues, especially when
[56:48] seeing pattern and practice.
[56:51] Okay. Thank you. And remember
[56:54] 2 and a half. 3 years ago
[56:55] asking this question. But he
[56:59] and a fresh and ready. How is
[57:01] 1.1 0 different from the
[57:02] powers that the affirmative
[57:06] litigation team already So the
[57:07] city attorney already had the
[57:09] authority to enforce a number
[57:10] of Oakland laws, but not every
[57:12] single Oakland law. And so
[57:16] when this ordinance passed, it
[57:17] became gave the city attorney
[57:18] clear authority to enforce all
[57:20] of the Oakland Municipal Code.
[57:24] And it also. Gave the city
[57:27] attorney and meaningful
[57:29] remedies that were not
[57:29] available under every single
[57:30] Oakland. Last of some laws
[57:33] say. When the city attorney
[57:34] brings a lawsuit under this
[57:36] the city attorney can seek,
[57:38] you know, penalties that we'll
[57:41] go to the city. Some of the
[57:42] ordinances had said the city
[57:47] attorney can seek money for
[57:48] residents or workers are
[57:49] tenants who are harmed. Some
[57:51] ordinances didn't say that. So
[57:56] this c 1.1 0 provides clear
[57:59] authority to seek a range of
[58:01] remedies that make our work
[58:05] meaningful. That can be a
[58:06] deterrent. 2 actors that are
[58:10] repeatedly violating the law.
[58:17] And that allow the city to to
[58:19] recoup money for the city as
[58:21] well. As for people who are
[58:22] armed and who might be owed
[58:23] back rent or who might be
[58:26] owed. You know, back wages and
[58:30] things like that. We can move
[58:34] to public speakers. Thank you.
[58:36] As I I apologize, discounts on
[58:36] MAY use and have a question or
[58:38] comment on this nat of this.
[58:41] But something Then a little
[58:41] bit for this item to be
[58:46] distant. Thank you. Thank As I
[58:46] call your name, please

[58:58] and Zach for item number 5 in
[59:07] any order, please. That I'm a
[59:11] full-time angry black woman.
[59:13] And like James Baldwin said.
[59:15] To be black and conscious in
[59:18] America. You have to be in a
[59:20] constant state of reach. And I
[59:24] agree with that. Now what take
[59:27] from this is the thing that
[59:28] made in first angry with the
[59:28] city attorneys offices, wind
[59:31] as Brooke, to sue the city
[59:34] attorney's Office for not
[59:35] appropriately with that Elaine
[59:38] Brown issue. I remember
[59:39] Jonelle Harris when she said
[59:41] on the police commission. And
[59:44] it was far gently represent
[59:45] that she was doing something.
[59:46] Wasn't happening related to
[59:49] the former police chief.
[59:50] Fitzpatrick City attorneys
[59:55] office did nothing. And this
[59:57] Harris a foot a break
[59:58] misunderstanding of account
[1:00:02] integrity. It has cost dearly.
[1:00:05] I remember the Bay case that
[1:00:08] the city attorney on many
[1:00:09] occasions has done nothing to
[1:00:10] bring resolve to the big case
[1:00:12] where police officers killed
[1:00:18] the Bay Brothers. I remember
[1:00:19] the police commission having
[1:00:20] to defend itself on several
[1:00:21] occasions because the city
[1:00:25] attorney's office did nothing.
[1:00:26] I have no respect for the city
[1:00:26] attorney's office of the way
[1:00:29] they handled to has it on his
[1:00:31] number of the cases had the
[1:00:31] avoid and do not do things
[1:00:36] appropriately. So that issues
[1:00:36] with the city attorneys
[1:00:38] office. Particularly when it
[1:00:42] relates to. This case. Coming
[1:00:45] up with the $900,000 that you
[1:00:46] all being sued, put the
[1:00:50] streets. That's fine. I want
[1:00:51] to add a city attorney's
[1:00:51] office will handle that when
[1:00:52] you're probably going to have
[1:00:59] to end up. Doing a settlement.
[1:00:59] Which is absolutely
[1:01:00] ridiculous. You should
[1:01:01] intervene in any in the first
[1:01:04] place before this happened.
[1:01:04] But the city's attorneys
[1:01:08] office no respect for. Thank
[1:01:09] you for comments. Next.

[1:04:37] a here are move it to the full
[1:04:37] council. I think the
[1:04:40] recommendation from our office
[1:04:42] that this body can receive it
[1:04:44] in committee. Okay. Make that
[1:04:45] motion to receive in filing

[1:05:12] forum. I have Mississauga Ohl
[1:05:16] of Allah. Derek, Blair man
[1:05:21] ends Zach. To show you
[1:05:22] ridiculous the selection panel
[1:05:25] issue is. Of the 45 candidates
[1:05:29] that applied. One of the 10
[1:05:30] that went through was Doug
[1:05:32] Law. The person that y'all
[1:05:37] rejected 2 times out of the 45
[1:05:37] candidate. Doug Long made it
[1:05:41] to the top 10. That shows you
[1:05:46] credible this process. Let me
[1:05:46] go back to the sanctuary city
[1:05:50] thing. Sanctuary city. The
[1:05:53] problem with it from me. It's
[1:05:54] not having people come here
[1:05:57] illegally on legally. It's
[1:05:59] once they get here. There is a
[1:06:02] impact that happens. The
[1:06:04] impact is jobs. The impact is
[1:06:07] housing. So they have been
[1:06:11] here. People who have come
[1:06:14] here in the immigrant status.
[1:06:14] African Americans are now 10%
[1:06:17] of the unemployment, 70% of
[1:06:21] the of the homeless. We are
[1:06:22] not getting jobs. And when
[1:06:23] that getting homeless and
[1:06:24] people who are coming
[1:06:30] illegally and what I mean.
[1:06:31] Apologies misses out of your
[1:06:34] time. Isn't it?
[1:06:51] Kuzma the Houston? Would you
[1:06:52] like to speak before we move
[1:06:55] to the next? Yes. Good
[1:06:57] morning. Colleagues have a
[1:06:58] question and I want to speak
[1:06:58] to the city attorney on this.
[1:07:02] If you don't mind to the chair
[1:07:03] at the meeting at 3.30, on
[1:07:06] Tuesday, 7, 7, 26 I had had 2
[1:07:09] items to come forward. And
[1:07:11] that was 5.4, 5.5 and our
[1:07:14] PRESIDENT Merge together. All
[1:07:17] right. But what happened was
[1:07:18] when MR. Que become came up. I
[1:07:19] don't know if it was k top of
[1:07:21] whatever councilmember Fife
[1:07:22] that he was saying that he had
[1:07:25] the power play right. But then
[1:07:28] he spoke to it and then the
[1:07:32] power point of 5.4, which was
[1:07:33] receiving information report
[1:07:35] on inventory of city-owned
[1:07:36] property. He kind of went over
[1:07:41] that. And councilmember Brown.
[1:07:43] So so Councilmember 5 had had
[1:07:43] a couple questions that were
[1:07:48] very critical, right? And if
[1:07:49] she would have got that
[1:07:49] information, she would have
[1:07:51] been able to understand some
[1:07:51] of the things that you do with
[1:07:53] needed to be addressed. But
[1:07:56] that. Power point. Was not
[1:08:01] present. And I said it when I
[1:08:03] sat in this chair. Wait, whoa,
[1:08:04] The power point isn't present.
[1:08:07] It. And now I'm here and that
[1:08:11] I got to wait till SEPTEMBER
[1:08:11] to for this power point to
[1:08:12] come up. I want to ask you the
[1:08:16] city attorneys office. This
[1:08:17] power plant was very critical
[1:08:18] for the Eap has been launched
[1:08:22] on 7.14, right. And my
[1:08:22] colleagues needed to
[1:08:24] understand what was in here.
[1:08:26] And it was overlooked. I put
[1:08:29] it on the agenda. It wasn't
[1:08:31] done on purpose. Cast member
[1:08:33] Brown things do happen. But I
[1:08:34] understand, but I should not
[1:08:35] have to a public shouldn't
[1:08:36] have to wait. And my
[1:08:38] colleagues. Even though they
[1:08:40] they understate they can get
[1:08:42] it. I wanted it explained by
[1:08:46] that. Amari that understands
[1:08:48] this on the ground. So I'm
[1:08:52] very disappointed. This was
[1:08:53] not present. And I have waited
[1:08:54] for this. Now we're going
[1:08:58] break. So to chair. To the
[1:09:00] city attorneys office. How do
[1:09:05] I get this scene presented?
[1:09:06] Because I had asked for it to
[1:09:08] presented before we went on to
[1:09:10] break. This is critical that
[1:09:11] they explain this to me and my
[1:09:14] colleagues. So why do I have
[1:09:16] to wait something I had
[1:09:17] planned that I had went
[1:09:20] through the process. I went
[1:09:21] through the process. So how do
[1:09:22] I do this? Because I'm not
[1:09:23] gonna wait that long because
[1:09:25] the public needs to hear this
[1:09:28] and my colleagues needed given
[1:09:29] presented to him that from
[1:09:32] their interpretation. Through
[1:09:32] the chair to the Rules
[1:09:33] Committee, Councilmember
[1:09:34] Houston first want to know
[1:09:35] open forum. And so this item
[1:09:37] is not agendas right now. But
[1:09:41] just to respond briefly, as
[1:09:42] MADAM City clerk said earlier,
[1:09:45] both of those items were
[1:09:46] dispensed like finally
[1:09:46] dispensed with council. So
[1:09:49] they were both received by the
[1:09:51] council and therefore, that
[1:09:52] item is dispense with as of
[1:09:55] now, of course, you can bring
[1:09:56] a scheduling request for a new
[1:09:58] item. Back to this body. And
[1:10:02] that would be submitted to the
[1:10:04] clerk and then taken up on
[1:10:05] items 3 at the next rules. And
[1:10:06] I'd be happy. Happy to talk to
[1:10:07] you after when is the next
[1:10:13] rules? Next Thursday. Next
[1:10:14] Thursday. So so let me ask
[1:10:16] this question, is brought to
[1:10:17] make sure those next Thursday
[1:10:18] will be the earliest meeting
[1:10:19] that this could be presented
[1:10:19] to my colleagues and the
[1:10:20] public. The public needs to
[1:10:25] see this. It could go to the
[1:10:27] JULY 21st Council meeting if
[1:10:28] the body and that this body
[1:10:29] and the council make an
[1:10:31] urgency finding to hear it
[1:10:34] with less than 2 days, not a
[1:10:36] case. I need urgently find him
[1:10:36] because I have put it on the
[1:10:37] calendar. Listen to me. Cali
[1:10:38] put it on the calendar was
[1:10:41] overlooked. I need council
[1:10:41] member Brown a need you to see
[1:10:46] it presented by them.
[1:10:47] Councilmember Fife. I need you
[1:10:48] to see my whole collies that
[1:10:51] to stand that this is what's
[1:10:53] been happening and then it's
[1:10:54] my answer. Some of the
[1:10:55] questions from the individuals
[1:10:56] that's actually implementing
[1:10:57] this process. So Trinity's,
[1:11:00] you hear that. Ok? I need that
[1:11:02] done so we can come back to
[1:11:02] the rules and get this done
[1:11:10] before our break. Thank you.

[1:13:17] on the previous meeting, you
[1:13:19] know that you guys, they're
[1:13:20] working on it. A process like
[1:13:22] the city of San Diego are
[1:13:24] already has. San Diego is not
[1:13:25] having success with it. They
[1:13:28] need organization or the
[1:13:29] actual programs. You know,
[1:13:32] city programs at themselves.
[1:13:33] And I want to trust that you
[1:13:35] guys can work that without

[1:13:50] of job to help organize. And I
[1:13:51] that can be considered for
[1:13:57] yourselves as well. There are
[1:13:58] some important issues around.
[1:14:00] What is the future role of the
[1:14:01] city administrator of Oakland?
[1:14:02] Is their role going start to
[1:14:04] change a bit more? Thank you

[1:14:06] concludes our open for
[1:14:07] speakers. Thank you. The
