00:10:17,148 --> 00:10:18,916
partnerships will result

195
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:19,683
measurable reductions in

196
00:10:19,683 --> 00:10:21,683
contracting disparities. It's

197
00:10:21,818 --> 00:10:23,620
pro to she's will have greater

198
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:24,321
capacity to compete for city

199
00:10:24,321 --> 00:10:26,721
contracts. That's both times

200
00:10:28,758 --> 00:10:29,993
in steps. This work directly

201
00:10:29,993 --> 00:10:31,729
supports Oakland's equity

202
00:10:31,729 --> 00:10:33,664
goals by expanding access to

203
00:10:33,664 --> 00:10:34,397
contracting opportunities for

204
00:10:34,397 --> 00:10:35,633
small minority firms that have

205
00:10:35,633 --> 00:10:36,366
historically been

206
00:10:36,366 --> 00:10:38,766
underrepresented in the city's

207
00:10:40,737 --> 00:10:42,380
contracting. Plus, we'll track

208
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:43,708
progress indicators and will

209
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:44,408
also work find the net or

210
00:10:44,408 --> 00:10:47,408
pushy program as needed based

211
00:10:47,645 --> 00:10:50,447
on the work of this The fiscal

212
00:10:50,447 --> 00:10:52,847
impact is a onetime $100,000

213
00:10:52,849 --> 00:10:55,850
Grant fully funded in the

00:10:55,850 --> 00:10:56,254
fiscal year. 25 27 adopted

215
00:10:56,254 --> 00:10:57,954
budget funding comes from

216
00:10:57,954 --> 00:10:58,788
Measure b p local streets and

217
00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:01,788
France. And happy to answer

218
00:11:04,950 --> 00:11:04,629
any questions. Are there any

219
00:11:04,629 --> 00:11:06,629
questions, comments

220
00:11:07,631 --> 00:11:09,631
Councilmember Houston? Yes,

221
00:11:11,701 --> 00:11:15,139
through the chair. I just have

222
00:11:15,139 --> 00:11:15,772
a few comments that you saw me

223
00:11:15,772 --> 00:11:16,439
get up and start to be in

224
00:11:16,439 --> 00:11:17,173
late. Seem a parking space

225
00:11:17,173 --> 00:11:17,807
happens to me all the time. We

226
00:11:17,807 --> 00:11:20,807
got to do something about

227
00:11:20,945 --> 00:11:22,450
that. So show me get and spoke

228
00:11:22,450 --> 00:11:23,747
to the city attorneys office.

229
00:11:23,747 --> 00:11:25,582
And I just call Ryan

230
00:11:25,582 --> 00:11:26,284
Richardson. So I just wanted

231
00:11:26,284 --> 00:11:29,520
to be transparent because in

232
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:29,753
this, well, you got to be

233
00:11:29,753 --> 00:11:32,880
transparent. And I asked him

234
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,124
would be any kind conflict of

235
00:11:34,124 --> 00:11:37,724
interest because I know crc. I

236
00:11:38,228 --> 00:11:38,929
was raised by their father

237
00:11:38,929 --> 00:11:42,265
when my father died. A father

238
00:11:42,265 --> 00:11:45,403
help me fix up cars and to

239
00:11:45,403 --> 00:11:46,300
learn how carburetor and

240
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,300
things like that. And I

241
00:11:49,306 --> 00:11:49,941
trained under. That comp and

242
00:11:49,941 --> 00:11:53,541
they taught me so much. I

243
00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:59,646
mean. My success was And the

244
00:12:00,116 --> 00:12:00,818
structure. Of that, right. So

245
00:12:00,818 --> 00:12:01,518
I just want to make sure that

246
00:12:01,518 --> 00:12:04,155
when the conflict of interest

247
00:12:04,155 --> 00:12:04,888
side just as this, they said,

248
00:12:04,888 --> 00:12:06,923
you have any financial or have

249
00:12:06,923 --> 00:12:10,523
none of that, I have learned

250
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,795
an experience from being train

251
00:12:11,795 --> 00:12:12,362
and it is great, great

252
00:12:12,362 --> 00:12:14,362
organization with the

253
00:12:15,632 --> 00:12:17,667
structure with crc. So I just

254
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:18,903
want to be transparent. So I

255
00:12:18,903 --> 00:12:19,536
know always ask everybody I'm

256
00:12:19,536 --> 00:12:22,500
just going to be me

257
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:22,573
transparent. So everybody

258
00:12:22,573 --> 00:12:25,573
know. So it's a great

259
00:12:27,711 --> 00:12:28,378
organization. The people that

260
00:12:28,378 --> 00:12:29,112
actually work for me right

261
00:12:29,112 --> 00:12:30,614
now. That was an house and

262
00:12:30,614 --> 00:12:32,182
justice impacted in my prior

263
00:12:32,182 --> 00:12:35,182
life trained under that. Now

264
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:36,720
they work for the city. So

265
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,120
it's great opportunity to

266
00:12:41,291 --> 00:12:41,892
change lives. Structure

267
00:12:41,892 --> 00:12:42,525
everything you need for

268
00:12:42,525 --> 00:12:45,525
success. I just wanted to

269
00:12:47,365 --> 00:12:49,232
share that. I appreciate that.

270
00:12:49,232 --> 00:12:51,135
Level of transparency for the

271
00:12:51,135 --> 00:12:51,835
record. And so I gather that

272
00:12:51,835 --> 00:12:53,237
you are asking if you'll have

273
00:12:53,237 --> 00:12:55,600
to recuse yourself from this

274
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:55,705
vote based on past previous

275
00:12:55,705 --> 00:12:57,705
relationships. Councilmember

276
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,676
Houston is that it? Yes, and

277
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:05,115
they said no, because is is is

278
00:13:05,115 --> 00:13:05,815
no problem there. Yes, no

279
00:13:05,815 --> 00:13:06,750
problem. And I just wanted to

280
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:07,718
say, and I'm glad I was able

281
00:13:07,718 --> 00:13:08,985
to say because I have

282
00:13:08,985 --> 00:13:11,540
personally not shared is all

283
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:13,957
the time. If I don't know

284
00:13:13,957 --> 00:13:15,859
something, a folly only

285
00:13:15,859 --> 00:13:17,270
councilmember Fife, the only

286
00:13:17,270 --> 00:13:19,427
councilmember. Why follow the

287
00:13:19,796 --> 00:13:20,463
lead of of the of the

288
00:13:20,463 --> 00:13:23,767
committee. But if I know on

289
00:13:23,767 --> 00:13:25,635
the speak on it, thank you for

290
00:13:25,635 --> 00:13:26,202
sharing that. If there are no

291
00:13:26,202 --> 00:13:28,202
comment, I apologize.

292
00:13:28,839 --> 00:13:29,573
Councilmember one of thank you

293
00:13:29,573 --> 00:13:32,877
and thank you so much for your

294
00:13:32,877 --> 00:13:34,177
work on this. I was just

295
00:13:34,177 --> 00:13:35,779
wondering since was doing a

296
00:13:35,779 --> 00:13:36,414
quick Google search, it looks

297
00:13:36,414 --> 00:13:37,581
like there's a number of

298
00:13:37,581 --> 00:13:39,616
federal programs like through

299
00:13:39,616 --> 00:13:41,384
the Small Business

300
00:13:41,384 --> 00:13:42,152
Administration, the Department

301
00:13:42,152 --> 00:13:44,152
of Transportation other

302
00:13:46,656 --> 00:13:47,591
federal programs are

303
00:13:47,591 --> 00:13:50,591
available. Are you planning to

304
00:13:51,495 --> 00:13:53,730
set us up to be able to either

305
00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:54,531
encourage some of those

306
00:13:54,531 --> 00:13:56,531
relationships are entrance

307
00:13:56,933 --> 00:13:57,668
into some of these federal

308
00:13:57,668 --> 00:14:00,937
programs. Yeah, the idea is to

309
00:14:00,937 --> 00:14:01,606
learn from the best programs

310
00:14:01,606 --> 00:14:03,707
that are out there. So it's

311
00:14:03,707 --> 00:14:04,407
certainly the federal level

312
00:14:04,407 --> 00:14:05,442
has to mentor programs. We

313
00:14:05,442 --> 00:14:06,143
also know that locally there's

314
00:14:06,143 --> 00:14:08,543
some other jurisdictions that

315
00:14:09,914 --> 00:14:10,847
have it. In so that this is a

316
00:14:10,847 --> 00:14:13,951
first time for us. We want to

317
00:14:13,951 --> 00:14:14,618
get it right. And also want to

318
00:14:14,618 --> 00:14:18,218
make sure that a program of

319
00:14:18,388 --> 00:14:19,890
all of us to incorporate. What

320
00:14:19,890 --> 00:14:20,258
we learn from this. But also

321
00:14:20,258 --> 00:14:22,192
what are some of the best

322
00:14:22,192 --> 00:14:23,928
practices from those other

323
00:14:23,928 --> 00:14:25,730
programs? We do want to have

324
00:14:25,730 --> 00:14:26,363
the best mentor appreciate

325
00:14:26,363 --> 00:14:29,320
program here in the city

326
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,268
Oakland. And we also want to

327
00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:30,934
set up the rhymes at our

328
00:14:30,934 --> 00:14:33,934
mentors and proteges to be

329
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:34,804
able to participate in these

330
00:14:34,804 --> 00:14:36,807
other ones. And hopefully that

331
00:14:36,807 --> 00:14:38,476
experience here helps open up

332
00:14:38,476 --> 00:14:40,745
more opportunities for them.

333
00:14:40,745 --> 00:14:44,147
Great. Thank you so much. I

334
00:14:44,147 --> 00:14:46,516
will move the item. I just

335
00:14:46,516 --> 00:14:48,518
want to say director sba, it

336
00:14:48,518 --> 00:14:50,860
has been a pleasure working

337
00:14:50,860 --> 00:14:53,591
with you on this project. I

338
00:14:53,591 --> 00:14:54,291
know your passion for ensuring

339
00:14:54,291 --> 00:14:56,626
that we are doing what we can

340
00:14:56,626 --> 00:14:57,295
in terms of moving the ball

341
00:14:57,295 --> 00:14:57,928
forward when it comes to

342
00:14:57,928 --> 00:15:00,328
programs like the mentor

343
00:15:02,833 --> 00:15:03,833
protege program in. You've

344
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:07,433
been a very good partner and

345
00:15:08,672 --> 00:15:09,673
making sure that my desire to.

346
00:15:09,673 --> 00:15:10,540
Just moved the disparity.

347
00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:11,420
Study results forward in a way

348
00:15:11,420 --> 00:15:13,442
that can be done

349
00:15:14,878 --> 00:15:15,879
administratively, but done

350
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:17,648
Cohesively can actually

351
00:15:17,648 --> 00:15:18,348
happen. So I just wanted to

352
00:15:18,348 --> 00:15:21,117
thank you because you've been

353
00:15:21,117 --> 00:15:21,952
a really good partner for with

354
00:15:21,952 --> 00:15:22,752
your expertise and your

355
00:15:22,752 --> 00:15:25,455
knowledge on these topics. I

356
00:15:25,455 --> 00:15:27,457
want appreciate you for that.

357
00:15:27,457 --> 00:15:29,659
Thank And I do want to state

358
00:15:29,659 --> 00:15:30,361
that I'm also very proud that

359
00:15:30,361 --> 00:15:32,629
first time that this will be

360
00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:34,365
realized is on the mlk

361
00:15:34,365 --> 00:15:36,700
streetscapes project in my

362
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,368
district with an Oakland born

363
00:15:38,368 --> 00:15:40,768
in raised native Stanley

364
00:15:42,939 --> 00:15:43,841
Cooper, who will be protege in

365
00:15:43,841 --> 00:15:47,441
this and this project. And I

366
00:15:47,812 --> 00:15:49,981
hope to see that even with the

367
00:15:49,981 --> 00:15:50,681
bi monthly, I believe reviews

368
00:15:50,681 --> 00:15:52,617
that will come back from how

369
00:15:52,617 --> 00:15:55,218
this project goes that we can

370
00:15:55,218 --> 00:15:55,852
also bring back to this

371
00:15:55,852 --> 00:15:58,252
committee. Maybe a couple

372
00:16:00,156 --> 00:16:01,192
times a year how the

373
00:16:01,192 --> 00:16:03,159
confrontation of this program

374
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:04,327
is working so that it can be

375
00:16:04,327 --> 00:16:05,996
applied to other businesses. I

376
00:16:05,996 --> 00:16:07,732
would like to see this mentor

377
00:16:07,732 --> 00:16:08,331
protege program. Where has

378
00:16:08,331 --> 00:16:10,731
this type of technical

379
00:16:10,767 --> 00:16:11,468
assistance for small

380
00:16:11,468 --> 00:16:13,504
businesses applied across the

381
00:16:13,504 --> 00:16:14,504
board in the city of Oakland

382
00:16:14,504 --> 00:16:17,140
for other small businesses who

383
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:19,609

whatever that I just feel like

387
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:26,249
minority businesses would be

388
00:16:26,249 --> 00:16:29,319
so much better served if we

389
00:16:29,319 --> 00:16:32,223
had the type of U.S. Support

390
00:16:32,223 --> 00:16:33,457

Thank you. Members of the

Council. My name is Jeremiah

408
00:17:05,755 --> 00:17:06,423
Jackson. I serve as a

409
00:17:06,423 --> 00:17:06,990
consultant to the National

410
00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:08,990
Association, minority

411
00:17:09,694 --> 00:17:10,460
contractors here in Oakland.

412
00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:13,460
And we really deeply deeply

413
00:17:14,331 --> 00:17:15,366
want to express our deep

414
00:17:15,366 --> 00:17:16,433
appreciation for this

415
00:17:16,433 --> 00:17:18,335
opportunity, but also our

416
00:17:18,335 --> 00:17:20,735
support for this particular

417
00:17:20,737 --> 00:17:21,438
grant opportunity. One of the

418
00:17:21,438 --> 00:17:23,440
things that we know as folks,

419
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,342
we've served the area for over

420
00:17:25,342 --> 00:17:26,420
60 years is that this is

421
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:27,944
critical for the development

422
00:17:27,944 --> 00:17:29,120
of small businesses for

423
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,581
contractors and for helping

424
00:17:30,581 --> 00:17:31,381
people to really be able to

425
00:17:31,381 --> 00:17:32,480
address the needs of the

426
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,448
region and particularly the

427
00:17:35,385 --> 00:17:36,187
city of Oakland. We have

428
00:17:36,187 --> 00:17:36,886
worked diligently working with

429
00:17:36,886 --> 00:17:39,286
tremendous experts and people

430
00:17:39,456 --> 00:17:41,258
with deep expertise as well as

431
00:17:41,258 --> 00:17:43,590
looking at best practice. Math

432
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:44,562
is a methodology for ensuring

433
00:17:44,562 --> 00:17:45,295
success and being able to

434
00:17:45,295 --> 00:17:48,499
categorize a success in such a

435
00:17:48,499 --> 00:17:49,132
way that the city of Oakland

436
00:17:49,132 --> 00:17:49,766
will be able to not only

437
00:17:49,766 --> 00:17:50,467
repeat our success in the

438
00:17:50,467 --> 00:17:53,603
future, but also been to grow

439
00:17:53,603 --> 00:17:54,304
a sustainable way. And so we

440
00:17:54,304 --> 00:17:55,390
really do recognize that this

441
00:17:55,390 --> 00:17:57,374
does address a number of these

442
00:17:57,374 --> 00:17:59,110
that the region has. The

443
00:17:59,110 --> 00:18:01,245
contractors have and that

444
00:18:01,245 --> 00:18:01,845
organization has as well as

445
00:18:01,845 --> 00:18:02,579
making sure the city of

446
00:18:02,579 --> 00:18:04,140
Oakland's able to address some

447
00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:04,714
of the some of his own

448
00:18:04,714 --> 00:18:05,650
priorities, particularly with

449
00:18:05,650 --> 00:18:08,650
those coming out of the 2026

450
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,860
disparity study. So Good

451
00:18:16,860 --> 00:18:18,129
afternoon. Thank you guys for

452
00:18:18,129 --> 00:18:20,464
allowing me to speak. I really

453
00:18:20,464 --> 00:18:21,164
appreciate this grant as well.

454
00:18:21,164 --> 00:18:23,967
And it's much needed. My name

455
00:18:23,967 --> 00:18:26,967
is Lynn Turner, co-founder of

456
00:18:27,671 --> 00:18:28,606
Construction Resource Center.

457
00:18:28,606 --> 00:18:30,308
And we teach the business side

458
00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:31,700
of construction. We get in the

459
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,343
weeds most of these companies

460
00:18:33,343 --> 00:18:34,211
teach from the 50,000 foot

461
00:18:34,211 --> 00:18:34,912
level because we're

462
00:18:34,912 --> 00:18:36,912
contractors being contractors

463
00:18:37,347 --> 00:18:40,347
understand. The good, bad and

464
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,530
ugly of con construction. We

465
00:18:42,530 --> 00:18:44,889
teach you how to build your

466
00:18:44,889 --> 00:18:46,220
foundation set up back office

467
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:46,757
and build a sustainable

468
00:18:46,757 --> 00:18:50,357
company. And so this will help

469
00:18:51,761 --> 00:18:52,830
us move these things forward

470
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:53,664
considering the disparity this

471
00:18:53,664 --> 00:18:56,299
is a small drop in the bucket

472
00:18:56,299 --> 00:18:59,899
of what we need. What headed

473
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:00,704
in the right direction. And so

474
00:19:00,704 --> 00:19:01,371
we appreciated and ask that

475
00:19:01,371 --> 00:19:04,371
you guys move this forward.

476
00:19:09,512 --> 00:19:12,916
Thank you. It says in the

477
00:19:12,916 --> 00:19:15,785
report that this project was

478
00:19:15,785 --> 00:19:17,954
codified in FEBRUARY of 2021.

479
00:19:17,954 --> 00:19:19,656
And for the first time we

480
00:19:19,656 --> 00:19:21,725
moving the project forward in

481
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:24,695
2026. Any reason for that? Oh,

482
00:19:24,695 --> 00:19:26,496
no, it's black people that's

483
00:19:26,496 --> 00:19:27,564
going to be who lot. Maybe

484
00:19:27,564 --> 00:19:30,701
that's it. It says also in the

485
00:19:30,701 --> 00:19:32,770
report, the city lacks

486
00:19:32,770 --> 00:19:34,770
standardize financial

487
00:19:36,373 --> 00:19:38,276
monitoring, too, and technical

488
00:19:38,276 --> 00:19:39,777
assistance to ensure that the

489
00:19:39,777 --> 00:19:41,777
mentor prodigy prodigy

490
00:19:42,346 --> 00:19:44,346
relationship, deliverables can

491
00:19:45,282 --> 00:19:47,682
bill meaningful capacity. And

492
00:19:48,552 --> 00:19:50,687
benefit the project. I mean,

493
00:19:50,687 --> 00:19:52,423
what does that mean? We don't

494
00:19:52,423 --> 00:19:55,558
have the tools to assess the

495
00:19:55,558 --> 00:19:57,328
project. Come on, guys. We got

496
00:19:57,328 --> 00:20:01,528
to do a little bit data. A

497
00:20:01,798 --> 00:20:04,198
whole lot better. And $100,000

498
00:20:05,269 --> 00:20:08,869
will allow for what? What What

499
00:20:09,106 --> 00:20:12,706
is it limited? That the How

500
00:20:15,879 --> 00:20:16,580
did come up with 100,000?

501
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:17,314
Thank you for your comments.

here today to present a

from homelessness to stable

595
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:12,924
allow the city to renew

00:23:55,532 --> 00:23:56,199
some of our most vulnerable

residents achieve long-term

621
00:23:58,703 --> 00:24:00,537
housing stability. This item

622
00:24:00,537 --> 00:24:02,380
is particularly time

623
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:02,673
sensitive. One of the time one

624
00:24:02,673 --> 00:24:05,730
of the existing agreement

625
00:24:05,709 --> 00:24:06,443
expires JULY 31st. And while

626
00:24:06,443 --> 00:24:09,346
the city has received informal

627
00:24:09,346 --> 00:24:10,547
notification from hood that

628
00:24:10,547 --> 00:24:11,248
these grants have been renewed

629
00:24:11,248 --> 00:24:13,648
formal grant agreements have

630
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,987
not yet been executed. This

631
00:24:16,987 --> 00:24:17,989
resolution ensures that we can

632
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:19,723
accept the funds when they

633
00:24:19,723 --> 00:24:20,358
become available and maintain

634
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:21,570
an intricate services for

635
00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:23,570
residents currently enrolled

636
00:24:24,594 --> 00:24:25,463
in these programs. The

637
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:27,831
resolution also authorizes the

638
00:24:27,831 --> 00:24:28,566
city administrator to utilize

639
00:24:28,566 --> 00:24:29,165
previously appropriated, state

640
00:24:29,165 --> 00:24:30,768
and local homelessness,

641
00:24:30,768 --> 00:24:32,203
funding of a temporary bridge.

642
00:24:32,203 --> 00:24:34,872
Should there be any delay in

643
00:24:34,872 --> 00:24:35,572
the federal award process?

644
00:24:35,572 --> 00:24:37,972
This flexibility is essential

645
00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:39,209
because without it programs

646
00:24:39,209 --> 00:24:39,844
will be forced to suspend

647
00:24:39,844 --> 00:24:41,844
operations while awaiting

648
00:24:43,413 --> 00:24:44,448
federal contract execution.

649
00:24:44,448 --> 00:24:45,449
Homelessness continues to be

650
00:24:45,449 --> 00:24:46,830
one of the most significant

651
00:24:46,830 --> 00:24:48,830
challenges facing Oakland

652
00:24:49,786 --> 00:24:51,355
primarily. Excuse me,

653
00:24:51,355 --> 00:24:51,988
preliminary results from the

654
00:24:51,988 --> 00:24:52,989
2026 point in time. Count

655
00:24:52,989 --> 00:24:54,158
indicated homelessness did

656
00:24:54,158 --> 00:24:56,158
decrease by approximately 20%

657
00:24:57,961 --> 00:24:58,662
since 2024. Well, that

658
00:24:58,662 --> 00:25:01,620
progress is encouraging. More

659
00:25:01,665 --> 00:25:02,632
than can residents continue to

660
00:25:02,632 --> 00:25:03,466
experience homelessness and

661
00:25:03,466 --> 00:25:06,466
the need for effective housing

662
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:07,537
interventions remains urgent.

663
00:25:07,537 --> 00:25:09,640
These continuum of care

664
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,640
programs are producing

665
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,675
measurable results during the

666
00:25:11,675 --> 00:25:14,750
most recent reporting period

667
00:25:14,878 --> 00:25:15,512
of fiscal year. 24 25 the

668
00:25:15,512 --> 00:25:17,512
funded program served 484

669
00:25:19,883 --> 00:25:21,883
individuals. Across 334

670
00:25:21,886 --> 00:25:23,886
households including 129

671
00:25:23,954 --> 00:25:24,522
children. More than half of

672
00:25:24,522 --> 00:25:25,121
the individual served

673
00:25:25,121 --> 00:25:27,521

00:25:28,758 --> 00:25:29,459

675
00:25:29,459 --> 00:25:30,193
the disappointing it impact.

676
00:25:30,193 --> 00:25:32,593
Homelessness continues to have

677
00:25:33,464 --> 00:25:34,331
cause black community.

678
00:25:34,331 --> 00:25:36,331
Collectively the program's

679
00:25:36,433 --> 00:25:38,369
achieved 73% exits to

680
00:25:38,369 --> 00:25:39,570

682
00:25:40,737 --> 00:25:42,239
that benchmark, including

691
00:25:55,585 --> 00:25:56,186
outcomes are the result of

intentional performance

694
00:26:00,690 --> 00:26:01,391
The city closely monitors all

710
00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:25,715
reserves the option to make

711
00:26:25,715 --> 00:26:28,715
changes in hud continuum of

712
00:26:28,819 --> 00:26:30,530

contracted a performance

717
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:38,328
outcomes. The oversight ensure

718
00:26:38,328 --> 00:26:38,895
that public funds are directed

719
00:26:38,895 --> 00:26:39,630
toward programs that

720
00:26:39,630 --> 00:26:42,300
demonstrate results in advance

721
00:26:42,732 --> 00:26:45,703
of city strategic goals. In

722
00:26:45,703 --> 00:26:46,937
total, these programs support

723
00:26:46,937 --> 00:26:47,504
186 housing beds and units

724
00:26:47,504 --> 00:26:49,504
throughout the opens

725
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,541
homelessness response system.

726
00:26:51,541 --> 00:26:52,208
If this resolution is not

727
00:26:52,208 --> 00:26:52,943
approved and funding is not

728
00:26:52,943 --> 00:26:55,343
renewed, those beds in

729
00:26:55,612 --> 00:26:56,479
searches could be lost,

730
00:26:56,479 --> 00:26:58,381
resulting in hundreds of local

731
00:26:58,381 --> 00:27:00,450
residents from returning to

732
00:27:00,450 --> 00:27:01,180
homelessness. The last of

733
00:27:01,180 --> 00:27:01,651
these programs would

734
00:27:01,651 --> 00:27:02,485
significantly impact our

735
00:27:02,485 --> 00:27:03,154
ability to maintain progress

736
00:27:03,154 --> 00:27:05,154
toward reducing unsheltered

737
00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:08,291
homelessness in Oakland. This

738
00:27:08,291 --> 00:27:08,892
recommendation is also

739
00:27:08,892 --> 00:27:10,892
directly lined recently

740
00:27:12,262 --> 00:27:13,563

00:27:13,563 --> 00:27:14,231
The program support key

742
00:27:14,231 --> 00:27:16,267
components of that plan,

743
00:27:16,267 --> 00:27:16,968
including interim housing,

00:27:32,182 --> 00:27:34,582
health outcomes in achieving

755
00:27:36,286 --> 00:27:36,920
long-term stability. In

756
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,654
addition, these programs

757
00:27:37,654 --> 00:27:40,540
advanced the city's commitment

758
00:27:40,157 --> 00:27:40,590
to racial equity. Homelessness

759
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:42,293
continues to

760
00:27:42,293 --> 00:27:42,926
disproportionately affect

761
00:27:42,926 --> 00:27:43,526
black oaklanders due to

762
00:27:43,526 --> 00:27:45,495
longstanding structural

763
00:27:45,495 --> 00:27:46,960
inequities, including historic

764
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,960
housing discrimination,

765
00:27:48,990 --> 00:27:49,933
redlining and barriers to

00:27:49,933 --> 00:27:50,601
economic opportunity

767
00:27:50,601 --> 00:27:52,136
sustaining proving housing

769
00:27:53,336 --> 00:27:54,204
effective ways we can address

770
00:27:54,204 --> 00:27:55,706
these disparities and improve

771
00:27:55,706 --> 00:27:57,706
outcomes residents restricting

772
00:27:57,708 --> 00:27:59,708
homelessness for those

773
00:27:59,810 --> 00:28:00,644
reasons. Staff respectfully

774
00:28:00,644 --> 00:28:01,244
recommends approving of

775
00:28:01,244 --> 00:28:03,130
resolution to accept an

776
00:28:03,130 --> 00:28:05,413
appropriate the continuum of

777
00:28:06,490 --> 00:28:06,751
care funding authorize the

778
00:28:06,751 --> 00:28:07,450
Associated Grants, agreements

779
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:08,286
establish contingency funding

780
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:09,552
authority and they've been a

781
00:28:09,552 --> 00:28:10,153
federal delays and all

782
00:28:10,153 --> 00:28:11,488
throughout is that any

783
00:28:11,488 --> 00:28:13,888
additional coc funding awards

784
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,959
during the term grant the

785
00:28:15,959 --> 00:28:16,626
grant term. Thank you for your

786
00:28:16,626 --> 00:28:17,361
time consideration. And I'm

787
00:28:17,361 --> 00:28:20,300
course available to answer any

788
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:20,697
questions. Thank you. Do we

789
00:28:20,697 --> 00:28:23,970
have any initial questions

790
00:28:23,634 --> 00:28:25,634
from the committee?

791
00:28:26,436 --> 00:28:28,436
Councilmember Houston? To

792
00:28:34,377 --> 00:28:34,978
change just a couple? See

793
00:28:34,978 --> 00:28:36,613
Covenant House. That's

794
00:28:36,613 --> 00:28:38,613
Covenant California Sea

795
00:28:39,649 --> 00:28:42,490
Western Ave Hollywood. Stanley

796
00:28:42,485 --> 00:28:45,485
and you will see Hollywood

797
00:28:46,756 --> 00:28:48,910
just just closed due to chair.

798
00:28:48,910 --> 00:28:50,491
There's no local companies

799
00:28:50,827 --> 00:28:53,597
that can do this work that

800
00:28:53,597 --> 00:28:54,298
like in Oakland because I see

801
00:28:54,298 --> 00:28:56,990
Covenant House this Covenant

802
00:28:56,990 --> 00:28:56,801
California. See Sally and Row.

803
00:28:56,801 --> 00:29:00,136
Know you did it research and

804
00:29:00,136 --> 00:29:00,837
things like that. The similar

805
00:29:00,837 --> 00:29:02,439
to what just happened in the

806
00:29:02,439 --> 00:29:06,390
meeting prior to this that we

807
00:29:08,511 --> 00:29:09,180
are going to Clinton out of

808
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:11,815
the Bay Area hiring people

809
00:29:11,815 --> 00:29:15,318
they can do body work cars in

810
00:29:15,318 --> 00:29:16,453
Oakland and we go on and

811
00:29:16,453 --> 00:29:19,453
Stanley going to Hayward. So

812
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:23,270
is it any for next time? Is it

813
00:29:23,270 --> 00:29:24,694
companies that can take the

814
00:29:24,694 --> 00:29:27,940
these companies is doing

815
00:29:28,465 --> 00:29:30,465
working because that $674,000

816
00:29:31,435 --> 00:29:32,135
the other one is 500 and so

817
00:29:32,135 --> 00:29:35,135
million dollars to the place

818
00:29:37,608 --> 00:29:39,109
in Hollywood. Yeah, if

819
00:29:39,109 --> 00:29:40,977
correct, Covenant House is in

820
00:29:40,977 --> 00:29:42,213
my district, they had grand

821
00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:44,150
reopening this year. They're

822
00:29:44,150 --> 00:29:47,150
near Jack London Square, I

823
00:29:48,718 --> 00:29:50,186
believe on Harrison. Regarding

824
00:29:50,186 --> 00:29:50,887
that particular location, I

825
00:29:50,887 --> 00:29:53,887
know that's based in Oakland,

826
00:29:56,460 --> 00:29:58,795
but show through the They do

827
00:29:58,795 --> 00:29:59,663
have places throughout the

828
00:29:59,663 --> 00:30:00,297
state of California, but this

829
00:30:00,297 --> 00:30:01,331
particular location is an

830
00:30:01,331 --> 00:30:03,731
Oakland warehouse in Oakland.

831
00:30:04,468 --> 00:30:05,702
Okay. Maybe this is out of

832
00:30:05,702 --> 00:30:08,573
Oakland, ok? So where might

833
00:30:08,573 --> 00:30:09,406
get in this at 13? 25

834
00:30:09,406 --> 00:30:12,242
northwest have. And we got one

835
00:30:12,242 --> 00:30:13,443
assembly at headquarters on

836
00:30:13,443 --> 00:30:14,144
Fairway. Us got the wrong

837
00:30:14,144 --> 00:30:17,744
addresses here has to do some

838
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:21,352
more research. I believe we

839
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:23,253
heard from so long was that

840
00:30:23,253 --> 00:30:24,354
they people throughout the

841
00:30:24,354 --> 00:30:25,990
state of California. But I

842
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:26,656
know they they do really good

843
00:30:26,656 --> 00:30:29,125
work around young people in

844
00:30:29,125 --> 00:30:29,860
the city of Oakland for

845
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:30,560
Covenant House. If there are

846
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,560
no other questions, we'll go

847
00:30:34,650 --> 00:30:35,165
to public speakers. When a

848
00:30:35,165 --> 00:30:36,534
your name. I apologize. MADAM

849
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:37,234
City clerk, we do have

850
00:30:37,234 --> 00:30:39,234
questions from Councilmember

851
00:30:41,371 --> 00:30:42,206
want. Thank the chair and

852
00:30:42,206 --> 00:30:45,206
thank you for your critical

853
00:30:45,909 --> 00:30:47,911
work on this. I'm just

854
00:30:47,911 --> 00:30:48,713
wondering, I think it's a

855
00:30:48,713 --> 00:30:49,446
double edged sword that are

856
00:30:49,446 --> 00:30:51,846
pit count. Demonstrated a 20%

857
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:56,653
reduction. Are we seeing

858
00:30:56,653 --> 00:30:58,188
similar reduction in our grant

859
00:30:58,188 --> 00:31:01,725
amount from hide as a result?

860
00:31:01,725 --> 00:31:04,125
Are they maintaining? The

861
00:31:04,694 --> 00:31:06,620
chair? Councilmember want?

862
00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:08,298
There is a slight decrease in

863
00:31:08,298 --> 00:31:08,965
funding that came through for

864
00:31:08,965 --> 00:31:09,667
the hoods. You'll as it was

865
00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:10,734
not as significant as others,

866
00:31:10,734 --> 00:31:14,334
but it was a decrease of

867
00:31:16,473 --> 00:31:17,508
sorts. Okay. And I. Have been

868
00:31:17,508 --> 00:31:18,875
following the new somewhat,

869
00:31:18,875 --> 00:31:19,543
but I know that there is a

870
00:31:19,543 --> 00:31:21,543
preliminary injunction that

871
00:31:23,146 --> 00:31:25,882
was issued by a federal judge

872
00:31:25,882 --> 00:31:26,717
because this administration

873
00:31:26,717 --> 00:31:29,717
wants to move away from

874
00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:32,590
housing. First, are you now?

875
00:31:32,590 --> 00:31:35,425
I'm noted that you have

876
00:31:35,425 --> 00:31:37,594
already preplanned for any

877
00:31:37,594 --> 00:31:39,229
gaps for just a delay in this

878
00:31:39,229 --> 00:31:39,930
grand. Do we have any plans

879
00:31:39,930 --> 00:31:43,530
for what MAY happen if beyond

880
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,710
this? Set of grants, if there

881
00:31:47,710 --> 00:31:50,473
MAY need to be planning in

882
00:31:50,473 --> 00:31:51,174
case this moose, the Trump

883
00:31:51,174 --> 00:31:51,875
administration is successful

884
00:31:51,875 --> 00:31:54,875
in moving away from housing.

885
00:31:56,246 --> 00:31:58,480
First. Threw the chair. This

886
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:58,682
particular funding source has

887
00:31:58,682 --> 00:31:59,417
already ready receive the

888
00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:00,830
award for it. But for the next

889
00:32:00,830 --> 00:32:02,830
iteration, we're currently

890
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:05,289
working on the application.

891
00:32:05,289 --> 00:32:06,456
There have been some changes,

892
00:32:06,456 --> 00:32:07,391
for example, prioritizing

893
00:32:07,391 --> 00:32:08,240
permanent housing in

894
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,658
transitional housing and

895
00:32:08,658 --> 00:32:11,580
moving away from someone.

896
00:32:11,294 --> 00:32:12,596
Every have rapid rehousing

897
00:32:12,596 --> 00:32:14,996
with our consultant working

898
00:32:15,398 --> 00:32:16,330
closely with our providers to

899
00:32:16,330 --> 00:32:16,733
potentially transition or

900
00:32:16,733 --> 00:32:17,401
start new programs or figure

901
00:32:17,401 --> 00:32:19,350
out a way to maintain those

902
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:20,938
beds. So to answer your

903
00:32:20,938 --> 00:32:21,572
question, we are working

904
00:32:21,572 --> 00:32:22,473
actively on ensuring that

905
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:24,641
those beds do not go offline

906
00:32:24,641 --> 00:32:25,743
and or we can continue in

907
00:32:25,743 --> 00:32:27,478
other capacity. Okay. Great.

908
00:32:27,478 --> 00:32:31,780
Thank you for that. And then

909
00:32:31,281 --> 00:32:34,881
finally, I wanted to know I

910
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,686
find the metric like exit like

911
00:32:36,686 --> 00:32:38,688
percent exits to permanent

912
00:32:38,688 --> 00:32:40,757
housing to be actually pretty

913
00:32:40,757 --> 00:32:41,591
opaque. Just because I think

914
00:32:41,591 --> 00:32:43,991
the term permanent housing

915
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:47,462
covers such a broad spectrum

916
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:51,468
of placements. And so. Can you

917
00:32:51,468 --> 00:32:52,870
just describe like qualitative

918
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:54,939
qualitatively? What what that

919
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:57,800
means? I think what's

920
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,475
important for me to

921
00:32:58,475 --> 00:32:59,143
distinguish this MAY not be

922
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:01,545
data that's available at a

923
00:33:01,545 --> 00:33:02,747
quantitative level. But

924
00:33:02,747 --> 00:33:03,613
whether we are actually

925
00:33:03,613 --> 00:33:06,130
placing are these providers

926
00:33:06,984 --> 00:33:09,984
are placing people in 2. Are

927
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:12,155
they in a market? Rental house

928
00:33:12,155 --> 00:33:14,158
was a rental assistant. Is it

929
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:15,692
short term or the psh, which

930
00:33:15,692 --> 00:33:18,692
requires packs, you know, just

931
00:33:19,362 --> 00:33:20,300
because I think it is

932
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:21,698
important night distinguish

933
00:33:21,698 --> 00:33:22,432
and measure success of someone

934
00:33:22,432 --> 00:33:24,234
who's actually able to be in a

935
00:33:24,234 --> 00:33:26,360
market rate housing simply

936
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,104
because then it opens up a

937
00:33:28,104 --> 00:33:31,704
spot for somebody who has like

938
00:33:31,942 --> 00:33:33,900
a disability to be into psh.

939
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:33,710
And then finally, I think just

940
00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:36,513
a metric that's important to

941
00:33:36,513 --> 00:33:37,514
capture is also just the

942
00:33:37,514 --> 00:33:41,114
length of time that they're in

943
00:33:41,184 --> 00:33:42,453
these transitional unit since

944
00:33:42,453 --> 00:33:43,453
they MAY have been 100% exit

945
00:33:43,453 --> 00:33:44,655
to permanent housing, but

946
00:33:44,655 --> 00:33:46,489
maybe the length of time is 5

947
00:33:46,489 --> 00:33:47,257
years. You know, so just to

948
00:33:47,257 --> 00:33:47,959
exaggerate. But I think it

949
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:51,559
just be important to get that

950
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:55,399
data. Thank you where those

951
00:33:55,399 --> 00:33:57,330
questions that requesting a

952
00:33:57,330 --> 00:33:57,701
response to on the just

953
00:33:57,701 --> 00:34:00,701
something you would like to

954
00:34:04,874 --> 00:34:06,510
see an upcoming report. I

955
00:34:06,510 --> 00:34:07,410
think it would be good to hear

956
00:34:07,410 --> 00:34:08,279
response, but yes, would be

957
00:34:08,279 --> 00:34:11,279
good to see that future

958
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:13,583
reporting. And I know that the

959
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:14,317
metrics this is an ongoing

960
00:34:14,317 --> 00:34:17,210
conversation that we've can be

961
00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:18,188
difficult to capture, but to

962
00:34:18,188 --> 00:34:19,323
the extent that we can it be

963
00:34:19,323 --> 00:34:20,323
great to see that and would

964
00:34:20,323 --> 00:34:21,292
love to hear your thoughts on

965
00:34:21,292 --> 00:34:23,692
whether that those are

966
00:34:25,795 --> 00:34:27,665
metrics. It can captured.

967
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:28,331
Threw the chair. Yes. So we

968
00:34:28,331 --> 00:34:29,900
leverage h m I s and so to

969
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:31,702
your point relates to

970
00:34:31,702 --> 00:34:32,303
permanent housing, it does

971
00:34:32,303 --> 00:34:33,370
vary. There's different

972
00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:33,770
categories in which a provider

973
00:34:33,770 --> 00:34:36,770
can select, including the ones

974
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:37,909
that you mentioned. And so it

975
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:38,241
does allow us to go in today

976
00:34:38,241 --> 00:34:38,410
to my a#

977
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:40,410
#

978
00:34:41,544 --> 00:34:42,178
and pull which ones

979
00:34:42,178 --> 00:34:45,582
place where so it is very

980
00:34:45,582 --> 00:34:46,983
broad to answer your question.

981
00:34:46,983 --> 00:34:47,751
And then as it relates your

982
00:34:47,751 --> 00:34:48,418
second question, I think was

983
00:34:48,418 --> 00:34:49,986
on numbers that have to get

984
00:34:49,986 --> 00:34:53,224
back to you on that. But I

985
00:34:53,224 --> 00:34:55,191
think for the most part, it is

986
00:34:55,191 --> 00:34:55,893
a little difficult to measure

987
00:34:55,893 --> 00:34:56,626
be able to give you like a

988
00:34:56,626 --> 00:34:57,994
full detail because there's so

989
00:34:57,994 --> 00:34:59,262
many categories. But

990
00:34:59,262 --> 00:35:00,640
ultimately, if someone is

991
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,699
removed from homelessness as

992
00:35:01,699 --> 00:35:03,400
it relates to being in the

993
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,169
housing queue and or no longer

994
00:35:06,169 --> 00:35:07,203
considered an house in that,

995
00:35:07,203 --> 00:35:07,871
particularly in which he

996
00:35:07,871 --> 00:35:09,874
became a part of the cube,

997
00:35:09,874 --> 00:35:11,908
they are now removed from it

998
00:35:11,908 --> 00:35:14,308
permanent submitted no longer

999
00:35:18,448 --> 00:35:19,717
unhoused help questions. And

1000
00:35:19,717 --> 00:35:21,552
then in terms of the

1001
00:35:21,552 --> 00:35:22,552
measurement of length of time,

1002
00:35:22,552 --> 00:35:23,253
just because throughput is an

1003
00:35:23,253 --> 00:35:25,653
ongoing conversation right of

1004
00:35:26,923 --> 00:35:28,159
increasing that. Chair that

1005
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:29,961
actually is a metric that we

1006
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:31,194
can track and I can get that

1007
00:35:31,194 --> 00:35:33,960
data to be a at great. Thank

1008
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,898
you so much. What we can do is

1009
00:35:34,898 --> 00:35:35,632
we can work together with the

1010
00:35:35,632 --> 00:35:36,633
city administrator's office in

1011
00:35:36,633 --> 00:35:37,434
your office to figure out

1012
00:35:37,434 --> 00:35:39,834
where these metrics should

1013
00:35:41,171 --> 00:35:41,938
show up and reports so that

1014
00:35:41,938 --> 00:35:42,540
their timely and responsive to

1015
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:44,474
what the council member

1016
00:35:44,474 --> 00:35:46,244
saying, but also in alignment

1017
00:35:46,244 --> 00:35:48,946
with the work that you're

1018
00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:50,146
already producing to bring to

1019
00:35:50,146 --> 00:35:51,148
committee. So thank you for

1020
00:35:51,148 --> 00:35:55,286
all your work on and we can

1021
00:35:55,286 --> 00:35:55,952
move to our public speakers.

1022
00:35:55,952 --> 00:35:56,620
Want call your name, please

1023
00:35:56,620 --> 00:35:59,230

1024
00:35:59,230 --> 00:36:00,900
participating via zoom. Please

1025
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:02,580
raise your hands. You're using

1026
00:36:02,580 --> 00:36:05,580
a dignified Blair Beekman and

1027
00:36:06,196 --> 00:36:09,196
with the saga. Still waiting

1028
00:36:11,735 --> 00:36:12,903
for the woman to fill up. So

1029
00:36:12,903 --> 00:36:15,172
when I heard that the open

1030
00:36:15,172 --> 00:36:17,742
House and authority hit list,

1031
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:18,508
the 5, a waiting list to 5,000

1032
00:36:18,508 --> 00:36:22,108
was the waiting list for all

1033
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:24,613
of these different entities.

1034
00:36:24,781 --> 00:36:25,415
So the Harry Robinson center

1035
00:36:25,415 --> 00:36:27,415
only can accommodate 137

1036
00:36:28,452 --> 00:36:32,520
people at a time. The Hollins

1037
00:36:33,390 --> 00:36:35,390
150, 180 covenant House 60 at

1038
00:36:36,459 --> 00:36:37,160
a time East Oakland Community

1039
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,160

1040
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:45,567
time. East Oakland Community

Project, 7 News and 23

1042
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:49,941
families. So and then the

1043
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,941
Oakland Homeless youth

1044
00:36:53,543 --> 00:36:55,543
collaboration. 31 slots. We

1045
00:36:58,114 --> 00:37:00,514
have very limited. Capacities.

1046
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:04,252
For service. So whats the

1047
00:37:06,323 --> 00:37:07,290
waiting lists. What's the

1048
00:37:07,290 --> 00:37:08,159
waiting this? How many people

1049
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:10,727
need get accommodations in a

1050
00:37:10,727 --> 00:37:14,327
waiting to get it? And what's

1051
00:37:19,369 --> 00:37:20,470
the solution? Thank you.

no questions from the

1260
00:44:25,730 --> 00:44:28,565

was a great report. Thank

1264
00:44:45,115 --> 00:44:47,183
Blair Beekman in Mississauga.

1265
00:44:47,183 --> 00:44:49,190
So this is a resolution from

1266
00:44:49,190 --> 00:44:51,419
Grand JANUARY. The first 2026

1267
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:54,689
through DECEMBER, the 31st.

1268
00:44:55,250 --> 00:44:55,860
2026. Is that what we seeking

1269
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:58,260
approval, something that was

1270
00:44:59,696 --> 00:45:01,531
started in JANUARY. Okay. So

1271
00:45:01,531 --> 00:45:05,131
the board is supposed to be

1272
00:45:06,690 --> 00:45:06,803
one 3rd elected officials,

1273
00:45:06,803 --> 00:45:07,437
one-third representatives from

1274
00:45:07,437 --> 00:45:08,720
the low-income community,

1275
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:08,738
one-third of the private

1276
00:45:08,738 --> 00:45:11,138
sector leaders who selects

1277
00:45:13,677 --> 00:45:15,512
this board. They selected.

1278
00:45:15,512 --> 00:45:19,112
Okay. Going on to the next

1279
00:45:19,416 --> 00:45:20,500
concern. The next concern is I

1280
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:21,418
noticed when I've been a

1281
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:22,118
couple young meeting, just

1282
00:45:22,118 --> 00:45:24,755
been a lot of time traveling

1283
00:45:24,755 --> 00:45:27,755
and going to conferences. How

1284
00:45:31,596 --> 00:45:32,295
much money is spent on that?

1285
00:45:32,295 --> 00:45:35,895
All right. No answers to that

1286
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:37,267
one. Know that, you know,

1287
00:45:37,267 --> 00:45:37,935
suppose. And to me, I just

1288
00:45:37,935 --> 00:45:40,935
like this like this moment

1289
00:45:41,973 --> 00:45:43,373
where everybody says nothing.

1290
00:45:43,373 --> 00:45:45,977
Is funny to me. Ok. And then

1291
00:45:45,977 --> 00:45:49,577
the last thing what? What is

1292
00:45:56,687 --> 00:45:57,420
the breakdown? Thank you for

1293
00:45:57,420 --> 00:45:59,820
your comment. Mississauga move

1294
00:46:01,391 --> 00:46:02,125

1295
00:46:02,125 --> 00:46:05,725

1297
00:46:25,649 --> 00:46:26,350
Excuse me.

1298
00:46:26,350 --> 00:46:29,950
Did you fill out a speaker's

1299
00:46:34,991 --> 00:46:35,693
card? And I'm sorry.

1300
00:46:35,693 --> 00:46:36,393
Unfortunately, unfortunately

1301
00:46:36,393 --> 00:46:39,993
will be up to discretion for

1302
00:46:40,131 --> 00:46:42,933
the chair. I will speak to

1303
00:46:42,933 --> 00:46:43,633

00:47:01,850 --> 00:47:01,751
see a nicu. So that concludes

1314
00:47:01,751 --> 00:47:04,151
our public because right 3

1315
00:47:08,425 --> 00:47:10,927
item, 5. Thank u MR. Ma, if

1316
00:47:10,927 --> 00:47:11,595
you could respond to a couple

1317
00:47:11,595 --> 00:47:13,798
of the questions and I will

1318
00:47:13,798 --> 00:47:14,764
lay them out just in terms of

1319
00:47:14,764 --> 00:47:17,468
how the board has selected.

1320
00:47:17,468 --> 00:47:18,435
And I do want to say for the

1321
00:47:18,435 --> 00:47:21,435
public, there are people who

1322
00:47:21,438 --> 00:47:23,730
come to these meetings

1323
00:47:23,730 --> 00:47:23,740
frequently understand what the

1324
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:24,874
rules of procedure are. But

1325
00:47:24,874 --> 00:47:27,510
there's some people who don't

1326
00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:29,120
know that unless an item is

1327
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,120
agenda aisd the committee nor

1328
00:47:32,917 --> 00:47:33,883
staff can respond to questions

1329
00:47:33,883 --> 00:47:35,952
and less. It is the purview of

1330
00:47:35,952 --> 00:47:38,121
the chair. So I'm asking as

1331
00:47:38,121 --> 00:47:39,489
the chair for you to respond

1332
00:47:39,489 --> 00:47:43,426
to how boards how the board is

1333
00:47:43,426 --> 00:47:44,427
selected with the Tri Party

1334
00:47:44,427 --> 00:47:45,129
makeup of the individuals that

1335
00:47:45,129 --> 00:47:48,699
sit on the board. If you can

1336
00:47:48,699 --> 00:47:51,699
answer that question. So from

1337
00:47:53,104 --> 00:47:54,571
my knowledge, there is an

1338
00:47:54,571 --> 00:47:55,839
application process and which

1339
00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:58,239
the prospective board members

1340
00:47:58,708 --> 00:48:00,176
aren't allowed to apply. And

1341
00:48:00,176 --> 00:48:00,810
some of our board members have

1342
00:48:00,810 --> 00:48:03,648
been on a board for many

1343
00:48:03,648 --> 00:48:06,648
years. And that data is

1344
00:48:09,786 --> 00:48:10,420
reviewed. Were I would assume

1345
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,890
or cs pg team as well as

1346
00:48:13,890 --> 00:48:15,192
potential at the state level.

1347
00:48:15,192 --> 00:48:17,294
And then we are given the

1348
00:48:17,294 --> 00:48:18,295
opportunity to review and

1349
00:48:18,295 --> 00:48:20,864
weigh in on Those selections

1350
00:48:20,864 --> 00:48:21,598
based off of the

1351
00:48:21,598 --> 00:48:23,998
recommendations from the state

1352
00:48:26,736 --> 00:48:28,105
in from the city. I believe I

1353
00:48:28,105 --> 00:48:29,390
chose my representative. I

1354
00:48:29,390 --> 00:48:31,439
have a representative that

1355
00:48:31,842 --> 00:48:33,544
serves on the board time to

1356
00:48:33,544 --> 00:48:35,879
who consults with me on the

1357
00:48:35,879 --> 00:48:37,315
meetings gives me updates and

1358
00:48:37,315 --> 00:48:40,584
tells me what I need to do as

1359
00:48:40,584 --> 00:48:41,251
a representative and so I know

1360
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:44,851
as a council member, I was

1361
00:48:44,988 --> 00:48:45,590
able to make that selection.

1362
00:48:45,590 --> 00:48:48,590
So I hope that answered

1363
00:48:49,590 --> 00:48:50,600
answers. The question. And at

1364
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:50,694

1486
00:52:58,308 --> 00:52:59,576
was very clear. Transportation

1487
00:52:59,576 --> 00:53:02,445

1492
00:53:10,620 --> 00:53:11,421

1521
00:54:06,977 --> 00:54:08,977

pharmacies and other

1525
00:54:12,682 --> 00:54:14,682
destinations that support

1526
00:54:16,419 --> 00:54:18,419
healthy, independent living.

1527
00:54:18,422 --> 00:54:20,658
Customer satisfaction is to

1528
00:54:20,658 --> 00:54:21,891
remain high, MR. Participants

1529
00:54:21,891 --> 00:54:22,993
consent Lee tell us that

1530
00:54:22,993 --> 00:54:24,610
opened helps them maintain

1531
00:54:24,610 --> 00:54:26,129
independence and age safely in

1532
00:54:26,129 --> 00:54:28,399
the community. At the same

1533
00:54:28,399 --> 00:54:29,132
time, the identify

1534
00:54:29,132 --> 00:54:30,701
opportunities for improvement,

1535
00:54:30,701 --> 00:54:32,969
including better on time

1536
00:54:32,969 --> 00:54:33,803
performance expended,

1537
00:54:33,803 --> 00:54:35,803
accessible transportation,

1538
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:37,839
improved communication, easier

1539
00:54:37,841 --> 00:54:39,210
access to services. This in

1540
00:54:39,210 --> 00:54:41,279
public be part of our ongoing

1541
00:54:41,279 --> 00:54:41,978
quality improvement

1542
00:54:41,978 --> 00:54:44,378
conversations staff will have

1543
00:54:44,949 --> 00:54:45,916
with our service providers.

1544
00:54:45,916 --> 00:54:47,617
Looking ahead, one of our

1545
00:54:47,617 --> 00:54:48,318
priorities this year is

1546
00:54:48,318 --> 00:54:50,718
improving. Knew how residents

1547
00:54:52,622 --> 00:54:54,524
access open services last year

1548
00:54:54,524 --> 00:54:55,358
we piloted relocation of our

1549
00:54:55,358 --> 00:54:56,826
customer service desk from

1550
00:54:56,826 --> 00:54:59,129
down here downtown Oakland

1551
00:54:59,129 --> 00:55:00,964
senior center downtown

1552
00:55:00,964 --> 00:55:02,700
Oakland, one 50 our office

1553
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:03,668
here at one, 50 Frank Ogawa

1554
00:55:03,668 --> 00:55:04,268
Plaza and move it to the

1555
00:55:04,268 --> 00:55:06,268
downtown Oakland senior

1556
00:55:06,903 --> 00:55:09,239
Center. We have seen an uptick

1557
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,839
in the number of new enrollees

1558
00:55:13,643 --> 00:55:14,312
and people who are. Seeing the

1559
00:55:14,312 --> 00:55:14,945
downtown Oakland Co for the

1560
00:55:14,945 --> 00:55:17,345
first time become members

1561
00:55:17,781 --> 00:55:18,950
because they've never been

1562
00:55:18,950 --> 00:55:21,318
there before. This suspension

1563
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:22,180
brings enrollment eligibility

1564
00:55:22,180 --> 00:55:22,587
determination, transportation

1565
00:55:22,587 --> 00:55:23,653
information and other

1566
00:55:23,653 --> 00:55:25,653
individuals, customer

1567
00:55:26,122 --> 00:55:27,624
assistance closer to where

1568
00:55:27,624 --> 00:55:28,558
residents lives. And we are

1569
00:55:28,558 --> 00:55:30,600
going. We replicating this

1570
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,600
model for east Oakland. This

1571
00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:34,966
fiscal year. We're also

1572
00:55:34,966 --> 00:55:37,366
working with the Mayor's

1573
00:55:37,802 --> 00:55:40,202
Commission on Aging on

1574
00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:43,174
developing a 5 year plan. And

1575
00:55:43,174 --> 00:55:45,141
transportation is one of the

1576
00:55:45,141 --> 00:55:46,811
highest need that was

1577
00:55:46,811 --> 00:55:47,545
identified in a needs

1578
00:55:47,545 --> 00:55:49,946
assessment has had mention and

1579
00:55:49,946 --> 00:55:52,346
the Mayor's Commission on

1580
00:55:52,649 --> 00:55:53,650
Aging developed and had stood

1581
00:55:53,650 --> 00:55:54,285
up a transportation

1582
00:55:54,285 --> 00:55:56,285
subcommittee that started

1583
00:55:57,554 --> 00:55:58,188
meeting 2 months ago. This

1584
00:55:58,188 --> 00:55:58,855
subcommittee will inform

1585
00:55:58,855 --> 00:56:00,291
what's going on in the

1586
00:56:00,291 --> 00:56:01,291
community and will help us

1587
00:56:01,291 --> 00:56:03,691
identify strategies to fill

1588
00:56:04,861 --> 00:56:06,620
the gaps in services specially

1589
00:56:06,620 --> 00:56:07,297
based on what we have heard

1590
00:56:07,297 --> 00:56:08,865
from the community members in

1591
00:56:08,865 --> 00:56:11,134
east Oakland, Deep East

1592
00:56:11,134 --> 00:56:11,735
Oakland, we MAY have

1593
00:56:11,735 --> 00:56:12,436
transportation services

1594
00:56:12,436 --> 00:56:13,169
available, but these services

1595
00:56:13,169 --> 00:56:16,169
are not reaching East. Oakland

1596
00:56:17,874 --> 00:56:20,274
residents. In closing the

1597
00:56:20,410 --> 00:56:22,810
fiscal year 26 27 program plan

1598
00:56:23,514 --> 00:56:24,381
reflects the voices of Oakland

1599
00:56:24,381 --> 00:56:25,160
residents response directly to

1600
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,716
transportation priorities

1601
00:56:26,716 --> 00:56:28,752
identified through the cities

1602
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:30,530
age from the 2 planning

1603
00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:33,530
process and positions open to

1604
00:56:33,791 --> 00:56:34,891
continue delivering equitable,

1605
00:56:34,891 --> 00:56:35,592
accessible and responsive

1606
00:56:35,592 --> 00:56:37,592
transportation services to

1607
00:56:37,595 --> 00:56:39,496
older adults and persons with

1608
00:56:39,496 --> 00:56:41,431
disabilities. Therefore, staff

1609
00:56:41,431 --> 00:56:42,660
respectfully request that the

1610
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:43,333
life enrichment committee

1611
00:56:43,333 --> 00:56:45,302
approved the proposed

1612
00:56:45,302 --> 00:56:46,337
resolution. And for with this

1613
00:56:46,337 --> 00:56:47,537
item to the full City Council

1614
00:56:47,537 --> 00:56:48,539
for consideration and approval

1615
00:56:48,539 --> 00:56:51,539
of the consent calendar. Thank

1616
00:56:52,142 --> 00:56:54,378
you. And happy to answer any

1617
00:56:54,378 --> 00:56:54,978
questions. Thank you for your

1618
00:56:54,978 --> 00:56:55,712
presentation. Are there

1619
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:58,712
comments or questions from the

1620
00:57:02,687 --> 00:57:03,386
Councilmember Houston? Do She

1621
00:57:03,386 --> 00:57:05,786
something a little troubling

1622
00:57:07,725 --> 00:57:08,725
to me. He said not reach an

1623
00:57:08,725 --> 00:57:10,628
east Oakland residents. Can

1624
00:57:10,628 --> 00:57:13,196
you explain that a little

1625
00:57:13,196 --> 00:57:16,333
deeper? And I have a couple

1626
00:57:16,333 --> 00:57:17,968
questions on might have this

1627
00:57:17,968 --> 00:57:18,702
wrong to about these addresses

1628
00:57:18,702 --> 00:57:19,837
because that's the first thing

1629
00:57:19,837 --> 00:57:20,503
I look at is addresses of our

1630
00:57:20,503 --> 00:57:23,503
providers. So when you see

1631
00:57:26,776 --> 00:57:27,444
kid. That region. My east

1632
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:29,512
Oakland residents. Can you

1633
00:57:29,512 --> 00:57:32,512
explain at 11 raid on that

1634
00:57:33,216 --> 00:57:35,180
threw the chair into

1635
00:57:35,180 --> 00:57:37,870
councilmember Houston when we

1636
00:57:37,870 --> 00:57:39,991
did our listening sessions and

1637
00:57:39,991 --> 00:57:40,591
also when we did the surveys,

1638
00:57:40,591 --> 00:57:43,591
what we found from our

1639
00:57:45,295 --> 00:57:45,895
residents is that. We have

1640
00:57:45,895 --> 00:57:46,496
transportation such as

1641
00:57:46,496 --> 00:57:49,496
example, taxi and go go

1642
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,680
grandparents, which is. Being

1643
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,170
able to Britain lift without

1644
00:57:53,170 --> 00:57:53,870
having them out. So you just

1645
00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:54,571
call a phone number. So it's

1646
00:57:54,571 --> 00:57:57,874
very easy for older adults to

1647
00:57:57,874 --> 00:58:00,510
be able to schedule these

1648
00:58:00,510 --> 00:58:04,110
rides. Left what we have found

1649
00:58:06,118 --> 00:58:06,816
is that. When they call for

1650
00:58:06,816 --> 00:58:09,216
service suddenly their order

1651
00:58:10,388 --> 00:58:12,788
gets canceled. Without any

1652
00:58:13,390 --> 00:58:14,191
reason. Repeatedly that

1653
00:58:14,191 --> 00:58:16,159
happens. So we know that gap,

1654
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:18,129
even though these services are

1655
00:58:18,129 --> 00:58:19,290
available, some of our

1656
00:58:19,290 --> 00:58:20,598
providers members, perception

1657
00:58:20,598 --> 00:58:22,266
of the unsafe neighborhoods

1658
00:58:22,266 --> 00:58:25,266
that, you know, people think

1659
00:58:27,404 --> 00:58:29,506
Oakland is they don't go and

1660
00:58:29,506 --> 00:58:30,373
we need to think outside the

1661
00:58:30,373 --> 00:58:32,773
box. You know, these

1662
00:58:33,109 --> 00:58:34,311
transportation, Uber, Lyft and

1663
00:58:34,311 --> 00:58:36,146
other services we have

1664
00:58:36,146 --> 00:58:37,113
available. We need to think

1665
00:58:37,113 --> 00:58:38,549
outside of the box and figure

1666
00:58:38,549 --> 00:58:41,318
out a different way of filling

1667
00:58:41,318 --> 00:58:42,385
that gap. We actually have

1668
00:58:42,385 --> 00:58:43,821
testimony, one of our

1669
00:58:43,821 --> 00:58:46,221
commissioners got off the

1670
00:58:47,557 --> 00:58:48,259
airport in east Oakland. She

1671
00:58:48,259 --> 00:58:51,859
was trying to get bring lift

1672
00:58:53,763 --> 00:58:54,498
and she had her. Her ride

1673
00:58:54,498 --> 00:58:57,498
canceled several times and was

1674
00:58:58,335 --> 00:58:59,360
not able to get a ride. So.

1675
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:00,204
You know, anecdotally, that's

1676
00:59:00,204 --> 00:59:01,304
what we are hearing. So I

1677
00:59:01,304 --> 00:59:04,342
think what we need to do is

1678
00:59:04,342 --> 00:59:05,410
really figure out other input

1679
00:59:05,410 --> 00:59:08,410
from the community. What MAY

1680
00:59:08,713 --> 00:59:10,847
be others. Strategies that we

1681
00:59:10,847 --> 00:59:11,915
can implement and working with

1682
00:59:11,915 --> 00:59:12,950
the subcommittee of the

1683
00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:14,150
Transportation of the Mayor's

1684
00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:15,620
Commission on Aging will hope

1685
00:59:15,620 --> 00:59:16,319
to be able to identify some of

1686
00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:19,319
the strategies to fill those

1687
00:59:24,610 --> 00:59:24,728
gaps. That's that's pretty.

1688
00:59:24,728 --> 00:59:26,728
Heart-wrenching. Immediate,

1689
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,300
not. Seniors in my folks

1690
00:59:30,167 --> 00:59:33,167
scene. Benefiting from this in

1691
00:59:33,503 --> 00:59:34,238
Deep East Oakland. So wish us

1692
00:59:34,238 --> 00:59:35,138
suggested can I help? How can

1693
00:59:35,138 --> 00:59:38,738
the council help? How can the

1694
00:59:42,113 --> 00:59:43,413
public what can we do? Because

1695
00:59:43,413 --> 00:59:44,115
must-see news, one of the most

1696
00:59:44,115 --> 00:59:46,816
important things to me. What

1697
00:59:46,816 --> 00:59:48,985
can we do? Yeah. Threw the

1698
00:59:48,985 --> 00:59:50,870
chair. One of the things that

1699
00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:52,155
we're thinking about working

1700
00:59:52,155 --> 00:59:53,990
with the subcommittee on

1701
00:59:53,990 --> 00:59:55,425
Transportation is issue a

1702
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:57,825
request for qualifications or

1703
00:59:59,300 --> 01:00:01,932
some kind of an rfp this year

1704
01:00:01,932 --> 01:00:04,167
before the closing of the

1705
01:00:04,167 --> 01:00:05,902
calendar year and entertain

1706
01:00:05,902 --> 01:00:06,804
any ideas that could be from a

1707
01:00:06,804 --> 01:00:09,941
nonprofit who want to run band

1708
01:00:09,941 --> 01:00:10,840
program friends. And just for

1709
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,609
East Oakland, anything happy

1710
01:00:12,609 --> 01:00:14,145
to hear any ideas from the

1711
01:00:14,145 --> 01:00:14,844
community. And we're hoping

1712
01:00:14,844 --> 01:00:17,844
that through this rfq process

1713
01:00:18,882 --> 01:00:21,251
that we will find. Other ways

1714
01:00:21,251 --> 01:00:24,851
of filling that gap, any could

1715
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:26,690
be community based. That sends

1716
01:00:26,690 --> 01:00:28,258
positive. Yes. One more

1717
01:00:28,258 --> 01:00:30,694
question in a move on. I'm not

1718
01:00:30,694 --> 01:00:32,562
sure if I've got this right.

1719
01:00:32,562 --> 01:00:35,432
Got it wrong just a minute ago

1720
01:00:35,432 --> 01:00:39,320
when it came to. The locations

1721
01:00:42,839 --> 01:00:45,839
of these companies. New Jersey

1722
01:00:46,911 --> 01:00:49,311
Davenport Timberline. New work

1723
01:00:53,985 --> 01:00:55,985
San Francisco. 5 Rivers.

1724
01:00:57,990 --> 01:00:59,490
Transit is in New Jersey.

1725
01:00:59,490 --> 01:01:02,490
Quality transit is in Florida.

1726
01:01:03,493 --> 01:01:04,428
Getting this wrong. Yes, some

1727
01:01:04,428 --> 01:01:08,280
of these are locals. Some of

1728
01:01:08,399 --> 01:01:09,633
these are not so 5 rivers is a

1729
01:01:09,633 --> 01:01:10,367
local Oakland. This is our

1730
01:01:10,367 --> 01:01:13,367
taxi service company that been

1731
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,472
around. For 30, 40 years here

1732
01:01:18,909 --> 01:01:20,430
in Oakland. And so that's

1733
01:01:20,430 --> 01:01:21,245
local. This is also corporate

1734
01:01:21,245 --> 01:01:24,245
headquarters is in New Jersey.

1735
01:01:25,316 --> 01:01:26,160
Okay. Okay. Talk to my

1736
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,616
colleagues to see how we can

1737
01:01:30,860 --> 01:01:31,187
do to help, you know, help me

1738
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:32,256
out. I need some help. Talk to

1739
01:01:32,256 --> 01:01:32,956
Want to see how we get

1740
01:01:32,956 --> 01:01:36,556
must-see news to get to Carol

1741
01:01:37,862 --> 01:01:39,429
k. Respects. I want to I want

1742
01:01:39,429 --> 01:01:40,765
to get an understanding. So is

1743
01:01:40,765 --> 01:01:41,831
it just East Oakland where

1744
01:01:41,831 --> 01:01:44,231
these challenges are happening

1745
01:01:44,835 --> 01:01:46,804
for seniors with their

1746
01:01:46,804 --> 01:01:48,672
transportation and to be

1747
01:01:48,672 --> 01:01:50,741
clear, the senior that was not

1748
01:01:50,741 --> 01:01:52,742
able to get a ride from the

1749
01:01:52,742 --> 01:01:53,476
airport was using a private

1750
01:01:53,476 --> 01:01:54,378
rideshare service. Not not one

1751
01:01:54,378 --> 01:01:56,778
of our contractors, correct,

1752
01:01:58,140 --> 01:01:59,349
correct? That's correct. And

1753
01:01:59,349 --> 01:02:02,349
do our contractors work after

1754
01:02:03,540 --> 01:02:03,720
hours. Then finally East

1755
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,720
Oakland. The only place it

1756
01:02:09,590 --> 01:02:11,161
have any challenges not

1757
01:02:11,161 --> 01:02:12,996
necessarily. So when we went

1758
01:02:12,996 --> 01:02:15,980
to the Fruitvale area, we

1759
01:02:15,980 --> 01:02:16,200
talked to the folks over

1760
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,302
Spanish speaking Unity Council

1761
01:02:18,302 --> 01:02:20,271
one of our 13 listening

1762
01:02:20,271 --> 01:02:21,137
sessions. What we found from

1763
01:02:21,137 --> 01:02:23,107
that community is that they

1764
01:02:23,107 --> 01:02:23,808
have a high utilization of

1765
01:02:23,808 --> 01:02:26,208
public transit. However, it's

1766
01:02:26,711 --> 01:02:29,450
that last mile where they get

1767
01:02:29,450 --> 01:02:31,214
off the bar or no ac transit

1768
01:02:31,214 --> 01:02:32,182
and then they're carrying

1769
01:02:32,182 --> 01:02:35,182
groceries that they are not

1770
01:02:35,785 --> 01:02:36,987
able to carry all the way home

1771
01:02:36,987 --> 01:02:38,521
because these routes, the

1772
01:02:38,521 --> 01:02:39,189
these public transit systems

1773
01:02:39,189 --> 01:02:42,626
are in the fix map system.

1774
01:02:42,626 --> 01:02:45,260
Doesn't go go door-to-door.

1775
01:02:45,428 --> 01:02:47,330
And what we were told was that

1776
01:02:47,330 --> 01:02:48,465
during covid they had a van

1777
01:02:48,465 --> 01:02:49,499
and it was stolen and they

1778
01:02:49,499 --> 01:02:50,601
have never been able to

1779
01:02:50,601 --> 01:02:52,535
replace that ban. And that van

1780
01:02:52,535 --> 01:02:55,535
was helping seniors for that

1781
01:02:57,308 --> 01:02:58,900
last mile ride. So that was an

1782
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:00,311
identified need. Again, we're

1783
01:03:00,311 --> 01:03:02,790
hoping to be able to work with

1784
01:03:02,790 --> 01:03:03,346
the community and figure out

1785
01:03:03,346 --> 01:03:06,946
how to address that. Kind of

1786
01:03:09,687 --> 01:03:12,870
need. Still Oakland, correct?

1787
01:03:12,956 --> 01:03:15,259
So are these it are these

1788
01:03:15,259 --> 01:03:17,259
organizations funded through

1789
01:03:17,628 --> 01:03:18,496
these funds? So we have funds

1790
01:03:18,496 --> 01:03:21,320
available. We just don't have

1791
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:21,631
the organizations don't have

1792
01:03:21,631 --> 01:03:23,631
the resources. 2, maybe

1793
01:03:25,703 --> 01:03:26,369
reacquire vehicles or maybe

1794
01:03:26,369 --> 01:03:29,807
higher. What it what is the

1795
01:03:29,807 --> 01:03:30,775
exact issue here? We have had

1796
01:03:30,775 --> 01:03:33,175
some conversation with the

1797
01:03:34,511 --> 01:03:35,412
vendors about this issue and

1798
01:03:35,412 --> 01:03:37,515
one of the strategies they

1799
01:03:37,515 --> 01:03:40,515
actually presented to us was

1800
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:42,286
perhaps we can give a premium.

1801
01:03:42,286 --> 01:03:43,253
Rate for those who will go to

1802
01:03:43,253 --> 01:03:46,253
East Oakland for the drivers.

1803
01:03:47,257 --> 01:03:50,600
So taxi drivers who are going

1804
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:50,761
to be going on rides that East

1805
01:03:50,761 --> 01:03:53,161
local police. Oakland address

1806
01:03:54,332 --> 01:03:55,132
can get a higher reimbursement

1807
01:03:55,132 --> 01:03:58,100
rate. Then what's you know?

1808
01:03:58,100 --> 01:03:59,669
What's base rate? So that's

1809
01:03:59,669 --> 01:04:02,106
one strategy that we have

1810
01:04:02,106 --> 01:04:02,839
tossed around the challenge we

1811
01:04:02,839 --> 01:04:04,941
have currently is that they're

1812
01:04:04,941 --> 01:04:07,100
also increasing the fears this

1813
01:04:07,100 --> 01:04:09,679
year. So we have we need to

1814
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:11,140
have enough data to be able to

1815
01:04:11,140 --> 01:04:11,648
understand how the fair just

1816
01:04:11,648 --> 01:04:13,684
in general this new fare

1817
01:04:13,684 --> 01:04:14,318
increase that they want to

1818
01:04:14,318 --> 01:04:15,819
impose on us is going to

1819
01:04:15,819 --> 01:04:18,819
impact the program. And then

1820
01:04:19,490 --> 01:04:21,325
if we're gonna provide an

1821
01:04:21,325 --> 01:04:22,360
additional sort of incentive

1822
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:23,600
for drivers to go to East

1823
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,600
Oakland again, how much money

1824
01:04:28,531 --> 01:04:29,267
will that cost? Is there any

1825
01:04:29,267 --> 01:04:31,868
information or data to back up

1826
01:04:31,868 --> 01:04:33,905
their fear or is it just a

1827
01:04:33,905 --> 01:04:35,839
perception? It's a perception.

1828
01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:36,673
Unfortunately. And are these

1829
01:04:36,673 --> 01:04:38,910
hours that they're concerned

1830
01:04:38,910 --> 01:04:40,978
about going to east Oakland

1831
01:04:40,978 --> 01:04:42,345
after hours after 5 around

1832
01:04:42,345 --> 01:04:43,147
midnight the other services

1833
01:04:43,147 --> 01:04:46,747
that serve other parts of the

1834
01:04:49,287 --> 01:04:51,154
city operate. 24 7. I'm not

1835
01:04:51,154 --> 01:04:52,422
sure that it It has to do with

1836
01:04:52,422 --> 01:04:53,958
the hours. I believe it's

1837
01:04:53,958 --> 01:04:56,270
really just the general going

1838
01:04:56,270 --> 01:04:59,627
to East Oakland is unsafe. We

1839
01:05:00,932 --> 01:05:01,631
did hear here from one of our

1840
01:05:01,631 --> 01:05:03,968
when we were doing that, the

1841
01:05:03,968 --> 01:05:05,970
sitting sessions that one of

1842
01:05:05,970 --> 01:05:08,271
the things that they heard

1843
01:05:08,271 --> 01:05:09,273
from the Uber Lyft drivers any

1844
01:05:09,273 --> 01:05:11,241
MAY not be related to a

1845
01:05:11,241 --> 01:05:12,876
contractor, but just to bring

1846
01:05:12,876 --> 01:05:13,544
drivers was there was an

1847
01:05:13,544 --> 01:05:16,544
incident where they were in

1848
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,280
Deep East Oakland in one of

1849
01:05:21,552 --> 01:05:22,586
the cars got. What is that

1850
01:05:22,586 --> 01:05:24,986
called card Karnow carjack

1851
01:05:25,122 --> 01:05:26,824
Jack. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there

1852
01:05:26,824 --> 01:05:27,557
trying to pick up a passenger

1853
01:05:27,557 --> 01:05:29,760
in East Oakland. So, you know,

1854
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,861
these kinds of stories they

1855
01:05:31,861 --> 01:05:34,861
spread, the other drivers and

1856
01:05:37,167 --> 01:05:39,302
it becomes sort of this. New

1857
01:05:39,302 --> 01:05:41,539
way of unfounded. But but then

1858
01:05:41,539 --> 01:05:45,139
got spreads out. Do you know

1859
01:05:45,375 --> 01:05:46,743
this is my last question. Do

1860
01:05:46,743 --> 01:05:47,812
you know if the vehicles that

1861
01:05:47,812 --> 01:05:48,979
are used to pick up seniors

1862
01:05:48,979 --> 01:05:51,979
have to be outfitted for

1863
01:05:52,749 --> 01:05:54,252
seniors with lifts and other

1864
01:05:54,252 --> 01:05:55,986
equipment to service MAY be

1865
01:05:55,986 --> 01:05:57,986
assisted walking vehicles,

1866
01:05:58,556 --> 01:06:00,956
scooters, things like that.

1867
01:06:01,524 --> 01:06:03,860
Not necessarily. So a lot of

1868
01:06:03,860 --> 01:06:07,364
the vehicles that are sent to

1869
01:06:07,364 --> 01:06:08,640
to seniors homes are sedans.

1870
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,640
They've had drivers like taxi

1871
01:06:11,135 --> 01:06:12,904
drivers using their own

1872
01:06:12,904 --> 01:06:14,105
vehicles because the the

1873
01:06:14,105 --> 01:06:14,905
old-fashioned yellow cabs are

1874
01:06:14,905 --> 01:06:17,775
no longer in existence in

1875
01:06:17,775 --> 01:06:20,775
Oakland. So they're using SUVs

1876
01:06:22,445 --> 01:06:23,146
and sedans and we are also

1877
01:06:23,146 --> 01:06:26,146
educating our seniors that if

1878
01:06:28,853 --> 01:06:30,870
they need. If they cannot get

1879
01:06:30,870 --> 01:06:31,922
on a e's, a suv, for during

1880
01:06:31,922 --> 01:06:32,657
this patch when they're

1881
01:06:32,657 --> 01:06:35,660
calling the order to make sure

1882
01:06:35,660 --> 01:06:37,794
to let them know that. They do

1883
01:06:37,794 --> 01:06:40,794
have limited numbers of we'll

1884
01:06:41,398 --> 01:06:42,650
check sensible vans. They're

1885
01:06:42,650 --> 01:06:44,465
available but very limited.

1886
01:06:45,735 --> 01:06:46,536
But we do have a specialized

1887
01:06:46,536 --> 01:06:49,536
Van Service for people who

1888
01:06:49,539 --> 01:06:50,275
need wheelchair. Accessibility

1889
01:06:50,275 --> 01:06:52,675
with another contract. Another

1890
01:06:52,777 --> 01:06:53,944
taxi driver program. Okay.

1891
01:06:53,944 --> 01:06:55,110
Thank you for that. And I will

1892
01:06:55,110 --> 01:06:56,913
speak with you offline about

1893
01:06:56,913 --> 01:06:59,313
some potential solutions to

1894
01:06:59,517 --> 01:07:01,384
address this gap. Think I have

1895
01:07:01,384 --> 01:07:02,118
some ideas. Councilmember

1896
01:07:02,118 --> 01:07:04,518
Houston and then councilmember

1897
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:06,290
Wall and entertain a motion.

1898
01:07:06,290 --> 01:07:09,927
Yeah, move it. But I want to

1899
01:07:09,927 --> 01:07:10,661
move forward consent. Speak a

1900
01:07:10,661 --> 01:07:12,620
little bit more because I have

1901
01:07:12,620 --> 01:07:13,930
some good ideas also. So we've

1902
01:07:13,930 --> 01:07:15,333
got to keep the money in the

1903
01:07:15,333 --> 01:07:15,900
community right? And if you

1904
01:07:15,900 --> 01:07:17,468
keep the money in the

1905
01:07:17,468 --> 01:07:19,868
community and you build

1906
01:07:20,404 --> 01:07:22,804
community nonprofits that that

1907
01:07:22,906 --> 01:07:25,906
noted to the neighborhoods are

1908
01:07:26,177 --> 01:07:27,310
scared. They know how to move.

1909
01:07:27,310 --> 01:07:28,479
Then you can move safely. So I

1910
01:07:28,479 --> 01:07:29,145
got some good ideas. So what I

1911
01:07:29,145 --> 01:07:30,314
want to do is I want to sit

1912
01:07:30,314 --> 01:07:32,714
down with 2 to and

1913
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:34,252
Councilmember 5. We could do

1914
01:07:34,252 --> 01:07:37,252
it together because I have

1915
01:07:37,354 --> 01:07:37,954
some ideas we built.

1916
01:07:37,954 --> 01:07:38,723
Individuals in our own

1917
01:07:38,723 --> 01:07:41,658
community to take care of

1918
01:07:41,658 --> 01:07:42,392
ourselves right. Keep the

1919
01:07:42,392 --> 01:07:45,196
money in our community. We can

1920
01:07:45,196 --> 01:07:49,396
make it safe. Know good fix on

1921
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:57,400
that. So I move this.

1922
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,440
Government all good. Thank

1923
01:08:01,110 --> 01:08:03,614
you. Sorry about that. So I

1924
01:08:03,614 --> 01:08:06,183
have to say that and it that

1925
01:08:06,183 --> 01:08:07,618
is really I have also heard

1926
01:08:07,618 --> 01:08:10,618
some just complaints about the

1927
01:08:11,656 --> 01:08:13,757
pair transit system. And lot

1928
01:08:13,757 --> 01:08:14,925
of it has to do with delays.

1929
01:08:14,925 --> 01:08:18,896
Are the wait time really is a

1930
01:08:18,896 --> 01:08:22,232
key thing that comes out and I

1931
01:08:22,232 --> 01:08:22,934
am deeply concerned around

1932
01:08:22,934 --> 01:08:26,202
this idea that is a provider

1933
01:08:26,202 --> 01:08:26,871
that is getting money,

1934
01:08:26,871 --> 01:08:27,537
including public money that

1935
01:08:27,537 --> 01:08:30,537
you don't have to actually

1936
01:08:33,443 --> 01:08:34,144
pick up somebody. So. We just

1937
01:08:34,144 --> 01:08:36,379
encourage whatever ways that

1938
01:08:36,379 --> 01:08:36,948
we can hold these vendors

1939
01:08:36,948 --> 01:08:38,948
accountable is really

1940
01:08:42,452 --> 01:08:45,452
important. I also was looking

1941
01:08:45,656 --> 01:08:46,356
at one of the attachments it

1942
01:08:46,356 --> 01:08:49,356
in my reading this correctly.

1943
01:08:49,493 --> 01:08:50,193
This is the paired transit

1944
01:08:50,193 --> 01:08:52,295
program plans. Staff summary.

1945
01:08:52,295 --> 01:08:56,200
I see there's a listing of the

1946
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,135
cost per trip that some of our

1947
01:08:58,135 --> 01:08:59,336
vendors is this how much

1948
01:08:59,336 --> 01:09:00,137
they're getting reimbursed by

1949
01:09:00,137 --> 01:09:02,139
the city or is this how much

1950
01:09:02,139 --> 01:09:04,139
they're charging sometimes

1951
01:09:06,744 --> 01:09:07,811
seen rates is high up $74 per

1952
01:09:07,811 --> 01:09:10,548
trip. And is that being

1953
01:09:10,548 --> 01:09:13,548
charged to the residence? To

1954
01:09:15,552 --> 01:09:17,355
the chair? Councilmember? So

1955
01:09:17,355 --> 01:09:19,390
the way it works is that we

1956
01:09:19,390 --> 01:09:21,790
highly subsidized these rides

1957
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:23,228
through the Measure b b

1958
01:09:23,228 --> 01:09:26,228
dollars. So and example, one

1959
01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:29,229
booklet of taxi scripts get

1960
01:09:30,660 --> 01:09:31,936
you $20 worth of rides. We

1961
01:09:31,936 --> 01:09:33,360
paid $25 a measure b b, the

1962
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:34,105
consumers only pay $3 and they

1963
01:09:34,105 --> 01:09:37,705
can buy up to 12 booklets per

1964
01:09:38,341 --> 01:09:39,420
quarter. So that's an

1965
01:09:39,420 --> 01:09:41,442
equivalent. And about, you

1966
01:09:41,444 --> 01:09:43,844
know, 3, $400 that we highly

1967
01:09:46,584 --> 01:09:47,784
subsidized taxing scripts. So

1968
01:09:47,784 --> 01:09:51,488
what you saw on the report are

1969
01:09:51,488 --> 01:09:53,888
averages per ride because

1970
01:09:54,291 --> 01:09:55,250
specially for taxi depends on

1971
01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:56,327
the mileage, right? Know where

1972
01:09:56,327 --> 01:09:59,327
you go. But average, it's

1973
01:10:00,231 --> 01:10:00,964
about $75 per per ride. Ok,

1974
01:10:00,964 --> 01:10:03,340
that's good to know and why is

1975
01:10:03,340 --> 01:10:05,269
it that Gogo? Grandparent is

1976
01:10:05,269 --> 01:10:08,869
down. The they seem to be

1977
01:10:09,306 --> 01:10:10,640
asking for much less subsidy

1978
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,309
compared to the other

1979
01:10:12,309 --> 01:10:12,977
providers. Why not expand

1980
01:10:12,977 --> 01:10:13,977
service with them? Or is it

1981
01:10:13,977 --> 01:10:16,977
because the quality or they've

1982
01:10:17,747 --> 01:10:18,415
limits with their capacity

1983
01:10:18,415 --> 01:10:19,500
just so that we can provide

1984
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:22,500
more rides with the same

1985
01:10:24,187 --> 01:10:25,389
amount of money. The This is a

1986
01:10:25,389 --> 01:10:27,230
good question. When we started

1987
01:10:27,230 --> 01:10:30,230
with Gogo grandparents who was

1988
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:31,963
the pilot because we're not

1989
01:10:31,963 --> 01:10:33,798
sure how readily adaptable our

1990
01:10:33,798 --> 01:10:34,798
seniors are when it comes to

1991
01:10:34,798 --> 01:10:37,768
these kinds of new services

1992
01:10:37,768 --> 01:10:40,168
technology. So we. Piloted

1993
01:10:40,705 --> 01:10:42,139
with a very small amount of

1994
01:10:42,139 --> 01:10:44,174
grand with a very limited

1995
01:10:44,174 --> 01:10:46,210
number of subsidies that we

1996
01:10:46,210 --> 01:10:49,210
can provide. And what we've

1997
01:10:49,380 --> 01:10:51,249
seen is a huge uptick. They're

1998
01:10:51,249 --> 01:10:51,948
considered, you know, go going

1999
01:10:51,948 --> 01:10:53,948
considered hailing services,

2000
01:10:56,519 --> 01:10:58,154
not like taxi. And we have

2001
01:10:58,154 --> 01:10:58,888
seen a huge uptick in

2002
01:10:58,888 --> 01:11:01,910
services. So one of the things

2003
01:11:01,910 --> 01:11:02,590
that we're going to do during

2004
01:11:02,590 --> 01:11:02,759
the the request for

2005
01:11:02,759 --> 01:11:05,159
qualifications when the issue

2006
01:11:06,930 --> 01:11:07,632
that is too make the service

2007
01:11:07,632 --> 01:11:09,332
is comparable to each other.

2008
01:11:09,332 --> 01:11:11,732
So consumers would have

2009
01:11:11,936 --> 01:11:15,500
choices right now the way our

2010
01:11:15,500 --> 01:11:16,206
program is modeled, it's

2011
01:11:16,206 --> 01:11:16,973
driven towards taxi because

2012
01:11:16,973 --> 01:11:17,675
that's our bread and butter

2013
01:11:17,675 --> 01:11:21,275
for many, many years now. And

2014
01:11:21,511 --> 01:11:22,280
then as it is new approaches

2015
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:23,130
to transportation are coming

2016
01:11:23,130 --> 01:11:25,882
online. We want to take a look

2017
01:11:25,882 --> 01:11:27,852
at the sand pilot, new ones

2018
01:11:27,852 --> 01:11:29,185
and also grow. The ones that

2019
01:11:29,185 --> 01:11:29,986
we know are really successful.

2020
01:11:29,986 --> 01:11:32,123
Like go go grandparents and

2021
01:11:32,123 --> 01:11:34,258
possibly increase the number

2022
01:11:34,258 --> 01:11:35,191
of number of rides that you

2023
01:11:35,191 --> 01:11:35,892
can get would go go as well as

2024
01:11:35,892 --> 01:11:39,262
the amount of subsidy that we

2025
01:11:39,262 --> 01:11:39,996
provide. Okay, great. That

2026
01:11:39,996 --> 01:11:44,796
makes a lot of sense to me all

2027
01:11:48,710 --> 01:11:48,773
second, the item. Moving to

2028
01:11:48,773 --> 01:11:51,773
our public speakers blare big

2029
01:12:00,350 --> 01:12:03,153
men in Mississauga. So the

2030
01:12:03,153 --> 01:12:06,753
report says this is saw. Fort

2031
01:12:08,325 --> 01:12:09,590
Fragile seniors. So what who

2032
01:12:09,590 --> 01:12:10,493
qualifies as a scene? You just

2033
01:12:10,493 --> 01:12:13,493
being a seniors, not enough.

2034
01:12:13,598 --> 01:12:16,598
Use a fragile seniors. Who

2035
01:12:16,634 --> 01:12:17,300
does that include? Does that

2036
01:12:17,300 --> 01:12:19,700
include, for instance, an

2037
01:12:20,270 --> 01:12:22,406
individual who's just had

2038
01:12:22,406 --> 01:12:23,907
surgery on their knee

2039
01:12:23,907 --> 01:12:24,641
temporarily will need this

2040
01:12:24,641 --> 01:12:27,641
transportation for a period of

2041
01:12:28,211 --> 01:12:30,247
time, but not long-term. Does

2042
01:12:30,247 --> 01:12:32,949
this include an individual who

2043
01:12:32,949 --> 01:12:35,949
failed the al? The Indian

2044
01:12:37,187 --> 01:12:37,887
cannot drive. And now they

2045
01:12:37,887 --> 01:12:42,870
have to depend on some of the

2046
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,760
form of transportation. Do you

2047
01:12:47,697 --> 01:12:51,135
have and space? Area that is

2048
01:12:51,135 --> 01:12:51,801
limited for travel. So we have

2049
01:12:51,801 --> 01:12:55,401
seniors that have to go to

2050
01:12:55,939 --> 01:12:57,608
Stanford Hospital. Can that

2051
01:12:57,608 --> 01:12:58,341
can they be transported to to

2052
01:12:58,341 --> 01:13:00,176
that distance? Is there a

2053
01:13:00,176 --> 01:13:02,176
distance like 20 miles, 30

2054
01:13:12,422 --> 01:13:13,156
miles? That's the limit. Thank

2055
01:13:13,156 --> 01:13:13,957
you. Missus side. And I do not

2056
01:13:13,957 --> 01:13:15,960
see Blair nicu. So that

2057
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:16,826
concludes public speakers

2058
01:13:16,826 --> 01:13:19,129
cited 6. Thank you. MISS

2059
01:13:19,129 --> 01:13:22,129
Practice. If you could speak

2060
01:13:22,632 --> 01:13:23,433
to the length of travel,

2061
01:13:23,433 --> 01:13:24,901
travel trip that is covered

2062
01:13:24,901 --> 01:13:25,602
under the services at

2063
01:13:25,602 --> 01:13:28,200
appreciate that. Sure. Thank

2064
01:13:28,872 --> 01:13:31,410
you. Chair Fife. That's a very

2065
01:13:31,410 --> 01:13:32,109
good question. And we know

2066
01:13:32,109 --> 01:13:32,943
that especially for medical

2067
01:13:32,943 --> 01:13:34,943
appointments that are

2068
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:36,546
specialized, they go outside

2069
01:13:36,546 --> 01:13:37,180
of Oakland and the taxi

2070
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:39,580
service can go anywhere

2071
01:13:40,785 --> 01:13:41,518
outside of Oakland. The

2072
01:13:41,518 --> 01:13:42,720
problem, though, is, you know,

2073
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,720
because that can only purchase

2074
01:13:45,889 --> 01:13:48,889
12 scripts per quarter. A lot

2075
01:13:48,926 --> 01:13:49,659
of folks who are going to the

2076
01:13:49,659 --> 01:13:51,659
specialty medical appointments

2077
01:13:52,362 --> 01:13:54,264
outside of Oakland tend to use

2078
01:13:54,264 --> 01:13:56,664
up their allocation rather

2079
01:13:58,868 --> 01:14:01,372
quickly. We do listen to folks

2080
01:14:01,372 --> 01:14:03,640
these 4 requests on a

2081
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:04,708
case-by-case basis. And that's

2082
01:14:04,708 --> 01:14:06,676
another area that I think we

2083
01:14:06,676 --> 01:14:08,478
need to address because people

2084
01:14:08,478 --> 01:14:10,447
become more and more frail, we

2085
01:14:10,447 --> 01:14:13,447
should We should see. Again,

2086
01:14:13,818 --> 01:14:16,487
an increase in these kinds of

2087
01:14:16,487 --> 01:14:17,654
medical specialty rides for

2088
01:14:17,654 --> 01:14:19,654
transportation. The other

2089
01:14:19,656 --> 01:14:22,560
thing that been doing is we

2090
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:23,860
are looking into whether or

2091
01:14:23,860 --> 01:14:24,862
not their insurance actually

2092
01:14:24,862 --> 01:14:26,598
pays for transportation,

2093
01:14:26,598 --> 01:14:27,864
especially if they are under

2094
01:14:27,864 --> 01:14:30,264
Medicare. If they're under

2095
01:14:30,701 --> 01:14:32,200
medical and medical covers,

2096
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:33,104
they're transportation. They

2097
01:14:33,104 --> 01:14:36,704
should be paying for those and

2098
01:14:36,773 --> 01:14:37,675
not our program. So so another

2099
01:14:37,675 --> 01:14:38,375
education and getting more

2100
01:14:38,375 --> 01:14:40,775
information from our seniors

2101
01:14:41,712 --> 01:14:42,812
as we get more and more

2102
01:14:42,812 --> 01:14:44,140
requests, you know, repeated

2103
01:14:44,140 --> 01:14:46,616
requests for more and more

2104
01:14:46,616 --> 01:14:48,852
scripts, then then the normal

2105
01:14:48,852 --> 01:14:51,252
application in terms of

2106
01:14:51,522 --> 01:14:52,222
qualification, if you're on

2107
01:14:52,222 --> 01:14:52,923
over 70, 70 or over, you

2108
01:14:52,923 --> 01:14:54,923
automatically qualify, don't

2109
01:14:55,493 --> 01:14:56,493
have to have a disability or,

2110
01:14:56,493 --> 01:15:00,930
you know, I need it's not

2111
01:15:01,998 --> 01:15:02,667
means tested if you're under

2112
01:15:02,667 --> 01:15:03,533
70, anywhere from 18 to 69,

2113
01:15:03,533 --> 01:15:07,133
you have to have this up

2114
01:15:07,437 --> 01:15:08,339
Bility and registered with the

2115
01:15:08,339 --> 01:15:11,339
Alameda with the East Bay

2116
01:15:12,710 --> 01:15:13,410
paratransit because a lot of

2117
01:15:13,410 --> 01:15:14,110
folks think that this is sort

2118
01:15:14,110 --> 01:15:17,110
of the first resort for

2119
01:15:18,214 --> 01:15:20,116
transportation is actually the

2120
01:15:20,116 --> 01:15:20,784
sec indoor supplemental to the

2121
01:15:20,784 --> 01:15:23,119
ada, transportation to East

2122
01:15:23,119 --> 01:15:26,119
Bay paratransit. So it's a

2123
01:15:26,790 --> 01:15:28,258
gap. A stopgap for a lot of

2124
01:15:28,258 --> 01:15:29,961
folks who are not able to get

2125
01:15:29,961 --> 01:15:32,462
on the East Bay pair Transit

2126
01:15:32,462 --> 01:15:34,531
van door. They just got off

2127
01:15:34,531 --> 01:15:37,531
you emergency room writing in

2128
01:15:37,702 --> 01:15:38,568
a in a in a van that goes all

2129
01:15:38,568 --> 01:15:40,238
over the city MAY not be

2130
01:15:40,238 --> 01:15:41,706
something that they want to

2131
01:15:41,706 --> 01:15:44,775
do. So this is really filling

2132
01:15:44,775 --> 01:15:47,210
the gap. So that's another.

2133
01:15:47,210 --> 01:15:47,844
Education that we have to tell

2134
01:15:47,844 --> 01:15:48,445
consumers when they keep

2135
01:15:48,445 --> 01:15:49,946
asking for more scripts

2136
01:15:49,946 --> 01:15:52,449
because they want to by the

2137
01:15:52,449 --> 01:15:53,160
taxi weather than then East

2138
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,416
Bay pair Transit van

2139
01:16:04,261 --> 01:16:05,795
sometimes. I know this is.

2140
01:16:05,795 --> 01:16:07,530
Easier said than done. But I

2141
01:16:07,530 --> 01:16:11,130
think if there's any way to

2142
01:16:11,334 --> 01:16:11,969
withhold to some city when one

2143
01:16:11,969 --> 01:16:13,536
of our providers does not

2144
01:16:13,536 --> 01:16:15,472
deliver on a tripped, you

2145
01:16:15,472 --> 01:16:16,907
know, we should do that

2146
01:16:16,907 --> 01:16:18,675
because looking at some of

2147
01:16:18,675 --> 01:16:19,676
these subsidy costs, they

2148
01:16:19,676 --> 01:16:22,760
could be getting subsidized.

2149
01:16:22,413 --> 01:16:23,613
And if he's caught the cost of

2150
01:16:23,613 --> 01:16:25,480
a trip to $74 and then they

2151
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:28,480
don't even go to that

2152
01:16:28,653 --> 01:16:29,386
household in east Oakland. You

2153
01:16:29,386 --> 01:16:32,422
know, they should begin in the

2154
01:16:32,422 --> 01:16:36,220
$74 from So. I know that. So

2155
01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:42,632
thanks. Thank you so much.

2156
01:16:42,632 --> 01:16:43,267

2157
01:16:43,267 --> 01:16:43,934

01:17:08,893 --> 01:17:10,930
this motion does pass with 4

2170
01:17:10,930 --> 01:17:10,828

01:17:15,865 --> 01:17:18,235
Council agenda and through the

2174
01:17:18,235 --> 01:17:21,235
body that would be consent.

2175
01:17:22,472 --> 01:17:25,472
Moving to open the bar.

2176
01:17:36,821 --> 01:17:39,220
Missus. Saddam Blair begun.

2177
01:17:39,220 --> 01:17:42,220
Sanctuary city, like I said

2178
01:17:42,993 --> 01:17:46,593
before. It's not a legal term.

2179
01:17:46,696 --> 01:17:49,933
So. How do we apply in any

2180
01:17:49,933 --> 01:17:52,333
documentation? Related to city

2181
01:17:53,671 --> 01:17:54,337
attorney? If there's no legal

2182
01:17:54,337 --> 01:17:57,337
term fighting, you have an

2183
01:17:57,909 --> 01:17:58,642
ointment using the term.

2184
01:17:58,642 --> 01:17:59,209
Sanctuary city when there's no

2185
01:17:59,209 --> 01:18:01,444
legal term with that

2186
01:18:01,444 --> 01:18:04,444
definition. So I don't know

2187
01:18:06,150 --> 01:18:09,750
how do that. The idea of

2188
01:18:12,522 --> 01:18:14,922
understanding. You have an

2189
01:18:15,759 --> 01:18:17,361
opportunity to weigh in on the

2190
01:18:17,361 --> 01:18:20,361
impact of your sanctuary city

2191
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:21,766
status as it relates to jobs.

2192
01:18:21,766 --> 01:18:24,766
Who's getting jobs? Who's not

2193
01:18:24,935 --> 01:18:27,335
getting jobs? Housing, who's

2194
01:18:27,804 --> 01:18:28,471
getting house and who's not

2195
01:18:28,471 --> 01:18:29,407
getting housing. And my

2196
01:18:29,407 --> 01:18:32,309
position is is a strong

2197
01:18:32,309 --> 01:18:33,744
possibility. People who are

2198
01:18:33,744 --> 01:18:35,846
here and don't have legal

2199
01:18:35,846 --> 01:18:36,713
status getting jobs over the

2200
01:18:36,713 --> 01:18:39,113
people who actually citizens

2201
01:18:43,253 --> 01:18:43,887
of Thank you, Mr Site. And I

2202
01:18:43,887 --> 01:18:46,924
do not see Blair. So that

2203
01:18:46,924 --> 01:18:47,557

2204
01:18:47,557 --> 01:18:49,957
5.17, in this meeting is

2205
01:19:02,105 --> 01:19:04,105
adjourned.
