[10:04] of these technologies. And
[10:05] there are 16 speakers that
[10:06] signed up to speak on this
[10:10] item. Ok, great. I will turn
[10:15] it over to Dc does feel as if
[10:15] I pronounced that correctly
[10:22] have ok? All right. And then
[10:23] if I know that you are
[10:24] requesting a modification to
[10:24] this item, if you want to

[10:38] is requesting that Alpr
[10:39] automated license plate reader
[10:42] for 2025 annual report be

[10:44] That's apology changes
[10:47] recommended in the report.
[10:48] Accompanying revised
[10:49] department. Jenna order. I-12
[10:52] Alp our policy. All right. Not
[10:53] contained within the
[10:54] resolution related to this
[10:56] item. The concern around the
[10:58] resolution was identified by
[11:00] opd and then brought to the
[11:01] attention of the city
[11:01] attorney's office for
[11:04] clarification. Opd is
[11:07] requesting to reschedule the
[11:09] specific item after the
[11:09] legislative recess to allow
[11:11] for the presentation of the
[11:12] annual report in conjunction
[11:17] with the amended policy. This
[11:18] will allow for a more

[11:22] changes. The reflect the
[11:22] ongoing analysis, the lpr
[11:26] program. The movement of this
[11:26] item will not impact the
[11:28] presentation of the annual
[11:30] report within the designated
[11:32] period. It will also not
[11:33] impact impact the department
[11:39] operationally. Thank you.
[11:40] Since I had some back and
[11:41] forth discussions with opd
[11:42] colleagues, does that make
[11:45] sense to the alpr section is
[11:50] being This is item. Listed 8
[11:53] the agenda, some some item a.
[11:56] Please go ahead. As everyone
[11:58] knows the Oakland Police
[12:02] Department is short staffed,
[12:02] but we do. We are actively
[12:04] recruiting for additional
[12:08] resources, but we rely heavily
[12:08] on technology. And this
[12:11] technology has assisted us
[12:14] greatly solving crimes,
[12:15] identifying potential people
[12:17] of interest and also assist in
[12:20] our community and the victims
[12:21] of crime. We have utilized are
[12:22] unmanned aerial system which
[12:25] are drones. Forensic logic,
[12:27] cop link crime, tracer pen
[12:31] registers so bright to assist
[12:33] us greatly in our
[12:34] investigations. I know
[12:37] everybody has had a chance to
[12:38] review these annual reports
[12:40] and we can go and death in
[12:42] each one. If you would like,
[12:43] we can go through each one and
[12:43] if their specific questions, I
[12:46] can answer them to make it
[12:47] easier because I do want to
[12:48] answer question that you might
[13:00] already have or I think does
[13:01] that people's there we go.
[13:02] That's a better pronounce I
[13:03] think it would be good if you
[13:05] could provide just a quick
[13:08] overview of each of the
[13:09] technologies for everybody in
[13:11] this committee absolutely will
[13:13] make that he again, we have a
[13:15] amount of technology in our
[13:17] department. One of the things
[13:18] we have is our unmanned aerial
[13:21] system better known as drones
[13:24] that have says it greatly and
[13:25] our department, these drones
[13:30] are program began in 2020 2
[13:37] and we have deployed in 2025.
[13:38] 131 incident spread we
[13:42] present. I'm sorry. It says
[13:43] 130 times that it's actually
[13:44] 131 and I clarified that with
[13:45] the prize. The Privacy
[13:48] Advisory Commission already,
[13:49] but the drones have assisted
[13:49] us greatly in being able to
[13:52] provide real-time
[13:56] intelligence. Give us unknown
[13:57] unknown, have information
[13:58] where we can't see and also be
[14:02] deployed and be able to give
[14:05] better response time. So if
[14:06] there's an incidents where a
[14:06] suspect flees from a singles
[14:10] into a yard, we can deploy
[14:12] drone. Give us some real time
[14:14] intelligence just so we don't
[14:16] send officers in there. So it
[14:19] mitigates uses of force. Is
[14:20] this real time intelligence
[14:21] and also assist us in being
[14:24] able to get that person safely
[14:24] out and for officers to safely
[14:30] take that person into custody.
[14:31] I provided several incidents
[14:34] in where they have assisted
[14:36] us. I through 10 different
[14:38] types of incidents that we've
[14:39] had. But as you can see on
[14:44] pages, 8. 9 and these were
[14:47] incidents that were. Very
[14:50] dangerous are barricaded
[14:52] suspects. There are specific
[14:53] incidents where people are
[14:56] armed with firearms and all of
[14:58] these incidents resulted in
[15:02] the safe apprehension of armed
[15:03] suspects and also the
[15:08] mitigation of uses of force.
[15:12] We do have our flare, which is
[15:13] our forward looking infrared.
[15:13] We do have somebody here from
[15:16] artist, which is our air
[15:17] support unit. This technology
[15:18] was not used in the past year.
[15:21] And I believe it's also
[15:21] outdated. So there's not much
[15:22] to report on that.
[15:28] Unfortunately.
[15:42] The next one is our live
[15:44] stream transmitter feet where
[15:48] we utilize that for protests.
[15:49] We did not play that again in
[15:50] 2025, as you can see in the
[15:55] annual report. The next thing
[15:58] is our mobile forensic
[16:00] extraction device basically,
[16:03] this mobile forensic
[16:03] extraction device. It's
[16:04] basically told, used to
[16:06] extract data from seized
[16:08] mobile phones and tablets. So
[16:09] it performs a one-time that
[16:12] extraction doesn't conduct
[16:14] live surveillance. You can see
[16:15] that we extract its 730
[16:23] devices. 5 are related to
[16:24] internal administrative opd
[16:25] searches and 733 were related
[16:28] to criminal investigations. I
[16:29] know one of things that has
[16:30] been brought to our attention
[16:32] is making sure that we look at
[16:34] outside potential different
[16:35] vendors. I can tell you that
[16:37] we have been testing 2
[16:40] different than vendors. I'm
[16:41] not gonna specifically
[16:42] mentioned those names of those
[16:44] vendors, but one of the
[16:47] vendors has had a 3% success
[16:48] rate. The other one has had a
[16:52] 62% success rate. While our
[16:53] current so bright has had a
[17:00] 95% success rate. And again,
[17:02] these are a device that we
[17:06] utilize in assisting us in
[17:07] violent crimes. So if there is
[17:09] a homicide, a robbery, a home
[17:12] invasion robbery, a sexual
[17:14] assault, somebody who is being
[17:16] place than victimized on our
[17:17] streets for prostitution
[17:19] activity. And we're looking
[17:22] for camps. These device that
[17:24] we utilize to assist in our
[17:25] investigations. And they've
[17:28] been extremely helpful. The
[17:31] other system we have is a pen
[17:32] register system. And that's
[17:34] basically it real-time
[17:35] surveillance tool that reports
[17:36] meta information about ongoing
[17:37] and incoming phone
[17:39] communications such as
[17:41] outnumbers time stance and
[17:43] called frequency. It doesn't
[17:43] capture the content of
[17:44] communication, which is really
[17:47] important for me understand.
[17:49] We currently utilize that
[17:50] gladiator pin register system
[17:51] to receive in analyze this
[17:53] data at we utilize that that
[17:58] at 86 times last year. 47
[18:00] separate investigations and we
[18:00] have team search warrants for
[18:03] all for 80 of 86 installations
[18:05] and 6 of those installations
[18:07] were conducted certain
[18:09] circumstances. And the
[18:12] majority work, violent crime,
[18:16] 6 of the uses occurred in 2
[18:17] incidents. One was where a
[18:18] suspect ambushed inside and
[18:20] shot at uniform. Officers and
[18:21] the other one with a threat of
[18:30] a potential school shooting.
[18:32] And then lastly is crime.
[18:34] Tracer formally known as cop
[18:35] logic, basically just to make
[18:39] it easier to kind of look at
[18:40] Google platform that of a
[18:41] system where it's just us is
[18:42] somewhat of a one-stop shop
[18:46] that assist us and being able
[18:47] to research and look for a
[18:48] cross law enforcement records
[18:50] for calls for service field
[18:53] interviews, arrest and booking
[18:55] records in citations and
[18:56] police reports it does not
[18:56] contain any automated license
[18:59] plate reader system and has
[19:01] discussed and was discussed at
[19:03] the Privacy Privacy Advisory
[19:04] Commission. And I believe also
[19:05] passed a public safety and
[19:07] city council is we are moving
[19:11] forward towards peregrine a
[19:11] different database system
[19:12] which is similar stills,
[19:14] similar to a Google platform.
[19:18] But basically it is cities
[19:19] across the Bay Area have now
[19:22] moved away from prying tracer
[19:25] and have gone to peregrine.
[19:26] Additionally, there's a better
[19:27] auditing system on peregrine
[19:30] and we can also limit access
[19:31] and we can limit who sees this
[19:33] information in which shared
[19:35] with whereas cranked racing
[19:36] was kind of free for all
[19:36] anybody could have access to
[19:42] it. Basically, those are are
[19:46] surveillance annual reports.
[19:46] Again, whether we should
[19:48] continue the use of such
[19:50] technology. Oakland Police
[19:51] Department strongly urges you
[19:53] to obviously vote yes in a
[19:55] great This technology does
[19:58] assist us and assisting the
[19:58] victims of violent crimes but
[20:01] also helping to identify
[20:02] suspects committed these
[20:07] crimes. Thank you so much.
[20:08] Colleagues. And then I do want
[20:11] to turn it over public comment
[20:11] since we have folks here,
[20:17] Councilmember Houston. Chair
[20:18] you, sir. And it's amazing
[20:19] when you you spoke on the pen
[20:21] register, you sit. Help stop a
[20:25] school shooting. And shooting
[20:31] an officer. To get back to
[20:32] that are going to take your
[20:32] time time because I got a
[20:33] couple just come That's
[20:46] amazing. School shooting. Wow.
[20:47] Yes. Over the school shooting,
[20:51] we actually have a listed in
[20:52] sitting where the where we use
[20:54] that to facilitate identify
[20:55] the location of the
[20:56] individual, making the threat
[20:57] for school shootings. So you
[21:00] can obviously just considering
[21:04] the fact of how dangerous and
[21:04] just nationwide trying to
[21:05] prevent such incidents from
[21:06] occurring, how this can assist
[21:09] Greatly threats become real.
[21:09] And what about the shooting of
[21:13] at the officer? This one? We
[21:15] very we had some limited
[21:16] information and it's we're not
[21:17] talking too much about it, we
[21:18] did apply it. And it did
[21:21] assistance in the
[21:22] investigation. Okay, lasting.
[21:24] But so bright. You had to
[21:25] vendors. I know you said you
[21:26] could mention their names was
[21:27] the percentage, the 2
[21:28] percentages and it was a cell
[21:32] by percentage. Absolutely. So
[21:33] celebrate has shown us to have
[21:35] 95% success rate in
[21:37] downloading information from
[21:39] cell phones. Well, the other 2
[21:41] vendors, one has 3% and one
[21:43] has had 62% success rate.
[21:44] We're not stopping. There are
[21:45] still looking at other
[21:46] vendors. Understand that
[21:49] question to the chair. And you
[21:53] said that the drones should
[22:03] 131 times it was using 2025.
[22:05] Yes. That's where he said,
[22:06] yeah, we had 131 times. I had
[22:08] listed one 30 as my mistake on
[22:10] there prior to that in 2024.
[22:13] We had one. 26. And prior to
[22:15] that, we had 220 and I like to
[22:16] bring that to attention
[22:17] because when it things we
[22:20] discovered, obviously was 2023
[22:21] with our first full usage of
[22:22] utilizing drones. But you can
[22:26] see that it's gone down. So it
[22:28] has to be approved by a
[22:29] commander on scene. So just
[22:32] because incident MAY warrant a
[22:33] drone, each commander will
[22:34] identify the incident and
[22:36] determine whether or not a
[22:36] drone is still needed to just
[22:39] because we have this
[22:40] technology doesn't mean that
[22:41] we deployed every single time.
[22:44] We look at a case by case
[22:45] thank you because I talked to
[22:46] the county need to is working
[22:46] perfectly, but the sheriff's
[22:48] department, thank you. Council
[22:54] member Brown. Excellent. Thank
[22:56] you so much for the report and
[22:57] the I had a couple questions
[23:02] about the drone usage this
[23:03] year. What progress the
[23:07] department is making on like
[23:10] the training like the drone
[23:10] teams because I guess I'm
[23:12] curious if that actually is
[23:14] contributing to like the the
[23:17] lack of usage. So currently
[23:18] right now, I believe the top
[23:22] of my head, we have 20 faa
[23:26] 107, certified pilots a We
[23:27] also have them. So every these
[23:28] are ancillary positions. So
[23:31] it's not full time positions.
[23:33] So a lot of these officers are
[23:34] working different assignments.
[23:38] Whether you're patrol
[23:40] investigations working in
[23:43] cease-fire, working in special
[23:45] resources section for
[23:46] obviously assignments. So
[23:47] whenever they're very for a
[23:47] call for service, if someone
[23:49] is not there, they're trying
[23:52] to respond to that location.
[23:53] The other thing we have is
[23:56] that our drones are depleting
[23:56] in a sense is the same drones
[23:58] that we've had since 2022,
[24:03] these drones were donated to
[24:04] us, but love the community So
[24:05] we had to separate donations
[24:08] totaling $100,000. And these
[24:08] are the Saint John's we've had
[24:11] since 2022. So are also being
[24:13] cautious, too. And when we and
[24:14] how many times we use it, just
[24:19] like anything else. It is a
[24:21] car in a break. So fortunately
[24:25] for my for for me, I have some
[24:26] intelligent people our teams
[24:27] are able to also become
[24:28] mechanics and try to fix the
[24:30] drones themselves as little
[24:31] parts break. So it is a
[24:35] depleting resources far as
[24:37] mechanical and also
[24:39] financially. So we are looking
[24:40] at other ways to purchase new
[24:41] drones which are working on
[24:43] right now. But that's mainly
[24:47] the biggest issue right now.
[24:48] Punches. Thank you so much for
[24:49] that and what is the current
[24:52] life of You know, it depends
[24:53] on the battery lights and
[24:56] we've had to purchase
[24:56] additional batteries and the
[24:58] drones we have are from 2022.
[25:01] So that but the the problem
[25:03] we're seeing right now is
[25:05] those purchasing. Those
[25:06] batteries are extremely
[25:07] outdated and they're not
[25:08] lasting as long as they
[25:11] normally do. So the charges
[25:12] are holding as long as they
[25:14] are. So they're constantly
[25:14] having to purchase new new a
[25:16] new batteries if that makes
[25:19] sense. Yeah, absolutely. And
[25:21] then my next question had a
[25:23] little bit you with the data
[25:25] around like the celebrate
[25:27] usage. And I just wanted to
[25:28] confirm that in order to use
[25:32] the celebrate technology, it
[25:33] actually requires a a warrant.
[25:35] Is that correct? That's
[25:36] correct. It does require a
[25:36] search warrant yet. Okay.
[25:41] Thank you. Thank you.
[25:42] Councilmember Before we turn
[25:44] it over to public comment,
[25:45] just to confirm is this a
[25:46] comprehensive list of all
[25:48] those surveillance technology
[25:50] like ai notice that shot
[25:51] spotter is not included in
[25:51] this set of reports. Why? Why
[25:55] is that? I believe that those
[25:56] at different time we did. We
[26:00] haven't presented Shotspotter.
[26:00] Okay. So we'll get it to the
[26:01] next set of reports. Okay.
[26:03] Great. Okay. Turn it over to
[26:07] public comment. Calling in the
[26:07] names that signed up to speak
[26:08] on item number 8 in no
[26:09] particular order. You can come
[26:12] up to the podium state. Your
[26:13] name before making your
[26:14] comment or if you're on zoom,
[26:15] please raise your hands to be
[26:20] easily identified. Deed on.
[26:23] Jesse Rose more. Daniel
[26:26] Hochman, Kendra Ferguson.
[26:29] Kerry, both a subtle of Allah.
[26:35] Pena is Adam will. Zarina Diaz
[26:37] Matalin. Stacey Elizabeth.
[26:41] Cochran. Noelle Flores, Blair
[26:47] Beekman Owen. Angela Maddox
[26:48] and I have one filled out
[26:51] under tech workers. Coalition.
[26:54] And if you if you are sitting
[26:55] time or have someone seating
[26:57] time tu, they must be present
[26:58] or on zoom to acknowledge that
[27:03] they are ceding their to you.
[27:03] Here's the Don. Thank you very
[27:07] much. All of these proposals
[27:09] and all of the research done
[27:11] on these surveillance systems
[27:14] is 8 gross misuse of funds for
[27:18] the people of Oakland. It's a
[27:19] dangerous actually escalation
[27:20] of surveillance on the people
[27:21] of Oakland. We do not need to
[27:22] encourage a surveillance
[27:23] state. These drones and
[27:24] cameras only act as a Band-Aid
[27:27] solution to sources of crime.
[27:29] My thoughts research and by
[27:31] your admission, the so-called
[27:31] benefited between 10 and 20%
[27:35] for usage in completed cases.
[27:35] This statistic does not
[27:36] indicate that these cases
[27:37] would have gone unsolved
[27:38] without flock intervention for
[27:40] such a widespread
[27:41] implementation. The residents
[27:43] deserve more than one in
[27:45] moment of these devices and
[27:47] result crime cases mind you.
[27:47] That's not crime prevention.
[27:48] You did mention crime
[27:50] prevention, but only for
[27:51] specific instances merely
[27:54] crime resolution for most
[27:55] cases, thoughtful, short at
[27:56] every metric by their own
[27:58] numbers for comparison amount
[28:00] of time. The we know what
[28:02] works. It is giving money to
[28:02] health care and housing for
[28:09] the citizens vote. Next
[28:10] speakers you guys can come up
[28:12] to the podium. It's on Senate
[28:14] for number 3. Number 8,
[28:16] because it coming up around
[28:20] what's Riley. Going to see To
[28:24] Daniel. Okay. Just noting that
[28:25] you will no longer be able to
[28:29] speak on item 3. And Daniel,
[28:30] give me one moment to just
[28:35] your time. Yeah. Go for. You
[28:39] can begin. All My name is
[28:39] Daniel Hoffman, a minister
[28:41] resident and I work over at
[28:42] Livermore, but the key plants
[28:45] for working their weapons so I
[28:48] first and foremost think that
[28:50] this item should on a ballot.
[28:51] If you look at police about
[28:56] was measured measure Both of
[28:57] those combined are not heavily
[28:59] weighted as what we're talking
[29:03] about. Now. But to talk about
[29:05] starting officer owns the U.S.
[29:06] Is to my knowledge that has
[29:07] its indoor use for hostile
[29:16] situations. Mississauga. I
[29:17] need to see we plot pause the
[29:20] clock. Mississauga. This is
[29:23] your first warning you will be
[29:26] 3 warnings or you will be
[29:27] removed. We need to respect
[29:32] the first warning went
[29:35] Councilmember you know, that
[29:35] is your second morning
[29:39] Mississauga. I think it's
[29:40] important to note that, you
[29:41] know, we want to make sure
[29:45] that we give everyone's voice
[29:45] is heard. And so everyone will
[29:46] get the opportunity to speak
[29:55] at the mic. And so, It wasn't
[29:58] easy. 24 7, thank you.
[30:08] Okay. Security. Can you please
[30:12] speak with to thank you.
[30:19] Should done about it. What do
[30:24] she should An Can you can
[30:25] continue with your comments.
[30:28] Your time will continue. All
[30:30] right. So knowledge the
[30:31] barricade in hostage
[30:32] situations. The overwatch for
[30:33] active scenes and fires. That
[30:34] makes sense. That is a
[30:36] tactical advantage. But I
[30:37] believe that we should
[30:38] establish some kind of
[30:39] limiting operating radius of
[30:40] maybe like a quarter mile of
[30:42] gives you enough go around the
[30:46] block without it being this
[30:46] scary step towards
[30:48] surveillance state
[30:49] infrastructure. One thing I do
[30:50] want to applaud is the crime
[30:52] of biometric security storing
[30:54] all the data on the Internet
[30:58] encrypting information and and
[30:59] should be the standard for all
[31:01] of this information, storage
[31:02] and transfer. Not so much an
[31:06] sd card on a drone or say
[31:09] manually inputting the drone.
[31:11] Log at the Microsoft teams
[31:14] Excel sheet. I believe can we
[31:19] pause again? Security? Can you
[31:20] escort misses, sought out.
[31:28] Please.
[32:29] Susan.
[33:04] You feel ready? Let's
[33:08] do All right. So lastly, as
[33:08] complementing the biometric
[33:09] security and health care as
[33:11] got moved, let's talk about
[33:12] some statistics in their
[33:13] report. It had 638 million
[33:15] scanned, but only 1.1 million
[33:20] hot list alerts which is you
[33:22] divide the 1.1 bytes is
[33:22] 138 Million. That is a 0, 1,
[33:26] 7%, utilization rate. So let's
[33:27] one scam per hot list alert.
[33:28] If we multiply that by 20,
[33:30] that's still only 30%
[33:33] utilization, right? 97% waste.
[33:33] 1.2 million dollars for not
[33:38] going 97% refund on and we're
[33:38] building essentially pan off.
[33:39] The comet only works 0.1% of
[33:41] the time. This is a
[33:45] unfortunately not even if it.
[33:46] Thank you for comments. Your
[33:56] time is up. Next that sun come
[33:58] up to the podium. Police say
[34:03] your name before beginning. I
[34:08] think the fact that you chose
[34:10] to rip move pr is at the last
[34:12] minute from this agenda shows
[34:14] exactly why we cannot trust
[34:15] these kinds of technologies
[34:16] and why there's a lack of
[34:18] transparency when you brought
[34:18] all these people here. Most of
[34:19] them are there are here to
[34:22] talk about the surveillance
[34:23] state and flock cameras on
[34:27] their corners. Let's see
[34:29] Clinton already budgeted 2.2,
[34:30] 5 million to flock back in
[34:32] DECEMBER. Imagine all the
[34:33] social services that could
[34:36] have been funded if those
[34:36] funds went to somewhere else
[34:38] rather than the surveillance
[34:40] state policing at this level
[34:40] of everyday life goes beyond
[34:41] the Panopticon and transforms
[34:44] lived actions into data by
[34:46] which people are watched.
[34:47] Their behaviors are predicted
[34:48] and then demonized based on
[34:50] their skin location and
[34:52] socioeconomic status, making
[34:53] every corner the wrong place
[34:55] to be at the petrol. 24 7,
[34:56] wrong time. Oakland already
[34:59] has a habit of violating sb
[35:01] 34, and unlawfully sharing
[35:02] surveillance data make every
[35:15] flock camp. Good evening, Wolf
[35:19] Oakland resident. Your duty
[35:22] under Omc 9, 6, 4 is not just
[35:23] accept paperwork is to approve
[35:25] the usage against us. The cost
[35:29] to civil liberties. The scale
[35:30] of the scanning that's
[35:32] happening 638 million license
[35:39] plate scanned. A 15062 success
[35:42] stories. That's 0, 0, 1%. The
[35:47] 99.9, 7, 7%, is all just non
[35:48] constitutional obstruction
[35:52] civil liberties in Oakland.
[35:55] And also approving this
[35:56] report. Oakland pd is not
[35:59] following the rules. There are
[36:01] 6 currently approved usages
[36:02] for flock. But apparently the
[36:04] 33 usages have been in their
[36:08] system able to be selected for
[36:09] the last year. I would really
[36:11] love to have you ask about
[36:13] that and are they using these
[36:14] usage is already because you
[36:23] have not voted on this year.
[36:25] I'm Kendra Ferguson live in
[36:25] Oakland and I'm opposed to the
[36:26] opd expanding the use of
[36:31] flock. I think that mass
[36:31] surveillance in the country
[36:33] that lawfully strips rights,
[36:35] repressed people that lawfully
[36:36] in concert incarcerate
[36:36] families based off of their
[36:39] deaths at the city and that
[36:40] law femurs people in the
[36:41] street will only bring harm to
[36:43] the people. I think that fun
[36:43] should be going toward
[36:46] programs that uplift humanity,
[36:49] not those that criminalize
[36:51] manatee. I'm descendant of a
[36:51] survivor of the Japanese
[36:52] concentration camps from World
[36:55] War. 2 and that measure was
[36:58] taken. Then for safety and was
[36:59] a safety measure and they
[37:01] question 820,000 people for
[37:02] the basis that thing Japanese
[37:07] Americans yeah, the reality
[37:09] all safety measures sometimes
[37:10] do not do what they're meant
[37:12] to do, right, actually meant
[37:12] to just harm community. And so
[37:13] I would hope that we are
[37:14] choosing not harm, but using
[37:24] humanity. I'm Zarina. I oppose
[37:26] flocked to the council members
[37:27] here. Do you believe the
[37:28] citizens of Oakland have a
[37:32] right to privacy from 24 7
[37:33] warrantless surveillance? Why
[37:34] is it that you continue to
[37:35] support the vendor flock when
[37:37] the public you serve? Opposes
[37:38] this the way that you and opd
[37:41] continued to sneak flock,
[37:42] funding into agendas every
[37:45] month reflects an allegiance
[37:46] to the police above your
[37:48] constituents. I've seen high
[37:50] schoolers unions, immigration
[37:51] advocacy groups, church groups
[37:52] and Constance it. Constituents
[37:55] all come here practically
[37:58] every month to oppose flop.
[38:01] The optics of you continuing
[38:05] consider funding flop. The
[38:06] optics is corruption and
[38:14] collusion with opd. I Anthony
[38:17] s district 5 residents. I
[38:18] strongly oppose any contract
[38:21] with flock safety flock
[38:22] indiscriminately, collect
[38:23] enormous volumes of video
[38:25] footage in Illinois flock has
[38:28] been caught breaking state
[38:29] privacy law by sharing that
[38:31] footage without a state law
[38:31] enforcement officers,
[38:33] including Customs and Border
[38:35] Protection agents and a Texas
[38:35] sheriff tracking a woman who
[38:39] had an abortion. Fox Floppy
[38:40] license plate readings have
[38:43] led to false accusations and
[38:44] fox careless security
[38:44] practices increase the risk of
[38:47] hackers stealing footage. When
[38:48] it comes to public safety. In
[38:49] Oakland, I trust the local
[38:51] violence prevention programs,
[38:53] not unaccountable. Tech
[38:54] companies were increasingly
[38:55] brutal and lawless federal
[38:58] agencies. I urge you all not
[39:00] to accept any expansion or
[39:02] extension Oakland City
[39:02] contracts with flock safety.
[39:11] Not now. We're not ever.
[39:12] Everyone, mark, I think I'm
[39:14] the person who put down tech
[39:15] workers coalition. So
[39:15] apologies for for that to feel
[39:18] that my name district, 3
[39:19] resident and I just want to
[39:23] say that. I guess I am a
[39:25] little happy the flock thing
[39:26] end up getting moved to last
[39:27] month because I definitely did
[39:28] look through those documents
[39:31] and was kind of surprised by
[39:33] how messy and how many data
[39:34] and things were missing from
[39:36] it. And I appreciate, you
[39:40] know, I pd for pulling that
[39:41] stuff off, but I can't give
[39:42] them 24 hours for being the
[39:42] people who presumably
[39:43] submitted that stuff in the
[39:45] first place. And so I would
[39:46] really urge that especially if
[39:46] this is the way that they're
[39:49] going to like handle their own
[39:52] data you know, we really
[39:54] treat. We treat them with a
[39:54] little bit of skepticism when
[39:55] they say that they're going to
[39:56] be good stewards for hours.
[40:00] And I also think that.
[40:00] Fundamentally, you know, it is
[40:04] not surveillance or nothing.
[40:05] You know, obviously, when you
[40:06] you know, when you compare
[40:07] lawlessness to surveillance,
[40:08] surveillance wins. But I think
[40:09] the ultimately there is
[40:09] another option, which is
[40:21] actually taking them. Hi, Jess
[40:22] Heroes. More of the absurd
[40:22] things that I've heard. Pro
[40:25] flock hawks on the city
[40:26] council saying from my
[40:28] councilmember Wang, I've heard
[40:29] you say that if ice deploys
[40:30] here, we will just turn the
[40:34] cameras off for So, you know,
[40:36] these cameras collect commute
[40:37] pattern data. So if you just
[40:38] turn them off, it will be too
[40:41] late. Ice will have that data.
[40:42] They will use it to do
[40:43] targeted abductions up our
[40:44] neighbors when they go to
[40:46] Dublin when they open Dublin
[40:47] and when when they pursue that
[40:51] to fill up that. That
[40:52] facility. So what I would like
[40:54] to know from you is what is
[40:55] the plan when ice does hear
[40:59] what they did in Minneapolis
[41:00] to warn every person that
[41:02] could be targeted by ice in
[41:03] the Trump administration that
[41:04] they need to immediately
[41:06] change their commute pattern
[41:08] data or have targeted
[41:09] abductions at them. That is a
[41:11] big task. He was going to do
[41:12] Are you gonna do it? Which
[41:14] department is going to it?
[41:16] What is the plan? When are you
[41:17] releasing the plan? Because
[41:25] this leaves us in danger. My
[41:26] name is an ion accidently
[41:34] sound up for 3 instead of 8.
[41:35] I'm not going to repeat the
[41:36] statistics or the information
[41:41] that is all really good. That
[41:42] my companions are. They're not
[41:43] my companions. But the people
[41:44] who feel the same way as me,
[41:47] which is that I strongly.
[41:50] Oppose flock pose celebrate. I
[41:50] oppose surveillance. I am
[41:54] shocked that. What this like,
[41:56] probably the 4th time I've
[41:57] been in front of either this
[41:58] committee or the full City
[42:03] council talking about this and
[42:06] what you listen to us. You
[42:08] listen to the lies of opd and
[42:11] you just go right ahead. So I
[42:13] just don't know what to say
[42:14] about it. I do want to say
[42:17] that we are supposedly a
[42:19] sanctuary city and should be
[42:20] very clear to each one of you
[42:24] at this point that. That ice
[42:26] can get into all of these.
[42:27] Certainly they can get into
[42:31] flock. So. It just seems like
[42:41] corruption to me. Madeline,
[42:48] Stacey. Alp Ares provide
[42:48] indiscriminate retrospectively
[42:50] location, data. Any person, no
[42:53] intermediary on demand. That
[42:57] is a search without a warrant
[42:57] with capability and track and
[42:58] follow some of the sensitive
[42:59] locations such as the
[43:03] hospital. Immigration lawyer,
[43:04] hospice churches, their home,
[43:04] their doctor, Planned
[43:05] Parenthood, their therapist,
[43:07] their lover's home and it can
[43:11] be used against lawful
[43:12] protesters. Celebrate will be
[43:14] used extrajudicial distance
[43:16] Lee in the report attached the
[43:17] agenda when the original
[43:18] contract was discussed with
[43:18] City Council. It states in
[43:22] addition to warrants, it will
[43:25] be used with documented
[43:25] consent to search the mobile
[43:26] device by the authorized
[43:28] possessor of the device. And
[43:28] we know health consent is
[43:32] obtained. All this data is
[43:34] sensitive and does not prevent
[43:35] crime. Stop the surveillance
[43:44] state cance the contracts now.
[43:47] Hello. My name is Angela Max.
[43:47] And I'm against is having any
[43:50] contract with flock. I've
[43:51] discovered a lot of really
[43:52] scary things about this
[43:55] company. They claim that they
[43:58] don't know where their data is
[43:59] being ai centers. It's Amazon
[44:02] ai center. Amazon says they to
[44:02] a globally depending on
[44:04] whatever the local laws are.
[44:06] So if it's legal here, they
[44:07] can do it in a different
[44:08] country or China and we don't
[44:09] have any control a piece
[44:11] looking at the data on that
[44:13] end today. Don't come any
[44:14] liability for the abuses in
[44:15] the system or try to build any
[44:19] way to stop the abuses. They
[44:21] retroactively and stop and say
[44:22] there was no data breach
[44:23] because basically 7 months ago
[44:23] that when even passports on
[44:28] these cameras. And it did
[44:29] partnership that they have
[44:30] that give the day to ice. They
[44:31] claim that they don't keep the
[44:32] data and then the claim that
[44:33] they have royalties the data
[44:35] indefinitely, meaning they are
[44:37] keeping it, they might not be
[44:38] doing it now, but they might
[44:39] sell it in the future that
[44:40] might be bought by a different
[44:41] company in the future. It
[44:42] would explain why they're not
[44:43] scared of liability because
[44:44] they plan on selling for just
[44:54] selling our data. Welcome
[44:56] back, everyone. I am pleased
[44:59] to see that after 100 plan
[44:59] care to name great public. Can
[45:01] you state your name for the
[45:09] record? All Satan is Excuse
[45:10] Hi. My name is Bree a woman. I
[45:11] she her pronouns. I'm a
[45:14] constituent for district 3 and
[45:15] I am very pleased to what
[45:16] happened earlier this member
[45:17] of the public eye causing your
[45:18] time. Mississauga. Do you give
[45:21] her your time? Ma'am? You can
[45:22] proceed East Army over then.
[45:25] You can proceed. This is not
[45:26] as giving your time. All
[45:30] right. I'm gonna scratch out
[45:31] that first part then because
[45:32] if you can't various that it
[45:33] to be here today because not
[45:35] to not only repeat myself, but
[45:35] to also hear my peers repeat
[45:38] themselves as well. I play I
[45:39] hope that you don't take my
[45:40] sarcasm is disrespect to try
[45:41] to put yourself in my shoes
[45:42] right? That as a young black
[45:44] woman, a 4th generation,
[45:46] Oakland native, that you as my
[45:47] representatives have decided
[45:50] to continue the flock
[45:51] expansion and explicitly
[45:52] expressed the complete
[45:55] disregard for my privacy that
[45:56] despite our budget deficit and
[45:58] utilize resources, a big and
[45:59] historical lack of police
[46:00] accountability still like to
[46:02] dump money into the system of
[46:03] enslavement and policing that
[46:04] was created to ineffectively
[46:06] harms every single day. The
[46:06] privacy lawsuit against fox
[46:09] should have been enough. The
[46:10] open budget deficit should
[46:11] have been an up and simply the
[46:13] outrage of your constituents
[46:14] should have been enough for
[46:15] you to say no in NOVEMBER and
[46:17] should be enough for you to
[46:18] say no. Now I don't appreciate
[46:19] the interest and I don't
[46:31] appreciate you guys cut. Thank
[46:32] you for your comments.
[46:34] Switching to Zoom user Blair,
[46:34] please unmute yourself and
[46:40] begin your comment. We need to
[46:41] move next speaker. Thank you
[46:45] so much. You no pillow. Hello,
[46:47] I'm I'm here. I'm here. Blair
[46:49] Beekman hi player. You
[46:50] continue. Thank you. Right.
[46:55] Thank you. I had kind of be
[46:55] moving and take get into a
[46:57] good position to speak and
[46:59] out. Biden public. Thank you
[47:02] for this item. I'm trusting
[47:05] your choice of police chief
[47:06] I'm not trusting how you're
[47:09] talking about block. When you
[47:11] voted for blocking DECEMBER of
[47:12] last year with the the
[47:12] attention, the police that
[47:14] they had to get the contract
[47:16] signed immediately. Where is
[47:18] the contract signing Park?
[47:18] That's right. Now is the
[47:19] actually been finding was at
[47:21] least with not signed. That's
[47:23] part of why you're not talking
[47:25] to us right now. And I feel
[47:29] you owe that Find or not. We
[47:31] could have been working you
[47:32] have a pay cut plan. Que lead
[47:35] to future o'clock. Few years
[47:35] time we could have been
[47:37] working on a one-year time
[47:38] praying. But you guys are
[47:39] putting things off and you are
[47:41] being incredibly on
[47:42] accountable with some really
[47:48] basic good ideas. Can we bring
[47:48] together good ideas and you
[47:49] guys be more accountable to
[47:50] the process? I think waiting
[47:52] to SEPTEMBER OCTOBER, you kind
[47:52] Thank you for your comments.
[47:58] Your time is up. Simon. Please
[48:00] unmute yourself. Did you sign
[48:01] up to speak on item number 8?
[48:01] And if so, what name did you
[48:05] sign up under? It should be
[48:06] Simon, Renee, I'm sorry. I do
[48:07] not have a speaker card filled
[48:12] out for you. Calling him the
[48:14] names that sign up the
[48:14] remaining names. Elizabeth
[48:18] Cochrane Noel for us and hot.
[48:18] Okay at this time on didn't
[48:21] have been called. Council
[48:27] member Brown. Excellent. Thank
[48:28] you so much. I just wanted to
[48:30] ask clarifying question
[48:32] because I know that when we
[48:34] were discussing, I think all
[48:35] of these items, you know, one
[48:36] of the things that we request,
[48:38] it was like an annual report
[48:41] back. And I know that these
[48:41] reports customarily go through
[48:44] the Privacy Commission, right?
[48:45] And so can I just get some
[48:46] clarity as far as why we have
[48:48] the side for us today. And I
[48:52] feel like the title is a
[48:56] misleading because it says to
[48:57] item number 2, making a
[49:00] determination, determination,
[49:02] whether the city should
[49:03] continue its use was the
[49:04] report back from the Privacy
[49:06] Commission around the annual
[49:09] reports. As far as all
[49:10] reports. When we presented to
[49:10] the Privacy Advisory
[49:13] Commission. I know all were
[49:17] proven past forward as far as
[49:18] delay in time. I'm not too
[49:20] sure why. I know there is some
[49:22] scheduling issues, but far as
[49:23] any more specifics, I'm not
[49:31] sure. Go ahead. Councilmember
[49:32] Brown. Okay. And then my next
[49:37] question since we pull item.
[49:38] Since a portion of the eye of
[49:41] the item was pulled item a and
[49:44] this was supposed to be an up
[49:47] day for the 2025. Reports and
[49:50] we're going to get this now
[49:51] even later where we've well
[49:54] into the fall. What's what's
[49:55] the status of the reports for,
[50:00] I guess like 6 months into
[50:03] 2026 or we get a report on
[50:04] this year, I think normally I
[50:05] could be wrong. We normally
[50:06] present to the Privacy
[50:08] Advisory Commission. Lost my
[50:12] voice newsy in APRIL. That's
[50:14] if that's something we need to
[50:15] re-evaluate. We can but
[50:15] usually prevent we present in
[50:22] APRIL. So this 2025 reported
[50:24] was presented to the Privacy
[50:25] Commission in APRIL of this
[50:27] year. I have to double check
[50:36] that. Do you have another
[50:39] question? Are you want to? I'm
[50:42] sorry about that I know I
[50:45] offer this report. It says MAY
[50:46] 7, 2026. 0, can I have to
[50:46] double check to see exactly
[50:47] when it was scheduled and
[50:51] present. Yeah, I'm I'm just
[50:53] I'm just raising that because,
[50:54] you know, by the time we get
[50:55] this information and data, you
[50:58] know, will be on standby,
[50:59] really interested in what the
[50:59] data is for the for the
[51:01] current year. That's just my
[51:04] feedback. Ok? Thank you.
[51:04] Councilmember Brown
[51:07] Councilmember Houston. To the
[51:10] chair. Are you doing sir?
[51:17] Still as representative of
[51:20] District 7, I get emails calls
[51:21] that support his flock. I
[51:23] mean, I don't get that many
[51:30] that bad. So. What to
[51:31] Councilmember Brown of you
[51:33] get, you know, e-mails about
[51:34] it from my district. I'm not
[51:35] saying I'm time my district
[51:36] for meals to the schip. Bill
[51:38] bill is to Lotus second
[51:40] railroad tracks, they say they
[51:44] want they want to protection.
[51:45] So I'm here and tell
[51:47] different. And so I want to
[51:48] know the U.S. Is from district
[51:52] 7. District said district
[51:56] saying from District 7, MISS
[51:56] It. You how you feel about
[52:00] tough love. Okay. So I'm
[52:05] saying this that my history
[52:06] fly. Right. So I want to move
[52:11] this. I want to move Okay. And
[52:12] and to be clear, we're going
[52:16] to be. Councilmember Houston.
[52:18] If you couldn't move the item
[52:18] without exhibit a actually are
[52:23] exhibit. Subsection a exhibit
[52:25] e which is alpr item because
[52:29] the request from opd is to
[52:31] actually present this in the
[52:34] fall time for later this year.
[52:40] That's correct. It's exhibit e
[52:42] it's the attachment exhibit e
[52:44] but it is item. Like some item
[52:48] a. That like to move it like
[52:50] that? 10, not people want from
[52:56] a move. Just so the public was
[52:58] clear. This vote actually
[52:59] removes the alpr item from
[53:01] this from today's vote. We
[53:02] will return to this in the
[53:07] fall time. And I will to be
[53:08] determined. I will second
[53:15] that. Thank you. We have a
[53:16] motion made by Councilmember
[53:19] Houston second by Chair Wang
[53:20] to approve as amended the
[53:23] recommendations of staff and

[53:58] The title also changed to
[53:59] remove the lpr information.
[54:03] Thanks. So noted. Now going
[54:06] back to the original order of
[54:07] the agenda, reading in item
[54:15] number 3. Adopt a resolution
[54:15] authorizing the city
[54:16] administrator or designee to
[54:18] enter into an operation on it
[54:19] area agreement with Alameda
[54:22] County to participate and
[54:23] intermediate level of the
[54:23] State of Emergency Services
[54:24] organization that will comply
[54:26] with the state of California
[54:29] Sanitize Emergency management
[54:31] systems for the period of For
[54:32] the period from edification to
[54:35] DECEMBER 31st. 2000. 35 and we
[54:40] have 3 speakers on this item.
[54:41] Okay. Do we have a
[54:41] representative from a lefty
[54:48] here? Good afternoon. Good all
[54:50] the pro. And this is the
[54:51] emergency manager for the city
[54:54] of Oakland from the fire
[54:55] Department. Okay. It has
[54:55] please ahead. The floor is
[55:02] yours. The Oakland City
[55:04] Council has adopted this
[55:05] original 10 year, all
[55:06] operational area agreement in
[55:12] 1990, hi. And then
[55:13] subsequently on 1/11/2006, and
[55:14] that one has expired on
[55:19] DECEMBER 2025. Alameda County
[55:23] has just approved their
[55:25] agreement with Alameda County
[55:26] agencies. Both government, non
[55:30] government nonprofit. To
[55:33] participate in this
[55:34] organization. There's no cost
[55:37] to the city of Oakland. It is
[55:40] really for coordination of the
[55:41] resources, information and
[55:41] mutual aid during disasters
[55:48] and emergencies. Great. I'm
[55:49] not seeing any comments or
[55:49] questions from my colleagues.
[55:50] So let's first go to public
[55:54] comment. Calling in the names
[55:55] that signed up to speak on
[55:55] item number 3, Jesse Rose
[55:56] Morris, not all Linda Blair
[56:10] Beekman.
[56:10] Hi, sorry on that
[56:11] last in that deliberation.
[56:13] Just now I'm just here as more
[56:15] on. Seems like you guys can
[56:17] even get straight what you
[56:18] snuck into the agenda and such
[56:19] a long, lengthy pack it out.
[56:20] Now one of our public speakers
[56:21] had a print it out. Can see
[56:25] how thick it was. And you gave
[56:26] one minute per person for all
[56:26] of that. Okay. So for this
[56:30] item here. Page who says the
[56:31] Alameda County sheriff will be
[56:33] the operational area
[56:35] coordinator and that we will
[56:36] have to count on them in the
[56:39] case of a disaster. And since
[56:41] we care about flock, we care
[56:42] about what's happening with
[56:43] flock in Alameda County. And
[56:44] we have seen the Alameda
[56:46] County Sheriff lie point blank
[56:47] to the public about what is
[56:50] happening with flock and what
[56:50] they've done around. There's
[56:51] their public outreach on the
[56:54] item. It isn't page 2 and
[56:55] looking at page 2, it says
[56:56] that that's going that's we're
[56:56] going to be counting on for
[57:00] these emergency services. They
[57:01] in public outreach said that
[57:03] nobody had any concerns about
[57:05] flock when they ram this
[57:06] through the Alameda County
[57:07] Board of Supervisors and
[57:08] several public commenters
[57:16] called them out for line. So
[57:19] one of the one of the big that
[57:24] is a big challenge. Is when we
[57:25] have evacuation procedures and
[57:30] it involves all students. Usd
[57:32] is not a neighborhood school
[57:32] district. It is a choice
[57:35] district. We have children
[57:38] scattered throughout the city.
[57:40] And that's going to be more
[57:41] challenging the neighborhoods
[57:42] when I lived in New Orleans
[57:44] and we had an emergency
[57:45] parents will call and he would
[57:47] run to come pick up the kids.
[57:52] Can't do that. 7 the larger
[57:53] percent all children are
[57:54] spread throughout the city.
[57:55] What happens to those
[57:57] children? When they separated
[58:01] from their parents? And we
[58:02] have to do something to
[58:03] protect them house and get
[58:04] them back home. This
[58:10] challenging Skyline. 1400
[58:11] students, no evacuation
[58:16] process. In place except to
[58:16] shelter in place on the
[58:17] football field. In the case of
[58:23] love. Thank you for comments.
[58:31] Missile of Thank you, sir.
[58:32] Switching to Zoom user Blair,
[58:33] you use up and begin your
[58:39] comment. I'm an agreement with
[58:41] the first public comment a lot
[58:43] of important items on the
[58:45] previous agenda item. Really
[58:46] needs like a minute 30, that
[58:47] additional 30nd be a lot of
[58:49] help. I hope you could learn
[58:52] that sort like the ability and
[58:53] Peter public meeting mid 30's
[58:54] definitely need to win. The
[58:55] item is brought to counsel.
[58:56] Good luck in that effort to
[58:57] consider that concept. We one
[58:59] 30 a bit more. Think not all
[59:01] the time. Just a bit more. I
[59:06] want to comment for this item
[59:08] yeah, I you know, the work the
[59:13] person are weighing doing the
[59:14] international boulevard issues
[59:18] around 12th Street. And so I
[59:19] can office of Emergency
[59:19] Services at the California
[59:23] state level be of help. And I
[59:24] suppose the story of item can
[59:25] be helpful in in working with
[59:28] Alameda County and such. It's
[59:30] towards, you know, not law
[59:32] enforcement. That's why part
[59:34] of Office of Emergency
[59:35] Services to address the
[59:35] California Office of Emergency
[59:36] Services. Good Luck and that
[59:38] content. Thank you. Thank you
[59:39] for your comments. Sure. That
[59:39] includes all speakers on item
[59:43] 3. Thank you, Clark. Yes, so
[59:45] thank you for bringing this
[59:49] item before us. I do have just
[59:51] a question around how often
[59:52] the mutual aid comes to
[59:55] Oakland versus when the city
[59:56] of Oakland supporting our
[1:00:03] neighboring jurisdictions.
[1:00:04] There's a mutual aid agreement
[1:00:05] fire and police. And this is
[1:00:08] not part of that. This for
[1:00:09] emergency services for
[1:00:10] planning response and recovery
[1:00:16] purposes. Only. This board.
[1:00:18] They on a county into 2 was
[1:00:22] created after the 1991 Oakland
[1:00:23] And this is in the California
[1:00:28] code. To ensure that we all
[1:00:30] agencies in Alameda County,
[1:00:32] both government, not a
[1:00:33] government and non-profit and
[1:00:35] special districts that we all
[1:00:37] have a way to coordinate with
[1:00:39] each other to create a mutual
[1:00:42] trainings and exercises which
[1:00:42] enhance our capacity to
[1:00:47] respond. And according to
[1:00:47] Sam's the standardized
[1:00:50] emergency management System
[1:00:54] and National Incident Command
[1:00:55] system, the way people work.
[1:00:57] The disaster is always local.
[1:00:58] It starts in in the
[1:01:01] jurisdictions in this case say
[1:01:02] Oakland, then once we lost our
[1:01:05] resources in Oakland in all or
[1:01:06] some capacity, then it goes to
[1:01:08] the operational area, which
[1:01:10] for us is the county. And that
[1:01:12] is what is stop is established
[1:01:12] by the California code
[1:01:17] following the 91 opened fire.
[1:01:18] If the county is out of
[1:01:20] resources can no longer
[1:01:23] support us, then it goes to
[1:01:23] the region and then the state
[1:01:24] and then federal. So that's
[1:01:28] the progression of response
[1:01:31] being closely connected to the
[1:01:33] Alameda County ensures that we
[1:01:36] as all cities get support one
[1:01:37] another if we are affected
[1:01:39] than others and not them, the
[1:01:40] resources can come from them
[1:01:41] through the Alameda County
[1:01:43] Coordination. So that's an
[1:01:44] important part of this
[1:01:47] partnership. Plus, training
[1:01:47] and less exercise because no
[1:01:49] one jurisdiction has the
[1:01:52] capacity or the finances to
[1:01:54] create enough trainings and
[1:01:56] exercises to train city staff
[1:01:57] to train our partners in
[1:02:00] church community. Okay. Great.
[1:02:01] So that's a helpful
[1:02:03] clarification. So this is
[1:02:04] really pertaining to natural
[1:02:06] disaster. Planning it. It
[1:02:07] sounds like not so much mutual
[1:02:10] aid as it pertains to either
[1:02:11] law enforcement Okay. That's
[1:02:12] that's a separate issue
[1:02:15] altogether. Different code.
[1:02:17] Okay. So you know, this
[1:02:18] pertains to preparedness
[1:02:20] reminisce response, recovery
[1:02:22] and mitigation. So we all work
[1:02:25] together to ensure our
[1:02:25] collective reading is not just
[1:02:27] for natural disasters, manmade
[1:02:30] as Cyber attack that we've
[1:02:33] spent a couple of years We
[1:02:34] were we had were heavily
[1:02:36] relying on the county and also
[1:02:37] I think jurisdictional
[1:02:38] experience with similar tax to
[1:02:39] ensure that we take the right
[1:02:40] steps. And employee right
[1:02:43] partnerships. Okay. Great one
[1:02:44] final question. Then I'll turn
[1:02:46] it over to Councilmember Brown
[1:02:47] is just have you all been
[1:02:50] looking into just the or
[1:02:52] coordinating of like the text
[1:02:52] alerts and just notifications
[1:02:57] to residents in the case of a
[1:02:58] serious incident. Absolutely.
[1:03:01] In fact, we're getting ready
[1:03:02] deplore a campaign for a
[1:03:04] sailor which stands for
[1:03:06] Alameda County alerting System
[1:03:08] many of such tools are
[1:03:10] available through the county
[1:03:10] because again, the
[1:03:11] municipalities don't have the
[1:03:14] resources to buy platforms and
[1:03:16] so forth and So we do have a
[1:03:17] see a lurch in the city of
[1:03:20] Oakland. We have 2 levels.
[1:03:22] It's an opt in system. So
[1:03:24] people have to sign We have
[1:03:25] one that is specific to the
[1:03:27] city of Oakland when we have
[1:03:29] something that is important to
[1:03:32] staff based on location or an
[1:03:33] incident. And then we also
[1:03:35] have a resident alert. And in
[1:03:36] fact, those who were signed up
[1:03:40] for a sailor on JULY 4 prior
[1:03:43] to JULY 4th, prior to JULY,
[1:03:44] 3rd would have received 2
[1:03:45] alerts indicating the street
[1:03:47] closures for JULY 4th
[1:03:49] celebrations any other
[1:03:49] important information that
[1:03:52] needed to be distributed show
[1:03:54] our residents and our visitors
[1:03:54] knew where when and how to get
[1:03:57] around the city. So we do
[1:04:00] deploy ac alert regularly,
[1:04:02] both for internal staff for
[1:04:05] things that matter to
[1:04:07] particular department and to
[1:04:08] our residents when it doesn't
[1:04:08] have to be disaster. JULY 4th
[1:04:11] with a celebration. That's
[1:04:11] good to know. Thank you.
[1:04:16] Councilmember Brown.
[1:04:17] Excellent. Thank you so much
[1:04:19] for the report. I'm very
[1:04:21] familiar with the emergency
[1:04:22] management kind of protocol
[1:04:23] and system. I got to take a
[1:04:25] handful, of course, is on
[1:04:27] emergency management. And so I
[1:04:28] know that is very complex. But
[1:04:31] it also requires, as you
[1:04:33] mention, you know, working
[1:04:35] across all of our governmental
[1:04:38] systems, right to ensure its
[1:04:41] success. So my question is one
[1:04:43] of can you just at a high
[1:04:45] level, maybe share with me
[1:04:46] given that we're going to
[1:04:50] enter into a contract that
[1:04:50] that is about, you know, a
[1:04:53] years long, pretty lengthy. He
[1:04:54] walked me through, like what
[1:04:57] are some of the court nation
[1:04:57] efforts that will that will
[1:05:01] kind of take place to ensure
[1:05:02] you know, just continued
[1:05:05] coordination like either, you
[1:05:06] know, 6 months check, ins are
[1:05:08] like what? What is the how how
[1:05:11] is the relationship like
[1:05:11] genuinely maintained?
[1:05:13] Absolutely. Is a question.
[1:05:15] Thank you. So this this
[1:05:16] agreement is between as the
[1:05:17] city of Oakland and Alameda
[1:05:20] County in every other
[1:05:22] jurisdiction, governments
[1:05:23] government, non-profit special
[1:05:25] districts also entering into
[1:05:26] this agreement on their
[1:05:31] behalf. So So what happens is
[1:05:32] we need quarterly and by we I
[1:05:33] don't mean that certainly I
[1:05:34] go. But somebody from it will
[1:05:37] go to the quarterly meetings.
[1:05:40] We also have a monthly Check
[1:05:41] just with the government
[1:05:41] entities. So that's
[1:05:45] specialized for government. We
[1:05:47] have joint training
[1:05:48] opportunities several times a
[1:05:49] year. A little bit hard to
[1:05:51] quantify. Sometimes it's
[1:05:52] months. And then sometimes
[1:05:53] it's every other month. You
[1:05:56] know, that sort of probably
[1:05:59] have about dozen training
[1:06:02] opportunities a year just our
[1:06:04] counties. Alameda County's who
[1:06:05] takes that on who runs the the
[1:06:07] expense organization of it and
[1:06:07] all of it for for us to take
[1:06:14] advantage of it. We also
[1:06:16] multiple exercises a years
[1:06:17] some big, some small. What
[1:06:19] also the county does for all
[1:06:21] of our jurisdictions. They
[1:06:23] organize planning one of the
[1:06:24] blessings that we have so far
[1:06:25] this year. What's what's in
[1:06:30] response? And before anybody
[1:06:32] says we are at risk for maybe
[1:06:34] not a huge risk but risk. So
[1:06:35] we city of Oakland
[1:06:38] participated with the city of
[1:06:39] county and the contractor that
[1:06:40] they hired to create
[1:06:44] oakland-alameda specific
[1:06:45] tsunami plan. If that happens,
[1:06:46] what do we do in the county?
[1:06:47] Other county agencies were
[1:06:53] involved but plans
[1:06:53] additionally with just
[1:06:55] planning how train elected
[1:07:00] officials. On emergency
[1:07:02] response. We haven't ruled it
[1:07:04] out. The work has just been
[1:07:07] completed. But at some point
[1:07:08] you all of our elected elected
[1:07:10] officials will get a very nice
[1:07:12] booklet that spells out. And
[1:07:14] this happens. This is what is
[1:07:15] need that if that happens,
[1:07:17] this is what is needed and
[1:07:19] will conduct the training for
[1:07:20] just the city of Oakland
[1:07:21] elected officials. Those in
[1:07:23] just a few examples of how
[1:07:24] county supports the city of
[1:07:26] Oakland in other
[1:07:27] jurisdictions. Excellent.
[1:07:28] Thank you so much. And I know
[1:07:30] last year some of us myself
[1:07:32] and some of the other offices
[1:07:35] attended a training at o c
[1:07:37] Around. You there's a handful
[1:07:37] of things that we that we got
[1:07:41] the opportunity to align. So
[1:07:42] if my colleagues haven't had
[1:07:44] the opportunity to do it was
[1:07:45] very insightful. And the team
[1:07:46] that we have working at the
[1:07:49] dot, they are phenomenal.
[1:07:50] Excellent. So thank you so
[1:07:51] much for that report. I'm
[1:07:54] happy to move the item, ok?
[1:07:55] Great. I will second that I
[1:07:56] just have one more comment to
[1:07:58] make it. I was making the
[1:07:59] connection what actually my
[1:08:01] questions before around the
[1:08:05] alert systems. I remember
[1:08:07] reading about Maui and when
[1:08:09] there was that wildfire and
[1:08:11] the fact that the sirens did
[1:08:12] not deploy and I think it
[1:08:15] looks like in San Francisco.
[1:08:16] Because there has not been the
[1:08:19] funding. The siren system is
[1:08:20] currently offline. I don't
[1:08:20] know the status here in
[1:08:23] Alameda County, but I do think
[1:08:24] that is something for us to
[1:08:27] ensure that we have that up
[1:08:28] and running. Since we know
[1:08:32] with climate change. A natural
[1:08:34] disaster is inevitable as evil
[1:08:35] as you yourself have stated
[1:08:36] with the tsunami risk
[1:08:39] wildfires, everything and so I
[1:08:40] want to make sure that we have
[1:08:42] that in place and that we're
[1:08:44] we're ready is a county and
[1:08:47] the city. Just need Sure.
[1:08:51] Yeah. Sleuthing. So it the
[1:08:51] counting this particular would
[1:08:53] have anything to do with this.
[1:08:53] The city of Oakland maintains
[1:08:57] its own siren system. We test
[1:08:58] sirens every month on the
[1:09:01] first Wednesday at noon, I
[1:09:03] would one sound for a minute
[1:09:05] us out. If you hear the siren
[1:09:06] on any other day of the week,
[1:09:09] any other time. There are 3
[1:09:10] types of Jones, but don't
[1:09:13] expect everyone remember If
[1:09:15] you hear something, then go to
[1:09:17] the official news resource we
[1:09:20] most of our sirens are fully
[1:09:21] functional and operational. We
[1:09:24] have a couple that are
[1:09:25] currently maintenance status.
[1:09:26] But this sirens scheme on
[1:09:27] around the city such that even
[1:09:30] if one is out, there are
[1:09:32] others around the area about
[1:09:33] what that would sound. So
[1:09:37] nobody is without any sound.
[1:09:38] And we do testing regularly
[1:09:40] and we have 3 agency so to
[1:09:40] speak that are responsible for
[1:09:43] activation in case need that.
[1:09:44] And that would be through the
[1:09:46] fire dispatch. Police dispatch
[1:09:47] or emergency management or the
[1:09:51] radio group of Public works
[1:09:53] great. So it sounds like
[1:09:54] Francisco, our siren system is
[1:09:57] in fact working. Correct. And
[1:09:58] we do work with to shop for
[1:10:01] public works. And with public
[1:10:03] electricians and Eugenie and
[1:10:05] so forth to ensure that all of
[1:10:06] our signs or an operational
[1:10:10] condition. But yes, it is
[1:10:12] aging infrastructure. So every
[1:10:12] now and then for one reason or
[1:10:14] another wanted sirens will go
[1:10:16] off line. But we are
[1:10:17] maintaining them. We are
[1:10:20] upgrading them by we I mean,
[1:10:21] the city majority that there's
[1:10:23] only 2 of them that are county
[1:10:24] maintenance. Great. Thank you.
[1:10:28] Let's move to the Thank you.
[1:10:29] We have a motion made by
[1:10:30] Councilmember bound second by
[1:10:33] Chair Wang to approve the
[1:10:34] recommendations of stop and
[1:10:35] support this item to the JULY
[1:10:37] 20 per City Council agenda on
[1:10:37] $0.10, honorable
[1:10:43] councilmembers. And Cher. Wang
[1:10:49] I thank you. Item passes with
[1:10:49] 3 eyes when excused by to port
[1:10:49] this item to the JULY 21st
[1:10:52] City Council agenda on consent
[1:10:53] reading in item for adopt a
[1:10:54] resolution accepting the
[1:10:55] Department of Violence
[1:10:59] Prevention's 2026 apricots
[1:11:01] annual report and approving
[1:11:02] ended policy has approved by
[1:11:03] the Privacy Advisory
[1:11:06] Commission on JUNE 4th, 2026
[1:11:07] and there are 4 speakers that
[1:11:08] signed up to speak on this
[1:11:12] item. Go ahead and take away
[1:11:16] the floor is yours. Thank you.
[1:11:17] Good evening, Councilmembers.
[1:11:18] Jenny Lind she deputy chief of
[1:11:19] grants programs and evaluation
[1:11:21] for the Department Violence
[1:11:22] Prevention and Wait for most
[1:11:27] lines. Great. So I am
[1:11:29] presenting on our apricot
[1:11:30] 3.60, annual report and update
[1:11:34] it. Use policy. High-level pre
[1:11:37] cut 3.60 Is a cloud-based
[1:11:38] system developed by on Terra
[1:11:39] for use by social service
[1:11:40] providers to track service
[1:11:42] delivery and grant management
[1:11:44] tasks. This is the system that
[1:11:45] the Department Violence
[1:11:47] Prevention uses for our own
[1:11:49] internal direct service staff
[1:11:51] and also for the agencies that
[1:11:52] we fund to enter information
[1:11:56] about service delivery. The
[1:11:57] system was first approved by
[1:11:59] the Privacy Advisory Committee
[1:12:03] Shun and City Council JULY of
[1:12:04] 2022, it was then customized
[1:12:04] and implemented by the dpp in
[1:12:07] JANUARY of 2023. Replacing our
[1:12:10] old System City's ban. And
[1:12:12] since then, we've had annual
[1:12:13] reports and use policies
[1:12:14] approved by the Privacy
[1:12:17] Advisory Commission. Every
[1:12:18] JUNE since JUNE 2024. 2025 and
[1:12:21] most recently 2026. The system
[1:12:25] has multiple uses for direct
[1:12:27] service staff both employed by
[1:12:28] the dpp and by the agencies
[1:12:30] that we fund the system can be
[1:12:34] used to track enrollment
[1:12:36] service, engagement milestones
[1:12:37] and outcomes for individuals
[1:12:40] who are engaged services and
[1:12:40] then additionally for agencies
[1:12:43] that deliver group level
[1:12:44] services, it tracks
[1:12:47] information such as
[1:12:47] attendance, duration content
[1:12:51] of group services. For
[1:12:53] supervisory staff again within
[1:12:54] the dp and our friend of
[1:12:55] agencies. They can use the
[1:12:57] system to review the services
[1:12:58] that are being delivered by
[1:12:59] the individuals. They
[1:13:00] supervise to monitor service
[1:13:01] delivery and track performance
[1:13:08] metrics. Grant Management
[1:13:09] staff both within the dp and
[1:13:10] are funded agencies use the
[1:13:12] system to track budgets been
[1:13:13] down. So we have reports that
[1:13:14] are automatically generated
[1:13:17] every quarter to to show how
[1:13:19] expenses are being spent
[1:13:20] various categories. It's how
[1:13:22] we track progress on contract
[1:13:24] deliverables that we also have
[1:13:25] a standard report for every
[1:13:25] contract that's based on the
[1:13:27] service deliverables in scopes
[1:13:29] of work. And it shows exactly
[1:13:30] where agencies are supposed to
[1:13:32] be every quarter and then
[1:13:36] where they actually are. And
[1:13:37] then we use it to receive and
[1:13:40] process quarterly invoices. So
[1:13:40] every quarter agencies input
[1:13:43] information about what they
[1:13:44] did a quarter about their
[1:13:45] expenses, we review all the
[1:13:45] information. That's how we
[1:13:49] process voices. A few select
[1:13:50] program staff within the dp
[1:13:53] Use the system to coordinate
[1:13:55] services between agencies and
[1:13:56] support Effective
[1:13:56] implementations of example of
[1:13:57] this is the violence
[1:14:01] interruption services. We fund
[1:14:01] for community-based
[1:14:02] organizations to deliver
[1:14:03] violence interruption in
[1:14:05] services in Oakland. But the
[1:14:06] deep he also has internal the
[1:14:08] eyes to kind of quarterback
[1:14:09] that work. And so the ability
[1:14:13] for them to see updates that
[1:14:14] are being entered by the
[1:14:14] various agencies is very
[1:14:15] helpful in coordinating the
[1:14:19] response. And then lastly, due
[1:14:20] to an evaluation staff use the
[1:14:21] system to summarize service
[1:14:25] delivery information for
[1:14:25] reports to counsel to
[1:14:29] commissions to funders to
[1:14:30] monitor consent form
[1:14:31] completion and eligibility
[1:14:34] criteria. So we have standard
[1:14:35] eligibility criteria for gun
[1:14:36] violence services, for
[1:14:38] instance, or one data
[1:14:39] specialist make sure that that
[1:14:42] those criteria being met and
[1:14:43] then of their data entry
[1:14:43] errors, there's regular checks
[1:14:49] on that. For the annual year
[1:14:51] of 2025, the system was used
[1:14:53] by approximately 36 staff from
[1:14:56] the dp and 170 Community-based
[1:14:59] organizations. There were also
[1:15:01] individual records entered for
[1:15:02] about 2400 individuals.
[1:15:07] Participants in services. In
[1:15:09] terms of data sharing de
[1:15:11] identified data for all
[1:15:12] participants and then
[1:15:13] personally identifiable
[1:15:14] information, which means name
[1:15:15] and date of birth for
[1:15:16] individuals who provided their
[1:15:19] affirmative consent shared
[1:15:21] with the same party in 2
[1:15:24] different occasions. One was
[1:15:26] Urban Institute for their
[1:15:28] evaluation of Measure z funded
[1:15:28] services and one was Urban
[1:15:29] Institute for their evaluation
[1:15:33] of a state grant that we have.
[1:15:35] We have had no complaints or
[1:15:36] concerns raised about the
[1:15:37] system regarding its
[1:15:41] protection of civil rights are
[1:15:42] civil liberties. And our data
[1:15:43] analyst is in frequent
[1:15:44] communication with grantees
[1:15:46] about a number of things. And
[1:15:47] when he receives feedback on
[1:15:48] how ways to improve the system
[1:15:49] are additional things that
[1:15:50] they want. Clark did. We're
[1:15:54] happy to make those changes or
[1:15:54] develop reports that would be
[1:15:55] helpful for them to monitor
[1:16:00] service delivery. Service
[1:16:01] delivery. Information in a pre
[1:16:03] cut is limited to high-level
[1:16:04] information. So it's number
[1:16:08] and duration of contacts and
[1:16:10] service outcomes personally,
[1:16:12] information is only required
[1:16:12] for adults who are receiving
[1:16:14] services related to gun
[1:16:16] violence. It is not required
[1:16:19] for youth at all or for
[1:16:20] individuals who are receiving
[1:16:20] services related to
[1:16:25] gender-based violence. This is
[1:16:26] a high-level overview of the
[1:16:28] reason the city breakdown of
[1:16:29] individuals who are entered a
[1:16:30] neighbor caught being served
[1:16:33] by Dbpr gdp, funded
[1:16:35] organization services. If you
[1:16:35] take away the missing, these
[1:16:36] percentages are actually
[1:16:38] slightly higher. Still, the
[1:16:39] majority of individuals being
[1:16:41] served are African-American or
[1:16:44] Latino that closely mirrors
[1:16:45] the breakdown of recent city
[1:16:46] for individuals impacted by
[1:16:48] gun violence and domestic
[1:16:48] violence and commercial sexual
[1:16:50] exploitation in Oakland, which
[1:16:50] is what we're charged to
[1:16:56] reduce. We regularly review
[1:16:58] There have been not been any
[1:16:59] violations or potential
[1:17:01] violations of use policy to
[1:17:02] date that we're aware of. Also
[1:17:04] been no data breaches are
[1:17:05] unauthorized access. And we
[1:17:06] have had no public records
[1:17:07] request pertaining to the
[1:17:13] system. The annual cost of the
[1:17:14] system in upcoming fiscal year
[1:17:16] is $125,000. Approximately
[1:17:17] half of that will come from
[1:17:19] our general purpose fund. And
[1:17:20] then we try to write in a
[1:17:21] portion of that into every
[1:17:22] extra grant that we got about.
[1:17:23] Half of that is funded by
[1:17:30] external grants. In terms of
[1:17:31] efficacy. Apricot 3.60,
[1:17:32] invaluable in our work. In
[1:17:35] many ways, it's allowed us to
[1:17:37] ensure alignment with best
[1:17:38] practices, specifically ready
[1:17:38] relating to cease-fire
[1:17:42] lifeline. So our Chief Holly
[1:17:43] Joshi, our deputy Chief
[1:17:44] Danielle Medina, who oversee
[1:17:48] all of that word they receive
[1:17:48] weekly performance reports
[1:17:50] where they're able to see
[1:17:51] exactly what all of the life
[1:17:51] coaches and violence
[1:17:52] Interrupters are doing to
[1:17:54] implement the model. And sure,
[1:17:55] but they're having the high
[1:17:56] touch plants that are required
[1:18:00] to achieve impact. It's also
[1:18:01] how we as we discussed in
[1:18:03] prior meetings, how we hold
[1:18:04] CEOs accountable it, how we
[1:18:06] track their performance
[1:18:07] metrics to make sure that
[1:18:07] their meeting, what we said
[1:18:08] that they were going to do in
[1:18:11] their scope support. It's how
[1:18:13] we coordinate service tear. It
[1:18:14] supports rather coordinating
[1:18:15] service delivery within the
[1:18:16] group strategy. As I
[1:18:18] mentioned, specifically around
[1:18:19] violence interruption. It
[1:18:21] allows us to easily summarized
[1:18:25] share data with it. Groups
[1:18:26] like City Council Oversight
[1:18:28] bodies, Public funders and
[1:18:30] then, of course, it is the
[1:18:33] source of data that we use for
[1:18:34] impact evaluations. So for the
[1:18:35] measure z funded evaluation
[1:18:35] evidence to it, this is the
[1:18:38] source of the data for any
[1:18:39] future evaluations that are
[1:18:40] funded measure. This is where
[1:18:45] the data will come from. And
[1:18:46] then lastly, we're proposing a
[1:18:47] one amendment to the use
[1:18:49] policy this year. The current
[1:18:53] use policy states that.
[1:18:53] Personally identify well
[1:18:55] information again, name and
[1:18:56] date of birth is not entered
[1:18:57] for individuals receiving
[1:18:59] services related to
[1:19:00] gender-based violence. We
[1:19:00] would like to just change that
[1:19:02] language to say is not
[1:19:03] required. We would like to
[1:19:07] just as we do for youth, give
[1:19:08] them the opportunity to opt
[1:19:10] into sharing data because it's
[1:19:11] so powerful and hopeful for
[1:19:13] evaluation purposes. That was
[1:19:14] one of the findings from
[1:19:15] Measure z evaluators was that
[1:19:17] they simply didn't have
[1:19:20] enough. They didn't have data
[1:19:21] at the individual level to be
[1:19:22] able to do impact evaluation
[1:19:24] for gender-based violence
[1:19:25] services. So with this change,
[1:19:26] we would simply be giving
[1:19:27] people the opportunity to say
[1:19:29] yes or now, of course, they
[1:19:31] can always ristaino and still
[1:19:31] services. There would be no
[1:19:35] bearing on not. And that
[1:19:35] concludes the presentation.
[1:19:38] I'm happy to take questions.
[1:19:43] Council member Brown. Not
[1:19:45] necessarily question, but more
[1:19:46] of a comment just in reading
[1:19:48] and reviewing the report. He
[1:19:51] seems very clear that program
[1:19:55] and like the system is working
[1:19:59] very well. And it also has a
[1:20:00] clear nexis to win. You all
[1:20:03] come back and share. Hey, how
[1:20:04] are these community-based
[1:20:06] organizations doing with the
[1:20:08] program services? And it also
[1:20:10] sounds like maybe we should
[1:20:11] duplicated in other
[1:20:12] departments, ku that utilize
[1:20:13] it as well because it just
[1:20:15] really seems like that it a
[1:20:19] It's a great tool to really
[1:20:20] collect the data and get the
[1:20:21] clear feedback. But thank you
[1:20:22] so much for that report.
[1:20:24] Really appreciate it. And
[1:20:25] through the chair to
[1:20:27] councilmember and just to add,
[1:20:30] it is a great tool. It's far
[1:20:31] superior to the former tool
[1:20:33] that we're using and allows us
[1:20:35] to again, not only track that
[1:20:37] he did that create all kinds
[1:20:38] of customizable reports that
[1:20:38] are really helpful for
[1:20:41] implementation. One thing
[1:20:43] that's very exciting is that
[1:20:44] we were able to about a year
[1:20:45] and a half ago. Pouch are
[1:20:46] former technical assistance
[1:20:49] provider from Terre and he's
[1:20:49] now an employee of the
[1:20:50] Department of Violence
[1:20:54] Prevention. So we have. Lot of
[1:20:55] this recipe to do really cool
[1:20:57] things if for some reason,
[1:20:59] another department adopt the
[1:21:00] technology would be happy to
[1:21:02] lend his expertise. That's
[1:21:03] phenomenal. Thank all. Make a
[1:21:06] motion to move the item well
[1:21:07] as good. Well done. What a way
[1:21:08] to fill are Councilmember
[1:21:13] Houston. To chair what to wear
[1:21:15] using prior to this the one
[1:21:18] that you're using prior? How's
[1:21:21] it being done before threw the
[1:21:22] chair to councilmember
[1:21:22] Houston. We're easing city
[1:21:26] spam. It's still needs believe
[1:21:27] by the Department of Human
[1:21:31] Services. Was not. We were not
[1:21:35] able to enter personally
[1:21:38] identify or like individual
[1:21:40] level data from the
[1:21:41] community-based organizations
[1:21:43] that we fund and then us
[1:21:45] people to summarize bought
[1:21:45] into deliverables and 2
[1:21:46] reports that were able to
[1:21:51] easily see. So the agencies
[1:21:52] were instant some entering
[1:21:53] already summarize data. So
[1:21:54] that would be boxes that say
[1:21:54] how many individuals that use
[1:21:58] or rather than entries of
[1:21:59] individuals served being
[1:22:00] summarizing reports that we
[1:22:01] can see. It gives us a little
[1:22:03] bit more accountability. And
[1:22:04] also support with service
[1:22:15] coordination. And then before
[1:22:15] I second the item, I just
[1:22:19] have. Of wealth. One comment,
[1:22:23] which is I do agree with my
[1:22:24] colleague. It sounds like this
[1:22:27] system has some use, say, for
[1:22:28] example, human services that
[1:22:32] we know has challenges around.
[1:22:33] Reimbursements that does a
[1:22:35] system actually support the
[1:22:36] reimbursement of the providers
[1:22:39] are. This is simply sort
[1:22:41] tracking performance metrics.
[1:22:45] We use it to prepare the
[1:22:45] invoice that is submitted into
[1:22:49] the ap portal. So the ap
[1:22:50] portal is still the system
[1:22:50] that is used to actually
[1:22:52] process the invoice and issue
[1:22:55] payment. But we use this to
[1:22:56] prepare all of the
[1:22:57] documentation that goes into
[1:23:00] the ap portal, including the
[1:23:01] itemized spend on of
[1:23:02] expenditures and the summary
[1:23:04] deliverables achieved. Okay.
[1:23:06] Interesting. And then just
[1:23:08] with regards to the amendment,
[1:23:09] I'm sure that you thought of
[1:23:11] this, but I just would like to
[1:23:15] vet this is given, of course,
[1:23:17] the data special data privacy
[1:23:18] needs for like a domestic
[1:23:19] violence victim or a
[1:23:20] trafficking victim. What
[1:23:24] privacy controls are privacy.
[1:23:25] Protections are included in
[1:23:27] the system to ensure that that
[1:23:32] the data can be misused so.
[1:23:34] The data are only access.
[1:23:35] Every user of the system has
[1:23:38] very specialized permissions.
[1:23:41] So any staff member to its
[1:23:42] community based organization,
[1:23:43] for instance, can only access
[1:23:43] data that they enter. Not that
[1:23:46] anyone else. And jurors. And
[1:23:49] that's the case for everyone.
[1:23:50] The exception to that is the
[1:23:51] data specialist who works for
[1:23:52] the dp and myself have
[1:23:54] slightly broader credentials.
[1:23:56] But for the most part,
[1:23:57] individuals to access the
[1:23:57] system only have access to the
[1:24:00] data that they enter. Somewhat
[1:24:03] related is in terms of
[1:24:04] providing consent for their
[1:24:06] personally identifiable
[1:24:08] information and to be They've
[1:24:09] they provide that can send it
[1:24:11] is not by any means required
[1:24:11] as part of service delivery
[1:24:14] and that complies with the
[1:24:15] ball. But expectations, which
[1:24:16] is that you give individuals
[1:24:18] the ability to consent or not
[1:24:18] and don't make service is
[1:24:23] contingent on that. So those
[1:24:23] protections are in place.
[1:24:31] Okay. Great. Thank Calling in
[1:24:31] the Navy decided to speak on
[1:24:33] item number 4 in a particular
[1:24:34] order. You can come up to the
[1:24:36] podium state. Your name for
[1:24:37] the record. Muzzy Indigo Jesse
[1:24:38] Rose more outside Ala and
[1:24:43] Blair Beekman. Hi, Jessi rose.
[1:24:45] More on the vp provided a well
[1:24:46] written report compared to
[1:24:48] opd. He did not provide a well
[1:24:49] written report. We got one
[1:24:50] minute to speak on this item
[1:24:51] where per item 8. We also got
[1:24:54] one minute to speak on this
[1:24:55] garbage. As I wrote a Brown
[1:24:57] mentioned just that nonsense
[1:24:58] that we had only one minute to
[1:25:03] speak on this city council. 3
[1:25:05] of the members of this body, 7
[1:25:06] members of the city Council it
[1:25:08] south. Look at opd, anything
[1:25:09] it wants and its austerity and
[1:25:11] means testing for everything
[1:25:13] else. Wang as Councilmember
[1:25:14] one, you're pertain to care
[1:25:15] about data privacy when it
[1:25:17] comes to take the vp. Why do
[1:25:19] you issue that scene care
[1:25:21] about privacy to flock, which
[1:25:23] so many people came to speak
[1:25:25] which is very clearly not
[1:25:25] popular with your
[1:25:26] constituents. And with
[1:25:29] everybody in Oakland we have a
[1:25:30] city council that serves
[1:25:32] Piedmont landlords in the o p
[1:25:36] o a we should be finding a
[1:25:37] violence prevention and
[1:25:40] safety. And you know, we need
[1:25:41] a city council that doesn't do
[1:25:48] austerity. So there's some
[1:25:51] clarity. It needs to be
[1:25:53] explain. The report says that
[1:25:54] you have participant record.
[1:25:59] It's. 2300. Program
[1:26:01] enrollment. 2500. What's the
[1:26:04] difference between the 2? When
[1:26:05] you look, thank you for the
[1:26:06] numbers of what you provided
[1:26:10] services employment. 37.
[1:26:13] Family and victim support 17.
[1:26:14] And I'm not gonna be able to
[1:26:16] go through all the numbers.
[1:26:17] What I didn't see in the
[1:26:20] report. And you got
[1:26:21] distinguish between services
[1:26:24] and referral. Referral means
[1:26:28] you identify the Service mean
[1:26:29] you actually got something in
[1:26:34] terms of in need. But you
[1:26:35] didn't identify anything that
[1:26:37] accommodates trauma recovery.
[1:26:40] Mental health care. Anger
[1:26:45] management, drug treatment.
[1:26:46] And those areas that need to
[1:26:46] be addressed. When you're
[1:26:47] talking about some of the
[1:26:58] issues that thank you for your
[1:26:59] comments, which into Zoom user
[1:26:59] Blair. You can unmute yourself
[1:27:01] and begin your comment. I
[1:27:05] thank you big men. This is
[1:27:06] another item that can serve a
[1:27:08] cause, a person's wearing
[1:27:11] council PRESIDENT Brings work
[1:27:13] I mean, National Avenue.
[1:27:17] Boulevard really well. It was
[1:27:18] nice to hear. It was nice to
[1:27:20] hear that this is really based
[1:27:24] t v p Postal Service And not
[1:27:24] so much law enforcement wasn't
[1:27:26] too much mentioned. And that
[1:27:29] was really helpful. It's up 8.
[1:27:31] That's a resource play. You
[1:27:35] know, the meetings we had on
[1:27:35] the International Boulevard,
[1:27:39] which is a few weeks ago The
[1:27:42] people there, women there,
[1:27:43] they need resources. That's
[1:27:44] what was being fed by the
[1:27:47] public. And it seems an item
[1:27:48] that helps provide those
[1:27:51] concepts, which is just dumb.
[1:27:52] It's just the way to work or
[1:27:53] system how we're going
[1:27:57] understand this best. So. Is
[1:27:58] nice to hear this item and
[1:27:59] what its intentions can be.
[1:28:00] Could look, we can live up to
[1:28:03] his potential. Thank you.
[1:28:04] Thank you for your comments
[1:28:05] your name is called. Please
[1:28:08] come up to the podium. Chair

[1:31:06] supervision. Managing a budget
[1:31:08] for organizational to just
[1:31:12] capacity building for both
[1:31:13] leaders within organizations
[1:31:14] and within the ttp as well. As

[1:31:26] contractor to provide services
[1:31:26] to support the change the
[1:31:27] past, the building efforts of
[1:31:32] the training hero. There were
[1:31:33] 5 submissions of 2 were passed
[1:31:35] through disease procurement
[1:31:39] process and of the 2 that pass
[1:31:39] only one vendor, right.
[1:31:40] Research group met all the
[1:31:41] minimum qualifications that
[1:31:45] were listed in the Rfq.
[1:31:48] Research group has over a
[1:31:51] decade of experience providing
[1:31:51] services to various
[1:31:56] departments within the city,
[1:31:57] research capacity really
[1:31:58] designed for that's owned by
[1:31:59] women of color. And based
[1:32:01] right here in Oakland. And
[1:32:04] some examples of work they've
[1:32:04] with the vp, formerly of Unite
[1:32:07] in the past. Is they actually
[1:32:10] where the organization that
[1:32:11] recommended in helped carry
[1:32:14] the killings and act like
[1:32:15] coaching fellowship, which is
[1:32:16] the internationally recognized
[1:32:20] recognized certification.
[1:32:20] They've helped support dp
[1:32:21] Network and the means which
[1:32:23] brings together the grantees.
[1:32:25] Is that time for networking
[1:32:28] and collaborative learning.
[1:32:29] They've developed from the
[1:32:33] trainers models receive ei
[1:32:33] professionals. Learn to be
[1:32:39] peer facilitators. And they
[1:32:40] have also they also just have
[1:32:45] a lot of who with, Oakley to
[1:32:47] cv eco system trusted by has
[1:32:48] let it rest of the
[1:32:48] organizations that we partner
[1:32:53] with. Thank you to have any
[1:32:58] questions. I'll start off with
[1:32:58] a comment. I just want to
[1:33:01] commend you for your work on
[1:33:02] this. I think this is exactly
[1:33:04] the work that ensures that
[1:33:06] Oakland continues to be on the
[1:33:08] front line of community
[1:33:09] violence approaches, their
[1:33:10] interruption approaches. So so
[1:33:13] thank you. Council member
[1:33:21] Brown. Excellent. Thank you so
[1:33:22] much that report. Only have
[1:33:23] one question. I'm looking at
[1:33:28] the funding table noticing
[1:33:29] item the half a million is
[1:33:31] coming from the general fund
[1:33:32] and then it's project
[1:33:36] re-imagining public safety. I
[1:33:39] so question is, was something
[1:33:42] that was budgeted in the in
[1:33:43] the budgeted or is this an
[1:33:46] additional allocation? This is
[1:33:47] in the budget. We tried to get
[1:33:50] the rfq out before for the
[1:33:53] current fiscal year started.
[1:33:54] Unfortunately, there are a lot
[1:33:58] of there are holdups. We were
[1:34:00] able to carry forward that
[1:34:02] money. And so it is within our
[1:34:03] budget. Ok, perfect. Thank you
[1:34:05] for the clarity. I'm not sure
[1:34:06] if there's a motion on the
[1:34:16] floor, but second So yes,
[1:34:17] chair Brent. Yes, my question.
[1:34:26] So job. Lady. Sure I made a
[1:34:27] motion and council member
[1:34:29] Brown made a second. Let's
[1:34:30] proceed. Calling him the
[1:34:32] names. Ascended to speak on
[1:34:33] item 5, Jesse Rose Morris not
[1:34:41] available in Blair Beekman.
[1:34:42] Hi, Jess. Are just like to
[1:34:45] point out that I'm like the
[1:34:46] opd. The Department of
[1:34:47] Violence Prevention in this
[1:34:49] case actually did an rfp rfq
[1:34:51] and didn't ask you all to skip
[1:34:52] all of it so that they can
[1:34:54] have their preferred vendor
[1:34:55] for for this thing. And we
[1:34:57] know that in the future
[1:34:57] they're going to right now.
[1:34:58] Our cue that's geared
[1:34:59] specifically. So that only
[1:35:02] flaw could get it. We had a
[1:35:02] nice presentation from someone
[1:35:06] he did a great job, whereas
[1:35:08] with the flock item, I'm not
[1:35:10] mistaken. That was done by
[1:35:12] homered Heroes, who was
[1:35:12] involved in an
[1:35:13] officer-involved shooting
[1:35:18] against someone he was. Killed
[1:35:20] and he wanted to get lethal
[1:35:21] and that cost the city tens of
[1:35:22] millions of the 10 million
[1:35:24] dollars. I believe in a
[1:35:25] lawsuit. So it's interesting
[1:35:28] that you're having that person
[1:35:28] speak on clock. I'm glad to
[1:35:30] see department about
[1:35:32] prevention doing a great
[1:35:33] thing. We should have less
[1:35:34] officer-involved shootings. We
[1:35:35] should have less flock and
[1:35:37] more violence prevention. How
[1:35:38] about that from my city
[1:35:47] council with that, you know.
[1:35:51] So. You see these a woman of
[1:35:58] color Everybody got Cup. Some
[1:35:59] have local element in other
[1:36:03] months. But this ability to So
[1:36:06] why people feel like Pacific
[1:36:08] They and the group with the
[1:36:10] melanin grew. They just a
[1:36:11] blessing mellow everybody
[1:36:14] Start with that people. Women
[1:36:18] to whatever and just say women
[1:36:19] and I got a problem with this
[1:36:20] issue with women. With this
[1:36:20] Department of Violence
[1:36:22] Prevention. I don't see no
[1:36:28] men. And how does group.
[1:36:30] That's women and most of the
[1:36:31] people you've got to deal
[1:36:36] African-American man. And so
[1:36:37] these women going to deal with
[1:36:39] in they say in their report
[1:36:40] when you look at them online
[1:36:43] at they in. Ok, but we got a
[1:36:44] lot going on with this
[1:36:48] department with women. Being
[1:36:49] in most of the roles of
[1:37:00] leadership. Thank you for your
[1:37:01] comments. Witching to Zoom
[1:37:02] user Blair, you can unmute
[1:37:07] yourself. All there. Big man.
[1:37:07] Hopefully women in leadership
[1:37:11] isn't so much of a problem.
[1:37:15] I'm hoping with this item that
[1:37:18] you it is really stepping up
[1:37:19] their rage parts that they
[1:37:20] can. And guess what? People
[1:37:20] are dying from it again. So
[1:37:23] there's a lot of outrage. I
[1:37:26] think we can be prepared in
[1:37:28] Oakland and I'm hopeful in
[1:37:30] what council person, Brown
[1:37:33] when have been studying in
[1:37:36] data collection, right, we can
[1:37:37] be ready. I think we can be
[1:37:38] ready with with this sort work
[1:37:41] and effort of this item. We
[1:37:42] have a bunch of programs like
[1:37:46] this that I simply I think
[1:37:47] Create something pretty
[1:37:49] important. Is respected at the
[1:37:49] federal level. And we have to
[1:37:52] continue to share what we know
[1:37:54] and what we want to practice
[1:37:55] is how to address our issues
[1:37:57] the community. This can keep
[1:37:58] it the way. So keep up the
[1:38:00] good efforts of this type of
[1:38:01] item, really a composite. A
[1:38:02] lot of things on a lot of
[1:38:05] levels. Thanks for that. Thank
[1:38:07] you for your comments. Sure.
[1:38:07] That includes all speakers and
[1:38:08] we do have a motion made by
[1:38:11] Chair Wang second by council
[1:38:12] member Brown to put the
[1:38:13] recommendations of staff and
[1:38:14] toward this item to the JULY
[1:38:15] 20 per City Council agenda on
[1:38:16] consent on row Councilmembers.
[1:38:21] Brown. I buy I use eye and
[1:38:23] chair along. I think you
[1:38:23] motion passes will pour. I
[1:38:24] support this item to the JULY
[1:38:27] 20 for City Council agenda on
[1:38:27] consent. Reading in item
[1:38:33] number 6. Adopt sorry, adopt a
[1:38:34] resolution authorizing the

[1:38:47] say up to 324 $1324 for the
[1:38:49] fiscal year 2025 Grand Award
[1:38:51] period of OCTOBER. First 2025
[1:38:55] through SEPTEMBER, 30th 2020
[1:38:57] to support the department like
[1:38:57] training equipment,
[1:38:58] technology, and operational
[1:38:59] enhancements. And we have 4
[1:39:03] speakers on this item. Okay,
[1:39:04] great. Please take it away.
[1:39:08] Yes. Good evening. Chair and
[1:39:09] members of the committee,
[1:39:10] Russian warship, the Fiscal
[1:39:11] division manager for the
[1:39:12] Oakland Police Department.
[1:39:18] Before you is to Justice
[1:39:19] assistant grant for 2025. With
[1:39:20] the total allocation of
[1:39:24] 324,000 $324. The Jack Ryan is
[1:39:24] a fund fund a program
[1:39:28] administered. Partnership the
[1:39:29] county which applies for the
[1:39:31] grant on behalf of the
[1:39:31] department and the funding
[1:39:33] allocations are based on the
[1:39:35] population. Opd has been the
[1:39:36] recipient of this award
[1:39:36] approved by council since
[1:39:41] 2005. Given the department's
[1:39:42] 7.8 million decrease in
[1:39:45] operation and maintenance as
[1:39:46] outlined in the report, the
[1:39:46] department proposed the
[1:39:49] following. 25,000 Floyd
[1:39:50] training professional
[1:39:55] development. Which promote
[1:39:56] ongoing training. That's not
[1:40:00] related to polls. Which would
[1:40:02] support training such as
[1:40:03] women's leaders and law
[1:40:07] enforcement mash. Asian peace
[1:40:11] officers. Secondly, there is
[1:40:14] $66,891 and $0.56 That's
[1:40:15] allocated to technology. A
[1:40:16] great supporting replacements
[1:40:18] of aging computers that cannot
[1:40:20] support Windows 11. Along with
[1:40:24] a bit of software. It hardware
[1:40:26] and other technology. Lastly,
[1:40:30] there's $2000. I mean, 200
[1:40:32] 1000 dollars allocated for the
[1:40:36] helicopter marine maintenance,
[1:40:37] which helps support the
[1:40:39] contracts. One of the contract
[1:40:41] is Ashley being reported on
[1:40:43] tonight. And so this helps
[1:40:44] with a vital services for the
[1:40:48] department. These funds apd to
[1:40:49] support operations without
[1:40:51] impacting the city's general
[1:40:52] fund. This concludes my
[1:40:57] presentation. All right. Thank
[1:40:58] you. And I do appreciate since
[1:41:01] one of my questions to opd in
[1:41:01] advance with this was
[1:41:03] providing more specificity on
[1:41:05] those cash, the glories of of
[1:41:06] funding. Any questions for my
[1:41:11] colleagues. Let's go to the
[1:41:13] public comment calling in the
[1:41:14] needs of Senate to speak on
[1:41:16] this item airs Dedan Jesse
[1:41:17] Rose more Asadullah fallen
[1:41:27] Blair Beekman. A high just
[1:41:28] euros you know you can see of
[1:41:32] he's just for the public the
[1:41:33] first paragraph of Page 5 of
[1:41:34] this report and its pretty
[1:41:35] sloppy. There's even a
[1:41:36] grammatical error on the last
[1:41:39] sentence. This is, of course,
[1:41:40] the race inequity part of the
[1:41:41] report and helicopters have a
[1:41:48] history of being using giving
[1:41:48] its pollution in a
[1:41:49] predominantly black
[1:41:51] neighborhood, low-income and
[1:41:52] black neighborhoods. This is
[1:41:53] completely not looked at by
[1:41:55] the opd, whereas you now
[1:41:58] department of violate. I've
[1:41:59] violence prevention actually
[1:42:02] filled out the I racing equity
[1:42:03] portion of this and actually
[1:42:06] care, too. You know, care
[1:42:07] about that part and also care
[1:42:08] about our privacy, which opd
[1:42:12] obviously does not. You know,
[1:42:13] it's be interested in what
[1:42:14] approvals. There are
[1:42:17] helicopters because you just
[1:42:19] try to match opd Zi, Zip lock
[1:42:21] match up. Use policy of flock
[1:42:22] to these use rather than the
[1:42:23] other way around. So what's
[1:42:30] happening here? Before
[1:42:30] beginning of a point of
[1:42:35] inquiry, if that's okay, there
[1:42:39] is mentioned in this report,
[1:42:41] use for the maintenance of the
[1:42:41] helicopter, but that is also
[1:42:42] another agenda item agenda
[1:42:45] item number 7. So I do believe
[1:42:48] there might be some overlap
[1:42:49] with that. And also we don't
[1:42:52] need to provide more funding
[1:42:55] for equipment for the Oakland
[1:42:56] Police Department. They are
[1:42:57] vastly over funded because
[1:42:59] right now by the Oakland
[1:42:59] Police Department admission
[1:43:03] they are understaffed. We do
[1:43:03] not need give them more money
[1:43:04] for equipment that they do not
[1:43:08] eat and will not use and in
[1:43:11] addition, these resources are
[1:43:14] actually not something that
[1:43:14] will actually help prevent
[1:43:16] crime than about a sentencing
[1:43:17] commission really sent a page
[1:43:19] document in 2022. That wants 3
[1:43:19] methods of increasing public
[1:43:22] safety and crime prevention
[1:43:24] rates of up to 51% in multiple
[1:43:27] different categories and none
[1:43:27] of them have to do with
[1:43:35] increasing equipment budget. I
[1:43:38] continue to ask you when any
[1:43:42] grant comes before you look at
[1:43:44] the of the ways that grant can
[1:43:45] be used. So this particular
[1:43:48] grant can be used crime
[1:43:53] prevention and education drug
[1:43:53] treatment, crime victims
[1:43:55] assistance with assistance,
[1:43:59] mental health programs,
[1:44:02] behavior programs, veterans
[1:44:03] Court and Rhis protection
[1:44:05] programs. That money can be
[1:44:10] used for all of that. So we we
[1:44:11] are going to be using it for
[1:44:13] training police go Quitman
[1:44:14] technology. What is that? The
[1:44:19] high a priority. You have a
[1:44:19] responsibility anytime you see
[1:44:23] anything on the agenda. If
[1:44:24] there's options to look at the
[1:44:26] options and aches. Why didn't
[1:44:30] you consider this? Crime
[1:44:30] whatever drug treatment,
[1:44:37] mental health. Switching to
[1:44:37] Zoom user Blair, you yourself
[1:44:39] begin your comments. All
[1:44:46] right. Thank I think
[1:44:47] traditionally cac funding has
[1:44:50] been used for more and severe
[1:44:51] law enforcement tech needs
[1:44:54] helicopters and things like
[1:44:57] that. Nice to hear the items
[1:45:03] so Paulo think thinking how
[1:45:09] can be considered and in more
[1:45:12] under terms the idea it being
[1:45:15] used for office and not
[1:45:16] dipping into the general fund.
[1:45:17] Really nice to hear things
[1:45:18] like that. So thank you. At
[1:45:20] least in those terms. Work on
[1:45:27] the Thank you. Thank you for
[1:45:27] your comments chair. That
[1:45:29] speakers on this item. Thank
[1:45:34] you. Councilmember Brown. All
[1:45:36] right. Thank you so much for
[1:45:37] that I know that the
[1:45:38] application was a joint
[1:45:40] application with Alameda
[1:45:42] County. It is interesting to
[1:45:44] note that Oakland received the
[1:45:45] second largest amount right of
[1:45:49] that allocation. I do think
[1:45:50] that the comment from the
[1:45:52] public speaker around other
[1:45:53] eligible uses would be
[1:45:55] something that maybe consider
[1:45:57] and we get to the helicopter
[1:45:58] item. I know we're not there
[1:46:02] yet, but I do recall in recent
[1:46:03] conversations that that has
[1:46:06] ongoing expense in maybe we
[1:46:11] need to invest in. I think
[1:46:12] I've heard just issues with
[1:46:13] the helicopter we can talk
[1:46:15] more about but I would be
[1:46:17] interested in some of the
[1:46:19] other eligible uses for these
[1:46:21] funds because that list that
[1:46:23] the public speaker and kind of
[1:46:26] named out was very intriguing.
[1:46:27] And we know the all those
[1:46:30] things are services that our
[1:46:31] community could be it could be
[1:46:33] in need But all in all, thank
[1:46:35] you for bringing the item in
[1:46:37] weeks at the we accept free
[1:46:38] money, right? We set the muggy
[1:46:38] So I'm happy to move the item
[1:46:43] along. Councilmember Fife.
[1:46:44] Thank you. Threw the chair.
[1:46:47] I'm also interested in how
[1:46:48] were determining the breakdown
[1:46:54] between marine and aviation
[1:46:55] equipment. And the reason I'm
[1:46:56] asking is because it feels
[1:46:59] like I don't know, the House
[1:47:00] of Dragons came through and
[1:47:01] burned up all the ships in the
[1:47:05] estuary and there's all these
[1:47:06] abandoned boats and they are
[1:47:07] there for a very, very long
[1:47:10] time. And I'm not sure if it's
[1:47:12] staff and that's the issue why
[1:47:14] can't boats be cleared out
[1:47:15] because of then it leads
[1:47:17] environmental pollution in the
[1:47:18] water and so I'd like to
[1:47:21] understand how. Those funds
[1:47:27] are being I guess, divvied up
[1:47:29] between those 2, those 2 areas
[1:47:30] and I would agree I brought an
[1:47:33] item 3 years ago around the
[1:47:34] fixed wing aircraft that is
[1:47:36] better and well, it's debate
[1:47:38] debated. The environmental
[1:47:40] impacts, but definitely the
[1:47:41] sound kuz get. Birds are
[1:47:45] allowed in And we got to do
[1:47:47] better. But and we're spending
[1:47:50] like so much money on
[1:47:51] maintaining equipment that is
[1:47:53] just past its useful life. I
[1:47:58] wouldn't I would like to see.
[1:47:59] Funds going to support
[1:48:03] clearing our waterways and you
[1:48:04] know, using. But anyway, the
[1:48:05] point is how are giving up
[1:48:08] those grant funds? So through
[1:48:13] the Actually, there was just a
[1:48:14] contract and it will land
[1:48:17] Marine for 1.4 million dollars
[1:48:18] that would do the vessel
[1:48:20] removals for the Marine. This
[1:48:23] is actually to just work on
[1:48:24] the Bowden. So there's
[1:48:25] $100,000 allocated for that
[1:48:27] for maintenance for that man.
[1:48:29] The other 100,000 is for the
[1:48:31] helicopter for what? The
[1:48:31] $100,000 for a helicopter.
[1:48:35] That's a drop in the bucket
[1:48:38] wire. So total contract is
[1:48:38] $850,000. So we're going to
[1:48:43] use some general purpose funds
[1:48:43] and then we have a new subject
[1:48:44] funds as well. Our grant
[1:48:50] funds. 2 for the helicopter
[1:48:51] and what will will get to the
[1:48:52] helicopter questions on the
[1:48:53] next Thank you. You're
[1:48:57] welcome. I'll add to the
[1:48:58] helicopter question. So I
[1:49:00] think in the re-imagining
[1:49:02] public for it was established
[1:49:06] helicopter in terms of regular
[1:49:07] operational costs about 4
[1:49:08] times the amount of the fixed
[1:49:12] wing aircraft. Is the
[1:49:13] department's starting to
[1:49:15] explore how to move towards
[1:49:19] the fixed wing aircraft model.
[1:49:20] Good Evening. Council member
[1:49:22] Captain William, the local
[1:49:24] police department. Indeed, we
[1:49:26] are. We've actually proposed
[1:49:27] to the city Council on several
[1:49:29] occasions, a very detailed and
[1:49:32] robust document of the fixed
[1:49:32] wing aircraft to its expected
[1:49:35] life expectancy as well as
[1:49:36] maintenance costs and council
[1:49:36] member of 5 correct. That is
[1:49:42] 8. Significant reduction in
[1:49:43] operating costs over the long
[1:49:45] term for that aircraft. It
[1:49:46] result in substantial savings
[1:49:46] long term versus a rotor
[1:49:49] aircraft. And so what is
[1:49:53] holdup? At the time the
[1:49:55] discussion was we talk to the
[1:49:59] portion financing the
[1:50:00] aircraft. Aside from that, the
[1:50:03] proposal was complete. Okay.
[1:50:04] Let's talk about this more in
[1:50:06] the next item. Do I have a
[1:50:11] second otherwise. I'll second
[1:50:12] I want to also explore, as
[1:50:15] I've said now for 6 years,
[1:50:17] alternative uses, particularly
[1:50:19] if there's any way that we can
[1:50:20] investigate rape kits or any
[1:50:25] way we can look into
[1:50:27] supporting more
[1:50:29] investigations. I'm I'm not
[1:50:29] sure if that's possible with
[1:50:30] these funds perhaps you can
[1:50:33] answer for a second to start
[1:50:34] clearing some of these cold
[1:50:39] cases, particularly around you
[1:50:40] know, some of the rape kits
[1:50:43] that have not the process pd.
[1:50:43] I would like to see that if
[1:50:47] possible for additional uses.
[1:50:51] We could use funds for we did
[1:50:52] in the last grant that that
[1:50:54] was in DECEMBER. We allocated
[1:50:55] funds for the not. So we cover
[1:50:56] that in the last great.
[1:51:00] Covered it like like we
[1:51:02] allocated. I'm gonna the crime
[1:51:05] lab was awarded 200 k for
[1:51:05] funds for just different
[1:51:08] things in the crime. Yeah, I
[1:51:10] would continuation of that
[1:51:12] type of processing of grant
[1:51:17] funds and for a second. Thank
[1:51:20] you. We have a motion made by
[1:51:21] council member Brown seconded
[1:51:21] by Councilmember fight to
[1:51:22] approve the recommendation of
[1:51:23] staff and support this item to
[1:51:26] the JULY 20 for City Council
[1:51:30] agenda on Councilmembers.
[1:51:32] Brown. I buy I use to eye and
[1:51:34] chair I thank you. Motion
[1:51:35] passes with more ice to port
[1:51:38] this item to the JULY 20 for
[1:51:39] City Council agenda on
[1:51:40] consent. Reading in item
[1:51:45] number 7. Adopt a resolution
[1:51:46] authorizing the city
[1:51:47] administrator to enter into
[1:51:47] professional services
[1:51:49] agreement with Red Oak wraps
[1:51:52] Rotorcraft Support to provide
[1:51:53] helicopter maintenance
[1:51:54] services to the Oakland Police
[1:51:57] Department for the period of
[1:52:00] JULY. First 2026 to 6/30/2028
[1:52:02] in an amount not to exceed
[1:52:03] 1 million, 700,000 dollars
[1:52:04] with an option to extend the
[1:52:06] agreement for 2 additional
[1:52:09] years to JUNE. 30th 2030, for
[1:52:12] total contract not to exceed
[1:52:13] 3 million, 400,000 dollars and
[1:52:14] waving to local and small
[1:52:17] local business enterprise
[1:52:18] program requirements. And
[1:52:18] there are 4 speakers on this
[1:52:23] item. Okay. Great. You have a
[1:52:26] few minutes. I know we are
[1:52:27] close to 08:00pm. So would be
[1:52:30] great to keep its the same.
[1:52:31] Thank John. Better again of
[1:52:32] the most prominent coaches to
[1:52:36] Pfizer. Been supervisor for 17
[1:52:36] years been fined helicopters
[1:52:40] for 17 years. Here today for
[1:52:42] the maintenance contract for
[1:52:43] the helicopters. Helicopters
[1:52:47] are. Maintenance intensive.
[1:52:49] And specialized maintenance.
[1:52:51] We put out an rfq. We're
[1:52:56] asking for the same $850,000.
[1:52:57] The same budget that we've had
[1:52:59] for the last 6 years with no
[1:53:03] increase, although. Labor
[1:53:04] costs and parked cars have
[1:53:05] increased, we have not
[1:53:07] increased our budget. It's
[1:53:08] just meant reduced flight
[1:53:14] time. The two-year extension
[1:53:15] is not automatic. Will have to
[1:53:18] come back before you to ask
[1:53:19] too, do the two-year
[1:53:24] extension. It took city staff
[1:53:26] 8 months to get this to you.
[1:53:27] So having that extention in
[1:53:29] place will eliminate that. So
[1:53:32] that's very helpful. Also, it
[1:53:36] does lock in the manufacturer
[1:53:37] to that labor rates for 4
[1:53:44] years. Can save us money. So
[1:53:49] your for country. I'm not
[1:53:51] seeing any that Councilmember
[1:53:55] Fife go ahead. I just wanted
[1:53:57] to state because I've heard
[1:53:58] now this presentation a few
[1:53:59] times since I've been on
[1:54:01] council. I think it's
[1:54:03] imperative that this body
[1:54:05] prioritized a fixed wing
[1:54:09] aircraft fiscal purposes. But
[1:54:10] as well as the environmental
[1:54:11] impact that has on communities
[1:54:15] that frequent, we have high
[1:54:19] speed chases which I r
[1:54:20] extremely dangerous and highly
[1:54:21] restricted throughout the
[1:54:23] state of California as being
[1:54:26] potentially deadly and how a
[1:54:28] fixed wing aircraft could
[1:54:30] serve. Those uses. That would
[1:54:36] take patrol cars out of out of
[1:54:39] use when needing to engage a
[1:54:41] suspect versus, you know,
[1:54:42] potentially causing harm. That
[1:54:46] comes from high-speed chases.
[1:54:47] And since we're on the topic
[1:54:47] of high-speed chases, I want
[1:54:48] to say that the chase policy
[1:54:51] was not a city council policy.
[1:54:53] That was something that was
[1:54:55] stated repeatedly over and
[1:54:56] over again. It is a policy
[1:55:00] that is a police department
[1:55:02] policy. But that said, I think
[1:55:05] it's it's important that we
[1:55:06] prioritizing the next biennial
[1:55:11] budget. A fixed wing aircraft
[1:55:15] to save money to save lives.
[1:55:17] And 2 address this outpouring
[1:55:20] of funds that are consistently
[1:55:21] occurring from trying to
[1:55:22] maintain a piece of equipment
[1:55:25] that is clearly outdated until
[1:55:30] we figure out what to do about
[1:55:31] incidents that do require
[1:55:35] pursuit. To eliminate. All
[1:55:36] needs a pursuit. We're going
[1:55:39] to have some type of need for
[1:55:42] equipment. And I think it.
[1:55:44] We've been presented with the
[1:55:45] information time and time
[1:55:48] again. And just the fiscal
[1:55:49] savings alone, I think are
[1:55:51] important for us to consider
[1:55:52] with our fiduciary
[1:55:53] responsibility to this body.
[1:56:01] To the city that I will move
[1:56:02] this item forward, but I just
[1:56:05] want to, again, just point out
[1:56:06] that we are hemorrhaging money
[1:56:09] from trying to maintain and
[1:56:12] old piece of equipment that we
[1:56:16] still have used for. And it
[1:56:18] was, you Councilmember Houston
[1:56:18] and I were talking about it
[1:56:19] and he was like, you know,
[1:56:20] that's what drones are for. I
[1:56:21] do want to point out that in
[1:56:22] inclement weather conditions,
[1:56:25] drones are not useful. We also
[1:56:27] have the issue of privacy when
[1:56:28] it comes to drones. I know it
[1:56:29] would go through the Privacy
[1:56:30] Commission or what have you.
[1:56:33] But I just we've been
[1:56:36] presented enough times that
[1:56:38] this is a fixed wing aircraft
[1:56:41] would be a better use of
[1:56:42] resources for the city. And I
[1:56:44] just want to state that for
[1:56:45] the record. And the
[1:56:46] information is all there. You
[1:56:48] can go to previous council
[1:56:51] meetings previous in full
[1:56:52] reports, Joe De Vries and I
[1:56:54] worked on it a couple 3 years
[1:56:56] ago. And so the information is
[1:56:56] all there. We just need to
[1:56:57] make it happen and we need to
[1:57:00] prioritize it. Councilmember
[1:57:08] Houston. Do and chair. He it.
[1:57:10] So so I'm just So the public
[1:57:13] can hear it is. The Holocaust,
[1:57:16] a helicopter or what are they
[1:57:19] for? What are we use them for?
[1:57:19] There's many things or use
[1:57:22] them for. Primarily. We see
[1:57:23] them as a patrol car in the
[1:57:27] sky. Whatever dispatch Census
[1:57:30] 2 will go to and cover. So you
[1:57:31] pick the call, we can assist
[1:57:37] on it. So so we have drones
[1:57:39] that they say are outdated.
[1:57:39] You can use that money for the
[1:57:40] drones. I mean, should be able
[1:57:44] to have drones that can fly.
[1:57:45] And bad weather technology. We
[1:57:46] can go to the moon. Come back,
[1:57:48] you know, do all this right
[1:57:49] along with the flock cameras,
[1:57:50] can't they? I mean, if we got
[1:57:54] flock and he's following. To
[1:57:55] the city where we need to
[1:57:56] helicopters for a fact.
[1:57:56] Technology is he's been
[1:58:01] upgraded. Bunch of things
[1:58:02] there. I'm happy to talk about
[1:58:08] your points, too. Drones and
[1:58:08] helicopters are 2 items in
[1:58:13] your tool box. Jones can't do.
[1:58:13] A helicopters can do to help
[1:58:14] countries can't do it. Drones
[1:58:16] can do. So. For instance,
[1:58:18] Jones are limited on the
[1:58:19] distance. They can travel like
[1:58:23] they can stay in the air.
[1:58:24] Helicopter can stay out for an
[1:58:25] extended period of time and
[1:58:29] go. A farther distance. So
[1:58:31] Jones can also get you. Right
[1:58:35] close. Right? They can come.
[1:58:38] You know, altitude right down
[1:58:39] by the house or the yard or
[1:58:41] wherever the call is and
[1:58:42] obviously helicopter cats
[1:58:44] going to stay farther up. So
[1:58:48] they both have their own
[1:58:49] unique distinct uses and what
[1:58:50] they can be used for what they
[1:58:50] can't. They're not
[1:58:53] interchangeable. So so storms
[1:58:58] us. Sorry, Councilmember. I
[1:59:01] think one of the other
[1:59:02] important mitigating factors
[1:59:03] that wrong technologies
[1:59:05] because it is today, sir. It
[1:59:05] simply cannot maintain any
[1:59:07] type of vehicle pursuits that
[1:59:08] at, you know, speeds over 25
[1:59:11] miles an hour. And as
[1:59:12] councilmember fight that had
[1:59:15] mentioned, just who they are
[1:59:15] susceptible to inclement
[1:59:18] weather and those limitations.
[1:59:19] The helicopter or a fixed wing
[1:59:21] aircraft would not be limited
[1:59:23] by those. So at this point,
[1:59:24] I'd technology wise drones are
[1:59:27] certainly. They're up and
[1:59:28] coming very quickly in terms
[1:59:29] of technology increases of
[1:59:30] usage and speed of things of
[1:59:31] that nature. But they're not
[1:59:32] there yet and they won't be
[1:59:34] there for the foreseeable
[1:59:37] future. The need for a
[1:59:39] aircraft would optional. For
[1:59:39] replacement. So last question
[1:59:43] to chair, have we have we use
[1:59:45] the helicopters for like
[1:59:46] emergency saving someone's
[1:59:47] life. Now you see it tv and
[1:59:48] they say people often mouth.
[1:59:52] That's a great question. The
[1:59:53] helicopters, not a simple uses
[1:59:54] item for local police
[1:59:55] department And a great example
[1:59:59] was just recently started than
[2:00:00] a week and was fined. We had a
[2:00:02] young lady. She felt she was
[2:00:02] on a hike in the hills. She
[2:00:04] and fell into ditch. She
[2:00:06] requested assistance and
[2:00:08] thanks to his expertise as
[2:00:09] well as coordination with the
[2:00:12] patrol division that the heir
[2:00:12] to actually found her in in
[2:00:14] the ditch with fallen directed
[2:00:17] units and actually assisted
[2:00:22] her back to safety. So to the
[2:00:23] chair, you have to share those
[2:00:24] stories. It's ironic
[2:00:24] councilmember that the p I o
[2:00:27] is actually putting that story
[2:00:28] hopefully tomorrow. So so
[2:00:29] those things that people need
[2:00:30] to hear those as real-life
[2:00:34] stories like, wow, if just
[2:00:35] save somebodys life mifa they
[2:00:37] cut because it used to those
[2:00:39] stories need to be heard. So
[2:00:42] this is why we need
[2:00:45] helicopter. All right, ok?
[2:00:47] Council member Brown. All
[2:00:50] right. Well, I don't I'm not
[2:00:54] going tried put a downer on
[2:00:54] this, but gonna up live some
[2:00:58] some some research that we
[2:00:59] were able to find on this item
[2:01:00] and kind of as it was already
[2:01:02] stated. Sounds like we need to
[2:01:03] move towards this investment
[2:01:06] in the an alternative. But I
[2:01:07] just wanted to flag for
[2:01:10] everyone's awareness that this
[2:01:13] particular group rsi in 2000,
[2:01:16] maybe it's on your radar. They
[2:01:18] actually there was a
[2:01:19] 50 million dollar wrongful
[2:01:20] death lawsuit about from a
[2:01:22] fatal crash that happened in
[2:01:27] the Hills fire Fresno. And it
[2:01:30] had to do with like
[2:01:30] maintenance issues around,
[2:01:32] like hydraulic issues before
[2:01:36] the crash. And so in
[2:01:36] investigating that they
[2:01:37] actually found that it was, in
[2:01:38] fact, like a wrongful death
[2:01:40] due to like some maintenance
[2:01:42] complications. So just wanted
[2:01:44] to put that on the radar I
[2:01:45] know that we continue to
[2:01:48] invest time and time and
[2:01:51] keeping this helicopter
[2:01:52] operational. But I do think
[2:01:53] that we MAY be at a point
[2:01:54] where we want to invest in
[2:01:59] something that would be better
[2:02:06] long term I just I just want
[2:02:07] to say it I'm not sure that
[2:02:09] that case was on your radar
[2:02:13] happened in 2000. The air unit
[2:02:17] has a very strict policy in
[2:02:20] terms of maintenance and
[2:02:20] operational of modality
[2:02:21] everyday started being a week
[2:02:22] his team, the Golden Speck
[2:02:22] helicopter, Dupree
[2:02:25] inspections, post inspections,
[2:02:28] which again to the fact that
[2:02:30] helicopter is not simply
[2:02:32] maintenance cost situation,
[2:02:33] but also labor, intense
[2:02:34] situation. But we do
[2:02:36] appreciate you bringing that
[2:02:37] they through decades of
[2:02:38] experience have actually
[2:02:40] learned and they have, in
[2:02:41] fact, caught maintenance
[2:02:41] challenges before they go up
[2:02:42] in the air. So we're very
[2:02:43] cognizant of that public
[2:02:47] safety. Great. Thank you.
[2:02:48] Colleagues Councilmember
[2:02:51] Houston. More question to
[2:02:53] chair. What years that
[2:02:56] helicopter. So 2 units the
[2:03:00] first one is 1990. Was what I
[2:03:01] was in middle school and the
[2:03:03] next one answer is 1993, ok,
[2:03:08] cool, cool, cool. So I have a
[2:03:09] question. What is the cost a
[2:03:11] new helicopter? Top of line,
[2:03:17] top of so the replacement cost
[2:03:18] of brand new helicopter, sir,
[2:03:18] would be 1 million dollars
[2:03:19] more than a fixed wing
[2:03:23] aircraft. 1 million dollars
[2:03:24] more. Correct. 6 million
[2:03:26] dollars or 6 Million? Correct?
[2:03:28] Okay. How much does it cost to
[2:03:29] maintain that helicopter per
[2:03:35] year? Goes to those $250,000.
[2:03:36] 850, okay. So we just and how
[2:03:40] long we've been doing this.
[2:03:45] Their over 37 All right. So
[2:03:49] great. I know what to do. And
[2:03:49] the for the fixed wing
[2:03:50] aircraft. What is the upfront
[2:03:53] cost versus the annual packs?
[2:03:57] 5 million for an airplane and
[2:03:59] we fully support lead relive
[2:04:03] airplane. Also. And, you know,
[2:04:03] what is the annual ongoing
[2:04:05] maintenance costs of the fixed
[2:04:09] wing aircraft? It'll be a 3rd.
[2:04:12] One-third, ok? So 850,000 3,
[2:04:14] correct? Correct. Calculation
[2:04:16] that we did is that the fixed
[2:04:17] wing aircraft dependent upon
[2:04:17] financing options should
[2:04:20] actually pay for itself in as
[2:04:22] little 15 years of that. But
[2:04:25] if you pay for cash would be
[2:04:26] significantly less the
[2:04:28] maintenance savings are are so
[2:04:29] significant that by the time
[2:04:31] to 37 years that we've paying
[2:04:32] for for a rotary aircraft, you
[2:04:37] could at 2 aircraft in service
[2:04:38] at the city of Oakland with a
[2:04:38] life expectancy of over 40
[2:04:43] years, each as opposed to 10.
[2:04:44] That's noteworthy. Just to
[2:04:45] play a little bit of devil's
[2:04:47] advocate. I support the idea,
[2:04:48] but I guess like it's hard for
[2:04:50] me understand for a fixed wing
[2:04:52] aircraft. Do we need an
[2:04:53] airplane like has earned
[2:04:54] airport like how does that
[2:04:55] work in terms of deployment?
[2:04:58] Does it? Because I imagine
[2:05:00] helicopter you know, lift off
[2:05:02] from a helipad, but an
[2:05:03] airplane requires more
[2:05:05] runways. So how does that
[2:05:07] work? Does it require more
[2:05:09] travel time then for opd in
[2:05:11] the case of an emergency
[2:05:13] situation. Our helicopters are
[2:05:14] currently makes to the local
[2:05:15] airport and they're playing
[2:05:17] also be based there. Okay,
[2:05:19] great. And then in the sun air
[2:05:20] that you described, which is
[2:05:22] rescuing woman from the hills,
[2:05:26] can a fixed wing aircraft
[2:05:27] because, again, I'm imagining
[2:05:29] this is just don't civilian
[2:05:31] where helicopter can stays
[2:05:34] static above the person. Can
[2:05:34] the fixed wing aircraft do
[2:05:36] something similar? Does it do?
[2:05:40] We require still helicopter
[2:05:40] equipment to do some sort
[2:05:42] rescue like that the airplane
[2:05:45] will fly and Orbitz and they
[2:05:47] will be able look and direct.
[2:05:51] Ground units to the victim.
[2:05:52] Okay. Know they will not be
[2:05:54] able to do the actual rescue
[2:05:54] rescue. Okay. But it sounds
[2:05:58] like ground units could have
[2:05:58] the capacity to do that.
[2:06:04] Correct, Okay. Go ahead.
[2:06:05] Councilmember. He got let's
[2:06:08] wrap it Last question. The
[2:06:09] mobility is different. I mean,
[2:06:11] if you in helicopter, you can
[2:06:12] just stop you come back up
[2:06:13] mobile in the aircraft. You
[2:06:13] got to go around and around
[2:06:18] and around. That's part of the
[2:06:18] noise aspect also. So the
[2:06:19] airplane is going to be
[2:06:20] significantly higher fly
[2:06:21] significantly higher than what
[2:06:23] the helicopter does. So you're
[2:06:26] not going to hear it. But the
[2:06:27] airplane is going to have a a
[2:06:28] significant camera on board
[2:06:30] and that's how the job will be
[2:06:30] performed is that the camera
[2:06:32] will look down and make the
[2:06:34] radio call ask questions. So
[2:06:37] who's going operate this,
[2:06:39] which big swing, put lot great
[2:06:41] day. Our pilots. How many
[2:06:50] pause? With a red one's is
[2:06:51] operating with a rather have a
[2:06:52] fixed. I have a brand new
[2:06:59] helicopter. I would say that
[2:06:59] week's travel working on this
[2:07:00] project with the council as
[2:07:04] well started in a week. And of
[2:07:05] course, the helicopter is one
[2:07:06] of those tools that is funded
[2:07:08] rifle case. Its you need to
[2:07:09] take specific skill set. So is
[2:07:10] actually in terms of just job
[2:07:13] satisfaction fun. The aircraft
[2:07:14] so advanced that a twin engine
[2:07:15] aircraft to the very low
[2:07:17] profile that it is so safe for
[2:07:23] pets with flies itself. You
[2:07:23] want to second that
[2:07:29] councilmember Houston. Moving
[2:07:31] speaking. Sorry, moving to
[2:07:33] public speakers calling him
[2:07:34] the name that up to
[2:07:37] speak on item number 7 errors
[2:07:38] done just few rows. My thought
[2:07:38] on the ball and Blair, big
[2:07:46] man. Jesse Rose. More upside,
[2:07:47] though pd just said they want
[2:07:48] these helicopters because
[2:07:51] they're fun to drive 1.7
[2:07:55] million for why it like, like
[2:07:56] I said to be in the meeting,
[2:07:57] we could be civilian icing. I
[2:07:57] have Pte. All right. I
[2:08:01] civilian. I seen desk jobs at
[2:08:03] opd. We could be looking into
[2:08:05] their overtime fraud and then
[2:08:05] we we could have the money
[2:08:06] that you're going back and
[2:08:09] forth about and debate about.
[2:08:12] Their staff report says Page
[2:08:13] 3, these helicopters will be
[2:08:14] used to surveil and intimidate
[2:08:16] protesters. It's right in So
[2:08:16] it's that they're going to do
[2:08:17] that with these helicopters
[2:08:19] just like they're doing with
[2:08:21] Flock Councilmember one, you
[2:08:21] want this mean and early but
[2:08:23] east not flocking on the the
[2:08:25] agenda. And I think you were
[2:08:27] here when Ken Houston, I
[2:08:28] flipped us off and fell asleep
[2:08:28] on both of those. He means
[2:08:31] when Flock was here before. So
[2:08:33] here we are again. How do you
[2:08:33] expect this mean? And at 8
[2:08:34] o'clock when there's touch
[2:08:38] such nonsense by the opd on
[2:08:39] this agenda, who does this
[2:08:40] council serve? Sam Singer, the
[2:08:41] people of Oakland. That's what
[2:08:41] we want to know. Where seen
[2:08:50] what's happening here? Hello
[2:08:56] Council airs Don. We do. I do
[2:08:58] love that. Councilmember Brown
[2:08:59] account. Number 5, you want to
[2:09:02] lower the cost of what we are
[2:09:03] spending and make it so that
[2:09:04] we are actually helping the
[2:09:07] people of Oakland. There are
[2:09:08] ways to, quote, lower
[2:09:10] emergency room visits by 80%
[2:09:11] reduced the number of jail
[2:09:13] days by 130%, reduce
[2:09:14] probability of committing
[2:09:15] crime by 80% and increase the
[2:09:17] probability of employment by
[2:09:19] 24%. None of them are funding
[2:09:20] helicopters. None of them are
[2:09:23] funding surveillance cameras.
[2:09:25] What they are is public income
[2:09:27] programs, things that will
[2:09:29] actually provide income
[2:09:30] through employment or public
[2:09:32] benefits to the people of
[2:09:33] Oakland, access to care,
[2:09:33] whether it's health care,
[2:09:34] mental health services and
[2:09:35] substance abuse. Use a
[2:09:36] substance use treatment. All
[2:09:40] of these things have actual
[2:09:41] research effect that are
[2:09:42] beneficial for the people of
[2:09:42] Oakland. And I think those
[2:09:44] should be prioritized over
[2:09:46] equipment. That is fun to
[2:09:48] drive for the people of
[2:09:49] Oakland for the people of
[2:09:49] Oakland. This is what we need
[2:09:56] to do. Thank you. Thank you
[2:09:58] for your service. That a lot
[2:10:03] of issues with police. But I
[2:10:03] realize we need your service.
[2:10:05] See some of these people out
[2:10:07] here when certain things
[2:10:08] happen, you know, did it all
[2:10:11] call? They all call you? If
[2:10:12] they get robbed or something
[2:10:15] going on. But anyway,
[2:10:16] appreciate your conversation
[2:10:18] about the chase thing. That's
[2:10:19] one of the most important
[2:10:20] aspects of having the
[2:10:22] availability of these cops
[2:10:26] because we can't do the chase
[2:10:27] They can come up broad
[2:10:30] spectrum of territory of
[2:10:31] Somebodys kidnapped. We got
[2:10:33] out and were alert. You can
[2:10:36] follow They drawbacks with the
[2:10:38] expenses that is involved with
[2:10:40] it. But we have cities like
[2:10:41] Los Angeles, San Diego, San
[2:10:44] Jose, Sacramento, Stockton,
[2:10:48] Pasadena. And other cities
[2:10:52] that have invested in us. And
[2:10:53] does have a service quality
[2:10:54] service that exists its
[2:10:58] expensive bill. And from my
[2:10:59] perspective, if we can keep
[2:11:01] it, I would like to keep it.
[2:11:02] Thank you for your comments.
[2:11:06] Missile Apollo. Switching to
[2:11:09] zoom user Blair, you yourself.
[2:11:14] I big Ben. We're talking about
[2:11:16] important policy to beach
[2:11:20] item, I really you know, city
[2:11:22] of Oakland, City Council and
[2:11:25] an opd really take the time
[2:11:26] and care to want to better
[2:11:28] explain to the public what
[2:11:28] exactly is going on with the
[2:11:31] current contract process. You
[2:11:32] guys keeping that really,
[2:11:35] really a we try to practice
[2:11:36] how to be accessible with the
[2:11:37] public on the subject and
[2:11:44] accountable. This item So so I
[2:11:47] I I my personal feeling
[2:11:49] helicopters can be a bit more
[2:11:52] flexible. Picks wing aircraft.
[2:11:53] But I don't know the full
[2:11:56] story. It sounds like picks
[2:11:57] pick. Spring has been slowly
[2:11:57] developing here in Oakland for
[2:11:58] a while where I have
[2:12:00] understand it yet. And so I'm
[2:12:04] just starting to. But I hope
[2:12:06] we respect the maneuverability
[2:12:07] and flexibility helicopters
[2:12:13] can offer. Thank you for your
[2:12:14] comments chair. That concludes
[2:12:19] all speakers on this item. Go
[2:12:20] ahead. Councilmember Houston.
[2:12:21] I just want to thank the
[2:12:22] officers for coming in share
[2:12:23] with them. That is nothing
[2:12:24] wrong with enjoying your job.
[2:12:27] Nothing wrong with that, sir.
[2:12:30] And I do the pursuit and chase
[2:12:30] policy because it has been
[2:12:33] effective. Great. Let's move
[2:12:36] to the vote. Thank you. We
[2:12:37] have a motion made by
[2:12:39] Councilmember 5 0nd by
[2:12:41] Councilmember Houston to put
[2:12:41] the record we move Councilor
[2:12:42] 5, give a comment or question
[2:12:43] on this item. Just need to
[2:12:46] extend the meeting. Make a
[2:12:49] motion to extend the meeting.
[2:12:55] Do we have to? It what time?
[2:12:56] Okay. Sounds like we don't
[2:12:58] have to do until 09:00pm 9.
[2:13:00] Make it for 9 because we're
[2:13:02] going to be here tonight.
[2:13:08] Let's take the vote. Thank
[2:13:12] you. We have a motion made
[2:13:14] Councilmember 5 0nd delay,
[2:13:15] Councilmember Houston to
[2:13:16] approve the recommendations of
[2:13:17] staff and board this item to
[2:13:18] the JULY 20 for City Council
[2:13:19] agenda on real councilmembers.
[2:13:23] Brown. I buy use endure one. I
[2:13:24] think you motion passes with
[2:13:25] 4. I support this item to the
[2:13:26] JULY 20 per City Council.
[2:13:29] Jenna, on consent item 8 was
[2:13:30] already dispensed with. Now
[2:13:34] reading in item number 9.
[2:13:35] Adopt a resolution authorizing
[2:13:36] the city administrator to
[2:13:37] enter into memorandum of
[2:13:38] understanding with the
[2:13:40] California Highway Patrol to
[2:13:41] some a vehicle accident
[2:13:42] reports electronically
[2:13:44] pursuant to be a vehicle code.
[2:13:46] Section 2, 0, 0, 0, 8, And
[2:13:46] there are 3 speakers on this
[2:13:54] item. All right. Let's call
[2:13:58] them use up here. Good
[2:13:58] evening, councilmembers and
[2:13:59] members of the public
[2:14:00] warnings. The sauce was on the
[2:14:02] deputy chief of the bill risk
[2:14:03] management. It and tonight
[2:14:05] presenting to you requesting
[2:14:08] council to enter into it.
[2:14:10] Memorandum of understanding
[2:14:13] with chp regarding our
[2:14:15] collision data. So I'm not
[2:14:16] sure how many of you are.
[2:14:17] Alright, everybody understands
[2:14:19] where we're at with our record
[2:14:20] management system. We are
[2:14:23] doing an upgrade to a record
[2:14:24] management system long overdo
[2:14:26] At least my career of 26 plus
[2:14:28] years. We've had the same
[2:14:29] system. So now we're upgrading
[2:14:32] to mark 43, which will be the
[2:14:34] overseer of our record
[2:14:35] management system. And in
[2:14:37] doing that, we're going to
[2:14:40] have crash data, which is a
[2:14:42] piece of there, Marc, 40
[2:14:43] threes program. What this is
[2:14:44] going to allow us to do with
[2:14:47] this memorandum of
[2:14:48] understanding is right now.
[2:14:49] Currently, we literally have a
[2:14:51] person that makes photocopies
[2:14:52] of each and every one of our
[2:14:54] collision reports put it in an
[2:14:55] envelope, put a stamp on it
[2:14:58] and put it in the mail. This
[2:14:59] will now allow us to send this
[2:15:02] data and the chronically. So
[2:15:03] as soon as the report is
[2:15:06] approved by the investigators
[2:15:07] and any sites citations that
[2:15:08] were issued from the
[2:15:09] collision, that all gets put
[2:15:12] in. It literally gets sent to
[2:15:12] the system and its
[2:15:15] electronically sent to chp.
[2:15:16] This is important because this
[2:15:20] is where dot get all of their
[2:15:21] information through sweaters,
[2:15:22] which is the statewide
[2:15:24] integration traffic reporting
[2:15:25] system, right? So this is
[2:15:25] where we get our high injury
[2:15:30] network. This is where we draw
[2:15:32] from what intersection to the
[2:15:32] most dangerous. What can we do
[2:15:36] to make them better? How do we
[2:15:37] slow them down? So this is
[2:15:38] just absolutely no cost.
[2:15:40] There's no cost involved in
[2:15:42] this. It literally just takes
[2:15:45] are handwritten reports. Mixon
[2:15:46] Digital and we get to send in
[2:15:49] the chp. It'll save us a lot
[2:15:52] of labor hours. So that they
[2:15:52] can do other things with in
[2:15:54] traffic and catch up. Cut
[2:15:57] right into it. A technical
[2:15:58] adviser that'll help me with
[2:16:00] any technical programming
[2:16:00] officer pull into this,
[2:16:04] helping with that. But that's
[2:16:04] basically it and kind of make
[2:16:05] a fast wide. It is quickly as
[2:16:09] I could. Great. And is this
[2:16:09] actually there was some
[2:16:12] reporting earlier this year
[2:16:14] on, you know, an excessive
[2:16:15] amount of overtime. Was it
[2:16:15] connected to actually the
[2:16:18] collision reports that were
[2:16:21] yes is actually meant to solve
[2:16:22] for. It will help. It won't
[2:16:24] solve all of it, but it will
[2:16:25] help the actual investigation
[2:16:26] takes the man hours to
[2:16:29] actually go through and figure
[2:16:31] out what caused the collision
[2:16:32] who cited what was a problem,
[2:16:35] right? So that part not gonna
[2:16:36] help as much, but it does help
[2:16:39] with then taking it and
[2:16:40] processing it and then getting
[2:16:45] it to the systems. Will give
[2:16:46] all the information hard to
[2:16:48] get all the look better. So it
[2:16:49] will definitely help with that
[2:16:51] because in that person can
[2:16:52] maybe start helping with some
[2:16:55] of the other parts in traffic
[2:16:56] with some of the grandson,
[2:16:56] some of the other things that
[2:16:57] are going on many, many hours
[2:17:02] per day. And then one other
[2:17:05] question I just have is as we
[2:17:07] look to civilian, I certain
[2:17:10] positions is it required by
[2:17:11] law. As opd is required to
[2:17:14] submit collision. Dated 2, the
[2:17:16] chp by law and that it
[2:17:17] references California vehicle
[2:17:21] code code. Excuse me, 2008, a
[2:17:22] does it require law
[2:17:23] enforcement agency to do those
[2:17:25] submittals or is it possible
[2:17:28] to have the Department of
[2:17:28] Transportation at some future
[2:17:29] date take on a portion of this
[2:17:32] work? Not sure if dog could do
[2:17:34] it, but we have professional
[2:17:37] staff that does it right now.
[2:17:37] So they're the ones that
[2:17:40] actually make physical copies.
[2:17:40] Ended up. So that part's
[2:17:45] already done. But it does
[2:17:49] require a sworn officer, too
[2:17:49] investigated an issue, the
[2:17:50] citation. So that's where that
[2:17:52] part comes in. Okay. That's
[2:17:52] couple clarification. Thank
[2:17:58] you. Let's go to public
[2:17:59] comment calling in the names
[2:17:59] that signed up to speak on
[2:18:03] item number 9, just the Rose
[2:18:04] Marie misses settle the ball
[2:18:16] and Libby Pigman. Hi, just you
[2:18:18] brought up the overtime fraud
[2:18:19] issue? It's a good one. Why
[2:18:21] don't they electron when they
[2:18:22] do electronic thing for time
[2:18:24] sheets, they tele could. They
[2:18:25] don't want to. Why don't you
[2:18:27] demand that they do it and
[2:18:29] make them calm with a proposal
[2:18:30] submit their time sheets,
[2:18:33] electronic electronically. So
[2:18:34] we don't have massive overtime
[2:18:35] fraud by this department. When
[2:18:38] is that going to happen?
[2:18:39] Councilmember said as we look
[2:18:41] to civilian certain positions,
[2:18:41] as I mentioned at the
[2:18:43] beginning of this meeting, the
[2:18:45] longest item that has been on
[2:18:46] on the penny. No date
[2:18:47] scheduled list is
[2:18:49] Councilmember Fife's item to
[2:18:51] demand that we civilian eyes
[2:18:53] these positions. Why don't you
[2:18:54] schedule? Will save millions
[2:18:56] and millions of dollars. And
[2:18:58] we can see with this council
[2:18:59] refusing to do it that you
[2:19:02] guys are in the pockets p o a
[2:19:03] piedmont landlords and all
[2:19:05] kinds of other right-wing
[2:19:05] actors. We have one council
[2:19:06] member serving the city of
[2:19:10] Oakland in 7 frauds and the
[2:19:12] staff report lies about Alpr
[2:19:12] here into sb 34 and admits
[2:19:22] that this data is going So it
[2:19:25] mentions in the report. Once
[2:19:29] you submit the data. Related
[2:19:30] to the collisions, you have to
[2:19:34] strip the report of the name
[2:19:37] address. So security number
[2:19:38] driver's license number, what
[2:19:43] are you subcommittee? I mean,
[2:19:48] come What are you submitting
[2:19:52] to chp? A pitch of the call? I
[2:19:56] don't get this sanctuary city
[2:19:57] stuff. This privacy stuff. You
[2:20:02] can submit any information.
[2:20:02] Want nobody to know nothing
[2:20:05] about But you've got these
[2:20:06] telephones and equipment that
[2:20:07] you all use and everybody
[2:20:11] knows your business. So
[2:20:13] privacy. Come y'all. What
[2:20:18] would you submitting?
[2:20:19] Switching to Zoom user Blair?
[2:20:19] You can unmute yourself and
[2:20:24] begin your comment. I as this
[2:20:27] is an item with thp. I feel
[2:20:27] it's important make an
[2:20:30] important time to simply
[2:20:34] remind chp has a large part
[2:20:36] the current lack situation
[2:20:38] with opd and why that contract
[2:20:40] is or is not being signed at
[2:20:41] this time. Really good luck on
[2:20:43] working on accountability and
[2:20:47] explaining that to the public
[2:20:48] before the upcoming opd
[2:20:49] meeting now and September
[2:20:51] October on these items, this
[2:20:56] item Yeah, hopefully it can
[2:20:58] help with agency, but what
[2:20:59] does that efficiency can to
[2:21:01] help with overall good luck.
[2:21:03] How we are. Our policies can
[2:21:05] be we're with each other and
[2:21:05] that we want to practice.
[2:21:09] Well, thanks. Thank you for
[2:21:09] comments. Sure. That speakers

[2:21:31] JULY 21st City Council agenda

[2:21:46] me. Sorry clerk before we move
[2:21:51] on to open forum. I making the
[2:21:52] request of the parliamentary
[2:21:56] can you recap what the amended
[2:21:56] title is for item 8? This was
[2:21:58] at the city administration's
[2:22:00] request. Absolutely through
[2:22:02] the chair. Just clarifying for
[2:22:04] item 8. The motion title was
[2:22:06] to delete the alp. Our
[2:22:08] reference from the original
[2:22:10] resolution. So that was this a
[2:22:12] being stricken and to delete
[2:22:13] the reference to the
[2:22:15] attachment e which was opr
[2:22:17] report which is contained in
[2:22:20] the resolution at the first
[2:22:20] result provisions. So those
[2:22:22] items would be stricken. Thank

[2:22:39] Jesse Rose more. Joy around.
[2:22:39] Air on us. Not all Loveland
[2:22:47] men. And Seleka Thomas. Hi,
[2:22:49] just euros You know, when we
[2:22:50] consider that corruption and
[2:22:51] feckless malfeasance of the
[2:22:55] city Council I wonder about
[2:22:58] some of the council members to
[2:23:01] dating campaign on being in
[2:23:02] the pockets of Sam Singer and
[2:23:04] the and Piedmont landlords.
[2:23:07] And like a body of team for a
[2:23:09] count commerce is. And I think
[2:23:09] specifically about you're
[2:23:12] going to Brown, you know, I
[2:23:14] think gaslit by several people
[2:23:14] on the city council when it's
[2:23:18] when it comes to plot gaslit
[2:23:19] by Charlie Wong's office. I
[2:23:23] think gaslit by Zac Unger.
[2:23:23] John, I Ramachandran doesn't
[2:23:25] want to respond anything. Your
[2:23:26] office is completely
[2:23:28] unresponsive. Now you say that
[2:23:29] you serve everybody. You see
[2:23:29] the serve, nobody and what I
[2:23:33] would like to now. When did
[2:23:34] when did you turn to become
[2:23:34] this kind of councilmember?
[2:23:38] When did this happen? Who said
[2:23:39] what to you to make are those
[2:23:39] interest and said the people
[2:23:41] of the city, I would like to
[2:23:56] know that. Thank you.
[2:23:56] And it
[2:23:57] is needed the be in a street
[2:23:58] vendor here in Oakland since I
[2:24:00] was 19 years old from what
[2:24:01] we've seen over the past 2 and
[2:24:04] a half The city's treatment of
[2:24:06] an have house from eating that
[2:24:08] he's team hit Steven does has
[2:24:12] been unsafe. The city needs to
[2:24:13] stop all raise on street
[2:24:15] vendors and do a serious legal
[2:24:17] review. Oakland's inforcement
[2:24:17] pot practices and the vendors
[2:24:19] and advocates have collected
[2:24:21] enough factual support that,
[2:24:23] you know, that investigation
[2:24:26] and with open exceeded his
[2:24:27] legal authority. Look pride
[2:24:28] centers of its property
[2:24:31] without adequate processes. Do
[2:24:32] both permitted and unpermitted
[2:24:34] vendors have been impacted.
[2:24:37] Our legal representative
[2:24:39] requested documents. He was
[2:24:40] ignored. He requested them
[2:24:41] again. He was ignored. I
[2:24:42] requested them. My request was
[2:24:43] redirected. Know documents
[2:24:48] were given and either way to
[2:24:49] the documents don't exist,
[2:24:50] which is a problem and unsafe
[2:24:52] or the documents being
[2:24:53] withheld and then was also a
[2:25:01] state visit. My daughter Joy
[2:25:03] summer, Ali, I want talk about
[2:25:04] a few things. One, I don't
[2:25:06] support the flock cameras into
[2:25:07] your time. A public safety but
[2:25:08] never have I ever heard talk
[2:25:09] about a bunker that we can go
[2:25:13] to in case of any type of like
[2:25:14] people's things, not just
[2:25:14] going to happen or something
[2:25:15] like that. I that's something
[2:25:17] I should put of like. Where do
[2:25:18] we go? If our city is
[2:25:23] destroyed? Are we on our own?
[2:25:24] Bridges? Doric Street vending
[2:25:26] culture neighborhood based
[2:25:28] economic system within the
[2:25:29] open community should not
[2:25:30] become the lies are erase. It
[2:25:31] is part of the Oakland
[2:25:31] identity and should be
[2:25:34] protected and supported. This
[2:25:35] is a quality of life for
[2:25:37] working class of black and
[2:25:39] brown floats. Now cause all of
[2:25:40] us have multiple jobs and side
[2:25:41] hustles to be able to exist in
[2:25:43] the city were born in raised
[2:25:45] in our culture and quality of
[2:25:47] life keeps getting negatively
[2:25:49] impacted by and for people who
[2:25:50] are not from here and can't
[2:25:52] figure out how to fit in.
[2:25:53] There has been talk about the
[2:25:54] trash and loud noise at the
[2:25:59] lake. We vendors how all agree
[2:26:00] we have as a city of 4
[2:26:08] cardboard trash can. Hire
[2:26:14] staff. Councilmember Wang
[2:26:14] Councilmember Brown comes
[2:26:15] member Phife and Councilmember
[2:26:20] Houston I sincerely hope that
[2:26:21] you consider what it means for
[2:26:25] a community to be safe. Does
[2:26:26] it make a community safe if we
[2:26:28] have cameras at every corner
[2:26:29] doesn't make a community safe.
[2:26:29] If we have multiple
[2:26:30] helicopters above our heads,
[2:26:33] does it feel safe to have men
[2:26:38] with arms and weapons on
[2:26:39] constantly patrolling every
[2:26:39] street. Corner weather is
[2:26:43] eyesore. Oakland pd. I do not
[2:26:45] believe that a safety safety
[2:26:45] starts with community safety
[2:26:48] starts with housing. Safety
[2:26:49] starts with health care. And
[2:26:52] it starts here in this
[2:26:54] committee. But you
[2:26:55] consistently tonight have
[2:26:57] shown that you will neglect
[2:26:59] safety of Oakland, citizens of
[2:27:02] the people of this town
[2:27:03] because you do not care for
[2:27:04] the safety of the reddest
[2:27:08] residents of Oakland and
[2:27:08] multiple of you have ignored
[2:27:19] multiple public comments, not.
[2:27:20] Madeline, Stacey, I'm opposed
[2:27:21] to the recent direction the
[2:27:23] city has taken against our
[2:27:26] street vendors. It is violent
[2:27:27] gatekeeping. The courts have
[2:27:28] already decided over and over
[2:27:29] again across California. Your
[2:27:30] approach is a violation of
[2:27:32] street vendors, constitutional
[2:27:34] rights. The state government
[2:27:35] recently passed the Safe
[2:27:39] Sidewalk Vending Act sb 946,
[2:27:39] which street decriminalize
[2:27:40] street vending statewide
[2:27:41] shifting of force meant away
[2:27:43] from criminal penalties. What
[2:27:45] the town is doing is in direct
[2:27:46] violation of both the series
[2:27:47] of lawsuits, the side of a
[2:27:49] street vendor's rights and sb
[2:27:52] 946, every dollar spent
[2:27:53] policing vendors should be
[2:27:54] redirected into small business
[2:27:55] grants, equipment, subsidies
[2:27:57] and technical assistant
[2:27:58] assistance program. Street
[2:28:01] vendors are entrepreneuers and
[2:28:02] making something or nothing.
[2:28:03] Their skill should be
[2:28:04] recognized, respected and
[2:28:07] honored, not criminalized.
[2:28:07] Tiffany is not just about
[2:28:10] food. Our commerce, it's about
[2:28:11] dignity. It's about who gets
[2:28:14] to exist in public spaces to
[2:28:15] criminalize of regulate. This
[2:28:16] ecosystem is not just bad
[2:28:16] policy is betrayal up.
[2:28:26] Oakland's identity. Hello City
[2:28:26] Council. My name is Seleka
[2:28:27] Time and I would like to
[2:28:30] address the 3 murders violence
[2:28:33] on JANUARY. 3rd, 2026 on 80th
[2:28:37] and another 3 murders plus
[2:28:38] fines by victims injured one
[2:28:40] Avenue by a hit and run on MAY
[2:28:44] 16th 2026. I foresee my
[2:28:44] condolences the families and
[2:28:47] to the victims. A 5th Avenue
[2:28:48] has always been known for is
[2:28:50] tragic traffic collisions in
[2:28:52] crime. So can we please sb
[2:28:56] cameras, peak bumps and a
[2:28:56] redesigned to slow down
[2:28:58] traffic in that area to reduce
[2:29:01] crime. And MAY we also please
[2:29:02] reinstate the bliss program
[2:29:04] for Adam Attic. Trash cleanup
[2:29:08] in that area and poor. All
[2:29:09] Oakland high spots so that we
[2:29:09] don't have to wait on anyone
[2:29:11] to report it. Thank you. And I
[2:29:15] just want to say that all of
[2:29:15] you are doing a very good job
[2:29:18] in Oakland has came so far
[2:29:20] even with the murders. We're
[2:29:22] down from about 130 murders
[2:29:23] per year. And we're down to 57
[2:29:33] and so this is one thing I
[2:29:38] know me all the time. I know
[2:29:40] that ms Brown works taught.
[2:29:44] And does homework. And makes
[2:29:47] contribution that a ballot.
[2:29:47] And sometimes we go ahead
[2:29:51] system. But you must system
[2:29:52] some stand and he want to talk
[2:29:52] about something else. But I
[2:29:55] have to defend you. You very
[2:29:57] efficient. Just like Fyffe. We
[2:29:58] fall out all the time. But you
[2:30:02] must system. And anybody say
[2:30:03] you don't do work. You do just
[2:30:04] like in Houston, you do to
[2:30:06] work. Even this Wang. You do
[2:30:07] work. You know, we fall out
[2:30:11] all the But I respect that.
[2:30:13] You do the work. It might not
[2:30:17] be the workout will. But you
[2:30:18] work. And nobody come in here
[2:30:22] and tell you. What are you
[2:30:23] doing? She's doing halt work.
[2:30:26] Ms Brown. And thank you. All
[2:30:31] of you. Okay. So we all fly
[2:30:42] you call the police on. Thank
[2:30:43] you for your ball as switching
[2:30:44] to zoom speak a player. You
[2:30:48] yourself begin your comment.
[2:30:50] Plant thanks to the meeting
[2:30:53] today are I'm pretty
[2:30:55] disappointed. However, I'm
[2:30:56] thankful I the new police
[2:30:56] chief sounds pretty
[2:30:57] interesting. He's been around
[2:31:01] Oakland for a while. He He
[2:31:03] knows the importance of
[2:31:04] community and participation of
[2:31:10] community that's good for
[2:31:11] getting it said that the
[2:31:11] administration is
[2:31:12] understanding that concept as
[2:31:15] well at this time. And,
[2:31:15] Brooke, what did they want to
[2:31:16] practice their their form of
[2:31:18] policy making their
[2:31:19] understanding the community's
[2:31:20] role in what they've
[2:31:21] developer, police oversight
[2:31:23] and other things. I think that
[2:31:26] starting to happen more. Good
[2:31:28] luck. We can talk more about
[2:31:30] clock accountability and that
[2:31:32] we can talk about the concept
[2:31:35] not a better accountability
[2:31:35] would block exactly happened
[2:31:38] with their contact things. But
[2:31:41] we start to really address the
[2:31:44] concept keep more strategic
[2:31:45] placement of our tech that can
[2:31:47] reduce tech year mall in small
[2:31:50] amount and that can Thank you
[2:31:51] for your comments are that
[2:31:52] includes all speakers. Create
[2:31:57] Councilmember Fife. I thank
[2:31:59] you. Chair Wang for allowing
[2:32:02] me the privilege to just
[2:32:05] clarify for some of the public
[2:32:06] speakers about my contribution
[2:32:07] to community in Oakland and
[2:32:10] I'll be brief because I don't
[2:32:12] talk about what I do. I am not
[2:32:17] a social media MAY even where
[2:32:19] and always in the public
[2:32:21] sharing what I do and part of
[2:32:23] the reasons why don't talk
[2:32:26] about it is because the
[2:32:26] conditions that I want to see
[2:32:27] change in the community are
[2:32:29] not solved yet. So I don't go
[2:32:32] out and celebrate the fact
[2:32:33] that I've been a part of the
[2:32:35] study group's political study
[2:32:37] groups to provide political
[2:32:39] education to the community or
[2:32:40] safe houses. When there are
[2:32:43] incidents with Nazis other
[2:32:46] issues in our community were
[2:32:49] my people have had to go into
[2:32:52] hiding because of being docks
[2:32:54] for the work we do in
[2:32:55] community or the birthing
[2:32:55] centers or the medical
[2:33:01] training or the independent
[2:33:02] schools or I could talk about
[2:33:03] the things that I've done in
[2:33:04] this city that most of you all
[2:33:08] had haven't even thought of to
[2:33:08] support my communities. So
[2:33:11] before the public gets up here
[2:33:11] and talks about what I'm not
[2:33:13] doing, any bodies not doing, I
[2:33:17] suggest more research. I don't
[2:33:19] disagree with public being
[2:33:21] able to state what they want.
[2:33:21] I want to say or what they
[2:33:25] want to see. But I take it
[2:33:26] personally when somebody comes
[2:33:27] up here talking about what I'm
[2:33:28] not doing and the community
[2:33:31] and that's how I heard you, my
[2:33:34] friend. So everyone has the
[2:33:38] right to point out the
[2:33:39] criticisms or the critiques or
[2:33:41] the challenges. But what I'm
[2:33:42] saying when it comes to
[2:33:46] Councilmember Fife as I was
[2:33:47] organizer in the streets of
[2:33:48] West Oakland for almost 30
[2:33:51] years before I got here, which
[2:33:52] is what put me here. So check
[2:33:53] my record before you come up
[2:33:57] here talking about me because
[2:33:59] I I got it from the mud and I
[2:34:00] will continue to do what I
[2:34:01] need to do for my people for
[2:34:03] black people in Oakland. We
[2:34:06] got to do both and we can't
[2:34:08] talk about the utopia that we
[2:34:08] want to see if we haven't
[2:34:10] created the systems for that
[2:34:13] in the community today. And
[2:34:16] I'm very well aware of what is
[2:34:19] needed about what is is
[2:34:20] studied, what is research what
[2:34:21] we need to keep people safe.
[2:34:23] But the difference between me
[2:34:24] and most people, especially
[2:34:26] people who were just talking
[2:34:29] and meetings. I put the work
[2:34:30] in and I never this is the
[2:34:33] first time I ever have talked
[2:34:36] at length about I I I with
[2:34:37] sometimes all come up here and
[2:34:40] get it twisted. I have like we
[2:34:42] have my collective. We are
[2:34:44] about shoot. And should know
[2:34:48] that. Thank you. Of course,
[2:34:52] Councilmember Houston. Yeah, i
[2:34:53] just wanted to just say I'm
[2:34:56] glad Council move. If I say we
[2:34:57] she said because I'd like to
[2:34:58] say just a few things about
[2:35:02] just on the strength people
[2:35:03] could tell me that I'm doing
[2:35:06] wrong district 7. If they from
[2:35:08] distance 7 now give a rip what
[2:35:09] they say. But the reason why I
[2:35:12] said saying this is because
[2:35:14] council member Brown. That's
[2:35:18] my girl, right? I mean, she
[2:35:20] guides me through she doing a
[2:35:21] She's across the city and I'll
[2:35:24] stand to fire any day of week.
[2:35:25] So Kuzma really do a good job.
[2:35:28] Keep it up. And if from
[2:35:29] district 7, you know, we you
[2:35:33] know what, I feel. Thank you.
[2:35:37] Colleagues. I think with that.
