policy perspective both and

11, 2.18 The 0. 37 3.0 38. Hi,
everyone. Tried. Will be 3
minutes to begin. 3.2 cains
beer. A point is Oakland
police chief. Mean agreement,
a nice agreement that, you
know, new police chief He has
a long history with opd so he
can be navigable in how
community works. And I'm
hopeful that from the at, you
know, as much as
administration and city
council has made a big push
towards the idea of wanting to
be, you know, focusing on city
administration point of view
with our issues, you're
starting to better see that.
It is community that really
defined are good. That's
police practices over the past
10 years. And I think you want
to be trusting that we've had
3 police killings in the past
year where we had 3 in the
previous Kent. So that's
another concern that we have
to be really focusing on our
community in how to address
our police issues. They're
really needed. I'm hoping
administration's understanding
that respecting that good luck
in that effort and ourselves,
we learning that with the
Coliseum payment allocation
ideas. He just had tax lien
forgiveness. Policies say you
can create. You know, social
services practices for for
troubled areas. And Oakland
that can be working with
county of Alameda. So good
luck and those sort of effort
explaining that 2 with the
Coliseum purchase things and
how that negotiation process
moves It can help. I think
with the negotiating process
that we all want it to go.

to make a go so so we can get
your to can go well. Parking
operator, contract extension
things. Thanks for the Kevin

of tech that's going to be
involved with this. If you
make that open public process

to bring people to Oakland.

You guys have been with the
flock contract for the past 6
months. That has not been

make that information. The
very least accessible and
understandable. What the
holdup is and what's going on
with that. We have to wait til
SEPTEMBER OCTOBER, NOVEMBER to
get the police report on all
of this. I got to wait till
then to understand why you
said with urgent that the
contracts had to be signed by
by MARCH of 2026. And now it's
JULY and it's quite possible
the plot contracts have been
developed. So there's a real
problem and you guys have to
be, I think, really developing
ideas and explanations to the
public. What's going on? And
I'm waiting for those
explanations from yourselves.
Please work on that. We have.
It's awesome plan. You guys
have set up that the community
helps to find a picture of pr
b#
#
besides clock. That
means we could be deciding on
a feature of a of a
corporation that doesn't
practice war to the same
degree. And that's awesome
thing. The community can be
working on. Why not do this
process really well, you guys
are making it really overly
complicated and it's shameful,
almost. And and. That
