safety starting with three
point twenty eight.
Staff is asking or we're asking
that the item be- scheduled to
the November fourth- city
council agenda on consent the
nine AM meeting as- this item
is a- after discussion with the
2029 we would request that this item go to the November 4th council agenda on consent at 9 a.m. And
for item 330
This item is being requested to be scheduled to the November 4th City Council agenda
If amendable to counsel the Rules Committee either consent or non consent
For this item and I believe staff may be here for item 3.33
to be part of that is there an
urgency.
We do have staff present I
believe we do also have staff
online if staff can approach
the podium but I believe.
I'm this item was in the ten
day packet and this item has
been out there for the public
to review in a timely manner.
So we're asking that is does
bypass committee as it go to
the special meeting it doesn't
need an urgency finding but it
the public. I think the thing is this is a. I think this is an item that the public is
extremely interested in is there something extremely urgent that would. Would have challenges
if it didn't go to. November four. Dr Tracy Jones. OPD police services manager. I don't
I know if our subject matter expert is available online,
if he could start and I could also add.
Through the chair, you have Dr. Carlo Beckman
from OPD on Zoom as well.
Apologies, I'm preparing for a medical procedure
and couldn't be there in person today.
The reason for urgency is twofold.
One, clarification on whether we can continue
to utilize this technology is paramount,
especially giving the staffing challenges that OPD is having to, I just like to remind everybody that we are still utilizing this technology under a memorandum of understanding.
The city did not execute a contract with flock.
And so, there is urgency to ensure that we get an actual contract executed with this organization,
including getting all of the schedules and everything signed,
that was not a part of the past process
because it was done through an MOU.
So those are the main reasons for urgency.
I understand that the community,
I understand that this has divided the community,
but we have been presenting this
at the Privacy Commission for several months,
and I believe that the community
will still be afforded time to provide their feedback
Directly at the council meeting
councilmember
see of
Sorry, I hear the urgency concerns, but there's lots of contracts
We should have approved a long time ago that are being continued in a couple of extra weeks
I don't think it when you counterbalance public interest versus a couple of extra weeks
I think that this is the reason we have committees to be able to discuss debate invite the public in a
Smaller format, you know instead of waiting for dozens hundreds of potentially public commenters at a big council meeting
You have a smaller forum to discuss this stuff and let council members really listen to community feedback and consider amendments and consider what the pub
What the staff is saying so I would like to request that this does go back to the Public Safety Committee on November 18th
And I agree you should go back to Public Safety
So the sort of Public Safety
And that would be November 18 6 p.m.
This is the time of year for
this time of year.
3.31. Performance Audit Of Oakland Police Emergency Response Times
That's correct.
Good morning.
I believe staff is here to
address 3.31.
Is the auditor staff here as
far as preference to where that
item is going?
Thank you.
Good morning committee
members.
For the record, Dina Shoup with
the office of the city auditor,
I'm here on behalf of city
auditor Houston.
He doesn't have a preference in
terms of dates that he presents
of public interest and I would like for it to be considered separately from other complex
issues that divert the committee and the public's attention away from the emergency response
times audit.
Any questions?
Sorry?
Councilmember Armachander.
Thank you.
I would be interested in sending this to committee and if there's the auditor is then interested
in having this go to non consent after that meeting for a second time for the public to
to hear a report, I might be perfectly amenable
to that as well.
Through the chair, Auditor Houston would be fine with that.
Okay.
This is, what's the date?
November 18th.
Through the chair and I believe that action dispensed
with your items for new scheduling,
which would be the completion of item three.
Let's go to the public speakers.
As I call your name, please approach the podium.
In any order or raise your hand,
if you are participating via Zoom,
please state your name for the record
so I can give you the appropriate amount of time.
I have Mark Baracol and Brooke Levin,
both who I believe are on Zoom.
Starting with Mark.
Mark, I have you for two items
that will give you two minutes.
Please unmute yourself and begin your comments.
Thank you.
Good morning, everyone.
I'm Mark Baricol.
They have the privilege of serving as chair of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission.
And I just want to comment on item 3.1.
You know there's been a real absence of transparency and communication around the city's response
to this grand jury report.
In the middle of October, October 14th, I contacted the city administrator requesting
an update on the city's response because it was already past due, and I did not receive
response to my query and now everything seems very very rushed in as much as the
the city's response is due to come out tomorrow and there's going to be a
discussion on it in City Council on the 4th so that doesn't really serve the
interest of the public very well to have everything so rushed because the city
was was late on getting its response out there was an extension in there as well
I want to thank the council president for moving it to a non-consent item so
there can be a full discussion around this item because I think there's a lot
of public interest in many of the points that the grand jury report brought up
with regard to measure Q which is the topic that the grand jury covered that
is in the purview of Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. So with
that I will sum up my comments and and yield thank you very much thank you for
your comments moving to our last speaker on this item Brooke Levin I have you for
one item please unmute yourself and begin your comments thank you chair
Jenkins members of the committee and staff Brooke Levin I am the measure Q
co-chair and I'm a member of the parks recreation foundation board and advocacy
chair. We're very pleased that this has moved to non-consent and we're following
Mark's comments very disappointed that this has been dragged out for so long. We
have not read the response by the city administration and we are looking
forward to seeing it but it won't come out till tomorrow for this 9 a.m. meeting
on Tuesday which is going to be an availability issue for a number of people
people and getting people informed is really in a very short time period difficult.
This is an important issue.
Not just the measure queue, but all of the issues the grand jury covered regarding Oakland.
Only one issue in the grand jury report is a non-Oakland issue.
So I hope that you will all take time to really review this carefully.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Ms. Levitt, for your comments, Mr. Chair.
That was the final speaker.
All right, so 3.1 is moved to non-consent.
3.5, there's a title change.
3.26, it will be going to LEC November 18th,
3.27, scheduled to LEC November 18th,
3.28, November 4th, on consent.
3.29, November 4th, on consent.
3.30, scheduled to November 18th, Public Safety Committee.

4. Review Of Draft Agendas And Pending Lists

Which is a review of the draft
the report out so closed session which should be moved.
So I'm making an announcement the.
Sorry, you have one speaker.
Okay, so I'm making an announcement.
The November 4th, 11 a.m. meeting will be canceled
and the EAP policy will move to December 2nd.
Is there somebody here from District 7 to speak?
Through the chair, good morning.
Trinity Hall from the Office of the Senate of Oakland,
Houston district 7 councilmember we are requesting to schedule a special City Council meeting on December the 2nd at 6 p.m.
To schedule the EAP. I am
So we'll work on the timing
Councilmember
Like to thank you trinity. Good morning, everyone. How you guys doing you good?
so I got a bunch of phone calls from our constituents from the business owners and
December is enough time for us to go through it,
embed it and look at it.
And so everyone can have a say, everyone, the public.
But they called me to my constituents
and the business owners.
They were saying, can you do it at six o'clock?
Because, and I should have listened
to my council member at large.
She told me to do it later in the evenings.
And she was right.
I appreciate that.
That they wanna be involved.
They said that the individuals that came out,
this is what I'm getting from my constituents,
to the city of Kansas and we're
going to have a lot of people
who don't speak for them. Right
and they wanted their work and
they're running a business and
they want to come out they want
to perform. On they want to talk
on zoom if they can't so. If we
can the closer to the evening.
President will be great for my
constituents and businesses so
they participate and I appreciate
everyone good morning. Thank you
so much council member. Anything
from the administration. Good
item number three.
And it's in to the pending list
specifically the C. E. D. pending
list.
And it's under item of November
eighteenth.
I'm C. E. D. item number four
the information report on the
city of Oakland's cannabis
equity program we would like to
reschedule that item to the
December ninth C. E. D. committee.
Just a clarifying question because there's a slight discrepancy on Legistar.
Is the November 4th morning meeting at 9 a.m. or 9 30 a.m.?
Through the chair, it's at 9 a.m.
The Legistar time should be correct.
It's just the text on this agenda says 9 30.
Okay, thank you.
Let's go to the public comment.
You have one speaker on this item, Blair Beekman, who I believe is on Zoom.
Mr. Beekman, please unmute yourself and begin your comments.
Hi, Blair Beekman.
I wanted to comment on the upcoming city council session,
November 6th, the morning session,
the 9 a.m. morning session.
Item 5.13 is an appointment to the privacy commission.
And I wanted to use that time to initially express my dismay
over the AOPR and flocks situation
that was coming directly to council
instead of going through committee.
Thank you so much in how you worked on this issue
so it can return for just conversation and dialogue.
And we can really get a better sense
and understand what the future of this item can be.
I think there's a real responsibility to question Flock
and what is their purpose and can we find another service
that can do the same job as Flock
that is not as questionable,
and I don't think that's unreasonable to ask for
and look for and thank you
that you're allowing the time for that.
As Osada always likes to say,
I mean, she loves having the committee process first.
She doesn't like things going straight to council,
and you're doing that well for this, thank you.
I also, I wanted to comment that as you're bringing in
a new privacy commission person,
you're trying to find a balance
for the police commission and privacy commission.
Good luck in that, we have to be practicing good oversight
and they have to be allowed,
both commissions have to be allowed good oversight practices
and I would hate for that to be hamstrung.
So good luck that we have a good oversight process
and balance, thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Beekman, for your comments.
That was our only speaker who signed up for this item.
And just an announcement,
all committee meetings will be held in the chamber
going forward.
So what we have is item four on CED,
is rescheduled to December 9th.
City AD pending list, November 4th, 11 a.m.
City Council meeting is canceled.
And we will work to find a time for the EAP
as close to the evening as
possible.
I'll entertain a motion.
I move approval.
Second.
On the motion to approve item
four as amended move by Council
Member Brown, seconded by
Council Member Ramachandran.
Council Member Brown?
Aye.
Council Member Fife is excused.
Council Member Ramachandran?
Aye.
And Chair Jenkins?
Aye.
Motion passes with a vote of
three ayes, one excused.
Fife.
5. Amendments To The City's Conflict Of Interest Code
Moving to item 5, adopting ordinance amending and reenacting the City of Oakland Conference
of Interest Code, ordinance number 11562 adopted March 23, 1993 as last submitted by ordinance
number 13778 adopted January 16, 2025 codified as open municipal code chapter 3.16 to update
the designation of positions covered by the code. To save myself the headache I
will give my report from my seat. You can give yourself 45 seconds. I will take the
time needed to give my report, thank you.
Before you is the conflict of interest code, the political reform at
to that government code section.
Eighty seven three zero six point five requires every local
government to review its conflict of interest code and
report to its code reviewing body.
Whether it's necessary to amend the code or to report that no
amendments are necessary.
The city council's the route reviewing body for the city's
conflict conflict of interest code.
The office of the city attorney.
and government all of the departments within the city of Oakland to determine which employees and positions as well as
Boards and commission positions should be added or deleted and which disclosure categories the filing should occur
As stated an employee and board and commission member is required to disclose
financial interest as specified by the category for his or her position
the city is also required to send
the draft code to the public ethics committee and we have
To make comments and we have done that process and I stated before this code was reviewed by all departments

6. Amend And Restating The Council's Rules Of Procedure
going to item six a
Resolution amending and restating the council rules of procedure in their entirety in order to assure council meetings run in an orderly and efficient manner
that one on the item.
And the second item on the item
along for non consent items to be heard earlier.
In the meeting create an additional presiding officer
position to serve as presiding officer in the absence of the
council president and make non-substantive technical
edits.
And there are no speakers on this item so seeing that we heard
this item.
Before we are deciding for this was at the request of council
seeing no questions and no speakers. I'll entertain a motion to forward this to, we
already forwarded it, yeah we have to do it again. Okay. We're forwarding it to
November 4th. Second. Not a consent. But if there are questions from Council Member
Brown or members of the public, but there's no comment on it. So I don't think there's happy to answer. But it's the same
motion to approve the motion.
to November 4th, 9 a.m. on non-consent. You do have one speaker for open forum, Blair Beekman,
who is on Zoom. Please unmute yourself and begin your comments. Hi, thank you, Blair Beekman.
Yeah, I moved to San Diego in 2022. I'd lived in San Jose the previous 10 years, learning
tech accountability, and now I've moved back here to the Bay Area. I'll be here for the next four
or months or so.
So I'll be around occasionally.
Thanks for the meeting.
Man, it's just a relief
that we can be working on the AOPRs and block issues.
We really, I learned important lessons in San Diego
that city council persons promote
that we can reduce AOPRs
and still maintain good neighborhood public safety.
Good luck in that.
And always wanting to be accountable
with the surveillance tech.
You had a committee meeting last, during this week,
that talked about the future of working on trash issues.
And the surveillance cameras
and the AOPRs involved with those issues,
it got really confused in the past few years
that you were trying to clean up and clear up.
And as there's a new council person
in charge of that process,
I hope she can be aware of that
and wants to really make the efforts
for the surveillance tech use around illegal dumping
to be an open, clear process,
and it doesn't have to be hidden or secretive.
And it's a really important lesson to learn.
And I think it can help promote an overall better,
by practicing it openly and accountably,
that can actually better work towards
an overall trash cleanup we're trying to work towards
instead of a whole secretive hidden process.
So that's my take on life.
It's the kind of stuff I work on and want to talk about
and how the community process can always be more
and more open and clear.
You guys really made those steps today.
Thank you, incredibly good learning lesson.
And so thanks a lot.
And I'll see you again sometime.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Beekman.
We always appreciate your comments.
Seeing no more open forum, this meeting is adjourned.
