Thank you- I do believe it's
I would like to request us to go to committee first to preferably life
enrichment. Okay thank you so much similarly I think it should also go
through committee this I these items were typically typically scheduled to
LEC and so it's my understanding that the upcoming LEC agenda may be impacted
So would that be LEC on February the 24th?
You have to ask the chair councilmember Houston
Good chair. Good morning. I like to say congratulations first off. Do you know what I'm saying? Congratulations about on
December the 30th you guys know about the half money that you guys received. Do you guys know about that the 21 million?
We were asking do you guys know about that half money? I'm saying congratulations
So, let me say this is it that you don't know that because the same way you didn't know about that
December the 24th letter from Cal ICH
Remember to throw scheduling in there. You gotta keep the scheduling. Oh, this is about scheduling councilmember
Because the schedule that happened on December the first council members
Was a letter on the second a letter was sent to the mayor and sent to the city administrator
To say that it would in a fear
with the help fund
You remember that letter right?
Then on the 23rd, I wonder if you guys got this letter or December the 24th that
The EAP meets the requirements of the state guidelines. Did you guys get that letter?
I'm asking questions council members. I'm your colleague
so
then
23 days later
It's really funny council member 23 days later. They send a letter to say
It is in compliance
with
The state of California, and that's the inner agency
so what I'm saying is
Are we gonna keep delaying this?
EAP for what reason? I don't even know why we're talking about it. It should
have been passed back in August. What are we doing here? Are we being
bamboozled? Are we? And it's councilman, are we being bamboozled? Because I don't
even know why we're talking about it because it's... Let me say, I think that
says right here on a letter that you should have got from Cal ACH on
on December the 24th it says here while the current draft current it has never been and
this is scheduling this is scheduling council member by saying scheduling you have to relate
it back to scheduling okay so right here while the current draft of the EAP meets the minimum
requirements of the state guidance oh wow it went through so I'm saying why are we not
I just wanna know,
is that what it is Council President?
I'm not gonna be here
for a majority of the meeting on the 17th.
Okay.
And you know, I respect you and I want you here.
As I, yeah.
So what I'm saying is I wanted to still go for the 17th
because I don't even know why we're talking about this.
If you know, we got the half money to 21 million
that is said that we wouldn't get here.
That's what it is.
I'm not gonna be here for a majority of the meeting
on the 17th.
Okay.
And you know, I respect you and I want you here.
As I, yeah.
what I would get do your Doc do your research do your research council members don't look like this in the public schedule.
So let's schedule it.
No yeah council members you guys said it that you wanted an L. E. C. from hearing from your colleagues is that change your mind.

Good morning. My name is nita b. I just want to thank the two council members for
Directing item 3.5 to life enrichment committee that it was the correct thing to do
I applaud you for doing the right thing and I also want to reiterate that it is a bad
Policy that the city of Oakland really does need to adopt a public health and a human rights approach to homelessness
That's the only way you're going to find a solution to this crisis.
But criminalizing people and fighting them and taking their RVs while they're homeless
and nowhere to go, that's not a solution.
That's cruel.
And that's aligned with what Trump is doing.
So I applaud you for doing the right thing.
Thank you.
My name is Mike Pianton.
I'm an architect and a resident of District 2 for almost 50 years now.
When I first came to the city, the population of Oakland was about 45% African American.
It's now 20%.
Yet more than 50% of the unhoused people on the streets are African American.
It has a lot to do with the way the real estate industry and the housing community operates
in this city.
There's no reason to penalize people.
60% of the residents of the city are renters, not homeowners.
I'm a homeowner and a business founder.
But I speak now on behalf of the renters.
I was a renter for a good part of my life.
60% are renters, and 40% of those
are what is called cost burdened.
They are spending much more than 30%
of their income on housing, which is what it should be.
They're at 50% and 60% of their income paying for their housing.
They're on the verge of being unhoused.
And under Trump's policies and what he's done to HUD,
within the next two years, the unhoused population of Oakland
We'll double.
And I've been part of this industry for 50 years,
I keep track of those numbers.
It's going to be-
Thank you, sir, your time is up.
Hello, my name is Nina LaShultz,
and I'm a law student,
and I've been an Oakland resident for 13 years,
and Council Member Wong is my council member.
I would just like to urge the committee
not to schedule the EAP for a committee,
and not to hear the EAP.
The proposal does nothing but punish
our most vulnerable community members.
It doesn't take into account the impact
that it will have on the lives of the people it targets,
and it doesn't really offer real solutions.
And so it should not be considered
until there are actually real solutions
reflected in the proposal.
Thank you.
Hello, my name is Lily Robles.
I'm a housing advocate
with the East Bay Community Law Center.
I'm speaking in strong opposition to scheduling the EAP.
Again and again, we've seen Oaklanders come
to these meetings in force to protect
unhoused community members' safety and dignity.
The consensus is very clear, Oakland does not want the EAP.
This proposal would only criminalize black, brown,
and disabled community members.
The city would waste millions of dollars
destroying unhoused Oaklanders shelters
and essential possessions.
It proposes no solutions
for the underlying causes of homelessness.
and would leave on house Oaklanders with nowhere to go.
Community members with lived experiences
have the answers to our homelessness crisis
and must be heard instead of being shut out of the process.
For years they have demanded that the city
open up public land and RV parking,
ensure existing shelters are meeting residents' needs
and provide sanitation services to encampments.
Thank you.
Good morning, my name is Charlotte.
I'm a District 2 resident
and I would also like to speak out
against putting the EAP on the calendar
before the full council.
I think it's rather disingenuous
of council member Hueman, Houston to wonder out loud
why this isn't going to the full council, why it's not ready.
There are many reasons.
The threats to funding are just the tip of the iceberg.
There hasn't been a fiscal analysis.
There hasn't been a race and equity analysis.
The city is currently contracting with a tow yard
that is under investigation for corruption.
So there are many reasons why this policy
is nowhere near ready.
And it's also, on its face, a bad policy.
As another speaker just said, HUD is cutting funds.
The homeless problem is not gonna get better,
it's going to get worse.
Oakland needs to actually be proactive on this issue
and identify real solutions that get to the real issue
of homelessness.
Spending millions of dollars to shuffle people around
is a bad idea, it's a stupid idea.
You don't need to be a policy wonk,
you don't need to enter into the details to see that.
It's just a bad idea.
Hello, council members.
My name is Bridget Nicoleti,
and I'm an attorney at East Bay Community Law Center.
Since the EAP was introduced last year,
we have been meeting with the council members
to raise our concerns with the proposed plan
and suggest alternatives.
The EAP, as it stands,
will cause immense harm to unhoused Oaklanders.
I have attended all of the city council meetings
on this policy, and when the public is given proper notice
that the EAP will be on the agenda,
dozens and dozens of Oaklanders have come
to speak up against it.
I urge you to listen to Oakland residents.
I also want to urge the council
to not schedule the EAP today,
but if you feel it must be scheduled,
then I agree that the Life Enrichment Committee
is the most appropriate place.
People's lives are at stake,
and it's very important that we take the time
to properly consider this alternative,
this policy and propose alternatives.
Thank you.
My name is Satya, I'm a District 7 resident.
I've been following this policy closely
since its inception, and I have to say
that I'm shocked at the haphazard way
that some members of the council
have repeatedly attempted to shove it through
without oversight or community transparency.
We have reminded you enough times
that this is a proposal that throws Oakland's
most persecuted citizens under the bus,
that throws my district, District 7, under the bus
by refusing to take responsibility
for the structural violence that has led
to the systemic disenfranchisement
of working class black families in East Oakland.
The kind of disenfranchisement
that has created a society where,
inexcusably and overwhelmingly,
the first people to end up on the street
during any economic crisis are black seniors,
single mothers, and people with disabilities.
It saddens me deeply that I still see this council
after implementing nothing meaningful in the past year
to change the conditions of the people
that I work with every day,
sitting up here and discussing this violent policy again
instead of coming up with some real solutions.
Thank you.
Hello, Madeline Stacey.
I'm talking about the encampment abatement policy as well.
It should not be brought to city council for a vote.
It should not be scheduled.
One, it was already voted down
in the Public Safety Committee some time ago.
And also it's not ready for a vote.
As I believe it was Charlotte, as already stated,
the due diligence of information gathering
has not been done.
It would be very, very costly, as others have also said,
money that is not, there's no additional funding for the EAP.
The money has to come from somewhere,
it's going to be diverted from other funding sources,
from other projects.
Staffing and money is going to go into this
when we already are in a budget crisis.
It's not going to help that crisis,
and it's not going to provide actual solutions.
So money's going to be funneled in to just displace people
to other parts of your districts
or to another council member's district.
It's not going to provide solutions,
and it's going to be extremely costly.
And it's affecting, as another gentleman said.
Armando I wish we could take inspiration from Minneapolis is courageous stand against authoritarianism instead of resisting the Trump agenda
This council is talking about aligning us with the Trump agenda
That's what the EAP does the constant rhetoric we hear from certain council members police captains and city staff
Echoes Trump's executive order on ending crime and disorder on America streets
They are attempting to create an association of the unhoused with criminality and danger
and that stigma is used as a pretext
to deprive people of due process rights.
The case law says that evictions and toads
with no notice or storage violates the Fourth Amendment.
This is the same far-right playbook
being used against immigrants.
Call them criminals, create a stigma,
in order to deprive them of due process
and erode constitutional rights.
Look at the state of this country
with democracies hanging by a thread,
and you're poised to further erode constitutional rights,
which exposes the city to liability,
But more importantly, it's like what stand are we taking
as a city?
What message are we sending?
And it's not an evidence-based solution.
It's a waste of money.
You're just moving people around
instead of giving them a place to go.
The low sensitivity zones are just little slivers
on the most marginal parts of the city.
We need more sanctioned, safe living areas
where people can get some healthcare.
And there's so much money from the county
for these wraparound services.
give people a place to go or it can deliver these services.
Rajni Mandel, District 4, I'm speaking on 3.14.
There's a lot of attention right now on OPD Overtime,
and much of it focuses on headline numbers
or individual cases.
What's missing is shared context,
and I'm hoping that this report
is an opportunity to provide that.
So as the item moves forward,
I hope that the agenda packet clearly explains
three things in plain language.
First, how Overtime is tracked and approved,
including the difference between paid overtime and comp time.
Second, how staffing levels extended leave
and mandatory coverage drive overtime
so the public can distinguish between structural factors
from discretionary ones.
And third, how prior city auditor recommendations fit
into the picture, including which remain open
because they required labor negotiations
or payroll system changes.
I'd also encourage staff to place OPD overtime
in the broader city payroll context
since the auditor has identified similar system level issues
in other departments.
My hope is that when this reaches the finance committee,
the report helps shift the conversation from assumptions
to a clear understanding of what's driving overtime
and what changes would realistically reduce costs over time.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
Now moving to the Zoom speakers starting with Delphine.
Delphine, please unmute yourself and begin your comments.
Yes, I am calling on the city council.
Well, the Life Enrichment Committee,
when the Encampment Abatement Policy so-called
comes before them to reject this oppressive legislation,
it really does nothing for public safety
and will criminalize many folks who are already being targeted
with unjust state violence, it's the way things
are under the Encountment Management Policy.
It only makes things so much worse.
It will make life much harder for poor people
who are disproportionately black and brown.
So please vote no on the EAP
in the Life Enrichment Committee on February 24th.
Thank you.
Next speaker on Zoom identified as S.
Please state your name.
Hello, my name is Sunin.
S-I-M-I-N.
go ahead with your comments. I'm also here to speak on the EAP. I believe that
it would be an act of gross negligence for the committee to put this up for a
vote or to schedule it, when as others have said it fundamentally lacks of
fiscal analysis, recent equity analysis. It doesn't address the corrupt tow yard
that is the only tow yard that the city contracts with which would be getting
millions of dollars if the EAP did pass. And the amendments to include the city
administration's report to identify city land that can be converted to
shelter should be done before not after the EAP passes. The EAP is flawed
from the start. It's deadly, it's costly, and it's ineffective and it's those are
some of the reasons why over 20 small businesses, Oakland's major unions
including the OEA and the UAW region 6, affordable housing coalitions, and interpersonal violence
organizations. Thank you for your comments Mr. Chair. All names have been called. Thank you.
Thank you to all the speakers. Are there any potential commissioners that want to come up

Good morning again. I would like to draw your attention to the Finance and Management Committee
Pending lists under the quarterly reports item number three the quarterly report
and then I would also like to
make sure that when we come on
public safety over time we would
like to schedule that item to
the March tenth finance and
management committee.
Anything from the departments.
Any public speakers.
You have one speaker for item
four Rajni Mandal.
He meant about Doug Wong to the
police commission and to request
clarity and when this item will
return to council.
At a prior meeting the
appointment could not move
this now to ensure the process is completed and that the seat is filled without further
delay.
As the council may be aware, the mayor recently spoke at federal court about this appointment
alongside Judge Grillo, who begins serving as commissioner next week.
In that proceeding, the mayor emphasized that these appointments are part of an all-hands-on-deck
effort to strengthen civilian oversight and to prepare the city to sustain constitutional
policing after federal oversight ends.
Doug Wong was presented to the court as a volunteer commissioner with decades of public
service including nearly 30 years as a firefighter senior roles with OUSD and
Berkeley City Council and current leadership in the East Bay community.
His appointment was described in court as directly relevant to the city's
ability to complete its remaining oversight obligations. This matters even
more because the police Commission is entering a year with five anticipated
vacancies. Thank You Miss Mondo that was the only speaker. Noting item three
to hear that motion.
Scheduled to March tenth F. A. M.
Finance of management.
I'll entertain a motion.
Move approval.
On the motion by councilmember
Brown second by councilmember
rama chondrin to prove excuse me
to approve item four.
As amended councilmember Brown
I councilmember rama chondrin
I.
Chair Jenkins.
five is excused that does conclude your action items going to open forum you
have one speaker Rajni mandala she'll get skipping you updates Rajni mandala
district 4 so I wanted to share an update for council and staff on last
week's federal court hearing regarding the negotiated settlement agreement the
tone of the hearing was noticeably different with the judge acknowledging
real progress by the city and expressed increased confidence that Oakland can
and sustained constitutional policing
once federal oversight ends.
What the court emphasized was how that progress was achieved.
The judge credited coordination across city leadership,
including OPD, the mayor's office,
the city administrator's office, the city attorney's office,
the city council, and civilian oversight bodies.
This was not framed as the work of a single department,
but as alignment across institutions
that will need to function together after the NSA concludes.
So that coordination showed up as a more cohesive
and supportive posture across city government,
which the court viewed as important signal
of readiness for local accountability.
He was clear that responsibility
for constitutional policing ultimately rests
with Oakland's elected and appointed leadership
and not the federal court.
So oversight doesn't end with the NSA,
it transitions back to fully local governance.
So I'm sharing this update to underscore
that the progress recognized last week
depends on continued coordination
as the city prepares for a post NSA environment.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments,
that was the only speaker for open forum.
This meeting is adjourned.
