3.24. Department Of Race And Equity Update
Department of Race and it was regarding the Department of Race and Equity update
and the committee approved to receive and for this item to the March 3rd City
Council agenda on non-consent question to the committee chair is there a reason
that this was forwarded to non-consent as opposed to consent and I asked because we
have an impacted agenda. I brought that up in the committee and there were one
or two committee members that wanted the presentation to be made to the entire
council. I made the suggestion to review the video but you know I entertained the
will of the committee at that time. Understandable. Councilmember Brown. Yes so
that is correct, two of the committee members were interested in ensuring that the entire
body received the information that was presented. Is it possible to move the item to a council
meeting that is not as impacted? I mean, if council members want to see what's presented,
they can go to the meetings, as you did, as you're not a member of the body, right? So
So if they want to see it, they can watch the video.
I agree with Dean Fife on this one.
I mean, I agree with Dean Fife on this one.
If people want to see the presentation, they can go,
or they can watch it online.
So what we can do is entertain moving this
to another council meeting.
So can we put it on the pending list?
Can we put it on the?
And then just for clarity, it's currently scheduled to Tuesday.
Is that correct?
this coming Tuesday? Yes, the recommendations from committees was
scheduled to this Tuesday's March 3rd council meeting. Okay, so could we add it
to the special meeting on March the 16th? Councilmember Fyfe, do you have a
preference? Whatever is the will of the majority, it is it's my perspective that
if there's action to be taken then it makes more sense to hear a report. If
If there's no action to be taken it's my recommendation for council members to either attend the meetings, or to watch the video
tough remember I'm trying to do you wanna weigh in?
Just in the it seems like we do have a number of non consent items on the 16th
Is it possible to move it to another meeting or hear it on?
Consent we're at the option of council members asking questions
That sounds good. Yeah the consent sounds like the best option
consent for next user

and that completes your new scheduling we do have two speakers sweet I have a
card from Michael Ford and Rajni Maddal if you're here in Preston please
the process we have currently
and he felt like he cannot wait
until city council or committee
to approach this issue.
One of the issue he wanted to
bring forward is that.
Last night during the homeless
let me just open it up real
quick.
During the homeless commission
on homelessness there was a
presentation from the mayor's
office.
I'm from Sasha so I'm going to
put that down a little bit
later.
So I'm going to put that down a
little bit later.
I'm going to put that down a
little bit later.
I'm going to put that down a
For the next couple years.
We've been doing a ton of
things from Sasha an amazing
presentation done around
homeless strategic action plan
and his frustration comes from
the lack of engagement with the
council prior to bringing this
information forward to the
public.
We've had several calls and
inquiries from our constituent
which we cannot properly
explain because we haven't had
proper briefing to the council
staff- can you relate this to
scheduling is this related to
scheduling.
Thank you, thank you
If I called your name, please approach the podium
Good morning
Rules committee and the public Michael Ford. I'm actually a city of Oakland employee, but this morning
I'm here as a local 21 member in Oakland resident. I had three quick comments about item
310
310 one and 4a that adds a classification of parking administrator and
Exempting that from civil service making it an at-will position
My three comments are first unlike the broader parking takeover that the city administration has have been attempting to carry out without any public process
I'm very grateful
That this particular action is subject to City Council review and authorization
Second, I'm deeply concerned that the city is using
Its limited resources and precious staff time
Uh, to fix something that is not broken on the contrary your current parking organization and its personnel have a proven track record
Have been entrusted by the city council
Repeatedly with more and more responsibilities and have recently been honored with a national award for its innovative effort
Thank you
Thank you so much
Yes, your time has ended. Thank you so much
I'm also speaking on 3.10.
I want to speak in support of maintaining and strengthening the role of the constitutional
policing administrator.
This position is a linchpin in Oakland's effort to exit the NSA and finally bring this 20-plus
process here to a close.
Since November, ACA, Michelle Phillips has stepped into the role in a very short time,
has made a strong and professional presence before the federal court in the last CMC in
January.
I've seen her actively referenced an NSA task force meeting and across multiple agenda
items tied to OPD policy work, including tonight's memo regarding the qualitative discipline
study that's going to be presented to the police commission.
This role provides coordination, accountability, and continuity across multiple departments,
including OPD, the federal monitor, the court, city attorney, and more.
Without that central alignment, compliance becomes fragmented.
So the NSA costs Oakland millions of dollars each year, and so a focused, empowered, constitutional
And that process is essential for all of us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That concludes your public commenters.
Thank you.
Any comments from the council members?
We're going to go to 3.0, urgency finding 3.2 will be a oral report, 3.3 will be withdrawn
and moved to the pending list.
3.5 will add CM Brown as a co-author with the rule 24, 3.6 we're adding Mayor Lee,
as a co-sponsor 3.7 scheduling to March 24th public safety 3.8 we're gonna put
this on consent and there's a rule 24 3.12 there's a title change moved to
March 24th CED committee 3.13 scheduled to April 14th life enrichment 3.14 moved
to March 16th council meeting on consent 3.24 moved to consent I'll
entertain a motion. So moved. Second.

On roll for this motion,
Councilmember Brown?

4. Review Of Draft Agendas, Pending Lists, Council And Committees
to approve as amended item three. Moving on to item number four. Item number four
is review of the draft agendas pending lists and the council and committee
meetings as of March 3rd the council meetings and the rules meeting that week
the pending list and the March 10th draft agendas. Anything from the
administration? Yes, anyone from the city administrator's office we do have some
changes. First change would be to the draft agenda for March 10, 2026 for CED. Item number
three has a title change. Hello, title change is as follows. A resolution authorizing the
city administrator to accept and appropriate up to four point four million dollars in grant
funds from the federal lead hazard reduction grant program to enter into a professional
services agreement with Habitat for Humanity East Bay Silicon Valley Inc. in an amount
not to exceed $4,021,094.30 to provide grant administration and management construction
services for the lead-based paint, mitigation, and healthy homes programs and to waive the
City of Oakland's local and small local business enterprise program requirements, local employment
and Oakland apprenticeship requirements, and requests for proposal, qualifications, and
competitive process requirements.
3. Upon completion of a competitive procurement process, enter into one or more agreements in a
total amount not to exceed $321,397 with one or more workforce development services providers
to expand the supply of workers and firms available to conduct lead-based paint mitigation
and healthy homes work and 4. Make grants to eligible property owners for the remediation
of lead-based paint hazards and healthy home improvements. Thank you. And then one more
thank you for your time and
support for the item.
We're changed to the March
third- city council agenda for
five point one of the staffs
here to address it.
Thanks Bragg Johnson director
finance a staff would like to
request that item five point
one at the move to the March
tenth public work and
transportation committee to
allow for completion of the
extensive supplemental
information requested.
And have a further discussion
around the item- we've
it's not a special meeting.
Yes thank you.
Just noting that the march seventeenth meeting sitting
again for the public march seventeenth meeting will be
cancelled we will have a special march sixteenth meeting.
Thank you for that we do have one speaker and just to confirm
the time for the march.
Sixteenth special meeting at three thirty.
Yes three thirty thank you so much for that we have a
The mayor's appointment of Doug Wong
to the police commission be scheduled as soon as possible.
We currently have a commissioner on medical leave
and I wanna wish him a speedy recovery,
but in the meantime, quorum is essential.
The police chief search has officially begun
and the commission remains central
to NSA compliance oversight.
Both require a fully seated and functioning commission
and delays in appointments affect governance
at a critical moment.
Separately, I'm asking rules to calendar discussion
of potential amendments to the city's surveillance ordinance.
The 2024 OPD annual surveillance reports
showed how onerous the paperwork
and reporting mandates have become.
It's not about reducing oversight,
but about aligning deadlines and requirements
with realistic workloads and operational capacity.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That concludes our speakers for item number four.
So noting 5.1 to move back to committee for March 10th
and item three, a title change, I'll entertain a motion.
So moved.
Thank you for that.
And that was a motion by Council Member Fife,
seconded by Council Member Brown,
to approve item four as amended on roll.
Council Member Brown.
Aye.
Council Member Fife.
Aye.
Council Member Ramachandran.
Aye.
And Chair Jenkins.
Aye.
Item number four is approved as amended.

for open forum.
please approach the podium in any order.
You have one minute.
Thank you.
Good morning again, Michael Ford here
as a local 21 member and Oakland resident.
Just two quick things for open forum.
First, I wanted to say my third comment on item 3.10.
I'm disappointed and perplexed
by the city administration's efforts to replace
an established lower cost protected position
for parking manager with an at-will position
in such a sensitive role where integrity is so important.
And then second, I do support the city's request
to postpone the supplemental report.
I think it is a good idea to send it back to committee
and to give the city more time
to prepare for this important reorg
with the aim of having a data-informed public process
to make sure that any changes to your parking organization
is carried out in the best interests of the city.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Ford.
Rajni Mundell, District 4.
At Public Safety this week,
there was an extensive discussion about discipline
and scaly timelines, and during that discussion,
figures were introduced that were not included
in the published agenda materials.
Whether accurate or not,
that moment highlighted a broader issue,
the lack of standardized publicly accessible reporting.
As the city considers discipline processes
potential changes to oversight responsibilities all departments should
operate under consistent transparency standards currently cipras were sporting
reporting does not match the depth frequency or metric clarity we see from
opd and city administration there's been no recent publicly issued annual
report and key discipline metrics are not consistently published with
standardized definitions under the city charter the police commission is
responsible for overseeing cipra but the current reporting structure does not yet
demonstrate the level of formal oversight contemplated by that mandate.
With the auditor's performance audit forthcoming, I urge this committee to establish uniform
transparency and reporting expectations for SIPRA equal to every other department.
Oversight must itself be accountable.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And that concludes your open forum speakers.
Thank you.
This meeting is adjourned.
