the public a clear and balanced picture of both progress and remaining gaps. Thank you.

5. Adding Rule 33 to Council rules
Item number four is approved as amended with four eyes that now takes us to our discussion item number five
I will read it into record
This is a resolution amending the and reinstating the council's rules of procedure to in their entirety in order
to add rule 33 regarding the hybrid meeting and technological
distribution there of
Okay I will be brief this is pretty straight forward.
Sit I should read city clerk Senate bill seven oh seven effective January one twenty twenty six
substantially amended the California brown act these amendments include a requirement that the city council adopts a policy regarding disruption for internet service occurring during hybrid media
city council adopt a policy regarding disruption for internet service
occurring during hybrid meetings. The proposed resolution restates the
council's existing rules of procedure so not changing anything in their entirety
while also adding rule 33 to comply with obligations of Senate bill 707. The rule
includes three provisions section a requires that all meetings of the city
We're already doing section B describes the procedures that will be followed if the internet service enabling hybrid meetings is disrupted
Section C provides limited circumstance where the City Council may hold a meeting without providing a hybrid option
To come to a compliance with Senate bill 707 this proposal rule 33 should be adopted prior to July 1
826 and the city attorney is here if you have questions beyond my knowledge base
I'll entertain a motion for this to go to the non-consent
At the next City Council meeting it needs to be heard or not. It's it
Second thank you. We do have two speakers for this item. I have Rajani mandala and Kevin Dali
Let's try this again, Kevin Dali
Okay, I'm not sure what's going on
and I don't know if the clerk can assist
because it's not giving me that.
There we go.
Mr. Depp.
Guess what?
The mute, the unmute popped up this time,
definitely zoom bugs and I'll be reporting those.
I wonder if we can also discuss the possibility
of improving the connections for commission meetings
as well as council meetings.
and that would help a lot being assuming Zoom works
to be able to interface with those.
Don't know if that's possible.
And I'll mention the pending list that I'm concerned about.
By the way, and I know it's too late,
but I'll say it anyway, parking administrator,
I don't see it on the finance committee pending list
or on the list for a meeting,
even though there were plans of having
the parking administrator come to full council in early May,
I think it was the May 5th meeting.
And if we do that,
it really needs to come to Finance Committee first.
Thanks.
Thank you for your comments.
Next up is Rajni Mandal, if we can unmute, thank you.
Rajni Mandal, District 4.
Rule 33 makes clear that hybrid meetings
require two way public participation, not just observation.
I wanna flag that this is not how all city bodies
are currently operating.
The police commission is currently limiting zoom
to observation only and directing the public
to submit written e-commence instead.
But written comments are not the same
as real time public participation
and that approach does not align with state law
or what this rule requires.
There's no exception in SB 707 or rule 33
for staffing or implementation constraints.
So as council adopts this,
I ask that you also ensure consistent implementation
across all boards and commissions
so the public has the same access everywhere.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments
and that concludes our public commenters on this item.
We have a motion by Council Member Rama-Chandrin,
seconded by Council Member Fyfe
to approve this item to be forwarded
to the May 5th City Council agenda on non-consent.
With that, on roll Council Member Brown.
Oop, my apologies.
I think the rule thirty three only provides, I mean, applies to city council bodies, so
the city council meetings and the city council committees.
Thank you for that clarification and that eloquent presentation, City Clerk Reed.
Again, on roll for this item, we go through some, sorry, Council Member Brown?
Aye.
Council Member Fai?
Aye.
Council Member Ramachandran?
Aye.
And Chair Jenkins?
Aye.
approved with four eyes to be moved to the May 5th City Council agenda on non
consent that now takes us to open forum I have Rajni Mandal and Kevin Dali and
Paula Hawthorne. I will take those who are present in chamber first and then
we will go to zone speakers. Ms. Hawthorne good morning. Yes Paula Hawthorne the
memorandum of understanding with the Oakland Police Officers Association
It's a very long time.
I would really like to thank youI'm asking you and also the
coalition for police accountability is asking you to
put in the public safety agenda a report from the city
administrator on what changes the city will be making in the
M. O. U. I have changes I would like to see which I emailed to
But my point today is not so much to argue for my changes as to ask you to stop the secrecy
around the MOU.
It's a public document.
You vote to approve it in a public meeting.
Before you do that, don't you want to hear what changes the people of Oakland would like
to see?
It doesn't have to be around the money.
There's a lot in that MOU that's not just about money, it's about policy.
And you really need to have an open, transparent discussion about it.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
We are now moving to the Zoom speakers.
I have Rajni Mandal and then Kevin Dalley.
Rajni, we can unmute yourself and begin.
Rajni Mandal, District 4.
I wanna thank the city attorney
for issuing a clear public legal opinion
on the police commission vacancy process.
That guidance matters.
The opinion makes three important points.
First, selecting an alternate is not automatic.
It requires formal commission action.
Second, that action must be appropriately noticed.
And third, even after selection, the role is temporary
and still subject to full selection panel
and council confirmation process.
That clarity is important because it defines
when a decision actually happens
and how the commission's role fits with council authority.
I also wanna note a broader pattern.
Since 2020, about one in four public legal opinions
from the city attorney have involved the police commission.
That's not a small government number.
It suggests ongoing questions about structure,
process and governance.
And as the auditor has said, it's not just about staffing,
it's about making sure the system is clear,
consistent and accountable.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
Next up is Kevin Dalley.
You are unmuted, please unmute yourself.
Okay.
Thanks, this is Kevin Dalley.
Thanks to the city clerk for explaining rule 33.
But I encourage the city to go beyond state,
what is required by state law.
State law sets a minimum on public participation,
but it does not set a maximum on public participation.
The city is allowed to find a way
of having two-way remote participation
for commission meetings and encourage it to do so,
even though the state law does not require it.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
That concludes our open forum speakers.
Thank you.
Council Member Warren.
Excellent, thank you so much, President Jenkins.
I just wanted to make a quick announcement
that this week is dispatcher appreciation week.
And I would just wanted to make a special shout out
to all of our OPD and OFD dispatchers
for their dedicated and crucial work in the city of Oakland.
Your ability to think quickly, act with precision,
and lead with compassion help save lives
and keep our community safe.
Through your work, though your work often happens
behind the scenes, the impact is profound
and we are all very grateful.
And then I'm sure you all received an email
about some of the activities that will be happening
in some of the dispatcher locations.
I'm hoping that everyone can go and celebrate
our amazing dispatchers that work for the city of Oakland.
Thank you.
Thank you, Councilmember Brown.
I appreciate that.
This meeting is adjourned.
