Anwar, are we... Anwar is passing and so we will now move to those who are participating online. I have
Blair Beekman. You are on muted. You may begin.
Hi.
Excuse me, Carl. Blair Beekman.
I wanted to speak on items 3.17, 3.28, and 3.34.
Today, my three items.
10-7 is working on illegal dumping issues.
I've noticed a lot of illegal dumping items you've been having that is a mixed bag to
me that some are helpful and some are a bit overly punitive.
Good luck in working towards to me the more helpful community minded dumping issues on
how to work on the illegal dumping matters.
were trying to set up a community process for garbage collection issues
back in January and February. I was really excited to hear about that and
was hopeful. How was that process going in inviting a community process to come
up with answers on on illegal dumping and trash issues? I think that can be
really helpful and how it can develop. I hope at this point it's starting to
develop well and good luck in those continued efforts. For item 3.27 or no 3.28 OFCY city
span technology contract extension items, it's really nice to see your OFCY work that you do
and that comes to council agendas here. It's working you know with young people,
children and youth services programs I think can be a great model and example for San Diego
that is really I've been talking about their austere budgeting and cutting measures going on.
You know children and youth programs are really on the cutting block in San Diego and it's so nice
to see these items here in Oakland that I hope can be inspiring in how San Diego can learn
important lessons to keep the services and what you really do well in Oakland. I can't emphasize
enough what you guys do well in tough budget times. That, there are a lot of budget items
on your agenda this week today, so really good luck in continued efforts in the importance
of social services despite real budget concerns at this time. And for item 334 is approving
the violence reduction plan and measure end-to-end issues. Man, this was brought to public safety
a couple days ago and it was a really good learning process that for myself. I hope to talk more at
length about this issue. I don't think I can in 20 seconds but TITA1 funding or TI1 funding,
I want to learn to talk about that more and thank you that it's going to the the funding of this
this sort of item is gonna come back
to counseling in June at some point, thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
Our next speaker participating in Zoom, Kevin Dalley.

in the City Council and committee meetings and this is for your draft
agendas I mean your agendas for June 2nd, June 4th pending list as well as the
draft June 9th and June 11th committees. Good morning David Jones, Treasury
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
We have a request for an item that's being scheduled June 2nd.
Item number 6.5 is for the fiscal year 26-27 tax and revenue anticipation notes.
Currently that item is on consent but it needs to be on non-consent and that's due to California
government code five three six three five point seven and making any decisions that involve
borrowing in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars or more the legislative body of the
local agency shall discuss consider and deliberate each decision as a separate item of business
on the agenda of its meeting as prescribed in chapter nine section five four five zero
So this needs to be moved to non-consent, I believe.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Bridgett Ruiz-Ripuzo from Councilmember Wong's office.
We want to,
from the Public Safety Committee pending list
for July 14th,
item number one,
needs to be moved to September 22nd,

And there is a title change with that.
Can I go ahead and read it?
Okay.
Ordinance one,
reaffirming the city of Oakland sanctuary city policy
collectively found in resolution numbers 6395080584.
eight six four nine eight eight seven zero three six CMS and ordinance number
one three five one five CMS to prohibiting the use of the city property
for non-city purposes three establishing additional requirements
for the city's response to transfer requests and for consolidating and
codifying these provisions as chapters of the Oakland municipal code and
so that's why we're making
the decision of designating
this ordinance as the city of
refuge ordinance.
And then there's one more item

I'm going to turn it over to you.
I'm going to turn it over to Ciarana Shawnney.
Shawnney and Kevin Dally and Rajni Mandal and in the order, if you're participating in person, please approach the podium.
If you're participating online, please raise your hand, those who are here in person. Good morning, Rajni.
Good morning, Rajni Mandal District 4. For future agenda items, I encourage the committee to consider rescheduling the September 29th City Council meeting, which overlaps with the next federal NSA CMC scheduled for 3.30 p.m.
progress towards potential NSA exit I think it would benefit if both council
and the public to avoid a conflict with the hearing of that significance. I also
want to briefly acknowledge the city's extraordinary milestone. For the first
time in the history of the NSA process OPD has reached compliance with all 51
tasks. That reflects years of work and more recently remarkable collaboration
across city leadership. I want to recognize Mayor Lee, Chief Beard, ACA
Phillips, DC Osman, DC Smith, City Attorney Richardson and Bridget Martin
across those departments who worked tirelessly behind the scenes.
The question before the court now is no longer simply whether progress has occurred,
but whether the reforms are sustainable.
Oakland should recognize just how significant this moment is
and continue supporting the collaborative leadership
that helped bring the city to this point.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
We will, um...
I have Karen, you are unmuted, you may begin.
Thanks, this is Karen Chenoy.

his hand raised in the QIC Blair Beakman but I do not have a card for Blair Beakman for
item four. I have a card for item five, six, and that concludes your speakers for item four.
Okay so noting July 14th PSC item number one will be moved to September 22nd noting uh no date

5. Resolution Submitting Real Property Transfer Tax Measures To Voters
That now takes us to item number five.
Item number five is a resolution submitting to the voters
at the November 3rd, 2026 general election,
a measure to amend Oakland Municipal Code
Chapter 4.20 to amend the exception for foreclosures
Transactions and advise measure advisory measure on whether the increased revenue from
Amending the city real property transfer tax to include certain foreclosure
Transactions should be spent for the purpose of so providing interim shelter
Transitional housing encampment closure operations addiction
treatment, job readiness and other related
homelessness services and directing the city clerk
to take any and all action necessary under the law
to submit these measures to voters at the general election
and making CEQA findings.
I do have three speakers for this item.
All right.
Appreciate it.
Sorry, thanks y'all.
We just need a few minutes to tee up the presentation.
Okay, all right, thanks everyone.
Thanks for bearing with me.
So I am putting before this committee
a ballot measure to close a loophole related to foreclosure
and what is called Deed and Lou of foreclosure
as well as foreclosures
and an accompanying ballot measure because,
well anyways, the city attorney can explain
where that is needed for this particular tax proposal.
So first of all, what we're seeing right now
is a significant increase in foreclosures, right?
Because people are frankly struggling.
You can see this headline from the Wall Street Journal
that was just published this month.
As it relates to the city of Oakland,
we also have stressors on our commercial market.
We just had an office building foreclose
in East Oakland near the airport.
And then of course, we have a number of apartment buildings,
also rocked by foreclosures.
This was last year and documented by the Oakland side.
So when it comes to also just the background
on institutional investors in particular,
when it comes to foreclosures,
the Government Accountability Office
in a report to Congress, this is back in 2024,
documented that essentially in the wake
of the housing crisis in 2008.
There's been this rise in institutional investment
where essentially what is called real estate investment
trusts actually bulk purchase up foreclosed homes at auction
and convert them into rental housing.
You can also note that in studies show
that these institutional investors are also more likely
to file evictions than other property owners.
Now I wish I had a map for the city of Oakland,
But you can see here from this map in Rice University that it establishes that in communities
with many foreclosures we're seeing these major single-family residential real estate
investment trusts essentially own these properties.
The key thing that I want to note too in many studies establish that it is in minority and
lower wealth neighborhoods where many of these acquisitions are happening and so we're also
taking away opportunities for general wealth building.
So what this is essentially proposing to do, it's pretty simple, is just taking our existing
real estate transfer tax ordinance and modifying the language that way we close that loophole.
I want to explain to you some of how the market works because it's a lack of tax equity, right?
these higher capitalized trust funds that have the ability to, A, acquire these foreclosed
properties because the auctions require 100% cash.
So it's structurally blocking out families who rely on traditional financing.
Again, this is essentially what I would call a Wall Street loophole where REITs and hedge
funds are not, they're acquiring these foreclosed homes tax-free.
And the other thing is that does create market distortion by essentially creating a corporate
tax subsidy.
Furthermore, when it comes to the city of Oakland and our tax revenue, these are some
of the headlines that we had recently in terms of major foreclosed acquisitions.
On the right column, you can see how much tax revenue we could have stood to gain from
each of those transfers.
And I think the deeply ironic thing is that when the economy is down and we're seeing
this downturn by this real estate transfer tax, that's when we see a contraction in our
real estate transfer tax.
So the goal of closing this loophole is actually ensuring when we see those downturns, we actually
get more tax revenue into the city.
The other thing I want to point out by closing this loophole, right now, there's actually
the financial incentive to complete a foreclosure.
Now, I'm not saying that this is necessarily going to happen in all cases, but by closing
this loophole, we are more likely to apply some pressure for the market to instead pursue
loan modifications instead of foreclosures that we know have impacts to people's credits.
It results in people getting evicted, anyways, all sorts of downstream impacts.
I also wanted to note that in this legislation that especially because, let's be real, the
glut of office vacancies that we have in the city of Oakland, we're not going to be able
to, like we have, I looked into this, we cannot, there's no way that we can make a mandatory
return to office for private companies and so we're going to be challenged in this in
in terms of the real estate market.
And so this also includes an exemption.
So if these, especially some of the commercial facilities,
although it goes for anything,
or if they're converted to interim housing or shelters,
or SRO housing, or as well as healthcare,
because we have an aging baby boomer population,
we will always need healthcare,
there's actually, the taxes is removed.
So we're actually incentivizing adaptive reuse,
especially for our downtown cores
and our retail corridors that are also being challenged.
Now, as I mentioned,
there's also an accompanying ballot measure,
the advisory ballot measure,
which is comparable to what Berkeley did.
What we can note here is that Oakland's unhoused,
we continue to be incredibly challenged.
I know that we had some good news recently
around the pit count.
I'll be honest, I don't see that reduction happening
in my district unless everybody's just pushing
their unhoused folks to district two.
We have only 26 open spots out of 1,261 interim shelter
spots across the city.
So it is a false narrative that people don't accept shelter.
There's just not enough spots.
And I also wanna note since Measure W is something
that many folks have pointed out is something
that will be the solution to homelessness,
if you actually look at how the county is spending Measure W,
the majority of that funding
is going to permanent supportive housing,
which will take years to build out.
And by my own modeling, because they haven't,
I haven't seen them publish how much they estimate
they will actually reduce homelessness,
we will still be incredibly challenged
with our unsheltered homeless population in particular.
Furthermore, if Measure E doesn't pass,
as it's been written about,
we are slated to have 200 interim spots closed.
The other thing that I wanna note
about our homelessness response system
and what this is in particular designed to do
is that essentially the focus
on permanent supportive housing means that
these resources are dedicated
for those who are the highest acuity,
which means folks who fall on just hard times,
who have been on the streets for a few months,
Those are the folks in our homelessness population
that are being the least well served.
There is very little available for these folks.
I would like, essentially what this is designed to do
is to get a roof over their head.
Many folks, by estimates, 25% of our encampment population
is actually relying on seasonal work
to help them with job readiness,
in including employment to help abate our city's blight,
as well as leveraging state reimbursements via Medi-Cal
for addiction treatment,
because there are different levels of addiction treatment.
And the longer that you're on the street,
the more acute that your addiction becomes,
and the more that someone does need
actually a permanent subsidy
instead of being able to become self-sufficient, right?
Which is the key,
especially when we have limited tax resources.
So, that is the proposal.
I also wanted to note that I have some floor amendments here.
And the first thing is just to reinstate this,
these particular exceptions.
One thing being the transfer is a natural person or a family trust
and the property consists of four residential units or less.
The reason being since, as I noted about the dynamics
between real estate investment trusts
versus perhaps just a regular family
trying to acquire a foreclosed home.
This is actually an important pathway
of affordable home ownership.
The other thing that I'm just adding is,
I wanna make clear because our finances department there,
they would not be penalizing the person
who's getting foreclosed on,
But I wanted to add that in legal language,
just to make sure that this is absolutely clear.
Thank you, Council Member Wong.
Is there somebody from staff coming up?
No?
Okay, colleagues, if you guys have any questions,
if not, I'll start.
Thank you for all your work that you've done on this.
It seems very complex, right?
And I'm gonna take my time in doing the research
to look over this, but it definitely seems like
you put a lot of thought into this.
Do you have any projections on how much
this would raise a year?
I do, although I'm somewhat reluctant to take this
with a grain of salt, because it is closing a loophole,
and our finance department is in the middle of budget season.
Basically, it's also very cyclical, right?
When it's in a time of distress, we would get a lot more revenue.
When it's a time where the economy is actually in the upswing
and we're not seeing a lot of foreclosures,
that's when the revenue would be less.
my estimates are it would be somewhere between
one million and five million dollars per year.
As a baseline, do you have any estimates
on what we would have netted in 20,
say 2022, 2023, 2024,
so that we'd have just kind of understanding of this?
I do not have the exact data,
but you can see that in slide four,
the millions of lost tax revenue.
Those were acquisitions that happened
over the last couple of years,
and these were just the headlines.
So this is definitely not a comprehensive picture.
So I'll take some time to meet with you
over the next couple of weeks.
I'll vote to advance this.
I think I've been pretty consistent though
in the city not doing county functions.
So when we talk about addiction treatment,
I think that's fundamentally a role
of behavioral health in the county.
And so I definitely will forward this forward
and meet with you about the intricate details,
but I am belligerently against the city
stepping into county roles and vice versa.
Thank you.
Excellent.
Thank you Council Member Wong for your work on this.
Similarly, I would like the opportunity
to engage a little bit more on this item.
I'm not sure if Council President Jenkins
had a recommendation on what date
you would like to forward this to the full council.
I do have a handful of questions.
I'm happy to talk offline with those.
But I guess I'll ask you this first one.
Where does the work-ready self-sufficiency pipeline
fit into the two recommendations proposed?
Which were the shelter expansion, employment,
and medical?
I was still asking the question, so did.
It's basically, this is what the advisory ballot measure,
so how do we spend the money,
this is where that falls into, so.
And it's basically establishing why are we funding
permanent supportive housing instead of interim housing.
This is not as I've established a huge revenue source,
and so part of this is to fund that underserved,
unhoused population that I will say, too,
that we have a lot of, for example,
single moms that are with children
that are languishing in our encampments
because to get off that permanent support
of housing wait list, you have to be on that for years.
And so, and you have to reach that acuity level
in order to get access to that particular housing.
So it's, we need more rapid response models
and that is what this is designed to do.
And the county will continue to use
that coordinated entry system.
We're just responding to Council President Jenkins.
The county will continue to use that coordinated entry system model that uses that high acuity
preference in essence.
Because there is a proposed ballot measure that is an amendment to the current real property
transfer tax, and that's a general tax, under the California Constitution that must remain
a general tax.
We are not allowed to impose special tax on the transfer of real property.
So what this proposal is, it maintains that general tax structure.
It would modify the current exemption for not taxing foreclosure related transaction
to limit it as the council member outlined.
And then there would be a separate ballot measure that would be advisory, non-binding
on the city council that would advise the council member on the will of the voters to
allocate the funds.
But it would not be binding and all the money would go into the general fund for allocation.
I'm available to answer questions, but I just want to make sure it was clear that it's not
operating similar to other special taxes, where there are limits by the voters on the
council's use of the funds.
So this advisory measure would not operate similar to other special taxes that the council
is used to where the uses as directed by the voters are binding on the council
this would be non binding input from the voters on how they would like to see
council allocate the funds and those uses are in the advisory measure and
this is one ballot measure or two they need to be to separate ballot measures
so we have to pay for two separate ballot measures there yes council
the councilmember heif.
This issue that is attempting to be resolved by these two ballot measures is incredibly complex.
And I guess my first question would be through the chair to councilmember Wong, are you working with our homelessness division, housing and community development, or any of our staff who focus on the housing development?
from this with their entire, you know, departments or are you working with community groups who
also specialize in these areas, or who are you working with to help advise this legislation?
Yeah.
No, absolutely.
And Cupid and I have been in discussion definitely about this ballot measure and implementation
of it.
to share with you, um, even
prior with Sasha, that gap that
I identified. She, you know,
agrees that that happened that
that exists, right? We have
previously under this council
have funded, for example,
homelessness prevention right
through that pilot through the
budget team. There continues to
be a gap for the people who
I wanna interrupt you because I've spent the majority of my career working on these
very issues.
People know me because of these issues for taking over a house for homeless moms in West
Oakland.
So I don't, I'm not asking about what the details are of the challenges with this population.
I'm asking what is the professional advice that you're taking to inform this legislation,
because there are a lot of questions in this legislation that are not answered with what
we've been presented today.
And so, again, there is a very serious gap that does need to be addressed with the direction
of our Housing Department focusing on permanent supportive housing.
I just, I want to be sure that what we're presenting to the voters, particularly because
there are multiple ballot measures that are a part of this legislation and there's a cost
to that, that every single question is answered.
I'm still not clear on the revenue that will be netted, the impact to R.E.T.T., what happens
if Measure E doesn't pass and we have the, you know, what did you say, $5 to $10 million?
I said somewhere between one to depends on which model you want, right?
It could be somewhere between one again and an economic upswing, in which case we would
have more of our traditional RETT during a time of economic downturn, right?
I mean, I suppose the sky is the limit, right, in terms of how much distress we could experience
and so, but based off of historical data, perhaps up to, you know, six million.
But again, this is, it all depends on the economy, right?
I just, I think when we're presenting, no, I don't even think, when we are presenting
as a body information to the voters, we need to be as definitive as possible.
We need numbers.
We need data.
And when I've been on this body and before I was here, ballot initiatives are serious.
We're presenting something to the voters and we want to be as clear as possible about what
will come from what we're passing.
So I'm just concerned that there's a lot left unanswered and I wanted to know if there's
and what we're seeing in the
long term is information on the
impact of the exemption.
If we can get clear on the
revenue that is lost due to
existing foreclosure
transaction exemptions, how does
the city stand to bring in
proposed revenue and if measure
E doesn't pass and this money is
going to the general purpose
fund and it's not binding, what
need to use the revenue for something else because we've seen that happen over the years.
So, I just know that in the past when we brought ballot measures in front of this body and
in front of voters, it's taking months and months, sometimes a year, for those deep dive
questions to be answered.
I remember when we were working on the business tax ballot measure, was it 2022?
I don't remember that there were meetings with the chamber,
with community groups and labor,
which I think is important around R-E-T-T
that happened for a very long time.
We had multiple presentations in the Rules Committee,
multiple city council meetings,
and that is the kind of rigor that I think we need to go
through when we're bringing something like this forward.
I think it's so needed.
So the attention that you're paying to this issue
is critical and it's so important.
I just think it needs more rigor to go through
the process to make sure that this is a solution
to the problem that we're facing.
Thank you, Councilmember Fyfe, to Councilmember Wong.
So question about that advisory piece,
and I'm gonna ask the clerk how much it costs per item
we put on the ballot, but is that something
that you're willing to amend?
Madam Clerk, what is the cost per item
that we put on the ballot.
So right now, depending on the length of the measure,
each ballot measure is approximately $600,000.
So I guess for something that's advisory in nature,
I would just want you to think about the cost.
It would be to the voters.
And if that's something that you don't have to answer today,
that you would consider removing.
Any more questions from the council members?
public speakers.
As I call your name, please approach the podium in any order.
If you're participating in Zoom, please raise your hand
so I can easily identify you.
I have Kieran Chinoy, Blair Beekman, and Kevin Dalley,
again, in any order.
If I called your name and you signed up to speak for item 5,
again, if you're here in person, please approach the podium.
We will now move to those who are online.
I don't see anyone in person.
I have Karen Chenoy, you are unmuted, you may begin.
Thank you, Karen Chenoy with the Bridge Association of Realtors.
First I want to thank Councilmember Wong for being responsive to the concerns that we raised
and we appreciate that the million dollar cap to the exemption was removed and we also
appreciate the restoration of the exemption for natural persons and family trusts.
Those were meaningful and important changes but that being said, we still have reservations
regarding the removal of exemptions for small investors and entities.
It is important to understand that not every entity is a large institutional investor or
Wall Street speculator.
Many smaller LLCs and closely held entities are simply local families, partnerships, or
small operators using standard liability structures to acquire and rehabilitate distressed properties.
These are often the very investors willing to take on difficult redevelopment projects
that larger institutional actors avoid.
We are also concerned that while the transfer tax may be relatively insignificant to some
From large banks and institutions, it could still affect underwriting decisions and further
disincentivize lenders from financing larger rehab projects in Oakland at a time when access
to capital for redevelopment is very important, tightening policies that increase transaction
costs that may further reduce the lending activity for those types of projects.
This is especially important during downturns, actually, when the city absolutely needs this
type of revitalization.
We certainly understand the council member's desire to target large institutional acquisitions
and generate revenue for good causes,
but we would respectfully encourage exploring ways to preserve
protections for small investors and operators who are
contributing positively to Oakland's housing stock and
the neighborhoods to ensure that the city's actions don't
generally disincentivize investment in our struggling commercial corridors. Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
We will now move to our next speaker.
Blair Beekman, you are unmuted. You may begin.
Hi, Blair Beekman.
it's I'm not very good at these sort of things. Yeah, I found it interesting item to hear and I was
overall impressed with what I heard from the previous public comment and from council person
five comments I guess a bit more study is needed and a bit a few more questions. I know that the
the work I do in living in San Diego and the life there,
the issues around shelter provision
versus finding actual housing for people is,
we want to be working more towards finding housing.
Shelter is important and this item
could be very good for that.
Finding housing is an overall important goal.
I like how Council person Wang tried to mention
that we don't want to be working towards programs
that simply keep people in a cycle,
and it's important how to learn
how to work out of that cycle.
And yeah, and so you're on the right track,
it seems like with this item.
I also have a few questions about that it's rewarding
that when we're in economic downturn period.
I mean, to me, it was interesting
how it worked out for this item that I felt acceptable.
But as questions are being asked,
I guess just an overall question that
relying on economic downturns that can
better support this program in the future may be a question to
ask a possible red flag to consider, a yellow flag to consider.
Otherwise, this item does have some real nice intentions. Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
Those are all the speakers who signed up to speak,
who have their hand raised in the queue.
Yeah, so council member, although there are a number
of questions, I think allowing this to go
to full council is appropriate.
I also think there should be some time in between this going
to full council while also respecting
that this would need to be heard twice
to get on the ballot once, once more.
Okay, so it only need once more, yeah.
Yes, through the, to the council president,
This would not require two hearings at council
under charter section 221.
The measures that require two hearings are bond measures,
parcel tax measures, and charter amendments.
Okay, so council member is July 7th okay with you?
I think that gives too far out.
June 16th.
So if you believe that you can work everything out
between now and June 2nd and so be it.
Council Member Ojmachandra?
Thank you.
We have a very impacted June 2nd calendar.
I would prefer the July 7th date.
You said that again?
We have a very impacted June 2nd calendar.
I'd prefer the July 7th date.
Okay, Council Member Brown.
Yes, I'm also supportive of the July date
and especially given some of the feedback
that we've received around community engagement,
outreach, just historically how long it takes
for these items to go through the process.
I think that another thing that's also important
in this engagement, and just even in general,
when we're bringing forth legislation,
there should be members of the public showing up
and saying, hey, you know what,
we support this for the following reasons.
So I think that if we give it some time
between now and July, I think some of the questions
that I didn't even ask, I would love those to be answered.
And in addition, more community engagement and outreach.
And so my vote is for the July 7th to move it to that date.
So I want to be clear.
I have done the community engagement.
Maybe you all weren't part of those discussions,
but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been done.
And I told, because this is rules,
once we've actually agendized
and put it on full city council.
People will come.
That's good.
Okay. Yeah.
To parliamentarian.
Yes. As a reminder, the council will need to adopt
an ordinance kind of consolidating our local
municipal election with the statewide election.
That ordinance includes all the ballot questions
from the measures that the council has placed on the ballot.
So basically we will need to know what measures
are going on the ballot prior to the council
considering that ordinance, and as you know,
ordinance is required two meetings,
so we would need the, right now,
there's two regular meetings scheduled in July,
so we will need those meetings,
unless there's gonna be a special meetings,
we'll need the July meetings
to deal with the consolidation ordinance.
Okay, so I will make a motion to forward this
to the June 16th city council meeting on non-consist.
17th.
June 16th.
June 16th. Is there a second? Can I second? Is there a second? Thank you, through the
chair, Councilmember Wong, you said that you have done community outreach. What
organizations have you done outreach with? So I've talked to Dr. Noha
Abraletta at Roots. So really this theory around more job readiness and
workforce development for this subset comes from her thinking and recognizing there is
a gap in the system.
As an example.
I would love to speak with you offline because I don't want you to take my comments as personal
because this is not personal.
I just think this needs more time to deliberate.
So, I was unaware of the information
that the parliamentarian just shared about
the July meetings potentially needing a special meeting.
This needs to line up, correct?
Sorry, yeah, just to clarify.
So, if any measure that council places on the ballot
will need to be done ideally in June
because we'll need the two regular meetings in July
to pass that consolidation ordinance.
So certainly, if the council is calling other special meetings,
that might throw off that schedule.
But as of now, there's two regular meetings in July,
and we'll need that for the council
to adopt the consolidation ordinance.
So, and then the consolidation ordinance states
any measure that's going on the ballot.
So any measure that's going on the ballot?
Okay, okay.
I understand, I'm just,
I don't know if the information that's being requested
by this committee can be done in two and a half
to three weeks.
That is my concern.
That'll be my problem, right?
So let me meet that challenge
and please give me your questions
and I will compile answers to that.
It's all of our issues and I hear what you're saying.
But we, the information that you're bringing forward,
we have to do our due diligence to put our faith
in the actual process and what's being crafted.
So I will support with a second.
And just to be frank, Council Member Wong,
through the chair, I'm going to be extremely rigorous
about how I investigate this particular item
because I think right now in the city of Oakland,
voters are very skeptical about their government.
And I want to make sure that what I put my name on,
especially around an issue that I've fought
my entire career for, makes sense.
And this is an area, again,
that I've spent a lot of time with.
And I believe that it needs a lot more scrutiny.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, no, that's absolutely fine.
I invite the rigor.
I also wanted to address one of the public comments,
By the way, there is an exception, to be clear,
carved out for community banks,
because I specifically wanted to make sure
that we weren't going to freeze up local credit flow.
So some of these things haven't thought through.
Again, this is an initial presentation.
Yes, it is a complex topic.
I assure you, I have done some of the thinking
and I welcome us to think through it as a team,
because I don't think of myself
as alone being the expert, of course,
but I don't know how we have that public debate
and engagement and amendments or whatever this body
wants to do unless we at least agendize it.
So thank you for doing that.
A second.
To the body, does the motion and a second include
forwarding to council with the amendments
that were shown by council member Wong?
Yes, with the floor of amendments.
Council member Ramachandra.
Thank you.
So through the chair of parliament, Taryn,
Is there no way that this could get on the ballot,
basically, if it's scheduled to a July meeting?
To Council Member Onchonda,
the consolidation ordinance will take two readings.
Materials are due to the county in early August.
The council goes on recess at the end of July.
So it just, as of now,
there's two regular meetings scheduled in July,
unless another special meeting was called.
We would need those two regular meetings
to adopt a consolidation ordinance.
So it is a possibility of doing both in July.
It would just be only those two meetings
plus being able to schedule the special one if needed.
Like theoretically, this could work in July.
Yes, theoretically if the council voted on July 7th,
the council meeting on July 7th to place this on the ballot,
that would bump the consolidation ordinance
to the next meeting in July
and then you'd need another meeting
for the second reading of the consolidation ordinance
because again, the measure would need to be referenced
in that consolidation ordinance.
Thank you.
My preference is still to have this be heard in July.
I too would like a lot more time to understand this.
I see that now there's enough council members
that I can't speak to you directly about it,
but I really want to understand the implications of this
and that does involve time
because all of the meetings in June are so impacted
and I think that we can get it,
there's, since I've been on council,
we've passed ballot measures in July.
We've gotten them in a tight timeline, it's not ideal,
and I know the clerk and city attorney,
that means a lot of work, but we've done it in the past,
having items start in July and end in July,
and get on the ballot, and it passes.
So my preference would be for this to go
to the July 7th meeting.
Through the chair, if I could,
while I do prefer you all to do your extra hard drill down
for ballot measures, as the city attorney said,
when you start the agenda process of a ballot measure
in July, it does push the city clerk's office
and the city attorney's office up against the wall
as far as deadlines.
And as you all know, we are all still stretched
and staffing and the nomination period
also does open in July.
So, we have other things going on in the office at that time
and introducing special meetings during that time
when your calendar year has ended.
But starting election work for ballot measures
also pushes us up against a tight wall
because we still have other things going on in the office
once you all's recess starts.
Council Member Brown.
Excellent, thank you.
Not to make things complicated,
I just wanted to inquire of the possibility
of rescheduling this item to rules,
and then we do our due diligence
and get our questions to you,
and then we can determine if it could go
to the full council meeting on the 16th.
So could we just reschedule this in rules
for the 11th, continue the item to the 11th,
and then kind of based on some of the questions
that were asked, whether it be a list
of all of the community organizations you've engaged,
like the work that you said, that is yours, right?
And then that could be the report back.
And then from there, we could forward it
to the June 16th city council meeting.
How does that sound?
Is that procedurally?
Are you amenable to that?
I, yeah, I'm amenable to that.
Okay, so we'll make a motion to,
so I'll, we, so I'll withdraw my motion.
Are you okay with that, Council Member Fife?
And then I'll motion to continue this item
to the next rules.
Well, June the 11th.
June the 11th rules.
And I'll second it if that's open.
And to be clear, is this also with the amendments
We'll bring those back on the 11th as well,
the amendments that were handed out on the dais.
Yes.
Okay, so that was a motion by Councilmember Jenkins,
seconded by Councilmember Brown to continue item number five
with the provided amendments
to the Rules Committee on June 11th on roll.
Councilmember Brown?
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Ramachandra.
Aye.
And Chair Jenkins.
Aye.
Item number five will be continued
to the June 11th rules as amended,
and that now takes us.
Councilmember Fife.
President Jenkins, there were a number of our colleagues
that wanted to have further dialogue about this item.
I'm not sure who the Brown acted group
with the council member are,
so if we could clarify that, it would be really helpful.
So, how about we allow you and Council Member Brown
to have your questions asked?
Oh, Council Member Brown confirmed, no.
I'll exclude myself, thank you.
So, yourself and me.
As a part of the team that can ask
Council Member Wong questions?
Yes.
I will ask through the Chair, Council Member Ramachandran,
did you also have questions?
I don't wanna be a...
over the last two weeks.
I think we've spoken to you prior to this.
So how about, maybe after this meeting council member,
I don't want to put council member Wong on the spot.
She can tell us who her council members are.
Okay, all right, next item.
S6. Amending And Reenacting Oakland Municipal Code Chapter 3.08
Moving to item number S-6,
adopt an ordinance amending the reenacting
Oakland Municipal Code Charter 3.08
to remove section 3.08.240 ballot title
to clarify and remove unnecessary requirements
for the city sponsored ballot measure.
A amend section to clarify requirements
regarding nomination petition,
and amend the section to clarify
to declaration of candidacy forms,
and add section 3.08.08.5
to clarify requirements for the ballot designation.
I have two speakers for this item.
Dr. Reed, City Clerk, and Clerk of the Council, before you, oh, I'm sorry, you need an urgency.
We do.
Apologies.
Thank you, Clerk Reed.
That's why you're, the Clerk Reed.
We do need an urgency finding on the record for this item.
A motion?
Or?
This item was added at the supplemental portion for the agenda, for the Rules Agenda.
The urgency is it needs to be heard and completed before the start of the nomination.
the city's approval of the
before it goes to the council before you is an ordinance the ordinance proposes
to amend the city's municipal election procedures to excuse me to promote
clear election administration and reduce unnecessary costs and administrative
burdens this ordinance deletes open municipal code section three point zero
eight point two four zero which requires a ballot title and summary I'm sorry
which which requires a ballot and title for the City Council originated ballot
measures OMC section three point zero eight point two four zero is duplicative
of impartial legal analysis requirements already required for the ballot measures
it is not necessary under state law this ordinance would also amend language in
section three point zero eight point zero four zero to update requirements for
Denomination petitions and amend section three point zero eight point zero eight zero to clarify requirements for declaration of candidates
candidacy forms
Consistent with uniform materials under state law and finally the ordinance would add section three point zero eight point zero eight five
To clarify local requirements for ballot designations
additionally, I'm
Asking you all to approve a simple amendment which in section two
underlines
20 as it was accidentally left off in the
Ordinance and I'm available for questions and for questions. I cannot answer the city attorneys available to assist
Thank you. Any questions
Any comments the public yes, I have two speakers a Blair Beekman and Kevin dally I see Blair you are unmuted you may begin
Hi, where big been?
As this will be affecting the upcoming November election, I hope that it is, it sounds like
it's just serving procedural matters, basic procedural needs and matters that I hope,
you know, that can be a good goal and process.
I'm really questioning some of the ballot measures that will be on in November and I
hope these amendments are not simply to serve those items coming up on the
November agenda that I think or November ballots that I think are questionable
and I hope this is an impartial process going on right now. Thank you. Thank you
for that and that concludes all of those speakers names who I've called whose
hands was right in the queue. I have a motion. So moved. Second. As amended. Thank you for
that and that was a motion by Councilmember Fyfe, seconded by Councilmember
Ramachandran to approve item S6 as amended and also noting the urgency
finding that was approved on record on roll. Councilmember Brown? Aye. Aye. Aye.
Thank you so much.
And chair Jenkins.
Aye.
And noting this was approved before eyes as amended to go to the June 2nd City Council
agenda on consent.
That now takes us to open forum.
We have Kevin Dally, Blair Beekman, and Rashmi Naman Dall in any order if you're participating
here in person please approach the podium and then I will take those who signed up online
after.
Thank you so much.
I wanted to uh, show my support for the proposed mid-cycle CIPRA staffing adjustments.
There's a growing narrative that any vacancy freeze within civilian oversight somehow threatens
Oakland's NSA compliance, but the federal court record simply does not support that
claim.
Oakland is now closer than ever to exiting federal oversight after more than 20 years
because of improvements within OPD leadership, internal affairs, discipline systems, and
city administration.
At the same time, SIPRA leadership has publicly acknowledged ongoing infrastructure problems
involving reporting systems, procedures, and operational development.
The city auditor also identified governance and accountability concerns within the oversight
structure itself.
So the question before council is not whether oversight matters, it absolutely does.
The question is whether Oakland should continue expanding bureaucracy before foundational systems
are fully stabilized.
The current proposal primarily freezes vacant positions
while preserving core investigative functions.
Thank you for your comments.
We will now move to our Zoom speakers.
Blair Beekman, you are unmuted, you may begin.
Hi, thank you, Blair Beekman.
We're going through some difficult times
in San Diego right now, budget issues and such.
I'm speaking at public comment times,
the importance of the work you do in Oakland.
keep it up and I hope you can have good conversations about social services before austerity.
And that's vitally important and thank you that you do that so well here in Oakland.
I wanted to mention there's ideas of T1 spending, I think it's called, for the NN items.
I'm understanding that T1 items are actually,
has a tendency to be difficult to really,
there's always, there's not a lot of success in T1.
So making that budget accountable process can be difficult.
Thank you that you're gonna have budget issues on NN this June.
That's really thinking forward.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for your comments.
And that was the last speaker
who has their hand raised in the queue.
Thank you, this meeting is adjourned.
