I have Rajni Mandog, good morning, and Blair Beakman, and any who, thank you.
Hi Rajni Mandel district for I understand the police commission selection panel is expected to submit its recommended slate to counsel soon as
Council reviews those appointments. I urge you to evaluate not only the qualifications of the candidates
But also the Commission's record over the past several years because one of the recommended candidates is the current chair
This is also a decision about whether the Commission's current direction should continue as
As Oakland prepares to exit more than two decades
of federal oversight, the city needs a commission
focused on governance, accountability, and oversight.
Yet the commission has too often failed
to provide meaningful oversight of SIPRA and OIG,
overlooked governance and transparency issues,
and devoted significant time to matters outside
its statutory responsibilities.
A vote for the current chair is a vote
to continue that approach.
I encourage council to evaluate candidates based not only
on what they promise, but on their actual record
And I think that's what we'd like to hear from you.
And that's your leadership, judgment, and performance.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comments.
Our next speaker was Blair Beekman.
However, I do not see him here in the queue unless he's in person.
That completes short speakers for item number two.
We need a motion.

of the city of Oakland 2627 tax and revenue anticipation notes and the amount not to exceed

purchase agreements related to this to such notes and authorizing other
actions in connection therewith. We request this item to be scheduled to the
July 7th City Council meeting on the non-consent calendar by rule 24 because
the resolution authorizes action related to the sale of the tax and revenue
anticipation notes and approves the preliminary official statement of the
notes the preliminary official statement is included in the agenda materials the
official statement is the preliminary disclosure documents for investors in
the notes and the preliminary official statement will be circulated to
potential investor prior to the pricing of the notes the distribution of the
preliminary official statement by the city is subject to federal security
laws these laws required the official statement to be include to include all
current facts that would be material to investors. By bypassing committee, we
will allow the financing team including city staff to incorporate the most
current information in the preliminary official statement before the print
deadline for the July 7th City Council meeting. Also, this will allow the notes
to close and meet CalPERS deadline of July 31st for the prepayment of the

Let's go to the public speakers
Thank you as I call your name, please approach the podium if you're here in person
Please state your name for the record if you're participating online, please raise your hand so I can easily identify you
We will take those in person first and followed by those who are participating online
I have Rajni Mandal, Kevin Dalley, Blair Beekman and I'm not sure what the name is.
The police commission is what I can...
Looks like Twan.
Oh, Twan.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yes.
In New York, good morning.
Good morning.
Rajni Mandal, District 4.
I have concerns about placing quarterly reports on the IAB to CIPRA transfer on future council
agendas because the reports focus on implementation rather than readiness.
The city administrator can report on timelines, meetings, and planning, but cannot direct
SIPRA, evaluate the SIPRA director, establish operating procedures, or require the police
commission to fulfill its oversight responsibilities.
In fact, the city administrator previously paused the transfer because SIPRA was not
ready.
Under Oakland's charter, responsibility for overseeing, directing, and evaluating SIPRA
rests with the police commission.
Nearly 10 years after SIPRA was created, audits and independent reviews continue to identify
many of the same deficiencies and lack of policies, training, and reporting systems.
If those governance issues remain unresolved, quarterly implementation reports will not
solve them.
I encourage Council to ensure this agenda item clearly reflects the Commission's responsibility
for SIPRA readiness, rather than creating the impression that the city administrator
can resolve issues that the charter assigns
to the police commission.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
Next speaker, Twam.
I attended the last police commission selection panel
advisory meeting, and they had put forth,
yet again, for the third time Ricardo Garcia Acosta
to the full council for approval.
And once again, I just like to raise their community's
concern around the need for both oversight of police and balancing it
with public safety under Acosta who is if he's reappointed by you guys he's
going to be the president of the chairman of the police commission and
under his tenure we had five police chiefs in six six police chiefs in five
years we need stability the top he also needs to work with all stakeholders and
And I didn't see that at the federal court hearing
with the federal monitor.
He wanted the same oversight power as the federal monitor.
And that was in direct contrast
to what the mayor who was there wanted,
what the city attorney wanted,
what several members of the city council did not voice that.
Michelle Phillips didn't want that.
The judge ignored him.
He's not able to work with stakeholders
to move the interest of the city forward
to get out from federal oversight.
Moreover, depending on who talks to him,
he gives different stories.
We need somebody that's transparent,
that's trustworthy, that has true leadership,
and there's a retired judge, Judge Grillo,
that seems to be fair, balanced, and can follow policy.
He wanted to move internal affairs from OPD to SIPRA,
but SIPRA has ongoing concerns about reporting,
transparency, policy procedures and guidelines,
In my opinion is one of the
biggest cases.
Being able to fill investigative
positions all these horrible
investigative major severe
concerns.
We need strong leadership a
change in elk Oakland and public
safety to buy.
To be prioritized thanks.
Thank you for your comments our
last two speakers were Kevin
Dali and Blair Beagman I don't
see their name in the queue that

Michael Wimsatt district to counsel. I'm here to request that this item be continued to the June 25th rules committee hearing
I just had a quick question through the chair to the city attorney's office

What they have to do as well because even though this might not pose an issue
In terms of the drop-dead deadline in terms of work product and capacity it can have impact
So I would just encourage the councilmember to speak with them. Thank you
Thank you, is there anybody here to speak on this
Alright well, let's start there let's the public speakers for this item
Stacy
Mandu Kevin dally Derek Barnes
Charlie Charlie Eddie and
Cristina Lamas in any order if you're here in person
Please approach the podium and state your name for the record if you're participating online, please raise your hand. Thank you so much
Adeline Stacy
We should definitely raise revenue by closing the real estate
Transfer tax loophole that benefits financial institutions like BlackRock
So yes to taxing big real estate and we should allocate some of that money to more dignified and accessible shelter options
But we should not tie service delivery to the use of cops and bulldozers to destroy communities
So while I think it's great to give that money to allocate it to interim housing and supporting homelessness services
money should not go to encampment closure operations as a stated in the
language. Encampment closure operations a.k.a forced evictions a.k.a sweeps.
Sweeps worsen health and housing outcomes. We just had the EAP go into effect.
We I know I'm aware that
sweeps are not able to run 40 hours a week Monday through Friday and we don't need them to.
We don't need more money for more sweeps. We don't need to do this 52 weeks out of the year.
People just continue to get displaced, people are harmed, truly this is harm, sweeps, harm people, they are sweeps.
You're literally sweeping people from where they're living into the corners.
We just had the P.I.T. and everyone's patting theirselves in the back for an approximately reduction of about a thousand less-sided unhoused.
But the reality of that is with sweeping, just like when you sweep in your house,
If you're not careful or don't have a backup vacuum or whatnot like dust and debris goes into the small corners
so people have been swept into the far corners and underneath the bed so to speak and so we can't get a good count of
Them and then not hyperbole fact reality people die from sweeps. We've had lots of people die from sweeps
They have been effective so we don't need more money for them
Thank you for your comments next speaker if you signed up to speak for item s6
This is your opportunity, please approach the podium or raise your hand in the queue, okay?
I will now go to those who are participating in a line. I see Kevin Dally you are muted you may begin
Hi, this Kevin Dally. I definitely like the idea of the tax. I have two concerns
one is that
The money would be going to the general fund so even though there's a description of where
The money is desired to go to there's no requirement for the money to go there. I suggest that that language be removed.
The council has a history of granting exemptions to requirements for other resolutions sugar free beverage tax or requirement to fund police, depending upon a certain number of police be hired.
I think that having a suggestion in the resolution is a bad idea because there's no longer trust
the council will insist that the money be spent as suggested. Second, there's already
one really big tax, an important tax on the November ballot at sea transit tax. Will there
I think it would be a risk if we have multiple taxes on the ballot at the same time of risking
that any of the taxes be passed.
I think that's a tough call, but I'd like the Council members to think about that.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
I do see one hand raised just to verify.
Good morning.
Did you sign up to speak for item S-6, and if so, what name did you sign up under?
Hi, Madam Clerk, it's Derek Barnes.
I'm sorry. Derek Barnes?
Yeah.
Yes, you may begin. Thank you so much.
Great. Thank you. Good morning, council members. Derek Barnes with Evra.
I want to first commend Council Member Long for advancing this important conversation.
The proposal asks a reasonable question. When distressed properties change hands
through foreclosure, should those transactions contribute to addressing the public challenges
that often accompany neighborhood disinvestment in housing instability?
I think the answer can be yes. However, I would encourage the Council to think beyond revenue
generation and ask a second question. How would we turn foreclosure into neighborhood recovery?
The staff report estimates the measure may generate roughly $400,000 to a million dollars
annually. That level of revenue alone cannot solve homelessness, as we know, nor will it
fundamentally change neighborhood conditions. We shouldn't tether these critical services to
lumpy revenue streams. It's just too inconsistent. But if we leverage it strategically, it could do
something even more powerful, but we got to make the juice worth the squeeze. Imagine using the
funds to help Oakland residents, community cooperatives, and small housing providers in
neighborhoods with small investors acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed small unit properties.
And imagine, you know, coupling tax policy with rehabilitation incentives,
revolving loan funds and community ownership opportunities that keep wealth and investment
local. I think we can make that a requirement. As part of this, if you want to go down this route,
the goal should not simply be, you know, to tax distressed properties. I think we can transform
distressed properties into cooperative living, housing and pathways to community ownership
to stabilize neighborhoods and I think that's the goal. I encourage the council to preserve
small owner occupants and hardship cases while exploring additional provisions and incentivize
local investment rehabilitation and long-term ownership. Thank you. Thank you for your comments.
All names have been called for item S-6. That concludes. I'll entertain a motion to
continue this item to next week's rules. So second and that was a motion by
council member five seconded by council member Brown to continue item s6 to the
June 25th Rules and Legislation Committee agenda on roll council member
Brown aye council member five aye council member Rama Chantin excuse and chair
Jenkins aye item number s6 will be continued to the June 25th Rules and
legislation committee agenda and our last item open forum I have Kevin Dali
Blair Beekman and Rajni Mandal in any order Rajni Mandal district 4 during
the budget debate we heard concerns that freezing vacant zipper positions
would undermine civilian oversight but the discussion revealed a deeper issue
to write director Lawson has said zipper has struggled to fill investigator
positions because the agency has historically relied on attorney
investigators and can no longer recruit attorneys at the current salary range.
But the posted investigator roles do not require a law degree and SIPRA already employs non-attorney
investigators.
Council President Jenkins suggested working with SIPRA to address these hiring challenges,
but under Oakland's charter, SIPRA is not overseen by counsel.
It is overseen by the police commission.
So if SIPRA has existed for nearly a decade, still struggles to fill positions it is already
funded for and appears to be recruiting for qualifications beyond what the job requires.
This is not simply a budget issue.
It is a governance and accountability issue within the civilian oversight structure itself.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
All names have been called.
That concludes our open forum speakers.
Thank you.
This meeting is adjourned.
