Alvina Wong as a member to the board of port and commissions and I have
No speakers for this item
All right. Can we hear from port mayor's office and the board commissioner?
Good afternoon. Good afternoon chair Jenkins council members Preston Gilbert W chief staff to mayor Barbara Lee
So I'm here to present on the reappointment of Alvina Wong to the port commission for reappointment
Alvina brings nearly two decades of experience
advancing social, environmental and economic justice
with a strong track record of building
multiracial coalitions and advocating
for equitable development, environmental justice,
housing and community centered policy solutions.
During Alvina's service on the court commission,
she has brought thoughtful leadership,
a collaborative approach and a deep commitment
to balancing economic opportunity with community
and environmental priorities.
The mayor continues to be confident
And I think that that will be an experience perspective and dedication to Oakland. We'll continue to be a valuable asset to the commission. We respectfully request your support for her.
Commissioner, did you want to say anything? Good morning, committee members. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you all and share more about my reappointment. As I was able to introduce myself more last year as the base building director of the Asian Pacific Environmental Network. A pin a proud district six resident and a member of D six community action.
The community action for resilience and equity D six care
Living a mile away from Coliseum of the 880 corridor
When I spoke last year
I really wanted to express to you all my values my experience and my commitments in
My environmental justice and community work thus far to gain your confidence in
Confirming my appointment to the board and I appreciate you all for advancing that confirmation in order to fulfill the last
Final year of former Commissioner you Haley's term. So today I'm back for
To ask for your confidence again for a full term on the Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners in this past year
I have been dedicated collaborative and inquisitive member of the Commission focused on really the prosperity and
Responsibilities of the port as well as participating in continuing its commitment and excellence in being a good community partner and economic
driver for Oakland and the region. Over the past year, I have engaged in many critical
real estate, airport, seaport related decisions that really center the possibilities of sustainable
growth, both in the economic and environmental sense. I've joined the audit committee as
well as airport and environmental ad hoc committees and have dove into this work, what I'd like
to say heart first. It's been quite a lot to pick up a year, within a year. And while
While I think my colleagues would agree that I've been able to keep up, a full term would
really allow me to continue supporting the Port's efforts in zero-admission transition,
maintaining and growing our airport and seaport opportunities, while also meaningfully choosing
real estate and contracting decisions that are exponentially beneficial for, and rooted
in, Oakland and beyond.
So I'm excited to continue my partnership with you all in the city.
I've had really great conversations and want to continue to make sure that what's happening on the port is
Coordinated and thoughtful to what is happening in the city and making sure that your concerns are also reflected in the ports conversations
And so I'm open and available for any other questions if you may have
And really want to continue looking forward to thought partnership and collaborative problem-solving with you all
So I'd be honored to have your continued support. Thanks. Thank you councilmember Brown
the board of directors. And I'm
and truck traffic through West Oakland and Chinatown.
And just your broad depth of knowledge
around environmental issues is so critical
to bring to the Port of Oakland.
And as I work through amortization of polluters
in my district and working on continuing to green
and clean the port, it's essential that you remain
in this space to bring your unique experience, your youth,
and just your expertise in very specific issues to this body.
councilmember Brown I thank you
for your support so I've been
happy to recommend your position
and I second this motion to make
sure that you stay in the place
that you're at and continue to
grow and learn for the port of
Oakland and for the city.
Thank you seems like we.

Yes, of course, through the chair,
just the urgency is that the upcoming deadline
to appear on the November balance is coming up.
And so hearing now and then scheduling for July 7th
is recommended in order to make that deadline.
Is there a presentation?
We do need a motion for the urgency finding
before we call the item into rest.
Sweet.
So moved seconded and there was a motion by council member five seconded by councilmember
Brown to approve the urgency finding on roll councilmember five a brown aye councilmember five aye
Ramachandran chair Jenkins. All right. I the urgency
Finding was approved with four eyes. I will now read the item into record
Adopt a resolution submitting to the voters at the November 3rd, 2026 general municipal election a measure to amend
OMC charter real property tax transfer tax to amend the exemption of foreclosures
transactions and an advisory measure of whether the increased revenue from the amending the city real property transfer tax
To include certain foreclosure transactions should be spent for the purposes of 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 the voters at the general municipal election and
Making appropriate CEQA findings. I have two speakers for this item
Yes
I'd like to make a motion to adjourn into a special
meeting of the council upon the presence of
Yes, council member Wong and Houston
Second there was a motion by council member five seconded by council member
Brown to adjourn in a special meeting at the with the presence of council member Wong and
Houston on roll council member Brown. I
I
Ramachandran. I and chair Jenkins. I and the
At 1043 this meeting is adjourned into a special meeting at the presence of council members
and I am complete. Councilman Moore. Okay all right first of all I want to thank
before we get into it I just want to thank the finance team specifically
Nicole Bradley, Carmen, Jose and Hui in terms of developing out the materials
that were that you're seeing today I also want to thank Malia at the city
attorney's office who worked with us to craft this measure through quite a few iterations.
And I also want to recognize since I provided a larger, a lengthier presentation last time
to my colleagues really explaining some of the impetus around this, there are a number
of questions last time that were really around the revenue, the potential for revenue from
this measure.
So this is really what today's presentation is aimed to answer.
I also want to note that today's measure is nearer than what I last presented.
I'll be, I'm requesting a motion to also forward this resolution to the full council as amended,
which includes the removal of the supplementary advisory measure, which I heard my colleague's feedback.
That means that no additional cost would be incurred from a second measure.
And that means there's no endorsement of some of what I discussed around shelters or encampment closures.
So this is now purely before you a revenue measure.
It closes a loophole on these foreclosure transactions.
It does not raise any tax rates,
and it simply closes an exception.
And an exception that is really
for primarily corporate capital.
That exception says that foreclosure transfers,
that foreclosure transfers
This particularly deed and loo transfers are exempt from paying the real estate transfer
tax that any other transfer would pay.
So your person that's just buying a home and they purchase a home, they are paying this
real estate transfer tax that these entities are not.
I would also argue that there's a case for urgency.
Foreclosures are currently surging.
There are signs of a recessionary environment, and we know that this will accelerate foreclosures
in the coming years, but that is anticipated to tail off, and the reason I do present it,
this before this body now, is if we do wait until 2028, we risk missing a window for this
cycle.
I also want to note that San Francisco is actually moving to act before this window
closes.
moving forward with the November ballot measure. And their estimate and this was done by their
comptroller's office is actually estimated to generate over $200 million in revenue over
the next three years. And in Oakland we do not have exactly the same real estate market
of course. We don't have as much commercial real estate in particular, but this shows
that there is real and significant money behind this concept.
I also want to speak directly to the informational packet
that you provided in the supplemental report.
It's really important to flag right off the bat
that this was what you see here and if you guys got some
of the materials, sorry, clerk, there's a spreadsheet,
an amendment as well as a spreadsheet.
So one of the staff reports included a basically a projection
that was based off of a limited sample through 2024 just February through July.
So it's a very limited data set.
There's an important gap that did not account for something called deed in lieu of transfer.
These are really actually the highest revenue generating transfers available.
And so my team throughout the last week actually worked to identify a set of these types of
deed-in-lieu foreclosure transfers.
These are basically, just to be clear, because we do not have the kind of data scrapers that
are available by the real estate industry.
So this is based off of essentially what is in just the headlines, okay, so what is in
posted in news articles, things like that.
So I want to just note in front of you, these are unedited Excel sheets provided straight
from Finance, we pulled out some of the top line numbers just to display above here on
the screen.
You can see, for example, in 2024, there were, again, four headline generating transfers.
What you see on the right side of the screen is essentially the tax revenue that could
have been generated, the low end to the high end.
So just taking 180 granted example on the low end, and Finance is happy to discuss their
methodology, $750,000 generated from that revenue,
but on the high end, $4.3 million.
So this is again just over the last two and a half years.
We identified 16 different transactions happening
over the last two and a half years.
And I think one thing that is really noteworthy is that if you
look at 2026 in particular, you can see that revenue is accelerating. This speaks to the
increases happening in foreclosures in this current year. This is just half a year alone.
This only reflects foreclosures that are happening through June of this year. What is not actually
included is the Clorox building that is currently, that made a recent headline that is also going
into foreclosure, and using just, this is the low end, the sample of these properties,
you can see that this goes in 2024, 5 million, 2025, 6 million. But in just half a year alone,
January through June, it could have been something as high as 16.49 million. I actually had another
slide, but it's not included in this particular presentation, so. But anyways, this matches
up what we're seeing in terms of the headlines. That we are seeing foreclosures at a six-year
high. This was noted by the Wall Street Journal. Other headlines that are more local that note
this rise in foreclosures and fire sales. There was just what happened in East Oakland,
office just went into foreclosure. I also want to just discuss some of the
amendments very quickly. So here are the amendments you guys have them before you.
So as I stated we're removing the advisory measure so it's just simplifying
what was presented last time and I want to thank colleagues for the feedback.
Second, I do want to add affordable housing conversion and an exemption I had
noted last time that because we're seeing all these, especially in the downtown core,
right, people are not returning to the office, and so we're seeing a lot of these major commercial
buildings going to foreclosure. So part of what we're doing with this tax policy is to try to
incentivize conversion into other uses that would actually be beneficial to Oakland. So
there was interim shelter, permanent supportive housing, health care, as well as we're just
is adding affordable housing as an exemption
based off some feedback from some discussions
with stakeholders, and so if you get a foreclosure transfer,
just explain it, and you turn it to affordable housing,
this would not apply to that specific transfer.
The third thing is we're giving city council
the authority to establish future exemptions by ordinance.
That way, if there are other types of exemptions
that we identify as a body,
we don't have to restart the ballot measure process.
We can do this just by ordinance.
Fourth, this was just an advice from the city attorney's office.
We are going to be moving to exempt all community banks, not just California-based ones.
This was based off of some law that's on the books that, Malia, thank you for identifying
that.
And the fifth thing is that the measure is going to, it just adds a line that this measure
determines the value of consideration at fair market value.
And this is drawing directly from San Francisco's structure and their own measure that they
adopted, which I do want to note that the measure adopted by San Francisco was broadly
supported by both moderate and progressive supervisors in San Francisco.
Okay.
And with that, I'll turn it over to any questions you have for myself or to the staff members
who helped develop this proposal.
Thank you, partner.
Let's go to public speakers.
Thank you for that.
And as I call your name if you're here in chambers please approach the podium if you're
participating online please raise your hand if you signed up for item S6.
I have Robert Apotica and Dan Cobb.
We will take those who are participating in person first and then following that we will
take those who are online so again if you can sign up for item S6.
Good morning committee members my name is Robert Joe Apodaca.
I've been a resident of Oakland for the last 40 years and started speaking here in 1975
when the community development walk grant was the big issue and there was no room in
the council to address those issues.
At that time I was chairman of the Fruitvale Community Development District Council.
I have quite a bit of experience in housing and housing related issues both as an operator
and it's a builder and also providing finance.
Just briefly, I started my first student housing program
in Berkeley in 1970, and that operation,
that's for ethnic minorities,
is still in operation after 56 years,
and it's a nonprofit organization
now owned by the Green Lining Institute.
Subsequent to that, I was part of it,
I founded a nonprofit and wanted to prove a concept
that poor people can be homeowners.
So in Fresno County, we built 10 townhomes and sold them to families who were earning
less than 30% of AMI.
And nobody had defaulted during that time.
One home has been sold, and all those families have a lot of equity.
Lastly, I was part of McLaren-Bosse's Emsick, an architect here in town that did its first
project, Durant Square, signature properties, was the owner, is the owner.
Subsequent to that we designed the Fruitvale Transit Village and then across the street from here a couple of blocks from here
the firm did
uptown apartments
So I know something about housing and financing
Homelessness
The number one priority in the state. I know it changes from time to time
It's a number high priority here in Oakland. And what I do know is that over the past
Ten fifteen years the state has spent over thirty seven. I
Apologize Robert your time is up. Thank you so much for your comments
Thank you. Thank you so much. I will now call those who are participating online zoom speakers. I have Dan Cobb one moment
If the clerk can unmute Dan Cobb
There we go. Dan you are immunity may
begin. Thank you so much. Good to see you all. Good to see you all. I just wanted to express my
thanks to Councilmember Wong for putting this forward. We passed Measure X back in 2018
to create a progressive real estate transfer tax and this kind of in summary specs closes a loophole
in that. And within the limits of state law this provides more opportunity to bring some more
revenue in and make sure the transfer tax that already exists in local law applies to these
additional transactions within the confines of state law. So I urge support for this. I would
look forward to voting in favor of this when it's on the ballot in November. And I urge the
Council that rules committee of the council to put this on the ballot so the voters can decide and I think this is a smart measure
And I ask for your support. Thank you. Thank you so much for your comments. That concludes our speakers fired and as
colleagues
Excellent. I can go ahead and get started
Thank you so much council member along for your work on this item
And also calling attention to what San Francisco is doing as well. I was reading the article really quickly
So thanks for highlighting that as well.
I'm one of the questions that I did have the opportunity
to ask you during our one-on-one
where you were explaining this a little bit further
and I was kind of continuing
to do a little bit more research on this
and just hoping you can answer this question
because I guess I'm thinking about larger apartment buildings
and really wanting to ensure that we're protecting renters
from any undue costs and even just building maintenance.
And so I guess this larger question that I have is,
have you been able to identify or call out
any like domino impacts of this kind of foreclosure tax
that would go to a new owner of a larger apartment building?
Whether it be, since they're gonna be kind of eating up
that costs, will that trickle to the renter in some way?
What will happen to maybe if the building needs maintenance?
And yeah, I just wanted to see if you were able
to get any feedback on,
and I think I even asked this question to you when we met.
Just curious if you had any more additional insights on that.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I just, in the development of this policy,
did consult individuals in both the housing action coalition
with group as well as the Turner Center,
as well as the various YIMBY groups
that we all know about, including East Bay for everyone.
And essentially, when it comes to the question, which
is a really great question, I want
to flag that in terms of whether those costs could be passed
down to renters because, essentially, this cost in terms of the transfer tax would ultimately
be borne on the acquiring entity, right, not the entity that's going into foreclosure.
This is how this will actually protect people that are the tenants from going into foreclosure.
And I would argue this, too, because what is happening with foreclosures is that right
Right now, since this is a loophole, there's actually no disincentive for the banks to
pursue a short sale or to prevent a foreclosure from happening in the first place.
There's no tax friction.
So when that happens, actually people are more likely, the tenants are more likely to
get evicted, if that makes sense, in the case of a foreclosure.
And so one could argue that actually by applying this policy, we're actually creating some
friction that can hopefully create.
It's not gonna solve.
I don't wanna pretend like it's suddenly gonna
prevent evictions, but that it'll create some
disincentives from pursuing the foreclosure
in the first place from the bank's perspective.
Excellent, thank you so much for that.
And I also know that the report states
that the council may by ordinance establish
other exemptions to the tax imposed by this chapter.
What other exemptions would council want to establish?
I'll give an example, one thing that we've heard feedback from is that there are for
example like nonprofits that want to acquire for example like a foreclosed home or a small
foreclosed multi-family unit property and actually turn it into affordable housing and
so it's these things that I think I have added that amendment that way we can consider as
as a body, other examples of where we actually,
this is an opportunity to create tax equity
and actually ensure that some of the entities
we wanna actually ensure have a tax benefit
compared to say, maybe a corporate entity
that we can add those in as a body.
Thank you.
I'm just sorry, just to close off my comment.
I've heard about, for example,
creating community land trust, things like that,
So all of that I think are items or things
that we should consider to add in as exceptions.
Councilmember Ramachandri.
Thank you.
I think the intention is good
and something that obviously I would wanna support
in theory when it comes to getting more revenue
for the city and closing loopholes.
But I think this presents too many loopholes
the way it's presented right now,
that I don't really have confidence
that the banks that were able to get this exemption
in the first place and other predatory lenders
would not be able to use one of these exemptions.
So can you explain the history of why
the foreclosure exemption has the RITT,
the foreclosure situation has an RITT exemption
in the first place and when that happened?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Does anyone from finance have that history?
I actually don't have that history.
Go ahead, Malia.
Malia McPherson with the city attorney's office.
I think your question is on the legislative history
of the city's R-E-T-T, is that correct?
And the foreclosure exemption that's here.
This exemption that currently exists has been there
for as long as I can tell it wasn't recently added,
it wasn't addressed with the Measure X amendments,
it mirrors the exemption under the state
documentary transfer tax, but is not identical
in the same way that other local jurisdictions
have an identical exemption for foreclosures
that mirrors state law.
As you'll see with San Francisco's proposal,
Anna has been clarified with recent case law
on Charter City's ability to have different
transfer tax compared to state law.
we are not bound to follow state law
when it comes to foreclosure exemptions.
Thank you.
I mean, I'm really wondering from the author who wrote this,
how are, you know, why did this first come into effect
in Oakland, not the state?
And why are you, why do you think that this is gonna be
any different?
I mean, anyone can call themselves a community bank,
unless you're specifically listing a public bank,
which is different, affordable housing,
any bank can come in and say that
they wanna build affordable housing
and then switch it up.
What are the guarantees that this won't happen again?
And that's why I'm asking about the history.
Which as the author, I would anticipate you'd know.
On the banks, there's actually a specific definition
set at federal law that caps,
like to be defined as a community bank,
you need to actually have assets
under a certain dollar amount.
You can't, like, for example, Chase or Goldman Sachs or any of these kind of large institutions
could not just decide to define themselves as a community bank.
There's an actual definition, I don't know if, Malia, you're able to comment on that,
but I think, I wouldn't need to double-check my notes, but I think this was established
under Dodd-Frank that there's a specific definition of community bank that must be used.
You can't just say I'm a community bank.
What about affordable housing, the second part of my question through the chair.
Any of those same traces, Bank of America's et cetera, could say they're building affordable
housing and they're not actually fall through to get this exemption.
So once again, you're creating more loopholes and the banks are never going to pay.
So what are the protections for that?
So the way that the transfer tax is currently structured is actually the, you get a refund
after the fact and you would need to provide evidence and I mean there are
strict AMI rules right in terms of affordable housing you can't just say
you know I'm building affordable housing you have to provide evidence that you're
meeting the AMI requirements that define you know need like means tested
affordable housing and if I would actually invite my colleague because
we're adding this language around exemptions if this is something
important to you which I agree with that we need to close these loopholes, that I'm
happy to work with you to really put in language. This is the reason actually why
I wanted that ordinance to add to make it broadly speaking because I recognize
that some of this is happening. We came across this loophole later in this year
that I'd like that I'd like to have and so I wanted to ensure this language would
be added, that way we as a body could really figure out as a collective in removing as
many loopholes as possible since I agree that is a risk.
I also think it's not a reason not to pursue the closing what we know to be in place, right,
when we can just continue to refine and add even more language to truly seal off loopholes
in ways that corporate entities seek
and are able to escape our tax system.
Thank you through the chair.
That didn't answer my question.
I appreciate the invitation to work on this,
but we are at the 11th hour before the meetings in July,
which, if this was to go through, this would need to pass.
So can you explain to me what's currently here
in the legislation that would prevent a bank
from stating they're gonna create,
build affordable housing, and not build it.
And again, I would also like the definition
of a community bank.
Sure, absolutely.
Malia, are you able to comment on the definition
of a community bank, and then perhaps someone
from the finance team, since we have existing exemptions
for low-income households, different things like that
in our existing tax structure, how is finance able
To validate those things as it currently stands.
Malay McPherson with the city attorney's office.
I'm happy to comment on the definition
as it's been provided in the legislation.
I do want to note that the policy directives
in terms of the scope of this legislation
has been set by the council member's office.
So it is not our office that has been recommending
certain exemptions here.
The community banking organization is as defined
by the Federal Reserve, and as the council member noted,
that current definition has an organization
that has a total consolidated assets
of less than $10 billion, and under the draft legislation,
the transferee to qualify for this exemption
would have to provide a sworn certification
for that qualification.
Similarly, for the affordable housing exemption,
as drafted, the transferee would have 36 months
from the date of recordation of the transfer
to submit a refund supported by documentation
of the affordable housing use.
Thank you.
So to clarify, you would submit a refund for,
you'd pay the R-E-T-T and then you'd get a refund
if you actually build affordable housing in three years?
Yeah, and that was, we did that on advisement from finance.
They said that this would be most administratively simple
for them to do.
So that is the reason that we've built it in
in that particular structure.
Thank you.
I have reservations on this community bank.
I mean, a $10 billion company is pretty big.
And even if it excludes our conventional big banks,
that leaves a lot of room for predatory lenders,
foreign entities, et cetera,
to come in and not pay the tax again.
I imagine there are quite a few subsidiaries
of some of these big banks
that would qualify under that as well.
So, I'm deeply uncomfortable with that
and if I were to support, consider supporting this,
that would definitely be something
that I would need redefined in this legislation.
Sure, absolutely. I do want to comment just not for not. I'm not complete. Okay. Sure the chair. Go ahead
and so the next issue that I have here is
the numbers
Again, I know that 2026 saw more foreclosures, but in the city administrators report
The estimate for the amount of money that the city would bring in is notably less in the on a review of 30 transactions
The annual revenue is estimated to range from
400,000 to a million depending on the transfer type of timing, but what you showed was a
much higher numbers
Again, obviously I'd welcome any money coming to the city
But 400,000 to a million is very different from the multi-million dollar proposals. You said so why the difference?
Yeah, I'm happy to answer those questions, and they're all excellent.
So first of all, on the bank size, I know 10 billion sounds like a lot, just so everyone
is aware, in terms of how the Federal Reserve actually defines different bank size.
Under $10 billion is a community bank, 10 billion to 500 billion is actually regional
and mid-sized banks, and above $500 billion are large and global financial institutions.
So to give a sense of the total asset size of some of the largest banks, J.P.
Morgan Chase has $3.64 trillion in assets.
This is why $10 billion is actually a community bank.
Bank of America has $2.6 trillion, Citibank, $1.7 trillion, Wells Fargo, $1.7 trillion.
So that's the scale that we're looking at when it comes to large banks and why it's
important, especially because community banks are actually those that are most likely to
to provide a loan opportunities to those
who have maybe lower credit scores, things like this.
This is why I thought it was important
to have that carve out.
But we're happy to, you know, we can also,
I'm open to removing that exemption
and having a longer discussion around that,
if that is important.
The other thing, just to note on the revenue side of things,
and if anyone from finance wants to come up,
but what we had discussed and what we've clarified
that those finance estimates excluded something called deed
in lieu of foreclosure.
So it is the deed in lieu of foreclosure transactions
that actually stand to generate the most revenue.
And so we had clarified that with finance.
That's why you see that those low projections,
those are merely just the foreclosures,
like pure foreclosures.
A deed in lieu of foreclosure, just to explain what
What that means is somebody is transferring the note sale without technically going to
foreclosures.
That was not understood by finance at the time that they provided that $400,000 to $600,000
annual revenue estimate.
So then we provided finance those 16 examples, again, that we just saw through headlines.
So if anything, it understates, in my opinion.
Anyways, I don't want to, again, I would prefer to have a more conservative estimate.
So what we identified is 16 different transactions that occurred over the last two and a half
years.
And that's where you see the larger amounts.
And yeah.
Thank you.
So that again, I am very concerned, I specifically in my comments through the chair mentioned
that I know this $10 billion would exclude the big, the big, big banks obviously.
but that doesn't mean that those medium-sized ones
aren't any less predatory.
So that would be a major issue for me
wanting that exemption.
And again, since your legislation is proposing
that council can give additional exemptions,
if there's situations that come up at the time,
so be it, but that is something
I'm definitely concerned about.
I'll reserve the rest of my questions
for the next council meeting.
Thank you.
All right, if there's no other further comment, I think at this time, I would make a motion
to move this to the full body so that the full body can weigh in.
Is there a second?
I guess I will second.
All right, there was a motion by Councilmember Brown, seconded by Council President Xi.
I'll ask one more clarifying question if I can do that, one more thing.
So now that the complementary advisory resolution isn't there anymore, the money would go to
the general fund to clarify with the?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was, my intention with that is we could then as a body again decided through a budget
resolution then how the general funds would get spent.
I heard the feedback from everybody, which last time, which there was clearly concern
with adding a second advisory measure, took that into consideration.
and I thought that actually made sense
that would be an expensive measure to put on
that would be ultimately non-binding.
So it would go into the general fund.
And Mollie, if you wanna add to that.
Through the chair, nothing to add on that.
Because the amendments were not read into the floor,
I do wanna make sure that there's clarity
on what's gonna be amended
and if the motion could just include direction
from this body for the city attorney's office
to incorporate these edits when it goes to the full council.
So my understanding is the amendments are
to add affordable housing to subsection F1,
to delete the headquartered requirement in subsection F2,
to modify the exemption in subsection F4
such that that exemption is replaced
by City Council authority to add other exemptions,
and then to add catch-all language
that would amend the value of consideration
for these foreclosure-related transactions
to be based on the fair market value
for administrative clarity and off of SS.
Finally, given that the scope of this legislation
has changed significantly since it was introduced,
My recommendation is that the body allow our office
to reformat and revise the legislation
so that whatever goes to the full council is just clean.
We're gonna have one day to get a final ballot measure
if this goes to the seventh.
And right now it has two measures on it.
We need to have clean legislation on the seventh.
Councilmember Maturandria.
Thank you.
I don't feel comfortable.
I've been trying to sift through all of the attachments
And apart from the PowerPoint,
I don't see the amendments in writing.
And I would prefer to hold this in committee to next week
so we can see the amendments in writing
and then vote on it in the actual language.
To the maker of the motion, are you amenable to that?
Just a couple points of clarification.
I feel like there's a lot going on
and I was willing to accept with the amendments,
but I also hear what Council Member Ramachandran
is articulating.
And so I just want to, I guess through the chair
to the city attorney, do we have enough,
like do we have enough time to make these needed changes?
And if holding in committee is what would be recommended?
So through the chair, what I heard there was a proposal
to hold this in committee until next rules committee,
which would be July 2nd.
So whether this is forwarded today or on July 2nd,
It could go to the July 7th council meeting either way.
There's no council meeting before July 7th.
So in either case,
it could be forwarded to the July 7th council meeting.
Okay, excellent.
And so through the chair to council member Amachandran,
is that your preference?
Yes.
Okay, so that I'll amend my motion.
So in all transparency,
I don't necessarily wanna hear this again.
I tell council member Wong
that I would support it coming out of rules,
but most likely I'm not gonna support it
when it comes to full counsel.
So if we hear this in this body again,
are people going to support it coming out of rules?
If not, we should just put it on the pending list
and move forward.
I support it.
My original motion was to move it to the full body.
So I just want to, I think that's clear.
That's right.
So, but I'm also just trying to also honor
what my colleague wants as well.
Thank you, and through the, just to explain,
I hear you, Council President.
I just, I've been looking through each of the attachments
and I don't see the amendments.
I know we just heard it verbally,
but I'm a visual person.
So I mean, if we're putting, this is a complicated issue.
And if voters need to be clear about what's going forward,
I need to be clear what we're passing.
So I cannot, I don't know how I would vote next week,
seeing everything clearly laid out in writing
rather than the verbal presentation
and then the quick PowerPoint.
So it's, I don't, I can't say how I would vote next week,
but once I see it all in writing,
but I'm a visual person and I think voters are as well.
If I'm doing my due diligence to really vet proposals,
I would need to see it in writing,
if that is an option to move it to next week.
And if not, I respect that.
My colleagues is wishing.
that's fine and so councilmember brown accepts. Not amendment but you're gonna change your

administrative leave on July 15 2026
Confirm of the interim interim city administrator at the July 7 city council agenda
Meeting is necessary to avoid any gaps in
executive leadership and operational authority
Council member Machandra. Thank you. I would like to hold this in committee for one more week for on the scheduling list
any
objections be held in committee
Councilmember fife I would like to hear what the time
Considerations are for our bond market considerations. That was what was presented to me as the need to expedite this item
So if that could be articulated, so I have a better understanding
That would be helpful Bradley
Thank You council president the council president councilmember five in order to
Interact with the bond market and we are in the market for a transaction for your temporary revenue
Anticipation notes to pre fund our CalPERS liability and provide ongoing cash flow needs with the CalPERS
I am looking for gross savings about five and a half million dollars over the course of the coming fiscal year.
We do need to have an interim or permanent city administrator appointed to sign documents,
including your preliminary official statement on the 8th of July.
Your official statement documents on the 15th and
16th and your closing documents roughly around the 28th of July.
through all of those documents will require a interim or permanent administrator confirmed
by this body in order for us to sign off on those otherwise we cannot access the market
in that process.
So if we move forward with this action today for an interim what is the proposed time well
maybe through the chair I don't know if this is a conversation for the mayor's office what
And it's what it's about is the
proposed timeline for the
interim status.
Because it's my understanding
that we're doing a nationwide
search for a permanent.
I will defer to the mayor's
office and answer that question.
Good afternoon.
Good morning, council.
Councilmember Pipes, your
question, the intent is to
appoint Betsy Lake to interim
for a six-month window.
Does that align with the search
this is it happening concurrently is that happening
concurrently. Yeah, the mayor is in touch with the with HR to
explore looking at search firms. One of the things that's in the
resolution and and I'll let City Attorney Richardson weigh in on
this is it is a interval appointment for six months.
However, that does not preclude the mayor from appointing someone
in that window. If someone is identified understood, thank
you. Thank you. So I I just want to say
have nothing to do with one
another- council's ability to
confirm- city administration
should have nothing to do with
the bond market.
Just want to state that
publicly and I'm in agreement
with councilmember ramachandran
and holding this until next
week.
If Bradley's timeline is right
we have another rules before the
July seventh council meeting.
What's that urgent so through
the chair just to note that
this is being proposed for July
seventh you could hold it.
In committee but- then at that
make it to the July 7th meeting would require
an urgency finding to place it on the supplemental agenda.
Council Member Fyfe.
Any special meetings that might be necessary?
I hope not.
Because I will not be there.
Me neither.
Okay.
I do wanna state that it sounded like
what we heard from our finance director
is that these two things are connected.
And so, just to get ultimate clarity from Director Johnson,
we need, is it statutorily required
that we have this position in place?
Is there a legal requirement
in order to address the bond needs of the city?
So, my understanding and conversation
with our bond counsel is per the charter
in order to actually authorize signing these documents,
which commit the city to debt arrangements per our charter
what we're we're trying to do
with our bond market.
We need an authorized official
in a permanent or interim
capacity approved by this body
in order to sign them.
And my understanding is, and I
have the city attorney here, if
he wants to weigh in further, is
that there aren't, there's no
other official aside from a
confirmed city administrator who
would have the authority to sign
those documents inclusive of
myself and the mayor that neither
that I like to hear from the
city attorney.
Ryan Richardson city attorney so
yes what administer what
director Johnson just said is
correct that the the closing for
these bonds is currently
scheduled for the week of the
four of July fourteenth.
Or thirteenth- during that week
is when administrator Johnson's
resignation become effective and
we would not have a city
administrator that was can had
been confirmed by the council-
our charter there be a lack of clarity that we had somebody who was duly authorized to sign these documents we've looked at whether.
Other city officials could sign but in the charter the person that's designated as the chief financial officer with with explicit authority to manage the city's financial affairs and with explicit authority to bind the city by contract is the city administrator.
is the city administrator that is the person that has always signed the bond
documents that will need to be signed on the 16th and on the 15th and 16th so I
need to understand from the Rules Committee what is the problem because
this sounds this it sounds very straightforward from from what I'm
understanding from our city attorney and our finance director that this is
absolutely critical so according to the Constitution of the City of Oakland
And what I'm hearing the council that that I'm understanding is that we're in a situation
that we need to move this item forward.
So to council member five, I still say these two things have nothing to do with one another.
By charter, we have the ability to confirm a city administrator.
That's by charter, right?
we do not have to confirm the individual
that is presented to us.
So we're talking about bonds.
You could put another name on there.
You could put another name
for a city administrator on there, right?
So you don't have to say yes
because we are going to the bond market.
There are other options.
Council Member-
What are the other options?
Council Member Brown.
Oh, other options?
Yeah.
There's other people.
Okay, thank you so much for the dialogue.
I kind of had the same question of like,
what is the purpose of holding it in committee
for one week versus presenting it to the entire body?
Because this is a scheduling item.
More time to do research
to see what other options are available.
I'll say, I think this needs to move forward.
I don't understand who we could put in place in a week
that would satisfy the requirements that are needed.
I understand there may be concerns with the individual,
but that is the individual in position
at this particular time.
And from what I'm understanding from the mayor's office
that there will be a process to go through
to confirm a permanent individual.
But at this time, and I swear in Oakland,
there's no short of crises or emergencies
that push us up against deadlines.
This feels like one of those times.
And so I do not wanna play with the bond market.
It should not have to be related,
but in this particular moment,
what I'm hearing from the people who do this work
every single day that it is.
So in the best interest of the city,
in this time-sensitive moment,
I want to move this forward to the full city council.
I have a lot of personal opinions, lots of them.
But in what's in the best interest of the city of Oakland,
in order to sign these documents
that I'm hearing from our finance director
need to be signed I would like to move this forward councilmember Brown
awesome likewise I would like to move the item forward and I remain I'm I will
restate my preference for this item staying in a committee so he just seems
word deadlocked can the mayor break a tie no I'm kidding so this item will
to stay in committee.
So, to clarify item 3.8, will we need a motion
to move this item, keep this item committee,
or do we need to move forward with not scheduling that?
Need clarity on what we are?
If there isn't a vote by a majority
of the committee members present to do anything,
then it will, then nothing will happen.
So it won't be automatically scheduled
and it won't be forward it just for clarity.
Councilmember Houston?
I would have to bring it back for another, for scheduling.
Let me share this to you, excuse me, thank you, through the Chair.
This is what happens when you rush to judgment on Justin.
This, this, we wouldn't even be here.
We wouldn't even.
Yes, sir.
Is this related to scheduling?
I had to say what I had to say.
Thank you.
for clarity with their being tied this item there would be no action taken on
item 3.8. I would like to request through the chair for the Director of
Finance to answer what happens if we don't sign these documents and then I
would also like to understand from this body what we are looking forward to
getting a week from now that would satisfy the concerns that are being
listed today. Through the Council President and Council Member Fyfe if we do not
have a interim or a permanent city administrator in position to sign documents on the three
dates I mentioned related to the POS, the OS, and the closing documents for this transaction,
we have to terminate the transaction. The estimated gross savings from the transaction
is about $5.5 million in terms of our PERS costs, which we would not be able to pre-fund,
and we might have other impacts in terms of our cash flow management. So this is something
that we've been counting on in order to realize some savings
and address an ongoing budgetary issue.
That's sort of the rationale for this transaction
which you guys have approved and there's a final approval
of a document coming to you also scheduled separately
on the 7th related to your official statement release.
But if you do not have a person sitting as interim or permanent
at the times of the signature,
we can't move forward with the transaction.
So what does this communicate to our bond committee?
So to be to be and I'm because they're I'm sure they're watching.
Yeah. So and I'll be clear about I've heard the council president
about separating what the item is.
The financial concern is not about the person, but it is about having a person
in the interim or permanent space that is confirmed by this body
and therefore authorized under the charter to sign the documents.
It is I am NOT candidly super worried about this to address your concern
about the fact that this body is doing its due diligence or going through its
process for appointment it is a legal matter that on those dates we need to
have a signature a signatory that's authorized to sign that is the context
our city attorney has mentioned as well okay that is our concern your your
process the fact that we're having a conversation I don't see as particular
This would be a normal legislative process that you might go through
I don't think it's problem we're talking that we're talking about this as we're having a
Spirit discussion and you guys are doing your due diligence in that space. Well, let's just get spirited away
through the chair to our
City attorney, what is the what are the options that we have within the next seven days to have an alternative individual in?
This space what can we do of our charter already outliers what the process is? What are our options?
the city of Toronto. So. Through
And to do that on the fifteenth and sixteenth of July.
That the process that I just described would have had to have taken place.
Somebody would have been had to have been put forward to the council by the mayor for
appointment and confirmed by the council for an interim appointment with the start date
of July fifteenth so that that person would be available to to sign the bond documents.
So what I'm hearing is that the mayor would have to put forward and for this body to move
So, Council President, I'm asking, is your request that the mayor put forward an alternative
proposal for an interim within the next seven days to bring forward to, or potentially schedule
to the full city council in order to move this forward, or that we don't have anyone
in place?
I want to understand what the path forward is.
Yeah, I don't think that's the actual choice, right?
And so I just want another week to do due diligence, right?
so the mayor doesn't explain to me what due diligence diligence maybe talk with the mayor talk with the city administrator
Talk with the city attorney. I would like to see do my due diligence and see what other options or are available
And so I want to wrap this up. So through the chair to the city attorney
We can do that in terms of other options
To fit inside of this timeline
through the chair
all the time.
As assistant city attorney
McCauley explained if this could be a new item could be
scheduled.
In theory the mayor's office could put forward a different
item for an appointment next Wednesday to schedule it and
then have that appear at rules on Thursday if for if the
council does if this rules committee does want to make a
it would need to be there would
need to be an urgency finding
because it would be going on
the supplemental agenda for
that meeting.
So technically those things
could all happen.
I just don't think that's good
but if that is the will of the
body.
Let's say every every week we
come to rules and there's some
type of rush on why we have to
make a decision right so this is
a power that's vested in us by
the charge of doing so.
that we have to take seriously this person is going to be running the city for maybe the next six months right so I'm just asking for another week and sees it we will move forward but I just want to do my due diligence on behalf of my constituents.

Yes, I have a through the chair have a comment about 318 why are we bringing it?
July the 14th talking about
Properties that's owned by the city when that's the date that the EAP is going to start being implemented
you know I think this is what
the commission is going to do
with it because councilmember
five.
Her recommendation was to hold
it back for three months when it
was implemented or when it was
approved on four fourteen which
gave us enough time to look at
things right and I was a blessed
yesterday to go to our to attend
the commission of homelessness
with amari and mr cubit on the
you know it's going to be
implemented on the fourteenth
that three eighteen should go
to full council to let them know
what's going on on seven.
Seven twenty six along with
bringing this this power point
this powerful power point that.
Councilmember Brown cast member
five councilmember jenani you
guys need to see this power
point what was done before is
implemented because it's going
this is not a property that
needed to be brought up prior
within those three months so we
can address these RVs it's
going to be removed.
Councilmember Janati.
President Jenkins.
Councilmember Brown.
We talking about this bringing
this on the fourteenth the day
that the EAP I was the author of
the EAP that is going to be
brought on the floor on the
fourteenth let's bring it to
full council so council knows
what they can do and we can move
because if you look at this 23 um encampments was closed in councilmember
Fife's district you need to see this stuff councilmember Fife you need to see
this needs to come to full council on as an emergency before because let me share
this with you president if we bring this to the 21st that would be seven days
after the encampment abatement policy has passed it's being implemented right
But we're able to go back and
back and forth right and then
if we wait. From the fourteenth
when is being implemented to
the next council meeting which
is on nine fifteen. That's
sixty three days before the
while it's being implemented.
This needs to be addressed so
so that need to be put on the
seventh count president. We got
to look at this we're about to
start closing down encampments
people will be on house we
Like, how does the city run?
So, so councilmember Houston, yes, I think you are saying two things.
There's a presentation that you want to go to the next council meeting.
Is that correct? Seven seven twenty six.
OK. And then what you also are advocating for is the city on properties.
You're advocating for it to bypass committee and go straight to council on seven seven.
So we understand what's happening, because if you look here on three 18,
it says that on July 14th, life enrichment.
That's the data they're gonna start implementing it councilmember five. Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna go to councilmember Brown
But councilmember five you're gonna have to weigh in as the chair of LEC
Are you okay with three eighteen going straight to full council as opposed to going to committee so councilmember Brown then five?
Excellent. All I was gonna say is that in alignment with the policy in the 90 days. I think the department was just
Kind of following what the policy outlined because we gave that timeline
But I'm if the chair of LEC is amenable. I'm okay with it going to full council
councilmember five
This is not my item. I did not schedule this. This is a city administrators item to
identify what the
inventory is of
And so I think that that is
what we want to do with our
vacant parcels.
It will have absolutely no
bearing on what we do in terms
of housing people, moving rvs,
whatsoever.
We've done this inventory in
the past.
I have two city owned parcels
in district three, neither of
which are large enough to do
anything around homelessness.
So I don't see this item as
being impactful at all.
of what we do here, no real solutions to the crisis that my district is being impacted
by.
So if we're talking about moving things off my agenda for a day that's already impacted,
I have no problem with that.
And at the same time, I do want to follow the protocols of going through committee before
items are heard, but this is an informational report.
They're going to just tell us what the vacant parcels are, which can be read in an info
packet.
I don't see how this presentation is going to do anything substantial to move the needle
on homelessness but that is my perspective.
Through the chair.
Beg to differ councilmember Pfeiffer let me share with you why.
In district 711 73rd avenue was a site that was shut down by the city because they ran
out of funds.
I have a relationship from the state county to the city.
the county would fund. The
person the provider. So this
could have been done but then
Justin left and then it. Fell
all apart right but let me
share what happened with that
councilmember five that same
lot seven one one it's not in
my district is in the
president's district and
they're all trying to get
it's in the president's district we work together like two peas in a pod. So let
me share this with you. The city put $500,000 into that property. When it was
closed down councilmember Janani, guess what happened? No security, no nothing,
right? It was damaged, it was vandalized, telephone poles were cut down, all the
wires was pulled out, so that $500,000
president.
Is gone and wasted.
And after we took that walk and I was with Cupid Justin,
I'm not sure if you came, councilman, president,
but it's more damage now.
So the city already spent $500,000.
Now they got to spend another $300,000.
So what I'm speaking is I beg to differ.
Because let me tell you why, if it would have been adjusted
and brought together, monitoring the lot that the city owns,
And that three months we would add individuals on that property council member fight.
So what I'm saying is is that somehow we got to come together and be organized because
I didn't agree with what you did council member fight with the three months but after I looked
at it and I analyzed it I appreciate that because it gave the city enough time to be
able to make things happen which it didn't.
the property in your district, right there,
council president, is a prime example
why it didn't happen, right?
And it's not your fault.
It's not you, I'm not saying you.
I'm saying that this county right now
said that they would provide the provider
if it was up and running.
If we would've had it monitored,
we would have people from your district,
council member five, from all across your district
on that, it's 47 locates, so 47 spaces in there
that could be utilized.
So what I'm saying is this,
let me tell you this to you,
I got it now president.
Okay, can we just move this?
Again, I said my schedule for life and rich is impacted.
I'm not necessarily concerned with an item
being moved off my agenda.
In fact, it frees up more time and space
for me to manage my agenda.
But I have to ask if the materials are available.
And because I assume that whatever would be presented
for an info report would need to be ready for the seventh.
So that is a question because we can't just say move something
and make it happen. The city moves slowly.
And I want to say that the city staff who do the cleanings
and closures ask for one hundred and twenty days, not 90 days.
this was not something that I just came up with.
I was asked by our homelessness team to extend the time
so they could put in standard operating procedures.
This was not my, yeah, they wanted to create SOPs
so that the fire department, the police department,
the homelessness team would all be on the same page
about how to operationalize the EAP.
So I wanna be absolutely clear,
this came from staff as a request.
Not sure why they didn't say that to you,
because my district is the most
impacted and this is an info
report where the information on
the vacant properties are
available and have been
available for years if y'all
want me to move.
Homeless interventions to other
parts of the city outside of
district three happy to do that
all right now in my district we
don't have space that is city
owned and I want to make that
absolutely clear anything that
we're doing for real solutions
I want to move that forward
you know I don't think we're
going to have to do that for
real solutions.
I want to move that forward.
And that's not what this is.
Okay so council member we got a
move forward so three eighteen
we'll do a roll twenty four as.
We're going to move this to full
council.
With the E. A. P. set to take
place.
It's important that we hear this
report in here where there are.
Spaces to put people that might
this is the last item we're
going to be talking about.
You need to come back for item
four and request that it come
back.
Item four?
Item four.
Trinity will be here.
Okay.
Okay.
Right.
Through the chair, we need to
move from the city administrator's
office.
I'm not sure if staff is going
to be prepared to finalize that
report for tonight's print.
Okay.
So I need it.
I'm waiting to hear back from
staff if they can present and
also have the report ready unless
you want this to be.
And we'll rule 28 it to council member Houston.
So we're going to leave it as is until we find out
if the department is ready to present.
Thank you.
So noted item 318 will be as is.
We're going back to item 3.23 with the next item in order.

is item 3.44, 45, and it's a report of a recommitment process
for chief of police in this item was received
and filed in committee and that concludes your new schedule.
Thank you for all that reading.
That was a lot.
That was so good.
All right, let's go to the public commenters.
Thank you and we will now call it those.
We have two people who signed up for item three at this time.
I have Blair Beekman and Rajni Mandal.
I will take those who are here in person first.
Good morning Rajni or afternoon.
to support the community
camera program, yet six months
later appears a new contract
still has not been executed.
In the meantime, PAC recently
completed its review of the
existing FLOC program, and the
annual report was published in
2017.
I have a few comments and
upcoming agenda items that share
a common theme, implementation
and long-term investment.
First, I'd appreciate a status
update on the FLOC community
camera program.
Last December, Council approved
continuing the FLOC contract and
And the annual report showed the technology is being used responsibly with documented audits, mandatory training, strengthened data
sharing restrictions, and no reported policy violations. The updated policy also expands authorized investigations to include illegal dumping.
So my question is simple. Where does the community camera program stand today? And if council approved this expansion six months ago,
what is the implementation timeline and where is the bottleneck?
Public safety technology is only effective if projects move from approval to execution in a timely manner
Second I support bringing forward the helicopter maintenance contract because opd has to maintain the contact the aircraft it has today
But the helicopter I think is more than 20 years old and we should be asking what comes next
Is there a long-term replacement strategy are there newer or more cost effective options such as fixed-wing aircraft?
That could provide similar capabilities at a lower lifecycle cost
More broadly this isn't just about the helicopter. Oakland has aging police vehicles fire apparatus public works equipment and technology systems across city government
I also support the mayor's proposal for an independent technology audit
But I hope it leads to a city-wide technology modernization plan and not just simply another report
Although measure e did not pass the these infrastructure needs haven't disappeared and I hope the city begins discussing a comprehensive
capital replacement strategy and explores whether existing capital funding sources,
including unused bond proceeds were legally permissible, can be used to modernize fleet
and technology across city departments.
These aren't glamorous investments, but they are essential to delivering reliable public
services.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments.
We'll now take the next speaker, our Zoom speaker.
I have Blair Beekman.
you may unmute yourself and begin your comments.
Hi, Blair Beekman, good afternoon.
I wanted to speak on three plus items,
3.41 to 3.45, 3.24, and 3.37.
Yeah, okay, so with 2.46, yeah, thank you about,
to begin with item 3.44, this Oakland City sanctuary plan.
Thank you that you approved it a couple of days ago.
Thank you to councilperson Houston,
who he's got a lot to weigh and decided to go
for our ideals and workout practicality from our ideals.
Good luck in that effort.
It's from the sanctuary of city policies.
There's a lot of comment.
What are we gonna do about the future of Flock?
Thank you a lot for the previous public comment,
who I think really spoke nicely.
Where is the program at at this time?
Flock has the ability to add a whole bunch
new technology without oversight, without counsel or P.A.C. oversight, I think.
That's a question.
Can we work on that?
And can we really start working on, you know, we're supposed to be working for the future
of a new AO pair of vendor besides Clark in the next 18 months.
To start having those conversations now in public, I think, would help with morale.
I think it would be positiveness and not fear.
I think we should start doing that stuff now
to get a community involvement
in what is the future we're building.
We're building a future without war, basically.
I think we should start doing those things now.
So good luck on those efforts.
I also wanted to address Costco issue.
You know, as much as we can't live there,
it's been deemed, but we can place food
and products there and that's safe.
I think that needs to be questioned.
Good luck in having the conversation about it.
Thank you, that Councilperson Pfeiff said,
just as long as we can have a community conversation,
that's what's key.
And thank you for her words on that.
So important.
For item 3.45 is the recruitment process
for a chief of police.
You guys keep complaining
that we keep going through police chiefs.
It's because our public has a deep concern.
And our public has a great review system
to make sure our process is in place,
that we have best practices going on.
And administration's angry about that.
And you guys are creating new legal systems
to take that away from the public.
When we have a very, we have a very good system
of checks and balances in place,
that administration needs to respect more
and understand that dynamic and relationship
and learn how to work with that better.
We go back and forth.
I hope we come to a conclusion
and the importance of public participation
And that's how we hire a new police chief
who will stay by believing in the public,
certain important part of the public.
Thank you.
Thank you.
To further comments, that concludes our speakers
for item three.
Thank you.
Councilmember Fyfe.
I'm only speaking to this because I heard a woohoo
from the gallery over there about fixed wing aircraft.
In 2023, council member Kaplan at the time
and I brought forward an info report requesting information
on the costing for that item.
is something I plan on bringing back to the Public Safety Committee so I just
wanted to state that for the record. Thank you Councilmember Fyfe. All right

Through the chair to the body just regarding the July 2nd rules and legislation committee
Just wanted to know because this body earlier in this meeting
Continued item s6 to that agenda. That's technically going to appear on the what's the supplemental agenda for Rules Committee
So when you hear the item at rules, it will require an urgency finding just stating that on the record
So the clerk can make that notation on the agenda. Thank you
district seven
We are requesting to place the e-mat presentation that was presented during the Commission on
Homelessness on 6-24-2026 on the City Council meeting on 7-7-2026.
We're going to use a Rule 24.
The EAP did pass on 4-14-2026 and its implementation is set to be 7-14-2026.
26 we're seeking a bypass committee so that the full council can hear the presentation and if this
presentation is heard any time after
It will be seven days after the EAP implementation
And then we also run the risk of running into counselor recess and run the risk of now having a council meeting until 9 15
20 26. Thank you. I'll roll 28 it. Thank you
Let's go to the public speakers
Sorry apologies. We don't have any public speakers for this item
We just have one for open forum which is next yeah, so we need a motion
Second that was a motion by councilmember Ramachandran
Apologies second by councilmember Brown to approve who of item for as is on roll
Councilmember Brown. Hi councilmember fight
Councilmember Ramachandran I share Jenkins. I item number four is approved as is with four eyes
That now takes us to open forum
and then I have one speaker on this,
which is Miss Rajni Mandal.
Good afternoon.
Rajni Mandal, District Four.
I'd just like to make a brief comment
about public participation.
At the last Public Safety Committee meeting,
several speakers were heckled and intimidated
while giving public comment.
And yesterday, there was also shooting
just a couple blocks from City Hall in broad daylight.
Many Oakland residents are not activists
or members of organized groups.
They have jobs, families, other responsibilities.
And they're less likely to come to City Hall
don't feel welcome or don't feel safe and
That's why I hope Council continues to place real value on emails and e-comments
The recent election show that Oakland has an engaged electorate
But not everyone can attend meetings in person, but their voices are just as important and deserve to be heard. Thank you
Thank you that concludes our open forum say thank you this meeting is adjourned
