REFERENCING THE POLICE
12:44:39

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND

12:44:42
THE SCOPE OF HEALTH AND
12:44:43
SAFETY ISSUES, IT STILL
12:44:46
REMAINS CONFUSING, BUT YOU DO
12:44:48
HAVE DIALOGUE AMONGST
12:44:49
YOURSELVES ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE
12:44:50
GOING TO BE DOING.
12:44:50
IT IS MY INTENT THAT YOU DO
12:44:53
NOT ABATE OR LESSEN THE
12:44:55
ISSUES RELATED TO THIS
12:44:58
DEPARTMENT, THAT YOU DO NOT
12:44:59
REMOVE ISSUES THAT ARE
12:45:01

RELATED TO THIS HEALTH AND

12:45:03
SAFETY ISSUES, BUT YOU
12:45:06
RELOCATE THE POLICE
12:45:09
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO A
12:45:10
BUILDING THAT IS SAFE FOR
12:45:12
OFFICERS IN THE PUBLIC THAT
12:45:15
WILL BE USING THE BUILDING.
12:45:17
THE OTHER ITEM IS ON 6/14,
12:45:22
2016, YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT
12:45:23
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE
12:45:25
REPORT, I CONTINUE TO REQUEST
12:45:27
THAT THIS BODY REALIZE THAT
12:45:30

TRAFFIC CITATIONS IS A
12:45:31
REVENUE FOR THE CITY OF
12:45:34
OAKLAND,

WHAT YOU DO NOT

12:45:39
REFLECT IN ANY DIALOGUE OR
12:45:41
REPORTING THE AMOUNTS OF
12:45:44
MONIES OBTAINED THROUGH
12:45:46
TRAFFIC CITATIONS, MAYBE YOU
12:45:46
DON'T FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT
12:45:48
BUT IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
12:45:49
THERE APPEARS TO BE DESPERATE
12:45:51
TREATMENT OF AFRICAN
12:45:53
AMERICANS IN THE TICKETING
12:45:54

PROCESS, YOU ARE MAKING THIS

12:45:55
A POSSIBILITY, YOU ARE MAKING
12:45:57
THE MONEY OFF THE BACKS OF
12:45:59
POOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN
12:46:00
THIS COMMUNITY.
12:46:01
DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE.
12:46:03
YOU ALSO DO NOT REFLECT IN
12:46:06
ANY OF YOUR REPORTING AROUND
12:46:09
THE EQUAL ACCESS ORDINANCE,
12:46:11
ANY IMPACT FISCAL STATEMENTS.
12:46:13
THE LAST REPORT DID REFLECT A
12:46:17
-- SOMETHING RELATED TO
12:46:21

BILINGUAL PREMIUM PAY, BUT

12:46:22
YOU DID NOT BREAK DOWN HOW
12:46:24
MUCH MONEY YOU ARE SPENDING
12:46:27
TO REFLECT PAYING PEOPLE 5%
12:46:30
PAY INCREASES AROUND THAT
12:46:33
ISSUE.
12:46:34
DOES IT REFLECT QUOTAS, DOES
12:46:36
IT REFLECT PREFERENCES AND
12:46:37
THE HIRING OF INDIVIDUALS
12:46:39
SHOULD BE DEALT WITH.
12:46:39
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:46:42
WHILE THE NEXT SPEAKER IS
12:46:44

COMING UP, FOR SOMEBODY, THE

12:46:47
ADMINISTRATION OR BUDGET
12:46:48
OFFICE, WHEN WE DO OUR ANNUAL
12:46:51
OR OUR BIANNUAL BUDGET, DO WE
12:46:52
NOT SEE A LINE ITEM ABOUT HOW
12:46:54
MUCH WE GET IN THROUGH
12:46:58
TRAFFIC CITATIONS AND FINES
12:46:59
OF THAT MATTER?
12:47:01
IS THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE
12:47:02
BUDGET?
12:47:03
>> IT'S INCLUDED IN THE
12:47:04
REVENUES.
12:47:05

>> BUT IS IT ITEMIZED OUT, DO

12:47:07
WE KNOW HOW MUCH WE GET?
12:47:09
>> WE PRESENT THE GENERAL
12:47:11
FUND AND ALL FUND REVENUES BY
12:47:17
CATEGORIES AND IT'S IN ONE OF
12:47:18
THE CATEGORIES, AND WHEN WE
12:47:21
UPDATE THE THOUSANDS OF LINE,
12:47:22
IT'S IN THERE.
12:47:25
>> IT'S IN THERE, OKAY.
12:47:28
>> I'M SUSAN HARMON AND
12:47:30
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE
12:47:31
LETTER THAT WE JUST HANDED
12:47:33

OUT AND THAT YOU GOT A COPY

12:47:35
OF OVER THE WEEKEND.
12:47:38
OTHER CITIES, SANTA FE AND
12:47:42
PHILADELPHIA SPECIFICALLY ARE
12:47:42
ALREADY LOOKING AT THE
12:47:45
POSSIBILITY, THE FEASIBILITY
12:47:46
OF HAVING A PUBLIC BANK, AND
12:47:48
IT'S TIME FOR OAKLAND TOO.
12:47:52
OVER THE WEEKEND, AN AUSTRIAN
12:47:56
BANK STARTED BAILING IN -12:47:57
IT'S NOT CLEAR WHETHER IT'S
12:47:59
DEPOSITS OR ITS OTHER SPECIAL
12:48:02

MONEY, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT

12:48:04
OUR FUNDS ARE IN JEOPARDY IN
12:48:08
CHASE.
12:48:08
THE CHASE CONTRACT WHICH
12:48:09
NOBODY IS HAPPY WITH IS
12:48:12
ALMOST OVER, THIS IS A GOOD
12:48:15
TIME TO BE LOOKING AT OUR OWN
12:48:17
BANK.
12:48:17
WE NEED THE MOVE OUR MONEY
12:48:18
OUT OF CHASE BUT AS WE ALL
12:48:20
KNOW, WE CAN'T MOVE IT TO A
12:48:22
COMMUNITY BANK, THEY JUST
12:48:24

CANT HANDLE OUR ACCOUNTS,

12:48:25
THEY'RE TOO BIG, SO THE TIME
12:48:27
IS RIPE TO START A BANK OF
12:48:30
OUR OWN.
12:48:31
THE MODEL THAT WE'RE LOOKING
12:48:33
AT ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT HELD TO
12:48:34
IT IS THE BANK OF NORTH
12:48:36
DAKOTA AND I WOULD URGE YOU
12:48:37
TO LOOK AT THEIR ANNUAL
12:48:40
REPORT.
12:48:40
THEY'VE BEEN RETURNING ABOUT
12:48:42
25% TO THE GENERAL FUND EVERY
12:48:45

YEAR FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

12:48:49
ANYHOW, AND AS YOU ALL KNOW
12:48:50
BECAUSE I'VE TOLD YOU ALL,
12:48:54
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY HAS SEVERED
12:48:58
ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH ITS
12:49:01
WALL STREET BANKS WHICH IS
12:49:02
ALL BUT GOLDMAN SACHS WHICH
12:49:04
HASN'T ADMITTED ANYTHING YET,
12:49:06
BUT IT KEEPS PAYING FEES AS
12:49:08
THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR JUST
12:49:10
MENTIONED.
12:49:11
I ALSO OBJECT TO POSTPONING
12:49:14

THE SPINNAKER GOLDMAN SACHS

12:49:16
REPORT, WE KNOW EVERYTHING WE
12:49:17
NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.
12:49:20
THANK YOU.
12:49:20
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:49:23
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
12:49:26
>> GOOD MORNING, COMMITTEE
12:49:28
MEMBER, I'M CRAIG BRANT, I
12:49:29
ALSO AM HERE TO SUPPORT THAT
12:49:32
OAKLAND LOOK INTO A
12:49:34
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR
12:49:35
CREATING A PUBLIC BANK,
12:49:37

PUBLIC BANKS FOR OAKLAND IS

12:49:39
LONG OVERDUE, IT'S TIME THAT
12:49:42
OAKLAND NOW NOT ONLY DO YOU
12:49:44
OWN ASSETS BUT YOU DON'T
12:49:45
ALWAYS CONTROL THEM, SO THE
12:49:46
WAY YOU CONTROL THEM IS YOU
12:49:48
HAVE TO CREATE YOUR OWN
12:49:49
INSTITUTION, IT'S CALLED A
12:49:51
BANK, AND IT CAN BE DONE AND
12:49:53
NORTH DAKOTA HAS DONE IT
12:49:56
SUCCESSFULLY FOR ALMOST 100
12:49:57
YEARS NOW SO THERE'S NO
12:49:59

REASON WHY OAKLAND CAN'T DO

12:50:00
THE SAME, SO JUST REMEMBER
12:50:01
THIS, THAT THE POWER TO DO
12:50:03
LOANS IS THE POWER TO CREATE
12:50:05
JOBS, AND IF THAT'S WHAT YOU
12:50:07
REALLY WANT TO DO, THEN YOU
12:50:08
HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR
12:50:10
MONEY AND MANAGE IT YOURSELF
12:50:12
AND YOU DO THAT THROUGH A
12:50:13
PUBLIC BANK, SO I WOULD
12:50:15
REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK
12:50:16
INTO THIS AND DO THE
12:50:18

FEASIBILITY STUDY AND DO WHAT

12:50:20
NORTH DAKOTA HAS DONE
12:50:22
SUCCESSFULLY FOR ALMOST 100
12:50:23
YEARS, THANK YOU.
12:50:23
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NEXT
12:50:27
SPEAKER, PLEASE.
12:50:33
>> HI, JP MASSER, THERE ARE
12:50:34
MANY REASONS TO DO A PUBLIC
12:50:36
BANK, ONE OF THEM THAT'S BEEN
12:50:39
MENTIONED IS YOUR MONEY IS IN
12:50:41
CHASE NOW WHICH YOU'VE HAD
12:50:42
PROBLEMS WITH AND IS A KNOWN
12:50:46

FELON, JUST AS WE'VE SEEN

12:50:50
BERNIE SANDERS HAS STATED,
12:50:51
THE BUSINESS MODEL OF WALL
12:50:53
STREET IS FLAWED AND WE JUST
12:50:55
GOT THAT CONFIRMED WITH
12:50:58
GOLDMAN SACHS PAYING 5
12:51:01
BILLION DOLLAR FEE, NOT A
12:51:03
FEE, A FINE, YOU KNOW, I
12:51:04
DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE
12:51:05
DOING THAT UNLESS THERE WAS
12:51:11
SOMETHING REALLY WRONG, AND
12:51:12
YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL
12:51:15

WITH THESE BANKS AND WHY

12:51:16
WOULD YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE
12:51:19
TO, BUT EVEN MORE
12:51:21
IMPORTANTLY, I THINK YOU NEED
12:51:23
TO THINK OF THE LONG TERM,
12:51:26
YOU KNOW, YOUR JOBS, THE CITY
12:51:29
COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY IS
12:51:30
TO -- IS SOMETIMES TO DEAL
12:51:32
WITH THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS
12:51:33
OF OAKLAND, LIKE THE HOUSING
12:51:35
CRISIS, THE HOMELESS,
12:51:36
WHATEVER, BUT ALSO YOU HAVE
12:51:37

TO REALLY THINK OF THE LONG

12:51:39
TERM, OAKLAND'S BEEN HERE FOR
12:51:41
150 YEARS, IT WILL BE HERE
12:51:43
FOR ANOTHER 150 YEARS.
12:51:45
CREATING A BANK, YOU KNOW,
12:51:47
ISN'T FOR THE IMMEDIATE
12:51:48
MOMENT, IT'S FOR THE NEXT 100
12:51:50
YEARS, IT'S FOR THE NEXT 150
12:51:53
YEARS, THE BANK OF NORTH
12:51:55
DAKOTA HAS BEEN LIKE
12:51:57
PROVIDING CAPITAL AND MONEY
12:51:58
AND MONEY BACK INTO THE
12:52:00

GENERAL FUND FOR THE LAST 50

12:52:04
YEARS AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF
12:52:07
YOU DO CREATE A PUB LUCK
12:52:10
BANK, IT WILL BE FOR THE LONG
12:52:12
TERM AND IT WILL BE SERVING
12:52:15
OAKLAND INSTEAD OF EXPLOITING
12:52:16
OAKLAND WHICH IS THE
12:52:17
SITUATION THAT YOU HAVE NOW,
12:52:18
SO THE FIRST STEP IS TO DO A
12:52:21
PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS AS
12:52:22
WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT THEY
12:52:23
DID IN SANTA FE AND THAT
12:52:24

THEY'RE ABOUT TO DO IN
12:52:28
PHILADELPHIA, AND YOU KNOW,
12:52:29
THAT WILL SET UP THE BASIS
12:52:30
FOR THE LONG TERM, AND THAT'S
12:52:32
WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO,
12:52:34
THANK YOU.
12:52:34
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:52:38
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THOSE
12:52:40
ITEMS GOING FORWARD?
12:52:42
CAN WE HAVE A MOTION?
12:52:43
>> I HAVE A QUESTION.
>> COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
12:52:46
>> SO, WE HAD A POLICY ITEM

12:52:50
ON THE STATEWIDE POLICY
12:52:53
[INAUDIBLE].
12:52:59
>> WE DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE ON
12:53:00
THAT, WE WILL GET YOU AN
12:53:02
UPDATE FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
>> THANK YOU.
12:53:04
>> THANK YOU.
12:53:05
>> IF I MAY, THAT WILL BE
12:53:07
ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE
12:53:10
BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION
12:53:10
MITIGATION THAT'S COMING TO THE
12:53:13
COMMITTEE ON APRIL 26TH, AN
12:53:14

UPDATE ON THAT ITEM ALONG

12:53:17
WITH OTHER -- ON THAT
12:53:18
SPECIFIC ITEM, I DON'T KNOW,
12:53:21
BUT THAT IMPLEMENTATION
12:53:22
MATRIX IS COMING ON APRIL
12:53:25
26TH.
12:53:25
>> SO, I JUST WANT TO
12:53:28
UNDERSTAND THE REPORT THAT'S
12:53:32
UP ON [INAUDIBLE].
12:53:41
WHAT EXACTLY -- I'M TRYING TO
12:53:46
FIGURE OUT IF [INAUDIBLE]
12:53:47
ACTION.
12:53:48

>> I DON'T KNOW YET, WE

12:53:50
HAVEN'T WRITTEN IT BUT WE
12:53:52
HAVE RECEIVED SOME
12:53:52
INFORMATION THROUGH THE CITY
12:53:54
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE JUST VERY
12:53:56
RECENTLY THAT WILL ALLOW US
12:53:57
TO PREPARE INFORMATION FOR
12:53:58
YOU, IF THERE'S INTEREST IN
12:53:59
TAKING ACTION, IF WE CAN PUT
12:54:01
SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT WOULD
12:54:02
BE ACTIONABLE, WE'LL TRY TO
12:54:03
DO THAT.
12:54:04

>> I CERTAINLY WOULD BE

12:54:08
[INAUDIBLE].
12:54:17
( MIC. NOT WORKING ).
>> WE AGREE.
12:54:20
>> CAN I JUST ADD TO THAT.
12:54:24
THE RULES REQUEST THAT CAME
12:54:26
FOR THAT ITEM, WE
12:54:30
SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR
12:54:31
OPTIONS THE COUNCIL CAN
12:54:32
EXPLORE, THERE IS A DESIRE
12:54:34
ALREADY FOR COUNCILMEMBERS TO
12:54:36
TAKE ACTION, WE JUST WANT TO
12:54:37
KNOW WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE.

12:54:38
>> SO, JUST FOR CLARITY
12:54:40
PURPOSES, WOULD YOU PREFER
12:54:42
THEN AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT
12:54:43
THAT WOULD GIVE YOU AN ARRAY
12:54:45
OF OPTIONS OR TO GIVE YOU A
12:54:48
RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU COULD
12:54:49
ACTUALLY ACT ON?
12:54:50
>> THERE SHOULD BE AN ARRAY
12:54:52
OF OPTIONS, IF THE STAFF
12:54:53
WANTS TO RECOMMEND ONE OF
12:54:55
THOSE ACTIONS GOING FORWARD,
12:54:56
THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY

12:54:56
FINE.
>> THANK YOU.
12:54:58
>> I NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT
12:55:03
AS AMENDED.
12:55:04
MOVED AND SECOND, ALL IN

TO THE [INAUDIBLE] SO THAT

12:56:04
MEANS WE COULD SEE THE FIRST
12:56:08
SENILITY

-- SENATE

12:56:13
APPROPRIATION BY [INAUDIBLE].
12:56:18
MOVING ON THE BUDGE, THE
12:56:19
HOUSE COULD CHOOSE THE
12:56:20
[INAUDIBLE] RESOLUTION, BUT
12:56:21
THE CLOSER WE GET TO THE
12:56:23
DEADLINE WITHOUT A BUDGET
12:56:26
RESOLUTION, [INAUDIBLE] A
12:56:28
CONTINUING RESOLUTION WHICH
12:56:29
IS CONTINUE SPENDING AS THE
12:56:32

[INAUDIBLE].
12:56:34
WITH THAT, QUESTIONS?
12:56:37
>> COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS
12:56:37
ON THE STATE OR FEDERAL
12:56:39
BUDGET.
12:56:39
COUNCILMEMBER MCELHANEY?
12:56:41
>> GOOD MORNING, GOOD TO SEE
12:56:43
YOU AGAIN, A COUPLE OF THINGS
12:56:44
IN TERMS OF BUDGETARY
12:56:46
ITEMS, I ASKED FOR A
12:56:47
FOLLOW-UP ON THE DROUGHT
12:56:48
MATTERS AND WITH RESPECT TO
12:56:49

WATER, DO WE HAVE AN UPDATE

12:56:50
ON THAT?
12:56:52
>> YES, SO THE STATE WATER
12:56:54
BOARD IS LOOKING TO ALLEVIATE
12:56:56
SOME OF THEIR MANDATES,
12:56:58
THEY'RE PLANNING ON MEETING
12:56:59
THIS MONTH SO WE'LL BE
12:57:00
TRACKING THAT.
12:57:01
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO
12:57:03
LOOK INTO FUNDING RELATED TO
12:57:04
THAT BUT WE'LL BE KEEPING
12:57:05
TRACK OF THAT AS WELL.
12:57:07

>> AND NO FINES OR FEES FOR

12:57:09
OAKLAND WITH RESPECT TO US
12:57:10
MEETING OUR TARGET?
12:57:13
>> NOT THAT I'M AWARE, BUT I
12:57:15
WILL DOUBLE CHECK.
12:57:15
>> THANK YOU.
12:57:17
>> THANK YOU, AND ANYMORE
12:57:21
QUESTIONS, COLLEAGUES?
12:57:22
NO?
12:57:23
>> THERE WAS A RECENT
12:57:27
DEADLINE THAT JUST PASSED FOR
12:57:31
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
12:57:36

AND HOUSING [INAUDIBLE].

12:57:39
I THINK THERE WAS A
12:57:43
[INAUDIBLE].
12:57:44
( MIC. NOT WORKING ).
12:57:49
>> THE STATE GREENHOUSE GAS
12:57:51
FUNDS.
12:57:52
>> [INAUDIBLE].
12:57:52
>> YES, YES, SO WE SUBMITTED
12:57:57
THE APPLICATIONS AND
12:57:59
ESSENTIALLY THEY'RE CONCEPT
12:58:00
PROPOSALS, SO WE'LL FIND OUT
12:58:01
MORE WHICH OF THOSE CONCEPTS
12:58:03

PASSED ON TO THE FULL

12:58:05
PROPOSAL STAGE THE WEEK OF
12:58:08
APRIL 25TH AND I'VE BROWSING
12:58:09
UP ONE OF THE FEE
12:58:12
COORDINATORS REGARDING THAT,
12:58:13
SO I CAN BRING HER UP IF YOU
12:58:15
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING
12:58:16
THAT?
12:58:17
>> I WOULD LIKE TO
12:58:21
[INAUDIBLE].
12:58:23
DO WE KNOW YET, IS IT TOO
12:58:27
EARLY IN THE PROCESS?
12:58:27

>> IT IS A LITTLE TOO EARLY

12:58:30
FROM WHAT I GATHER, WE SHOULD
12:58:33
KNOW MORE BY APRIL 25TH, AND
12:58:35
WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY HOW
12:58:38
COMPETITIVE VOTES THOSE ARE
12:58:39
BECAUSE WE WILL BE ABLE TO
12:58:45
APPLY FOR EXTRA CREDITS
12:58:46
BECAUSE OF OUR WILLINGNESS TO
12:58:49
COLLABORATE WITH [INAUDIBLE]
12:58:52
SO, WE DON'T KNOW AS MUCH
12:58:55
YET, IT'S KIND OF -- IT'S
12:58:57
VERY DIFFICULT TO GAUGE OUR
12:58:59

PROJECT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT

12:59:00
KNOWING HOW THE OTHER PROJECTS
12:59:02
ARE BEING COMPOSED OUTSIDE OF
12:59:09
OUR [INAUDIBLE].
12:59:12
>> MARY ANNE SERGEANT,
12:59:13
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
12:59:14
DEVELOPMENT, SO OUT OF THE 8,
12:59:16
THE WAY THESE APPLICATIONS
12:59:17
ARE EVALUATED IN THE CONCEPT
12:59:20
PROPOSAL STAGE IS MEETING
12:59:22
THRESHOLD AND THEN THERE'S
12:59:23
KIND OF LIKE IT'S NOT A TIE
12:59:26

BREAKER BUT A SECONDARY

12:59:28
SCREEN, SO ALL OF OUR
12:59:32
APPLICATIONS THROUGH THE
12:59:34
FIRST SCREEN ARE SCORING
12:59:37
GREAT, BUT THEN THAT NEEDS TO
12:59:38
BE VETTED BY THE STAFF AND
12:59:42
EVALUATED -- BASICALLY WE
12:59:42
HAVE TO LOOK AT THE
12:59:46
ENFORCEMENT FUNDING
12:59:48
COMMITMENTS, CEQA, NEQUA,
12:59:52
LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS, AND
12:59:54
THE FOURTH ONE IS -- ANYWAYS,
12:59:56

SO ALL OF THEM ARE LOOKING

12:59:57
REALLY GOOD IN TERMS OF THAT.
12:59:59
ON THE SECOND SCREEN, OUT OF
13:00:02
THE 8 PROPOSALS, SO THE
13:00:04
SECOND SCREEN IS THE CAL
13:00:08
ENVIRO SCORE WHICH WE DON'T
13:00:10
HAVE CONTROL OVER, SO EACH OF
13:00:12
THESE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED
13:00:13
WITHIN CENSUS TRACTS AND
13:00:15
THOSE CENSUS TRACTS ARE GIVEN
13:00:17
A SCORE BASED ON WHETHER -13:00:19
LIKE, HOW DISADVANTAGED THAT
13:00:21

THE COMMUNITY IS, AND THAT'S

13:00:24
BASED ON 19 INDICATORS, AND
13:00:29
SO THE CAL ENVIRO SCORES FOR
13:00:30
THESE, TWO OF THEM ARE IN THE
13:00:33
FIRST TIER, COLISEUM PLACE
13:00:36
AND COLISEUM TRANSIT VILLAGE,
13:00:37
THEY SCORED 96 TO 100 PERCENT
13:00:41
BASICALLY, THEY'RE CONSIDERED
13:00:43
SEVERELY IMPACTED
13:00:45
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES,
13:00:47
IMPERIUM HOTEL IS IN THE
13:00:52
THIRD TIER, EAST 12TH STREET
13:00:55

AND FRUITVALE TRANSIT VILLAGE

13:00:56
IS IN THE FOURTH TIER, AND
13:01:05
APARTMENTS ON MARTIN LUTHER
13:01:07
KING IS FIFTH TIER AND OAK
13:01:11
WOOD AND CAMPBELL IS 7TH TIER
13:01:14
AND REDWOOD HILLS IS CLOSE TO
13:01:15
THE BOTTOM, THEY JUST GOT A
13:01:17
NOFA ALLOCATION WHICH MEANS
13:01:19
THEY MAY FALL OUT OF THE
13:01:20
RUNNING BECAUSE THEY DON'T
13:01:21
HAVE A GAP ANYMORE OR MIGHT
13:01:24
NOT HAVE A GAP ANYMORE, SO -13:01:29

AND OF THAT, ABOUT 14 MILLION IS

13:01:32
HOUSING RELATED -- SO, THE
13:01:34
TOTAL ASK IS 110 MILLION OUT
13:01:35
OF ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS,
13:01:40
OF THAT, 14.5 IS HOUSING
13:01:42
RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH
13:01:43
IS BASICALLY LIKE CITY
13:01:46
IMPOSED REQUIREMENTS FOR
13:01:47
INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED TO THE
13:01:49
HOUSING, AND OF THAT, ABOUT 6
13:01:51
MILLION OF IT IS IN THAT
13:01:54
COLISEUM TRANSIT VILLAGE, SO
13:01:56

I WOULD SAY ABOUT -- AND PART

13:01:58
OF THAT HOUSING -- YEAH, SO
13:02:00
ANYWAYS, SO IN TERMS OF CITY
13:02:03
IMPACT, THE BUDGET IMPACT,
13:02:04
WE'RE IN A GOOD STANDING FOR
13:02:06
THAT PIECE.
13:02:07
I CAN ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS
13:02:08
TOO.
13:02:09
>> SO, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
13:02:10
ONLY 100 MILLION DOLLARS IN
13:02:11
THE FUND AVAILABLE, IS THAT
13:02:12
CORRECT?
13:02:15

>> NO, ACTUALLY, THERE IS

13:02:18
ABOUT 400 MILLION, LAST WAS
13:02:20
130 MILLION, THIS YEAR'S
13:02:21
GOING TO BE ABOUT 400 MILLION.
13:02:24
YESTERDAY, THEY CAME OUT WITH
13:02:25
THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS,
13:02:28
THERE'S 130 APPLICATIONS FOR
13:02:29
THESE FUNDS, SO I DON'T KNOW
13:02:31
WHAT THEIR CUTOFF IS FOR
13:02:34
ASKING FOR FULL APPLICATIONS
13:02:36
BACK, BUT I THINK WE HAVE A
13:02:41
GOOD STABLE OF APPLICATIONS.
13:02:43

>> OKAY.
13:02:44
AND I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
13:02:45
THAT IS RELATED TO HOUSING AS
13:02:48
WELL, PEOPLE MAY KNOW THAT WE
13:02:54
PUT IN AN ENFORCEABLE FUNDING
13:02:55
REQUEST TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
13:02:58
FINANCE OF 45 MILLION DOLLARS
13:02:59
FOR THE BROOKLYN BASIN
13:03:01
PROJECT, THAT REQUEST WAS
13:03:02
DENIED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
13:03:04
FINANCE AND THE GOVERNOR, AND
13:03:05
SO I WANT TO KNOW IF WE FILED
13:03:10

AN APPEALS PROCESS AND WHAT

13:03:13
THE NEXT STEPS ARE UNDER
13:03:15
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE
13:03:18
AFFORDABLE FUNDING DOLLARS
13:03:19
FOR THE COMMITMENTS THAT WERE
13:03:21
MADE FOR THE BROOKLYN BASIN
13:03:22
DEVELOPMENT AND FOR THE
13:03:24
NEIGHBORS IN THE AREA.
13:03:39
>> THERE IS NO FORMAL APPEALS
13:03:42
PROCESS ON A FINAL AND
13:03:44
CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION,
13:03:45
HOWEVER, THERE IS ON THE ROPS
13:03:47

AND THIS IS ALSO ON THE ROPS,

13:03:50
SO WE ARE PURSUING THAT MEET
13:03:52
AND CONFER PROCESS, WE'VE
13:03:53
SUBMITTED OUR REQUEST AND
13:03:55
WE'LL SCHEDULE A MEET AND
13:03:56
CONFER SESSION.
13:03:57
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL
13:03:59
FRANKLY ACCOMPLISH VERY MFP.
13:04:01
THERE'S SOME HIGH LEVEL
13:04:02
DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE TAKING
13:04:04
PLACE BETWEEN CITY STAFF AND
13:04:07
STATE OFFICIALS AND WE'LL SEE
13:04:09

WHAT HAPPENS THERE, AND THEN

13:04:10
WE'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER A
13:04:14
VARIETY OF ALTERNATIVES
13:04:15
INCLUDING LITIGATION POSSIBLY
13:04:17
IF THOSE DISCUSSIONS DON'T
13:04:20
GET ANYWHERE.
13:04:21
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT
13:04:23
I FIND IT VERY DISAPPOINTING
13:04:26
THAT ALL THE TAXING ENTITIES
13:04:27
THAT ARE PART OF THE FORMER
13:04:30
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES ALL
13:04:32
AGREE TO HAVE THEIR PART OF
13:04:34

THE TAXING INCREMENT GO INTO

13:04:37
THIS BROOKLYN BASIN PROJECT
13:04:37
AND FOR THE GOVERNOR AND FOR
13:04:40
THE STATE TO DENY THAT
13:04:43
REQUEST IS BEYOND ME, AND SO
13:04:44
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE ALL
13:04:46
THE TAXING ENTITIES TO SAY,
13:04:48
YES, WE NEED TO BUILD
13:04:50
AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCLUDING
13:04:51
PERALTA UNIFIED, AC
13:04:53
TRANSIT AND ALL OF THEM
13:04:57
SAYING, YES, USE OUR TAX
13:04:58

INCREMENT TO BUILD HOUSING

13:05:00
AND THE CITY DENIED THAT, SO
13:05:02
I HOPE WHATEVER WE SOURCES WE
13:05:04
HAVE AS A CITY TO PURSUE THAT
13:05:07
AND WHATEVER LITIGATION IS
13:05:10
NEEDED.
13:05:15
>> VICE-MAYOR CAMPBELL
13:05:17
WASHINGTON?
13:05:18
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR KALB.
13:05:22
I JUST NOTICED ON THE
13:05:25
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE THAT THE
13:05:27
[INAUDIBLE] PROVIDED TWO
13:05:28

BILLS, WHILE THEY LISTED

13:05:29
SEVERAL BILLS, TWO THAT I WAS
13:05:33
INTERESTED IN, SB1000 ON THE
13:05:35
GENERAL PLAN, VERNAL JUSTICE
13:05:36
PIECE AND THE SECOND ONE IS
13:05:38
AB1707 ON PUBLIC RECORDS, I
13:05:41
JUST WONDERED IF SOMEONE
13:05:42
COULD GET ME MORE INFORMATION.
13:05:43
I LOOKED UP THE SUMMARY BUT I
13:05:45
WOULD BE INTERESTED TO JUST
13:05:48
KNOW FROM TPA IF THEY HAVE
13:05:50
AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THOSE
13:05:51

COSTS WOULD BE TO THE CITY.

13:05:53
I CAN'T QUITE FROM THE
13:05:55
SUMMARIES, I CAN'T QUITE TELL
13:05:57
EXACTLY WHAT THE IMPACT OF
13:05:59
THE NEW ENVIRONMENTAL
13:06:00
ASSESSED FEES OF THE GENERAL
13:06:01
PLAN WOULD BE, SO I WOULD
13:06:03
JUST LIKE TO GET MORE
13:06:03
INFORMATION ON THAT.
13:06:06
>> WE CAN DEFINITELY WORK
13:06:06
WITH SOMEONE ON THAT.
13:06:07
>> OKAY, THANK YOU.
13:06:09

>> I CAN PROVIDE A LITTLE

13:06:11
INFORMATION, THE LEAGUE OF
13:06:17
CITIES DISCUSSED SB1000 AT
13:06:18
LENGTH LAST WEEK AT OUR
13:06:19
COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND THERE
13:06:21
WAS ATTENDANCE, THIS BILL AS
13:06:23
CURRENTLY WRITTEN WOULD
13:06:24
REQUIRE A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL
13:06:26
JUSTICE ELEMENT OF OUR
13:06:27
GENERAL PLAN WHICH COULD BE
13:06:30
COSTLY DEPENDING ON THE SIZE
13:06:32
OF THE CITY OF COURSE.
13:06:36

I SUGGESTED THAT IN ADDITION

13:06:38
TO CLARIFYING SOME
13:06:40
DEFINITIONS THAT IF THIS BILL
13:06:41
MOVES FORWARD AND THERE'S
13:06:43
SOME POSITIVE ASPECTS TO THIS
13:06:44
BILL, THAT IT ALLOW LOCAL
13:06:47
JURISDICTIONS TO EITHER DO IT
13:06:48
INDEPENDENT -- I'M SORRY, A
13:06:50
STAND ALONE ENVIRONMENTAL
13:06:50
JUSTICE ELEMENT OR TO TAKE
13:06:52
THE VERY SAME THINGS THAT
13:06:53
THEY WOULD WANT TO BE DONE IN
13:06:55

THIS ELEMENT AND BLEND THOSE

13:06:56
INTO THE EXISTING ELEMENTS AS
13:06:58
AN OPTION, WHICH WOULD BE A
13:07:00
-- PROBABLY A LESS COSTLY
13:07:02
OPTION WHILE STILL GETTING
13:07:02
THE INFORMATION OUT THERE.
13:07:05
SO, THAT WAS JUST A THOUGHT I
13:07:07
PUT FORWARD, WE'LL SEE WHAT
13:07:09
THE AUTHOR DOES, BUT IT'S
13:07:10
HARD TO GAUGE THE COST
13:07:12
BECAUSE IT WILL VARY FROM
13:07:13
CITY TO CITY.
13:07:14

>> THE PIECE THAT WAS

13:07:17
INTERESTING TO ME WAS IT WAS
13:07:18
TALKING ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
13:07:19
JUSTICE BUT IT WAS ALSO
13:07:20
TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
13:07:22
ENGAGEMENT ASPECT OF THAT.
13:07:23
IS IT A SEPARATE COMMUNITY
13:07:27
ENGAGEMENT ASPECT AROUND
13:07:27
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE OR ARE
13:07:29
YOU SAYING THAT WHATEVER
13:07:31
PROCESS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
13:07:32
WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, THAT
13:07:33

PIECE WOULD BE FOLDED INTO

13:07:35
THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
13:07:35
PROCESS ON THAT, I WAS TRYING
13:07:37
TO FIGURE OUT IF IT'S WHOLE
13:07:41
SEPARATE ISSUE AROUND
13:07:42
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE?
13:07:43
>> I BELIEVE THE BILL WANTS
13:07:46
TO REQUIRE -- THE SPONSORS
13:07:48
WANT TO REQUIRE EXPENSIVE
13:07:50
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
13:07:51
AS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
13:07:55
ELEMENT IS IN PREPARATION
13:07:57

WHICH MAKES SENSE I GUESS, SO

13:07:59
THAT DID NOT COME UP FOR
13:08:01
DISCUSSION, IT WAS WHETHER IT
13:08:02
SHOULD BE A STAND ALONE
13:08:04
ELEMENT OR WHETHER IT CAN BE
13:08:05
BLENDED INTO THE EXISTING
13:08:07
ELEMENTS WHILE STILL GETTING
13:08:10
THE INFORMATION PUT FORWARD.
13:08:13
OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON
13:08:15
THE STATE AND FEDERAL BUDGET
13:08:17
UPDATE?
13:08:17
OKAY, I NEED A MOTION TO
13:08:18

ACCEPT THE REPORT.

13:08:20
MOVED AND SECOND, ALL IN
13:08:22
FAVOR, AYE, OKAY, NEXT -- ANY
13:08:24
SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM?
13:08:26
NO?
NEXT ITEM, PLEASE.
13:08:27
>> ITEM 4 WAS REMOVED FROM
13:08:30
THE AGENDA.
13:08:30
ITEM 5, A RESOLUTION
13:08:33
ESTABLISHING A CITY COUNCIL
13:08:35
POLICY TO WIDELY PUBLICIZE
13:08:36
THE AVAILABILITY OF
13:08:37
LOW-INCOME TAX REFUNDS TO THE

13:08:38
PUBLIC AND THERE IS ONE
13:08:43
SPEAKER.
13:08:44
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT
13:08:44
MCELHANEY, DID YOU WANT TO
13:08:45
PRESENT ON THIS?
13:08:47
>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE,
13:08:47
THIS IS TO ME JUST A WAY OF
13:08:51
ALERTING OUR PUBLIC TO THE
13:08:52
FACT THAT WE HAVE TAX REBATES
13:08:54
PARTICULARLY AVAILABLE TO
13:08:55
THOSE WHO ARE LOW-INCOME.
13:08:57
THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS DONE

13:08:58
THIS AND USED THE PLATFORM OF
13:09:00
THE MEETING TO HELP PUBLICIZE
13:09:04
IT AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO
13:09:05
LYNN AND OTHERS IN THE PUBLIC
13:09:07
WHO HAD SUGGESTED WE GO AHEAD
13:09:09
AND DO THIS AND MAKE THESE
13:09:12
REBATES AVAILABLE TO MAKE
13:09:15
PEOPLE AWARE THEY KNOW ABOUT
13:09:16
THEM, SO I URGE YOUR SUPPORT.
13:09:18
>> I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS,
13:09:19
COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
13:09:21
>> THANK YOU, MADAM

13:09:22
PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR
13:09:23
BRINGING THIS FORWARD, I
13:09:24
THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
13:09:26
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC FOR SURE.
MY QUESTION IS -- I'M TRYING
13:09:33
THE UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF
13:09:34
THIS AND I KNOW IN THE TITLE
13:09:36
HERE AND LOOKING AT THE
13:09:38
RESOLUTION, IT SPECIFICALLY
13:09:42
TALKS ABOUT LOW-INCOME
13:09:44
COMMUNITIES BUT MY
13:09:45
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MANY OF
13:09:47

THESE REBATES [INAUDIBLE]

13:09:49
THE PARCEL TAXES ARE GEARED
13:09:53
TOWARDS SENIOR CITIZENS
13:09:54
SPECIFICALLY AND MAYBE
13:09:55
THERE'S A DISTINCTION BETWEEN
13:09:56
SENIOR CITIZENS AND
13:09:58
LOW-INCOME, ARE WE TRYING TO
13:09:59
USE THIS AS A WAY TO MAKE
13:10:02
SURE BOTH SENIOR CITIZEN AND
13:10:03
IS LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES
13:10:05
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S THESE
13:10:08
REBATES THAT ARE AVAILABLE?
13:10:10

>> I THINK -- I KNOW FOR

13:10:12
MEASURE Z, IT SPECIFICALLY
13:10:14
CALLS OUT LOW-INCOME HOME
13:10:17
OWNERS WHO HAD [INAUDIBLE]
13:10:18
AND THAT COULD BE IN ANY OF
13:10:21
THE CENSUS TRACKS WHERE
13:10:22
PEOPLE ARE IN LOW-INCOME.
13:10:24
>> MARGARET O'BRIAN, REVENUE
13:10:25
MANAGEMENT BUREAU.
13:10:26
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK
13:10:28
AND LOOK BUT I REALIZED I
13:10:31
WALKED OFF WITHOUT MY REFUND
13:10:33

PAPER, I BELIEVE MOST OF THE

13:10:34
REBATES WE OFFER ARE
13:10:36
LOW-INCOME, I THINK IT'S THE
13:10:37
SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT DOES
13:10:38
SENIOR EXEMPTIONS AND WE
13:10:40
ARE LOW-INCOME.
13:10:41
EITHER WAY, WHATEVER NOTICING
13:10:42
REQUIREMENTS IF YOU SO CHOOSE
13:10:44
TO ADOPT THEM, WE'LL ADDRESS
13:10:45
WHAT WE REFUND.
13:10:48
>> GREAT.
13:10:49
>> THERE'S SOME -- AN
13:10:51

ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 6000 PEOPLE

13:10:53
THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR
13:10:54
THESE REBATES AND EACH YEAR,
13:10:56
WE HAVE FEWER THAN 200 THAT
13:10:57
COME IN, SO I KNOW THERE ARE
13:10:58
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
13:11:01
ENTITLED TO RELIEF THAT WAS
13:11:02
GRANTED IN THE LEGISLATION
13:11:02
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY
13:11:04
KNOW ABOUT IT.
13:11:05
>> I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
13:11:07
I FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU
13:11:10

COUNCIL PRESIDENT MCELHANEY

13:11:10
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
13:11:11
THE CITY DOES HAVE AN
13:11:13
OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT
13:11:14
WE INFORM IN ONE WAY OR
13:11:16
ANOTHER RESIDENTS WHO ARE
13:11:18
VOTING FOR THESE MEASURES
13:11:20
THAT INCLUDE A LOW-INCOME
13:11:23
EXEMPTION AND ARE NOT -- ARE
13:11:26
REMINDED ABOUT THAT OPTION, SO
13:11:28
I BELIEVE THIS REQUIRES A
13:11:30
SPECIFIC MAILING TO PROPERTY
13:11:30

OWNERS, IS THAT CORRECT?

13:11:33
DOES THIS REQUIRE AN ANNUAL
13:11:36
MAILING OR A PERIODIC MAILING
13:11:38
AND WEBSITE POSTING?
13:11:39
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST EACH
13:11:43
YEAR APPROXIMATELY?
13:11:45
DO YOU KNOW?
13:11:48
>> I DO NOT KNOW.
13:11:49
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
13:11:51
THAT WE FIND RIGHT NOW, WE'VE
13:11:53
ALL AGREED THAT OUR WEBSITE
13:11:55
COULD BE BETTER.
13:11:55

>> A LOT BERT.

13:11:57
>> A LOT BETTER.
13:12:01
IT'S CURRENTLY [INAUDIBLE]
13:12:03
FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE
13:12:05
CAN ACCESS THIS BENEFIT, SO
13:12:06
IN PASSING THIS, WE'RE IN
13:12:09
FULL AUTHORITY FROM OUR
13:12:10
TERRIFIC ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM
13:12:11
TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO
13:12:14
ADVERTISE THIS MEETING TODAY
13:12:15
TAKING THIS ACTION, HAVING IT
13:12:17
REFERENCED AT THE COUNCIL
13:12:19

MEETING WILL HELP PUBLICIZE

13:12:20
IN ADDITION TO HAVING UPDATES
13:12:22
ON THE WEBSITE AND THE
13:12:23
PARTICULAR MAILING AT LEAST
13:12:24
ONE TIME TO THOSE HOUSEHOLDS
13:12:26
THAT WE BELIEVE WOULD BE
13:12:28
ELIGIBLE.
13:12:28
>> CHAIR KALB, WE COULD JUST
13:12:31
ASK SOME CLARIFYING
13:12:32
QUESTIONS, SO OUR READING OF
13:12:34
THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION IS
13:12:34
THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE AN
13:12:37

ANNUAL MAILING IN TERMS OF

13:12:39
THE ANNUAL LEVY THAT THE
13:12:40
COUNCIL APPROVES FOR THE TAX,
13:12:41
WE DO NOT KNOW WHO IS
13:12:45
LOW-INCOME, SO OUR
13:12:46
RECOMMENDATION IN ORDER TO
13:12:47
MEET THE SPIRIT OF THE
13:12:48
RESOLUTION WOULD BE WE WOULD
13:12:50
MAIL TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS
13:12:52
AND MS. O'BRIAN, I THINK YOU
13:12:53
HAVE A COST ESTIMATE ON WHAT
13:12:55
THAT WOULD BE ON AN ANNUAL
13:12:56

BASIS.
13:12:56
>> THE HIGH END WOULD BE
13:12:58
ABOUT 35 THOUSAND DOLLARS,
13:12:59
WE'LL TRY TO FIND PARTNERS ON
13:13:01
HIGH END, 35.
13:13:02
>> SO THAT WOULD BE, BUT IN
13:13:04
ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
13:13:05
CAPTURE EVERYBODY WITHOUT
13:13:07
KNOWING WHAT THEIR INCOME
13:13:07
LEVEL IS, WE WOULD DO AN
13:13:09
ANNUAL MAILING AND INCLUDE
13:13:11
WHATEVER INFORMATION IS
13:13:11

NECESSARY PEOPLE WOULD NEED

13:13:14
TO CLAIM WHATEVER REFUND THEY
13:13:15
MIGHT BE BELTED TO?
13:13:17
>> CAN THAT GO OUT WITH THE
13:13:18
TAXING BILLS, WE CAN PARTNER
13:13:19
WITH THE COUNTY, WITH BILLS
13:13:21
ARE INCLUDED, WE COULD
13:13:24
INCLUDE A MAILER OR RIDE
13:13:25
ALONG.
13:13:26
>> THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING
13:13:28
WE CAN EXPLORE, BUT ABSENT
13:13:30
ANY PARTNER WE WOULD HAVE TO
13:13:31

COMPLY WITH THE RESOLUTION BY

13:13:32
DOING IT OURSELVES, SO THE
13:13:33
BOTTOM LINE IS WE WOULD DO IT
13:13:35
OURSELVES TO MAKE SURE IT GOT
13:13:36
DONE.
13:13:37
>> AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
13:13:39
THAT IT'S CURRENTLY NOT ON
13:13:40
THE WEBSITE, SO THE
13:13:41
RESOLUTION WOULD BE FOR US TO
13:13:42
HAVE IT ON THE WEBSITE.
13:13:44
>> OUR WEBSITE IS IN THE
13:13:46
STATE OF [INAUDIBLE], LET'S
13:13:46

PUT IT THAT WAY, WE'RE

13:13:47
WORKING ON IT.
13:13:49
SO, YES, IT DOES NEED TO BE
13:13:50
ON THE WEBSITE AND OUR
13:13:53
WEBSITE NEEDS TO BE
13:13:55
[INAUDIBLE] DIFFERENTLY.
13:13:56
>> VICE-MAYOR CAMPBELL
13:13:57
WASHINGTON?
13:13:58
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR KALB, I
13:13:59
HAVE A QUESTION NOW BECAUSE I
13:14:03
THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS SAYING
13:14:05
A NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS
13:14:07

BY MAIL AT TIME SUCH TAX IS

13:14:10
INITIALLY LEVIED SO I
13:14:10
HUSBANDING THAT WAS MEANING
13:14:11
THAT IT WOULD BE ONE-TIME AT
13:14:13
THE BEGINNING THAT YOU ADOPT
13:14:14
THE TAX AND THEN GOING
13:14:17
FORWARD, IT'S AT SENIOR
13:14:21
CENTERS, LIBRARIES, PUBLIC
13:14:22
FACILITIES, THAT TYPE OF
13:14:23
PUBLIC NOTICING, SO I GUESS
13:14:25
IF THERE REALLY IS AN ANNUAL
13:14:26
COST TO THIS, I THINK WE NEED
13:14:28

TO CALL THAT OUT AND SAY

13:14:32
WHERE WE'RE GOING TO FUND
13:14:33
THIS FROM.
13:14:33
>> SO, EVERY YEAR, WE LEVY
13:14:35
THE TAX, WE BRING SOMETHING
13:14:37
FORTH TO COUNCIL AND THE
13:14:40
BASEMENT, JOE FRANCE AND
13:14:42
ASSOCIATES DO THE LEVYING OF
13:14:44
THE TAX, AND MS. GIBSON
13:14:47
MCELHANEY WROTE THIS, IT WAS
13:14:48
AN ANNUAL AT THE TIME WE
13:14:50
ADOPT BOTH THE ANNUAL LEVY BY
13:14:53

COUNCIL.
13:14:54
WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO PUT
13:14:55
IT IN LIBRARIES AND CUT DOWN
13:14:57
THE COST, PUT IT IN SENIOR
13:14:59
CENTERS, BUT AN EFFECTIVE WAY
13:15:00
TO GET TO THE PUBLIC IS TO
13:15:02
MAIL IT DIRECTLY TO THEIR
13:15:04
HOME.
13:15:04
>> ABSOLUTELY, I'M JUST
13:15:06
SAYING THAT IFS THAT THE
13:15:07
CASE, WE NEED TO STATE THAT
13:15:08
THIS IS ANNUAL AND THAT IT'S
13:15:11

35 THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR

13:15:12
AND STATE WHERE THAT FUNDING
13:15:14
IS COMING FROM BECAUSE I
13:15:15
WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO
13:15:17
BUSINESS OTHERWISE, WE CAN'T
13:15:18
JUST SPEND 35 THOUSAND
13:15:19
DOLLARS WITHOUT KNOWING IT
13:15:21
EVERY YEAR, SO I THINK WE
13:15:22
NEED TO DECIDE WHAT WE'RE
13:15:23
ASKING FOR AND WHERE THAT
13:15:24
MONEY'S GOING TO COME FROM IF
13:15:27
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE INTENDING
13:15:29

TO DO.
13:15:30
WAS IT YOUR INTENTION TO DO
13:15:31
IT EVERY YEAR OR AT THE
13:15:32
BEGINNING OF A TAX AND THEN
13:15:35
PUBLICIZE PUBLICLY THEREAFTER?
13:15:36
>> THE INTENTION IS ANNUAL
13:15:37
AND I THINK WHAT I WAS
13:15:38
THINKING IS WHEN THE TAX
13:15:41
BILLS ARE RECEIVED, PEOPLE
13:15:42
WOULD RECEIVE NOTICES FROM
13:15:44
THE CITY OF OAKLAND SIMILAR
13:15:45
TO WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH
13:15:47

OUSD SO THEY CAN KNOW I CAN

13:15:49
APPLY FOR THIS EXEMPTION IF
13:15:52
I'M ENTITLED TO IT.
13:15:53
>> WE WOULD HAVE TO DISCUSS
13:15:54
WITH THE COUNTY WHETHER WE
13:15:56
COULD PUT AN INSERT INTO THE
13:15:58
TAX BILL.
13:16:00
>> WE'LL GET CREATIVE, I
13:16:00
WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE HIGH
13:16:02
END IF WE NEEDED TO COMPLETE
13:16:04
IT OURSELVES.
13:16:06
>> ALSO TO THE
13:16:09

ADMINISTRATION, THE FURTHER

13:16:11
RESOLVED THAT BARS US TO
13:16:13
COORDINATE WITH THE COUNTY OF
13:16:15
ALAMEDA AND OUSD AND OTHER
13:16:17
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, I
13:16:18
THINK IT'S TRY TO COORDINATE,
13:16:21
I'M CAUTIOUS ABOUT PUTTING THAT
13:16:24
INTO A RESOLUTION, PUTTING US
13:16:26
ON THE HOOK TO INTERACT OR DO
13:16:30
SOMETHING WITH OTHER AGENCIES
13:16:31
THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY
13:16:34
CONTROL OVER, I'M A LITTLE
13:16:35

CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT.

13:16:36
>> ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE
13:16:38
FURTHER RESOLVED CLAUSE?
13:16:38
>> TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE
13:16:40
THROUGH COORDINATION?
13:16:43
>> YES, THAT -13:16:44
>> IT MAKES IT -13:16:45
>> IF WE CAN ASK FOR
13:16:47
CLARIFICATION, SO MY CONCERN
13:16:48
ABOUT THIS CLAUSE WOULD BE
13:16:49
THAT IT WOULD IMPLY THAT WE
13:16:51
WOULD BE PROVIDING NOTICE ON
13:16:53

BEHALF OF OTHER ENTITIES.

13:16:55
I WOULD BE RELUCTANT FOR US
13:16:56
TO TAKE ON THAT OBLIGATION.
13:16:57
I THINK WHAT WE SHOULD COMMIT
13:16:59
TO IS PROVIDING NOTICE ON
13:17:00
BEHALF OF THE CITY OF OAKLAND.
13:17:02
>> THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE,
13:17:03
THAT IS THE INTENT HERE.
13:17:06
IN CALLING OUT THE COST IS
13:17:07
WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT
13:17:09
STRATEGICALLY SO WE CAN
13:17:10
REDUCE OUR COST AND PIGGY
13:17:12

BACK WHERE POSSIBLE, SO WE

13:17:13
CAN AMEND THE LANGUAGE SO
13:17:14
THAT IT'S CLEAR.
13:17:16
>> SO, WE'LL WORK WITH THE
13:17:18
CITY ATTORNEY ON CLARIFYING
13:17:19
THAT.
13:17:21
>> YES.
13:17:21
>> PRIOR TO THE -- OR A
13:17:25
SUPPLEMENTAL?
13:17:25
>> YES.
13:17:26
>> ARE THERE PUBLIC SPEAKERS
13:17:27
ON THIS?
13:17:29

>> ASSATA OLUGBALA.

13:17:33
>> WELCOME.
>> JUST WANTED TO BRING TO
13:17:40
YOUR ATTENTION, SINCE THIS IS
13:17:41
A PUBLIC NOTICE, IT FALLS
13:17:43
UNDER THE EQUAL ACCESS
13:17:44
ORDINANCE AND HAVING THAT IN
13:17:46
MIND, THIS IS A COST COMPONENT I
13:17:48
WOULD SAY WOULD HAVE TO BE
13:17:51
INCLINES TO PROVIDE NOTICES
13:17:52
TO OUT OF THE 150 LANGUAGE AND
13:17:54
ONLY THE TWO LANGUAGES THAT
13:17:56
YOU RECOGNIZED THROUGH THIS

13:18:01
ORDINANCE, SO WAS GOING TO BE
13:18:02
THE COST BASED ON THE EQUAL
13:18:05
ACCESS ORDINANCE, THE OTHER
13:18:06
QUESTION IS WHAT IS GOING TO
13:18:07
BE THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE WHO
13:18:09
DON'T SPEAK SPANISH OR
13:18:11
CHINESE TO GET A NOTICE
13:18:14
RELATIVE TO BEING AWARE OF
13:18:17
THIS PARTICULAR INITIATIVE?
13:18:20
>> THANK YOU.
13:18:24
AND THE REVENUE DIVISION WILL
13:18:25
TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

13:18:27
THANK YOU.
ANYMORE QUESTIONS HERE?
13:18:29
DO I HAVE A MOTION?
13:18:30
>> SO MOVED.
13:18:31
>> MOVED.
13:18:32
YES, COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN,
13:18:35
ANOTHER QUESTION.
13:18:36
>> SO, I'M JUST WONDERING,
13:18:38
THIS IS A BUDGET QUESTION AS
13:18:40
WELL AND I APPRECIATE AGAIN
13:18:44
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD, DO
13:18:45
YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE, DOES
13:18:47

THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT HAVE

13:18:48
AN ESTIMATE WHAT THE IMPACT
13:18:48
WOULD BE TO THE BUDGET ON AN
13:18:52
ANNUAL BASIS OR FOR THOSE
13:18:54
PARTICULAR LINE ITEM,
13:18:55
LIGHTING, MEASURE Z?
13:18:57
>> NO.
13:18:57
>> NO?
13:18:58
>> I CAN GET ONE, RIGHT NOW,
13:19:01
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
13:19:02
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE
13:19:04
HELPFUL TO HAVE THAT IN THE
13:19:06

SUPPLEMENTAL.
13:19:07
>> HERE'S A QUESTION, IS IT
13:19:09
POSSIBLE FOR SOME OR ALL OF
13:19:10
THESE BALLOT MEASURES FOR THE
13:19:12
COST TO DO THIS TO COME OUT
13:19:14
OF THE BALLOT -- OUT OF THE
13:19:17
FUNDS RAISED FROM THAT BALLOT
13:19:19
MEASURE?
13:19:19
IS THAT A REASONABLE
13:19:21
ADMINISTRATIVE COST OF THE
13:19:22
BALLOT MEASURE ITSELF?
13:19:23
>> WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT,
13:19:25

YEAH.
13:19:27
>> OKAY.
13:19:28
OKAY, AND SO THE MOTION -13:19:30
YOU HAVE A MOTION ALREADY ON
13:19:31
THE TABLE AND THAT'S AS WE'VE
13:19:34
SUGGESTED TO BE CLARIFIED AND
13:19:35
AMENDED, AND A SECOND.
13:19:37
SECOND, OKAY, ALL IN FAVOR,
13:19:38
SAY AYE.
13:19:40
AYE.
13:19:40
ALRIGHT, THIS GOES FORWARD
13:19:41
AND BECAUSE ITS GOING TO
13:19:43

BE AMENDED, I'LL HAVE THAT ON

13:19:46
NON-CONSENT.
13:19:46
OKAY, NEXT ITEM, PLEASE.
13:19:48
>> ITEM 6, A RESOLUTION
13:19:49
HOEING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR
13:19:51
TO EXECUTE A THIRD AMENDMENT
13:19:53
TO THE SUBLEASE AND OPERATING
13:19:55
AGREEMENT WITH OAKLAND GOLF
13:19:57
LLC TO RESTRUCTURE THE
13:19:59
MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE RENT
13:20:00
AMOUNT TO 400 THOUSAND
13:20:02
DOLLARS, AMEND THE
13:20:03

PERCENTAGE RENT OF GROSS

13:20:06
REVENUE TO 13.5% AND MODIFY
13:20:07
THE SUBLEASE TERM TO 22
13:20:10
YEARS, AND RESOLVE PAYMENT OF
13:20:12
DELINQUENT RENT, THERE IS ONE
13:20:15
SPEAKER.
13:20:17
>> GOOD MORNING, CHAIRPERSON,
13:20:18
MEMBERS TO HAVE COMMITTEE, MY
13:20:21
NAME'S STEPHANIE HOM, YOUR
13:20:22
INTERIM PARKS AND REC
13:20:23
DIRECTOR, AS THE TITLE WAS
13:20:25
JUST READ, WE ARE HERE FOR A
13:20:28

RESOLUTION, A PROPOSED
13:20:29
RESOLUTION FOR YOU TO
13:20:29
CONSIDER FORWARD TOING THE
13:20:31
COUNCIL, THAT WOULD BE A
13:20:32
THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE
13:20:34
SUBLEASE WITH OAKLAND GOLF
13:20:35
THAT RUNS THE METROPOLITAN
13:20:38
GOLF LINKS GOLF COURSE, IT
13:20:40
WOULD RESTRUCTURE THE MINIMUM
13:20:42
ANNUAL GUARANTEE RENT FROM
13:20:43
THE CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT OF
13:20:45
ABOUT 625 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
13:20:48

400 THOUSAND DOLLARS, WHICH

13:20:50
IS HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT
13:20:52
TEMPORARY RENT RELEASE
13:20:53
PAYMENT OF 300 THOUSAND
13:20:56
DOLLARS.
13:20:57
IN ADDITION, THE AMENDMENT
13:20:58
WOULD RESTRUCTURE THE
13:21:00
PERCENTAGE RENT OF GROSS
13:21:01
REVENUE FOR GOLF ACTIVITIES
13:21:04
FROM 20% TO 13.5%.
13:21:05
IT WOULD ALSO MODIFY THE TERM
13:21:08
OF THE LEASE FROM A POTENTIAL
13:21:11

27 YEARS TO 22 YEARS, AND

13:21:13
FINALLY WE WOULD ENTER INTO A
13:21:15
SEGMENT AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE
13:21:18
THE EXISTING DELINQUENT RENT
13:21:21
OF APPROXIMATELY 566 THOUSAND
13:21:22
DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE PAID
13:21:24
OVER A 48 MONTH PERIOD.
13:21:27
BY WAY OF BACKGROUND, THE
13:21:29
METROPOLITAN GOLF LINKS IS AN
13:21:31
18 HOLE GOLF COURSE LOCATED
13:21:33
AT THE CORNER OF THE OAKLAND
13:21:35
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THE
13:21:36

CITY OF OAKLAND LEASES THIS

13:21:37
PROPERTY FROM THE PORT OF
13:21:41
OAKLAND AND WE'VE IN TURN
13:21:43
HAVE SUBLEASED IT TO OAKLAND
13:21:47
GOLF SINCE 2003 TO RUN THE
13:21:49
GOLF -- PROVIDE FOR THE GOLF
13:21:51
COURSE, RUN THE GOLF COURSE
13:21:52
AND FROM THAT TIME ON, THE
13:21:55
OAKLAND GOLF HAS INVESTED
13:21:58
ABOUT 9.5 MILLION TO CONSTRUCT THE
13:22:00
GOLF COURSE, THE CLUBHOUSE
13:22:02
AND OTHER RELATED FACILITIES.
13:22:04

THE RENT STRUCTURE OF THE

13:22:07
CURRENT SUBLEASE IS FOR
13:22:08
OAKLAND GOLF TO PAY EITHER A
13:22:12
MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEED
13:22:15
RENT OR AN AGREED UPON
13:22:17
PERCENTAGE RENT BASED ON
13:22:18
ACTIVITIES AT THE GOLF COURSE
13:22:22
INCLUDING GOLF ACTIVITIES,
13:22:24
FOOD OR MERCHANDISE,
13:22:26
WHICHEVER IS GREATER ON AN
13:22:30
ANNUAL BASIS.
13:22:30
SINCE 2008, THERE HAS BEEN A
13:22:34

TEMPORARY RENT RELIEF BECAUSE

13:22:36
THERE'S DOWNTURN IN THE
13:22:37
ECONOMY AND THE MOUNTED
13:22:39
ACTIVITIES AT THE GOLF
13:22:40
COURSE, SO FOR A PERIOD OF
13:22:45
SIX YEARS THROUGH 2014, THE
13:22:46
GOLF COURSE HAS BEEN PAYING
13:22:49
HALF OF THE MINIMUM GUARANTEED
13:22:50
RENT, SO 50%, AND OF THE
13:22:54
MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE, 50%
13:22:54
OF THAT GOES TO THE CITY AND
13:22:56
THE OTHER 50% GOES TO THE
13:23:00

[INAUDIBLE], AS OF JULY 1,
13:23:03
2014, THE PAYMENT STRUCTURE
13:23:05
WENT BACK UP TO THE
13:23:07
CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT WHICH
13:23:08
AGAIN IS APPROXIMATED ABOUT
13:23:10
625 THOUSAND, BUT THEY HAVE
13:23:12
NOT BEEN ABLE PAY THAT
13:23:13
AMOUNT, SO THEY'VE BEEN
13:23:15
CONTINUING TO PAY 50%, WE'VE
13:23:16
BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH
13:23:18
THEM ALONG WITH THE PORT OF
13:23:19
OAKLAND, THE CITY OF OAKLAND
13:23:21

AND OAKLAND GOLF SINCE THAT

13:23:24
TIME AND WE HAVE REACHED THIS
13:23:26
AGREEMENT WHICH AGAIN WOULD
13:23:28
RESTRUCTURE OR RESET THE
13:23:30
MINIMUM ANNUAL RENT AMOUNT OF
13:23:32
400 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ALSO
13:23:35
REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE RENT
13:23:38
DOWN TO 13.5 WHICH IS
13:23:40
ESSENTIALLY THE BREAK EVEN
13:23:41
POINT, SO ANYTHING THAT THEY
13:23:43
WOULD COLLECT IN REVENUE
13:23:45
ABOVE 400 THOUSAND DOLLARS,
13:23:46

WE WOULD HAVE ADVANTAGE OF

13:23:48
THAT.
13:23:50
FROM A FISCAL IMPACT
13:23:52
STANDPOINT, AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN
13:23:54
COLLECTING ABOUT 300 THOUSAND
13:23:55
DOLLARS A YEAR, AND AGAIN,
13:23:56
HALF OF THAT COMES FROM

THE

13:24:01
CITY OF OAKLAND, THE OTHER
13:24:02
HALF GOES TO THE PORT, THAT
13:24:05
WOULD GUARANTEE THAT MONEY,
13:24:06
SO IT WOULD BE ABOUT 50
13:24:08
THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE PER
13:24:10

YEAR, IN ADDITION, OVER THE

13:24:12
NEXT 48 MONTH PERIOD, WE
13:24:13
WOULD BE COLLECTING THE
13:24:15
DELINQUENT RENT THAT'S
13:24:17
ESTIMATED NOW AT 556 THOUSAND
13:24:18
AND THAT'S BASED ON THE
13:24:21
ORIGINAL CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT.
13:24:23
I WANT TO ALSO MENTION THAT
13:24:26
ALL THE REVENUE GOES INTO OUR
13:24:30
GOLF COURSE FUND THAT IS USED
13:24:34
FOR CITYWIDE GOLF ACTIVITIES
13:24:35
AND HELPS PAY FOR ABA
13:24:36

POSITION AND A HALF IN THE

13:24:38
OAKLAND PARKS AND REC
13:24:40
DEPARTMENT FOR GOLF
13:24:41
ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH, IT ALSO
13:24:42
GOES BACK IN TERMS OF
13:24:46
INVESTMENTS TO CHABOT GOLF
13:24:49
COURSE JUST DID -- JUST ABOUT
13:24:51
FINISHING THE DRIVING RANGE
13:24:52
THERE, SO THE FUND BALANCE
13:24:54
THAT'S ACCUMULATED OVER TIME
13:24:55
GOES BACK TO SUPPORT SOME OF
13:24:57
THOSE, THE CURRENT BALANCE IN
13:24:59

THAT FUND AS OF MARCH 30TH IS

13:25:03
APPROXIMATELY [INAUDIBLE],
13:25:03
WITH THAT, I WILL END MY
13:25:05
REPORT AND ANSWER ANY
13:25:06
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
13:25:07
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
13:25:08
COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCIL PRESIDENT MCELHANEY?
13:25:12
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR KALB,
13:25:14
GOOD MORNING, MS. HOM.
13:25:16
ONE, I WANT TO APPRECIATE
13:25:17
THAT YOU ALL HAVE REALLY
13:25:19
STUCK AT THE TABLE AND WENT

13:25:20
BACK TO RENEGOTIATE WHEN THE
13:25:22
FIRST TERM COMING FROM THE
13:25:25
MANAGEMENT GROUP WAS NOT
13:25:26
ACCEPTABLE AND I RECOGNIZE
13:25:28
THAT IN THE WORK PRODUCT.
13:25:29
I DID HAVE ONE CONSTITUENT
13:25:31
E-MAIL ME WITH RESPECT TO HOW
13:25:33
WE CHOSE THIS OPERATOR AND
13:25:34
WHETHER OR NOT THE TERM IS
13:25:36
SUFFICIENT BECAUSE THE
13:25:37
QUESTION IS NOT ONLY JUST
13:25:40
ABOUT THE -- WE CAN SEE THE

13:25:42
HISTORIC LOSSES OF REVENUES,
13:25:43
THAT A LOSS OF REVENUE
13:25:45
BECAUSE THIS MANAGEMENT
13:25:48
COMPANY IS INCAPABLE OF
13:25:49
GROWING THE KIND OF BOOKINGS
13:25:51
OR HOWEVER GOLF WORKS?
13:25:53
>> THERE WAS A STUDY DONE AND
13:25:55
IT'S MENTIONED IN THE REPORT,
13:25:57
BACK IN MAY OF 2013,
13:26:01
INDEPENDENT STUDY LOOKING AT
13:26:03
GOLF COURSES IN GENERAL, AND
13:26:08
THAT STUDY CONCLUDED AND LED

13:26:11
THE COMPANY OAKLAND GOLF TO
13:26:14
PROPOSE EVEN A LOWER AMOUNT
13:26:15
THAN WHAT THEY WERE PAYING.
13:26:17
THAT TO ME INDICATES THE
13:26:19
MARKET WASN'T SUSTAINING -13:26:21
ISN'T SUSTAINING THE AMOUNT
13:26:22
OF ACTIVITY THAT WAS EXPECTED.
13:26:24
THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY HAS
13:26:25
INVESTED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT
13:26:26
OF MONEY INTO THE GOLF
13:26:29
COURSE, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S
13:26:30
HARD TO SAY -- THAT'S NOT

13:26:33
NECESSARILY TYPICAL OF OTHER
13:26:35
ENTITIES WHETHER THEY WOULD
13:26:36
INVEST THE SAME AMOUNT.
>> THANK YOU.
13:26:40
>> COLLEAGUES, ANY ADDITIONAL
13:26:43
QUESTIONS?
13:26:43
COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
13:26:45
>> SO, I THINK GOLF COURSES
13:26:48
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE
13:26:50
STRUGGLING AND CERTAINLY
13:26:51
THAT'S NOT -- IT'S NO
13:26:53
DIFFERENT HERE IN OAKLAND OR
13:26:54

IN THE BAY AREA.

13:26:55
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE
13:26:57
SEEN OTHER GOLF COURSES DO TO
13:27:01
ATTRACT A DIFFERENT CLIENTELE
13:27:03
IF YOU WILL IS THEY HAVE
13:27:05
OTHER INTERIM USES FOR THEIR
13:27:07
GOLF COURSES AS WELL, SO IN
13:27:09
ADDITION TO THE REGULAR 18
13:27:13
HOLES, THERE'S THINGS SUCH AS
13:27:15
FOOT GOLF THAT OTHER ENTITIES
13:27:17
I KNOW HAVE MARKETED DOWN IN
13:27:20
SAN DIEGO, IT SORT OF BRINGS
13:27:22

A DIFFERENT CROWD TO GOLF

13:27:23
COURSES, SO I'M SURE THAT
13:27:27
OAKLAND GOLF IS LOOKING AT
13:27:29
DIFFERENT WAYS TO INCREASE
13:27:30
THEIR REVENUE, BUT I WOULD
13:27:32
JUST RECOMMEND THAT TO LOOK
13:27:35
AT OTHER USES, SORT OF
13:27:38
NON-TRADITIONAL USES OF GOLF
13:27:39
COURSES SUCH AS FOOT GOLF
13:27:41
WHICH I FIND TO BE A LOT OF
13:27:43
FUN AND ENJOYABLE, SO JUST
13:27:44
PUTTING THAT OUT THERE.
13:27:48

THANK YOU.
13:27:49
>> VICE-MAYOR CAMPBELL
13:27:49
WASHINGTON?
13:27:50
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CAL,
13:27:51
THANK YOU, MS. HOM AND I
13:27:53
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THE
13:27:53
INFORMATION ON THE FUNDS THAT
13:27:54
I ASKED FOR.
13:27:56
I ALSO JUST WANTED TO
13:27:58
RECOGNIZE YOUR GOOD WORK AND
13:27:59
THE GOOD WORK OF CITY STAFF
13:28:01
AND SPORT STAFF TO COME
13:28:03

TOGETHER AND GET TO AN

13:28:04
AGREEMENT, I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
13:28:05
LONG TIME COMING.
13:28:06
I WANTED TO ASK IF THERE'S A
13:28:09
SPECIFIC PART OF THE CONTRACT
13:28:12
RELATED TO THEIR WORK WITH
13:28:13
YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THEY DO
13:28:15
HAVE A STRONG YOUTH PROGRAM,
13:28:16
BUT I WONDERED, IS THAT
13:28:17
SOMETHING WE REQUIRE IN THE
13:28:19
RELATIONSHIP OR IS IT
13:28:20
SOMETHING THEY DO BECAUSE
13:28:21

THEY CARE ABOUT OAKLAND YOUTH?

13:28:22
>> AND I DO KNOW THEY DO DO A
13:28:24
LOT OF WORK WITH YOUTH, I'M
13:28:26
GOING TO DEFER AND ASK IF
13:28:29
ROBERT GOBULA KNOWS.
>> THANK YOU.
13:28:37
>> ROBERT, ADMINISTRATIVE
13:28:37
SERVICES MANAGER, PARKS AND
13:28:38
RECREATION, I DON'T OFF THE
13:28:40
TOP OF MY MIND REMEMBER IF
13:28:42
THERE'S A SPECIFIC SECTION
13:28:43
FOR YOUTH ACTIVITIES, THE
13:28:45
REASON THIS PARTNER WAS

13:28:47
SELECTED BACK IN 2001 WAS
13:28:48
BECAUSE THERE'S STRONG PUBLIC
13:28:50
ENGAGEMENT AND THEY'RE
13:28:52
CURRENTLY DOING PUBLIC
13:28:52
ENGAGEMENT NOW AND HAVE BEEN
13:28:53
DOING IT SINCE THE LIFE OF
13:28:55
THE CONTRACT.
13:28:56
>> OKAY, ONE OF THE REASONS
13:28:57
-- THANK YOU, ONE OF THE
13:28:59
REASONS WHY I WANTED TO HEAR
13:29:01
ABOUT THE GOLF FUNDING, WHAT
13:29:04
THE FUND BALANCE WAS I WANTED

13:29:05
TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF
13:29:07
WHAT WE BELIEVE WE NEED FOR
13:29:10
MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP OF THE
13:29:11
GOLF COURSES IN THAT FUND AND
13:29:13
I WAS INTERESTED TO HEAR THAT
13:29:14
THERE'S ONE AND A HALF FTE'S
13:29:17
PAID FOR OUT OF THE FUND AND
13:29:20
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN
13:29:24
CONSIDERING IN INCREASING
13:29:24
THAT IF THE FUMING WOULD GO
13:29:27
TO POSITIONS THAT WOULD GET
13:29:29
MORE YOUNG PEOPLE USING THE

13:29:30
GOLF COURSES BECAUSE I REALLY
13:29:32
DO -- I MEAN, IT'S A SPORT
13:29:36
THAT TRADITIONALLY,
13:29:37
HISTORICALLY, STUDENTS OF COLOR
13:29:38
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS
13:29:40
AND WE HAVE THESE GOLF
13:29:41
COURSES HERE IN OAKLAND.
13:29:43
IT' A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY
13:29:45
TO BUILD A WHOLE NEW
13:29:48
GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO
13:29:49
HISTORICALLY WOULD NOT BE
13:29:51
ABLE TO AFFORD TO ENJOY THIS

13:29:54
SPORT, AND I THINK BECAUSE WE
13:29:57
HAVE THESE, WE SHOULD ENSURE
13:29:59
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD BE
13:30:00
ABLE TO USE THEM, I WOULD BE
13:30:04
CONSIDERING ADDITIONAL
13:30:04
POSITION, SUPPORT TO MAKE
13:30:08
THOSE KIND OF POSITIONS
13:30:11
HAPPEN, IF THEY WERE
13:30:16
[INAUDIBLE].
13:30:17
>> COUNCILMEMBER CAMPBELL
13:30:18
WASHINGTON, THOSE COMMENTS
13:30:18
AND HUSBANDING ARE

13:30:19
APPRECIATED, I HAVE BEEN
13:30:21
ENGAGED IN SEVERAL
13:30:23
DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR PRIMARY
13:30:24
EMPLOYEE WOULD WORKS ON THE
13:30:26
ACCE GOLF PROGRAM AND WE'VE
13:30:28
BEEN BRAINSTORMING DIFFERENT
13:30:29
WAYS TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT
13:30:32
OF YOUNG PEOPLE WE SERVE IN
13:30:33
THIS COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT
13:30:35
TO GOLF ACTIVITIES, AND WE
13:30:36
WILL DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK
13:30:39
AT THAT.

13:30:40
THERE'S SOME CONSIDERABLE
13:30:41
BARRIERS, BUT AGAIN, WE ARE
13:30:43
DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN THINKING
13:30:44
ABOUT THIS AND HE'S VERY
13:30:46
FOCUSED ON IT AND THE WHOLE
13:30:47
OBJECTIVE BEING TO INCREASE
13:30:49
THE NUMBER OF YOUTH THAT WE
13:30:50
SERVE IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH
13:30:53
GOLF ACTIVITIES.
13:30:54
>> OKAY.
13:30:55
I WOULD MOVE THE REPORT AND I
13:30:56
WOULD ALSO JUST LIKE TO ASK

13:30:57
FOR AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT
13:30:58
TO COME BACK TO THE LIFE
13:31:01
ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE ABOUT
13:31:02
THAT, ABOUT WAYS THAT WE
13:31:03
COULD BEEF UP THE PROGRAM,
13:31:04
THANK YOU.
13:31:05
>> WE HAVE A MOTION, DO WE
13:31:07
HAVE A SECOND?
13:31:08
>> YOU HAVE A SPEAKER.
>> SPEAKERS, PLEASE.
>> TOM ISAAC.
13:31:19
>> WELCOME.
13:31:20
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'M

13:31:23
TOM ISAAC, I'M THE PRESIDENT
13:31:25
OF OAKLAND GOLF LLC AND ALSO
13:31:27
THE FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF
13:31:32
CORSGO WHICH IS THE
13:31:34
MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
13:31:34
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
13:31:35
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
13:31:38
VICE-MAYOR, I VERY MUCH
13:31:40
APPRECIATE THE EMPHASIS
13:31:42
YOU'VE GIVEN TO A NEED TO
13:31:43
RECRUIT YOUTH, IT'S BEEN A
13:31:45
FUNDAMENTAL TENANT OF OUR

13:31:46
COMMITMENT AS A COMPANY AND
13:31:49
WITH RESPECT TO PARTNER IN
13:31:50
OAKLAND FOR THE LAST 15
13:31:53
YEARS, WE ON OUR OWN
13:31:56
DEVELOPED A PROGRAM THAT'S
13:31:58
BEEN RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY
13:31:59
THAT JUST DOESN'T TEACH GOLF
13:32:00
BUT BRINGING KIDS ON TO THE
13:32:02
GOLF COURSE TO UNDERSTAND THE
13:32:04
GREEN INDUSTRY AND THE MYRIAD
13:32:06
WAYS IN WHICH IT CAN PROVIDE
13:32:08
CAREERS AND EMPLOYMENT.

13:32:10
AGAIN, A NATIONALLY
13:32:11
RECOGNIZED PROGRAM THAT WE
13:32:13
INVENTED, WE STILL PUT FORTH.
13:32:16
WE HAVE NO ACTIVITY
13:32:17
WHATSOEVER AT OUR GOLF COURSE
13:32:20
FROM THE ACCE PROGRAM, I'VE
13:32:22
NEVER MET THE ACCE
13:32:25
COORDINATOR.
13:32:25
WE'VE PAID HUNDREDS OF
13:32:26
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THE
13:32:28
GOLF FUND, NONE OF WHICH HAS
13:32:30
COME BACK TO METROPOLITAN

13:32:33
GOLF LINKS, SO I'M AS
13:32:35
INTERESTED AS YOU ARE IN
13:32:37
THOSE RESOURCES AND I TOO
13:32:40
AGREE COMPLETELY THAT IF ANY
13:32:43
INCREMENT IS AVAILABLE,
13:32:44
FOCUSING ON BRINGING YOUTH
13:32:45
INTO THE GAME, PARTICULARLY
13:32:47
INTERCITY DISADVANTAGED YOUTH
13:32:48
IS EXACTLY WHERE I WOULD PUT
13:32:49
MY VOTE AS WELL.
13:32:52
>> DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
13:32:55
SO, WHAT DOES IT COST TO USE

13:32:58
THE FACILITY FOR 18 HOLES
13:33:00
ROUND OF GOLF?
13:33:02
>> THE PRICES VARY
13:33:04
TREMENDOUSLY, IF YOU ARE A
13:33:05
YOUTH OR A RESIDENT, IT COULD
13:33:07
BE FROM 3 TO 75 DOLLARS,
13:33:09
DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF THE
13:33:10
DAY, THE DAY OF THE WEEK, HOW
13:33:12
OLD YOU ARE, ETC., WE ATTEMPT
13:33:14
TO KEEP THE PRICES AS HIGH AS
13:33:18
POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO WE
13:33:19
DON'T HAVE A DUTY TO, IE,

13:33:24
YOUTH, OAKLAND RESIDENTS,
13:33:25
ETC..
13:33:26
IT'S ESSENTIAL WE DO SO TO
13:33:27
MAINTAIN A REVENUE STREAM
13:33:28
THAT PAYS THE RENT AND KEEPS
13:33:29
THE DOORS OPEN.
>> THANK YOU.
13:33:33

ITEM THAT WAS TABLED, IT WAS
13:34:48
PRESENTED TO YOU ON A PAST
13:34:51

13:34:54
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND

13:34:57
THE SUPPLEMENTAL PROVIDES YOU
13:34:58
THE INFORMATION.
13:34:59
THE ITEMS THAT YOU ALL
13:35:01
REQUESTED WAS PROPOSALS
13:35:03
SUBMITTED BY OTHER VENDORS,
13:35:03
THERE WERE FOUR.
13:35:05
WE HAD PARKMOBILE, WE HAD
13:35:08
MOBILE NOW, THEN PAY BY PHONE
13:35:10
AND PASSPORT PARKING, THEN
13:35:11
YOU ALSO ASKED FOR AN
13:35:14
ANALYSIS OF THE COST AND THE
13:35:17
TRUE REASON WHY WE SELECTED

13:35:19
PARKMOBILE IS THAT THEY PAID
13:35:21
FOR ALL OF THE TRANSACTIONS,
13:35:24
MERCHANT TRANSACTIONS, ALSO
13:35:26
THEY PROVIDED A DATA PLAN FOR
13:35:28

THE KEY ITEMS WERE THEY WERE
13:35:37
GOING TO PAY FOR THE MERCHANT

FEES AS WELL AS THE DATA FOR
13:35:41
THE HAND HELD, THEN YOU ALSO

13:35:44

13:35:47
JURISDICTIONS ON PAGE 3, IT
13:35:49
SHOWS THAT PARKMOBILE IS THE
13:35:51
LOWEST IN THE STATE OF
13:35:54
CALIFORNIA THAT COSTS FOR
13:35:56
TRANSACTIONS FOR THE
13:35:57
CONVENIENCE FEE THERE THE
13:35:59
CUSTOMER.
13:35:59
WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR
13:36:04
OTHER QUESTIONS.
13:36:04
>> PARKMOBILE IS PAY BY PHONE
13:36:07
FOR PARKING, IT'S BEEN HERE

13:36:08
FOR A WHILE AND EVERYONE
13:36:10
REALLY ENJOYS IT.
13:36:13
>> GREAT, I'M NOT SURE PEOPLE
13:36:15
ENJOY IT, BUT THEY APPRECIATE
13:36:17
HAVING THAT OPTION OF MAKING
13:36:19
IT EASIER TO DO WHAT THEY
13:36:20
NEED TO DO.
ANY QUESTIONS, COLLEAGUES?
13:36:24
>> I HAVE A QUESTION, YES.
13:36:26
THROUGH THE CHAIR, I'M JUST
13:36:28
CURIOUS IN OTHER
13:36:29
JURISDICTIONS, IS THE FEE
13:36:30

ADDED ON TOP OF THE BASE

13:36:32
AMOUNT THAT'S CHARGED FOR THE
13:36:34
HOURLY OR DO THEY NET IT OUT
13:36:35
OF THAT CHARGE?
13:36:38
HERE WE'RE PROPOSING THAT
13:36:39
WE'RE CHARGING IT ON TOP OF
13:36:41
WHAT THE CUSTOMERS WOULD PAY
13:36:42
AS IF THEY WERE PAYING CASH?
13:36:44
>> YES, IT'S A CONVENIENCE IN
13:36:46
WHICH THE CUSTOMER PAYS FOR
13:36:47
USING THAT APPLICATION AND
13:36:49
THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT
13:36:50

UPFRONT AS YOU GO.

13:36:52
>> AND THAT'S JUST TYPICAL?
13:36:58
>> YES.
13:36:58
>> SO, IF I COULD FOLLOW UP
13:37:01
ON THAT, SO WHETHER SOMEBODY
13:37:02
IS PAYING $2 OR $5 FOR THAT
13:37:06
METER AT THAT TIME, THEY'RE
13:37:08
GOING TO PAY 30 CENTS
13:37:10
REGARDLESS?
13:37:10
>> YES, SIR.
13:37:14
>> OKAY.
13:37:18
YES, VICE-MAYOR CAMPBELL
13:37:18

WASHINGTON?
13:37:19
>> I WAS CONFUSED BY THE WAY
13:37:20
THIS WAS WRITTEN, IT SAYS
13:37:23
CURRENTLY, THE TRANSACTION
13:37:24
FEE CHARGED TO THE CUSTOMER
13:37:26
IS 35 CENTS PER TRANSACTION?
13:37:27
>> YES.
13:37:28
>> UNDER THE PROPOSED
13:37:29
AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION
13:37:30
FEE WAS REDUCED TO 30 CENTS
13:37:32
PER TRANSACTION, MEANING IT
13:37:34
WAS REDUCED BY 5 CENTS PER
13:37:36

TRANSACTION AND NOW

13:37:37
PARKMOBILE IS PROPOSING TO
13:37:39
CHARGE THE CUSTOMER A FIXED
13:37:41
TRANSACTION FEE FOR 30 CENTS
13:37:44
PER EVERY TRANSACTION, SO IT
13:37:46
SEEMS THEY SUBTRACTED 5 BUT
13:37:47
ADDED 30 THE WAY IT'S
13:37:51
WRITTEN, EITHER I'M
13:37:51
MISUNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU'RE
13:37:52
TRYING TO CONVEY TO US OR -13:37:56
>> CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW UNDER
13:37:58
THE EXISTING AGREEMENT, IT'S
13:38:01

35 CENTS.
13:38:01
THE NEW AGREEMENT WILL BE 30
13:38:05
CENTS.
13:38:05
>> OKAY, SO IT IS 30, ITS
13:38:07
NOT 30 ON TOP ->> NO, NO.
13:38:10
>> ALRIGHT, THE WAY I WAS
13:38:11
READING IT WAS LIKE 30 ON TOP
13:38:13
OF THE 30, IT'S LIKE WHY IS
13:38:15
THAT A GOOD DEAL, OKAY.
13:38:16
AND THEN NO MATTER WHAT, IT'S
13:38:19
CAPPED AT 250 THOUSAND
13:38:20
DOLLARS, IS THAT CORRECT?

13:38:21
>> YES.
13:38:22
>> OKAY, SO EVEN IF THE 30
13:38:24
CENTS PER TRANSACTION, IF IT
13:38:26
GROWS BEYOND 250 THOUSAND,
13:38:27
THEY STILL GET 250 THOUSAND
13:38:28
DOLLARS, IS THAT CORRECT, OR
13:38:30
IS THAT TWO SEPARATE POTS OF
13:38:33
MONEY?
13:38:34
IS THE 30 CENTS THAT GOES TO
13:38:35
THEM PART OF THE 250 THOUSAND?
13:38:37
>> YES, YES.
13:38:39
SO, WE TOOK THEIR HIGHEST

13:38:42
MONTH THAT THEY'VE EVER HAD
13:38:43
AND DID A STRAIGHT LINE AND
13:38:45
CAME UP, WE DON'T EXPECT THEM
13:38:47
TO EARN MORE THAN 250
13:38:49
THOUSAND.
13:38:49
>> IF THEY EARN LESS, THEY
13:38:50
TAKE LESS.
13:38:51
>> IT'S A STRAIGHT REVENUE
13:38:53
EQUALS EXPENSES.
13:38:54
>> OKAY.
13:38:54
>> CAN I ASK A FOLLOW-UP TO
13:38:56
THAT?

13:38:56
>> SURE.
13:38:57
>> IF THEY DO -- LET'S SAY
13:38:59
IT'S OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER AND
13:39:03
WE HIT 250 THOUSAND -13:39:04
>> WE'LL COME BACK TO SEE YOU.
13:39:06
>> ARE WE STILL COLLECTING
13:39:07
THE MONEY OF THAT?
13:39:09
>> YES, WE'LL COME BACK TO
13:39:10
SEE YOU, WE HOPE THAT WE
13:39:12
WON'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO
13:39:13
SEE YOU, 250 THOUSAND IS -13:39:15
THATS A LOT OF 30 CENT

13:39:18
TRANSACTIONS.
13:39:20
>> MY QUESTION IS, IF WE'RE
13:39:22
STILL COLLECTING MONEY AFTER
13:39:23
WE PAID THEM 250 THOUSAND AND
13:39:25
IT'S DECEMBER AND WHAT DO WE
13:39:27
DO WITH THE 30 CENTS AFTER
13:39:30
THAT?
13:39:30
>> WE NEED TO REBATE IT TO
13:39:32
THEM BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR
13:39:34
TRANSACTION FEE.
13:39:34
>> AMEND THE CONTRACT.
13:39:35
WE WOULD COME TO THE CONTRACT

13:39:37
AND AMEND THE CONTRACT
13:39:38
INCREASE THE NOT TO EXCEED
13:39:40
AMOUNT TO MATCH THE NUMBER OF
13:39:41
TRANSACTIONS THAT HAPPENED AT
13:39:43
THE 30 CENT RATE.
13:39:44
>> WE DON'T GIVE PEOPLE -13:39:48
>> STANDARD CONTRACTING
13:39:48
PRACTICE, YOU WOULDN'T WANT
13:39:50
TO HAVE A LIMITLESS CONTRACT
13:39:51
WITH ANY VENDOR.
13:39:52
>> SO, IT'S NOT WHERE AFTER
13:39:54
THEY GET 250

13:39:57
THOUSAND, PEOPLE DON'T
13:39:58
PAY ANY LONGER?
OKAY.
13:40:02
COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
13:40:03
IM SORRY, DID YOU FINISH YOUR
13:40:05
QUESTIONS?
OKAY, COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
13:40:06
>> SO, I UNDERSTAND THAT
13:40:10
REVENUE HAS DECLINED QUITE A
13:40:12
BIT FOR EXPIRED METERS IN THE
13:40:14
CITY OF OAKLAND FROM 2001, I
13:40:15
THINK IT WAS A HIGH OF MORE
13:40:18
THAN 7 MILLION DOLLARS, AND

13:40:19
LAST YEAR, IT WAS ONLY
13:40:21
3-SOMETHING, 3 MILLION
13:40:23
DOLLARS.
>> PARKING CITATIONS?
13:40:25
YES, YES, THAT'S A GOOD THING.
13:40:27
>> IT IS A GOOD THING, BUT MY
13:40:30
POINT IS WE'RE PAYING 750
13:40:32
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS
13:40:34
THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH
13:40:35
PARKMOBILE, I UNDERSTAND THE
13:40:37
NEED FOR IT, I'M WONDERING IF
13:40:38
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MAYBE
13:40:41

OPPORTUNITIES AND ENTERPRISE

13:40:42
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO DEVELOP
13:40:44
ITS OWN SORT OF PAY METHOD TO
13:40:46
COLLECT THE REVENUE AND SAVE
13:40:48
750 THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT
13:40:49
SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS
13:40:52
TECHNOLOGY ISN'T THAT
13:40:55
COMPLICATED AND IT SEEMS LIKE
13:40:57
CODE FOR AMERICA OR ONE OF
13:40:58
THESE OTHER GROUPS MIGHT BE
13:41:00
ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS AT THE
13:41:01
BENEFIT OF THE RESIDENTS OF
13:41:03

OAKLAND WITH A MUCH LOWER

13:41:04
TRANSACTION FEE THAN 30 CENTS
13:41:07
PER FEE, 30 CENTS ADDS UP.
13:41:10
>> I'M NOT A TECH PERSON, I'M
13:41:13
NOT EVEN GOING TO WEIGH IN ON
13:41:15
COMPLICATED.
13:41:15
>> SOME DAY, THAT WOULD BE A
13:41:17
GREAT OUTCOME, RIGHT NOW WE
13:41:18
NEED TO UPGRADE OUR FINANCIAL
13:41:21
SYSTEM TO CURRENT INDUSTRY
13:41:23
STANDARDS AND WE ALSO DID
13:41:24
THIS THROUGH A COMPETITIVE
13:41:25

PROCUREMENT PROCESS, SO I
13:41:27
WANT TO HONOR THAT AS WELL.
13:41:29
IT IS SOMETHING WE COULD
13:41:31
POTENTIALLY ASPIRE TO, BUT WE
13:41:32
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
13:41:35
PROVIDE THE BEST, MOST
13:41:36
EFFICIENT SERVICE TO THE
13:41:37
CUSTOMERS AND REALLY THIS IS
13:41:39
ABOUT PROVIDING GOOD CUSTOMER
13:41:40
SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
13:41:41
TRYING TO PAY FOR PARKING.
13:41:44
>> TO FOLLOW UP THROUGH THE
13:41:46

CHAIR, MR. GUILLEN, I ALSO

13:41:48
BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS IN
13:41:49
PART, MR. BRIAN, YOU ALL
13:41:51
MIGHT REMEMBER THIS, OAKLAND
13:41:52
DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF
13:41:54
DOING OUR OWN -- WHEN WE WERE
13:41:57
DOING THE REGULAR COPPER
13:41:59
HEADS, THE MAINTENANCE JUST
13:42:00
-- WE HAD SO MANY PARKING
13:42:04
THINGS WHERE PUBLIC WORKS
13:42:05
COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THE
13:42:06
DEMAND FOR THE DAMAGE, THERE
13:42:08

WERE OTHER PARIS TO THIS

13:42:09
CONTRACT TOO, FOR MAINTENANCE
13:42:10
AND FOR OTHER THINGS THAT
13:42:12
WE WERE INCAPABLE OF DOING IN
13:42:14
TERMS OF STAYING ABREAST OF
13:42:16
THAT, SO OUTSOURCING IT
13:42:18
BECAME BOTH IN TERM OF THE
13:42:21
TECHNOLOGY AND HAVING THE
13:42:22
CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH THE
13:42:23
MAINTENANCE?
13:42:24
>> THAT RINGS A BELL, THE
13:42:25
NICE THING ABOUT HAVING THE
13:42:26

ABILITY TO PAY ON YOUR MOBILE

13:42:28
PHONE IS IF A PARKING METER
13:42:30
IS JAMMED, YOU STILL HAVE AN
13:42:32
ALTERNATE WAY OF PAYMENT.
13:42:35
>> [INAUDIBLE].
13:42:37
>> YES.
13:42:37
>> IF YOU CAN'T FIND THOSE
13:42:40
QUARTERS, YOU STILL PAY.
13:42:41
I DO HAVE A QUESTION AND MY
13:42:43
INTERPRETATION OF -- ARE YOU
13:42:45
FINISHED?
13:42:46
>> YES.
13:42:47

>> IT SAYS HERE A THREE YEAR

13:42:49
CONTRACT WITH TWO 1 YEAR
13:42:51
OPTIONS, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
13:42:52
SPECIFY, I AM ASSUMING THOSE
13:42:54
ONE YEAR OPTIONS WOULD HAVE
13:42:55
TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL
13:42:56
BECAUSE UNLESS IT SAYS
13:42:57
WITHOUT COMING BACK TO
13:42:58
COUNCIL, IT HAS TO COME BACK
13:43:00
TO COUNCIL, THAT'S HOW I WANT
13:43:01
IT AND THAT'S HOW I'M
13:43:03
INTERPRETING IT?
13:43:03

>> WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK

13:43:05
AND TRUE UP THE TOTAL
13:43:06
CONTRACT VALUE?
13:43:07
>> SO, AFTER THREE YEARS WITH
13:43:09
YOU'RE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL
13:43:12
PREPARING FOR THAT PROCESS OF
13:43:13
A POSSIBLE ONE YEAR
13:43:14
EXTENSION, THAT MIGHT BE A
13:43:15
GOOD TIME TO BE LOOKING INTO
13:43:18
WHAT COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN
13:43:19
JUST TALKED ABOUT.
13:43:20
>> YES.
13:43:20

>> ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS?

13:43:22
NO?
13:43:22
OKAY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION?
13:43:28
SO MOVED.
13:43:28
AND SECONDED, ALL IF FAVOR,
13:43:30
SAY AYE.
13:43:31
AYE, THAT'S UNANIMOUS, THAT'S
13:43:33
ON CONSENT.
13:43:33
>> ITEM 8, A RESOLUTION

13:44:16
MANAGEMENT BUREAU, FORGIVE
13:44:17
ME, I'M GOING TO READ WHICH I
13:44:19
NORMALLY DON'T DO, ADOPTION
13:44:20
OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION
13:44:23
WOULD ALLOW THE CITY
13:44:24

ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO

13:44:26
AN AGREEMENT WITH HDL
13:44:27
SOFTWARE, THE SOFTWARE'S
13:44:28
ESSENTIAL TO THE CITY TO

SUPPORT THE BILLING AND

COLLECTIONS OF BUSINESS

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY, UTILITY
13:44:34

WELL AS THE COLLECTION OF A

VARIETY OF FEES AND EXCESS
13:44:39
LITERACY AND ANY NEW TAXES
13:44:40
AND FEES THAT MAY BE ADOPTED
13:44:43

IN THE FUTURE, THE SOFTWARE

13:44:45
ALLOWS BUSINESS OWNERS TO
13:44:46
APPLY, FILE AND PAPER TAXES
13:44:48
THROUGH FEES THROUGH AN
13:44:52
ONLINE PORTAL, FURTHERING THE
13:44:54
BUSINESSES OF STREAMLINING,
13:44:55
IT IS INTEGRATED WITH HDL'S
13:44:58
PROPERTY TAX WHICH WILL
13:45:00
PROVIDE EFFICIENCIES FOR
13:45:01
COST, THE TOTAL COST WOULD
13:45:04
NOT EXCEED 1.23 MILLION FOR A
13:45:05
FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH
13:45:07

FIVE-ONE YEAR CAPTIONS TO

13:45:09
EXTEND THE AGREEMENT,, WE
13:45:11
CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE
13:45:12
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
13:45:13
PROCESS, THE CITY RECEIVED
13:45:15
FIVE PROPOSALS TO THE RFQ,
13:45:17
FOUR OF WHICH MET THE REVENUE
13:45:21
BUREAU'S IMPLEMENTATION AND
13:45:22
WERE CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH
13:45:23
THE SELECTION PROCESS, AFTER
13:45:24
AN EVALUATION OF THE
13:45:26
PROPOSALS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT
13:45:28

COMPANIES INCLUDING DETAILED

13:45:29
PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION, THE
13:45:31
FINAL RANKINGS WERE HDL
13:45:34
SOFTWARE, THOMPSON ROOTERS
13:45:35
NUMBER TWO, ESTELLA, NUMBER
13:45:37
3 AND PROGRESSIVE SOLUTIONS,
13:45:38
NUMBER FOUR, SO AGAIN, STAFF
13:45:40
IS RECOMMENDING AWARD OF A
13:45:42
CONTRACT TO HDL.
13:45:44
THE EVALUATION PROCESS, I
13:45:44
WOULD LIKE TO HIT ON THAT, IN
13:45:47
NOVEMBER, 2015, WE RELEASED
13:45:48

AN RFQ FOR THIS SOFTWARE

13:45:51
SYSTEM THROUGH THE CITY'S
13:45:54
E-PROCUREMENT SYSTEM,
13:45:57
I-SUPPLIER WITH A TURNKEY
13:45:59
SOLUTION THAT WOULD EXHIBIT
13:46:01
THE CITY'S SOFTWARE, THE RFQ
13:46:02
WAS POSTED ON THE CALIFORNIA
13:46:05
SOCIETY OF MUNICIPAL
13:46:06
FINANCIAL OFFICERS WEBSITE
13:46:08
AND THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
13:46:10
REVENUE AND TAXATION
13:46:11
ASSOCIATION WEBSITE AND
13:46:12

ADVERTISED IN THE OAKLAND

13:46:14
TRIBUNE, THE OAKLAND POST AND
13:46:15
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, THE
13:46:18
RFQ ALLOWED FOR PROPOSALS FOR
13:46:22
ON PREMISE OR ON SOLUTION,
13:46:26
THERE WAS FIVE PROPOSALS
13:46:27
SUBMITTED, SO THE ONLY ONE
13:46:28
THAT PROPOSED THAT DIDN'T GO
13:46:31
THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS
13:46:32
HARRIS GOVERN AND THEY COULD
13:46:34
NOT MEET OUR IMPLEMENTATION
13:46:35
DEADLINE.
13:46:35

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO

13:46:37
NOTE WE HAD A 19 MEMBER
13:46:40
EVALUATION TEAM FROM THE
13:46:41
DEPARTMENTS OF REVENUE,
13:46:42
TREASURY AND INFORMATION
13:46:43
TECHNOLOGY, 50% OF MY
13:46:46
DEPARTMENT END USERS WEIGHED
13:46:48
IN ON THIS PROCESS, EACH TEAM
13:46:51
MEMBER INDEPENDENTLY
13:46:51
EVALUATED AND SCORED THE
13:46:52
PROPOSALS AND THE ORAL
13:46:55
PRESENTATIONS.
13:46:55

AS NOTED ON PAGE 4, NO
13:46:58
PROPOSALS FOR SMALL LOCAL
13:47:01
BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN
13:47:02
OAKLAND WERE SUBMITTED AND
13:47:03
THE SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN
13:47:06
SELECTED IS PROPRIETARY.
13:47:08
SO, ON PAGE 4, YOU'LL ALSO
13:47:09
SEE THAT WE SCORED ON
13:47:13
EXPERIENCE, TECHNICAL
13:47:14
CAPABILITIES, ORAL
13:47:15
PRESENTATIONS AND SOLUTION
13:47:16
DEMONSTRATION, AND FINALLY WE
13:47:18

REQUESTED THAT THE COST FOR

13:47:19
EACH PROPOSAL BE SEALED AND
13:47:21
SENT TO CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
13:47:23
TO HOLD UNTIL WE MADE IT
13:47:25
THROUGH ALL THREE FIRST
13:47:25
PHASES AND THIS WAS SO THAT
13:47:27
MY STAFF WOULD NOT BE SWAYED
13:47:29
BY A COST, WE WANTED
13:47:31
EVERYBODY TO BE LOOKED AT ON
13:47:34
AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD.
13:47:35
I HAVE PEOPLE HERE TO ANSWER
13:47:38
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCORING
13:47:39

IF YOU HAVE THEM, LEGAL IS

13:47:41
HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
13:47:42
YOU MAY HAVE, THEY VETTED OUR
13:47:43
PROCESS AND THEY ARE
13:47:45
COMFORTABLE WITH IT, SO FOR
13:47:47
THAT, I WILL OPEN UP FOR
13:47:49
QUESTIONS.
13:47:49
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
13:47:50
IS THERE ANYBODY FROM HDL
13:47:52
HERE?
13:47:53
>> YES, I HAVE SOMEBODY FROM
13:47:55
HDL HERE, DARLENE WHOSE LAST
13:47:57

NAME I CAN'T PRONOUNCE IS

13:47:59
HERE.
13:48:00
>> WELCOME, IS THERE ANYTHING
13:48:01
YOU WANTED TO ADD BEFORE WE
13:48:03
DISCUSSED OR ASKED QUESTIONS
13:48:05
FROM HDL?
13:48:06
>> IF YOU DON'T MIND, HI, I'M
13:48:11
DARLENE DAMADUK FROM HDL
13:48:13
SOFTWARE, MY BACKGROUND IS
13:48:15
LOCAL GOVERNMENT, I SPENT 28
13:48:16
YEARS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
13:48:18
BEFORE MOVING ON TO HDL, I
13:48:20

CHOSE HDL BECAUSE OF THEIR

13:48:22
INTEGRITY AND THEIR
13:48:23
COMMITMENT TO LOCAL
13:48:23
GOVERNMENT.
13:48:23
I KNEW THAT AS A CLIENT AND
13:48:27
FELT CONFIDENT THAT BUZZ A
13:48:28
NICE WAY FOR ME TO SEGWAY
13:48:33
INTO HELPING OTHER GOVERNMENT
13:48:36
WITH SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD
13:48:36
HELP THEM COLLECT AND CAPTURE
13:48:38
THEIR REVENUE AND MANAGE IT
13:48:40
IN A WAY THAT WAS
13:48:43

EXPEDITIOUS, SO WITH THAT,

13:48:44
I'M JUST HERE TO KIND OF
13:48:45
ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU'VE
13:48:46
GOT THEM.
13:48:47
>> GREAT.
13:48:49
COLLEAGUES?
13:48:49
ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS?
13:48:51
NO.
13:48:52
COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS,
13:48:52
COUNCILMEMBER GUILLEN?
13:48:53
>> SO, I JUST WANTED FOR THE
13:48:55
RECORD ASK FOR AN EXPLANATION
13:48:56

IN TERMS OF THE SCORING.

13:48:58
I NOTICE THAT IN THE SCORING
13:49:02
MATRIX, THE MAXIMUM POINTS
13:49:04
GUARANTEED UNDER EXPERIENCE
13:49:06
IS 20, YET THOMPSON ROOTERS
13:49:09
SCORED 21 AND THAT WAS A RED
13:49:11
FLAG, SO IF YOU COULD TALK
13:49:15
ABOUT WHY THEY RANKED 21 WHEN
13:49:18
THERE'S ONLY 20 POINTS.
13:49:20
>> GOOD MORNING, HONORABLE
13:49:22
COUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS
13:49:27
SEAWEED DAN, YES, I NOTICED
13:49:30

AFTER WE WROTE THE STAFF

13:49:33
REPORT, THE REASON FOR 21
13:49:34
POINTS FOR THEM WAS SIMPLY
13:49:36
BECAUSE OF ROUNDING, WHAT WE
13:49:37
DID IS WE GO THROUGH MANY
13:49:39
DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE
13:49:41
PROCESS TO TAB

-- TABULATE

13:49:45
THE SCORES, IT'S A FEATURE IN
13:49:47
EXCEL, IT'S WHAT YOU DO,
13:49:51
IMBED OTHER LINKS WITH
13:49:52
VARIOUS LINKS, YOU HAVE THE
13:49:55
SCORE CALCULATED TO BE
13:49:57

PRECISE OR YOU CAN DISPLAY IT

13:49:59
BASED ON THE NUMBERS SHOWN,
13:50:01
SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE,
13:50:11
THOMPSON ROOTERS WAS 20. -13:50:12
LET ME GET THAT NUMBER FOR
13:50:18
YOU.
IT WAS 20.58.
13:50:21
>> SO, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE,
13:50:24
IF YOU COULD ONLY AWARD A
13:50:26
MAXIMUM OF 20, DID SOMEONE
13:50:32
SCORE 20.5, 20.9, IT JUST
13:50:33
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE EVEN IF IT
13:50:35
WAS A ROUNDING

ERROR.

13:50:39
>> WELL, AS I SAID, THE
13:50:40
INITIAL SCORE IS BASED ON A
13:50:44
MAXIMUM -- FOR EACH PHASE OF
13:50:45
THE PROCESS, WE HAD 19 PEOPLE
13:50:49
EVALUATING THE PROPOSALS, AND
13:50:52
EACH CATEGORY, IF YOU WANT TO
13:50:55
CALL IT THAT, YOU GET 10
13:50:57
POINTS FOR EACH -13:50:58
>> SO, ARE YOU SAYING YOU'RE
13:50:59
TAKING THE SCORE AND DIVIDING
13:51:02
THEM BY 19 PEOPLE?
13:51:03
>> YES.

13:51:04
>> SO, IF IT'S A ROUNDING
13:51:06
ERROR, IT'S A ROUNDING ERROR,
13:51:07
I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH
13:51:10
INTO THE WEEDS HERE, IT'S A
13:51:11
REGULAR FLAG IN TERMS OF
13:51:12
THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED IN
13:51:14
THIS REPORT, SO THANK YOU.
13:51:18
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS,
13:51:21
COLLEAGUES?
13:51:23
OKAY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT MCELHANEY?
13:51:30
COMMENT?
13:51:30

>> I JUST WANTED TO

13:51:35
APPRECIATE MS. O'BRIAN,
13:51:38
TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF
13:51:41
HOW WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS,
13:51:42
I KNOW FOR THE PAST FEW
13:51:44
YEARS, WE'VE BEEN TALK ABOUT
13:51:45
UPGRADING THE SYSTEM AND I
13:51:46
THINK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THE
13:51:47
PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE
13:51:49
HAVE AN ASPIRATION FOR HOW WE
13:51:51
WANT THE CITY TO OPERATE IN
13:51:53
OUR SYSTEMS, WE'RE TRAILING
13:51:55

BEHIND THAT AND ESPECIALLY

13:51:56
WITH TECHNOLOGY AND THE
13:51:57
ABILITY TO DO SO MUCH, SO
13:52:00
WHETHER IT'S CAPTURING DATA,
13:52:01
OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THE
13:52:04
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FRIENDLY,
13:52:07
I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER KAPLAN
13:52:08
HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT
13:52:09
WITH RESPECT TO HAVING PEOPLE
13:52:12
APPLY FOR PERMITS ONLINE, SO
13:52:14
THAT IF THEY'RE JUST TRYING
13:52:16
TO REPAIR THEIR FRONT PORCH,
13:52:17

THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH

13:52:18
THE PROCESS OF LEAVING AN
13:52:20
EAST OAKLAND HOME AND COMING
13:52:23
DOWNTOWN AND SUBJECTING
13:52:27
THEMSELVES TO A PARKING FINE, TO
13:52:28
BE ABLE TO DO THIS ONLINE,
13:52:30
WITH THIS UPGRADES, ARE WE
13:52:31
GETTING CLOSER, I WANT TO
13:52:32
EXPRESS TO THE PUBLIC WHAT
13:52:34
THIS MEANS IN TERMS OF
13:52:35
UPGRADING THE TECHNOLOGY IN
13:52:36
THE SYSTEM AND HOW THAT HELPS
13:52:38

US GET TO OUR GOAL OF

13:52:42
EXCEPTIONAL CONSTITUENCY
13:52:42
SERVICES.
13:52:42
>> YES, WITH THAT UPGRADE, WE
13:52:45
WILL BE GETTING MUCH CLOSER,
13:52:46
I NEED MY STAFF TO BE ABLE TO
13:52:48
-- TO BE FREED UP TO HELP
13:52:50
CUSTOMERS AS OPPOSED TO
13:52:51
DEALING WITH THE SYSTEM, SO
13:52:54
AN ONLINE PORTAL IS GOING TO
13:52:55
BE AMAZING.
13:52:56
>> HOW WILL IT EASE -- MS.
13:52:59

O'BRIAN, YOU AND I HAVE

13:53:01
TALKED ABOUT IT, I'M TRYING
13:53:02
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE
13:53:04
PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS
13:53:08
SHIFTS THE WORKFLOW, ALLOWS
13:53:09
US TO GET AT BETTER DATA AND
13:53:11
JUST BRIEFLY BECAUSE I KNOW
13:53:12
YOU SAID 19 PEOPLE EVALUATED
13:53:15
THIS SYSTEM, THIS SYSTEM
13:53:17
COMES OUT AHEAD THE OTHERS
13:53:19
THAT HAVE COME OUT, AND
13:53:22
WHAT'S THAT USER GOING TO BE
13:53:24

LIKE FOR OUR STAFF AND HOW IS

13:53:25
IT GOING TO BE LIKE FOR THE
13:53:28
PUBLIC INTERACTING WITH YOUR
13:53:29
STAFF?
13:53:29
>> WHAT THEY TOOK AWAY FROM
13:53:31
IT IS THERE WILL BE FEWER
13:53:34
CLICKS, FEWER THINGS TO CLICK
13:53:35
ON TO GET TO AN END PRODUCT,
13:53:37
FROM THE END USER CUSTOMER,
13:53:40
FROM THE TAXPAYER'S
13:53:41
STANDPOINT, THEY WILL HAVE A
13:53:42
PORTAL WHERE THEY CAN APPLY
13:53:45

ONLINE, WHERE THEY CAN SUBMIT

13:53:47
THEIR TAXES ONLINE, AND I'VE
13:53:48
BEEN SAYING THIS OVER AND
13:53:50
OVER, I'M OBSESSING OVER
13:53:51
PHONE CALLS AND FOOT TRAFFIC
13:53:52
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
13:53:54
THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE HAVING
13:53:56
PEOPLE COME DOWN TO THE CITY.
13:53:59
WITH THIS SYSTEM AND THE
13:54:01
ONLINE SYSTEM AND MY STAFF
13:54:03
WITH TABLETS, WE CAN DO
13:54:06
SATELLITE OFFICES DURING
13:54:07

RENEWAL SEASON, CAN GO OUT TO

13:54:10
EASTMONT MALL, THERE'S AN
13:54:11
AVAILABLE OFFICE THERE,
13:54:12
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO COME TO
13:54:13
US ANYMORE, WE CAN GO TO THEM.
13:54:16
>> EXCELLENT, THAT'S HUGE,
13:54:16
WITH THAT, I MOVE THE ITEM.
13:54:18
>> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION TO
13:54:22
THE CITY ATTORNEY, THIS IS
13:54:24
NOT ABOUT THE PROCESS, THIS
13:54:27
IS ABOUT -- YOU MENTIONED
13:54:29
THAT NOW TAX PAYERS WILL BE
13:54:31

ABLE TO DO THINGS ONLINE AND

13:54:34
THEY WONT HAVE THE
13:54:35
FRUSTRATION OF COMING DOWN
13:54:36
FOR EVERY LITTLE THING, SO MY
13:54:37
WIFE IS ONE OF THOSE TAX
13:54:41
PAYERS, THAT'S NOT ANY
13:54:42
CONFLICT THEN, RIGHT?
13:54:45
SHE'S PAYS BUSINESS TAX, SHE
13:54:46
HAS TO COME DOWN AND HATES
13:54:49
THAT, SHE WOULD BE THRILLED
13:54:50
BY THIS, SO I'M WONDERING,
13:54:52
THAT'S NOT A CONFLICT BECAUSE
13:54:53

EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE CITY

13:54:54
HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS, I WANT
13:54:56
TO CHECK
13:54:57
>>
13:54:58
>> RIGHT, THE GENERAL PUBLIC
13:55:01
IS THE EXCEPTION AND THE
13:55:04
CONFLICT LAWS WOULD PROBABLY
13:55:06
BE APPLICABLE IN THAT CASE.
>> SO, ANOTHER QUESTION TO
13:55:14
REVENUE.
13:55:15
SO, IN THE PAST, WE'VE BEEN
13:55:17
TOLD SOMETIMES WE CAN'T
13:55:18
ALWAYS KNOW IN A GIVEN YEAR

13:55:21
HOW MANY ADDITIONAL OR FEWER
13:55:24
TAX PAYERS WE HAVE.
13:55:25
DOES THIS -- ONCE THIS IS
13:55:27
IMPLEMENTED, WILL WE BE ABLE
13:55:29
TO ACCESS THAT INFORMATION,
13:55:30
WILL IT BE AVAILABLE?
13:55:31
>> IT WILL BE EASILY
13:55:33
AVAILABLE TO ACCESS, I MEAN,
13:55:34
THERE'S A LOT OF DATA THAT WE
13:55:36
NEED AND I WANT.
13:55:37
>> OKAY, SOUNDS GOOD.
13:55:39
OKAY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION?

13:55:41
A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IF FAVOR?
13:55:44
AYE.
13:55:44
OKAY, THAT CAN BE ON CONSENT.
13:55:47
AND DO WE HAVE OPEN FORUM
13:55:49
SPEAKERS?
13:55:49
>> YOU HAVE ONE OPEN FORUM
13:55:53
SPEAKER, ASSATA OLUGBALA.
>> GREAT, WELCOME.
13:55:56
>> TWO CONCERNS RELATIVE TO
13:55:58
THE DISCUSSION TODAY.
13:55:59
WHEN I REQUESTED THAT THE
13:56:03
JUNE 14TH REVENUE AND

13:56:06
EXPENDITURE REPORT INCLUDE
13:56:08
REVENUE OBTAINED FROM TRAFFIC
13:56:09
CITATIONS, I DIDN'T ASK YOU
13:56:11
WHETHER YOU WERE DOING IT, I
13:56:14
SAID REPORT IT TO THE PUBLIC,
13:56:15
JUST LIKE THE COUNCIL PERSON
13:56:17
WAS VERY EASILY AWARE OF WHAT
13:56:19
WE MAKE FOR PARKING CITATION
13:56:20
REVENUE, WE WANT TO KNOW FROM
13:56:22
THE PUBLIC, WHAT ARE YOU
13:56:25
MAKING FROM TRAFFIC
13:56:26
CITATIONS, ALONG WITH THAT, A

13:56:28
CAVEAT TO THAT, IS IT A FAIR
13:56:31
PROCESS.
13:56:31
SECOND THING, WITH REGARDS TO
13:56:33
THE GOLF COURSE RENTAL
13:56:35
PROCEDURES THAT YOU WERE
13:56:38
LOOKING AT, PROCESS, LAST
13:56:39
MEETING, YOU SAY PROCESS IS
13:56:40
IMPORTANT.
13:56:41
WHAT WAS THE PROCESS FOR
13:56:42
REDUCING THE RENT?
13:56:44
WHAT WAS THE PROCESS AFTER
13:56:45
THE RENT WAS NOT PAID, HOW

13:56:47
DID YOU DEAL WITH IT,
13:56:49
PROCESS, BECAUSE RENT IS AN
13:56:50
IMPORTANT ISSUE GOING ON, AND
13:56:52
AS THE LANDLORDS OF THIS
13:56:54
PROPERTY WE WANT TO FOE
13:56:55
WHETHER YOU'RE DOING A FAIR
13:56:58
PROCESS, AS WE GO THROUGH THE
13:56:59
HOUSING RENTAL PROCEDURE.
13:57:02
LAST THING, LAST MEETING, YOU
13:57:04
ENGAGED IN NOT DISCUSSING
13:57:07
WITH ASSATA OLUGBALA THE
13:57:09
ISSUE OF THE POLICE

13:57:11
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, BUT
13:57:13
YOU DID ENGAGE WITH A
13:57:14
COMMUNITY MEMBER ABOUT THE
13:57:17
LINCOLN PARK.
13:57:17
YOU ENGAGED WITH ONE PERSON
13:57:19
BUT YOU DIDN'T ENGAGE WITH
13:57:20
ANOTHER ONE, SO I WAS TRYING
13:57:22
TO FIGURE OUT WHY.
13:57:23
WHY CAN'T YOU ENGAGE WITH
13:57:24
EVERYBODY WHO HAS A CONCERN?
13:57:27
THE ANSWER I WAS RECEIVING IS
13:57:29
A YES OR NO ANSWER.

13:57:31
YOU HAD DIALOGUE AMONGST
13:57:33
YOURSELVES ABOUT THIS
13:57:34
DISCUSSION, BUT I FINALLY
13:57:34
FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM
13:57:36
MAY BE.
13:57:36
I WENT TO A MEETING THIS PAST
13:57:40
THURSDAY ON RACIAL PROFILING
13:57:42
AND THERE IS A COMPONENT
13:57:45
CALLED IMPLICIT BIAS, IT'S
13:57:47
HIDDEN PREJUDICE, ITS AN
13:57:51
UNCONSCIOUS ATTITUDE OR
13:57:52
UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ARE

13:57:54
BEING BIASED AGAINST ONE
13:57:56
PERSON, ARE YOU UNCONSCIOUSLY
13:57:58
UNAWARE THAT YOU ARE
13:58:01
DISPLAYING A BEHAVIOR ON
13:58:03
FAIRNESS TOWARDS PEOPLE THAT
13:58:04
COME BEFORE YOU, IMPLICIT
13:58:08
BIAS, DR. EBERHARDT IS DEALING
13:58:09
WITH THAT WITH THE POLICE
13:58:10
DEPARTMENT, IF THE COUNCIL IS
13:58:12
IN NEED OF THERAPY OF THE
13:58:13
POSSIBILITY THAT YOU ARE
13:58:15
ENGAGING OF IMPLICIT BIAS,

13:58:17
WILL YOU ASK EBERHARDT TO
13:58:19
HELP YOU, IF NOT, YOU ARE
13:58:23
RACIST, MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE
13:58:24
PEOPLE THAT ARE OLE, MAYBE
13:58:26
YOU DON'T LIKE FEMALES, I
13:58:26
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, YOU
13:58:28
HAVE TO GET RID OF THIS BIAS
13:58:29
THAT YOU HAVE TOWARDS SOME
13:58:31
PEOPLE THAT COME BEFORE THIS
13:58:35
COUNCIL.
13:58:35
>> OKAY, ANYMORE PUBLIC
13:58:37
SPEAKERS IN OPEN FORUM?

13:58:39
NO MORE?
13:58:40
OKAY, THIS MEETING IS
13:58:42
ADJOURNED.
13:58:43
( MEETING IS ADJOURNED ).
