If you are participating remotely, please raise your hand so I can easily identify you. And as usual, we'll take those who are in person first, followed by those who are online. I have Rajni Mandal. Good morning. And Blair Beekman. Thank you.

Hi, Rajni Mandel, District 4. I understand the police commission selection panel is expected to submit its recommended slate to council soon. As council reviews those appointments, I urge you to evaluate not only the qualifications of the candidates, but also the commission's record over the past several years. Because one of the recommended candidates is the current chair, this is also a decision about whether the commission's current direction should continue. As Oakland prepares to exit more than two decades of federal oversight, the city needs a commission focused on governance, accountability, and oversight. Yet the commission has too often failed to provide meaningful oversight of CIPRA and OIG, overlooked governance and transparency issues, and devoted significant time to matters outside its statutory responsibilities. A vote for the current chair is a vote to continue that approach. I encourage council to evaluate candidates based not only on what they promise, but on their actual record of leadership, judgment, and performance. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your comments. Our next speaker was Blair Beekman. However, I do not see him here in the queue unless he's in person. That completes your speakers for item number two.

Item number three is approved as amended with three ayes and one excuse. Thank you so much. Now that takes us to item four. item four is the rule of the draft agendas pending list and the city council and committee meetings this is your june 23rd committees and the committee pending list as well as your july 2nd rules and legislation committee agenda

Good morning, Dawn Granados with the Treasury Bureau of Finance Department. On the Finance and Management Committee pending list under pending no date specific item number one, resolution providing for the borrowing of funds for fiscal year 2627 and the sale of the City of Oakland 2627 tax and revenue anticipation notes in the amount not to exceed $200 million approving an official statement approving the execution of one or more note purchase agreements related to such notes and authorizing other actions in connection therewith. We request this item to be scheduled to the July 7th City Council meeting on the non-consent calendar by Rule 24 because the resolution authorizes action related to the sale of the tax and revenue anticipation notes and approves the preliminary official statement of the notes. The preliminary official statement is included in the agenda materials. The official statement is the preliminary disclosure documents for investors in the notes and the preliminary official statement will be circulated to potential investor prior to the pricing of the notes. The distribution of the preliminary official statement by the city is subject to federal security laws. These laws require the official statement to include all current facts that would be material to investors. By bypassing committee, We will allow the financing team including city staff to incorporate the most current information in the preliminary official statement before the print deadline for the July 7th City Council meeting. Also, this will allow the notes to close and meet CalPERS deadline of July 31st for the prepayment of the unfunded actuarial liability.

Thank you. What item is that?

It was item number one under the Finance and Management Committee pending list under pending no date specific.

And we want that to go to July 7?

That's correct.

Council, okay, thank you.

Great, thank you.

Through you, Chair Winnie-Woo from the City Administrator's Office, I draw your attention to the CED pending list. Note date specific, item number five, it's in August. Wait, sorry. It's the no date specific item number one. So wait, sorry. I don't number eight. It's a receive an informational report regarding the fiscal year 2526, quarter one and quarter two update on the planning and building department's code enforcement activities.

Good morning, everyone. Misha McLaughlin, Deputy Chief of Staff, Council President Kevin Jenkins. I wanted to schedule an item for July 7th Council meeting. This will be AC Transit informational report regarding their budget projected deficits and potential impacts on services. So July 7th City Council meeting AC Transit report.

Thank you.

On consent, please. Okay. Well, there is a presentation. They'll be doing a PowerPoint.

Okay, so we gotta do that on item three, but we'll put through it. All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go to the public speakers.

Thank you. As I call your name, please approach the podium if you're here in person. Please state your name for the record if you are participating online. Please raise your hand so I can easily identify you. We will take those in person first and followed by those who are participating online. I have Rajni Madal, Kevin Daly, Blair Beekman, and I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the name is, a police commission is what I can.

It looks like Twan.

Oh, Twan, thank you.

Yeah.

Yes, in New York. Good morning, Rajni.

Good morning. Rajni Mandel, District 4. I have concerns about placing quarterly reports on the IAB to SIPR transfer on future council agendas because the reports focus on implementation rather than readiness. The city administrator can report on timelines, meetings, and planning, but cannot direct CIPRA, evaluate the CIPRA director, establish operating procedures, or require the police commission to fulfill its oversight responsibilities. In fact, the city administrator previously paused the transfer because CIPRA was not ready. Under Oakland's charter, responsibility for overseeing, directing, and evaluating CIPRA rests with the police commission. Nearly 10 years after CIPRA was created, audits and independent reviews continue to identify many of the same deficiencies and lack of policies, training, and reporting systems. If those governance issues remain unresolved, quarterly implementation reports will not solve them. I encourage council to ensure this agenda item clearly reflects the commission's responsibility for CIPRA readiness, rather than creating the impression that the city administrator can resolve issues that the charter assigns to the police commission. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, Tuan.

I attended the last police commission selection panel advisory meeting, and they had put forth yet again for the third time Ricardo Garcia Acosta to the full council for approval. And once again, I'd just like to raise the community's concern around the need for both oversight of police, and balancing with public safety. Under Acosta, who is, if he's reappointed by you guys, he's going to be the president, the chairman of the police commission. And under his tenure, we had five police chiefs in six years. six police chiefs in five years. We need stability at the top. He also needs to work with all stakeholders, and I didn't see that at the federal court hearing with the federal monitor. He wanted the same oversight power as the federal monitor, And that was in direct contrast to what the mayor who was there wanted, what the city attorney wanted, what several members of the city council did not voice that. Michelle Phillips didn't want that. The judge ignored him. He's not able to work with stakeholders to move the interests of the city forward to get out from federal oversight. Moreover, depending on who talks to him, he gives different stories. We need somebody that's transparent, that's trustworthy, that has true leadership. and there's a retired judge, Judge Grillo, that seems to be fair, balanced, and can follow policy. He wanted to move internal affairs from OPD to CIPRA, but CIPRA has ongoing concerns about reporting, transparency, policy procedures and guidelines, being able to fill investigative positions, all these horrible investigative major severe concerns. We need strong leadership, a change in Oakland, and public safety to be prioritized. Thanks.

Thank you for your comments. Our last two speakers were Kevin Daly and Blair Beekman. I don't see their name in the queue. That completes our speakers for this item.

Thank you. Noting item one from finance and management going to July 7th council. Noting item number eight from CD. Yeah, CD. That's it. Going to July 14th. um world's pending list item number five going to july 7th and we'll come back next week with the scheduling request for ac transit with that i'll entertain a motion move approval

Second. And that was a motion by Council Member Brown, seconded by Council Member Fife to approve item four as amended on roll. Council Member Brown?

Aye.

Council Member Fife? Aye. Council Member Ramachandran excused and Chair Jenkins?

Aye.

Item number four is approved as amended with three ayes, one excused. that now takes you to our first discussion item s5 s5 is a resolution confirming the mayor's appointment of felicia favorite to the landmark preservation advisory board and this item will need an urgency finding stated before we hear the item

Good morning, Council President, Rules Committee, President Kilgore, Deputy Chief of Staff to Mayor Robert Lee. I'm here to request an urgency finding under Rule 28 for item S5, as stated, a resolution confirming the mayor's appointment of Ms. Favroth to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board given the current vacancies. We are requesting the urgency finding to ensure the commission can continue to have quorum and serve their key functions.

Thank you. In the future, these can just go into item number three. You got it, Council President. All right.

Thank you.

We need a motion for the urgency. So moved.

Second.

And that was a motion by Councilmember Fife, seconded by Councilmember Brown to approve the urgency finding on roll. Councilmember Brown?

Aye.

Fife? Aye. Ramachandran is excused, and Chair Jenkins?

Aye.

Item of the urgency finding is approved with three ayes, one excuse.

Any speakers on this?

There is two speakers for this item.

And let's go to the public speakers.

All right, I will call the speakers. I have Felicia online, and I have Kevin Daly. Felicia, you are unmuted. You may begin your comments. Thank you so much.

Thank you, everyone. It would be an honor to be able to serve on the Landmark Preservation Board. It is an opportunity for me to bring my passion for preservation along with my experience being a real estate professional and housing provider. So I'm hoping to be able to move forward and join this board and bring my passion for the city of Oakland.

Thank you so much for your service.

That concludes our speakers for this item.

Excellent, just wanted to quickly comment, I'm very excited to have Felicia on this board and she's an amazing community advocate in this space.

Yes, she's a District 6 resident and she's amazing and I love all my BWAPA sisters.

Do you need a motion on this?

Yeah, so moved.

Second.

That was a motion by Council Member Brown, seconded by Council Member Fife to approve S5 to be forwarded to the, excuse me, to be forwarded to the July 7th City Council agenda on consent.

Yes.

Thank you so much. With that on roll, Council Member Brown? Aye. Bife? Aye. Ramachandran is excused. And Chair Jenkins?

Aye.

Item number S5 is approved with three ayes, one excuse to be forwarded to the July 7th City Council agenda on consent. That now takes us to item S6. Adopt a resolution submitting to the voters at the November 3rd 2026 general municipal election a measure to amend open municipal code chapter 4.20 to amend the Exemption for foreclosure transactions and an advisory measure on whether the increased revenue for amending the city's real property transfer tax to include certain foreclosures transactions transactions should be spent for purposes of providing interim shelter transitional housing, encampment closure options, and 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, excuse me, at the general municipal election, and making appropriate CEQA findings. This too, if being heard, will need an urgency finding.

Michael Wimsatt, District 2 Council. I'm here to request that this item be continued to the June 25th Rules Committee hearing.

I just had a quick question through the chair to the city attorney's office with moving this item back a week. How does that line up with the, do we have any timeline concerns or are we okay?

Through the chair to come somewhere Brown our office does not have timeline concerns if this is heard At next week's rules and if the committee decides to forward it to council it could go on the July 7th meeting and we could still Hear our election legislation at those two regular meetings in July.

Okay. Excellent. Thank you so much

Through the chair, I would recommend that the council member for district two speak to the clerk's office on the impacts of the clerks on what they have to do as well. Because even though this might not pose an issue in terms of the drop dead deadline, in terms of work product and capacity, it can have impact. So I would just encourage the council member to speak with them. Thank you.

We'll be sure to do that.

Thank you. Is there anybody here to speak on this?

No.

What now?

To hear the public speakers for this item. All right, well, let's start there. The public speakers for this item, Stacey, Mandu, Kevin Daly, Derek Barnes, Charlie Eddy, and Cristino Lamas, in any order. If you're here in person, please approach the podium and state your name for the record. If you're participating online, please raise your hand. Thank you so much.

We should definitely raise revenue by closing the real estate transfer tax loophole that benefits financial institutions like BlackRock. So yes to taxing big real estate and we should allocate some of that money to more dignified and accessible shelter options. But we should not tie service delivery to the use of cops and bulldozers to destroy communities. So, while I think it's great to give that money to allocate it to interim housing and supporting homelessness services, money should not go to encampment closure operations, as is stated in the language. Encampment closure operations, aka forced evictions, aka sweeps. Sweeps worsen health and housing outcomes. We just had the EAP go into effect. I know, I'm aware that sweeps are not able to run 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, and we don't need them to. We don't need more money for more sweeps. We don't need to do this 52 weeks out of the year. People just continue to get displaced. People are harmed. Truly, sweeps harm people. They are sweeps. You're literally sweeping people from where they're living into the corners. We just had the PIT, and everyone's patting themselves on the back for an approximately reduction of about 1,000 less sighted unhoused, but the reality of that is with sweeping, just like when you sweep in your house, If you're not careful or don't have a backup vacuum or whatnot, like dust and debris goes into the small corners. So people have been swept into the far corners and underneath the bed, so to speak. And so we can't get a good count of them. And then not hyperbole, fact, reality, people die from sweeps. We've had lots of people die from sweeps. They have been effective. So we don't need more money for them.

Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, if you signed up to speak for item S6, this is your opportunity. Please approach the podium or raise your hand in the queue. Okay, I will now go to those who are participating in the line. I see Kevin Daly. You are unmuted. You may begin.

Hi, this is Kevin Daly. I definitely like the idea of the tax. I have two concerns. One is that the money would be going to the general fund. So even though there's a description of where the money is desired to go to, there's no requirement for the money to go there. I suggest that that language be removed. The council has a history of granting exemptions to requirements for other resolutions, sugar-free beverage tax, a requirement to fund police depending upon a certain number of police be hired. I think that having a suggestion in the resolution is a bad idea because there's no longer trust that the council will insist that the money be spent as suggested. Second, there's already one really big tax, an important tax on the November ballot, that's the transit tax. Will there be a risk if we have multiple taxes on the ballot at the same time of risking that any of the taxes be passed? I think that's a tough call, but I'd like the council members to think about that. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. I do see one hand raised just to verify. Good morning. Did you sign up to speak for item S6? And if so, what name did you sign up under?

Hi, Madam Clerk, it's Derek Barnes.

I'm sorry, Derek Barnes?

Yeah.

Yes, you may begin. Thank you so much.

Great, thank you. Good morning, Council Members. Derek Barnes with EBRA. I want to first commend Council Member Wagt for advancing this important conversation. The proposal asks a reasonable question. When distressed properties change hands through foreclosure, should those transactions contribute to addressing the public challenges that often accompany neighborhood disinvestment and housing instability? I think the answer can be yes, however, I would encourage the council to think beyond revenue generation and ask a second question. How would we turn foreclosure into neighborhood recovery? The staff report estimates the measure may generate roughly $400,000 to a million dollars annually. That level of revenue alone cannot solve homelessness as we know, nor will it fundamentally change neighborhood conditions. We shouldn't tether these critical services to lumpy revenue streams. It's just too inconsistent. But if we leverage it strategically, it could do something even more powerful, but we got to make the juice worth the squeeze. Imagine using the funds to help Oakland residents, community cooperatives, and small housing providers and neighborhoods with small investors acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed small unit properties. And imagine coupling tax policy with rehabilitation incentives revolving loan funds and community ownership opportunities that keep wealth and investment local. I think we can make that a requirement as part of this if we want to go down this route. The goal should not simply be to tax distressed properties. I think we can transform distressed properties into cooperative living, housing, and pathways to community ownership. to stabilize neighborhoods, and I think that's the goal. I encourage the council to preserve small owner occupants and hardship cases while exploring additional provisions that incentivize local investment, rehabilitation, and long-term ownership. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. All names have been called for item S6. That concludes.

I'll entertain a motion to continue this item to next week's rules.

So moved. Second. And that was a motion by Councilmember Fife, seconded by Councilmember Brown, to continue item S6 to the June 25th Rules and Legislation Committee. Agenda on roll, Councilmember Brown? Aye. Councilmember Fife? Aye. Councilmember Ramachandran, an excuse, and Chair Jenkins?

Aye.

Item number s6 will be continued to the June 25th Rules and Legislation Committee agenda and our last item open forum. I have Kevin Daly Blair Beekman and Rajani mandal in any order

Rajni Mandal, District 4. During the budget debate, we heard concerns that freezing vacant CIPRA positions would undermine civilian oversight. But the discussion revealed a deeper issue. Director Lawson has said CIPRA has struggled to fill investigator positions because the agency has historically relied on attorney investigators and can no longer recruit attorneys at the current salary range. But the posted investigator roles do not require a law degree, and CIPRA already employs non-attorney investigators. Council President Jenkins suggested working with CIPRA to address these hiring challenges, but under Oakland's charter, CIPRA is not overseen by council. It is overseen by the police commission. So if CIPRA has existed for nearly a decade, still struggles to fill positions it is already funded for, and appears to be recruiting for qualifications beyond what the job requires, then this is not simply a budget issue. It is a governance and accountability issue within the civilian oversight structure itself. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. All names have been called. That concludes our open forum speakers. Thank you.

This meeting is adjourned.
