The\npolice commission just made a\nmajor decision off agenda and\n\n310\n00:24:37,832 --> 00:24:40,469\nout of public view.\nCommissioner was elevated in\n\n311\n00:24:40,469 --> 00:24:43,270\nclosed session, but that\ndecision was not listed on the\n\n312\n00:24:43,571 --> 00:24:45,272\nagenda. So the public had no\nnotice and no opportunity to\n\n313\n00:24:47,376 --> 00:24:50,311\ncomment. That alone undermines\npublic trust. And that's\n\n314\n00:24:52,213 --> 00:24:54,982\ninconsistent in MAY 2024, this\nwas handled in open session\nwith the public agenda and a\n\n315\n00:24:55,918 --> 00:24:57,951\nvote. So the question is\nsimple. Why was this handled\n\n316\n00:25:01,122 --> 00:25:03,691\ndifferently this time? This\nindividual is rejected twice\nby city Council, but now its\n\n317\n00:25:04,693 --> 00:25:06,895\nposition to become a full\ncommissioner anyway, if\n\n318\n00:25:06,895 --> 00:25:08,530\ncouncil said know, how does\nthis process respect that\n\n319\n00:25:11,366 --> 00:25:13,835\ndecision? Council Oakland is\nstill under federal oversight\n\n320\n00:25:13,835 --> 00:25:15,835\nand the court has been clear\n\n321\n00:25:16,238 --> 00:25:18,539\nprogress depends on alignment\nand collaboration. Actions\n\n322\n00:25:19,307 --> 00:25:21,800\nlike this create confusion and\nconflict when the city needs\n\n323\n00:25:22,845 --> 00:25:24,578\nto be working together at a\ntime in Oakland is so close to\n\n324\n00:25:25,181 --> 00:25:27,181\nexiting federal oversight that\n\n325\n00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,723\ncarries real risk. Thank you.\nSpeaker Blair Beekman. Please\n\n326\n00:25:33,723 --> 00:25:35,723\nunmute yourself begin your\n\n327\n00:25:41,620 --> 00:25:42,797\ncomments. I thank you. Sb 707,\nstarts the beginning JULY. The\n\n328\n00:25:43,933 --> 00:25:45,567\nzoom item for the public. Good\nluck. And what can do is\n\n329\n00:25:46,350 --> 00:25:48,350\ncommunity together. Before\n\n330\n00:25:50,639 --> 00:25:52,639\nthen. What else they want to\n\n331\n00:25:55,643 --> 00:25:58,479\nmention the strong mayor\nissues us a real good luck I\n\n332\n00:25:59,882 --> 00:26:02,283\nheard the words from public\ncomment about governance and\nman, I thought that was such\n\n333\n00:26:02,752 --> 00:26:04,752\nbeautiful tournament. So well\n\n334\n00:26:06,254 --> 00:26:07,889\ndescribe that. However, we\nmove forward. I hope it's\n\n335\n00:26:10,725 --> 00:26:12,861\ntoward governance and I I\nbeing from San Diego, you\n\n336\n00:26:13,662 --> 00:26:15,329\nknow, they've been the council\ncommittee process has been\n\n337\n00:26:17,566 --> 00:26:20,435\ntrying to develop, you know,\nreally good examples of\n\n338\n00:26:20,435 --> 00:26:23,370\ngovernance, a better\ngovernance. A strong mayor\nkeeps rejected it in San\n\n339\n00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,175\nDiego. Is that what's going to\nhappen? And Oakland, we can\nonly accept examples if it's\nfrom the strong mayor\n\n340\n00:26:31,747 --> 00:26:34,480\nposition. Governance is\nvitally important good luck\nand how we can do that. I\n\n341\n00:26:35,584 --> 00:26:37,584\nthink it can come from. A\n\n342\n00:26:40,923 --> 00:26:42,657\ncouncil city manager position.\nThank you.

I hope it can be\nways to bring the 2 groups together and in the importance\nof the pack, building a safe, safe roads for their bicycle\nfuture for the bicycle\npicture. I hope they can want to be accountable with the\ntech involved learning that language and understanding\ntogether. Good look how we can\ndo that as a community process item. Distinctly appointments\nto community police advisory\nboard. Am I getting the sense\nthat these persons recommended are the people taking over from the previous people who\nhave dismissed. I'd said if\nthis is a case, it is the case\nthis is as happening, I hope they're the previous\nleadership that previous thinking can find a place in\nthe future of Oakland and that it can be a good voice and a\nrespected voice and an important voice and we can\ncontinue. The balance in what\nour future can be. Good luck. How we find a really good\nbalance and that all voices can be respected and have a\nplace in our community\nprocess. 3.3 is. Council rules\nand procedure of my gosh, call-up the state of\nCalifornia created Senate Bill\n707. All public meetings in California Underground Act\nrules have to follow Zoom in the future.

Kim and Ali.\nBlair beat Brianna Horton and\nrising Mundial. Rushdie mental\ndistrict. 4. I'm asking that\nitem 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, be placed back on a future council\nagenda. For months. We've heard the same concern.\nOakland's police oversight system has structural problems, overlapping roles,\nunclear authority and gaps and accountability. The city\nauditor was clear. This is not\njust about staffing. It's about governance. And when\ngovernance is unclear, the outcome is predictable and\nconsistent process on certain authority and decisions that\ndon't hold up to public\nscrutiny. Item 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, begins to address this by\nsimplifying appointments and restoring clear lines of\naccountability. But the bigger question remains, is this\nsystem actually working dies 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, gives council\nthe chance to answer in that openly and with the public\nbecause if we don't take this\nup now we are accepting a system where accountability is\noptional. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Move into\nthe zone. Speakers. Starting with MR. Beekman please unmute yourself and begin your\ncomments. Wear big I want to comment on the upcoming\nfinance Thanks for the previous words, the public\ncomment that could speak to\nconcepts of balance and then we practice valens well in a\npicture of appointment process, good luck. And those\nsort of efforts. I mean, just\nfinance things coming up that you are going to continue to tough. Talk about public\nsafety overtime for opd. I\nthought it was a really\ndiscussion finance on MARCH 10\nas all the meetings with her committee meetings that day,\nit was just a really\ninformative lesson to me. And\npublic comment. I did. You know, the police operate. I that I felt good factual\ninformation trying to be as honest as possible. And\ncommunity also offered really good public comment in return.\nAnd I think it was just a\ngreat session and I hope you continue those sort of effort\nlearning and understanding I'm interested finance They'll be\nhandling the future of the\ntraffic issues that count suppressing Gallo. Very\nnicely. Spoke to back in\nJANUARY, FEBRUARY the state of California can have an\nimportant part in the future cast collection and we don't\nhave to pay for the services. How is that going? The the\nrecent funding from JANUARY? It's going to end probably\naround late APRIL MAY. I would\nguess how is that going over And just a good luck in in\naddressing on the tech\naccountability issues needed\nin that not subject you know, littered check traffic issues\nin step by. If do that openly\nunaccountably, it invites better selves and best practices and that's how you\nbuild a city. Thank you. Thank you your comments. MISS To\nBeekman going to MISTER Dalli. Please unmute yourself and\nbegin your comments. But this Kevin Galley and to discuss\nthe pending list for the Finance Committee requesting\nthat replaced the items related to the position\nparking administrator that on\nthe pending list for finance\nand make sure that the item to appear on the Finance\ncommittee before the items\nmade to count full, hoping\nthat they are put on when the city administrator slated to\npresent Partin minister that pulled from the finance\ncommittee at a meeting in in\nthe back and forth. We never\nquite but the 2 positions back on the pending lists buying\nit. It's important or council that followed the normal\nprocedure and help finance committee consider the positions before they come to\nthe Polk Thank you. Thank you for your comments. All names\nhave been caught. So no ting\nitem one. Item one. See the sending that APRIL 20 for sending that to the pending\nless. Is that correct? No date\nspecific entertain a motion.\nAnd a reminder, APRIL 21st Finance Committee will start\nat 09:00am. Move approval of\nthe penniless. On the motion by Council member Brown sing My Councilmember 5 to approve\nthat pending Liz Council member Brown. I Councilmember\n5. I count. I'm sorry.\nCouncil. PRESIDENT Jenkins. Noting that Councilmember\nRamachandran is excuse motion\npasses with a vote of 3 eyes.\nThat was all of your scheduling in action items for\nthis meeting. Moving to open\nform. Kevin Valley, the men in this crash, is approach the\npodium. And region so I can\neasily identify 3 years\nresting on district. 4. The police commission just made a major decision off agenda and\nout of public view. Commissioner was elevated in\nclosed session, but that decision was not listed on the\nagenda. So the public had no notice and no opportunity to\ncomment. That alone undermines public trust. And that's\ninconsistent in MAY 2024, this was handled in open session with the public agenda and a\nvote. So the question is simple. Why was this handled\ndifferently this time? This individual is rejected twice by city Council, but now its\nposition to become a full commissioner anyway, if\ncouncil said know, how does this process respect that\ndecision? Council Oakland is still under federal oversight\nand the court has been clear\nprogress depends on alignment and collaboration. Actions\nlike this create confusion and conflict when the city needs\nto be working together at a time in Oakland is so close to\nexiting federal oversight that\ncarries real risk. Thank you. Speaker Blair Beekman. Please\nunmute yourself begin your\ncomments. I thank you. Sb 707, starts the beginning JULY. The\nzoom item for the public. Good luck. And what can do is\ncommunity together. Before\nthen. What else they want to\nmention the strong mayor issues us a real good luck I\nheard the words from public comment about governance and man, I thought that was such\nbeautiful tournament. So well\ndescribe that. However, we move forward. I hope it's\ntoward governance and I I being from San Diego, you\nknow, they've been the council committee process has been\ntrying to develop, you know, really good examples of\ngovernance, a better governance. A strong mayor keeps rejected it in San\nDiego. Is that what's going to happen? And Oakland, we can only accept examples if it's from the strong mayor\nposition. Governance is vitally important good luck and how we can do that. I\nthink it can come from. A\ncouncil city manager position. Thank you. MISS A big move for\nyour Names have been called. Thank you.

I hope it can be\nways to bring the 2 groups together and in the importance\nof the pack, building a safe, safe roads for their bicycle\nfuture for the bicycle\npicture. I hope they can want to be accountable with the\ntech involved learning that language and understanding\ntogether. Good look how we can\ndo that as a community process item. Distinctly appointments\nto community police advisory\nboard. Am I getting the sense\nthat these persons recommended are the people taking over from the previous people who\nhave dismissed. I'd said if\nthis is a case, it is the case\nthis is as happening, I hope they're the previous\nleadership that previous thinking can find a place in\nthe future of Oakland and that it can be a good voice and a\nrespected voice and an important voice and we can\ncontinue.

Council rules\nand procedure of my gosh, call-up the state of\nCalifornia created Senate Bill\n707. All public meetings in California Underground Act\nrules have to follow Zoom in the future.

Kim and Ali.\nBlair beat Brianna Horton and\nrising Mundial. Rushdie mental\ndistrict. 4. I'm asking that\nitem 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, be placed back on a future council\nagenda. For months. We've heard the same concern.\nOakland's police oversight system has structural problems, overlapping roles,\nunclear authority and gaps and accountability. The city\nauditor was clear. This is not\njust about staffing. It's about governance. And when\ngovernance is unclear, the outcome is predictable and\nconsistent process on certain authority and decisions that\ndon't hold up to public\nscrutiny. Item 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, begins to address this by\nsimplifying appointments and restoring clear lines of\naccountability. But the bigger question remains, is this\nsystem actually working dies 24, 0, 3, 3, 6, gives council\nthe chance to answer in that openly and with the public\nbecause if we don't take this\nup now we are accepting a system where accountability is\noptional. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Move into\nthe zone. Speakers. Starting with MR. Beekman please unmute yourself and begin your\ncomments. Wear big I want to comment on the upcoming\nfinance Thanks for the previous words, the public\ncomment that could speak to\nconcepts of balance and then we practice valens well in a\npicture of appointment process, good luck. And those\nsort of efforts. I mean, just\nfinance things coming up that you are going to continue to tough. Talk about public\nsafety overtime for opd. I\nthought it was a really\ndiscussion finance on MARCH 10\nas all the meetings with her committee meetings that day,\nit was just a really\ninformative lesson to me. And\npublic comment. I did. You know, the police operate. I that I felt good factual\ninformation trying to be as honest as possible. And\ncommunity also offered really good public comment in return.\nAnd I think it was just a\ngreat session and I hope you continue those sort of effort\nlearning and understanding I'm interested finance They'll be\nhandling the future of the\ntraffic issues that count suppressing Gallo. Very\nnicely. Spoke to back in\nJANUARY, FEBRUARY the state of California can have an\nimportant part in the future cast collection and we don't\nhave to pay for the services. How is that going? The the\nrecent funding from JANUARY? It's going to end probably\naround late APRIL MAY. I would\nguess how is that going over And just a good luck in in\naddressing on the tech\naccountability issues needed\nin that not subject you know, littered check traffic issues\nin step by. If do that openly\nunaccountably, it invites better selves and best practices and that's how you\nbuild a city. Thank you. Thank you your comments. MISS To\nBeekman going to MISTER Dalli. Please unmute yourself and\nbegin your comments. But this Kevin Galley and to discuss\nthe pending list for the Finance Committee requesting\nthat replaced the items related to the position\nparking administrator that on\nthe pending list for finance\nand make sure that the item to appear on the Finance\ncommittee before the items\nmade to count full, hoping\nthat they are put on when the city administrator slated to\npresent Partin minister that pulled from the finance\ncommittee at a meeting in in\nthe back and forth. We never\nquite but the 2 positions back on the pending lists buying\nit. It's important or council that followed the normal\nprocedure and help finance committee consider the positions before they come to\nthe Polk Thank you. Thank you for your comments. All names\nhave been caught. So no ting\nitem one. Item one. See the sending that APRIL 20 for sending that to the pending\nless. Is that correct? No date\nspecific entertain a motion.\nAnd a reminder, APRIL 21st Finance Committee will start\nat 09:00am. Move approval of\nthe penniless. On the motion by Council member Brown sing My Councilmember 5 to approve\nthat pending Liz Council member Brown. I Councilmember\n5. I count. I'm sorry.\nCouncil. PRESIDENT Jenkins. Noting that Councilmember\nRamachandran is excuse motion\npasses with a vote of 3 eyes.\nThat was all of your scheduling in action items for\nthis meeting. Moving to open\nform. Kevin Valley, the men in this crash, is approach the\npodium. And region so I can\neasily identify 3 years\nresting on district. 4. The police commission just made a major decision off agenda and\nout of public view. Commissioner was elevated in\nclosed session, but that decision was not listed on the\nagenda. So the public had no notice and no opportunity to\ncomment. That alone undermines public trust. And that's\ninconsistent in MAY 2024, this was handled in open session with the public agenda and a\nvote. So the question is simple. Why was this handled\ndifferently this time? This individual is rejected twice by city Council, but now its\nposition to become a full commissioner anyway, if\ncouncil said know, how does this process respect that\ndecision? Council Oakland is still under federal oversight\nand the court has been clear\nprogress depends on alignment and collaboration. Actions\nlike this create confusion and conflict when the city needs\nto be working together at a time in Oakland is so close to\nexiting federal oversight that\ncarries real risk. Thank you. Speaker Blair Beekman. Please\nunmute yourself begin your\ncomments. I thank you. Sb 707, starts the beginning JULY. The\nzoom item for the public. Good luck. And what can do is\ncommunity together. Before\nthen. What else they want to\nmention the strong mayor issues us a real good luck I\nheard the words from public comment about governance and man, I thought that was such\nbeautiful tournament. So well\ndescribe that. However, we move forward. I hope it's\ntoward governance and I I being from San Diego, you\nknow, they've been the council committee process has been\ntrying to develop, you know, really good examples of\ngovernance, a better governance. A strong mayor keeps rejected it in San\nDiego. Is that what's going to happen? And Oakland, we can only accept examples if it's from the strong mayor\nposition. Governance is vitally important good luck and how we can do that. I\nthink it can come from. A\ncouncil city manager position. Thank you. MISS A big move for\nyour Names have been called. Thank you.
