Jackson says there will be no community engagement process for the police chief search because several candidates want to be kept anonymous. #oakmtg
Gage responds to the idea of keeping candidates anonymous. He urges ad hoc committee to at some point make the finalists public #oakmtg
Rashidah Grinage says that there have been community engagement processes in the past, and says that Police Chief candidates who wouldn't want to be involved in that should be considered to have a demerit because of it #oakmtg

At Finance now, Director Erin Roseman: "reduced revenues and overspending in police department..."
Image
Image
City's revenues are trending downward from last year, the most significant being Real Estate Transfer, then Business License Tax...some are trending upward, but not enough to counteract the declines" Image
Current decline in RTTF is akin to what happened in great recession...after 2006 going to 2008, revenues from RTTF declined, same pattern is visible if you look at chart in 2021...steep decline in 2022 and 2023...large part of this is due to things beyond city's control.

Despite never numbering more than twenty people on the ground, the finance/real estate backed Price Recall rallies always attract a large share of media, often more than 50K protesters taking over a freeway. Ask why, and you have the answer to many of Oakland's problems.
These rallies are the only ones where I'm ever actually over on my head count. It's not even twenty, and I said two dozen earlier as a mocking joke, but they were just above one dozen.
Another w/no details about changes. It's ironic that the accusation from the recall backers is that BOS is trying to "confuse" voters, when its Velena's vacuous reporting doing that. She doesn't even get what's at issue right. nbcbayarea.com/news/local/eas…

There definitely is this weird cottage industry in sports where fans love to follow pundits that get everything wrong time n again, with Howard Terminal as the clearest example of that. None of these doofs ever knew what they were talking about, they still obviously don't.
Case in point, I believe these grant numbers are inflated & City never provided an in-print total, Regardless, they reveal dishonesty of pundits & even Thao, who claimed Oakland is "88 MM" or "100 MM" away. Assuming these numbers aren't also invented--a big if--it's nearly 200 MM Image
What I find interesting in all this is once the deal became impossible, Thao collaborated with local sports reporters to start throwing out numbers that can't be verified; there's no City report on any of this. They are wildly inventing it all with clear goal of conning fans

The special meeting to introduce Council President Bas' amendments for the budget has begun. That's the first item. Not likely there'd be a vote today at all on the whole budget
Bas is introducing the amendments, she says there've already been hard decisions made. Going through the list, I've already covered this in threads. Reversing the OFD brownouts, adding 2 MM in DVP; ambassadors for biz corridors; traffic safety 1 MM; 2 civ police investigators ImageImage
Adding a dedicated MACRO team for Oakland libraries, a new fund to create rapid housing for homeless ImageImage

Who is going to write the counter-memory hole article about the last 3 years of ugly negotiations? 🧵
Just after beginning serious negotiations, Kaval/Fisher broke them off to instead launch a pressure campaign with sports/mainstream media more than willing to help
The pressure campaign's narrative was that the A's had offered a generous package to the City on HT, but that evil Council members were blocking it. The truth was that Fisher ordered our City to pay what could be a billion dollars in offsite infrastructure. Image

At Public Safety, OPD recounting new IAD policy practices as a result of the Armstrong issues: Image
It's an absolute fact that thanks to dumbing down by corporate media for decades, no one actually understands how police are made, how an academy is created and the actual fact that the number of people who want to be police AND CAN is extremely finite.
The Oaklandside story on payments for witnesses came up during Public Safety. Not surprisingly, OPD didn't budge on it oaklandside.org/2023/06/13/oak…
