BCDC, the state body with power over City/County coastal water-way adjacent land, is finally issuing a long-threatened cease & desist order on Union Point Park encampment, which would obligate City to close it by February 2021 #oakmtg
City had tried to stay ahead of an C&D Order by following a closure plan for UPP last year, relocating camp to an end of UPP, w/a planned closure by April, 2020. Covid postponed that. BCDC now plans to make good on the Order at next mtg--compelling City to close camp by Feb, 2021
The City still opposes the 2/21 date and hopes to push it back until after County and City Covid orders are lifted, but it appears that BCDC likely won't agree. For the moment, the date of order remains to be determined, tho. Mtg is 10/1 at 9:30am bcdc.ca.gov/enforcement/20…
I reported the City's Union Point Park plan here patreon.com/posts/33712297 and closure here patreon.com/posts/33208959

Haubert suggesting pushing submissions back one week to get out of holiday season impact.
Carson arguing for his part, that the schedule is soon for his successor on the BOS to be a functional part of the process. "implore people to deeply consider that"
Carson said that the timing on moving on both recalls was "premature...I'm not too sure that after one year in office, an active campaign to remove people gave people the opportunity to focus on the job they were elected to do..."

Vote Update: Latter tranches of votes come in lower for Mayoral recall, but likely won't be enough. Latest batch itself 43% vs 57%. Total gap still large: on Friday was 63.8% vs 36.15%, now 61.59 vs 38.41. With 99K counted, this could be around half the votes with 70-80% turnout Image
Relative newcomer Rowena Brown pulled ahead of Leronne Armstrong in straight votes, way ahead in RCV. The trend of Brown getting a huge number of Wang's votes, despite Empower Oakland recommending an LA/Wang slate continues: she gets half Wang's votes, double Armstrong's share Image

Things are worse for Dreyfuss' bag man for the recall, Len Raphael, losing votes with each update. He was at 15.19% Friday in straight votes, now 14.92%. He actually benefits in RCV from getting a few hundred of Frank's votes, boosting his share to 16.78% Unger 83.2% Image

Sitting in on today's case conference where Chanin and Burris' report back to NSA will be heard. Chanin & Burris say current scandal, where Armstrong's IAD failed to hold a police officer who paid witnesses and perjured, shows the OPD should be put under more rigorous oversight.
*accountable...at today's meeting, Chanin, Burris and also the Oakland Police Commission Chair, Marsha Peterson. It will be interesting to see where she and OPC land on this, as she and others have seemed resistant to holding Armstrong accountable
I also see Mac Muir, CPRA Director. CPRA's independent investigation of IAD's faulty investigation is what led to all this...but its unclear that investigation is even available to plaintiff attorneys, Burris and Chanin, as they referred to DBG & Ali Winston's reporting instead.

At Life Enrichment, a crowd came out to show support for Carroll Fife who has been under attack by right wing groups aligned with recalls, led by Dominique Walker, "thank you for all that you do for us", listed Fife's accomplishments and help for community with homeless families. Image
Shereena Thomas recounting how Fife helped her through health problems and disability. "I don't know any other person who has been in the trenches...I don't know of any other Cm who has done for community as she has. The record speaks for itself and I have receipts" Image
"I grew up on 57th in Oakland, I've been homeless 5 times in my life...I was sleeping in my car [when covid came], I was working a temp job & I couldn't work remotely..." Fife helped pay for hotel, buy a car, & work w/Moms 4 Housing. Victim of PTSD, single mom whose son passed Image

🚨As I seem to be the only reporter interested in, and covering, the closure of this year's budget gap now that its confirmed the Coli sale won't cover FY 23-24s deficit, here's what the City Admin now suggests for closure, along with substantive changes from previous plan🧵
The CAO previously proposed 30 MM in cancelled carry forwards, transfers to other funds & etc to close about 20 MM of gap. That would have been 30 MM, but CAO left a 10 MM buffer contingency just in case. That left about 42 MM, which was meant to be covered by portion of Coli $$. Image
Now the City is absorbing back the contingency, making it an even 30 MM again. That leaves 30 MM to close; 19.3 MM of that will be resolved thru the following actions, including cancelling a new $9 MM OPD/OFD fleet, & 6MM use of library bond measure on library exp Image

I'll revise this: in their ignorance of the politics, OPC got Chief Mitchell and a staffer to acknowledge what Council never will:
Mitchell: "the police dept is slowly shrinking..."
OPD budget staffer: "cola increases in staffing, that makes up the difference [in increase]"
Mitchell returned to the subject and made it completely clear: "the cola increases built into the OPOA contract" increase the costs of the police, while the OPD is shrinking.
What OPC won't be able to cohere on here, Oakland's policing is currently untenable in its current conception. Every year budget is increasing due to guaranteed 3.5% cola increases the Council was badgered into passing by Schaaf and Armstrong. Meanwhile, academies underproducing
