Tom Wong April 30, 2025 0

Good evening and welcome to this, the February 10 meeting of Livermore City Council. I call the meeting to order. Roll call, please. Council member, Barry Antos. Right. Council member Dunbar. Here. Council member Wong. Here. Vice Mayor Branning. Here. Mayor Marchand. Here. To join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you. Okay, I’m going to reorder the agenda. We’re going to move 4, which is the open forum to, after 7.1, and they will now move on to the consent calendar. Do we have any public comments for consent? Yes, mayor. We do. The first speaker is David McQuiggan. Johnny the ****** martial arts. Excuse me. Excuse me. You or miss David Nougogin, you have to speak to the minutes. You are not speaking to the minutes. You are forfeiting your time. You can be going back back to the end. I gave you I’m sorry. I’m sorry. No. No. I’m sorry. You’re done. You you are done. You have forfeited your time. We will move you to the end, and you can complete your comments. We will move you to the end. Next speaker, please. The next speaker is Greg Scott. Good evening. Greg Scott. I’m speaking on the water rates. The water rate for our household is we have a service fee of $37, I think, and 1 billing. Wait. Excuse me. We’re speaking on 0.25 0.2. Okay. Yes. Thank you. Excuse me. On water rates. We and our our household, we pay. We have a service fee of $37 a month that’s with consuming no water. A unit of water is about $4. The unit of water is a hundred cubic feet. That’s about, 748 gallons. So we used in a billing cycle 1,500 gallons or less, and we paid $48 in there, $47. It’s a lot of money for that kind of water. In a month, that would be about 50 gallons a day. That isn’t that much water usage. I don’t know how people are paying their water bills, but this is getting outrageous, especially if you do any kind of landscaping. But we really shouldn’t be watering lawns. We’re wasting water greatly. And, you know, we’re gonna have to rethink water and water rates. What’s come out especially by president Trump and and the shipping. We ship 5,000,000 acre feet water south to Southern California in this in this water deal too. You know, it’s a gallon of almond for mister Resnick and the Resnick family. You know, it’s it’s the people on fixed incomes and people on lower incomes, this isn’t fair. The whole water thing isn’t fair. For the public, you know, 5,000,000 acre feet is about 12 something trillion gallons of water. We’re supposed to ship even more, and then president Trump comes out about the Delta smelt, smelt. You know, in the in the recovery program for Delta smelt in the last sampling period, they didn’t find any of that fish. We’re collapsing the delta. So we have to rethink our water, our water rates, and thank you. Mayor, that was the last speaker. Would you like to invite mister McWiggan back in? If you can if you can stay on the topic, perhaps. Otherwise, he’ll forward for this time again. You will speak to the minutes. I will, Johnny the Repus Marchant. Okay. Thank you very much. That is your salutation. Thank you very much. You are done. That’s your salutation. Please really keep both of them. No. We are moving on to the next. Agenda to be We are moving on to the next item. We’re moving on to the consent. Person is going to be placed at the end. You will relinquish the podium. Act targeting a specific individual that is contrary to your stated policies. I do do believe mister Ocala will tell you that you are not an optimum position for minimizing your legal exposure by doing that. But you’re deliberately good to act Cut the mic. Part of the official record. Thank you, Johnny, the ring to start. This. We are done. Next speaker. That concludes public comment for the consent. Consent calendar. Okay. Do we have anyone that wishes to pull an item for consent? Okay. Seeing none, I’ll entertain a motion. I’ll move consent. Is there a second? I’ll second. Okay. Motion made by Vice Mayor, Branning, seconded by, Councilman Dunbar. Any discussion on the motion? All in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Attentions? Pass unanimously. Thank you. Moving on to 6.1. This is a public hearing on renewable energy. This is an ADA community energy contract. Honorable mayor Marchand and members of the city council. This is your city manager, Mariana Monishma. And item 6.1 is going to be presented by the city’s sustainability program manager, Tricia Mento. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. All right. Good evening, Mayor and City Council. The item before you tonight is consideration of a 25 year power purchase agreement with Ava Community Energy. The project involves installing solar and battery storage system at 5 city facilities. That includes city hall, civic center meeting hall, maintenance service center, the police department, and the water reclamation plant. The systems will provide several benefits to the city, including improving energy resilience by providing back backup power during emergencies consistent with our climate action plan and emergency operations goals. We’ll reduce energy cost by allowing us to use energy from the batteries during times when grid electricity is more expensive. It lowers our reliance on diesel generators, and several of the sites will also include solar carports that provide additional shade in our parking lots. There will be approximately 36 spaces at City Hall, 20 spaces at the police department, and 4 at the Civic Center Meeting Hall that will be covered with solar canopies. The financial terms outlined in the contract include no upfront capital cost to the city. Ava Community Energy has selected 2 companies, Greenbridge and Gridscape, as a project financer and developer, and this team will install, own, operate, and maintain the systems. The city will make monthly payments to AVA for the electricity generated by the the panels and a flat rate for the storage capacity, and these payments will be less than what the city would otherwise pay for grid electricity without the project. And a crucial crucial reason we’re able to achieve these savings is because we’ve been able to grandfather the facilities under the state’s previous net energy metering laws, which provide higher compensation rates for excess solar energy that is sold back to the grid. And we’re able to maintain the status if we have assistance install installed by about April of 20 26. And despite that being over a year away, there are some concerns from the project development partners about supply chains and the potential for tariffs to negatively impact product pricing. But if approved tonight, the city manager will have authorization to approve the final agreement providing the project pricing and feasibility issues are resolved and the agreement remains in substantially the same form as the item being reviewed by council this evening. Staff is recommending that the city council adopt 2 resolutions tonight. The first is finding that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, and the second is authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement in substantially the same form as the 1 included in the agenda tonight and determining that doing so is in the best interest for the city. So that concludes staff’s presentation, and we’re available for questions. We also have JP Ross from Ava Community Energy here tonight who will help answer questions as well. Okay.

CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. (KGO) — On Wednesday, pro-Palestinian protesters affiliated with the group Council on

lanetary environment. The goal is to address inequities in energy access and prioritize the health of people and the environment. And now, therefore, it be resolved by the city council of the city of Emeryville that 04/22/2025 is hereby proclaimed as Earth Day in the city of Emeryville, and all residents, businesses, and institutions are urged to advocate for policy changes, adopt renewable energy solutions, and work towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for our planet as proclaimed by the mayor of the city council of the city of Emeryville at a regular meeting held Tuesday, 04/15/2025. We now have item 4.2, a presentation from the police department for the annual report. Chief Jennings. Alrighty. Good evening, vice mayor Carr, mayor Moore, and our former first mayor, Courtney Welch. So this is gonna be a brief, overview of our annual report. Normally, luckily, I have the 3 people who’ve been on my public safety committee who’ve seen this or a version of this before. Car just saw it a couple months ago. So, you know, what it normally looks like, but it’s also for, community members who did not have an opportunity to see it. They can see it through on, the webpage or the large gallery we have here today. So, with that, you see our annual picture we got right here behind us. You see a very eclectic, happy group. Next slide. Basically, my message, and my message is always the same. I appreciate the fact that I have a council that has given us the tools and the support to do what we’ve done, and I definitely appreciate my officers who have gotten the job done, bringing more trust in, community engagement, with the city. So I can’t I can’t do it without the officers that we have. Next slide. This is my former command staff. Everyone here is gone besides acting Lieutenant Dauer and PSM, Buze, but they’ll both be leaving shortly also, so that that’ll be different next year. Next slide. You’ll see my my main sergeants here. 3 of these people will be gone, in the next future. And, special thanks to Sergeant Pablo Roxas, who actually put the PowerPoint together and is our community engagement liaison, and also my, recruiting and training officer, which is critical to the growth of our organization. Next slide, please. Again, about staffing. You see some pictures, lovely folks, that we just hired. 1 of the highest, honors to bring new people into their organization. It’s important to hire good folks. That’s the beginning of having a good organization. At 1.1 glorious moment, we were totally staffed in October, but that has changed, with attrition and injuries and some people moved on. So you see the numbers right there. And at any point in time, feel free to ask me any questions. We can engage in this. We’re gonna keep it going. But again, you’ve seen this before. Next slide, please. Another thing that I’m proud of in our organization is the demographics. You see, we’re a very, diverse organization, by our numbers and by the photos that you saw. We definitely represent the community that we serve. 1 of the things I’m most proud of is the fact that I’ve made it intentional to hire, great qualified female officers. The national average for female officers is less than 10%. We’re up to 19% and, we’re on our way to get to 30%. That’s the national 30 on 30, initiative that’s been put on by the National Chiefs of Police. And, I’m informally a part of that. I’m going to, I’m going to get there. So we’re going to get there. Next slide, please. Again, our female, statistics, demographics are sworn. Again, seem very diverse. Nice. Next slide, please. Again, so what we hear about, our primary focus is to thwart crime, drive down crime, driving down the fear of crime. We’ve done an excellent job of doing that, and this is a for how you wanna get into it, a very layered, nuanced way of driving down crime that, with me and my 34 years of experience and my officers with a lot of experience have focused on with a with a vision of making sure that we’re integrated with the growth of the city and also the, the feeling of, togetherness in the city. So most of our crime is property crime. 85% of our crime is property crime. We have a rich, diverse, commercial, area. We have a lot of apartment complexes and most of our crimes are petty theft, based on opportunity to commit those thefts. Next slide, please. Or violent crime. Any crime of violence is also, you know, is a threat to our society, the fabric of our society. But our crime rate, again, is low, especially compared to our regional partners. 1 of the things also I pride myself on is I did a, longitudinal study of our crime from 2010 till now, where you’ll see across the region that most people most agencies’ crime is down 15% to 20%, if not higher. But a lot of those crimes are, are down from, a high point that they’ve had. We’ve never reached our high point in the last, 15 years. Our higher point of crime was 2019, and we’ve never gotten to that number back yet. So I’m pretty pleased with that number. The numbers went up during, went down during COVID, and then they shot up exponentially, 21, 22, 23. And we’re seeing, we’ve, ours was going up, but we’ve kept it below that high point number, which is really pleasing for us. Next slide. Again, showing that a crime is down 20%. The number is up to right now. We’re down another 10 to 15% on most crimes compared to last year. So, again, this is due to several factors in my opinion, 1 being a change in, public policy, that’s going across our region. Another is the fact that we’ve gotten the flock camera system. Another factor is that we had a significant increase in our staffing. So instead of running overtime to run the day to day operations of the police department, we’re using the overtime to thwart crime by using some of the graph, the grant money that you’ll see there on that we’ve used to put those strategically in areas that were crime was occurring to actually drive down crime further. So multi layered and everyone buying in on my vision And, the new hires are very enthused. Next slide, please. Again, breaking down the crime numbers. Again, petty theft being the highest. Our our, our crimes of violence are being the lowest, which is great. But, you know, any crime. We’re trying to get to a utopia where there is no scribe, and you don’t need police officers. And then our breakdown by demographics, and their rest. Next slide. Our juvenile rest remain consistently low. We consistently return juveniles to their homes, 79, 80 percent. The 1 the juveniles that end up going to juvenile hall usually have a warrant for the arrest for some other, reason. Possession of a firearm is automatic, take to juvenile hall. Usually, the robberies are depending how the robbery was committed. Was it force or fear? Was there actual violence used? They they automatically go to juvenile hall. So those numbers remain low, which is good for us at the win. Next slide, please. To me, this is important. And it really would be more important for the members who have not been on the, public safety committee. But this really explains how our use of force is used. Try to give an explanation. So if if you were to arrest me and then, Mayor Moore put me in a twist lock and Vice Mayor Moore put me in another twist lock is 1 victim or 1 suspect, but 2 incidents. So the numbers can be skewed in that sense, but every use of force is counted in our, in our matrix, and you can see less than 0.4% of our, our calls for service involve force, which is different from what you see in the news, it’s different from what you see, what you read in the paper. But that’s how, California counts our, our incidents of uses of force. Vast majority of our, contacts are traffic and a lot of talking. Next slide, please. Usually, we use the forces that will come complaints. Those are definitions of our dispositions of uses of, complaints. Not really nuanced. Either you, you know, we have very you’ll see the next we’ll just go to the next slide. Unless you have any questions. So you’ll see our numbers. Very part of our trans our transparency portal. All this is on our web page. You can find all this information. It’s on there. You’ll see that most of our sustainer for policy violations. And, essentially, every day, there’s somebody who’s doing a policy violation. It could be as as minor as not having your, your correct uniform on. So there’s policy violations day to day. But every time that we do a, internal affairs complaint, we look at it from top to bottom. If we find policy violations, you see those are sustained, but you don’t see any sustained for any, force, violence, rudeness. Well, there’s some rudeness in the sustained policy violation. But the ones that really get us in trouble of, the ones we don’t like, the mistake of the mind, where or the specific mistake of the heart. Whereas the heart where you’re you’re you’re malicy by malice committing, you know, hurting someone, believing in someone, we don’t have that in our organization. And those are born out in our internal affairs investigations, which are, which are low. Next slide. 1 of the reasons why I think that our crimes are down again, nuanced approach is the flock cameras. Thank you, council for approving that. Some of the numbers that come with that, 2,000,000 license plates are scanned monthly. Same license plate can run through the town 16 time. You count 16, 16 other times. But you’ll see some of the things. And these are numbers are just from, October when the cameras were fully off automated to December. So this is a short, snapshot of how the cameras have affected us. But the most important number to me, besides the ones we’ve arrested, is the 3 96 to 1 vehicles alerted and the 20 felony vehicles alerted. When officers are alerted, they see it. They go. They drive the car out of town. That anecdotally would be the reason why crime could be done also. So there’s several things that go involved with, fighting crime. This is a very good tool. City, manager Bellos just had me talk to our state senator regarding giving another federal grant, to maybe possibly or asking for, the rest of the cameras, to be paid for through a grant. So we’ll see how that that goes. So, I talked to Luca for quite a bit. I sent her our our staff report. So we’ll see what comes out of that. Next, slide, please. My staff, again, my my beautiful communication staff with part of my, parking enforcement staff, you see the amount of calls. A lot of calls for service.

Item 1 p h 2 5 0 1 5 is a public hearing for the recommended fiscal year 20 26 through fiscal year 20 35 capital improvement program. Does staff have a presentation for this item? Thank you, and good evening, madam chair and commissioners. I’m Alex Amiri, public works director for the city. Staff is pleased to be here this evening to present the city’s FY26, FY35 ’10 year capital improvement program. The development of the CIP has been a process involving many staff from various departments over the past several months. Public works and utilities team have been managed by senior management analyst, Ellie Lowe, and the process has been led by management analyst, Michael Wolney. As always, engineers, planners, and other staff in various divisions and departments have been involved and contributed to the process. Staff recommends that the commission finds that FY ’20 ‘6 ’30 ‘5 CIP is consistent with the city’s 02/1940 general plan and recommend its approval to council. I now turn this over to Michael Worny to kick off the staff presentation. By the way, Michael is at City Hall, but stayed stayed in his office to make use of his multi screen, setup. Thank you. Michael? Good evening, everyone. Can everyone hear me and see the presentation? Yes. We can hear you. Great. And, do you see the presentation? Okay. Perfect. Yes. Sounds good. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, planning commission, members of the public, and city staff. My name is Michael Wolle, and I am the management analyst in the public works department. This is the fiscal year 2026 to 02/1935 recommended capital improvement program presentation on how projects within the CIP are consistent with the 02/1940 general plan. Just for reference, the photo that you see here in the background is the completed phase 1 of the STAC Center, which I’ll mention again in some later slides. This is the fifth year that the CIP has been developed in the online OpenGov stories format. OpenGov stories is an online budget book development tool designed to increase the user friendliness and ease of navigation within a complex budget. It’s also intended to help increase the depth with which community members, council members, and other stakeholders can explore a budget. I will now open up the online book to provide a quick tutorial on how to navigate it. 1 moment while I switch screens. Okay. Can everyone see the CIP web page on the city’s website? Yes. Perfect. Okay. Scrolling down on the CIP web page, the public will see a blue bar, which will take the user to the online version of the CIP. This is the recommended viewing experience for the CIP because it includes a number of interactive tables and charts. If the public would like to view a printable version of the CIP, they can click the second blue bar here to view the entire CIP document in PDF format. There’s also a section on the website which includes the fiscal year 20 25 CIP semi annual progress report where users can view status of current projects. Now I’m going to scroll back up and click the first link to take you to the OpenGov platform. Here, you’ll see the home page. If you scroll down, you’ll see 4 main sections of the CIP. First, the introduction introduction section includes more information about the city’s elected officials and and organizational chart. Second, the strategic priorities includes an overview of the city’s strategic priorities and some featured projects that support these priorities. Third, the explore the budget section is the heart of the CIP, where the public can get key budget insights, such as the total proposed budget amounts, as well as information on various projects within the CIP. Lastly, the table of contents page will allow users to navigate within the CIP, which I’ll go over later. First, let’s look at explore the budget. As you can see, this page summarizes the fiscal year 26 budget at a high level. The recommended fiscal year 26 budget is a hundred and $61,000,000 and the total 10 year budget is at 1,300,000,000.0. Below that section are other key insights such as the total fiscal year 26 general fund transfers to CIP funds, which amount to approximately $3,000,000. The total fiscal year 26 internal service fees are approximately $3,900,000. And the total identified but unfunded capital needs portion is approximately 709,000,000. If the public would like to see further details on the projects that comprise these 3 amounts, they can click the links to the right side that say click here to learn more. Scrolling down, the user can choose either to view the CIP by fund or by category. I’ll start by clicking the fund link. Here, the public can see an overview of the city’s fund portfolio. If they click down into the table into the, carrots on the left, the public can view the total recommended budget amounts for specific funds. If the user, keeps scrolling down the page, they’ll see a description of each fund and every underlying text is a link to a new page that will show the various projects within each fund. For example, if I click on the fund 2 10 gas tax fund, I’ll be taken to a separate page dedicated to fund 2 10 projects. As you can see, I can click on each caret, and, it will show a short list of featured projects with each having their own project number and project page. If I scroll down, beneath the table, there’s also a short list of featured projects that have their own page. For example, if I click on the fiscal year 26 pavement rehabilitation project, I will see an image and description of the project along with an overview of revenue sources that contribute to this project, as well as the expense budget for this project. Now I’m gonna go back to the explore the budget, category page. And once again, the public, if I click on the total budget by category this time, the public will, again, will see a pie chart with the fiscal year 26 total budget, but this time broken down by category. Just like the fun page, the public will see a type table that populates a pie chart and allows the user to see the projects within their total budgets or organized by category. If the user continues down the page, they will also see the page’s, links for each category. For example, if I click on the livable neighborhoods link, I’ll see a description of what the category is and then another table and the projects and budgets that are in this category. Similar to viewing by fund, the bottom of this page will also show all of the featured projects within this category. In this case, parks and buildings, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, etcetera. Now, I’m going to go back to the Explore the Budget page 1 more time. And I would like to point out 2 helpful resources. First, starting with Appendices. If the public is looking for a specific project budget, but aren’t sure of how to find this budget, or excuse me, how to find this project, the user can click Appendix A for all project budgets by category. The Appendix A page will show an extended view of every project and its budget. The public can search for keywords using the control or command f function. For example, if I wanted to search for pavement, I can click control f, type in pavement, and then find all projects with the word pavement in the project title. On the other hand, if the user is looking for a specific project description and aren’t sure where to start, the best source would be Appendix B. So going back to the Explore page, I’m going to click Appendix B. On this page, the search functionality is actually built within the table. Again, if we wanted to search for pavement related projects, I can type in pavement into the project title search bar, click Okay, and this table will bring up all projects with the word pavement in the title. The easiest way to reset your search is to refresh your browser, like so. If you are ever lost or want to start over, the bottom of every page should have a table of contacts link. When the public opens the table of contents, the user will see an overview of the structure of the CIP to links to every single page in the CIP. This is the best way to navigate to a particular section or page quickly. The 3 main sections featured on the homepage are also here: the Introduction, Strategic Priorities, and Explore the Budget. The other 2 subsections of the CIP, by Fund or by Project Category, are also here. This allows the user to view project budgets and descriptions by fund or category, like we just went over. The last section, for other, shows the appendices as well as the CIP PDF link. The semi annual report for fiscal year 26 will be linked later this year as projects make progress. That concludes our tour of the online CIP book. I will now return to the presentation. 1 moment while I switch screens. Okay. And just 1 more check. You can see the PowerPoint presentation? Yes. We can see it. Great.

2/6/25 – Library Commission Meeting

Tom Wong April 17, 2025 0

have the requirement for graduation. All of the PUSD schools do and possibly some of the private schools. We even use it for training as well. We put training videos online and we can yeah. Very extensive, awesome product that we like to use. I just have 1 question and might get into discussion. I’m just curious why the teen programs went so down. Like, it was 47 in 2022 and 23 in the in the data we got in the That’s a great question. I think it came up we used this data for our prior presentation, and that same question came up. And I think it was how, and, Jeff, please correct me if I’m wrong. I have some recollection, and we can get you a more definitive answer. There was a change in the how we measured the the age groups. So what the library does is we report information to the state every year. So they give us categories, and we are trying to track all our stats based on the categories for the state report. It just makes it a lot easier. So I think there was something to do with that and possibly that we didn’t measure teens in in that period in the same way. Is that Or did you measure them in all programs? Grama that We could have done that. They could have been but we can get you a a a more accurate answer on that. 1 of your slides described interactive programs for youth as something people wanted. What does that mean exactly? So I would consider that a program I would consider that a story time program, but I would also consider it, like, our robotics and coding programs for kids, any art and craft program, anything that they’re participating in instead of just sitting and listening is how I would Okay. Like, not passive, I’m assuming. Even in the library world, I guess you could a a passive program could still be interactive and participatory. Passive would be more of, on your own versus a staff led grama, generally. And 1 of your slides mentioned community partnerships. Do we have any community partnerships with the library? We do through our, Value Humane Society with Paws to Read. It would be 1 of the biggest ones I can think of. School district. School district. Yes. Yes. That could definitely be a community partnership. I think we often refer to it as a district partnership, but it’s it is still a community partnership. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. Are we exploring the report further than or is this our discussion area? Oh, we are. Yes. I think we were trying to segment, we have, actually some questions we’d love for you to consider. Okay. You don’t need to respond to them all, but just, you know, kind of to kick off the discussion, but you’re, of course, welcome to discuss anything of interest. So I’ll pass it back to Jeff for that. Excellent. So we’re ready, moving on to our discussion. Using the perspective of your connections in the community and your personal experience, we would like you to input on the following. Do the planned program areas reflect the needs of our community? Are there emerging trends or community interests we should consider for future programming? And finally, what additional information would help you support outreach? And again, I’m more than happy to slide back to different slides here as needed. I guess 1 of the questions, and I’m not sure, you might have included it in the teen programs, but I know that in the past year or so, we had, the finance. We we sort of had a couple of presentations for teens or workshops for teens that had to do have the requirement for graduation. All of the PUSD schools do and possibly some of the private schools. We even use it for training as well. We put training videos online and we can yeah. Very extensive, awesome product that we like to use. I just have 1 question and might get into discussion. I’m just curious why the teen programs went so down. Like, it was 47 in 2022 and 23 in the in the data we got in the That’s a great question. I think it came up we used this data for our prior presentation, and that same question came up. And I think it was how, and, Jeff, please correct me if I’m wrong. I have some recollection, and we can get you a more definitive answer. There was a change in the how we measured the the age groups. So what the library does is we report information to the state every year. So they give us categories, and we are trying to track all our stats based on the categories for the state report. It just makes it a lot easier. So I think there was something to do with that and possibly that we didn’t measure teens in in that period in the same way. Is that Or did you measure them in all programs? Grama that We could have done that. They could have been but we can get you a a a more accurate answer on that. 1 of your slides described interactive programs for youth as something people wanted. What does that mean exactly? So I would consider that a program I would consider that a story time program, but I would also consider it, like, our robotics and coding programs for kids, any art and craft program, anything that they’re participating in instead of just sitting and listening is how I would Okay. Like, not passive, I’m assuming. Even in the library world, I guess you could a a passive program could still be interactive and participatory. Passive would be more of, on your own versus a staff led grama, generally. And 1 of your slides mentioned community partnerships. Do we have any community partnerships with the library? We do through our, Value Humane Society with Paws to Read. It would be 1 of the biggest ones I can think of. School district. School district. Yes. Yes. That could definitely be a community partnership. I think we often refer to it as a district partnership, but it’s it is still a community partnership. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. Are we exploring the report further than or is this our discussion area? Oh, we are. Yes. I think we were trying to segment, we have, actually some questions we’d love for you to consider. Okay. You don’t need to respond to them all, but just, you know, kind of to kick off the discussion, but you’re, of course, welcome to discuss anything of interest. So I’ll pass it back to Jeff for that. Excellent. So we’re ready, moving on to our discussion. Using the perspective of your connections in the community and your personal experience, we would like you to input on the following. Do the planned program areas reflect the needs of our community? Are there emerging trends or community interests we should consider for future programming? And finally, what additional information would help you support outreach? And again, I’m more than happy to slide back to different slides here as needed. I guess 1 of the questions, and I’m not sure, you might have included it in the teen programs, but I know that in the past year or so, we had, the finance. We we sort of had a couple of presentations for teens or workshops for teens that had to do with budget and managing money and learning a little bit more. And I know that I I remember they were fairly popular. I mean, there’s always been the the stock game, which is, you know, kind of interesting. It’s certainly a learning opportunity, but it seems like there’s a vast number of teens, a larger number of teens who could benefit from the the other, like, budget 1 0 1 workshop that I think that we did. And I I didn’t I wasn’t sure if that was still in here. I didn’t see it called out. But it seems to me that increasingly, that’s still an important factor. I mean, I hear more and more that that kids are coming out at coming out of college and just having absolutely no idea how to how to deal with their money. Yes. So, I know we have done programs in the past. We do also have digital resources. Our wife’s financial ratings and reports has actually a lot of PDFs online that kind of talk about finance 1 0 1. But again, yeah, for a programming, perspective, yes, I think I think the future ultimate goal would be to to have those and to continue to have those. Yeah. Yeah. I think that having them as a group, I mean, it’s it’s great to have online resources, but we all have that. I mean, we all have that at home. But I think to have the the opportunity to have community among that age group is huge. And the fact that the ability to sort of see the fact that other people need to know the same thing. I mean, it’s 1 thing if you’re at home and you don’t know and then you’re kind of alone. But it’s another thing if you’re in a group, and you have some community and you all say, well, gee, I really don’t know anything about this. You know, how can I get the help? I think there’s a there’s a hand holding element to that that’s valuable. It’s part of why we see so many teens in the library, like, after school and, you know, sharing about their homework and everything because it’s community. So I I would encourage us to think about, you know, continuing to do that sort of, you know, that sort of, project. Is this the adulting? Was it, like, adulting? I think it was adulting 1 0 1. Yeah. I think it was something like that.

Is this the time to comment on the consent or anything on the agenda? If if it is something on the consent calendar, I will, ask for public comment on on the consent calendar when that comes. So if you wanna wait, you can wait. I’m hoping to comment on something on the work session agenda. Should I wait or Yes. To comment now? Yes. Why don’t you wait and then I’ll, I’ll I’ll call back and I’ll be Okay. No worries. Thanks. Just checking. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. Okay. Next speaker is, Elizabeth Lisonbee. Welcome. Thank you. It’s interesting being on this side. Good evening, mayor and council members and city manager Alvarez. I’m Elizabeth Blanton. As most of you know, I’m a senior planner here in the development services department. I wanted to come to public comment tonight to tell you that I’ve been with the city for almost 7 years now, and I’ve really enjoyed my time working here. A major reason for that is that I’ve always felt that the city has valued me not only for the services that I provide for our community, but also as a whole person with a life and responsibilities outside of my job. Specifically, this was demonstrated when following the COVID pandemic, when it was time for our temporary work, flexibility to end. The city progressively decided to establish a permanent hybrid work policy with options for remote work. In the development services department, where I work, many of us were able to benefit from this hybrid work schedule, and this has led to better work life balance. It’s boosted our employee morale. And while still allowing us to fully cover our permit center, our general inquiry boxes, and our e permits portal, which is open 24 7. For me personally, I being able to work from home for part of the week has cut my commute time. I live in Richmond, so that’s 10 plus hours a week if I was coming in every day, down to 4 to 6 depending on the week. It’s also allowed me to use my lunch break to walk my dog or handle chores at home, things that would normally fall to a weekend activity. So then when I am here, I can be fully a weekend activity. So then when I am here, I can be fully rested, present, and able to serve our community. So as a as a result, I was disheartened to receive an email from the city manager yesterday directing all staff, to come back into the office full time. The decision was made without consulting staff. And from the email that was sent, it’s unclear why this significant policy change is necessary, and moreover, why a 1 size fits all approach is appropriate. Hayward’s decision to entirely eliminate remote work also goes beyond what many other Alameda County jurisdictions are doing and even what beyond what the state is requiring. So, doctor Alvarez, you’ve told us on numerous occasions that you are driven by data and that you welcome feedback and collaboration. Staff would be happy to provide you with data demonstrating our effectiveness in serving the community when working from home. We also would be happy to partner with you to identify areas where we could improve our service, and develop tailored strategies for doing so. But in order to do that, we need to be invited to the table. We all have a shared goal here to provide the Hayward community with the best service possible, and there’s no reason why this needs to be at odds with the city allowing for work life balance for its employees.

Oakland City Discipline Matrix Ad Hoc Committee (12/18/2024)

Tom Wong December 18, 2024 0

Transcript We’re now live. Thank you for joining us today for our discipline matrix ad hoc committee meeting. The time is 6:0:2. We have our chair, Ricardo Garcia Costa, who is in transit. We have our captain Bridal Hubbard, and we have deacon Reginald Lyles. Let me see if there’s anyone else in the audience that we should acknowledge. We have 1 participant from our from the public, miss Bridal. Welcome. And, we’re going to get started. I’m gonna turn it over to captain Hubbard. Alright. Thank you. Hello, everyone. I we’re gonna start with, like, we left off last week talking about custody of prisoners, and I’m sure that will take up most of our time this evening. But I do wanna go back to 38470. If you can see my screen here, subversive organizations. I made some changes to it. I’ll read it again. No member employee shall knowingly join, affiliate with, or support any organization, group, or gang involved in illegal activities, or designated as subversive by a competent authority within the Oakland Police Department, including the chief of police, CPRA, or an authorized designee. Such groups include, but are not limited to, organizations that seek to undermine, disrupt, or overthrow any form of lawful authority, whether that authority be vested in federal, state, or municipal government, city councils, or or other recognized lows local governing bodies or laws and regulations legitimately established under the jurisdictions of California, the United States, or other lawfully constituted entities. Additionally, any organization engaging in illegal acts against public order and safety may be considered subversive. The designation of a subversive organization will be based on a preponderance of evidence demonstrating that the organization actively participates in activities intended to undermine, disrupt, or overthrow such lawful authority or commit illegal acts against the public welfare, Membership or affiliation for any purpose related to advancing lawful objectives is strictly prohibited, except when such involvement is essential for official duties supported by a lawful investigative purpose and authorized in writing by the chief of police or a designated official. A long 1 there. The main change here is right in the middle. It was requested last week that we expand on what lawful authority is. That 1 is subversive against and included federal, state, municipal, city, local laws, California, United States, etcetera. And, as I stated last week, California Post, you’ll see it here on the side. They have government codes that govern them. It doesn’t explicitly address affiliations with subversive organizations. But it does talk about being in good moral standing. So 1, assumably, would not be hired if they’re part of a subversive organization because that would not be considered in good standing. Questions on that section? Excellent. I I definitely appreciate the the hack at this. This is pretty, pretty layered. The 1 thing that’s kinda standing up to me is the area in the first paragraph at the end, the bolded area where it says designated as the the mercifully competent authority within the Oakland Police Department. Can we also the way it’s written right there, I have no problem with that. But in terms of law enforcement, can we also expand it to, like, any other kind of, like, law enforcement, you know, folks that are not whether it be, like, an FBI or federal agent. I mean, there might be, like, a submersive gang that’s in a database with the FBI that’s been located, but maybe OPD doesn’t have it on their radar yet or something. You know? Sure. Yeah. I mean, that that would be the only thing I would add on that, but that I like that. That that looks pretty good. But that probably won’t be my final I’ll write that better, other law enforcement IDs to include, maybe. Okay? Like, you know, DOJ, all that type of stuff, Ryan. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Well, if if an organization decided to to, to have a march and demonstrate against, let’s say, the Oakland Police Department for what they thought was some unfair practice or some decision made by some court or whatever, and they marched in the streets. Let’s say, like, it was the NAACP. That would be a legal act marching in the street. Could they be considered subversive? What is what are what is their I think if if it’s not illegal against public order or safety, I would say no. Well, you know, every demonstration that happened in the past was an illegal act. Every 1 of them. Either they had them trespassing, or, they were didn’t have a permit to march in the street or not. So what they were doing was illegal. There’s no question about that. And, so, you know, I you know, some of us may be so young that we don’t remember those days that we think we take for granted that, someone or a group exercising their, free speech and demonstrate it, I just don’t want them to be considered as being subversive. See, I thought the Suburbs Act was not against overthrow of lawful authorities. I thought being subversive was was overthrowing governments in cities, municipalities. You know, you know, I think you ought to have a right to be able to demonstrate against the police. If the police have done anything, as long as it’s peaceful, and you ought to be able to come out in the street and protest, for whatever reason you wanna protest. But if you’re out protesting, then you then now we say, hey. You’re a subversive organization. I thought subversive means overthrowing a government. And it seems like it’s blended here in my reading of it is, you know, just, being disruptive against the lawful authority. Well, as a police officer, I’m a lawful authority, And and people have a right to demonstrate against, the the police. Or maybe you think they don’t. So it appears that we’re hung up on seek to undermine or disrupt, if it just says overthrow. Is that Yeah. I don’t I don’t see I don’t I I think you ought to be able to disrupt. I think that’s free speech. I think that’s first amendment stuff. And, but I’m not trying to overthrow the government. I just think that the the police are acting in a way that I wish they did not act. But I don’t wanna destroy the government. I’m not subversive. I’m I’m a citizen exercising my first amendment rights. I don’t think there’s a disagreement on the citizen side. I think this speaks to membership like the officers. So do we want officers doing that? And if I’m if I’m hearing correctly, I’m a say okay. Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. No. No. No. You go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. I yeah. Gotcha. An officer, an Oakland police officer, right, who’s off duty and demonstrated against a agency in Modesto that did something that was untoward. Can can we now say that this officer’s, is subversive? I don’t think he is. And I think he has a right to demonstrate if if he’s protest protesting against, you know, against, you know, spilling of oil in the bay or, environmental issues or fresh air, are you saying that if an officer does any of those things, they’re subversive? I don’t think they’re subversive. They I think they’re demonstrating, and I think they have a right to do that under the first amendment. And, so I think disrupting is, is a little too goes a little too far. Yeah. So as long oh, I’m sorry. Go ahead. That’s my I’m I’m I’m done. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And then and along those same lines, I also agree with you. Like, where does like, a slippery slope. Like, where do we draw the line, or where do you go from, like, exercising free speech or the right to gather legally, right, to now you’re becoming submersive. Now you’re disrupting public order. Right? I mean, what if you had a peaceful protest and now folks end up breaking property and disrupting the bridge and shutting down the street? Now they’re doing illegal activity. Could that be interpreted as now you’re being submersive to, like, government order and law? Right? I don’t think you’d be I I think it’s wrong I think you’re right. To deem a police officer off duty exercising his first amendment rights. And and and for that person to be deemed subversive. I thought this this subversive would be being part of a group, you know, criminal enterprise, you know, some some gang that is making, you know, illegal activity or some group that wants to overthrow the government Yeah. Or overthrow law enforcement. I have a problem with that. Yeah. Like January 6th. Like January 6th. Thank you very much. That At what point at what point, captain Hubbard, just kind of on a side note, just I’m trying to just process stuff. If if a cop is just out exercising their free speech, you know, the example Dekelau said, like, let’s say, like, an oil spill in the bay and there’s, like, a group that’s protesting a oil company or, you know, has nothing to do with, like, law enforcement issues or anything like that. Right? And they’re out there exercising their speech. And then at some point, let’s say and and, again, I’m not saying I’m not suggesting that this is subversive, but just on a side note, in terms of just, like, illegal behavior, like, let’s say a group starts splintering off, breaking property, disrupting traffic, doing things that are basically, could be classified as, you know, you get cited for or arrested for. Right? At what point, not suggesting that it’s subversive, but at what point is an officer like, okay. Maybe I need to walk away from this situation because if I get photographs next to a person breaking glass, they identify me as OPD. This could now be a negative reflection or bridal real repute to the organization. Like, is there a point now that you have responsibility as an officer that, like, there’s laws being broken around you that you kind of, like, step away from that?
