Land Acknowledgement Statement: The City of Berkeley recognizes that the community we live in was built on the territory of xučyun (Huchiun (Hooch-yoon)), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-chen-yo)-speaking Ohlone (Oh-low-nee) people, the ancestors and descendants of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to all of the Ohlone Tribes and descendants of the Verona Band. As we begin our meeting tonight, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of Berkeley, the documented 5,000 -year history of a vibrant community at the West Berkeley Shellmound, and the Ohlone people who continue to reside in the East Bay. We recognize that Berkeley’s residents have and continue to benefit from the use and occupation of this unceded stolen land since the City of Berkeley’s incorporation in 1878. As stewards of the laws regulating the City of Berkeley, it is not only vital that we recognize the history of this land, but also recognize that the Ohlone people are present members of Berkeley and other East Bay communi ties today. The City of Berkeley will continue to build relationships with the Lisjan Tribe and to create meaningful actions that uphold the intention of this land acknowledgement.

18a. Measure FF Budget Recommendation - Expanded Fire Prevention Inspection Program (Reviewed by the Public Safety Committee)
From: Disaster and Fire Safety Commission
Recommendation: With the risk of catastrophic wildfire steadily increasing due to climate change, the Disaster and Fire Safety Commission (DFSC) recommends prioritizing wildfire fuel reduction in the FY 23 and FY 24 Measure FF budget by expanding the Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Inspection Program and fully enforcing the existing Fire Code to clear vegetation build-up and overgrowth within 100 feet of structures in Berkeley’s Very High Fire Severity Zones (VHFSZs) (Fire Zones 2 and 3). In addition, the Fire Code would be strengthened as needed to require removal of hazardous vegetation on the entirety of properties beginning in FY
25. The program would provide for City vegetation management crews to clear vegetation where property owners opt into the program or fail to comply, with no- interest liens placed upon properties to recover direct costs upon transfer. Special emphasis should be placed on eucalyptus groves due to their high flammability and potential to create spot fires. Funding for this expanded program, together with the Fire Department’s existing home inspection program, which is focused on creating defensible space around structures, would be supported by devoting 21 percent and 26 percent of Measure FF revenues for FY 23 and FY 24, respectively.
Policy Committee Recommendation: Positive recommendation to adopt the City Manager’s recommendation as presented in the companion report.
Financial Implications: See Report
Contact: Keith May, Commission Secretary, (510) 981-3473 Action: See action for Item 18b.
18b. Companion Report: Measure FF Budget Recommendation – Expanded Fire Prevention Inspection Program (Reviewed by the Public Safety Committee) From: City Manager
Recommendation: That the Berkeley City Council reaffirms its support for the work being conducted by the Fire Department (Department) and considers the Disaster and Fire Safety Commission’s (DFSC) Report during the FY24 budget process if the DFSC so chooses to resubmit an updated version at that time.
Policy Committee Recommendation: Positive recommendation to adopt the City Manager’s recommendation as presented in the companion report.
