FISCAL YEAR 2023-2025 PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS MEMORANDUM

Dear Mayor Thao, City Administrator Johnson, and City Councilmembers:

Attached are proposed amendments I am submitting to the Fiscal Year 2023-2025 Biennial Budget with accompanying policy directives for your consideration.

Mayor Thao’s “One Oakland” $4.2 billion budget proposed significant enhancements to housing resources, filling critical staff vacancies, expanding the Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oaklan d (MACRO) Program, senior center improvements, early childhood education, and sustained investments in our community parks. The “One Oakland” budget also includes reductions that may be impactful for the administration to progress on our District 7 priorities including violence prevention, community safety, illegal dumping and blight removal, traffic safety and homelessness services.

More than 500 of our residents and business owners have been engaged in developing our budget priorities, including those laid out in our District 7 Budget Memo during this process. They have participated in City Council meetings, our District 7 Budget Town Hall, budget survey, and community discussions. The priorities uplifted and aligned with our community pillars, include:

Keep Oakland Safe and Protected:
• Sustain the current level of funding for the Department of Violence Prevention agency contracts, including those implementing school safety initiatives, violence interrupter, youth, and gender-based violence prevention programs
• Dedicate foot patrol and sustain bu rglary suppression units in District 7 commercial corridors, and citywide sideshow and traffic enforcement units, and crime lab positions • Dedicate funding for community safety ambassadors in residential and business corridors • Fund District 7 traffic safety calming and violence prevention measures • Fund the requested Fire Department staff and operational needs

Keep Oakland Clean and Beautiful:
• Assign a dedicated illegal dumping blitz crew for District 7 • Fund Public Works Department equipment maintenance and ongoing operational needs, prioritizing mechanics in the citywide hiring blitz.
• Dedicate funding to fully staff the Oakland Public Works and Human Services Department "clean and clear" team to address hom eless encampments and improve homelessness prevention services

Keep Oakland Housed:
• Negotiate the purchase or lease of three existing hotels in District 7 with the intention of affecting transitional and permanent housing
• Fund a Human Services Department Home Preservation Pilot Program focused on physical improvements, accessibility, and healthy homes for our seniors

Keep East Oakland Served, Connected and Prioritized:
• Sustain funding for the Cultural Arts Division with equitable program outreach and local artists/organization funding in District 7
• Target Human Resources Department Vacancy Strikeforce hiring blitz outreach and engagement with community workforce organizations in East Oakland

As city leaders, we must continue to work together to prioritize where and how we dedicate critical and essential services as we face a historic deficit of $360+ million in our general fund. Tough decisions are before us to secure a stable path forward. We must also ensure that our decisions allow us to address the needs of our most vulnerable residents with timely response and adequate staff to implement city services across The Town. We hope to assure them through this process that their priorities will be responded to through the budget and further operational decisions to equitably resource their needs.

To that end, I am offering the following budget amendments to progress on delivering services to our most impacted and vulnerable communities in East Oakland and throughout the city.

FISCAL YEAR 2023-2025 PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS

Keep Oakland Safe and Protected:
• Allocated additional funding for violence prevention community-based contracts in the Department of Violence Prevention
• Allocated funding from the $6.1 million dedicated to traffic calming measures and intersection safety for traffic requests in District 7
• Dedicated funding for community safety ambassadors in residential and business corridors in Districts 4, 5, 6 and 7
• Sustained the Administrative Analyst II position in the Office of the Inspector General

Keep Oakland Clean and Beautiful:
• Funded Public Works Department equipment maintenance and ongoing operational needs, including for illegal dumping and blight
• Recommended policy directives to develop written frameworks for equitable deployment of illegal dumping and blight service delivery to ensure dedicated and proactive response

Keep Oakland Housed:
• Funded a Human Services Department Home Preservation Pilot Program focused on physical improvements, accessibility, and healthy homes for our seniors • Allocated funding from the $5.3 million in council contingency for affordable and transitional housing to a transitional housing project in District 7 • Allocated funding from Measure Q (Parks and Recreation) for homelessness services

Page 3 ends

Keep East Oakland Served, Connected and Prioritized:
• Sustained grant funding for the Cultural Arts Division in the Economic and Workforce Development Department
• Equitably allocated $93,750 per Council District from the $750,000 Direct Community Grant allocation
• Allocated additional funding for ballot measure development to include the Recreation and Youth Programming and Emerald New Deal Ballot Measures
• Allocated funding from Measure Q (Parks and Recreation) for facilities maintenance at youth-serving organizations
• Funded additional food protein options for the East Oakland Senior Center

FISCAL YEAR 2023-2025 PROPOSED POLICY DIRECTIVES

Keep Oakland Safe and Protected:
• Assign and deploy dedicated foot pat rol teams in Districts 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the fifteen officers funded
• Rollover the $150,000 secured in the FY 21 -23 by Councilmember Reid and former Councilmember Taylor for public safety security cameras in commercial corridors in East Oakland Districts 6 and 7 into the upcoming FY 23-25 budget cycle • Conduct a feasibility study of the END HARM (Emerald New Deal Healing and Restitutions Measure) charter amendment. This reparative legislation would funnel up to $160 million over 20 years from Oakland’s Cann abis Business Tax revenue back into communities that were disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs • Direct City Administration to provide an analysis to be included in the upcoming Capital Improvement Project cycle for traffic-calming solutions at Mountain Blvd between Keller Ave and 98th Ave, a significant stretch of arterial roadway, that is consistent with both immediate safety needs and planned changes due to the Oak Knoll development

Keep Oakland Clean and Beautiful:
• Expand the illegal dumping enforcement surveillance cameras program, with license plate reader technology, in partnership with the Privacy Advisory Commission • Direct the City Administrator to return to Council with a plan to fund , including but not limited to the consideration of the availability of additional available fund balance in the General Purpose Fund at the time of the Q3 Revenue and Expenditure Report

Keep Oakland Housed:
• Initiate the appraisals of three hotels in District 7 with the intention of affecting transitional and permanent housing
• Direct the City Administration to implement a 2- year data-driven Home Preservation Pilot Program for Seniors within the Human Services Department to create a pipeline to physical improvements focused on accessibility and health for seniors that can include renters, owners, single-family and multi-unit dwellings
• Utilize public/city-owned land and hotels for the development of deeply affordable, family, transitional age youth (TAY), veteran, and senior housing for temporary and permanent housing solutions --prioritize development in transit corridors and partnerships with the Black Housing Advisory Taskforce (Black HAT), government agencies, faith, housing, health, and community-based organizations

Page 4 ends

Keep East Oakland Served, Connected and Prioritized:
• Develop written policy frameworks for equitable service delivery in each department, beginning with foot patrols teams, illegal dumping crews, and “clean and clear” homeless encampment teams , that state how these services are deployed in the community, by geography, and include this as a legislative priority for the fall agenda • Investigate the development of a ballot measure to support additional revenue generation for the Oakland Parks and Recreation & Youth Development programming. This department has yet to have a ballot measure put forth to the voters for consideration for ongoing support
• Investigate a “no-fee” model that would allow low -income residents, particularly youth, the ability to attend Oakland Recreation Programs at no cost and what would be needed to implement that program

In the Fiscal Year 2021-2023 Biennial Budget process, I secured funds for programs and strategies that contributed to the positive forward development of our streets, community parks, small businesses, youth and senior services, public health, and public safety. Those funds were critical in addressing the impacts that affect our most vulnerable populations in Oakland, particularly District 7, where mostly Black and Brown neighbors are faced with the crippling weight of long - standing disparities and inequities that have plagued our community before the pandemic. While we recognize the budget crisis will not provide sufficient funding to meet our fiscal challenges, we hope the administration will increase operational efficiencies with more equitable allocation of the available resources to better serve all Oaklanders.

I look forward to further discussing and collaborating on the enhanced operational, organizational, and fiscal strategies proposed by our administration to realize sustained positive outcomes for a more just “One Oakland”.

I respectfully submit my budget amendments and policy directives for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Treva Reid
Councilmember, District 7
