ProposalAI Summary
This Oakland City Council resolution reappropriates $185,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds from the Housing Assistance Center to the East Bay Community Law Center for fiscal year 2019-20 and awards a two-year agreement to that organization not to exceed $185,000 to provide anti-displacement legal services. The reallocation supports expanded legal service delivery related to Oakland's Fair Chance Access to Housing Ordinance, which was passed January 21, 2020, and limits criminal history screening in rental housing applications. The action addresses increased demand for anti-displacement services driven by the housing crisis and COVID-19 pandemic's impact on housing insecurity among low-income and African American residents.

This Oakland City Council resolution, introduced by Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas and three councilmembers, amends and restates the Council's Rules of Procedure in their entirety to increase public access and participation. The resolution modifies meeting times, amends public comment procedures and time limits, revises rules for maintaining order during meetings, and makes technical edits. The Council intends to manage agendas more efficiently to reduce wait times for the public, establish predictable discussion times for agenda items, and expand community engagement through education about participation procedures. The resolution directs the Council to maximize review of items by subject matter committees prior to full Council consideration to streamline Council meetings and expand public participation time on non-consent items, with the Council to consider shifting to a Consent Calendar without public comment in March 2024.
