Mexican Sage and much of the other vegetation were planted at that time. Several months ago Caltrans removed the previously untouched, dense underbrush at the upper third of the ramp making room for the next stage.
Grime Busters will remove litter, weed and prune the entire length of the ramp and will be making preparations for additional landscaping to be installed the following week. Tools, gloves, water and safety vests will be provided. Parking in the Lakeview Elementary School lot is recommended. For more information contact Hayden Foell at 836-3322.
Monday,
March 17, 6:30 - 9:00pm: Community Meeting #2 – Zoning Update for
the Central Business District including the Western Edge of Lake Merritt.
Location: Lake Merritt Sailboat House (inside Lakeside Park at Lake Merritt), 568 Bellevue Ave.
This meeting, which is sponsored by the City’s Community & Economic Development Agency, will focus on allowed uses and development regulations for proposed new zoning districts in the Central Business District. If you live or own property in the Central Business District, you should make every effort to attend this meeting, so your voice can be heard on the topic of future development standards in downtown.
The proposed regulations for the downtown area are part of the citywide effort to update the City of Oakland’s Planning and Zoning regulations to make them consistent with the General Plan. The Central Business District is the area generally bounded by 23rd Street to the north, I-980 and I-880 to the east and south respectively, and the western edge of Lake Merritt and the Estuary.This meeting is the second of two community meetings that have been scheduled to
introduce and discuss height limits, allowed uses and development standards for the proposed zones for the Central Business District, including Chinatown and the western edge of Lake Merritt. The first community meeting, held on March 1, 2008, focused on discussing proposed height/intensity regulations for the CBD area. The purpose of the meeting on March 17, 2008 is to present an overview of the proposed zoning regulations for the CBD, focusing on allowed uses and development standards.For more information about these meetings, workshop materials for March 17th, future meetings, and the citywide zoning update in general, please check here regularly: or contact Neil Gray in the Planning Department: (510) 238-3878.

Adoption of a bicycle parking ordinance is a priority recommendation of the recently approved Bicycle Master Plan (2007) as well as the prior bike plan approved in 1999. The City’s Community & Economic Development Agency is drafting an ordinance, which would result in the provision of end-of-trip facilities integral to making bicycling a viable form of transportation. The draft ordinance addresses bicycle racks, lockers, cages and showers, and how these facilities would be included in future development.
Please join us for a presentation and discussion of the draft bicycle parking ordinance.

Their congregation is not only a spiritual center but also a community center for Tongan people in the area. Their church building is a lovely historic structure near Garfield School on 23rd Avenue.
The Church of Tonga is holding a youth cultural event on Saturday, March 22, featuring island dance and drumming, luau including a roast pig, and other cultural traditions. They would like to invite Oakland youth, and even some of us older folks, to stop by and enjoy the festivities.Click here for the flyer.

REPORTS
Report on March 5th
Public Safety Community Meeting
OPD and City leaders listen intently to public speakers at Community meetingI received very positive feedback from the people who attended our community meeting on March 5 to discuss crime and safety in Oakland. The auditorium at Brewer Middle School was full and people were still eager to ask more questions when we had to wrap up after two hours.
People asked questions about a host of issues, including how the city plans to recruit and train more police officers, what violence prevention programs are doing, what Problem-solving officers (PSO's) do, what are police staffing levels in their neighborhoods, how to most effectively communicate with OPD, what happens to youth offenders, what's happening with the DA and prosecutions, and what OPD can do to stop robberies in our neighborhoods.
In response to the citywide issues, a lot of detail was provided by Chief Tucker and Lenore Anderson, the Mayor's Public Safety director. Captain Orozco addressed the neighborhood concerns, particularly how he is directing resources in response to crime trends for Area 2. We also got to meet about a dozen officers before they headed back to duty on the street. Also attending the meeting and joining in the dialogue were Councilmembers De La Fuente and Quan.
There was really a lot of information shared, and afterwards several people told me that they felt much more confident that the City is responding intelligently and strategically to the many challenges we face. This is not to say that people do not continue to worry about the level of crime, or desire more officers in their neighborhoods, but at least they know that City leaders have carefully examined all the issues and options and are making decisions accordingly.
I'd like to highlight two key developments regarding public safety:
** The augmented recruiting and training plan proposed by Mayor Dellums was approved by the City Council with some minor changes. The plan is designed to put 803 sworn officers on the force by the end of 2008. OPD is off and running with the advertising and recruiting.
** The City and the Oakland Police Officers Association (OPOA) will enter into a new contract pursuant to the terms of an arbitrator's decision. There were wins on both sides. The contract terms are extremely detailed, but key items for the City are significant management rights including the right to schedule and deploy officers as needed and the right to civilianize many OPD positions currently filled by sworn officers. The OPOA got a good economic package with 4% annual increases. The civilianization provision should be very positive for public safety, as it allows the City to begin hiring civilians to fill desk positions, thus freeing sworn officers to work where needed most, such as patrol and investigations.-------

Waste Management settles with City of Oakland: Extra services to benefit
Oakland residents
I am pleased to report a very beneficial settlement between the City of Oakland and Waste Management. As a result of the Waste Management lock-out that interrupted garbage service to Oakland residents in July, the City filed a claim for breach of contract. The first phase of compensation to customers was a rebate of their bills for the month of July. And now the entire matter has been tentatively settled, giving Oakland an excellent package of extra services for the five remaining years of the City's contract with WMAC (at no extra cost to customers). The services include:
Enhanced Residential Recycling Services
- Add plastic containers (#2, #4 & #5) like yogurt and margarine tubs to the residential recycling program
- Provide curbside household battery (like AA, C, 9 volt) collection
- Establish rate for green-waste collection service at multi-family
buildings
Programs and Services to Reduce Illegal Dumping and to Enhance “Greening” Oakland
- Augment City’s program for picking up illegal dumping
- Annual amnesty (free) days for dumping tires, appliances and mattresses
- Twice-a-year bulky residential service: second collection for the first 500 call-ins
- Bulky waste pick-up extended to apartment buildings with 5-9 units
- 200 yards of finished compost annually for City and community projects
Public Education
- Consumer campaigns on waste reduction and Zero Waste
Adding WMAC's billing rebate to residential customers for July 2007 ($3.03 million) the total value of WMAC's compensation to Oakland is valued by WMAC at approximately $7.89 million. Also, WMAC has agreed to pay compensatory damages to the City in the sum of $337,221, to cover the City's out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to the lockout. All in all, a very favorable result for Oakland residents and one which will help us reach our Zero-Waste goal by 2020. Formal approval of the terms of the settlement will go before the City Council on March 12.
Voice Your Opinion on the Governor’s Proposed Cuts to the Education
Budget
The California State PTA opposes the Governor's proposed cuts to the education budget of nearly 4.8 billion dollars. To take action, visit this website and find out what you can do to help stop this.
This would be devastating to a district like OUSD, which already has financial challenges. So I would urge everyone to become familiar with the issue and let your voice be heard.
Oakland City Council Opposes Aerial Pesticide Spraying to Eradicate Light
Brown Apple Moth
The Oakland City Council unanimously passed a resolution on March 4, 2008, which opposes aerial spraying in Oakland until the state has studied the public health implications and determined that there are no environmental or health risks.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CFDA) and USDA have proposed moth-control programs for the Bay Area which in part include the aerial spraying of pheromone-based pesticide in many areas, including Oakland. If the state plan is not changed or stopped, spraying could begin in Alameda County in summer 2008. The CDFA plans to spray for three nights, every 30 days for three to five years or until the moth is eradicated.
According to the state, aerial spraying of a chemical over Bay Area cities is necessary to eradicate the light brown apple moth, which is deemed an invasive species. The State is claiming an emergency exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act to begin spraying without conducting any real environmental review of the program.
Despite hundreds of complaints of adverse health reactions to the chemical when it was sprayed in the Monterey/Santa Cruz area last year, the California Department of Food and Agriculture is moving forward with its plans to spray a pheromone-based chemical called “Checkmate” over Bay Area cities including Oakland this summer.
When the CDFA appeared before the Oakland City Council, I asked whether the product had ever been sprayed over populated areas and the health effects studied. Amazingly, they said it has not.
The Oakland City Council also authorized the City Attorney’s Office to coordinate with other Bay Area cities on an aggressive legal strategy to compel the State of California to perform a serious environmental review before conducting the massive aerial pesticide spraying program in the region.
For background and general information on the aerial spraying, here are some useful links:
http://www.panna.org/resources/lbam
http://www.kqed.org/epArchive/R802191000
• Oakland lawmakers have been in touch with their state and federal colleagues to urge them to take action to stop the spraying until health effects can be determined. Several State Assemblymembers including Carol Migden, Mark Leno, Loni Hancock and Sandre Swanson have proposed legislation to related to aerial spraying. (To see the specifics of each legislative proposal click here and search AB 2892, AB 2764, AB 2760, AB 2765, AB 2763).
What can you do if you oppose aerial spraying in the Bay Area, particularly in Oakland:• Contact your state Assemblymember to make your views known.
Email Assemblymember Sandre Swanson here or contact him at 1515 Clay Street, Suite 2204, Oakland, CA 94612 or
Phone (510) 286-1670; Fax: (510) 286-1888• Contact your U.S. Congressional Representatives to let them know that the USDA quarantine California products is forcing the state to propose a plan for aerial spraying and that you have concerns about that plan. Without the pressure and funding for the spraying provided by the USDA, more appropriate plans might be considered and potentially implemented.

T-Mobile and City Year Makeover Manzanita Recreation Center
You would be thrilled to see what 650 hyper-organized volunteer hours accomplished on February 29th to give Manzanita Recreation Center an extreme make-over. This once-drab center with its chipped turquoise interior now sports freshly painted walls and animated murals conceived by the children who use the center. New shelves were built and installed. Benches built by the volunteers were planted under trees. The entry has a prominent name and new landscaping, welcoming all to come take a look.Who made all this happen? T-Mobile Huddle Up and City Year. Huddle Up is a community outreach and employee volunteer program of T-Mobile USA helping kids from high-need, urban communities to connect with positive people, places and programs. Eighty T-Mobile volunteers turned out for the day, investing resources and employee time and
energy.Joining Huddle Up were 50 volunteers from City Year, a nationwide nonprofit that engages 17-24 year–olds as corps members for a year of full-time community service. City Year served as a model for the creation of AmeriCorps in 1992 and is now a part of it. For more information about City year, go here.
My heartfelt thanks go to the 130 volunteers from T-Mobile Huddle Up and City Year for their very hard work transforming Manzanita Recreation Center in one day. Wow!
Mayor Dellums & Kaiser Permanente Announce Expansion of School-Based
Health Centers in Oakland Schools (starting at Oakland High!)
Oakland High School, in District 2, was the site for a ground-breaking celebration for a series of school-based health centers in Oakland. Mayor Ron Dellums and Bernard J. Tyson, executive vice president of health plan and hospital operations for Kaiser Permanente, were joined by members of the Oakland City Council, Alameda County Board of Supervisors, the Oakland School Board, and the Alameda County Health Care Services to announce a $3 million grant from Kaiser, which, in concert with funds from the cooperating agencies, will fund school-based health centers in Oakland middle and high schools. The centers will provide comprehensive clinical and social services to children in the Oakland.

Providing Information to a Dispatcher When You Call 9-1-1 (or 777.3211
From Your Cell)
Have you ever called 911 for police service and wondered about the questions the Dispatcher asked you? At my recent meeting on Crime Prevention we heard what Dispatchers must learn from callers in order to provide police officers with the essential information they need to do their job. Following is a summary.
When you call the police to report a crime, the Dispatcher will ask you questions to determine what type of crime you are reporting and the priority of the incident. Dispatchers are expected to conduct an interview and obtain all pertinent information within a minimum amount of time. In order for Dispatchers to relay information to patrol officers in a timely manner, it is very important that they control the direction of all interviews. The most helpful thing you can do when calling the police department is to cooperate with the Dispatcher. Most interviews are completed within 1.5 minutes. Keep in mind in emergency situations, as the Dispatcher is conducting the interview, the information you provide is being typed in and relayed simultaneously (via computer-aided dispatch system) to another Dispatcher who is relaying the information to patrol officers over the radio. The information they gather from you is crucial for patrol officers to effectively perform their duties. The better the information the Dispatchers can provide officers, the better equipped the officers will be to apprehend suspects, solve crimes and provide other public-safety services.
Questions to be prepared to answer:
1. What happened?
2. When did it occur?
3. What is the location of the incident?
4. Is anyone injured?
5. Can you provide a description of the suspect? Example: gender, race, height, color of clothing from head to toe
6. Were any weapons involved? If so, what type?
7. Was there a vehicle involved? If so, what is its description? Example: ‘80’s Toyota Corolla 4-door white
8. What was the suspect’s direction of flight?
9. What is the loss?
10. What is your name, address and telephone number?
11. Do you want police contact?Important Note: If calling from your cell phone in the event of an emergency, the number to call is 777-3211, not 911, as 911 will connect you to the California Highway Patrol. Be sure to program 777-3211 into your cell phone.
