The District Two Oakland City Councilmember and Council President Nikky Fortunado Bas held this virtual meeting last week. She explains it below, from her newsletter:
BUDGET TOWN HALL: As part of the process to begin developing Oakland’s next 2021-23 balanced budget, my office hosted a virtual town hall which you can view here. We reviewed budget basics, including how our budget is funded and how the source of funds determines how money can be spent. We explored deeper aspects of the budget with guest speaker Kristen Schumacher from IFPTE Local 21, including the importance of understanding the city’s consistent projected deficits versus actual surpluses, police overtime overspending using city revenue surpluses, and the growing vacancy issues in city departments since the last recession. Thank you, Kristen! We shared preliminary findings from my office’s budget survey and highlights from the city’s official budget survey. We answered community members’ questions on a range of topics including parks, public safety, and addressing homeless encampments in D2.If you haven’t already, please complete our budget survey here; we’ve extended the deadline until mid-April. Next week, look out on social media for the release of our survey in Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish, and our budget priorities memo..
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
