Oakland News Now Presents:Oakland Coliseum JPA MeetIng For Sept 15th 2023 On Potential Future Of Site Talk And AASEG ENA
.Oakland Coliseum JPA MeetIng For Sept 15th 2023 On Potential Future Of Site Talk And AASEG ENA Agenda: The Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority is scheduled to hold it’s first meeting of the new fiscal year 2023 today at 8:30 AM. The Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority meeting agenda is basic: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority OAKLAND-ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM AUTHORITY AMENDED 1. CALL TO ORDER 2. ROLL CALL 3. OPEN FORUM 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 5. REPORTS 5a. Executive Director Report 1. Fiscal Year 2022-2023 – Internal Budget Adjustment for Coliseum Operations 5b. General Manager Report 6. NEW BUSINESS RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT WITH RINGCENTRAL, INC. 7. DISCUSSION Potential Future Public Uses and Functions for the Coliseum Site But it’s the last item, the “Potential Future Public Uses and Functions for the Coliseum Site” that’s to be questioned. The reason is simple: it looks, to this vlogger, like the rug is being pulled out from under the African American Sports and Entertainment Group, AKA AASEG. Why? Because the talk comes smack in the middle of the ENA or exclusive negotiating agreement regarding the Coliseum. The idea that a discussion is being scheduled implies that AASEG has not presented a tangible vision for the future of the Oakland Coliseum. I am sure that Oakland Coliseum Executive Director Henry Gardner did not intend to insult Ray Bobbitt, Alan Dones, and the rest of AASEG , but the truth about what’s happening has been pushed into our collective face by the agenda item. Note, it does not call for an update on the AASEG ENA, it calls for a discussion of possible futures for the site, which could include selling it. That’s a bad idea. The Oakland Coliseum has become the sad victim of Oakland;s over-politicization of everything. The Mayor of Oakland and the Oakland City Council have proven they do not think about the question of how to improve the decrepit stadium and arena at all. Everything has to be something like The Manhattan Project: hard to do, expensive, and because of that, never sees the light of day except in extreme cases, which Oakland has not seen. Meanwhile, little upgrades to the access areas and outside where some kind of restaurant is needed (why not make a deal with a restaurant chain and put out an RFP with some money behind it), upgrades to the kitchen, and flood control measures, as well as all of the items on that 24 year old punch-list are just crying to be done. Do we have working light-standards. And what about helping the A’s get people into the building if only so the JPA can make some sales tax revenue for the City and the County? The overall problem is that we, the JPA collectively, can’t seem to discipline its collective mind to come up with solutions to the immediate basic problems it faces. Let the AASEG do the big picture work. That’s part of its job. If the AASEG can’t do that then the Coliseum should just give it’s ENA to me, and I’ll get the ball rolling. The AASEG has allowed Oakland’s toxic politics to push it out of the way of its own project. Heck, the Oakland Roots have more juice than the AASEG and are slowly weaseling its way into a kind of outside raid on the Coliseum. Sorry no other way to put it. And I am repeating this to make the Coliseum JPA respect the AASEG. Anyone who knows the situation is aware that the land the Oakland Roots want to use is a prime flood problem waiting to happen. On bad rain days it’s going to remind everyone of what’s happening, or happened, to Libya. When are we going to learn? It’s like we have a cast of characters that just likes to get its head hurt by slamming it against the wall because it thinks that’s how one stops a headache. The discussion should be about the AASEG out of respect for the ENA it has with the Coliseum JPA and its broad scope, and nothing else. Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : 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 YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our 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 – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. 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.
