CityCouncil | 2014-04-15 | 19 | The Assistant City Manager responded the firm currently has 12 clients. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what type of reporting can be expected. The Assistant City Manager responded a monthly report would be provided; the firm builds plans geared toward obtaining funds instead of just informing the City about available funds. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the funds proposed for the Akerman contract are structured differently than Senator Perata's contract. The Assistant City Manager responded in the negative; stated the funds are structured the same; there will be more lobbying in Sacramento at the State level instead of at the federal level. Councilmember Tam inquired what type of funding Akerman secured for the Port of Oakland. The Assistant City Manager responded in 2009, Akerman secured $30 million to improve barge traffic and reduce air pollution at the Port; since 2003, Akerman secured $175 million for dredging projects working with US Army Corp of Engineers. Councilmember Chen inquired how much the Port of Oakland paid Akerman per year, to which the Assistant City Manager responded that he did not ask the Port for that information.
