CityCouncil | 2021-01-05 | 22 | State action is needed on Police accountability. Councilmember Spencer stated there are transportation issues; noted mask enforcement for BART is low; expressed support for more data being provided from County Public Health related to COVID-19 case numbers and connecting regional shut downs based on case numbers, and more information related to allowing outdoor dining for businesses and opening outdoor areas; stated many people are sharing indoor spaces due to enough outdoor space not being provided for use; expressed concern about reports of increased crime and addressing changes due to the unsheltered population. Assemblymember Bonta expressed gratitude for the comments provided; stated there are opportunities to work together and find partnership; some of the matters will require follow-up meetings; part of the State legislature goals are to help cities navigate available funding through grant processes or programs; information related to grant and loan programs can be shared with cities in order to support small businesses; funding has been made available for the State and Alameda would be eligible for some; the fight continues to get rid of the unfair and unjust system of money bail; there is fast movement and urgency for tenant protections; the overlay of both County and City support can provide stronger backbone for struggling tenants; there is progress and momentum for the Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge; noted traffic safety cameras have been discussed at the district level as an area of interest and contain tricky political issues; stated the COVID-19 vaccine is accommodated by facts, science and data and some counties can be more restrictive should they so desire; Alameda County has been consistently more restrictive than the State; it is tricky finding a balance between public health and economic drivers; smart and important reforms have begun to build community trust in police accountability; expressed gratitude for the opportunity to address Council.
