I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED. She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>Oakland’s City Council looks set to ban facial recognition software by city agencies after voting unanimously Tuesday night to approve the measure. A second vote in mid-September would finalize the ban, which would take effect immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This makes Oakland the third city in the nation to do so after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11746658/san-francisco-may-ban-police-city-use-of-facial-recognition-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and Somerville, Massachusetts. Berkeley is considering a ban as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland ban is similar to San Francisco’s, in part because activists like \u003ca href=\"https://secure-justice.org/team/brian-hofer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brian Hofer\u003c/a>, executive director of the nonprofit Secure Justice, helped craft both measures. He was in attendance at the City Council meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/b_haddy/status/1151344536804679681\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists in other cities have talked to Hofer about doing something similar and in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope we can build a national movement against dangerous face surveillance. We don’t need it,” Hofer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facial recognition software uses machine learning algorithms to track human faces in digital footage and match them to names. But if the databases those software systems pull from are inaccurate or distorted by historic policing patterns, people of color can become the victim of false positives. Researchers argue that commercially available products for law enforcement aren’t able to correct for these systemic human biases, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11742529/report-warns-a-i-algorithms-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time-in-criminal-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">especially in criminal justice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland City Council President \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/officials/rebecca-kaplan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rebecca Kaplan\u003c/a> cited such concerns in a report written for the council. “Face recognition technology runs the risk of making Oakland residents less safe as the misidentification of individuals could lead to the misuse of force, false incarceration, and minority-based persecution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11746658' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement agencies have argued against outright bans, arguing that artificial intelligence has the capacity to improve with time and oversight, but they appear to be losing the political battle with a growing number of cities. The San Francisco ban, for instance, singled out facial recognition in a broader ordinance that required city departments to establish use policies and obtain board approval for all other kinds of surveillance technology they want to purchase or are using at present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those testifying before the Oakland vote was \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/bio/matt-cagle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt Cagle\u003c/a>, an attorney with the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You cannot leave your face at home,” Cagle said. “We do not want a world in which police are making decisions based on inaccurate information, misidentifying people and potentially using force based on flawed and inaccurate technology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Matt Cagle, attorney with the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.']‘You cannot leave your face at home. We do not want a world in which police are making decisions based on inaccurate information, misidentifying people and potentially using force based on flawed and inaccurate technology.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big software companies marketing facial recognition software are split on its use. In April, Microsoft \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-ai/microsoft-turned-down-facial-recognition-sales-on-human-rights-concerns-idUSKCN1RS2FV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refused to sell its technology\u003c/a> to a California law enforcement agency over human rights concerns, and Microsoft President Brad Smith called for regulation to prevent “a commercial race to the bottom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon, however, continues to sell its Rekognition software to law enforcement agencies. In a \u003ca href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/the-facts-on-facial-recognition-with-artificial-intelligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a>, the company argued, “Technology like Amazon Rekognition should only be used to narrow the field of potential matches. The responses from Amazon Rekognition allow officials to quickly get a set of potential faces for further human analysis. Given the seriousness of public safety use cases, human judgment is necessary to augment facial recognition, and facial recognition software should not be used autonomously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the municipal bans, and a statewide moratorium on facial recognition for police body cams under consideration now in Sacramento, federal agencies like the FBI can and do use the software nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facial recognition has been the subject of two House Oversight and Reform Committee hearings, in which concern over the technology appeared to be bipartisan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those hearings have yet to lead to a change in federal law, but they did reveal the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/07/fbi-ice-find-state-drivers-license-photos-are-gold-mine-facial-recognition-searches/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI has amassed a database\u003c/a> of more than 640 million photographs for its facial recognition program, including driver’s license photos from 21 states, not including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor\u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/supervisor-peskin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Aaron Peskin\u003c/a> took that revelation as confirmation he made the right choice in voting for a ban. In an opinion piece published in \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/why-us-must-follow-our-lead-san-francisco-risk-becoming-surveillance-state-opinion-1449379\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek\u003c/a>, he wrote, “Even if 100 percent accurate, mass surveillance by facial recognition — the likes of which authoritarian governments like \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/14/technology/china-surveillance-artificial-intelligence-racial-profiling.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">China are already using\u003c/a> — exposes Americans to an Orwellian dystopia.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

In a \u003ca href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/the-facts-on-facial-recognition-with-artificial-intelligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a>, the company argued, “Technology like Amazon Rekognition should only be used to narrow the field of potential matches.

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to decriminalize the adult use and possession of entheogenic, or psychoactive, plants and fungi, such as ‘magic’ mushrooms. That makes the city the second in the U.S. to decriminalize psychedelic plants. Denver voters in May approved a similar measure for people 21 and older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s measure would make the “investigation and arrest of individuals involved with the adult use of entheogenic plants on the federal Schedule 1 list be amongst the lowest priority for the city of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11750909,forum_2010101871313\" label=\"How Oakland Got Here\"]The City Council vote came after a string of speakers testified that psychedelics, such as ayahuasca and peyote, helped them overcome depression, drug addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750909\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Similar testimony swayed the public safety committee last week\u003c/a>, which approved the measure to come before a full council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use of the plants “saved my life,” said one man who described himself as a former heroin addict. “I don’t know how to describe it other than miraculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s some evidence that one of the active components in psilocybin mushrooms can be used as a medical treatment in some patients, but this is also based off studies that have been small or very preliminary,” said Dr. Brian Anderson \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101871313/oakland-considers-decriminalizing-psychedelic-mushrooms\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on KQED’s Forum\u003c/a>. Anderson is a psychiatrist at San Francisco General Hospital who has done studies on the use of psychedelic plants in religious ceremonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said there have been some trials suggesting the effects on depression or PTSD can be large when used as a form of drug-assisted psychotherapy. Those trials, though, remain small and far from FDA approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" citation=\"Councilmember Noel Gallo\"]“Growing up in the Mexican community, this was our cure, that was our Walgreens. We didn’t have a Walgreens. We didn’t have a way to pay for any drugs. These are plants we have known for thousands of years in our community and that we continue to use.”[/pullquote]However, medical uses were not the only reasons cited for passing the measure. A number of advocates also argued the plants never should have been criminalized in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re here to fix a wrong that never should have occurred,” said Carlos Plazola at the original public safety hearing. Plazola is chair of Decriminalize Nature Oakland, which sponsored the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan agreed at the time. “Richard Nixon launched a war [on drugs] that we all know is stupid, racist, wasteful and expensive, and it is long past time for us to continue fighting Nixon’s war for him,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council vote makes the investigation and arrest of adults who grow, possess, use or distribute entheogenic plants one of the lowest priorities for police. No city funds could be used to enforce laws criminalizing the substances, and the Alameda County District Attorney would stop prosecuting people who have been apprehended for use or possession. The Oakland Police Department has said they’ve dealt with 19 cases of suspected psychedelic mushrooms over the last five years, and are not certain about cases of other plants listed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance also directs the city administrator to come back within a year to provide the council with an assessment of the law’s community impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Teresa Drenick declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Noel Gallo, who introduced the resolution, said decriminalizing such plants would enable Oakland police to focus on serious crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics, though, were concerned about unsafe use, especially in schools and by vulnerable populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amendments offered by Councilmember Loren Taylor added caveats that the substances “are not for everyone,” recommending that people with PTSD or major depression seek professional help before using them and that people “don’t go solo” but seek expert guidance and have a trusted friend present during the use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"futureofyou_441705\"]To address such concerns, Gallo said earlier, lawmakers would have to establish rules and regulations about the use of such substances, including what exactly can be used, how to use them and what associated risks are. Plazola, whose group sponsored the measure, also presented an educational proposal and said his organization would be working on community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magic mushrooms would remain illegal under both federal and state laws. Entheogenic substances are considered Schedule 1 drugs under the federal Controlled Substances Act, which categorizes drugs that have potential for abuse and no medical value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entheogenic plants have long been used in religious and cultural contexts. Gallo remembers his grandmother treating his family members with plants, including entheogenic ones, for a variety of ailments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up in the Mexican community, this was our cure,” he said. Hemp oils, mushrooms and yerba buenas — an aromatic plant known for its medicinal properties — “that was our Walgreens. We didn’t have a Walgreens. We didn’t have a way to pay for any drugs. These are plants we have known for thousands of years in our community and that we continue to use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kelly O’Mara contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Psychedelic mushrooms’ effects on depression, for instance, can be large, when used as a form of drug-assisted psychotherapy. But this has been tested only on a few hundred patients in the last few years in the U.S. and maybe a couple of thousand in clinical trials in the last 20 years, he said. “It’s a little early to think we’ll be able to get FDA permission at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that’s far from what is being proposed in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about decriminalization.

For example, he said, they would advise anyone with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder to consult with a doctor before taking entheogenic plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plazola, however, also argued that the criminalization of these plants has contributed to mass incarceration based on “irrational fears.” At the same time, he said, the mental health crisis has also hit those communities who do not have access to these resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"arts_13858117\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question that people should be asking themselves is, ‘What did the world look like before [these plants] were criminalized?'” he said.

Those doing the asking were many of the same folks who had backed Guillen four years ago, but who told Fortunato Bas they were disappointed with his time in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillen started his term by walking into \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/03/16/oakland-city-council-advances-controversial-public-land-sale-behind-closed-doors\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a controversy\u003c/a> not of his making. He arrived at City Hall just as the council was finalizing a deal to sell city-owned land to a for-profit developer.

She pointed to a \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/City_of_Oakland_Minimum_Wage_Increase_Initiative,_Measure_FF_(November_2014)\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">raise in the minimum wage\u003c/a>, an effort to create a more \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/03/22/oakland-citizen-police-commission-to-have-independent-staff/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">independent citizen-led police commission\u003c/a>, along with housing and homeless measures. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none of those were approved by the City Council.

East Oakland was once perceived as too far, too dangerous, too remote to be desirable to newcomers, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is young and fresh-faced, with wire-rimmed glasses and a wide smile. He grew up in Oakland in a middle-class black family. He said he feels a responsibility to uplift, not uproot, the neighborhood he now represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a responsibility to the legacy that my grandparents created when they moved here from the segregated South in the 1940s,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11703960/libby-schaaf-holds-big-lead-in-race-for-second-term-as-oakland-mayor\">Libby Schaaf Wins Second Term as Oakland Mayor\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11703960/libby-schaaf-holds-big-lead-in-race-for-second-term-as-oakland-mayor\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33682_110618_AW_Election_11-qut-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Taylor is a biomedical engineer turned managerial consultant and a new face to Oakland’s political scene. To get to City Hall, he had to defeat a prominent figure in Oakland politics, Desley Brooks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks, a longtime councilwoman, was a favorite of progressives, who felt she was their champion on the council. But a scuffle between Brooks and former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-to-pay-2-2-million-to-settle-ex-Black-13067564.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cost the city $2.2 million\u003c/a> in a lawsuit, leading to bad press. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several groups spent a lot of money to defeat Brooks, but some speculate that what really cost her the seat was that she was rarely visible leading up to the election, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/otisrtaylorjr/article/Where-is-Desley-Brooks-An-Oakland-13324758.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">even missing council meetings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Taylor, who was also supported by Mayor Libby Schaaf, did the once unthinkable and pulled off an upset. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said one of his major priorities will be strengthening local businesses. District 6 has long suffered from the kind of economic disinvestment common to traditionally black areas in cities like Oakland. Now that money is flooding into Oakland, his constituents should get a piece of it, Taylor said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to create a strong, solid economic foundation so that District 6 and East Oakland in general becomes a thriving economic hub,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of that involves incubating local black and brown businesses, he said, something Taylor said he is already working on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new members of the City Council will be sworn in on Jan. 7, and their first official meeting is scheduled for the same day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Councilman Larry Reid, who was the sole council member to vote against the ordinance, concurred, saying “one of them almost hit me on the sidewalk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Monday, Sept. 17:\u003c/strong> Oakland is about to join the growing number of cities around the country imposing regulations on electric stand-up rental scooters — the two-wheel transportation craze some hail as a delightful solution to traffic congestion and others condemn as an out-of-control urban nuisance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council is expected to vote Monday evening to approve an ordinance that will start the process of creating formal rules for operators who have distributed hundreds of scooters — or perhaps thousands — on the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4895591/Oakland-ScooterOrdinance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation\u003c/a>, which passed its first reading in July, is sponsored by council members Rebecca Kaplan and Noel Gallo and also covers dockless rental bicycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It promotes rules similar in many respects to regulations \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-documents/2018/08/scooter_policy_directive_08.28.2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still under development\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooter firms operating in Oakland would be responsible for ensuring their customers ride the vehicles legally and park them properly, for instance, and they could be penalized with reductions in their fleet size or loss of their permit for failing to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ordinance also includes some requirements for the companies — Bird, Lime and Skip are currently operating there — that go well beyond what San Francisco has required so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the law would require scooter operators to distribute their machines throughout the city, with half of all their machines being placed in neighborhoods that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission defines as “communities of concern” based on percentage of low-income and minority residents and households without vehicles, among other factors. In Oakland, that’s virtually the entire city below Interstate 580.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a significant portion of Oakland that has really been underserved historically,” Kaplan said in an interview. “We want to make sure that as new options like the shared scooters come about, that everybody has a chance to benefit from that new option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance would also create low-income memberships for low-income riders with a rate “equivalent to” $5 for 12 months of unlimited 30-minute rides. That would be virtually identical to the low-income membership offered by the Ford GoBike shared-bicycle system. The law would also require companies to provide access to those who don’t have smartphones or credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three of the companies currently operating in Oakland offer low-income discounts from the usual fees — $1 to unlock a scooter and 15 cents a minute to ride. Lime and Skip both offer a 50 percent discount to low-income riders; Bird waives the initial $1 fee for low-income patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to those provisions, Kaplan is suggesting \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4895590/Suggested-Interim-Scooter-Regulations-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a series of other conditions\u003c/a> be attached to the city’s scooter permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’d like to see scooter speeds limited to 12 mph to 15 mph. She also wants the scooter firms to be required to take steps to avoid “charging wars” — the situation where people being paid to charge the machines get in battles over securing vehicles at the end of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike San Francisco — where the city forced scooters off the streets while developing a one-year pilot project, then awarded permits to two firms that officials said filed the best applications — Oakland will not impose a limit on the number of scooter firms in the city and will allow them to continue to operate while its regulations are finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Processes like the one in San Francisco “have seemed to yield a lot of antagonism,” Kaplan said. “Each company accuses the city of bias if they don’t get to be the chosen one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the new ordinance will create “a fairly serious set of rules … If the companies can follow them, they can operate, and that way the city personnel don’t have to pick winners and losers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bay City News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Councilman Larry Reid, who was the sole council member to vote against the ordinance, concurred, saying “one of them almost hit me on the sidewalk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Monday, Sept. 17:\u003c/strong> Oakland is about to join the growing number of cities around the country imposing regulations on electric stand-up rental scooters — the two-wheel transportation craze some hail as a delightful solution to traffic congestion and others condemn as an out-of-control urban nuisance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council is expected to vote Monday evening to approve an ordinance that will start the process of creating formal rules for operators who have distributed hundreds of scooters — or perhaps thousands — on the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4895591/Oakland-ScooterOrdinance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation\u003c/a>, which passed its first reading in July, is sponsored by council members Rebecca Kaplan and Noel Gallo and also covers dockless rental bicycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It promotes rules similar in many respects to regulations \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-documents/2018/08/scooter_policy_directive_08.28.2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still under development\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooter firms operating in Oakland would be responsible for ensuring their customers ride the vehicles legally and park them properly, for instance, and they could be penalized with reductions in their fleet size or loss of their permit for failing to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ordinance also includes some requirements for the companies — Bird, Lime and Skip are currently operating there — that go well beyond what San Francisco has required so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the law would require scooter operators to distribute their machines throughout the city, with half of all their machines being placed in neighborhoods that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission defines as “communities of concern” based on percentage of low-income and minority residents and households without vehicles, among other factors. In Oakland, that’s virtually the entire city below Interstate 580.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a significant portion of Oakland that has really been underserved historically,” Kaplan said in an interview. “We want to make sure that as new options like the shared scooters come about, that everybody has a chance to benefit from that new option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance would also create low-income memberships for low-income riders with a rate “equivalent to” $5 for 12 months of unlimited 30-minute rides. That would be virtually identical to the low-income membership offered by the Ford GoBike shared-bicycle system. The law would also require companies to provide access to those who don’t have smartphones or credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three of the companies currently operating in Oakland offer low-income discounts from the usual fees — $1 to unlock a scooter and 15 cents a minute to ride. Lime and Skip both offer a 50 percent discount to low-income riders; Bird waives the initial $1 fee for low-income patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to those provisions, Kaplan is suggesting \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4895590/Suggested-Interim-Scooter-Regulations-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a series of other conditions\u003c/a> be attached to the city’s scooter permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’d like to see scooter speeds limited to 12 mph to 15 mph. She also wants the scooter firms to be required to take steps to avoid “charging wars” — the situation where people being paid to charge the machines get in battles over securing vehicles at the end of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike San Francisco — where the city forced scooters off the streets while developing a one-year pilot project, then awarded permits to two firms that officials said filed the best applications — Oakland will not impose a limit on the number of scooter firms in the city and will allow them to continue to operate while its regulations are finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Processes like the one in San Francisco “have seemed to yield a lot of antagonism,” Kaplan said. “Each company accuses the city of bias if they don’t get to be the chosen one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the new ordinance will create “a fairly serious set of rules … If the companies can follow them, they can operate, and that way the city personnel don’t have to pick winners and losers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bay City News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
