But one of the cargo terminal's developers promises that won't be a problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have eliminated that problem because we will cover the rail cars,” says Jerry Bridges, president of \u003ca href=\"http://obotjv.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Terminal Logistics Solutions\u003c/a>, the company awarded a contract to build and run the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandglobal.com/index.php/project/about/wgw-development\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal\u003c/a> (OBOT). Bridges says the facility will be able to handle 9 million tons of bulk cargo a year and expects 4.2 million tons of it to be coal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As they are loaded at the origin, at the coal mine, and as they transit from the mine to the port, there will be no dust coming off of the trains,” Bridges says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The terminal, he says, will also be clean. To demonstrate, he holds up a picture that depicts the typical way terminals handle coal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just open piles of product laying on the ground, with water being sprayed on it to keep the dust down,” Bridges says. \"That's the way it's handled everywhere else in the rest of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges holds up another picture depicting white domes on a pristine dock, saying, “This is what our terminal would look like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bridges, the bulk terminal will use new technology to keep dusty material like coal enclosed all the way from the mines to the ships that will carry the cargo overseas. Coal cars will dump their load into an underground conveyor system, he says, which will whisk it into vessels' cargo holds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bridges' assurances of a clean, safe coal facility have fallen flat with Mayor Libby Schaaf and the City Council, which voted last year to \u003ca href=\"https://oakland.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1747455&GUID=D41B7760-10B0-455E-B1F5-88894FBAD097&Options=&Search=\" target=\"_blank\">oppose shipping coal\u003c/a> through the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not going to let ourselves be fooled or falsely placated into thinking something is not what it is.” says \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityCouncil/o/District1/\">Councilman Dan Kalb\u003c/a>, whose district lies north of the terminal site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland officials awarded \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiagroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Capital and Investment Group\u003c/a> (CCIG) to develop its share of the old Oakland Army Base. CCIG President Phil Tagami has been a major force in Oakland development, and a well-connected one. Tagami's firm has led two landmark redevelopment efforts financed largely, as the new port facility is, with public funds -- the Rotunda Building and the Fox Oakland theater. The developer was a close ally of Jerry Brown during his tenure as mayor, with Brown appointing him to serve on the Port of Oakland board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb notes that Tagami promised no coal would move through the new port when the question arose early in the development process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would never let coal go through his property -- this is what he said to my face here in City Hall and to others, too,” says Kalb. \"We’re just trying to hold him to his word. That’s all. It’s not any shocker what the city is doing. What’s shocking is what the private developer’s doing, and their partners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tagami declined to be interviewed for this story. So did Oakland's Mayor Schaaf. The two are reportedly negotiating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But emails obtained through a public records request show the two butting heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one, \u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Schaaf orders\u003c/a> Tagami to honor the city's ban on coal. Tagami \u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/4lxhbjb0sg4izov0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">replies\u003c/a> that he has the right to export any legal commodity, including coal, and has all the permits to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jess Dervin-Ackerman of the Sierra Club's San Francisco Bay chapter, which opposes coal exports because of local impacts and because they may promote climate change, says that’s just not true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coal was never considered as a commodity that was going through during any of the environmental review, which is supposed to consider all the impacts not only on an environment but the people that live near the project,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dervin-Ackerman says the city has leverage it can use to delay the terminal project if necessary. Officials could reopen the environmental review or reopen the development agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either action would create uncertainty, which can spook investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Bridges, head of Terminal Logistics Solutions, says he hasn't signed any contracts with coal shippers yet and is still raising the $260 million to build the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve thought about what if the project gets killed in Oakland?” says Bridges. “Then it gets killed, and we go away. But coal is a product that's going to ship, and it can ship from Oakland or it can ship from somewhere else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges says Oakland could lose out on as many as 100 on-site jobs -- half of which go to locals -- and another 2,600 jobs in related services for the terminal, and all the other economic benefits of running a world-class export terminal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's City Council has set a hearing for Sept. 21 to look at the public health and safety concerns associated with coal dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The accurate information is going to come out,\" says Kalb. \"Then, based on the record, the city will have an opportunity to enact regulations that all parties will have to follow.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

But one of the cargo terminal's developers promises that won't be a problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have eliminated that problem because we will cover the rail cars,” says Jerry Bridges, president of \u003ca href=\"http://obotjv.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Terminal Logistics Solutions\u003c/a>, the company awarded a contract to build and run the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandglobal.com/index.php/project/about/wgw-development\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal\u003c/a> (OBOT). Bridges says the facility will be able to handle 9 million tons of bulk cargo a year and expects 4.2 million tons of it to be coal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As they are loaded at the origin, at the coal mine, and as they transit from the mine to the port, there will be no dust coming off of the trains,” Bridges says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The terminal, he says, will also be clean. To demonstrate, he holds up a picture that depicts the typical way terminals handle coal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just open piles of product laying on the ground, with water being sprayed on it to keep the dust down,” Bridges says. \"That's the way it's handled everywhere else in the rest of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges holds up another picture depicting white domes on a pristine dock, saying, “This is what our terminal would look like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bridges, the bulk terminal will use new technology to keep dusty material like coal enclosed all the way from the mines to the ships that will carry the cargo overseas. Coal cars will dump their load into an underground conveyor system, he says, which will whisk it into vessels' cargo holds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bridges' assurances of a clean, safe coal facility have fallen flat with Mayor Libby Schaaf and the City Council, which voted last year to \u003ca href=\"https://oakland.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1747455&GUID=D41B7760-10B0-455E-B1F5-88894FBAD097&Options=&Search=\" target=\"_blank\">oppose shipping coal\u003c/a> through the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not going to let ourselves be fooled or falsely placated into thinking something is not what it is.” says \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityCouncil/o/District1/\">Councilman Dan Kalb\u003c/a>, whose district lies north of the terminal site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland officials awarded \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiagroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Capital and Investment Group\u003c/a> (CCIG) to develop its share of the old Oakland Army Base. CCIG President Phil Tagami has been a major force in Oakland development, and a well-connected one. Tagami's firm has led two landmark redevelopment efforts financed largely, as the new port facility is, with public funds -- the Rotunda Building and the Fox Oakland theater. The developer was a close ally of Jerry Brown during his tenure as mayor, with Brown appointing him to serve on the Port of Oakland board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb notes that Tagami promised no coal would move through the new port when the question arose early in the development process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would never let coal go through his property -- this is what he said to my face here in City Hall and to others, too,” says Kalb. \"We’re just trying to hold him to his word. That’s all. It’s not any shocker what the city is doing. What’s shocking is what the private developer’s doing, and their partners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tagami declined to be interviewed for this story. So did Oakland's Mayor Schaaf. The two are reportedly negotiating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But emails obtained through a public records request show the two butting heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one, \u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Schaaf orders\u003c/a> Tagami to honor the city's ban on coal. Tagami \u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/4lxhbjb0sg4izov0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">replies\u003c/a> that he has the right to export any legal commodity, including coal, and has all the permits to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jess Dervin-Ackerman of the Sierra Club's San Francisco Bay chapter, which opposes coal exports because of local impacts and because they may promote climate change, says that’s just not true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coal was never considered as a commodity that was going through during any of the environmental review, which is supposed to consider all the impacts not only on an environment but the people that live near the project,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dervin-Ackerman says the city has leverage it can use to delay the terminal project if necessary. Officials could reopen the environmental review or reopen the development agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either action would create uncertainty, which can spook investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Bridges, head of Terminal Logistics Solutions, says he hasn't signed any contracts with coal shippers yet and is still raising the $260 million to build the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve thought about what if the project gets killed in Oakland?” says Bridges. “Then it gets killed, and we go away. But coal is a product that's going to ship, and it can ship from Oakland or it can ship from somewhere else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges says Oakland could lose out on as many as 100 on-site jobs -- half of which go to locals -- and another 2,600 jobs in related services for the terminal, and all the other economic benefits of running a world-class export terminal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's City Council has set a hearing for Sept. 21 to look at the public health and safety concerns associated with coal dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/ceda/documents/policy/oak052794.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordinance\u003c/a> stresses public art is “important for the vitality of the artist community as well as the quality of life for all Oakland residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sentiment flies in direct contrast to the suit filed last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BIA Bay Area is represented by Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a conservative public interest law firm. The firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificlegal.org/releases/release-7-23-15-biaba-v-oakland-4-1538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says\u003c/a> the city is “forcing builders of homes and commercial projects to fund art works that have no reasonable connection to any public needs created by their building projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percent-for-art ordinances already exist in most Bay Area cities, including San Francisco, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, Emeryville, El Cerrito and Santa Rosa. Oakland, with its large and ever-growing artist community, follows a well-established trend of integrating public art into private developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen Zaremba, senior public art project manager for the city says, “Support for the arts and the arts community is fierce and committed, from the mayor on down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why sue Oakland, and why now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claiming the percent for art ordinance levies needless fees on developers, BIA positions itself as pro-housing in the midst of the Bay Area’s housing crisis. Since the ordinance is new and hasn’t yet accumulated any funds, perhaps the BIA seeks to cut off such expenditures before they become commonplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10865584\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10865584\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/294244155_big.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Spertus, 'Space blinds,' installation at Interface Gallery.

If a developer can’t make money and include that, he’s not a good developer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local artists and members of the community voice their anger towards BIA on social media and rally email-writing campaigns, the conversation also turns towards the possibilities of even more support for the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spertus has hopes for the city’s future arts spending, barring any setbacks from the lawsuit. “I hope the percent for art can translate into more artists grants. I think to be the caliber of city it should be, Oakland should be funneling even more funds to local artists, not just those who are doing public art,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/ceda/documents/policy/oak052794.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordinance\u003c/a> stresses public art is “important for the vitality of the artist community as well as the quality of life for all Oakland residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sentiment flies in direct contrast to the suit filed last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BIA Bay Area is represented by Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a conservative public interest law firm. The firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificlegal.org/releases/release-7-23-15-biaba-v-oakland-4-1538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says\u003c/a> the city is “forcing builders of homes and commercial projects to fund art works that have no reasonable connection to any public needs created by their building projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percent-for-art ordinances already exist in most Bay Area cities, including San Francisco, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, Emeryville, El Cerrito and Santa Rosa. Oakland, with its large and ever-growing artist community, follows a well-established trend of integrating public art into private developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen Zaremba, senior public art project manager for the city says, “Support for the arts and the arts community is fierce and committed, from the mayor on down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why sue Oakland, and why now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claiming the percent for art ordinance levies needless fees on developers, BIA positions itself as pro-housing in the midst of the Bay Area’s housing crisis. Since the ordinance is new and hasn’t yet accumulated any funds, perhaps the BIA seeks to cut off such expenditures before they become commonplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10865584\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10865584\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/07/294244155_big.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Spertus, 'Space blinds,' installation at Interface Gallery.

(Photo: Emma Spertus, Interface Gallery)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Colosky believes the economic argument is groundless. “As someone who has vetted projects for the city of Oakland, I know how little of the budget includes public art,” Colosky says. “It’s miniscule. If a developer can’t make money and include that, he’s not a good developer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local artists and members of the community voice their anger towards BIA on social media and rally email-writing campaigns, the conversation also turns towards the possibilities of even more support for the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spertus has hopes for the city’s future arts spending, barring any setbacks from the lawsuit. “I hope the percent for art can translate into more artists grants. I think to be the caliber of city it should be, Oakland should be funneling even more funds to local artists, not just those who are doing public art,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On her court date, Wright saw a lot of kids her own age. Just about everyone in the Oakland courtroom was a kid -- the jurors, her defense attorney, the prosecutor, even the bailiffs and clerks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only adult at the proceeding was the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent evening, kids waited nervously in the hallway for their trials to begin. The court serves about 120 offenders each year, usually referred by police or school officials. To participate, offenders have to first confess to their crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The docket was full that night – cases ranging from vandalism and minor drug possession to theft -- as in the case of one shy young lady named Preva, who stole some makeup before a piano recital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Preva wanted this night to be perfect, every little thing, so she went to a store and stole some makeup,\" Gabrielle Battle, a petite 13-year-old serving as Preva's attorney, tells the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She was blinded by the idea of perfection and looking perfect for her big night. ...

And she says they get it -- recidivism is very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Centerforce is one of more than 1,000 youth courts nationwide and roughly 120 in California that follow a restorative justice model, where offenders are sentenced by their peers. It’s a growing effort by cities and counties to reduce their juvenile caseloads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you come here, you actually get to, like, go to workshops, do community service, do things that can actually give back to the community,\" says Akili Moree, another feisty 13-year-old who joined the program voluntarily last year and works the courtroom like a mini Perry Mason. \"And you can learn from your mistakes, instead of just receiving a punishment that you’ll really get nothing out of.\"\u003ci>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Michaela Wright, things ended much better than she expected. The jury gave her 12 hours of community service, three workshops and two jury duties. She plans to start college this fall, with a clean record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright says she appreciates that the process wasn’t just focused on punishment, and wishes she could say the same for her parents, who were none too pleased about her arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if she got in trouble at home after her arrest, she simply replied:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, yeah … oh, yeah.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

On her court date, Wright saw a lot of kids her own age. Just about everyone in the Oakland courtroom was a kid -- the jurors, her defense attorney, the prosecutor, even the bailiffs and clerks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only adult at the proceeding was the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent evening, kids waited nervously in the hallway for their trials to begin. The court serves about 120 offenders each year, usually referred by police or school officials. To participate, offenders have to first confess to their crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The docket was full that night – cases ranging from vandalism and minor drug possession to theft -- as in the case of one shy young lady named Preva, who stole some makeup before a piano recital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Preva wanted this night to be perfect, every little thing, so she went to a store and stole some makeup,\" Gabrielle Battle, a petite 13-year-old serving as Preva's attorney, tells the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She was blinded by the idea of perfection and looking perfect for her big night. ...

And for his part, Tagami had met earlier expressions of concern with what sounded like definitive assurances that coal shipments would not go through the terminal he's in charge of building. About two-thirds of the overall project's \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandglobal.com/assets/funding%20chart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">half-billion-dollar pricetag\u003c/a> will come from local, state and federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has come to my attention that there are community concerns about a purported plan to develop a coal plant or coal distribution facility as part of the Oakland Global project,\" Tagami said in the project's December 2013 newsletter. \"This is simply untrue. The individuals spreading this notion are misinformed. CCIG is publicly on record as having no interest or involvement in the pursuit of coal-related operations at the former Oakland Army Base.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CCIG stands for California Capital and Investment Group, the commercial real estate firm Tagami heads and which in 2012 won the right to develop the city's portion of the old Oakland Army Base. By early this year, CCIG's stance on \"coal-related operations\" at the new facility had changed from \"no interest\" to very interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'You have been awarded the privilege and opportunity of a lifetime to develop this unique piece of land.

The counties want to help pay for the terminal as a way of guaranteeing their ability to ship the \"energy commodities\" they produce -- coal -- to overseas markets. In April, a state community investment board approved a $53 million loan to the counties, which they plan to use to become partners in the Oakland bulk terminal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board's meeting featured a brief appearance by Mark McClure, a principal in Tagami's CCIG. McClure actually spoke after the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board had voted to approve the $53 million loan and pointed out virtues of the new port relative to rival facilities elsewhere on the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the key components that people forget is that you can have the product, and you can have an outlet on a port, but we're very dependent on the rail lines to move the product from one place to another,\" McClure told the board. He added that the two railroads serving the port, Union Pacific and Burlington Northern, both have direct routes west to the Bay Area from Utah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213446330&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Details of the Utah counties' investment in the port -- they are supposed to get an equity stake in the port in return for their cash -- still remained to be worked out after the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the deal gradually made its way into the media -- first in Utah and by late April \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/breaking-news/ci_27981684/unlikely-partners-utah-investing-53-million-export-coal\" target=\"_blank\">in the Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tagami, who had earlier dismissed concerns about development of a coal-shipping facility at the new port facility, now suggested that the matter was out of his hands. That's because his company, CCIG, had transferred its rights to develop and operate the planned Oakland bulk cargo facility to another party, Terminal Logistics Solutions. The firm was created last year and is headed by Jerry Bridges, a former executive director of the Port of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>n May 11, Schaaf attended a breakfast of the city's business and community leaders.

And for his part, Tagami had met earlier expressions of concern with what sounded like definitive assurances that coal shipments would not go through the terminal he's in charge of building. About two-thirds of the overall project's \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandglobal.com/assets/funding%20chart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">half-billion-dollar pricetag\u003c/a> will come from local, state and federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has come to my attention that there are community concerns about a purported plan to develop a coal plant or coal distribution facility as part of the Oakland Global project,\" Tagami said in the project's December 2013 newsletter. \"This is simply untrue. The individuals spreading this notion are misinformed. CCIG is publicly on record as having no interest or involvement in the pursuit of coal-related operations at the former Oakland Army Base.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The counties want to help pay for the terminal as a way of guaranteeing their ability to ship the \"energy commodities\" they produce -- coal -- to overseas markets. In April, a state community investment board approved a $53 million loan to the counties, which they plan to use to become partners in the Oakland bulk terminal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board's meeting featured a brief appearance by Mark McClure, a principal in Tagami's CCIG. McClure actually spoke after the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board had voted to approve the $53 million loan and pointed out virtues of the new port relative to rival facilities elsewhere on the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the key components that people forget is that you can have the product, and you can have an outlet on a port, but we're very dependent on the rail lines to move the product from one place to another,\" McClure told the board.

"content": "\u003cp>City Council meetings might not seem like a hot ticket. But for almost two months in Oakland, citizens have been lining up to get a limited number of seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city, citing public safety concerns, had closed the council's chamber galleries, which can seat 98 people, and also limited the number of people who can sit on the main floor, letting only 114 people into a room with 130 seats. Meanwhile, people who wanted to speak on controversial issues, such as an\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/18/oakland-city-council-oks-deal-for-lake-merritt-apartment-tower\"> East 12th Street development\u003c/a> project, waited in the halls outside or were shuffled into overflow rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, however, a judge granted a temporary restraining order, telling the council to open its doors. The order remains in effect for three weeks. Michael Seville, director of research communications at the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 21, said the IFPTE filed a complaint because the city had violated Oakland's sunshine law and the state's Brown Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe in transparency,\" he said. \"And 100 seats at an Oakland council meeting is not enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seville said the city's decision to limit the meeting was unprecedented. \"Even during the Occupy movement, never did the city do this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Scheer of the First Amendment Coalition said the city may well be playing fast and loose with local transparency laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the Brown Act's clear admonitions that all persons, quote unquote, shall be given access to the meeting, any city council which closes its doors when there are still many empty seats available -- and does that as a matter of policy -- has an obligation to explain itself,\" he said. \"And to have a fact-based plausible explanation and reason.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official word from the city has been public safety concerns. The City Council is responsible for overseeing its meetings, but the city administrator is responsible for building policy. The current city administrator, John Flores, is a temporary hire who might have been on vacation when the decision was made to limit the number of people allowed into council meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city administrator's office has not returned KQED's request for comment or explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Councilwoman Desley Brooks said the reason is clear to her. \"If you look at the timeline\" she said, \"to me the balconies were closed when the people came out on East 12th Street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was referring to a heated meeting in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/05/06/activists-take-over-oakland-city-council-meeting-prevent-vote-on-condo-project\">early May \u003c/a>in which activists took over the meeting and declared it the people's council. \"I know that there is a different story that they will put out -- but that is the backstory,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that May 5 meeting, an increased police presence and empty balconies became a hallmark of Oakland City Council meetings. Brooks said it had a real effect on preventing citizens from speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were 100 or something people signed up to speak, and less them half of them spoke,\" she said. \"That's not what we want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said people may have been angry, but that is all part of messy democracy. \"Sometimes people have a right to be angry, and they need to be angry,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activist Monica Garcia, who was at many of those meetings, agreed that there is a deep well of anger among activists. \"Basically what happened is folks were angry and upset -- about many, many things -- but it crystallized around this issue: the giveaway of public lands, budgets that aren't for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, a 12-year Eastlake resident, said shutting people out of the meetings created a chilling effect and only increased feelings of frustration and anger. She added that the public safety issue was a smoke screen, even on the night the council was shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no violence of any kind,\" she said. \"No one was threatened, the council was encouraged to stay -- people want to speak to you!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said even that with the contentious relationship between activists and government in the past few years, things are now reaching a boiling point. She mentioned not just the closure of the council meetings, but also Mayor Libby Schaaf's recent crackdown on after-dark protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's alarming how tone-deaf the mayor is -- she would choose to start trying to roll out these laws on a night of protest for black women,\" she said. She was referring to the #SayHerName march in Oakland, made up mostly of black women and children, in which police first started enforcing the mayor's new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It says a lot about who Oakland is for,\" Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that Schaaf's office is not responsible for the City Council's gallery closure. The mayor has no control over City Council meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight, Oakland City Council and its balconies will be open again. What happens three weeks from now, when the temporary restraining order ends, is still unclear. What is clear is what is at stake in the meeting this evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council will probably finalize its controversial budget, and it is likely that many will be on hand to share their views of the state of the city.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But for almost two months in Oakland, citizens have been lining up to get a limited number of seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city, citing public safety concerns, had closed the council's chamber galleries, which can seat 98 people, and also limited the number of people who can sit on the main floor, letting only 114 people into a room with 130 seats. Meanwhile, people who wanted to speak on controversial issues, such as an\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/18/oakland-city-council-oks-deal-for-lake-merritt-apartment-tower\"> East 12th Street development\u003c/a> project, waited in the halls outside or were shuffled into overflow rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, however, a judge granted a temporary restraining order, telling the council to open its doors. The order remains in effect for three weeks. Michael Seville, director of research communications at the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 21, said the IFPTE filed a complaint because the city had violated Oakland's sunshine law and the state's Brown Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe in transparency,\" he said. \"And 100 seats at an Oakland council meeting is not enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seville said the city's decision to limit the meeting was unprecedented. \"Even during the Occupy movement, never did the city do this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The City Council is responsible for overseeing its meetings, but the city administrator is responsible for building policy. The current city administrator, John Flores, is a temporary hire who might have been on vacation when the decision was made to limit the number of people allowed into council meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city administrator's office has not returned KQED's request for comment or explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Councilwoman Desley Brooks said the reason is clear to her. \"If you look at the timeline\" she said, \"to me the balconies were closed when the people came out on East 12th Street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was referring to a heated meeting in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/05/06/activists-take-over-oakland-city-council-meeting-prevent-vote-on-condo-project\">early May \u003c/a>in which activists took over the meeting and declared it the people's council. \"I know that there is a different story that they will put out -- but that is the backstory,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that May 5 meeting, an increased police presence and empty balconies became a hallmark of Oakland City Council meetings. Brooks said it had a real effect on preventing citizens from speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were 100 or something people signed up to speak, and less them half of them spoke,\" she said. \"That's not what we want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said people may have been angry, but that is all part of messy democracy. \"Sometimes people have a right to be angry, and they need to be angry,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activist Monica Garcia, who was at many of those meetings, agreed that there is a deep well of anger among activists. \"Basically what happened is folks were angry and upset -- about many, many things -- but it crystallized around this issue: the giveaway of public lands, budgets that aren't for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, a 12-year Eastlake resident, said shutting people out of the meetings created a chilling effect and only increased feelings of frustration and anger. She added that the public safety issue was a smoke screen, even on the night the council was shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no violence of any kind,\" she said. \"No one was threatened, the council was encouraged to stay -- people want to speak to you!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said even that with the contentious relationship between activists and government in the past few years, things are now reaching a boiling point. She mentioned not just the closure of the council meetings, but also Mayor Libby Schaaf's recent crackdown on after-dark protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's alarming how tone-deaf the mayor is -- she would choose to start trying to roll out these laws on a night of protest for black women,\" she said. She was referring to the #SayHerName march in Oakland, made up mostly of black women and children, in which police first started enforcing the mayor's new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It says a lot about who Oakland is for,\" Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that Schaaf's office is not responsible for the City Council's gallery closure. The mayor has no control over City Council meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight, Oakland City Council and its balconies will be open again. What happens three weeks from now, when the temporary restraining order ends, is still unclear. What is clear is what is at stake in the meeting this evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council will probably finalize its controversial budget, and it is likely that many will be on hand to share their views of the state of the city.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The high school ensemble, which started out as an after-school club, quickly grew into a serious ensemble, winning three International Championships of High School A Cappella (ICHSA), including the title this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vocal Rush has a decidedly Oakland sound and style, incorporating beat-boxing, vocal percussion, stepping, and other dance routines into their energetic repertoire of pop and jazz songs. But the 11 high school students of the 2014-2015 group wanted to make a special point in this year’s ICHSA competition in New York. So they dedicated their effort to \u003ca href=\"http://blacklivesmatter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, a national movement founded in 2013 to challenge police killings and other disparities African Americans face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being an African American girl and living in Oakland, California, I have to be very aware of who I am and cautious of who I am,” said Barbara DeVeaux-Griffith, Vocal Rush member. “Black Lives Matter really brings that back into focus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video above, we see powerful performances by Vocal Rush from “Lost in the World” by Kanye West to Mumford and Sons’ “Awake My Soul” captured at one of the group’s last concerts of 2015 at Sweet’s Ballroom in Oakland back in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Vocal Rush began crafting its competition last fall, the ensemble’s attention was also keenly focused on the world outside the classrooms of their campus — Oakland’s Fox Theater. The fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and the death of Eric Garner last year in New York had ignited street protests throughout the Bay Area. The group also responded to Oakland’s own painful history of police shootings of African Americans, including the fatal shooting of Oscar Grant in 2009 by a BART officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The students said we need to talk about this,” said Lisa Forkish, founder and director of Vocal Rush and Oakland School for the Arts vocal music teacher. “We’ve had conversations about identity, being a young person, and what is our role in the world at large and especially as an artist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vocal Rush’s rise in the \u003cem>a cappella\u003c/em> world has been steered by Forkish, who previously worked as the music director for the University of Oregon’s award-winning \u003cem>a cappella\u003c/em> group Divisi. That group inspired journalist Mickey Rapkin’s best-selling book, \u003ci>Pitch Perfect\u003c/i>, made into a movie in 2012 with the same title, and the sequel released this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Never underestimate a group of teenagers,” said Forkish. “Some of these kids have a lot more courage than a lot of adults I know.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The high school ensemble, which started out as an after-school club, quickly grew into a serious ensemble, winning three International Championships of High School A Cappella (ICHSA), including the title this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vocal Rush has a decidedly Oakland sound and style, incorporating beat-boxing, vocal percussion, stepping, and other dance routines into their energetic repertoire of pop and jazz songs. But the 11 high school students of the 2014-2015 group wanted to make a special point in this year’s ICHSA competition in New York. So they dedicated their effort to \u003ca href=\"http://blacklivesmatter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, a national movement founded in 2013 to challenge police killings and other disparities African Americans face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being an African American girl and living in Oakland, California, I have to be very aware of who I am and cautious of who I am,” said Barbara DeVeaux-Griffith, Vocal Rush member. “Black Lives Matter really brings that back into focus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video above, we see powerful performances by Vocal Rush from “Lost in the World” by Kanye West to Mumford and Sons’ “Awake My Soul” captured at one of the group’s last concerts of 2015 at Sweet’s Ballroom in Oakland back in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Vocal Rush began crafting its competition last fall, the ensemble’s attention was also keenly focused on the world outside the classrooms of their campus — Oakland’s Fox Theater. The fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and the death of Eric Garner last year in New York had ignited street protests throughout the Bay Area. The group also responded to Oakland’s own painful history of police shootings of African Americans, including the fatal shooting of Oscar Grant in 2009 by a BART officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That group inspired journalist Mickey Rapkin’s best-selling book, \u003ci>Pitch Perfect\u003c/i>, made into a movie in 2012 with the same title, and the sequel released this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Never underestimate a group of teenagers,” said Forkish. “Some of these kids have a lot more courage than a lot of adults I know.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
