"content": "\u003cp>Thanks to the drought, a visit to Folsom Lake right now is a chance to walk through California history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big reservoir on the American River northeast of Sacramento is nearing its lowest level since it first filled in the autumn of 1955. In what we'll hesitantly call a \"normal\" year, the lake level will decline as water is pumped out to surrounding communities or released downstream. Even so, it's still apparent you're looking at a lake, even if it's in reduced circumstances, waiting for replenishment from winter rains and spring runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the last couple of years have featured meager rain and the lowest spring runoff ever recorded. What used to be Folsom Lake has been transformed. Decades of inundation have drowned and scoured away most vegetation. The denuded lakebed is stark and wondrous, a sort of desertscape, a draw for locals and out-of-towners who have never seen anything quite like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of surreal,\" Dan Schafer told KQED video producer Adam Grossberg. \"It's really kind of cool and everything, but you're miles from the shoreline, and you just can't envision it filling up. But we're praying for that El Niño.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Folsom Lake sits at the outlet of a watershed that's fabulously productive in wet years, it can fill up with surprising speed. After it reached its nadir, near the end of the terrible drought of 1976-1977, the rains came. It took a little more than six months to go from record low to nearly full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although we've been hearing a lot of hopeful talk about El Niño, we don't yet know what this winter holds in the way of rain and snow.

In what we'll hesitantly call a \"normal\" year, the lake level will decline as water is pumped out to surrounding communities or released downstream. Even so, it's still apparent you're looking at a lake, even if it's in reduced circumstances, waiting for replenishment from winter rains and spring runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the last couple of years have featured meager rain and the lowest spring runoff ever recorded. What used to be Folsom Lake has been transformed. Decades of inundation have drowned and scoured away most vegetation. The denuded lakebed is stark and wondrous, a sort of desertscape, a draw for locals and out-of-towners who have never seen anything quite like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of surreal,\" Dan Schafer told KQED video producer Adam Grossberg. \"It's really kind of cool and everything, but you're miles from the shoreline, and you just can't envision it filling up. But we're praying for that El Niño.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Folsom Lake sits at the outlet of a watershed that's fabulously productive in wet years, it can fill up with surprising speed. After it reached its nadir, near the end of the terrible drought of 1976-1977, the rains came. It took a little more than six months to go from record low to nearly full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The plan itself states that it's important to retain and preserve West Oakland's industrial land and the job base that it supports. And in that document, Lederer-Prado asks how the city can court new industries while preserving \"existing quality jobs that have provided generations of Oakland residents with a decent living wage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Oakland doesn’t really get to decide which businesses move in and which move out on private property, said Lederer-Prado. And the city is not prepared to buy property to develop because of what it costs, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the plan acknowledges that there is a skills gap between residents and the kinds of jobs that are expected to grow in the region, such as tech, life sciences and green energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those with families who may have been unemployed for one or two generations -- it is hard to relate,” said Lederer-Prado.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Providing Jobs is About Human Dignity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some businesses moving into the area are providing good entry-level jobs for locals while trying to improve the area.

When wealthier customers purchase the higher-priced goods, it allows the store to keep the markup of fresh healthy produce lower, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The store has become an anchor business for the neighborhood, Cedeno says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When new residents come in they're spending their money there, and the native residents have business ownership,\" she says. \"What makes Oakland great is lifting up the culture of Oakland. And the culture of Oakland are the native residents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took cooperation and collaboration to make the co-op work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the beginning, $200,000 in redevelopment funds helped build the grocery store. The co-op is also leasing its space on Seventh Street from another nonprofit, Bridge Housing. Even with all the help, it took three years for the co-op to break even, Cedeno says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'He's Going To Have To Trust Somebody'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of people who want to collaborate in West Oakland. Take Seneca Scott, a former official with the Service Employees International Union who volunteers at the Bottoms Up Community Garden. The garden is on a vacant lot that Tony Coleman rents from Lucy Lequin, and Scott had what he thought was a great idea for the neighborhood: a beer garden. He even had an investor lined up, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10655378\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10655378 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-1440x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Thelma Williams is a volunteer chef who says she helps out, free of charge, because she wants her neighborhood to improve.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_0241-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volunteer chef Thelma Williams is making spaghetti to sell for $5 a plate.

This 36 percent hike was the highest percent increase in the nation at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Restaurants operate on extremely tight margins as it is,” said Chris Hillyard, co-owner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.farleyscoffee.com\" target=\"_blank\">Farley's Coffee\u003c/a>, which has three Bay Area locations, one in Oakland. “So this is a huge increase in one day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With labor costs rising so quickly, how could restaurant owners alter their businesses to remain open and profitable?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Hillyard joined a group of independent Oakland restaurant owners, the Oakland Indie Alliance, to discuss the best way to deal with the increased labor costs. The group came up with three different options. The first was to simply increase prices on all menu items. The second was to add a service charge on each bill. The third option was more radical: a price increase combined with a no-tipping policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hillyard decided to go with the first option: to raise all the prices at Farley's East, his company's Oakland store, by approximately 20 percent. So far, he hasn't seen any decrease in sales, and the higher prices are covering the higher wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's great for the workers,” Hillyard said. “Their wages are higher. They're happy about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Piper Conrad, a barista at Farley's, isn't so sure. While she is very happy to be working at Farley's, she's not convinced that the minimum wage increase is something to be happy about because it isn’t high enough to be truly effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the new minimum wage in Oakland is a pacifier,” she said. “[Workers] are settling for something that's a little higher, but not really what they asked for” -- referring to a proposed\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/09/04/across-the-country-fast-food-workers-rally-for-15-an-hour-pay/\"> $15 per hour wage\u003c/a> that many workers advocated for prior to Measure FF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conrad claims that tips are down across the board since prices have increased at Farley's East. She estimates that about 30 percent of her regular customers are tipping less or not tipping at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred and Elizabeth Sassen, co-owners of \u003ca href=\"http://homesteadoakland.com\">Homestead Restaurant\u003c/a> on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, are trying one of the other options to handle the higher minimum wage— a no-tipping policy. It's a growing trend in Oakland restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Measure FF was proposed, Homestead operated under a standard restaurant model in which the servers were receiving tips. With tips, servers were the highest-paid members of the staff, making approximately three times as much as cooks and other employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred Sassen described the problem anecdotally. If one imagines restaurant revenue as one bill in the amount of $100, labor costs would account for 30 percent. In a restaurant with 20 employees, each employee would be entitled to $1.05 of this hypothetical check. If nine of the employees are servers, they would split an additional $20 tip, increasing their share to $3.22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a lot of resentment in the industry between servers and cooks,” Elizabeth Sassen said. “The line cook works all day preparing food, while the server comes in at the end of the day and takes home the lion’s share of the money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sassens decided that simply raising prices wouldn’t address this underlying inequality. Measure FF presented them with an opportunity to try a new kind of pay structure. Homestead raised its prices by 20 percent and raised the wages for every employee, but servers are no longer allowed to collect tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sassens believe this change has created a more unified staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the old system, a server would never want to become a manager because it is an increase in hours and not necessarily an increase in pay,” Fred Sassen said. “Now we've created a career ladder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sassens didn’t say exactly how much they were paying servers, but they did say that employees are now paid higher wages based on experience. The lowest-paid employee is now making $15 per hour and the highest-paid employees make approximately $24 per hour. Servers are now paid a consistent wage, but they no longer have the opportunity to make substantially more money on a good night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the no-tipping policy was implemented, many servers at Homestead moved on to other restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tips are what we absolutely rely on,” said Conrad. “If I was working in a restaurant that didn't allow tips, I would quit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a barista, Conrad makes a certain amount of her income in tips, but not as much as a server would make in a full-service restaurant. She hopes to get a job as a server in the near future, while she finishes her massage therapy studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conrad believes that most servers do not see their job as a career.
