From: Councilmember Kaplan
Recommendation: Receive An Informational Report On The Status And Funds Available In The Equipment Services Fund And Self Insurance Liability Fund, And Information On Amounts Not Yet Collected And Due To The City Of Oakland, And Plan And Timeline To Collect Them For The Real Estate Transfer Tax And Business License Tax
The Equipment Services fund has been raided before, and lead to a very large deficit that took years to resolve. This replacement of vehicles is critical to operations such as street sweeping, removal of illegal dumping, fire fighting, police response and more. Dig into what will not be done. Also, Police have many incidents where vehicles are damaged and cannot be driven, they sit in the bone yard and replacements must be purchased.
