    Below are excerpts from the Brown Act and my earlier comment on a citizen request to deal with a pothole on Shafter Avenue. I would love to hear from the Mayor's office on why in 21st century oakland the subject list are not public.
    =====================
    In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.
    ===================
    Oakland's allocation of funds to roadway repair and paving is highly politicized to the point where some might allege actual corruption. Incredibly, the street pavement priority list is secret and unpublished. It would take a lawsuit under california's sunshine laws to make it public.

    I had a futile interaction with City staff about pavement priorities and got the absurd response that because 35th Ave (a major arterial) is deteriorated so badly that will be left to crumble to gravel or until millions of additional dollars come in. The City would rather spend valuable resources on Claremont Ave in a wealthy part of the City when it really did not need the paving. Claremont had a Pavement Condition Index of over 80 while 35th Ave has a PCI under 60!

    Alcatraz Ave in Oakland (border of berkeley) is also in pretty bad shape - some places worse than 35th av but the City cannot afford to let it crumble to gravel (too close to wealthy neighborhoods) so they're starting to do something about it seems (markings around cracks/potholes etc.)

    As an oakland resident, I appreciate the service I get from the dumping cleanup crews than the streets.

    OAKLAND MAYOR QUAN: Lead by example; publish the street priority list and stop the political pork and cronyism at the city council.
