Sources

Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.oaklandca.gov
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://oakland.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
• Meeting video: Granicus only (oakland.granicus.com via Legistar 'Video' column; also KTOP Channel 10). No official YouTube channel found.
• Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content was rebuilt from the official minutes on 2026-10-24 and will take in transcripts as they are processed.

Data quality notes

• Meeting content is built from the full text of the official Legistar minutes: City Council (concurrent with the Redevelopment Successor Agency) October 20 (draft), October 6 (draft) and September 15 (final), plus the Rules & Legislation Committee October 22 (draft) and the Finance & Management, Public Works And Transportation, Community & Economic Development and Special Public Safety committees of October 13. Video exists only on Granicus and none of it has been captioned, so no transcripts are coalesced yet.
• The minutes record motions, votes, mover and second, and speaker counts but not the discussion or speakers' positions, and they list item titles only (no wage figures, report findings or reasons for no votes).
• The Mayor is Barbara Lee (named in the October 6 minutes).
• October 20 consent-calendar items and committee amendments may differ: the Parking Citation System extension was amended at committee (June 30, 2027) but the Council minutes list the original text; see the Issue page.
• The Public Works And Transportation Committee minutes of October 13 open with the Finance And Management Committee's name, an apparent clerical error. The Community & Economic Development Committee was converted to a special meeting of the full Council at 1:42 p.m. when a quorum was present.
• Minutes of the September 22 committees, October 8 and October 15 Rules & Legislation, and committees from before September were not read for this rebuild.
• Oakland.gov returned 302/404 to automated requests; Legistar was used.
• City Planning Commission not on the Legistar calendar; no agenda found.
• The Council also meets on November 10 as a Special Concurrent Meeting (several ordinances await final passage) and December 1 (living wage initiative).
