OAKLAND After months of uncertainty over the future of the A’s long-term home, there was hope that Tuesday’s Oakland City Council vote regarding the team’s proposal for a new waterfront ballpark at Howard Terminal would bring clarity to the situation.
It did not exactly do that.
Following hours of public discourse, as well as comments from City Council members and A’s president Dave Kaval, six of eight council members voted in favor of a non-binding offer sheet for the stadium project, signaling an approval of the proposal. But with a catch.
The sheet was amended by the City Council to include requirements for affordable housing, anti-displacement protections and environmental measures and, as voted upon, was not a plan the A’s were prepared to support, although Kaval still hopes to reach an agreement before the council goes on summer recess in August.

La jefa de policía de Oakland, LeRonne Armstrong, lamentó el lunes la reciente decisión de los funcionarios de la ciudad de redirigir aproximadamente $18 millones en gastos policiales propuestos durante dos años, lo que Armstrong argumentó paralizará una fuerza policial que ya está demasiado estirada.
En una sesión informativa el lunes por la mañana, Armstrong argumentó que el cambio en la financiación y la reducción de la capacidad para contratar nuevos agentes como resultado evitarían que la policía de Oakland completara adecuadamente incluso las tareas del día a día, como el control del tráfico y la respuesta a las llamadas de emergencia.
