2.14 21-0557 Subject: Board Of Port Commissioners Reappointment
From: Office Of The Mayor
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Confirming The Reappointment Of Michael Colbruno To The Board Of Port Commissioners
Please do not confirm the reappointment of Michael Colbruno to the Board of Port Commissioners. In 2019, Oakland’s Public Ethics Commission found that Colbruno violated the City’s Lobbyist Registration Act and fined him $10,000, which is almost the highest possible fine for this behavior. This behavior should not be rewarded with a commission. I would urge the City Council to more closely vet the Mayor's commission appointments before voting yes on them.
