From: Vice Mayor Kaplan And Councilmember Gallo
Recommendation: Adopt One Of The Following Two Options:
1) A Resolution Authorizing The City Administrator, Or Designee, To Enter Into An Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) With The African American Sports And Entertainment Group (AASEG), For A Period Of One Year, With One Administrative Option To Extend For Twelve (12) Months, To Work Toward The Acquisition And Development (Including Purchase, Lease, Or Partnership) Of The City's Share Of The Oakland Coliseum Complex, Consisting Of Various Parcels Bounded By San Leandro Street, 66th Avenue, Hegenberger Road And Interstate 880, Including, During The ENA Period, To Negotiate Terms For, But Not Limited To, The Financial Plan, And Community Benefits, And Authorizing And Accepting Payment Of An ENA Fee Of $200,000 Per Year And Project Expense Payments To The City Of Oakland; Or
I would like an independent contractor (fiduciary) not the city administrator work with the on this project because of implicit bias.
