April 6: Nuisance Eviction Ordinance passed by Oakland City Council

THe picture above is of a memo that Councilmember Larry Reid seemed to be paying quite a bit of attention to. It is a bit difficult to read, but it looks like a memo about NEO advising the council members to amend the ordinance so it doesn't go into effect until June. Larry Reid did end up amending the ordinance to this effect later in the meeting. There also seems to be a monetary number written on the memo $134,000. It was never really mentioned what the cost of implementing NEO would be, so maybe $134,000 is the figure. $134,000 that could be used to fix up Oakland's schools, provide access to health care for a good portion of low income Oakland residents, providing money for rehabilitation or treatment programs, or even fixing up the City of Oakland's housing mess.
