Daily Show idea about relocating Occupy Oakland being debated by Mayor and City Council

    Zennie, you have been doing a great job covering Occupy Oakland from different angles, and you understand what it’s like 
for us in the Mayor’s office to have to make decisions for the 
whole city. I thought you would want to see this. I am very frustrated with how we’re communicating to the media and I think
 people need to know what is really going on, that we do a 
plan to fix the problem, and people need to be patient and help us.

    Mayor’s possible sites for Occupy relocation. DO NOT FORWARD.

    D1: Not many parks in D1. Looking at Safeway on College parking lot. Brunner likes encampment’s support for small businesses 
and proximity to BART. Finding out if asphalt will be 
issue – or if it will actually be safer with the rain.

    D2: Grand Lake – Space at Splash Pad. Pamela Drake from BID supports camp, Grand Lake Theater too. Plenty of space for 
campers, some protection from rain under freeway. On 
border with District 3 so may get support from Nadel.

    D3: Nadel offered to try to expand existing homeless camp in Clawson. May have some resistance from campers regarding 
this location.

    D4: Woodminster – plenty of space, away from neighbors, not used in winter. Transportation will be difficult, talking to Mary 
at AC Transit about shuttles. Schaaf supportive of encampment.

    D5-7: Several large parks or parcels in several neighborhoods and possibly Coliseum parking lot. Will be difficult to move
 camp here due to Councilmember resistance. Trying to move to D1-4.
