Oakland Coliseum Vaccine Site to Be Extended
|
Alameda and Contra Costa County will partner with the State to extend the Oakland Coliseum vaccination site. Under the agreement announced April 6, the two counties will continue serving their respective residents. Personnel and equipment currently at the Coliseum will remain in place for the next four weeks. Perhaps most importantly, the State will continue providing half of the weekly vaccines for the site while the remaining half will come from Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. This site is expected to deliver up to 6,000 vaccines per day.
We thank all our elected officials and community partners who advocated for an extension of services after it was announced that the site would close on April 11. This extension allows us to complete transition feasibility planning without disrupting service to our community while a vital role in vaccinating our residents.
To sign up for an appointment at the Coliseum, please visit myturn.ca.gov. New appointments will be open every evening.

My collaborative efforts to combat illegal dumping are showing incredible results!
On Saturday, March 27, 2021, the Alameda County District Attorney's office - an integral partner in manifesting the Enforcement part of the Three E's approach to end illegal dumping - initiated an operation that also involved the DA's Environmental Crimes Unit, the Oakland Police Department, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, and the Oakland Public Works. The results speak for themselves:
- Officers caught a business and an individual in two separate incidents of illegal dumping and also issued citations for previously investigated dumping activity resulting in a total of 8 citations.
- Officers also conducted two warrant arrests for misdemeanor illegal dumping, both of whom were cited to appear in court.
- Police also arrested one suspect on charges of felony receipt of stolen property, and at least 16 additional citations were issued by police.
- The Oakland Public Works Department issued at least 9 administrative citations for activity related to illegal dumping and two notices for inadequate garbage services.
This is a powerful testament to the years of groundwork spent engaging residents in East Oakland, local businesses, and various public service agencies in the name of combating illegal dumping comprehensively. Illegal dumping is a scourge on our communities, and difficult to contain and prevent due to many overlapping contributing factors. This operation was a big step towards lasting change!
Read the full press release put out by DA O'Malley's office here.
I'm thrilled to announce that Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley will be the opening keynote speaker for the Inaugural Statewide Conference on Illegal Dumping!
Nancy is a core collaborator in the effort to address illegal dumping using my "Three E's" strategy (Education, Eradication, Enforcement), and has been a valuable partner in our pilot program in East Oakland.
Don't miss the chance to hear from her, and other leaders on how to address illegal dumping with best practices! This FREE virtual conference will take place over three days between April 21-23, 2021 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

Most Tuesdays, the Board of Supervisors holds a Regular Meeting during which the public is allowed to speak to the Board on items not on the agenda starting at or around 9:30am for the time being. (Please note that the BOS meetings do not start at a set time! More information appears closer to the meeting date and time, but be prepared to wait for it to begin.)
Agenda items in particular represent decisions made about our communities, and while we might not always agree on the best path forward, I am fond of saying that reasonable people will disagree and also that I get some of my best ideas from my constituency base. I am honored to serve on the Board as a County Supervisor and take the ideas, concerns, and feedback of the public very seriously.
Please, consider tuning into these meeting and encouraging your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same. We are stronger as a County when we are connected to one another, and engaged with the civic process.
The meeting calendar, including links to the agenda when it is available, can be found here.
The links to the livestream broadcast of the meetings, including a Zoom link in the event that Granicus is experiencing technical difficulties, can be found here.
