The Parklet will needto meet standards for flooring gaps, rail gaps, and handrail height that will be determined bythe Building Department.If the program issuccessful and the City allows more Parklets, the Municipal Code may beamended to add a specific section on Parklets.Why a Pilot Program?Parklets can be an innovative way to improve the pedestrian experience of the City. We hopeall residents will benefit from the creativity and initiative of private businesses and communitygroups in the creation of unique, attractive urban spaces. Parklets have been very successful inSan Francisco. Pleasesee http://sfpavementtoparks.sfplanning.org/for more detail. SinceParklets are new to Oakland, a pilot program will allow usto work out what is best for Oakland.There will be "before" and "after" surveys at the Parklet locations to gather data about theeffects of Parklets. Parklet sponsors will be asked to participate in the survey.Why a Temporary Program?A Parklet is a temporary structure and is not meant to be permanent. It needs to be movable,have access beneath for cleaning and for drainage and also to be re-movable. The initial permitwill be for one year, with up to two annual renewals contingent upon the Permit Holdermeeting its Maintenance Agreement. Parklet renewals will be charged an annual Renewal Fee.After three years, the Parklet permit may be rescinded and offered in another suitable location,in order to make this temporary street enhancement available throughout the City.ScheduleSeptember 26: Issue Notice of Parklet OpportunityOctober 24 : Applications dueNovember 4: Initial selections announcedNovember 8: Public Works Committee Hearing on Pilot Parklet ProgramNovember 15: City Council Hearing on Pilot Parklet ProgramNovember 16: Applicants post Public Notice and mail noticesDecember 5: Detailed plans due, with Permit Application and FeeJanuary 2012: Permits issued to Permit Holders for Parklets

Medians: The CBDs plans for renovating the medians within the district boundaries werediscussed in great detail. Visual aids, including elevation drawings, were provided. Afterdiscussing our plans, Mr. Troyan indicated that the scope of work, in his opinion, falls outsidethe rules and regulations ofthe City of Oakland union charter, which states: "that no employeeshall lose his Of her job or compensation to another organization ..." Since neither of these tworules will be broken, it is not a PWA issue.Mr. Troyan indicated that in an effort to assist us in attaining our goals, he would start theprocess of assessing the condition of the irrigation systems within each median.Master Encroachment Permit: We were given permission to amend our Master EncroachmentPermit to include median landscaping. We have been told not to proceed with the renovationsuntil we get word back from Mr. Troyan or Aliza Gallo that the grievance that was filed againstus has been arbitrated and a decision has been made. This should be done by early November.

PWA Staff on Our Board: We recommended that PWA assign a representative to our boardsand 50BO committee. City staff seemed to agree that this was a good idea and Aliza agreed tohelp to facilitate this. Mr. Troyan indicated that the PWA representative may need to be aliaison and not a voting member of the board or committee.

Parks and Public Spaces: Public space development and maintenance was discussed in generalterms. City staff seemed supportive of our vision and again said that these projects are not inconflict with the city, but must wait until the process of arbitration is complete.

Additional Items: Steve Snider made the recommendation that we look further into the arbitration

process as we may be lumped into same grievance as a Volunteers for Americagrievance that has nothing to do with our districts. Allza indicated that she could followup with Tracy Nichol, the city attorney for arbitration to see about this.

Aliza advised that CBOstaff work with City staff, such as Blair M i ller, to com pile adetailed master schedule of streetscape improvements such as lighting and way findingsign, so that we not duplicate our efforts.
