Now starting the Public Works and Transpo meeting. This meeting agenda is also spare; just one item, a fairly large contract, but one that is not especially controversial, for specialized emergency vehicle parts.

a resident is here very unhappy about parking in front of his house, and especially towing and ticketing, in front of his own home. He wants to know why some parts of town get permits, others don't.
After several minutes of pontification, the City rep got down to the real problem, that the City doesn't invest into its emergency vehicle fleets, they're aging, falling apart and now require too much repair to extent beyond Oakland's capacity
That's it for the meeting also.
Gallo hadn't spoken enough during the meeting, so he gave flagrantly incorrect advice, telling people to call the sheriff to evict squatters, when the correct and only way to do it is through an eviction process.
