June 24, 2016 Mayor Libby Schaaf 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza 3Rd Floor ALASKA CALIFORNIA FLORIDA MID -PACIFIC NORTHEAST NORTHERN ROCKIES NORTHWEST ROCKY MOUNTAIN WASHINGTON, D.C. INTERNATIONAL June 24, 2016 Mayor Libby Schaaf 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza 3rd Floor Oakland, CA 94612 Appended below are the names of 7,792 individuals who have submitted public comments opposing the proposed coal export terminal in the City of Oakland. In addition to signing on in support of the following letter, 1,911 individuals of the total number have submitted personalized comments. The personalized comments start on page 2 and end on page 113. RE: Put a stop to coal exports from Oakland Dear Mayor Libby Schaaf, CC: Governor Brown, State Senator Loni Hancock, Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, and Assemblymember Rob Bonta I strongly oppose the proposal to ship coal through the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal. The mile-long coal trains bringing coal from Utah would release hundreds of pounds of toxic coal dust into the air as they travel to the proposed coal terminal, and the project developer is not bound by any enforceable commitments to protect community members from coal dust releases at the coal terminal. Communities like West Oakland already suffer from high rates of asthma, heart disease and cancer. More pollution should not be released into the neighborhoods near the proposed terminal and train lines. Allowing coal exports from Oakland undermines commitments made by the City of Oakland and the State of California to fight climate pollution. Coal-fired power plants are among the biggest emitters of climate change-forcing greenhouse gases, and allowing coal exports would allow these plants to continue operations. For this reason, the City of Oakland and the state legislature have passed resolutions opposing the transportation and use of dirty and dangerous fossil fuels like coal. California has also passed landmark climate change laws that set greenhouse gas reductions goals and mandate turning away from dirty fuel sources. The City of Oakland should not turn a blind eye to these important commitments or to the health of its residents. We have a moral obligation to do the right thing. The Bay Area, the state, and the country are watching what happens with this proposal. Please stand up for Oakland residents and our future, and put a stop to this coal terminal development. The Undersigned HEADQUARTERS 50 CALIFORNIA STREET, SUITE 500 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94111 T: 415.217.2000 F: 415.217.2040 [email protected] WWW.EARTHJUSTICE.ORG Nicola Grody Oakland, CA 94610-4135 As a parent of an asthmatic child and having developed asthma as an adult living in Oakland I fear that coal dust here in Oakland, were we enjoy a daily breeze coming directly from West Oakland, presents a very REAL and serious health hazard. Our quality of living will absolutely decrease as we close windows and are forced to stay indoors. We will be limited as to what outdoor activities we can do out of fear of damaging coal dust in our comprpmised lungs. I have concerns for all the residents in West Oakland, the water quality in the Bay and Lake Merritt. Also, what about our urban wildlife? Especially birds. Coal through Oakland should nit even be on any city council table, shoukd not even be a topic of conversation. It really seems quite obvious hhow bad it is for so many people, animal, water areas and environmental issues. PLEASE, keep coal out of Oakland and away from California shorelines. thank you Jacqueline Gross Oakland, CA 94607-1419 As a West Oakland resident who lives less than three miles from the proposed project, and as someone with already compromised lung capacity, I don't want more dangerous dust and other coal bi-products further polluting the air. I see what comes in my windows now; it's hard to miss. There's no reason to add to it other than another company's greed (and that of the Oakland City Council and anyone else who has taken money from the coal companies). We'd be ground zero for anything that goes wrong. I don't want that for myself or my neighbors. The few jobs this project would create would do nothing to offset the potential disaster and higher medical costs that will be borne by those of us in direct line of this project. Jordan Brunel Oakland, CA 94612-5411 As a resident of Oakland my entire life, I would be ashamed if Oakland became the biggest exporter of coal in the country. We have worked incredibly hard to become one of the greener cities in the nation, and I am so proud of that fact. We, as a community, need to fight the efforts of the fossil fuel industry; not entice them. Let's stand together and make it known, that we will not allow this to happen. #NoCoalInOakland Margaret Rosen Oakland, CA 94602-1907 As a 20-year Oakland resident, I strongly oppose this move. We have soooo much good happening in Oakland now, including by the waterfront, let's not allow this to detail our progress. This is not what Oakland is about! Dale Chung Oakland, CA 94607-5207 As a lif long resident of Oakland and a home owner in Old Oakland I am against this toxic business coming to Oakland. This is bad for residents in the area, the environment and Oakland. Please put a stop to this back door deal. Deborah Maizels Oakland, CA 94602-1203 As a long time Oakland resident I strongly oppose the proposal to ship coal through the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal. Please take every action to assure this proposal does not become reality. Deborah Maizels Michael Simler Oakland, CA 94608-4410 As a resident of West Oakland I strongly believe this should NEVER be allowed to happen! There are so many better opportunities to be pursued instead of this antiquated idea!! Jillian Aguilar Oakland, CA 94609-1246 As a true lover of Oakland, I beg you not to build this environmental catastrophe. Allergies and asthma are on the rise with all the youth I know, please don't make it worse. Gail Mcgowan Oakland, CA 94605-3815 As an Oakland home owner I oppose any method of using the Great City of Oakland as a coal dump, for that is exactly what is proposed. I ask the CityCouncil to protect all Oakland citizens from this health hazard. I ask The City Planning Commission and the Port of Oakland to refuse any type of building permit for this property. And I ask those who accepted any monies from these charlatans to recuse themselves. Oakland needs courageous leaders. Oakland does not need special interest thieves. Maya Markovich Oakland, CA 94602-1202 As an Oakland resident and 3rd generation Californian I am appalled and angry that this terminal is even under consideration. It is absolutely unnecessary and irresponsible. Susan Colson Oakland, CA 94602-2418 As an Oakland resident with asthma, I ask you to please ban coal rom coming through Oakland. Mercy Manning Oakland, CA 94609-1207 As an Oakland resident, home-owner, mother of 3 young children and as a professional working to bring energy efficiency and clean energy alternatives to market, I urge you to ban coal exports through Oakland. This project is a major step backward for our climate change goals, and for health of the residents of Oakland. Michael Hall Oakland, CA 94611-4924 Dear Governor Brown, Mayor Libby Schaaf, State Senator Loni Hancock, Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, and Assemblymember Rob Bonta, I have lived here in Oakland my entire life and after many years of West Oakland being a place where people felt unsafe, today, it has become a highly sought after place to live! The timing of this West Oakland Coal nonsense will once again make west oakland a place to fear being again! And not only West Oakland but all of Oakland, SF, Berkeley, Emeryville, Richmond, San Leandro, Alameda, the entire Bay, and the creatures who live in the water, on the shores, in the skies and trees, and We the people, who have kids, and grandkids, and all of us who already have no choice about Floride in our water, Unidentified GMO foods in our stores, RoundUP weed killer everywhere and in everything we consume, Alluminum Particulates into our lungs and brains with every breath we take already, floating down from the sky, after being sprayed by large planes who's only purpose is to do just that, and endless toxic damage distributed by Monsanto, allowed by EPA and making the people pay for it all! We draw the line on this damn coal plant! We will not stand by and allow this additional polluting to occur in our city! Stop this Environmentally Damaging Coal Ash producing, pollution increasing Coal Plant from being built in Oakland and taking a giant step backward to the polluted past, rather than to the clean burning, more efficient, intelligent future! Jenifer Schoenberger Oakland, CA 94618-1314 For the sake of all of us who have chronic asthma and respiratory illness and struggle to control the successful treatments daily please do not subject us to coal particles seeping into all areas: our air and into our lungs, on our bodies , on our homes in the bay , on our plants ! I grew up with coal dust in New England and watched our lives improve when home heating switched to oil, no more coal dust!, I bathed my baby 2 times a day in from Chicago from coal dust pollution in the 60's and we breathed it in . Paul Tagami was my dead nephew Ben's friend who public ally hold of how Ben befriended him and literally brought him food each day when he was a Phil was a teen on his own .

    January 19, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Charles E. Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

    July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon RE: AB 1054 (Holden) – Wildfires – CONCERNS and Request for Amendments Dear Governor Newsom, President Pro Tem Atkins, and Speaker Rendon: As mayors of three of the state’s largest cities, we believe local governments can and should play a leading role in ensuring that our electricity is safe, reliable, affordable, and clean. We support your efforts to ensure that the victims of the recent devastating California wildfires are made whole and that the state government does everything it can to reduce the likelihood and severity of future wildfires. We respectfully express our significant concerns about the July 5 version of AB 1054 (Holden), which would expand the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC’s) authority over local government decision-making when considering the acquisition of assets from an electrical corporation. This proposed expansion of CPUC authority is unnecessary to achieve the goals of the bill and would not meaningfully address the risk of future catastrophic wildfires. Additionally, this section of the bill would set a dangerous precedent by limiting local government autonomy over its own employee relationships established through locally-negotiated collective bargaining agreements. To our knowledge, this specific language was added to the bill on July 5, was not circulated to potentially impacted stakeholders, including in our cities, and had not been publicly discussed prior to being amended into the bill. AB 1054 would amend Public Utilities Code (PUC) Sections 854 and 854.2 to require a “voluntary or involuntary change in ownership of assets from an electrical or gas corporation to ownership by a public entity” to first secure authorization to do so from the CPUC.

Ocean legend Valerie Taylor separates truth from tall tales. I’M OFTEN REFERRED TO as a scientist. I’m not. I write from 65 years of experience. The oceans have been very good to my husband Ron and me. They’ve given us a life of excitement and adventure. The marine world is my teacher, my workplace, and my love, yet Ron and I have but dabbled in what it offers–unknown depths and their mysterious creatures, covering 72 per cent of our planet’s surface. Ron and I learnt very early that footage of sharks would sell more readily than that of any other marine animal. In the 1950s Movietone News (an international cinema-shown newsreel covering the years 1929–79) bought Ron’s 16 mm footage, blew it up to 35 mm and showed it in theatres around the world. Then came television (in 1956 in Australia) and the public’s lust for any images of sharks had us searching offshore waters for these “dangerous” predators. For us, filming sharks in their natural environment became a way of life. Much of my first-hand knowledge was acquired in the 1980s when using the mesh suit. There’s no easy way to describe sharks. There are hundreds of species, all with different characteristics, but few of them are potentially dangerous to humans. The most threatening species cruising our coastline is the white shark.

    The OECD Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth initiative Inclusive Growth at the OECD As a response to the growing gap between the rich and the poor, the OECD launched the Inclusive Growth Initiative in 2012, with support from the Ford Foundation. This initiative has been helping governments analyse rising inequalities, monitor material living standards and broader well-being, and design policy packages that promote equity and growth. It is driven by a multidimensional approach to Inclusive Growth, going beyond income to see how people are faring in other areas of life, like jobs and health. The Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative Building on this foundation, the OECD launched the Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative in March 2016, with support from the Ford Foundation and in partnership with a range of Supporting Institutions, including the Brookings Institution, C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, Cities Alliance, ICLEI, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, National League of Cities, UCLG and United Way Worldwide. The initiative aims to provide mayors with a unique platform in the debate on inequality, elevating their voices in national debates and global agendas; and to facilitate exchanges among city leaders, sharing concrete solutions to address inequality. A global coalition of local leaders to fight inequalities Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth form a coalition of willing leaders who have committed to tackling inequalities and promoting more inclusive economic growth in cities.

    March 23, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives 317 Russell Senate Office Building 1236 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives 322 Hart Senate Office Building 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy and Leader Schumer: As Congress works on its next relief package, we are extremely concerned about the significant health risk the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak poses for people experiencing homelessness and on individuals teetering on the edge of homelessness. We strongly urge you to provide $105 billion to state and local entities to protect those who are unhoused and those on the brink from becoming homeless from COVID-19 through the Emergency Solutions Grant Program and rental assistance programs for low-income individuals and families. There are an estimated 568,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in America, according to the most recent Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress. This includes 171,670 people in families (including children), 35,038 unaccompanied homeless youth, and 96,141 chronically homeless individuals. We are very concerned because our neighbors experiencing homelessness reside in public spaces and congregate in shelters, where they may have higher exposure to the virus. Further, nationally, people experiencing homelessness have more limited access to the preventive measures recommended by the nation’s health authorities, including, social distancing, home isolation, handwashing, avoiding high-touch surfaces and rapid access to health care.
