Jon Gruden Oakland Raiders Head Coach Target According To ESPN Reports
Jon Gruden Oakland Raiders Head Coach Target According To ESPN Reports The Oakland Raiders are reportedly going to target John Gruden as the next head coach. I can see how this story came about: Mark Davis talked to someone and then that person tipped ESPN. Davis has a way of making comments that indicate a bold move. He did this with me, when he asked me to come up with a plan for a stadium for Oakland. But ESPN reporters Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen say this time it's different and that Davis is more intent on making an offer. Gruden says only that he's talked to people, but that's it. Nothing firm. Stay tuned. PLEASE INVEST IN ZENNIE62MEDIA VIA PAYPALHERE: http://ift.tt/2u7j8De

Final Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL UNLV Stadium Joint Use Agreement Makes UNLV Look Like A Fool
Final Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL UNLV Stadium Joint Use Agreement Makes UNLV Look Like A Fool Basic points: SNTIA law Section 29.3(g)(h) says rent should not go over operational costs for UNLV. Agreement has UNLV paying operational costs but stops short of calling that rent. Then says Oakland Raiders as Stadco will determine operational cost for UNLV later, as the Las Vegas stadium nears completion. That means UNLV could get stuck with a situation where costs overruns are passed to it to help pay. It’s clear the Joint-Use Stadium agreement was done without a clear understanding of costs and revenues associated with the stadium, and even though costs and revenues were talked about at the SNTIC hearings! Then, according to SNTIC, UNLV was to get $221 million in revenue offset money. But the way the agreement is written, there are three conditions such that UNLV may not see a dime of that money. For example, UNLV has to wait until the debt service reserve is at $9 million. Then there is the Capital Contribution and that is $75 million! And what if there is a deficit in revenue as it today and that money has to be used from the debt service reserve and then replaced? Bye, bye, UNLV! Those conditions should be removed and the sprit of the plan honored. The details are in my blog post link below, but the bottom line is right now, the UNLV Regents would be total fools to approve this as is. Stay tuned.

St. Louis Judge In Rams LA NFL Relocation Lawsuit Just Gave Oakland Gift In Raiders Case
St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Christopher McGraugh did the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda a giant solid in his denial of the NFL's pre-trail motion to dismiss various aspects of the lawsuit brought against it for the approval of the St. Louis Rams move to Los Angeles. On Wednesday, Judge McGraugh allowed city of St. Louis, St. Louis County and the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority claims of breach of contract to stand as the basis for what may be a court trial unless the League elects to settle with the parties. What I will collectively call The City of St Louis argues that the NFL violated its own relocation policy in the process of approving the St. Louis Rams move, and thus were guilty of a breach of contract. Since San Diego and Oakland were part of the same triangle of actions the NFL undertook to relocate the San Diego Chargers, the St. Louis Rams, and the Oakland Raiders, and all referred to the same relocation policy as a contract the NFL itself did not follow, what happened in St. Louis opens the door to what could be winable lawsuits in San Diego and particularly in Oakland. “Foreover Oakland”, a coalition of Raiders fans that secured two top sports lawyers, and tried to get the City of Oakland and Alameda County to join it, were initially rebuffed because the Oakland elected officials were concerned they may lose the court battle and be on the hook for millions of dollars. But Wednesday's actions in St. Louis will cause the NFL to produce potentially damaging communications that would strengthen Oakland's case. So, let's see what the NFL does: go ahead with what will be a damaging defense process, or settle – and that settlement would open the door for similar actions in Oakland and San Diego. Stay tuned.

Ken Houston, Kristina Molina, Officially Challenge Libby Schaaf For Oakland Mayoral Race 2018
Ken Houston, Kristina Molina, Officially Challenge Libby Schaaf For Oakland Mayoral Race 2018 Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, after months of being the only one running for mayor (again) in 2018, has not one, but two challengers as 2017 comes to a close: Ken Houston and Kristina Molina. One is well known to many in the Oakland political community, the other not. Ken Houston, the well-known community liason and clean-neighborhood activist, has placed his hat in the ring to run for the office a second time. In 2014, Mr. Houston was one of 15 candidates, and received 518 votes, or one-half of one percent of the total votes cast in the election that made Ms. Schaaf the 50th Mayor of Oakland. Since then, Ken has focused on two issues: homelessness and illegal dumping as the main problems he says Oakland has not effectively addressed. In 2014, he was Chair of the East Oakland Beautification Council. Today, and using the latest social media tools, Houston has developed an Oakland following that's much larger than during his 2014 run. By contrast, Kristina Molina is a first-time-candidate for Mayor of Oakland, and comes to the political arena with a compelling story. She is the Latina Outreach and Youth Camp Coordinator at BAWAR: Bay Area Women Against Rape, America's first rape crisis center. She has worked for BAWAR for eight years, and a recent fundraising outreach page she uploaded explained “In the last 8 years, I have seen a significant change in the number of surviving Latinos asking for our services. In fact, our agency went from providing 1-3 sessions of individual counseling per week to 60-80 sessions per week, from receiving no crisis hotline calls to providing crisis intervention to 30 Spanish-speaking surviving callers per month, and from managing zero Spanish-speaking volunteers to delegating 30 Latino volunteers. Unfortunately, government and federal grants are slow to responds to this capacity issue and BAWAR´s Latino Program is in need of financial support to continue to provide the following key services to surviving Latinos in Alameda County.” At present, neither Mr. Houston nor Ms. Molina has not posted a visible-in-search website or social media page for their mayoral asperations, but I will report when they do. Right now, the news is that according to the City of Oakland's Official Elections Webpage, the Oakland Mayor's Race has three candidates: the incumbent, Libby Schaaf, and Ken Houston and Kristina Molina.

Clark County Zoning Board Gets Bad Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Infrastructure Development
Clark County Zoning Board Gets Misnamed, Incomplete Oakland Raiders UNLV NFL Stadium Infrastructure Development Agreement On January 3rd 2018, the Clark County Board of Commissioners, meeting as the Zoning Committee, will take up the reqiest by Clark County Planning Department Staff to approve a 56-page document that's both mis-named and incomplete. It's called “A Development Agreement With LV Stadium And Events Company”, which inplies that Clark County will take up the full and complete development agreement as spelled out in Section 29 of the Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee (SNTIA). But in point of fact, the agreement only covers who does what and pays for what with respect to roads, and sewers and street lights with respct to the Oakland Raiders / Las Vegas UNLV NFL Stadium – it has nothing to do with the more complex specifications for the stadium events center itself. Additionally, the infrastructure development agreement has no language that explains under what authority the stadium is to be constructed, and under what legal direction the infrastructure work is to be done. For example, the SNTIA Section 29, 2 (h) calls for developer, that's the Raiders to “Provide for an adequate contribution by the developer partner for the construction or improvement of any infrastructure off the site of the project that is determined to be necessary for the project by the Department of Transportation, the County or any municipality in which the project is located and that is specified in the regional infrastructure and service evaluation required for a high mpact project before a special use permit is issued for the project; The (what should be called) Clark County Las Vegas Stadium Infrastructure And Transportation Development Agreement does not name the SNTIA as its reference document, but then is written to assign basicaly the same set of responsibiltiies to the Developer, which is the Raiders, as the SNTIA. Does that mean the eventual development agreement written for the Stadium Authority will not include that assignment of responsibility, even though the law says it has to be there? It looks like a kind of “left-hand” versus “right-hand” problem, where we have Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak leading Clark County staffers in one direction, almost without the involvement of the Stadium Authority. I say that because his name and signature is attached to the reports on the agenda item. Thus, we have Sisolak representing the “left-hand” and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority as the “right-hand” and they're obviously not connected to any body in the middle. Going back to Section 29, 2 (h), where's the language saying that the Raiders have to provide an adequate contribution by the developer partner for the construction or improvement of any infrastructure off the site of the project that is determined to be necessary for the project by the Department of Transportation, the County, as per the SNTIA? Yes, the overall order of the development agreement has the Raiders as developer agreeing to pay for And under “Property Dedications” in the (what should be called) Clark County Las Vegas Stadium Infrastructure And Transportation Development Agreement, no mention is made of the process called for in the SNTIA and where the land is to be conveyed from the Raiders as Developer to the Stadium Authority, and not to Clark County without the Stadium Authority, which is required for the purpose of issuing bonds with respect to the $750 million subsidy. The Clark County document acts as if there is no need for the Stadium Authority in this case, when it is there for the issuance of bonds in partnership with Clark County. In short, the document was written with no reference to the SNTIA or the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board, even though the SNTIA gives the County its powers of assignment of infrastructure development with respect to the stadium project, just by mention. But the SNTIA also has the Stadium Authority Board in position to issue approval on activities that may have to be done by the Raiders as developer – see SNTIA Section 29, 2(i). The sections of the Clark County agreement, like Section 2.01 (c) called “County Authorization, Hearing, and Ordinance”, makes no mention of the SNTIA as the true governing law representing the State of Nevada. It's as if the Governor of Nevada had nothing to do with the stadium, let alone form the Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee that wrote the recommendations that the Nevada Legislature approved to become the SNTIA. Is Sisolak trying to pull a fast one on the Stadium Authority? Why? Is he concerned the Raiders will miss the stadium documents timeliine? It certainly looks like it. Whatever the reason, he made a mistake: the document must be rewritten to bring it in line with the law and what the Stadium Authority Board is charged to do. Stay tuned.

Answering Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Tax Revenue Questions
Answering Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Tax Revenue Questions 1. How can you say there's a problem if they're collecting tax money monthly for a $50 million waterfall? Because for the desired $50 million waterfall to be reached, the average monthly revenue would have to be at $4.16 million. Right now, the average is at $3,814,747 - $345,252.56 less that what it should be at per month. While that's not the only problem, they're on track to collect $45,776,969.33 for the 12-month period. So, even their waterfall mark is off. 2. Why do you say the Las Vegas Stadium Authority can't afford the $750 million subsidy? Because even if the LVSA were able to subtract $50 million from the bond issue, and have a $700 million bond issue at 4 percent interest for 30 years (the life of the Raiders and UNLV lease for the stadium and the reported term of collection of the stadium tax), using a simple municipal bond calculator, the monthly bond debt service would be $3,341,907.07, and you have to multiply that times required the debt coverage ratio to get the monthly income you need from the stadium hotel tax to meet industry requirements to pay off that bond - that equals a need for a stadium tax revenue per month of $5,012,860. That mark was reached once in the short history of this, and that was March of 2017. That's $1,198,113.60 per month more than the current monthly average Clark County stadium tax revenue of $3,814,747 - in fact, it's also more than the $4.16 million average needed for the $50 million waterfall. Which begs the question: why have a $50 million waterfall, and not more to meet the bond average, in the first place? And that's another giant problem that points to Nevada politics. And I'm not done, here. 3. If the Las Vegas Stadium Authority can't afford the $750 million subsidy, how did we get to it? Because both Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis and Las Vegas Sands representatives said they would walk away from the Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee, and stadium talks, if the subsidy was not set at $750 million. That flew in the face of the original studies which showed that even a hotel tax of one percent (and not the 7/10ths of one percent or the eventual 88/100ths of 1 percent), would allow a subsidy of $550 million. But then the elected officials on the SNTIC didn't want a one-percent rate, and so it was dropped, first to 7/10ths of one percent, and then to 88/100ths of 1 percent - and the consultants were tasked to make it look like that could work, even though it really could not work. But the Oakland Raiders and Las Vegas Sands were going to run away and Raiders President Mark Badain balked, so the SNTIC / LVSA consultants created a way on spreadsheet to show how a $750 million subsidy could be done. What they did, was avoid showing the use of a low bond interest rate of 2 percent, and while they showed bond debt payments extending out beyond the 30 year tax period, failed to tell anyone where that money was going to come from if they were going to stop collecting the tax after 30 years - even as the chart showed eight additional years of monies collected after the tax ended. Well, the simple answer is this: the Clark County General Fund. Thus, the promise that the stadium was going to be funded by the public and only by the hotel tax, and not touch the Clark County General Fund, was not true. All of this was done to keep the Oakland Raiders and Las Vegas Sands at the SNTIC negotiating hearings for a stadium. Now, the real numbers are here, they're not good, and because of two things: the too-low stadium hotel tax rate, and the One October horror. Even after the eventual recovery of Las Vegas tourism, the problem produced by the too-large subsidy and the too-low tax rate will mean Clark County General Fund suffers - unless the 39 percent public contribution rule is applied as spelled out by the law. If that's done and the Raiders are asked to pay the difference, that also would impact the team's ability to have a stadium in Las Vegas without going broke in the process.

Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium November Room Tax Revenue At All Time Low $3.2 Million
Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium November Room Tax Revenue At All Time Low $3.2 Million The Clark County Stadium Hotel Tax Revenue report for November 2017 came up with a number that was the lowest in the short history of the collection of the portion of money from hotel room rentals that was earmarked for the Oakland Raiders / UNLV Las Vegas Stadium Project: just $3.2 million. That's not only an all-time low, it's lower than the previous month of Octobers revenue of $4,327,651 by approximately $1,127,651, and lower than the previous low of $3,739,737 by $539,737. The November Stadium Room Tax Revenue news was issued in a tweet by Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak, who added that the number was "below projections." That marks the first time Commissioner Sisolak shared bad news about the stadium tax revenue report without even an attempt to sugar-coat it. And that's because it represents a giant dip. While Sisolak did not share what the projected number was, my educated guess is that it was at least $4.2 million, which means we should expect to see a deficit number around, if not greater than, $1 million. What this means is two things: the path to collect $50 million in pre-bond tax money for the stadium bonds hit a giant snag, and if December numbers are similar, then we could see the near-evaporation of the $2.5 million surplus that was posted in October. It also means the planned bond issue of $700 million at 30 years, and assuming a interest rate of 4 percent, and at debt-coverage ratio of 1.5, this revenue report is not enough to effectively pay for that subsidy - it would have to be reduced, or the stadium hotel tax rate of 88/100ths of 1 percent would have to be increased. This is why I recommended increasing the tax rate to 1.4 percent - to have a cushion to avoid problems like the one created by the horrible event that was One October. But that would call for returning to the Nevada Legislature. Also, this could mean the downsizing of the stadium project to a UNLV-sized facility of 45,000 seats, and a reduction in the subsidy level from $750 million, and because the tax is not throwing off enough monthly money to pay for the bond issue originally proposed for the Oakland Raiders Stadium. Stay tuned. Merry Christmas!

Google Search Algorithm December 2017 Update Produces Bad YouTube Results
Google Search Algorithm December 2017 Update Produces Bad YouTube Results Google search has been updated yet again, according to a number of sources, but the latest change produces video section results that are just plain wrong. Take the example in the video. I made a video-blog reporting that Google's update has caused a search for "Nikki Bas Oakland" to make results in the videos area that give you anything but vids that have the words "Nikki Bas Oakland" on the page. In the example I show, only one video on the first page has two of the three words "Nikki Bas Oakland" in it. Also three of the videos that appear are from my Zennie62 on YouTube channel, but don't have "Nikki Bas Oakland" in them. Meanwhile the two videos I made about Nikki Bas run for Oakland City Council don't appear at all - yet they're news. That's bad. If Google keeps doing this, people will just continue their migration to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and so on. Google also hurts YouTube's ability to get traffic that can be monetized - so this is bad, all the way around. Time for a change. Now.

Nikki Bas vs Abel Guillen For Oakland City Council District Two Race 2018
Nikki Bas vs Abel Guillen For Oakland City Council District Two Race 2018 Nikki Bas, or "Nikki Fortunato Bas", has as of November 28th 2017 ,according to City of Oakland Elections Documents, emerged as a true listed candidate for the Oakland City Council District Two Seat currently held by Abel Guillen. So far, she's file an FPPC 410, 501, and an OCRA 301 document. Ms. Bas comes to this political race with some good local credentials: she is the head of the Partnership for Working Families and has been for seven years, and prior to that she ran the East Bay Alliance for A Sustainable Economy for seven years, which means she can tap into campaign contributions from the Oakland and East Bay business community. On her Linkedin page, Ms. Bas says she is an "Advocate for economic & racial justice", so it's not too hard to figure out that her platform will be related to the affordable housing problem in Oakland. Indeed, her website at Nikki4Oakland.com, explains her intention, thusly: "I’ve lived in Oakland’s Crocker Highlands neighborhood for 20 years. I’ve raised my family here, and my daughter went to a great public elementary school just a few blocks away. When I take my morning run out my door and down to Lake Merritt, I see the beauty of Oakland and our rich cultural history, and I want everyone in Oakland to experience that. But there are two different Oaklands and they are pulling farther apart. I’m concerned that more of my neighbors will be impacted by the growing housing and homelessness crisis. Oakland is the 4th most expensive rental market in the country and our homeless population has jumped 25% to over 2,760 people. New development could displace many of our neighbors in Chinatown and Eastlake. I’m running to bring bold, innovative and proactive leadership to make Oakland work for all of us. I will tackle the critical issues facing our city and District 2 — housing, jobs, community safety — and bring accountability to City Hall. I will listen and bring people together, and I will have the courage to stand up and fight for real solutions — just as I have as a community organizer. I’m guided by values I learned from my parents, both immigrants from the Philippines. Witnessing their struggles taught me the importance of integrity, honesty and fairness. I would be proud to be Oakland's first Filipina Councilwoman and give voice to our diverse Asian Pacific Islander community at City Hall." On her Facebook page, she reports that "200 people have raised $30,000 in 3 weeks to support my bid for City Council". Ms. Bas was a speaker in favor of striking City of Oakland workers two weeks ago, and during the protests held in Downtown Oakland as was Councilmember Guillen. While others may emerge to join Ms. Bas in running against Guillen, she is not only the only challenger, but also the only person to run for any open Oakland City Council seat in the 2018 election - that includes that for Mayor Of Oakland, where the incumbent Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf stands without opposition at this time.

Elaine Brown May Win $3.5 Million In Civil Assault Verdict vs Oakland, But Desley Brooks Was Right
Elaine Brown May Win $3.5 Million In Civil Assault Verdict vs Oakland, But Desley Brooks Was Right The sad tale of former Oakland Black Panther Party member Elaine Brown and Oakland District Six City Councilmember Desley Brooks has its latest chapter in the news that Brown wins (at least for now, because I'd be surprised if the City didn't file an appeal). But the rumored fight that happened in the Everett and Jones bathroom on October 30th 2015 was an example of how the professional can quickly get personal in Oakland. Brown had an affordable housing development project that sought city funding, yet was stalled. It was because Brooks wanted to see a development pro-forms, which is a profit and loss forecast that is easy to do. Well, Brown reportedly did not like that. Whatever really happened it led to no criminal charges filed against Brooks. The case verdict is civil. What is clear is that taxpayer dollars are being used over an issue that could be solved if both Brooks and Brown just apologized and hugged it out. Indeed, someone needs to bring them together in a mature way, and because we have a city system that encourages immature behavior: you don't like someone, so there's all kinds of ways to make false claims and then get a group of people to back them. Take the Ethics Commission, as one example. Someone will want to pay staff time for this crap. Where's the mature leader who gets them both together and solves this? Hello? Mayor Schaaf? It's your time. PLEASE INVEST IN ZENNIE62MEDIA VIA PAYPALHERE: http://ift.tt/2u7j8De

With Rod Dibble At The Piano The Alley Oakland's Susan Esposito Sings The Song "Lush Life"
With Rod Dibble At The Piano The Alley Oakland's Susan Esposito Gives Best Singing Performance Ever Rod Dibble passed away this week, and so in remembrance of this long time Oakland living landmark, I, Zennie Abraham, am producing a retrospective playlist of videos from my Zennie62 on YouTube channel. This one is of The Alley regular Susan Esposito, and belting out her rendition of the song "Lush Life" on March 16th, 2012. If you want to follow along, and maybe even visit The Alley at 3325 Grand Avenue in Oakland, and try your voice (and maybe meet Susan and trade notes), here's the lyrics to the song: used to visit all the very gay places Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get the feel of life From jazz and cocktails The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingué traces That used to be there you could see where They'd been washed away By too many through the day Twelve o'clocktails Then you came along with your siren's song To tempt me to madness I thought for a while that your pointed smile Was tinged with the sadness Of a great love for me Ah yes I was wrong Again I was wrong Life is lonely again And only last year Everything seemed so assured Now life is awful again And the thoughtful of heart Could only be a bore A week in paris will ease the bite of it All I care is to smile in spite of it I'll forget you I will And yet you are still Burning inside my brain Romance is mush Stifling those who strive I'll live a lush Life in some small dive And there I'll be While I rot with the rest Of those whose lives are lonely too by Billy Strayhorn PLEASE INVEST IN ZENNIE62MEDIA VIA PAYPALHERE: http://ift.tt/2u7j8De

Former Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Speaks At First Oakland Police Commission Meeting
Jean Quan, Former Oakland Mayor, Speaks At First Oakland Police Commission Meeting Is Jean Quan, who lost her re-election bid to current Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, considering another run for the top spot? She's not denied the idea, but some compare the current Mayor to Quan and prefer Mayor Schaaf over her, today. Jean's main problem centered around Occupy Oakland, and the overall perception that she never had a handle on how to run the City. Still, the giant affordable housing problem, not in existence when Quan was running Oakland, could tilt the political scales more in her favor than before. Stay tuned.

Las Vegas Stadium Authority Meeting Points To Cover-Up Of NFL Oakland Raiders Problems
Las Vegas Stadium Authority Meeting Points To Cover-Up Of Oakland Raiders Problems The Las Vegas Stadium Authority did a great job in putting a positive face forward at today's meeting at UNLV. But the act was just that. The problems were revealed by Oakland Raiders President Marc Badain himself when he thanked Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak and others for "lighting a fire under" his ass (as he put it) and moving the stadium planning process along. That's very unusual that a government pushes a developer, but that's what was revealed to be the case by Badain. Have the Raiders lost excitement for their Las Vegas NFL Stadium Project? Then, there was the complete lack of discussion of hotel stadium tax revenues for November - we have had the October numbers for a few weeks now. Generally, we get the tax revenue numbers from the previous month by this time - not so, today. Could it be that November stadium tax revenue numbers are worse than October's? And then there's the Community Benefits issue - a lot of glad-handing but no clear idea of how long it's going to take to get the deal done in that case. There are more problems, but they were not brought up in a meeting that was dressed up to look like a love fest. All the better to mask the impending doom of bad news that is upon them. Stay tuned.
