Hi there, and welcome to Oakland Side 510.

I'm Tasneem Raja, Editor-in-Chief of the Oakland Side, Oakland's independent nonprofit newsroom.

In today's episode, we'll start with the week's headlines, including the Oakland Police Department escaping from federal oversight after 23 years, a close look at Mayor Barbara Lee's record, why the city still hasn't signed its contract with Flock Safety, frustrated AC Transit riders, and a 30-foot Katrina that just arrived in Fruitvale.

After that, City Hall reporter Eli Wolfe will join me to talk about a scary accident that happened at Temescal Pool earlier this month and why the city has no pool technicians on staff, even though it has the money to hire them.
