Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Alameda County, California public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.

County-AHS lease renewal and efficiency study
A 30-year, $1-a-year lease renewal is being fast-tracked to qualify for a dental clinic grant, and the long-promised efficiency study RFP is finally moving toward award — Supervisors Miley and Haubert pressed hard on the timeline, hoping for results by spring 2027.
Pedestrian and bike safety funding
A $100,000 state traffic-safety grant went to Public Health for West Oakland, but Supervisor Miley wants similar funding and crash data for unincorporated communities where pedestrian and bike injuries have occurred.
