This is a statement, not a request.

It is a request. Stop misleading Alamedans by depicting Alameda as a lawful city with functional law enforcement. We don't have any functional law enforcement here, so it's better to just openly announce to the entire world that Alameda is in complete anarchy. We don't have any effective laws here. Let's make it official so people aren't mislead. Get rid of the police department, it doesn't do anything anyway

This issue was recategorized from City Council - Agendas and Minutes to Police Services.

City Clerk's Office 1 assigned this issue to Florence Lopez

Completely erase all of Alameda city's local ordinances, shut down the police department, code compliance, etc. None of it serves any purpose anyway. It's like having a car with no gas. It's never going to run anyway. You may as well get rid of the car.

Then once you've done that, go ahead and erect a massive sign, maybe a couple positioned at all of the entry points to Alameda (e.g. the bridges and the tube) so that people entering Alameda can't miss it. The sign will say "This is Alameda, we don't have ANY laws or law enforcement here whatsoever, so NO laws apply here, whether they're federal, state laws or local county ordinances. None of that applies here. This is Alameda, a city of pure anarchy"

This way people will know what to expect when they arrive in Alameda. They won't be mislead by the presence of a police department or local ordinances into thinking they're entering a lawful city with functional law enforcement. Send them a clear message so that they don't have unrealistic expectations (e.g. that laws are enforced or that the Alameda city government somehow gives a c.r.a.p about them) coming into Alameda. People deserve to know what to expect when they arrive here, and that's total anarchy and zero help from the government in abating crimes and other nuisances.

As the Clerk stated this is not a request but a statement. Please contact our office at 510-337-8340 if you'd like to discuss further.
