Citizens’ School Facilities Bond Oversight Committee -  
OUSD 2025 Facilities Master Plan Update - Facilities  
Planning and Management (2/10/2025)  
Attachments:  
Pranita Ranbhise, Director, Facilities Planning and Management, gave an  
update on the 2025 Facilities Master Plan Initiative.  
Director Ranbhise initiated her presentation by outlining the purpose of this  
effort. She explained that the goal is to develop a roadmap to support:  
1. Modernizations and improvements, addressing aging infrastructure and  
improving deficient buildings in terms of meeting current Americans with  
Disabilities Act (ADA), seismic and indoor quality environmental standards;  
2. Alignment of physical spaces and program, such as, constructing or  
modifying buildings based on demographic enrolment projections, pedagogy,  
program and community needs; and  
3. Optimization of Operations: investing in facilities to improve operations,  
such as food systems, energy efficiency and transportation.  
To achieve these goals, staff plans to:  
- Review previous OUSD Facility Master Plans, enrollment projections  
- Integrate planning process with ongoing district initiatives  
- Review building use and academic program distribution across the district  
- Comprehensively engage with OUSD stakeholders & communities  
- Conduct site assessments for  
- Programmatic capacities  
- Facility condition assessments (FCA) : asset conditions/remaining useful  
life (roof, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), electrical,  
plumbing)  
- Educational Adequacy (EA): how each campus supports next generation  
teaching-learning  
- Joyful schools: improvements needed to align with Joyful schools’ initiative  
- Living Schoolyards: evaluate how outdoor spaces support Living  
Schoolyards’ Initiative  
The district is required to do a master plan every five years. OUSD contracted  
with the firm, Perkins Eastman, to help update the Facilities Master Plan.  
Work began in November of 2024 and is expected to be completed in the fall  
of 2025.  
Director Ranbhise provided a list of different types of assessments being  
conducted. As of January 7, 2025, the following had been completed:  
- Facility Condition Assessments (10 schools);  
- Educational Adequacy (22 schools);  
- Capacity verification & evaluation (22 schools);  
- Joyful School (22 schools) and Living Schoolyards (10 schools).  
These site assessments will continue through March 2025. Upcoming  
activities include continued evaluation of assessment findings, enrollment  
trends, a stakeholder engagement process, and a visioning session with  
Senior Leadership. Director Ranbhise noted that quarterly updates will be  
available.  
Discussion - Members Clark, Jones III, Dawson, Secretary Gonzales, Vice  
Chairperson Park, Chairperson Butler.  
Director Ranbhise and David Colbert, Director Facilities Planning and  
Management, and Kenya Chatman, Executive Director, Facilities Planning  
and Management, provided additional comments to BJY Committee  
Members' comments and questions.  
BJY Committee Members asked what has changed since 2020? Is an equity  
lens applied?  
Facilities Staff Response - The 2025 Facilities Master Plan Initiative will be  
more comprehensive and it will integrate Districtwide policy initiatives such as  
those related to energy efficiency, climate change, Joyful and Living  
Schoolyards.  
- Facilities Staff will include a copy of the survey in the next update given the  
number of questions raised or comments made regarding the survey tool  
itself. Community kick-off is planned for March 2025, but no specific date  
has been set.  
In response to the question from the BJY Committee, “how is data  
collected?” Director Ranbhise explained that facilities are surveyed at three  
levels, using qualitative and quantitative data. Facilities Staff uses 150  
questions, as determined by subject matter experts but also interviews staff  
present at site.  
Questions from Committee Members (responses pending from Facilities  
Staff):  
- How is staff input incorporated?  
- Can there be a survey sent to all teachers/staff/custodians more  
systematically?  
- Is there a tool being used to make sure that each teacher has the  
opportunity to provide input?  
- Should there be input from all staff including custodians?  
- Will parents and students also be surveyed?  
- What is the order of doing the survey? It was stated that the survey was  
being conducted geographically starting in central Oakland.  
- Where will the Survey be distributed next? How will all 100+ District Schools  
be done by March 2025?

Report - 2023-2024 - Annual and Five-year Developer Fee  
Report - Facilities Planning and Management (2/10/2025)  
Attachments:  
Michael Ezeh, Director, Program Accounting, presented the Fiscal Year (FY)  
2023-2024 Annual Developer Fee Report and Five-Year Developer Report.  
Director Ezeh explained that to meet the requirements of Government Code  
Sections 66001(d)(1) and 66006(b) a local agency that imposes and collects  
fees in connection with the approval of a development project should within  
180 days after the last day of each fiscal year make available public  
information on the fees for the fiscal year as well as for the fifth year following  
the first deposit into the developer fee fund and every five years thereafter.  
His report is meant to respond to this requirement.  
Additionally, it was noted that for several years the district had used  
developer fees to meet programmatic needs instead of using the funds for  
facilities as required. This was remedied through the intervention of  
Committee Member Andrea Dawson several years ago. The OUSD board  
recognized its importance; hence this report must always come to this  
committee to ensure compliance. Chair Andrew Butler thanked staff for the  
report and Ms. Dawson for her diligence.  
Discussion: Members Dawson, Secretary Gonzales, Vice Chairperson Park,  
Chairperson Butler  
Questions from Committee Members, responses pending:  
- It was noted that the table dated 6/30/2024 on page 5 of the FY 2023-2024  
Annual Developer Fee Report and Five-Year Developer Report, lists  
Adjustments that impact balances for FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023.  
- Committee Member asked, “What does "Adjustments" mean or include?  
Director Ezeh stated he would investigate and get back to the Committee at  
a future BJY Committee Meeting.  
- In response to the question, “how are Fund 25 funds prioritized? Staff stated  
they will respond at a future BJY Committee Meeting.

Oversight Committee - Report - 1025 2nd Avenue and Central  
Administrative Center at Cole Campus - Facilities Planning and  
Management  
A Verbal Report to the Measures B, J, and Y Independent Citizens’  
School Facilities Bond Oversight Committee by the Chief Systems and  
Services, or Designee, on the status of the following District Sites:  
·
·
1025 2nd Avenue, and  
Central Administrative Center at Cole Campus  
Pranita Ranbhise, Director, Facilities Planning and Management, and David  
Colbert, Director, Facilities Planning and Management gave Verbal Reports  
on 1025 2nd Avenue, and Central Administrative Center at Cole Campus  
- 1025 2nd Avenue: Director Ranbhise stated that OUSD had issued a  
Request for Quote (RFQ) to examine 10 properties. Phase 1 is looking at  
three properties which includes1025 Second Avenue. The intent is to look for  
potential of leasing or other development, and evaluating fiscal impacts to the  
district in a series of meetings, which include with the Board - first 2 by 2’s  
and then open session with community as well as a study session; all  
beginning in March 2025. Director Ranbhise suggested that we look for  
progress. Facilities Staff will present its proposals on these properties to the  
Board in the first week in April 2025.  
- Central Administrative Center at Cole Campus. Director Colbert, provided an  
overview of the status of the facility. Director Colbert agreed to come back  
and respond if time was limited and/or he was unable to complete his  
responses before we adjourned.  
Directors, Colber, Ranbhise and Kenya Chatman, Executive Director,  
Facilities Planning and Management, and Ellen Clements, Consultant,  
Facilities Planning and Management responded to BJY Committee Members  
comments and questions.  
Discussion - Members Dawson, Vice Chairperson Park, Chairperson Butler,  
To the questions: “Why was a two-story building built when we are only going  
to use one floor and what factors went into that decision?” Executive Director  
Chatman, responded by laying out the Board’s rationale on only building out  
the second floor with the idea that it would leave room to build out board  
meeting space at a later time on the first floor. Member Dawson elaborated  
saying that it is much easier to go ahead and build a two-story building than  
going back and getting approval for a one-story; therefore, the compromise  
meant continued interim use of space at La Escuelita for the board.  
BJY Committee Member question: Given that the 1st floor space is a  
brand-new space that is now also vacant, will this space be added to the  
Asset Management Study that currently includes 10 vacant District  
properties?Facilities Staff Response - No, but the scope of the work could be  
expanded to include it in the Asset Management Study, as well.  
Additionally, Facilities Staff explained that the removal of basketball courts,  
an extra cost proposed, was not approved by the board.  
Questions from Committee Members, pending a response:  
- Why can’t we lease first floor to outside agency to raise revenue to district?  
- Why is Division of State Architect (DSA) approval needed to lease first floor  
when the building structure has already been approved?  
Public Comment - 1. Ginale Harris 2. Assata Olugala  
Public comments included concerns of the use of $50 million+ in bond  
dollars to build a new administrative center at Cole Street and how that  
decision has led to mistrust of OUSD’s decision-making.
