Oakland's vice mayor may be fined next week $19,000 for possible government ethics violations, according to the city's Public Ethics Commission.
Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan is facing possible fines totaling $10,500 for failing to report on city forms her partial ownership of a condominium near Estuary Park in Oakland.
"The investigation found also that Councilmember Kaplan's violations in this matter, though serious, were unintentional, and not done with an intent to enrich herself," documents filed by ethics officials said."At one point, Councilmember Kaplan even voted against her own economic interest by declining to approve an architectural vendor for the project until she had assurance that the bidding process had been fair to all vendors.
Kaplan voted in 2016, along with seven other city councilmembers, to authorize the city administrator to allocate and appropriate $27.5 million for several projects in Oakland, a resolution on the matter and ethics officials said. "Her understanding was that she was voting to move along a project that had already been approved by voters, she did not give much thought to the potential impact of her votes on the value of her property," ethics staff wrote in a memo on the allegations.
