REBUTTAL TO OFFICE OF THE MAYOR, CITY ADMINISTRATOR,  HUMAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT [STAFF CONTACT KATHY HICKS] REGARDING THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST  20-6010 AND CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION  88208 CMS , APPROVING $1,150,000.00 TO A ROGUE ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS "OAKLAND PROMISE " WITHOUT THE VERIFICATION OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF THIS IDENTIFICATION OF "OAKLAND PROMISE " WHOSE CEO IS MIA BONTA OF THE ROGUE "OAKLAND PROMISE " AND WHO IS THE SIGNATURE RECEIPIENT AND GRANTEE  OF $1,150,000.00 APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION  88208 CMS , WITHOUT  VERIFICATION  OF THIS ROGUE  "OAKLAND PROMISE " LEGAL STATUS  AS A 501(c)3 nonprofit tax-exempt public benefit corporation.. THIS CLEARLY IS AN ILLEGAL AND FRAUDULENT  TRANSACTION!

Please be advised the document you provided in the California Secretary of State's Office and the Employer Identification Number  54-2103707 is that of EAST BAY COLLEGE FUND [EBCF].

On June 27, 2019, EBCF, Amended and Restated their Articles of Incorporation from 2003 and changed the organizational name to OAKLAND PROMISE as noted in the Whereas Clause of the City Council Resolution #88208 CMS approving the $1,150,000.00 to OAKLAND PROMISE. 

This OAKLAND PROMISE is not the same OAKLAND PROMISE as identified in the Grant Packet of 2019-2021 rather is the rogue OAKLAND PROMISE  without any verification of the organizations LEGAL STATUS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit tax-exempt  public benefit corporation. 

Further,  the document  reveals that this rogue OAKLAND PROMISE, whose CEO, Mia Bonta, the wife of California  Assemblymember Ron Bonta is the recipient and the grantee of the $1,150,000.00 approved by Resolution  88208.  An additional $500,000.00 was also approved to this rogue OAKLAND PROMISE without any verification of the organization's LEGAL STATUS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit tax-exempt public benefit corporation.   The City Council authorized these funds under Resolution  87761CMS at the same meeting  when they  authorized Resolution 88208 CMS. 

It should be further noted that on August 27, 2019 , CEO, Mia Bonta filed a Fictitious Business Name  in the Alameda County Clerk-Recorders Office as your documents reveals. This is incongruent  with the above Resolution s.  How can EBCF do a name change  to OAKLAND PROMISE  and  OAKLAND PROMISE as reflected in the Alameda County Clerk-Recorders Office do a  Fictitious Business Name [DBA] EAST BAY COLLEGE FUND. 

Additionally, neither OAKLAND PROMISE is represented  on GUIDESTAR'S website the platform for ALL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
