one-time revenue package with the sale of the city's half of the coliseum property, a sale that has yet to take place. and as a result, city finance officials say that could impact the city's credit rating. i'm very concerned about our bond being reduced. the other proposal doesn't rely on the coliseum. property sale, but that means less revenue for the city and big service cuts, including reducing the number of police officers by about 100. it is going to have a major impact. >> my ability to cover patrol ships and 2 just provide basic response services to the citizens of oakland city council members are now offering alternate proposals. >> but city councilmember treva reid also took the opportunity to chip away at mayor thao. >> this budget. >> was ready for our review on
