>> we have been following the story and have a look at what happened in today's meeting. >> i want to say for the a's, this is a good deal. we have been negotiating in good faith. >> reporter: the oakland city council put their best foot forward as six members voted yes to a nonbinding term sheet that outlines plans for a new ballpark at howard terminal. oakland made a major concession, in that the city offered to take responsibility for $352 million in off-site transportation infrastructure, but the a's were blunt. they did not like it. >> the current term sheet as it is constructed and with its current language, is not a business partnership that works for us. >> if the a's are not happy with what was produced today and are still talking about leaving after the city has bent over backwards, i don't know where we go from here after doing somersaults.

after receiving insults. after being disrespected. >> reporter: councilmember carroll fife abstained. the site is in her district. councilmember noel gallo was the only no vote, saying the stadium should stay at the old coliseum site. >> we are looking for a waterfront ballpark, but in las vegas there ain't no waterfront. >> reporter: some of the anger was reflected in public comments. >> the a's are like an abusive boyfriend and you need to stand up to them. >> this is a billionaire looting the city. put this on the ballot, it will lose. >> reporter: others held on to hope that the a's would somehow stay for jobs and for prestige. >> they are very much of the oakland identity. >> we are unified in keeping the a's rooted in oakland in a way that protects our community. >> reporter: next up, the city would approve a final version of the environmental impact report in october, if the a's

stay at the table. despite today's vote, they could pull the plug at any time. i am leslie brinkley, abc7 news. >> in a statement, the east oakland stadium alliance said that they applaud the city council for pushing back. writing, while the current nonbinding agreement is a better deal for taxpayers and residents than the draft, it still does not adequately protect the city, residents, and workers. it will continue to encourage a no vote on any agreement that refuses to take the needs of the entire oakland community into account, and quote. the vote came at the same time the first pitch was made at today's game at the coliseum. outside, fans expressed a desire for a deal to get done. the sense of uncertainty was palpable. >> people out here really support the a's. we really want to see a resolution that is positive for the community and the a's at the same time. >> they should stay here.

there is money here. let's finance it and get a deal done. >> there is a lot of history, family ties, pictures, a lot of stuff and memories here and i would hate to see that end. >> from what i heard, vegas is offering a lot more money. i'm going to assume that they are going to go. >> the looming threat of a move to las vegas is real among these fans. it should be. a's officials plan to visit the area again tomorrow. >> so what does all this mean? larry beil joins us with his perspective. >> we spoke with a's president dave kaval moments ago. both are disappointed that the city did not vote on the team proposal, but they are not walking away from the negotiating table. >> we were disappointed that the city did not actually vote on our proposal or one that we agreed with today. they did have a 6-1 positive vote, but it was on a proposal

we actually only saw today. a lot of the language and amendments are things we did not see, so we will take time and understand what all that means and how it impacts our project. how it relates to our original proposal that we want voted on and we want to be thoughtful about analyzing that right now. from our perspective, we want this project to happen, but we want a framework that they understand and we understand and make sense moving forward. >> all right, where does that leave us and what is your take on everything that took place today? >> basically we have a city council not even unanimously support the city deal and then ignore the a's proposition. so we have two different deals. can they come together? it remains to be seen. the second thing, we have deals, but also a timeline. you were speaking with the a's and they made it very clear that this is not just about the deal but whether or not oakland can get it done or does

it kick the can down the road and maybe this and maybe that for another year or so? in the meantime, they will be looking elsewhere. >> well, dave kaval mentions repeatedly that the lease is up in 2024 and we have got to get going. the timeline, the timeline. it is something of an artificial timeline, because they could easily go to the joint powe can you extend our lease two years? we want to stay. >> and the odds are, they are going to get it. so they don't have to go anywhere. there is no push. on the other hand, they can take their time and decide what it is they want to do next. i thought one of the biggest things that change today or in the arena now is something the public should be, if not concerned, at least aware of, and that was the city of oakland committed $352 million of infrastructure money for this deal and that is federal money that will be coming to the area, to the port. state money that will be going to the port and other projects

and local money. in effect, we are all in this deal now and that is big. >> right. and rebecca kaplan, the vice mayor, came up with this concept. the money is there. up until, let's say, five days ago, there was not a real push to take that infrastructure money that the government says is available to use for this project. so to your point, everyone in oakland who is affected by this would say wait a second, do i want it used for this work for that? >> right, do i want the potholes fixed or do i want the ballpark? where is it going? that is a question that is now out there. with this, both sides have a way out. the city council and mayor voted yes, so they can say we did our part. the a's are taking that and saying, you did not do our pl d e a's have the next move. whether they exercise that

today, they are not, because they are still reviewing that. it's bad politics walk out and slam the door. you say thank you very much and go about whatever your next move will be. >> and the commissioner of baseball a few minutes ago released a statement that said we will immediately be in conversations with the a's to chart a path forward. >> you have to talk to the a's, the county, the city council, the city administrator. >> nobody said it will be easy. >> it is all over. >> just to give the overall sentiment from some of the councilmembers, they took the a's to task today. they scolded dave kaval several times, including one councilmember who said he would vote yes, but kind of wanted to throw up afterwards. >> that is really encouraging. >> so, shovel in the ground soon, dan. to be continued. back to you. >> a lot more to talk about. right now we will move on
