Public Power Week is a national, annual event that runs from Sunday October 3rd to Saturday October 9th. The City of Alameda’s municipally-owned utility, Alameda Municipal Power (AMP), has a number of events planned to celebrate. AMP is also celebrating Energy Awareness Month throughout the month of October. As it was in the weeks before the vote on Measure B, in February of this year, Alameda residents have been besieged recently with calls from telephone pollsters.

Alameda City Councilmember Lena Tam has apparently filed a claim with the City of Alameda to have the City reimburse her for legal fees incurred in her defense of the allegations of misconduct against her.

Documents obtained by Action Alameda News indicate that Alameda City Councilmember Lena Tam has asked the City of Alameda to reimburse her for legal fees she incurred defending herself against allegations of official misconduct.
