The objective of this project was to digitally map the boundaries of Audubon California's Important Bird Areas (IBA). Existing Important Bird Areas identify critical terrestrial and inland water habitats for avifauna, in particular, habitat that supports rare, threatened or endangered birds and/or exceptionally large congregations of shorebirds and/or waterfowl. The digitization of Important Bird Areas represents an important first step in conservation planning of these critical habitats using GIS. As of October 2007, a draft layer of all 148 Important Bird Areas in California was completed. Currently, a review is in progress with Audubon Chapters and local experts, with a final version completed by Nov. 1, 2008. The final map and data will be released to the public in November, 2008.

The Oakland Police Department provides crime data to the public through the City of Oakland’s Crime Watch web site. This site presents the data in a geographic format, which allows users of the information to produce maps and/or reports.

The file that you are about to electronically download, copy, or otherwise retrieve by other means is a tabular representation of the same data without maps or reporting capabilities. Be advised that the exact address of each crime has been substituted with the block address to protect the privacy of the victim.

The name of each officer and/or staff member of the City of Oakland with whom a lobbyist made a contact. Contacts of public officials are disclosed by lobbyists registered with the Public Ethics Commission on a quarterly basis in compliance with the registered Lobbyist Act. This dataset is updated weekly.

The Conservation Lands Network is the make-up of the types, amount and distribution of habitats that comprise the most essential lands needed to sustain the biodiversity of the San Francisco Bay Area.

REQUESTID = The service request number. This should be shown as an integer without decimals. 5-digit REQUESTIDs were imported from the Recycling Hotline’s prior tracking system when they switched to the same system as the Oakland Call Center in August 2012. All others are 6 digits.

DATETIMEINIT = The Date that the request was initiated.

SOURCE = Indicates if the request was received via SeeClickFix, via the Report A Problem website at www.oaklandpw.com, or via (Phone or Email).

DESCRIPTION = Type of issue. Most of these are self-explanatory. Notes: “test template” and “This is a test subject. Ignore this ticket.” were for testing/training purposes only. Descriptions starting with “Business” “City Services” “CityBldg” (no space) “Events” “Misc” are/were used by the Recycling Hotline “TE” means “Traffic Engineering”

REQCATEGORY = Request Category

REQADDRESS = Request Address An address of ZZ indicates that the address was not recorded, usually this is for general inquiries to the Recycling Hotline.

STATUS = The status as of date of upload. Pending: Request received for review OPEN: Request assigned to work unit WOCREATE: Work Order created for work to be done (not all work units use this status, so Open service requests may also have work orders created for work to be done) CLOSED: Request is resolved REFERRED: Oakland Call Center received the request and forwarded it to another entity (see REFERREDTO) UNFUNDED: Request is for an service that the City is not funded to provide CANCEL: Request was canceled, generally because it was created erroneously, it was used for testing/training, or it is a request that was received that duplicated an existing unresolved request

DATETIMECLOSED = The Date that the request was closed

SRX, SRY= Coordinates of the issue. Note that this is in NAD_1983_StatePlane_California_III_FIPS_0403_Feet, not latitude/longitude.

REFERREDTO = If the status is Referred, this shows who it was referred to.

COUNCILDISTRICT = City Council District of the REQADDRESS.

BEAT = Police Beat of the REQADDRESS (see http://mapgis.oaklandnet.com/PoliceDistricts/ for a map of police beats)
