Did Molly Maybrun Oakland’s Howard Terminal Project Manager, Leave Or Is On As Consultant? Does Mayor Thao’s still have her as Point Person?
Molly Maybrun has served as the Howard Terminal Ballpark Project Manager since March of 2019. For that time, she’s proudly put that she held that title and worked for the City of Oakland in her Linkedin Page Profile; now, it simply reads that she’s a Real Estate Development Executive, with no association to anyone.
But, her City of Oakland experience reads that she’s still working with the City, even as Linkedin refers to her in the past-tense. My hypothesis is that she’s still on as a consultant. But all of this is clearly related to the A’s focus on moving to Las Vegas. It also points to a possible lowering of focus on the task of redeveloping Oakland’s Waterfront. And she may be a casualty of Oakland’s expected large budget deficit, as well.
Whatever the case, it’s a sad end to the Howard Terminal Project as one that has the high-priority designation of the City of Oakland. Which begs the question: what would happen if the A’s turned around and elected to try and stay in Oakland? Can the City of Oakland afford the effort?
Well, if the City of Oakland actually started using tax increment financing, the answer would be a giant “YES”.
Stay tuned.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a search for YouTube video under “Oakland News” then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
