The anticipated vote on a 10-year-lease deal between the Oakland Athletics and the Coliseum authority was canceled Friday when representatives from the city of Oakland failed to show up for the meeting.

Four members of the eight-member Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority - which operates O.co Coliseum - apparently boycotted the meeting, sources said. Without their participation, there was no quorum and a vote could not be taken.

The four missing members included two City Council members who sit on the coliseum board: Rebecca Kaplan and Larry Reid. The other two were Aaron Goodwin and Yui Hay Lee, both appointees of the city of Oakland.

Kaplan's spokesman, Jason Overman, said the councilwoman had no comment about missing the meeting. Kaplan is running for mayor. Reid could not be reached for comment.

Sources close to the negotiations said the Oakland City Council met in closed session Wednesday and voted to bar Kaplan and Reid from attending Friday's meeting.

Other members of the Coliseum authority were livid.

"I'm shocked and upset and very disturbed," said authority chair, Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, who attended Friday's meeting. "We feel like we're hampered from doing our business because the city has taken this position. At this stage, it's just shocking."

'Still negotiating'

The current lease expires in about 18 months. The authority and the A's began negotiating a 10-year lease months ago.

On Wednesday, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig congratulated the city, county and A's for reaching an agreement.

But Oakland Mayor Jean Quan issued her own statement hours later on Wednesday, saying that no such deal had been struck.

"The A's have been an important part of the Oakland community and an inspiring Oakland team for decades," Quan said. "We are all working to make sure the A's stay here at home in Oakland. The JPA (Joint Powers Authority) has been negotiating with the team for months. As recently as last night, they received a new counteroffer from the team, which we have not yet had opportunity to review in depth. We are still negotiating, so were surprised by the announcement of an agreement. We plan to meet tomorrow, continue negotiations, and hope there will be an agreement soon."

Quan could not be reached for comment Friday. But she issued a statement saying that city officials had repeatedly asked the Coliseum authority to reschedule Friday's meeting.

Miley said that if Oakland officials have a problem with the lease proposal, they should address that when the lease comes before the council.

Any lease deal must be approved not only by the Coliseum authority but also by the Oakland City Council and Alameda Board of Supervisors.

Anger over boycott

Chris Dobbins, a member of the authority who also attended Friday's meeting, was also upset about the boycott.

"We were prepared to vote this morning, and the city didn't show up. ... Our concern is that Oakland can't get its act together, or a least it's the appearance it can't get its act together," said Dobbins, an Oakland school board member and head of a community group called Save Oakland Sports.

Terms of the proposed lease are not yet public, but Miley said the deal offers ample protections for the city and county, as well as the A's and Raiders, who share the Coliseum with the Athletics.
