2026-09-22 - City Council

00:01. I love it. I've been a season

00:05ticket holder for 17 years. My

00:07kids grew up here, so I mean,

00:10this is a family thing, a

00:11culture thing. I mean, and as

00:13you can see, hey, it's just one

00:16big happy family. No word

00:18because I'm sick right now. This

00:20is the best day for LA. Back to

00:22back. Best day of my life. Yeah

00:27Go shop for a Dodger. Yamamoto

00:30is the goat. There's no beating

00:32that dude. Yama goat. Shout out

00:34him as you can see, I'm rocking

00:36the Jackie Robinson of the

00:39historical piece. I mean, just

00:40from them coming over from New

00:42York to being here in Los

00:43Angeles, a crazy, nice,

00:46organized organization. Man, I

00:47love the blue and white. And

00:49I've been coming here since I

00:51was a little kid. So I'm 56.

00:52That's a long time of Dodger

00:54history. It's a family thing,

00:57right? Like my grandpa on my

00:59dad's side. He worked with the

01:01team for a couple years back in

01:02the 70s. My dad born and raised

01:03here. He just passed down the

01:05fandom to me. Like I remember

01:06being a kid. Him telling me

01:07about Kirk Gibson's walk off.

01:09Like I remember coming to games

01:11back in the, like, 2000, 20

01:12tens. Like Matt Kemp was my guy

01:14. Andre Ethier was my guy. Uh,

01:16this man right here, my favorite

01:18player of all time. Thank you.

01:22For 18 years. Thank you for

01:25showing up and watching us play

01:26for the last 18 years. Thank you

01:30for being here for me and my

01:32family and supporting us. And

01:35thank you for all you guys.

01:37Thank you. My teammates. You

01:40guys are the best in the world.

01:42It's just like a lifelong thing

01:44for me. Um, it just feels like

01:46it's been years in the making,

01:48this greatness. This is a

01:49dynasty now. It's a family

01:51thing, I love it. I feel like

01:52we're winning for all my past

01:53generations, and they can see

01:54more Dodgers championships.

01:55That's what I'm hoping for.

01:58Everybody's been asking

01:59questions about a dynasty. How

02:04about three and six years? How

02:07about a back to back? Yes. Three

02:14peat would be pretty nice to see

02:17here in Los Angeles. I'm ready

02:19to get another ring. Job in

02:262024. Done job in 2025. Done job

02:34in 2026. Starts now

03:41.

03:41In the city of LA, you'll find

03:43that every neighborhood has a

03:45history rich in tradition, hard

03:47work, and fun. As we celebrate

03:50La Fecha de foundation de Los

03:53Angeles, you'll see that it's

03:54the beautiful diversity of Los

03:57Angeles that brings us closer

03:59together. Whether you're

04:01visiting for the first time or

04:02you've lived here your entire

04:04life, there's always another

04:05side of Los Angeles to explore.

04:08Welcome to LA. Bienvenidos a el

04:11pueblo

04:37.

04:37Did you know September 4th, 1781

04:41is the birth date of Los Angeles

04:43as Angelenos celebrate 245

04:46years, it's the roots of Los

04:48Angeles, which began to grow

04:49right here in El Pueblo that

04:51have made the city a place of

04:52growth and inspiring. The next

04:55generation. The Happy Pappy

04:57Foundation is doing just that by

04:59offering free haircuts to

05:00children in underserved

05:02communities, giving each child a

05:04boost of confidence and helping

05:06them make a great first

05:08impression on their first day of

05:09school. The nonprofit aims to

05:12make big changes by offering

05:13personal support, mental health

05:15resources and art to children in

05:17underserved communities. Hello

05:20Welcome to the birthplace of the

05:21City of Los Angeles, El Pueblo

05:22de Los Angeles Historical

05:24Monument, Olvera Street.

05:37I'm standing in the plaza and it

05:38has been used for many things,

05:39including horse racing, cattle

05:41trading, farmer's market, and

05:43bull and bear fights have

05:44actually occurred in this plaza.

05:46We also celebrated the World Cup

05:48here, and we will be celebrating

05:51our third Olympics in the city

05:52of Los Angeles. Standing in

05:55front of the Pico House, the

05:58first three story structure

05:59built in southern California, it

06:00was built and opened in 1870.

06:02The Pico House was a very fancy

06:04place to be at. It had indoor

06:06plumbing and gas lighting. The

06:08front of it was built in an

06:10Italian style, but it had a

06:11French cafe in the bottom. This

06:16crosses to commemorate the

06:18opening of Olvera Street. It

06:20opened on the day before Easter

06:23Sunday in 1930, a year after the

06:25Great Depression. Christine

06:27Sterling, who we call the mother

06:29of Olvera Street, came up with

06:31the idea of creating a Mexican

06:33village where arts and crafts

06:35and music and dance. Olvera

06:39Street was originally called

06:41Wine Street. You're looking at

06:43the oldest grapevine in the

06:44state of California, planted in

06:481818 by Spanish missionaries,

06:49and it still produces grapes. I

06:53was standing in front of the

06:56Avila Adobe, built in 1818. The

06:59oldest house in the city of Los

07:01Angeles. People would come in

07:02from up to 100 miles away. They

07:03would spend 3 or 4 days, they'd

07:06make trades with cattle and

07:07horses and generally almost

07:09nightly, they'd all sit down to

07:10a meal, dancing and music. The

07:17Plaza Historical Park, we have

07:20eight free museums. There are a

07:21number of places to eat. It's

07:23also centered. If you want to

07:26travel anywhere in the city of

07:27LA, because Union Station is

07:28right across the street. Happy

07:37birthday, Los Angeles! 245 years

07:40old. I don't know about you, but

07:48when I look the best, I feel the

07:50best. And I perform the best.

07:52And these little humans, they're

07:53no different. We got celebrity

07:56barbers in the house. We got

07:59ushers, barber in the house.

07:59Okay? We got all types of folks

08:01in here that are showing up for

08:02these kids. We are giving

08:06backpacks gender affirming

08:08haircuts, food, raffles, prizes.

08:09But most importantly, we're

08:11getting these kids ready to go

08:13back to school feeling empowered

08:15, making sure these kids feel

08:16good. So they can actually

08:17aspire to do good in school. We

08:22take pride in what we do. Um,

08:24we're giving them a haircut. But

08:25that haircut, it goes a long

08:27ways. Some parents have to

08:30choose between paying an

08:31electric bill and taking 2 or 3

08:33kids to get a haircut. You know

08:34, growing up, my mother was a

08:36single mother of three children.

08:37She wasn't financially capable

08:39of all three of us getting fresh

08:40haircuts. So we know how

08:42important it is. I think that

08:44these children, it's important

08:45for them to go to school looking

08:46fresh. It's the first impression

08:47they're going to leave with

08:48their friends. And, um, I hope

08:50they're happy. I hope that it

08:52boosts up their confidence. We

08:59are the happy Pappy Foundation

09:02out of Encino, California. We

09:04serve the San Fernando Valley

09:05and the Los Angeles Greater

09:07Region. We're a black and queer

09:09fronted nonprofit, so we are the

09:11marginalized and working with

09:13the Latinx community. The black

09:15and Brown community, Bipoc folk

09:17, underserved communities that's

09:18at our heart what we want to do

09:21and meet them with art, mental

09:22health, food resources,

09:25everything. At the end, it's all

09:27about being the change that we

09:29want to see in the world. Oh

09:32yeah, I'm proud to be a host for

09:35this event and I think we have

09:37an obligation to show up for all

09:38of our kids. We're trying to

09:40make sure that we give all young

09:42people the very strongest and

09:43best starts, not just to their

09:46school year, but helping to

09:46support them with their needs. I

09:50think it's important because it

09:52builds trust between the people

09:55that live here and like the City

09:56council, with everything that's

09:57going on, there's a lot of trust

09:59issues. People don't want to

10:00come around and this lets

10:02everybody know that, hey, we're

10:03here for you. We hear you and we

10:05want to provide something for

10:06you, you know? So it goes a long

10:08ways. The beauty of various

10:14cultures is as much a part of

10:16LA's past as its future. Walking

10:18the streets of the Mexican

10:20marketplace in El Pueblo, you'll

10:22see just one of dozens of

10:23markets that share a rich

10:25history of art, food and culture

10:28. The Nisei Parade fills the

10:30streets of the historic Little

10:31Tokyo district, celebrating

10:34second generation Japanese

10:36Americans. It honors tradition

10:37and fosters community pride by

10:40showcasing dance, music,

10:42traditional displays and

10:43authentic Japanese food. The

10:45parade offers everyone an

10:47opportunity to celebrate and

10:49experience the rich, vibrant

10:50Japanese culture found

10:52throughout Los Angeles. The

11:00Nisei Parade is a celebration of

11:02the second generation American

11:03born Japanese. This area was

11:05highly populated back in the day

11:07by second generation, first

11:09generation, second generation

11:11Japanese, and we're here for

11:12that, my mother, she's 74 now,

11:16but she migrated from Japan,

11:17came here to the US, and then I

11:21came out. So I'm considered a

11:22Nisei second generation. I think

11:27it's great for the community. My

11:28wife is from Japan, so it means

11:31a lot to her. And I think it

11:33just brings everybody together.

11:34So it's really a fun event. If I

11:37come here always, I feel really

11:40Japan and you know, so many

11:42authentic Japanese food and a

11:44lot of, you know, culture. So

11:47that's why I feel so

11:48comfortable. I feel like I go

11:49back to Japan if I come here, it

11:51brings everybody a lot closer.

11:53And to have everyone see, like

11:56all of the culture that's in the

12:00city that they might not know

12:01about, you'll see a lot of this

12:03here in about a couple of hours

12:05. But we do a special thing

12:07called the Matoi. And Armando.

12:09We have a instrument group that

12:11plays drums, bells and flutes

12:13and also we will be twirling

12:15around this big, heavy thing

12:16that we use that they say that

12:19as far as I know, is when the

12:21firefighters were putting out

12:23fires, it would be something to

12:25motivate them to get their

12:26spirits going. It's like a very

12:30family friendly event, you know

12:33, just just one more thing to do

12:34here in LA. And it's, uh, yeah,

12:37it's fun. I know Japanese

12:43culture, dancing, singing, all

12:45the Japanese culture. You wanted

12:47to know you're going to see it.

13:03It's got everything that, like a

13:06pan of Japan wants. All right.

13:08So I think it's awesome. A lot

13:09of fun. Every year. Just

13:14something that I think is a good

13:15thing that they do. I want to

13:22start my own business. I have a

13:25bunch of great ideas and

13:28different steps, but I don't

13:29exactly know what I'm doing. I

13:33need some mentorship. We are at

13:37the Pio Pico Koreatown branch

13:39today. We're in the Koreatown

13:40Media Lab. So just like the

13:42Octavia Lab in the Central

13:45Library downtown, we have our

13:46own media lab here. Koreatown

13:48library. This is my first

13:50experience here. First, I had no

13:52idea they had this media lab.

13:54I'm so excited about the

13:57prospects of coming to the

13:58workshops in the coming weeks.

14:00I'm first thing after I leave

14:02here is I'm going to go look up

14:03the calendar and see what they

14:04have on offer. We're offering

14:09small business counseling

14:10sessions for our patrons. We

14:13partner with the organization

14:15called Pace, which is the

14:16Pacific Asian Consortium in

14:17Employment. They come by on the

14:19second Thursday of each month to

14:22offer one on one small business

14:23counseling sessions for our

14:24patrons. Each patron gets 30

14:27minutes of a free consultation

14:29where they can talk about

14:30starting or growing their small

14:32business idea. We serve everyone

14:38from startups to businesses in

14:40operation because the business

14:42in operation, as you mentioned,

14:44they have different types of

14:45challenges. They may have. They

14:46may need financing. They may

14:48need, you know, assistance with

14:49the permit, licensing, marketing

14:51. Our patrons who come to these

14:53sessions may be starting their

14:55business or trying to grow it.

14:57And that is really in today.

15:00It's really hard to find these

15:02services for free. They tend to

15:04be very expensive. Our

15:05counselors are able to talk to

15:08them one on one, as you know,

15:10see what is like what is the

15:13situation. Give them the

15:15guidance. And if they need

15:16additional help, we will

15:18continue working with them based

15:19on their needs. You know, we

15:21will continue one on one. So

15:23it's not one time here. We will

15:24continue working with them. I

15:31was just talking with, you know

15:35, talking with the staff, and

15:37they were telling me about all

15:38the different things that can be

15:40done here. And I can't believe

15:41it. It's like and the equipment

15:43is up to date. It's modern. I've

15:54firsthand witnessed a lot of

15:56patrons arrive. Um not only

15:59excited by the service, but when

16:01they enter the media lab,

16:02they're shocked to find out that

16:04they can work on posters for

16:05their small business. Here with

16:07our poster printer, they can

16:09make 3D prints. We just got a

16:11laser cutter so they can use

16:12that to make their business logo

16:13and print it out on anything

16:15they like. So I think a lot of

16:18patrons express gratitude for

16:19this service. Anyone can walk in

16:23our doors. They can have a

16:25conversation with us. They can

16:27have a one on one counseling and

16:29again, depending on the like,

16:31what is it? What the need is? Is

16:32it like an idea they want to

16:34develop or they are in business?

16:36They need other type of

16:37services. We first want to

16:40understand what is the need and

16:42then work with them one on one.

16:44I was like, it's a free program,

16:46how good can it be? It how good

16:48can it be? Was excellent. It

16:49really got me charged up. It was

16:52inspiring, encouraging. But we

16:53really actually got really good

16:55ideas and we just were given

16:57such great advice. And I don't

17:00know if I would have gotten to

17:01where I am right now without

17:04pace. While exploring El Pueblo,

17:12you can see the history of the

17:13city by visiting the Pico House

17:17, which was the first three

17:18story building and Grand Hotel

17:19in Los Angeles, and the old

17:22Plaza Firehouse, which housed

17:24the city's first firefighting

17:26crews. You can also enjoy an

17:28array of food that showcases

17:30local culture. It's not just us

17:32upright walkers that can enjoy

17:34the sights of El Pueblo, either

17:37. Our four legged friends can

17:39also experience El Pueblo at

17:40places like La Placita de

17:43Dolores, pet parents know a

17:45healthy pet is a happy companion

17:48. Recently, Imelda Padilla,

17:49council member for district six

17:51and potty with love, brought

17:54free and low cost pet care to

17:56Woodley Park in the San Fernando

17:58Valley. Today, me and my team

18:04from the sixth district are here

18:05in Lake Balboa at Woodley Park,

18:08where we are celebrating our

18:09second annual holiday with love.

18:11This is our annual Animal Health

18:14Care pet resource fair, where

18:15families can come and get low

18:18cost vaccines. They can get

18:20access to microchipping,

18:22grooming, adoption and

18:24fostering, and giveaways. Just a

18:25lot of different resources for

18:26our friendly pets at home. We

18:32brought our three kittens that

18:34we're fostering right now. They

18:36all need vaccines. So when we

18:39heard about this event, we were

18:40very excited. And so that's why

18:41we're here today. We came to get

18:43the dogs microchipped and

18:45vaccinated. You know, and here

18:46to support the community. See

18:48what it's about, what's going

18:49on. You know, we came to

18:50vaccinate our dog today. Um, we

18:54know that it was something that

18:54we needed to do for her. So

18:56that's why we came out to this

18:57event. Oh, it's very important

19:00because, you know, you spend so

19:01much on kitty litter and food

19:03and all the things that you need

19:05to take care of the kittens and

19:06the fact that we have something

19:07here that's free. You know, the

19:09first hundred people is really a

19:10big help for families like us.

19:11That are, you know, looking to

19:13take care of these little

19:14kittens, especially fostering,

19:15especially fostering. I'm just

19:16really grateful for events like

19:19this because it's very helpful

19:20towards a lot of people. I'm

19:22glad to be here and I'm glad,

19:24yeah, I'm glad we're here. You

19:26know, it's what's best for the

19:28puppies, you know? So our

19:30families here in the San

19:30Fernando Valley love their pets.

19:31This is the type of event where

19:33you can find those resources at

19:35an affordable price. So what

19:36we'd like to do is make sure

19:39that the community knows that

19:40there's resources out there and

19:41make it more affordable, be able

19:43to enjoy also, a day at the park

19:45where our pets can also run

19:46around. Like I'm going to be

19:52honest and say that living in

19:54the valley, it's tough to sort

19:55of casually come across these

19:57different types of spaces unless

19:58you're actively seeking it out.

20:06We were looking to put on a

20:07series of events that really

20:10highlights the, like vibrant,

20:11creative tapestry that exists

20:13here in 818. There's such a

20:15dominant narrative that a lot of

20:17the creative opportunity that

20:17exists in the city of LA is

20:20found over the hill, you know,

20:21in the city proper, but people

20:22don't really realize that not

20:24only is the Valley considered

20:25the city of LA, but we also just

20:28have so much creative

20:29opportunity here. I'm a jazz

20:33vocalist, and most of my

20:34musician community lives in the

20:37San Fernando Valley. You know,

20:38it really sucked seeing everyone

20:39having to go over to the city,

20:42over the hill for all the gigs,

20:44all the jam sessions, just to

20:45network and find community when

20:46already there's so much rich

20:48culture and talented artists in

20:51their own right, like in the

20:52Valley, it was my hope to help

20:53create more spaces for artists

20:55who are living in the San

20:57Fernando Valley, to stay in the

20:58San Fernando Valley. We have an

21:03immersive gallery that's ongoing

21:05and we've solicited artwork from

21:08both Super local community

21:10organizations such as the Boys

21:12and Girls Club. But we also

21:13wanted to coalition, build with

21:15other organizations across the

21:17Valley as well. That might not

21:18be in the same immediate area. I

21:20was born and raised in the West

21:21Valley, but we have some artwork

21:23from people at Sun Valley, which

21:26is, you know, all the way across

21:29the 4 or 5. I feel like as

21:32humans, like the arts really

21:34touches our humanity and allows

21:35us to connect with others in a

21:37way that other modes or

21:38activities can't really do the

21:40same way. So I think for people

21:43to be able to touch into their

21:45identities, their interests,

21:46their spirituality, whatever

21:48makes them human and take their

21:50experiences and catalyze them,

21:54transform them into things that

21:54we can experience and see. I

21:55think it really builds empathy,

21:57connection to others and to

21:58yourself. Also, as you grow up

22:01and you settle into adulthood

22:03for a lot of people, you become

22:04disconnected from the arts. You

22:06know, you're sort of in that

22:08capitalist grind of sorts. You

22:09know, you're kind of plunged

22:10into your work just being able

22:12to participate in the arts. It

22:13scratches a completely different

22:15side of your brain, and I feel

22:16like it's super important for

22:18just like your overall wellness

22:19and your holistic wellness. LA

22:24is home to so many people. It is

22:26one of the largest cities

22:27population wise in the U.S. the

22:29city has a really big job to

22:32service and make sure that all

22:33of their citizens have access to

22:35these things, such as the arts.

22:36So for the city of La to pour

22:37funding into spaces like Tosca

22:39Theater, that service the San

22:40Fernando Valley, which again is

22:43not typically a destination for

22:45the arts, is really important to

22:46help bring arts to communities

22:48that need it. The most. I'm

22:51really just mostly hoping that

22:52people come and bear witness to

22:54some of the amazing art that has

22:56been submitted by our partners

22:59across the Valley. We want the

23:01space to be open and accessible

23:03to everybody. I hope that people

23:06come here and take a look at

23:08what our young artists have been

23:09able to do and see within

23:11themselves that, oh, I can do

23:12that as well.

23:22Did you know that the Avila

23:25Adobe built in 1818 here in El

23:27Pueblo, is considered the oldest

23:30surviving residence in Los

23:32Angeles? These homes and their

23:33architectural styles reflect the

23:36communities and the cultures of

23:37the people who live there.

23:39Unfortunately some neighbors in

23:41the city need help and don't

23:44have a home to reflect their own

23:45history and culture. Olinda tiny

23:48Homes Village is one of the

23:50largest tiny home communities in

23:51LA, providing 208 beds. It

23:55offers a safe space and

23:57resources to people who need

23:58them most. As well as a pathway

24:00towards stability and permanent

24:02housing. This is the newest tiny

24:09home community in the city of

24:11Los Angeles, and one of the

24:12largest with over 220 units, and

24:14this is going to be a lifesaver

24:17because when people come in here

24:18, they are going to be safe.

24:20They're going to have security,

24:21they're going to have access to

24:23all the services that they need

24:24to, not just get out of being

24:27homeless, but also to prepare

24:28them for a life and a future.

24:30And success. I'm incredibly

24:39proud for the grand opening of

24:41this Olinda Tiny Homes village.

24:42It's a new resource that will

24:44expand our efforts to address

24:46homelessness, bring people

24:47indoors and place the unhoused

24:49neighbors on a path toward

24:50stability and permanent long

24:52term housing. I work for North

24:56Valley Caring Services. Uh what

24:58we do is we're a street outreach

25:00team in regards to trying to

25:01help out the community who is

25:03unhoused. Um, our mission out

25:04here is to really help these

25:06individuals get document ready

25:07and ensure that they get a nice,

25:09warm meal, making sure that they

25:11have someone to talk to, someone

25:14to be able to understand their

25:15situation. And most importantly,

25:16to be able to get them indoors.

25:18This is. 208 beds. That's 208

25:24people coming off the street. If

25:25you can give a round of applause

25:26for that, they are Ada

25:28accessible. Each residential

25:30unit is equipped with a stowaway

25:32bunk bed, electrical outlets for

25:34charging, heating and air

25:35conditioning, interior lighting,

25:37shelving, storage, and safe and

25:40comfortable living. The moment

25:41somebody walks through these

25:43gates, that's when the

25:44transformation begins. They sit

25:46with a case manager and that

25:48case manager helps them get

25:50their basic documentation. How

25:51about your birth certificate,

25:52your state ID? Because you can't

25:54get a job without that. They

25:55say, let's talk about work. Are

25:56you able to work? Then we help

25:58them find jobs. We help them

26:00with life skills so that they

26:01can actually be successful going

26:03forward. And so we tell people,

26:04once you come here, your next

26:07stop is permanent housing. Don't

26:09give up on yourself because we

26:10won't give up on you. We are

26:16here for the Grand reopening of

26:17the Pacific Palisades. Farmers

26:20Market. This is another giant

26:22step to the comeback of the

26:26Palisades. I'm so excited to be

26:28here. We've been waiting for

26:29this for so long. The farmers

26:33market started 26 years ago very

26:35, very grassroots. I started as

26:38a certified farmer. I started

26:40with one lemon tree in my

26:42backyard that grew into Macomb

26:44Family Farms. I thought to

26:45myself, what would it be like if

26:47every neighborhood had its own

26:48farmers market? That would be

26:50that would be a neat thing. And

26:52then I opened the Palisades

26:54Farmers Market. And the market

27:00was going along. It was

27:02fantastic. It was wonderful.

27:03Neighbors talking with

27:05neighbors, community. Then the

27:06fire came. Everything changed.

27:08So many things were lost in this

27:12fire. Churches, schools,

27:14libraries, theaters, the

27:16gathering places that provide

27:18the fabric of life in any

27:21neighborhood in the aftermath of

27:23the fire last year, we worked

27:26really hard to get this farmer's

27:27market moved into Brentwood,

27:30where it has been in a temporary

27:31home for the last year and a

27:33half, and it actually celebrated

27:35its 25th anniversary. While it

27:38was displaced last year. This

27:40farmer's market has been a

27:43staple in this community. It is

27:44an anchor. It's great to be

27:51here. I've been here for like 15

27:53years and actually it was hard

27:56for us. It's great that I'm

27:57coming back after almost two

27:59years and I see that everything

28:01is rebuilding back again. This

28:08is a very meaningful day for me

28:10because we're back and here we

28:12are. And this isn't the full

28:14market. This is probably half

28:16the size, but it's a start. It

28:20brings the people of the

28:21Palisades together again, and

28:22I'm seeing people I haven't seen

28:24in months. It's just so

28:26heartwarming. This is a special

28:30community. I've been a part of

28:33for 28 years. I was a block away

28:35and I used to just walk over and

28:36get to see all my neighbors and

28:38their pets and their kids and,

28:39you know. With the Palisades

28:44Village opening this past

28:46weekend and more than 40

28:48businesses now back online and

28:51now this farmer's market back

28:52here too, it is a sign not only

28:56of investment. It is a sign of

28:59hope for the families that are

29:01looking for reasons to come back

29:05. You know, this farmer's market

29:06became like a like a weekly

29:08ritual, like a rhythm. Part of

29:10the weekly rhythm of the

29:11community. It's going to be here

29:14every Wednesday at 130. So

29:16everybody should come down,

29:17support it. And I got to tell

29:19you, the produce here is amazing

29:22. We invite everybody, whoever

29:23is not here, to just be here

29:24next, next week. We wait for you

29:26guys. You plant a seed and

29:32extraordinary things. Can happen

29:41. Three, two. One. We're at the

29:48Restorative Care village. We're

29:49in phase four and five. And

29:51right now this is opening up of

29:53space for recuperative beds. So

29:56they're going to be about. I

29:57want to say, 96 beds for people

29:59who have mental health issues or

30:01need assistance. Stage four is

30:05the withdrawal management

30:07facility. On the second floor.

30:09And the bottom floor is an

30:10urgent care. And then stage five

30:13is a building full of different

30:16subacute facilities. So mental

30:17health rehabilitation centers,

30:20psychiatric health facilities

30:21typically will be able to work

30:23with clients longer so that they

30:25really, truly stabilize. A

30:34residential withdrawal

30:34management facility is a 24 over

30:38seven space where people come

30:39inside. They're admitted to a

30:41program and they're provided

30:41with medications, counseling

30:44services, and supportive

30:45services to safely withdraw from

30:47or when they stop using

30:49substances and this is also a

30:51place where people can plan the

30:52next phase of their recovery,

30:54whether they go on for ongoing

30:55residential care, whether they

30:57do outpatient treatment, plus

30:59housing services. So this is

31:01really an entryway into

31:02recovery. Both facilities be so

31:04helpful because they provide us

31:07different needed levels of care

31:09for whatever people are going

31:10through. I mean, if you take

31:12into consideration even how this

31:14place looks, colors, layout,

31:16everything, and for me, it's

31:18always been about including a

31:19space at the table for our

31:21community to have input. So at

31:22every stage of this, they've

31:24been made aware and they've been

31:25active participants in all of

31:27this. This came about because of

31:28their input and because of their

31:31thirst and hunger to see

31:34something better here, too,

31:35because it's been hard hitting

31:37in this particular part of LA

31:40County and the city of LA. From

31:45humble beginnings to making

31:47changes both big and small, it's

31:48the diverse voices that come

31:51together that have made Los

31:52Angeles vibrant and flourishing

31:56for 245 years. As the city

31:58continues to move forward and

31:59advance in technology and

32:01innovation, it's important to

32:03remember where it all started

32:05with a handful of people coming

32:07together and looking out for

32:09each other, no matter how big LA

32:12becomes, it will always, at its

32:14heart, be a community that cares

32:17for everyone. Thanks for

32:19watching. Catch all these

32:21stories and more on channel 35

1:04:14WE LEARNED THAT RVs HAVE A

1:04:16DIFFERENT STORY AND CLEARING

1:04:18THE STREET DOES NOT SOLVE THE

1:04:19PROBLEM.

1:04:20WE LEARN THE VALUE OF STAYING

1:04:23CONNECTED.

1:04:24AFTER A RESENT RV CLEAN

1:04:26UPSTARTED IN INCORPORATED AREA

1:04:27IN LOS ANGELES AREA, A MOTHER

2:05:56THIS IS ITEM 63, COLLEAGUES,

2:05:58THE STRUCTURE OF OUR REGIONAL

2:06:00HOME LTSNESS RESPONSE IS

2:06:02CHANGING.

2:06:02WHILE WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON

2:06:04COUNTY DEPARTMENTS FOR CRITICAL

2:06:06PUBLIC HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH

2:06:08AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES, THE

2:06:10COUNTY HAS MOVED THEIR FUNDED

2:06:12PROGRAMS AND CONTRACTS

2:06:13PREVIOUSLY ADMINISTERED THROUGH

2:06:15LAHSA INTO THEIR NEW DEPARTMENT

2:06:17OF HOMELESSNESS SERVICES AND

2:06:17HOUSE HADING.

2:06:19LAHSA WILL NOT APPLY FOR THE

2:06:22FUNDING NEEDED FOR CRITICAL

2:06:23FUNCTIONS FOR THE L.A.

2:06:25CONTINUUM OF CARE.

2:06:27COORDINATION, RESPONSE HAS BEEN

2:06:30FRAGMENTED AND BLUR HE'D WHILE

2:06:32MAKING INFORMATION HARDER TO

2:06:33TRACK AND GAPS AND SERVICE

2:06:35HARDER TO CLOSE.

2:06:35AT THE SAME TIME, THE CITY

2:06:37CONTINUES TO SEE DISPROPORTION

2:06:40AT RETURNS ON THE.

2:06:44IT'S LIKE WE GIVE A DOLLAR BUT

2:06:47WE ONLY GET TWENTY CENTS BACK.

2:06:50SHELTERS AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE

2:06:52AND PERMANENT HOUSING FOR

2:06:56SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,

2:06:59YET DESPITE THE CITY MAKING UP

2:07:01THE BULK OF BOTH ABOUT THE

2:07:03CONTRIBUTIONS AND AREAS SERVED.

2:07:05SUBMITTING OUR OWN APPLICATION

2:07:07TO THE CONTINUUM OF CARE MEANS

2:07:09THAT WE HAVE MORE CONTROL AND

2:07:11BLT ABILITY INTO SUPPORTIVE

2:07:12HOUSING, OUR DATA AND MATCHING

2:07:15SYSTEMS AND OUR RESPONSE AS A

2:07:17WHOLE.

2:07:18BUT IT WILL HELP DETERMINE WHO

2:07:21PERFORMS FUNCTIONS BEGINNING IN

2:07:23FISCAL YEAR, 27.

2:07:24ITEM 63 AND 64 DO NOT DECIDE IS

2:07:28THE FINAL STRUCTURE TODAY BUT

2:07:30THEY DO HELP ENSURE THAT THE

2:07:33CITY CAN PARTICIPATE

2:07:34RESPONSIVELY IN THE DECISION TO

2:07:35STAND ON ITS OWN WITH THE

2:07:38CONTINUUM OF CARE WITH THE

2:07:40COORDINATION WHILE PROTECTING

2:07:41THE PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS THAT

2:07:43CANNOT AFFORD DISRUPTION.

2:07:44THIS IS NOT ABOUT CONTROL OR

2:07:48FOR CONTROL SAKE, IT'S ABOUT

2:07:51ESTABLISHING CLEAR

2:07:52RESPONSIBILITY, TRUST WORTHY

2:07:54DATA AND TRACABLE DOLLARS.

2:07:54AS CHAIR OF THE HOMELESSNESS

2:07:57AND HEALTH COMMITTEE, THAT'S A

2:07:59STANDARD THAT TILL CONTINUE TO

2:08:02INSIST UPON.

2:08:04SECURE PERMANENT HOUSING AND

2:08:06REMAIN HOUSED.

2:08:07I STRONGLY URGE YOUR YES-VOTE.

2:08:09>> Council President:

2:08:10COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD?

2:08:11>> B. Blumenfield: THANK YOU.

2:08:13SOL DESPITE THE CHALLENGES, WE

2:08:15IN L.A. WE STEPPED UP WITH

2:08:18GREAT COST TO CONTINUE THE

2:08:19PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE.

2:08:21WE ALREADY HAVE AS A CITY, WE

2:08:23AUTHORIZED THE SUBMISSION OF

2:08:24THIS APPLICATION WITH THE

2:08:27UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DECISION

2:08:28IS GOING TO BE MADE BY A CITY

2:08:32OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.

2:08:34AND THE CITY ONE SEAT HACK LA

2:08:36BEING THE OTHER IS RECUSED FROM

2:08:39VOTING.

2:08:39LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THIS

2:08:41IN EITHER OPEN OR CLOSED

2:08:42SESSION S I THOUGHT IF WE GET A

2:08:45GREAT APPLICATION TODAY WE CAN

2:08:46GET OUR CITY WORKERS AND VOTE.

2:08:48WE CAN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE

2:08:50NOW RECUSED.

2:08:51SO THIS DECISION IS GOING TO BE

2:08:52MADE BY NOT BY ANYONE FROM THE

2:08:55COUNTY OR THE CITY BUT BY THE

2:08:57SERVICE PROVIDERS OF PEOPLE WHO

2:08:58SHOW UP.

2:09:00PUTS THEM IN A AWKWARD POSITION

2:09:04OF PICKING BETWEEN THEIR TWO

2:09:07FUNDERS.

2:09:07BUT IF THEY HAD TO CHOOSE,

2:09:09SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO

2:09:11CHOOSE THE ONE WITH A BETTER

2:09:13PAYING RECORD.

2:09:17REALISTICALLY WE'RE GOING TO

2:09:19PUT IT TOGETHER BUT I DON'T

2:09:21THINK WE HAVE A CHANCE OF

2:09:23WINNING, I'M JUST GOING TO PUT

2:09:26IT OUT THERE.

2:09:26THE CITY ALLOWS THE SOUTH AND

2:09:29CONTROL.

2:09:29BUT SHOULD NOT OCCUR, THE CITY

2:09:31NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A

2:09:33CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE REAL

2:09:34CHANCE THAT WE'RE NOT SELECTED.

2:09:37YOU KNOW, AND THIS IS

2:09:38SOMETHING, THERE ARE COUNTLESS

2:09:41MOTIONS AND AMENDMENTED THAT I

2:09:42PUT UP WITH LITTLE RESPONSE

2:09:45FROM OUR DEPARTMENTS, BECAUSE

2:09:47OUR GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE TAKES

2:09:49CONTROL AND ABILITY AWAY FROM

2:09:50THE COUNTY.

2:09:51ON THIS VERY TOPIC, I PUT IN

2:09:54COUNTLESS MOTION NZ 2022 AND

2:09:55THEN AT A SIX DIFFERENT MOTIONS

2:09:57IN 23 AND 3 DIFFERENT MOTION NZ

2:10:0024 AND 25.

2:10:02TWO THIS YEAR, ALL ABOUT

2:10:04ENGAGING THE COUNTY AND GETTING

2:10:07GREATER OVERSIGHT OVER OUR

2:10:07SERVICES.

2:10:10I THINK ULTIMATELY, WE NEED TO

2:10:11ACTUALLY TALK TO THE COUNTY

2:10:12MORE.

2:10:13YOU KNOW, WE CAN SUE THEM AND

2:10:15I'M ALL FOR THAT, WE'RE NOT

2:10:17GETTING THE SERVICES THAT WE

2:10:19NEED FROM THEM.

2:10:20BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT

2:10:22SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT WHO CONTROLS

2:10:24OR WHO IS RUNNING THIS, WE'RE

2:10:26ACTUALLY, THEY'RE SET UP IN

2:10:27MANY WAY TO SEE DO THAT.

2:10:30IT'S ABOUT US HAVING AGENT OVER

2:10:33OUR BEDS.

2:10:35HAVING TRANSPARENCY AND HAVING

2:10:35ACCESS TO THE SERVICES IN A WAY

2:10:38THAT, THAT IS CLEAR AND THAT IS

2:10:40CLEARLY BENEFITS THE LOCAL

2:10:42COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THERE AND

2:10:43THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.

2:10:44BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I

2:10:46THINK COULD HAPPEN IF WE ENGAGE

2:10:48WITH THE COUNTY.

2:10:49AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE US EVEN

2:10:53BEFORE THIS DECISION IS MADE,

2:10:54THAT WE FIGURE OUT THE WAY TO

2:10:56ENGAGE WITH THE COUNTY, AND I

2:10:58TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,

2:11:00THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING WHERE

2:11:01WE GET THE SUPERVISORS TO SPEAK

2:11:02TO TUESDAY OR A DELEGATION OF

2:11:05SEVEN TO MEET WITH A DELEGATION

2:11:07OF TWO OF THEIRS SO WE DON'T

2:11:10VIOLATE THE BROWN ACT.

2:11:12AND WE FIGURE OUT IF THEY'RE

2:11:13GOING TO BE RUNNING THIS, IF

2:11:15THEY DO RUN THIS ELECTION, WHAT

2:11:18IS IT THAT WOULD MAKE US

2:11:21COMFORTABLE.

2:11:22FOR ME, THERE IS CLEAR THINGS,

2:11:25TRANSPARENCY TO THE SERVICES.

2:11:27YOU KNOW, AT THE MOMENT, WE

2:11:29DON'T HAVE THAT, LIKE I, WE CAN

2:11:33FOOL OURSELVES SAYING, BUT WE

2:11:35DON'T.

2:11:36YOU KNOW, WE MADE THOSE

2:11:38PROMISES TO COMMUNITIES WHEN WE

2:11:41PUT THE PERMITS IN.

2:11:42I MADE A LOT OF PROMISES THAT

2:11:45WE WOULD GET THE PEOPLE OFF THE

2:11:47STREETS AND GET THE PEOPLE

2:11:49SERVED.

2:11:49AM I ABLE TO HAVE AGENCY OVER

2:11:51THAT?

2:11:52NO.

2:11:54TIME AND TIME AGAIN, I'VE BEEN

2:11:56TOLD THAT WE WILL.

2:11:57AND I'VE BEEN LIKE CHARLIE

2:12:02BROWN HAVING A--PULLED OUT FROM

2:12:04UNDERNEATH MEE.

2:12:05--ME.

2:12:06I WAS PUT THAT FOOTBALL THERE

2:12:09AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE BEDS

2:12:14AND EACH TIME THEY PULL THE

2:12:16BALL AWAY.

2:12:16I'M READY FOR A CHANGE.

2:12:18AND YES, WE'VE AUTHORIZED OUR

2:12:20APPLICATION BUT LET'S BE

2:12:21REALISTIC AND LET'S TRY TO

2:12:23FIGURE SOMETHING OUT EITHER

2:12:26COLLABORATIVELY THROUGH A

2:12:30PROCESS OR CONFRONTATIONALLY

2:12:31THROUGH A LAWSUIT OR SOMETHING

2:12:34IN BETWEEN THROUGH JUDGE CART

2:12:35ACRE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

2:12:37SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

2:12:38WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT IN

2:12:40TERMS OF THE DECISIONS THAT ARE

2:12:41BEING MADE FOR US.

2:12:43BUT YOU KNOW, I'M OKAY.

2:12:47WE'VE ALREADY AUTHORIZED THIS

2:12:48AND WE'RE MOVING AHEAD BUT

2:12:51LET'S HAVE OUR EYES WIDE OPEN

2:12:53AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

2:12:54THANK YOU.

2:12:56>> Council President:

2:12:57COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ.

2:12:58>> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU, MR.

2:13:00BLUMENFIELD, FOR EXPRESSING THE

2:13:02FRUSTRATION I'VE HAD FOR THE

2:13:04LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

2:13:05WE'RE PUT IN A SITUATION

2:13:08BECAUSE OF THE FAILED

2:13:10LEADERSHIP OF MRS. RAMAN WHILE

2:13:14SHE WAS CHAIR AND NOW WE HAVE

2:13:16TO CLEAN UP THE DUMPSTER FIRE.

2:13:18THE COUNTY IS NOT BEING A GOOD

2:13:21ACTOR AND LAHSA IS NOT BEING A

2:13:23GOOD ACTOR.

2:13:23AND NOW WE HAVE TORAH PIDLY PUT

2:13:26TOGETHER SOME FORM OF CONTINUUM

2:13:29CARE BUT WE HAVE NOT ADDRESSED

2:13:31MOST IMPORTANT PART OF HOW WE

2:13:33MANAGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

2:13:34WE DON'T HAVE A GOVERNANCE

2:13:36SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS US

2:13:38TO DO THAT.

2:13:39THAT NEEDS TO ALSO HAPPEN

2:13:41CONCURRENTLY.

2:13:42BUT LET'S NOT GET TWISTED, THE

2:13:46COUNTY HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATE

2:13:47THE INABILITY TO SHOW UP FOR

2:13:49ANGELINOS.

2:13:49WE SEE IT WITH A LACK OF MENTAL

2:13:51HEALTH SERVICES THAT ARE ON THE

2:13:53STREET.

2:13:53WE SEE IT IN THE MEANS OF US

2:13:56HAVING TO DUPLICATE AND CREATE

2:14:01MEDICAL STREET TEAMS TO ADDRESS

2:14:04SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

2:14:06THOSE ARE NOT BEING ACCESSED

2:14:08THROUGH THE STREETS HERE IN LOS

2:14:10ANGELES.

2:14:10I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE

2:14:11RESOURCES ARE GOING.

2:14:12I'VE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH

2:14:14JUDGE CATEGORIER, I WROTE A

2:14:16LETTER, WENT TO THE COURT TO

2:14:19ACTUALLY URGE HIS SUPPORT AND

2:14:20INTERVENTION TO ACCESS THE VERY

2:14:22SAME MENTAL HEALTH BEDS THAT WE

2:14:24ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE OBLIGATED

2:14:27TO PROVIDE THROUGH THE FEDERAL

2:14:28COURT.

2:14:29THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED THEM.

2:14:31WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

2:14:33THEY ARE NOT A VEILING THEM TO

2:14:34US.

2:14:36SO, LET'S NOT BE DELUSIONAL

2:14:38ABOUT OH MAYBE, WE CAN MAKE IT

2:14:39WORK.

2:14:42THEY'VE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED

2:14:43WHILE THEY HAVE CENTRALIZED ALL

2:14:45THE WORK IN THE COUNTY, WHILE

2:14:48WE SAT HERE, NOT MOVING

2:14:52ANYTHING FORWARD, THEY HAVE

2:14:54CREATED A SITUATION WHERE THEY

2:14:55ARE NOW A FAVORED LEAD IN THIS

2:14:58CONVERSATION.

2:15:00TO LEAD THIS, TO LEAD OUR

2:15:02CONTINUUM OF CARE.

2:15:03AND SHAME ON EVERYBODY.

2:15:06SHAME ON EVERYBODY.

2:15:07BUT HERE WE ARE, NOW HAVING

2:15:10TORAH PIDLY CLEAN IT UP SO THAT

2:15:12WE CAN HAVE SOME OWNERSHIP OVER

2:15:14THE HOUSING THAT OUR ANGELINOS

2:15:17AND OUR RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS

2:15:18HAVE FUNDED.

2:15:23SO, LET'S STOP, ALLOWING THE

2:15:25FAILURE, WHILE THIS IS

2:15:27ADVANCING AND HOPEFULLY, WE CAN

2:15:29HAVE SOME OWNERSHIP OVER THIS

2:15:31WORK RIGHT NOW IN THE CONTINUUM

2:15:34OF CARE.

2:15:35WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE AN

2:15:36IMPORTANT CONVERSATION AROUND

2:15:38THE CENTRALIZED GOVERNING

2:15:39STRUCTURE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE

2:15:40HERE IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

2:15:42BECAUSE LET'S NOT GET IT

2:15:44TWISTED, THE COUNTY IS--HOW

2:15:48MANY MORE EXAMPLES THAT THEY'RE

2:15:51NOT GOING TO DO.

2:15:52AND EVERYBODY TALKS B MAYBE WE

2:15:54SHOULD INVITE THEM.

2:15:55I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH

2:16:02LINSAY.

2:16:02THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH

2:16:06ARE NOT PROVIEEDING THE BEDS

2:16:07THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO

2:16:08PROVIDE BY THE COURT.

2:16:10WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE

2:16:12PLACED IN OUR HOUSING THAT ARE

2:16:14NOT ABLE TO CARE FOR THESE

2:16:16INDIVIDUALS OR MATRICULATE OR

2:16:17GET THEM TO THE RIGHT SERVICES

2:16:19THAT THEY CURRENTLY NEED THAT

2:16:21THEY QUALIFY FOR.

2:16:22SOL I DON'T WANT US TO BE

2:16:28DELUSIONAL, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE

2:16:29THIS FORWARD BUT LET'S CLEAN UP

2:16:33THE DUMPSTER FIRE THAT WAS LEFT

2:16:35BY INACTION.

2:16:35WE HAVE TO MOVE FASTER.

2:16:37WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME

2:16:39DECISIONS, WE HAVE THAT 30-DAY

2:16:41CLOCK BY THE DEPARTMENT TO

2:16:43START FIGURING OUT THE

2:16:45DECENTRALIZATION BUT WE HAVE TO

2:16:46TANNED UP SOMETHING QUICKLY.

2:16:48I HOPE WE DON'T DIFFER THE

2:16:52LEADERSHIP TO INDIVIDUALS THAT

2:16:57HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN THE FAIL.

2:16:58WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT ALL UP NOW.

2:17:00AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE

2:17:04SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATIONS THAT

2:17:06WE GET SOME TYPE OF ASSEMBLAGE

2:17:11OF FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM AND STILL

2:17:13HOLD THE COUNTY ACCOUNTABLE.

2:17:15BUT THAT REQUIRES ALL OF US TO

2:17:17YOU KNOW, PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY

2:17:19BIG GIRL PANTS AND MAKE SURE

2:17:21THAT YOU HAVE THE HONEST AND

2:17:23DIFFICULT CONVERSATION WZ OUR

2:17:24COLLEAGUES DOWN THE STREET.

2:17:25BUT THIS FAILURE NEEDS TO STOP.

2:17:27AND WE HAVE TO STOP ENABLING IT

2:17:31BY BEING TOO FRIENDLY OR TOO

2:17:33ACCOMMODATING TO WHAT WE KNOW

2:17:36IS A COMPLETE DISSERVICE TO LOS

2:17:38ANGELES.

2:17:40THANK YOU.

2:19:10TO FIX A SIDEWALK AND I CAN GO

2:19:12ON AND ON AND THE SERVICES THAT

2:19:14WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

2:19:15SO I HOPE, WHAT YOU PUT FORWARD

2:19:18AND WHAT THE TEAM PUTS FORWARD

2:19:19IS SOMETHING THAT SETS US UP

2:19:23FOR SUCCESS I'M DOWN FOR

2:19:25THROWING PUNCH BUT WE'VE GOT TO

2:19:27BE READY TO RECEIVE THAT PUNCH

2:19:29ESPECIALLY WITH WITH THE

2:19:30LANDSCAPE AND THIS IS GOVERNED

2:19:32BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND

2:19:33THERE IS A LOT OF DISTRUST HOW

2:19:36WE'VE BEEN MOVING AROUND

2:19:39HOMELESSNESS.

2:19:39THAT WAS MY QUESTION AND I

2:19:41THINK, COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ,

2:19:43I JUFPT WANT TO SAY THAT I

2:19:44AGREE WITH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO

2:19:46THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH.

2:19:49DMH RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT

2:19:51AMOUNT OF MONEY.

2:19:52SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FEDERAL

2:19:55DOLLARS YET WHAT IS ON OUR

2:19:57STREETS, AND MAJORITY ARE

2:19:58PEOPLE THAT ARE DEVELOPED OR

2:20:00HAVE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND

2:20:01THERE IS A LACK OF SERVICE

2:20:03THERE AND IF ANYBODY IS GOING

2:20:04TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, I

2:20:07BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO THE

2:20:11DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND

2:20:12IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION,

2:20:15THAT WE THROW THE PUNCHES THAT

2:20:16ARE GOING TO LAND THAT GET US

2:20:20THE SERVICES.

2:20:20THAT'S ALL.

2:20:21>> JUST MAYBE EASE YOUR MIND A

2:20:23LITTLE BIT, WE'RE CONFIDENT

2:20:24THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A

2:20:28STRONG ADMINISTRATION, THAT THE

2:20:30CITY AS A MUNICIPALITY IS

2:20:35UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO.

2:20:36AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO MAKING

2:20:38SURE THAT SERVICES CONTINUE

2:20:42UNDISRUPTED AND WITH AS LITTLE

2:20:43PAIN AS POSSIBLE.

2:20:44AND THAT IT WILL BE REFLECTED

2:20:46IN OUR APPLICATION AS WELL.

2:20:47>> Council President: THANK YOU

2:20:48SO MUCH.

2:20:50THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER

2:20:51HERNANDEZ AND ALL THE MEMBERS

2:20:53WHO SPOKE.

2:20:53I JUST WANT TO ADD A LITTLE BIT

2:20:55TO THIS.

2:20:57THIS IS, WE'RE AT A VERY TOUGH

2:21:01CROSSROADS PARTLY BECAUSE OF

2:21:03THE WE APPROACHED THIS ISSUE

2:21:05OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND

2:21:06THE WAY THE COUNTY IS

2:21:08APPROACHED THE ISSUE AS WELL.

2:21:10BUT FOR ME, THIS IS, I THINK

2:21:13ABOUT THE 30,000 FOOT LEVEL IN

2:21:15THIS POSITION THE CITY IS AT

2:21:18THIS MOMENT.

2:21:18WE'RE IN A MOMENT WHERE WE

2:21:20CAN'T RELY ON THE COUNTY TO

2:21:22DELIVER REALLY ANY SERVICE IN A

2:21:25TIMELY MANNER AND IN A MANNER

2:21:27THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THE CITY.

2:21:29AND I WANT TO SAY TO MEMBERS,

2:21:30THERE IS A LOT OF US AROUND THE

2:21:33HORSESHOE WHO WON ELECTION WHEN

2:21:35THE MAIN DISCUSSION WAS AROUND

2:21:37HOMELESSNESS O WHETHER WE'RE

2:21:404118 OR AGAINST IT AND SO FORTH.

2:21:41IF WE MOVE TO A SYSTEM WHERE

2:21:44THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN CLEAR

2:21:48AN ENCAMPMENT IN THE

2:21:49NEIGHBORHOOD IS L.A. COUNTY,

2:21:50GUESS WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US.

2:21:54GUESS WHAT HAPPENS AROUND THIS

2:21:56HORSESHOE, AND I DON'T CARE

2:21:58WHAT YOU SAID WHEN YOU WERE RUN

2:21:59ARING, YOUR RESIDENTS ARE GOING

2:22:02TO DEMAND THAT YOU USE WHAT WE

2:22:04HAVE TO CLEATER ENCAMPMENT.

2:22:06AND WHAT DO WE HAVE?

2:22:08WE HAVE POLICE AND JAILS.

2:22:10THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT.

2:22:11IF WE CANNOT GET MANAGEMENT

2:22:14FROM OTHER SERVICE SOUTH SIDE,

2:22:16THAT'S ALL WE'RE SERVICES.

2:22:17I'M NOT DOWN WITH PUNISHING

2:22:20SOMEBODY BECAUSE THEY'RE POOR

2:22:22OR HAVING A POLICE OFFICER

2:22:24APPROACH THEM OR GOVERNMENT

2:22:25BECAUSE THEY'RE POOR.

2:22:26BUT I'M TELLING YOU, IF WE GIVE

2:22:29THESE SERVICES TO THE COUNTY,

2:22:30THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE

2:22:32LEFT WITH.

2:22:32AND WE CAN YELL AND SCREAM

2:22:34ABOUT IT AND HAVE PICKETS AND

2:22:36PROTESTS, THAT IS THE REALITY

2:22:37THAT WE CREATE IF WE ALLOW THIS

2:22:39TO GO DOWN AND LEAVE THIS BODY

2:22:42AND THE INSTITUTION OF THE CITY

2:22:44WITH NO OTHER WAY TO DEAL WITH

2:22:48ENCAMPMENTS AND HOMELESSNESS

2:22:51AND MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

2:22:53WE'RE ALREADY THERE WITH MENTAL

2:22:57CRISIS.

2:22:57A GOOD NUMBER OF SHOOTINGS IS

2:23:00WITH PEOPLE THAT THE COUNTY

2:23:02HAVE PICKED PICKUP YEARS AGO,

2:23:04THAT'S ALREADY THE SITUATION.

2:23:05AND TO BROADEN THAT SITUATION

2:23:06BY STEPPING ASIDE AND LETTING

2:23:08THE COUNTY TAKE OVER THIS, IS

2:23:11BEYOND THE SCOPE OF ANYTHING

2:23:13THAT IS RESPONSIBLE OR

2:23:14THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THE FUTURE OF

2:23:15THE CITY.

2:23:16SO WITH THAT, SEEING NO OTHER

2:23:18SPEAKERS ON THE QUEUE, I WANT

2:29:09THAT SHAPED HOW I SHOW UP IN

2:29:12THE WORLD.

2:29:14TODAY WE ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY

2:29:16OF MY BEAUTIFUL MOM, A LEJANDRA

2:29:19RODRIGUEZ.

2:29:20SHE WAS BORN ROSAURA A LEJANDRA

2:29:28RESIDENT CHIHUAHUA MEXICO.

2:29:29THE FIRSTBORN TO ANTONIA AND

2:29:33CASIMIRO, THEY CAME TO LOS

2:29:34ANGELES IN THE EARLY 1950s WHEN

2:29:36MY MOM WAS A YOUNG GIRL.

2:29:39LIVING IN MANY L.A.

2:29:40NEIGHBORHOODS FROM ECHO PARK,

2:29:42HIGHLAND PARK AND EAST L.A.

2:29:45SHE ATTENDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS

2:29:47INCLUDING BURBANK MIDDLE AND

2:29:49FRACKER --FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL.

2:29:53SHE WAS THE ELDEST OF THREE THE

2:29:58FIRST TO COME TO LOS ANGELES

2:30:00AND MY GRANDFATHER HELPED LEAD

2:30:02HIS BROTHERS AND FAMILY TO JOIN

2:30:03THEM HERE IN THE STATES.

2:30:06MY GRANDFATHER WHO EARNED A

2:30:07LIVING IN MEXICO AS A

2:30:11PROFESSIONAL MARIA CHI LEARNED

2:30:13A TRADE AND WORKED AS AN

2:30:15UPHOLSTER.

2:30:17MY GRANDFATHER WAS A SEAMSTRESS

2:30:18WHO WORKED IN THE FASHION

2:30:20DISTRICT AND MADE ALL THE

2:30:22CLOTHES FOR HER TWO DAUGHTERS.

2:30:23REFLECTING ON THAT HISTORY IS

2:30:26WHAT REFLECTED SO MUCH WHO SHE

2:30:29WAS.

2:30:29GROWING UP, I RECALL MANY OF

2:30:31HER STORIES, HER CHILD HOOD

2:30:33WITH HER SISTER, MY AUNT MARTHA

2:30:37SUMMER SENT IN JUAREZ WITH HER

2:30:40COUSINS, WERE STORIES WHERE SHE

2:30:42REFLECTED ON THAT THEY DIDN'T

2:30:45HAVE MUCH, HUMBLE MEALS BUT

2:30:47SPENDING TIME WITH SISTER AND

2:30:53EXTENDED SUMMERS WAS HER HAPPY

2:30:55AND TO KNOW MY MOM WAS TO KNOW

2:30:56THE FAMILY WAS EVERYTHING.

2:30:57IT WAS AS A TEAM THAT SHE MADE

2:31:01TWO VERY DEAR FRIENDS, MAGGIE

2:31:03SOLIS AND LINDA HERNANDEZ WHO

2:31:04LIVED ON ARROYO SECO AVENUE ON

2:31:08CYPRESS PARK.

2:31:11AROYO SECO IS AN IMPORTANT PART

2:31:13OF OUR FAMILY HISTORY.

2:31:14IT'S THE STREET WHERE SEVERAL

2:31:16FAMILIES BUILT EVERLASTING

2:31:18FRIENDSHIPS THAT RUN SO DEEP

2:31:21I'VE ONLY EVER KNOWN THEM AS

2:31:23PART OF ANY FAMILY.

2:31:24IT WAS ALSO THE STREET WHERE MY

2:31:29GRANDPARENTS, THIS THEIR HOME

2:31:30AND WERE RAISING THEIR SONS

2:31:33RAFAEL AND CAESAR RODRIGUEZ.

2:31:34IT'S WHERE MY MOM AND DAD MET.

2:31:38MY GRANDMA SHARED WITH ME, THAT

2:31:40MY MOM ONCE TOLD HER WHEN SHE

2:31:42WAS YOUNG THAT HER BOYFRIEND

2:31:44WOULD BE THE MAN THAT SHE

2:31:46MARRIED AND TRUE TO HER WORD,

2:31:49THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

2:31:51MY DAD GRADUATED FROM FRANKLIN

2:31:54HIGH SCHOOL IN THE SUMMER OF

2:31:571968, AN ERA WHERE ALL YOUNG

2:31:59MEN IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS

2:32:01DECIDED THAT THEIR FUTURE WAS

2:32:03EITHER TO ENLIST OR WAIT FOR

2:32:04THE DRAFT TO PULL THEIR NUMBER.

2:32:07MY DAD ENLISTED IN THE MARINE

2:32:10CORPS ON HIS TERM WITH A

2:32:12TWO-YEAR COMMITMENT AND VENT TO

2:32:14VIETNAM.

2:32:15MY MOM WROTE HIM LETTERS EVERY

2:32:17SINGLE DAY AND WOULD INCLUDE A

2:32:19STICK OF GUM.

2:32:21AS MY DAD RECALLS THOSE LETTERS

2:32:25WERE THE WELCOME RETRIEVE FROM

2:32:27THE LONELINESS OF BEING AWAY AT

2:32:29WAR.

2:32:30IT WAS AFTER HIS RETURN FROM

2:32:32DUTY AND AGAINST HIS PARENT'S

2:32:33WISHES, HE WENT TO MY

2:32:36GRANDPARENT AND ASKED FOR MY

2:32:38MOM'S HAND IN MARRIAGE.

2:32:40THEY WERE MARRIED JUNE 2419ED

2:32:4472 IN EAST L.A.

2:32:45THEY LIVED IN AN APARTMENT IN

2:32:48MONTEBELLO AND THAT'S WHERE I

2:32:50CAME ALONG IN JANUARY OF 1974.

2:32:54SIX MONTHS LATER, WE MOVED TO

2:32:56OUR HOME IN ARLY TA UNTIL WHEN

2:33:03HE JOINED THE L.A. CITY FIRE

2:33:05DEPARTMENT.

2:33:06I TRULY BELIEVE AND THOSE THAT

2:33:09KNEW HER WOULD TELL HER, SHE

2:33:11WAS MEANT TO BE A MOM.

2:33:16MY GRANDMA WOULD SHARE STORY

2:33:17ABOUT HOW EVERY DAY SHE WOULD

2:33:20CARE FOR ME, CLEANING BEFORE EN

2:33:22FINGER AND TOE AND NEVER

2:33:24PUTTING ME DOWN, AND I KNOW

2:33:26THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE I GOT TO

2:33:28SEE HER LOVING CARE WITH MY OWN

2:33:31BABIES.

2:33:31SHE HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY

2:33:36PROTECTIVE INSTINCT EVERYTHING

2:33:37IN HER BEING WAS ABOUT CARING

2:33:39FOR OTHERS, IT WOULD BE

2:33:40DIFFICULT FOR TO YOU DISCERN

2:33:42FAMILY FROM FRIENDS, BECAUSE

2:33:43SHE TREATED THEM ALL THE SAME.

2:33:45MY MOM HAD HAD THE MOST

2:33:47GENEROUS HEART AND LOVED

2:33:48EVERYONE DEEPLY.

2:33:51IN 1976, MY SISTER CAME ALONG,

2:33:55OUR QUOER QUOER QUAURTET WAS

2:34:02COMPLETE, IT WAS OFTEN ME AND

2:34:05MY MOM AND SISTER TOGETHER.

2:34:07MY MOM DIDN'T DRIVE BUT DID NOT

2:34:11STOP US IN THE SAN GABRIEL

2:34:15VALLEY WITH MY AUNT AND COUSINS

2:34:18AND GRANDPARENTS.

2:34:19DURING THE WEEK, SHE DIDN'T

2:34:20JUST WALK ME AND MY SISTER TO

2:34:23AND FROM SCHOOL, SHE

2:34:26VOLUNTEERED SO MUCH SO AS MY

2:34:30THIRD GRADE TEACHER, THE STAFF

2:34:33PHOTO WAS MY MOM WAS IN THE

2:34:35PICTURE, AS SHE RECALLED, THE

2:34:40SCHOOL FOUND UPON PARENTS THEY

2:34:42FAVORED BUT YOUR MOM HELPED

2:34:44EVERY KID.

2:34:45IF A KID HAD A BIRTHDAY AND

2:34:48THEY'RE PARENTS WERE UNABLE TO

2:34:49CELEBRATE, YOUR MOM MADE THE

2:34:51CUPCAKES.

2:34:52NEVER WANTED A CHILD WITHOUT

2:34:54FEELING CARED FOR AND IT DIDN'T

2:34:56STOP THERE.

2:34:57THAT'S WHO SHE WAS IN OUR

2:34:59NEIGHBORHOOD.

2:34:59BE FRIEND IFED EVERY NEIGHBOR,

2:35:01WATCHED THEIR KIDS AND

2:35:03SUPPORTED THEM.

2:35:04SHE MADE OUR HOUSE A HOME, AND

2:35:08IT WELCOMED NEIGHBORS AND

2:35:09FRIENDS.

2:35:10BY INTENTION OR NOT, IT WAS HER

2:35:12MASTER PLAN, I THINK THAT KEPT

2:35:14US HOME BECAUSE OUR FRIENDS

2:35:17WERE ALWAYS WELCOME AND EVEN

2:35:19WHEN ANY SISTER'S FRIEND NEEDED

2:35:21A PLACE TO STAI, HE MOVED IN

2:35:23WITH US.

2:35:31SHE SACRIFICED TO ADORN MY

2:35:35SISTER AND I, SO MUCH SO I

2:35:38FORCED HER TO GET AN EXPENSIVE.

2:35:43WHEN I STARTED DATING RALLY, MY

2:35:46MOM WAS NOT A DEEP BUT IT

2:35:48DIDN'T TAKE LONG BEFORE THEY

2:35:51EARNED HER DEEP AND LASTING

2:35:53AFFECTION.

2:35:54OUR FAMILIES ARE INSEPARABLE.

2:35:56WHEN RALLY AND I RETURNED FROM

2:36:00OUR HONEYMOON SHE ALREADY

2:36:01STARTED ASKING WHEN WE WOULD

2:36:03HAVE KIDS.

2:36:03SHE WOULDN'T WAIT TO DO IT ALL

2:36:05OVER AGAIN, BECAUSE SHE WAS

2:36:07HAPPIEST WITH A BABY IN HER

2:36:09ARMS .D IT WAS MERELY THREE

2:36:11YEARS THAT ADRIANE CAME ALONG

2:36:15AND NOT LONG BEFORE THAT AT

2:36:19THIS TOOK MY MOM SHOPPING FOR A

2:36:24FUTON TO STAY OVER.

2:36:28THEN ELIANA AND NIECE AND

2:36:30NEPHEW AND AS FAR AS SHE WAS

2:36:32CONCERNED HER GRANDKIDS WERE

2:36:33HER BABIES.

2:36:34OUR KIDS WERE BLESSED TO HAVE

2:36:36GRANDPARENTS THAT FOUGHT FOR

2:36:38TIME AND MY MOM USUALLY WON.

2:36:40SHE WAS THERE FOR ME AS A NEW

2:36:43MOM JUST AS SHE WAS FOR MY

2:36:45KIDS, NO TRUER EXAMPLE OF

2:36:49SELFLESS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR

2:36:50MY MOM.

2:36:50SHE WAS THE TRUEST FORM TF

2:36:53ACTION SPEAKING LOUDER THAN

2:36:54WORDS.

2:36:55HER LOVE FOR YOU WAS EXPRESSED

2:36:57IN HER GENEROSITY AND COUNTLESS

2:36:59PHONE CALLS NA LET YOU KNOW

2:37:01THAT YOU WERE THOUGHT OF AND

2:37:03SHE CALLED OFTEN.

2:37:04SHE WAS A TRUE ANGELINO, SHE

2:37:07CHEERED FOR THE T BIRDS, YES,

2:37:13MY MOM LOVED ROLLER DERBY AND

2:37:16MAGIC WAS HER FAVORITE LAKER

2:37:19UNTIL KOBE CAME ALONG AND I

2:37:21ALREADY MISS THE PHONE RINGING

2:37:22FOR NO REASON BUT TO ASK A

2:37:24QUESTION OR SHARE SOMETHING

2:37:25THAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR

2:37:26FAMILY.

2:37:27AND I KNOW RALEIGH AND I WILL

2:37:31MISS THOSE CALLS IMMEDIATELY

2:37:34AFTER A BASKETBALL GAME.

2:37:35IF I ANSWERED, SHE WOULD SPARE

2:37:38JUST TO DIRECTLY ASK IS RAUL

2:37:40THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS EAGER TO

2:37:42HAVE A POST GAME DIALOGUE WITH

2:37:46HIM.

2:37:46HE WAS HER BUDDY.

2:37:48SHE LOVED FAMILY PARTIES, MUSIC

2:37:52AND ADVENTURE'ING WITH FOOD.

2:37:54SHE AND MY AUNT ALS SHARED

2:38:00CLIPPED RECIPES TO TRY NEW.

2:38:02YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HER TO

2:38:05BRING SOMETHING TO THE PARTY

2:38:07WHETHER IT'S IT WAS HER

2:38:13SIGNATURE POTATO SALAD, SHE'S

2:38:14THE ONE THAT TAUGHT ME BET TORE

2:38:16HAVE LEFT OVER THAN NOT ENOUGH

2:38:19AND FAMOUS FOR STARTING THE

2:38:22BAKING TREND IN THE

2:38:23NEIGHBORHOOD.

2:38:25A TRADITION THAT MY SISTER

2:38:27CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.

2:38:28SHE WAS AWE CONSERVATION

2:38:32GARDNER BEFORE IT WAS EVOLVED

2:38:33AND DOG LOVER IN FACT, THERE

2:38:35WAS MORE THAN ONE OCCASION

2:38:37GROWING UP WHEN I WOULD GET

2:38:39HOME FROM SCHOOL AND SMELL

2:38:41CHICKEN SOUP ON THE STOVE AND

2:38:44SHE WOULD ANNOUNCE, IT'S NOT

2:38:46FOR YOU, IT'S FOR THE DOGS.

2:38:50SHE WAS ALWAYS ONE TO SLIP THEM

2:38:53A TREAT AND THEY NEVER LEFT

2:38:55THEIR SIDE AND IT CAPTURES

2:38:56EVERYTHING THAT SHE WAS.

2:38:58SHE LOVED UNAPOLOGETICALLY AND

2:39:01GENEROUSLY AND YOU WOULD BE

2:39:04FORTUNATE TO BE MONG THOSE THAT

2:39:07SHE CARED ABOUT P.I SAID MANY

2:39:10TIMES THAT I WON THE LOTTERY AT

2:39:11BIRTH.

2:39:12IT'S WHY THE TRADITION A YEARS

2:39:15AGO, OF SENDING HER FLOWERS ON

2:39:17MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE ONCE YOU

2:39:19BECOME A MOTHER, YOU TRULY

2:39:21DISCOVER THE DEPTH OF WHAT LOVE

2:39:23IS, THE FEAR, THE ANXIETY AND

2:39:26THE FRUSTRATION.

2:39:27I KNOW I TESTED HER WITH ALL OF

2:39:29IT.

2:39:31AND I WANTED HER TO KNOW THAT I

2:39:35DEEPLY LOVED HER.

2:39:38MY CHILDHOOD WAS AN ADVENTURE

2:39:40FILLED WITH LAUGHS AND LOVE,

2:39:42NEVER ANY LIMITS PUT ON MY

2:39:44SISTER OR I.

2:39:47TO WHAT WE COULD ACHIEVE.

2:39:50MY MOM AND DAD OFTEN LAUGHED

2:39:52QUESTIONING HOW WAS I THEIR

2:39:54DAUGHTER BECAUSE THEY WOULD

2:39:55HAVE NEVER PUT THEMSELVES OUT

2:39:58THERE THE WAY I HAVE.

2:39:59GOING BACK TO THE FIRST STUDENT

2:40:02COUNCIL A ELECTION RUNNING FOR

2:40:04PRESIDENT IN THE SIXTH GRADE.

2:40:05SHE WAS BORN INTO A WORLD THAT

2:40:08DIDN'T REVAER OR RESPECT THE

2:40:10SACRIFICE OF CONTRIBUTIONS THAT

2:40:11WOMEN AND MOTHERS MAKE

2:40:13ESPECIALLY AS AN IMMIGRANT

2:40:15FIRSTBORN DAUGHTER.

2:40:16SHE HARE BOARED MANY OF THE

2:40:18FEARS THAT I BELIEVE FREED HER

2:40:21DAUGHTER TO DEFY THE ODDS IN

2:40:23ONE GENERATIONS TIME.

2:40:24WHEN SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE VOICE,

2:40:27I WAS THERE BECAUSE I WAS HER

2:40:29FIRSTBORN.

2:40:30AND I WILL ALWAYS BE HER BABY.

2:40:34I CHOSE TO DO THIS ADJOURNMENT

2:40:36FROM MY SEAT BECAUSE THAT'S

2:40:39WHERE SHE SAW ME TAKE ON THIS

2:40:41ROLE AS A COUNCILMEMBER AND

2:40:42APPLY SO MANY OF THE LESSONS

2:40:45SHE TAUGHT ME FROM THE CARE TO

2:40:47MY COMMUNITY TO MY MANNER OF

2:40:49DRESSING AND THE LOVE OF NEW

2:40:51SHOES.

2:40:52MY MOM PERHAPS MAY HAVE

2:40:56UNDERSTOOD ALL A ALONG, ON

2:42:53>> Council President: OUR

2:42:55CITIES CONDOLENCES TO THE

2:42:56RODRIGUEZ FAMILY.

2:42:58THANK YOU MONICA FOR SHARING

2:42:59WITH US TODAY.

2:43:01THIS WILLING AN ALL COUNCIL

2:43:04ADJOURNMENT WITH YOUR

2:43:05PERMISSION AND WITH THAT WE ARE

2:43:07ADJOURNED.

2:44:19I want on today's tour, you'll

2:44:22see container ships carrying

2:44:24cargo to and from ports from

2:44:26around the world. Inside the

2:44:29containers are items you take

2:44:30for granted every day, such as

2:44:32food, clothing, electronic

2:44:34equipment, furniture, auto

2:44:36parts, and more. In fact, 95% of

2:44:40all international trade is done

2:44:42by ship. We're departing from

2:44:44Banning's Landing, site of one

2:44:46of the earliest shipping

2:44:48operations in the harbor. This

2:44:50site was established in 1857 by

2:44:54Harbor Pioneer Phineas Banning,

2:44:55who was known as the father of

2:44:57the Los Angeles Harbor. Coming

2:44:59up on our left is Houston

2:45:03Terminals LLC, also referred to

2:45:06as Whitey. Whitey handles

2:45:09container cargo from the

2:45:12Alliance Container Shipping

2:45:13Lines. The Alliance includes one

2:45:16ocean network Express, Yang Ming

2:45:20Lines, Hmm, and Hapag-Lloyd.

2:45:23Whitey has been a tenant with

2:45:26the Port of Los Angeles since

2:45:301991, and is the fifth largest

2:45:31container terminal by acreage at

2:45:33the Port of Los Angeles. On the

2:45:35right is Pasha Terminal. This 40

2:45:39acre facility is known as a

2:45:42green Omni Terminal. It is the

2:45:44world's first marine terminal

2:45:45with the ability to generate all

2:45:47of its energy needs from

2:45:49renewable resources. Coming up

2:45:51on our right are terminals used

2:45:54primarily for receiving

2:45:55petroleum products. These

2:45:57handling facilities include

2:45:59tankers, barges, bulk carriers,

2:46:01and storage tanks with

2:46:03convenient rail access. Down

2:46:06this slip are also the

2:46:08facilities for Valero Shell,

2:46:11Vopak, Kinder Morgan, NuSTAR

2:46:14energy, PBF energy, Philips and

2:46:18Rio Tinto Minerals. US Borax

2:46:20Inc. Rio Tinto Minerals is one

2:46:24of the oldest established

2:46:25companies doing business here,

2:46:27and is the only privately held

2:46:29terminal at the Port of Los

2:46:31Angeles. The turning basin is

2:46:34the entrance to the West Basin,

2:46:35home to Trey Pac and Yang Ming.

2:46:38The Trey Pac terminal receives

2:46:41cargo from Mexico, Asia, and the

2:46:43Philippines. It is the first

2:46:45terminal in the world to

2:46:46implement driverless, automated

2:46:49straddle carriers that work in

2:46:50concert with automated stacking

2:46:53cranes. The Yang Ming terminal

2:46:55features on dock rail, so

2:46:57containers go from the

2:46:58waterfront right onto a train

2:47:00taking many big rig trucks off

2:47:02the highways. The trains then

2:47:05head to downtown railyards via

2:47:07the Alameda Corridor. The

2:47:09Alameda Corridor moves cargo

2:47:12faster and has reduced vehicle

2:47:15emissions by eliminating 200

2:47:17rail street crossings. Ahead is

2:47:19the historic Wilmington Clock

2:47:22Tower and former cruise ship

2:47:24terminal. Up until the 1960s, it

2:47:27was the hub of passenger ocean

2:47:29liner travel. Our next site is

2:47:32China Shipping Terminal. China

2:47:34Shipping is equipped to service

2:47:37ultra large container vessels

2:47:38with a capacity of up. To 14,000

2:47:42TEUs. If all containers were

2:47:4520ft in length, that would be

2:47:4814,000 units. The China Shipping

2:47:51Terminal at the Port of Los

2:47:52Angeles was the first in the

2:47:55world to offer container ships

2:47:56clean electrical power plug in

2:47:58service, while at dock, instead

2:48:00of using diesel fuel. The China

2:48:03Shipping Terminal and
