2026-10-06 - City Council

00:00everything, identifying

00:01everything, cataloging

00:02everything. And putting it into

00:03the collection space at NM. So

00:10July 6th is the last day that

00:12you can come and see the museum

00:13as it is. We're closing July 7th

00:16for a two year renovation. And

00:17so while we're closed, there

00:19will be many ways to keep up

00:22with the progress of our

00:23reimagining process. You can

00:25visit our website at Tar Pits,

00:27dot org reimagining. But we also

00:29will have activities going on at

00:31the Natural History Museum in

00:33Exposition Park, where we also

00:35have some fossils from the tar

00:37pits, so you'll be able to still

00:39see some of our fossils if you

00:41have family that come to visit

00:42and you really want to show off

00:44some of these extraordinary

00:45fossils, you can see them there.

00:46We'll also have various programs

00:48for schools going on where we'll

00:50be going out to the schools, and

00:53we have a mobile museum also,

00:54which will keep people engaged.

00:59When the Samuel Oschin Global

01:01Center for Ice Age Research

01:03reopens, it's going to be just a

01:05fantastic building with a really

01:08fantastic architecture that

01:10complements the park. And we're

01:12going to have all new displays

01:15which really tell the story of

01:16this 50,000 year history at La

01:19Brea, which isn't very well told

01:21in our current exhibits. We'll

01:22have a narrative that you'll

01:24walk through time and understand

01:26how things have changed. We'll

01:28also have the science more

01:30visible. We'll be able to have

01:32that open lab as it is now, but

01:34then a completely open

01:36collections. So the public will

01:37be able to view the millions of

01:40fossils that we have in our

01:41collection and also see people

01:44working on those fossils, people

01:45studying those fossils, so that

01:47the process will be much more

01:50transparent. And we hope that we

01:52end with a message of how

01:55important these ecosystems are.

01:57And how important these

02:00ecosystems are to preserve in

02:01the future

02:38.

02:38Tucked away in a quaint park

02:40between the 101 and Universal

02:42Studios Hollywood is Campo de

02:44Cahuenga, a place that holds an

02:45important historical moment in

02:47California's history. On January

02:4913th, 1847, General Andrés Pico,

02:51commanding Californio forces

02:53from Mexico and Lieutenant

02:54Colonel John C Frémont,

02:56representing the American Army,

02:57signed the Treaty of Cahuenga,

03:00also known as the Articles of

03:02Capitulation of Cahuenga, which

03:04ended the organized fighting in

03:05California during the

03:06Mexican-American War in Los

03:08Angeles, there's always

03:10something new and exciting to

03:11discover, rich in history, worth

03:13exploring. Whether you are just

03:15visiting or arriving from across

03:16the globe. Welcome to LA

03:44.

03:44The word Adobe comes to English

03:46through Spanish, reflecting

03:48building traditions that have

03:49been used around the world for

03:51thousands of years. Where I'm

03:53standing is a recreation of the

03:54original Adobe at Campo de

03:56Cahuenga. The original Adobe

03:58structure was demolished around

03:591900, and its current structure

04:01came to life in 1950. A

04:04potpourri of culture and history

04:06is worth celebrating, and no one

04:08does this like El Grito,

04:11honoring the history and

04:11diversity of Los Angeles Latino

04:12communities and bringing

04:14Angelenos together at the heart

04:15of Los Angeles City Hall. Viva

04:20Mexico. Mexico Tonight we're

04:31celebrating a special tradition.

04:33El grito de Dolores. It's the

04:35fiestas Patrias celebrating

04:37Mexican independence. This

04:39tradition has been going on for

04:42decades, and I find that it

04:44comes at an especially critical

04:46time when our community has been

04:48so under assault. The meaning

04:52for me, El Grito, it means like,

04:54you know, when we started our

04:56independence, you know, and this

04:57is it. This is hey, that's it.

05:05It is a way of celebrating

05:08Mexican independence Day, but in

05:10a way where we recognize we

05:13emphasize that we are a neighbor

05:16. We are a community of Mexican

05:18Americans. Everyone is invited

05:20to our party. What? It's about

05:23the history. And again, being a

05:26woman and a family of men, it's

05:29showing us to be strong and

05:30stand up for what we believe to

05:34that we are a city that has a

05:36majority Latino population, the

05:39largest concentration of

05:40Mexicans outside of Mexico City.

05:42The true meaning of El Grito. It

05:44was how ordinary people came

05:45together to fight for their

05:47independence. And one, you know

05:49, I think it's very important to

05:50just keep the roots and keep the

05:52culture alive. It's very

05:53important to just know and be

05:55proud of who we are as Latinos,

05:56as our parents who made such

05:58sacrifices to be in this

05:59country, who worked their butts

06:01off to be here and to let people

06:04know in higher power that we are

06:06not leaving anytime soon and

06:07that we were here first. We have

06:10been here and we are going

06:10nowhere. Make some noise. If you

06:13are planning to go anywhere.

06:18It's going to be the Mexico near

06:23Mexico. Viva Mexico! Viva.

06:42God bless you and. Viva Mexico.

06:51Was its motto, Los Angeles. Qué

06:53viva Mexico. Look in! The

07:02Japanese American National

07:03Museum has been an institution

07:04here in little Tokyo for a long

07:07time. And so we always seek to

07:08partner with other organizations

07:10around the neighborhood in this

07:10case, being able to host our

07:12Natsu Matsuri festival, which we

07:14hold each summer here at the

07:15Budokan, is an exciting

07:17opportunity for us to bring both

07:18audiences together and to invite

07:19the community to participate in

07:21some of the programs that Janome

07:21has brought here, as well as

07:24collaborating with the Budokan

07:25to share this space here in

07:26Little Tokyo. It's an annual

07:30festival and we are here to

07:31celebrate the summer and Nisei

07:33Week as a part of our activities

07:36that are happening throughout

07:36Little Tokyo. Most of our

07:39audience, you know, isn't

07:40Japanese American. For these

07:42kinds of festivals. So it's a

07:44really new opportunity to learn

07:45about a new culture and new

07:45tradition. So yeah, that's why

07:48we just want to have people to

07:48come in and celebrate with us.

07:51We're hosting a variety of

07:52activities today, from Obon

07:54dancing to our Janome volunteer

07:57Band, a program that I work in,

07:59particularly the Democracy

08:00Center specializes in programing

08:02that engages audiences of all

08:04ages and civic dialog. Arts and

08:07culture, and the ways those two

08:09fields interact with one

08:09another. We particularly want to

08:11engage younger audiences and

08:12being more civically involved

08:14because it's so crucial that

08:15young people are involved in the

08:18infrastructure and the building

08:19of their future. So we're closed

08:23for renovation right now, but we

08:24are still actively doing

08:26programing, and even when we

08:27were open, this was a really a

08:29good opportunity for us to get a

08:30lot of people in the door,

08:33especially new audiences, young

08:33families, new generations in the

08:35door to learn about Janome,

08:36learn about Japanese American

08:37history and culture, Japanese

08:39American history is very

08:40extensive, and Janome is the

08:42largest collection of material

08:44objects of the Japanese American

08:46story and history. And so for

08:47us, it's really a great

08:48opportunity. Just like with

08:49Natsu Matsuri, to connect with

08:51multiple generations of families

08:53to come that are not only

08:54Japanese American, but of many

08:55other cultures to be a part of

08:57this festival together. In 1997,

09:02during the construction of the

09:05Metro B-Line subway, the

09:06foundation of the original Adobe

09:07was unearthed beneath Lankershim

09:10Boulevard to ensure its legacy,

09:12a recreation of the foundation

09:13is available for viewing while

09:16the footprint under the street

09:17and sidewalk is marked by

09:18decorative pavement. In South

09:20Los Angeles, another historic

09:23landmark is being preserved that

09:24celebrates arts and culture. The

09:26city of Los Angeles has

09:27completed a major investment in

09:30Leimert Park's historic Vision

09:31Theater, transforming the venue

09:33into a vibrant gathering place

09:35for the entire community. The

09:41city has made an investment

09:42right here in Leimert Park for

09:45the vision Theater. We're so

09:47excited about what this means in

09:49South Los Angeles, what it means

09:50to artists, what it means to

09:52community. And we can't wait for

09:58the doors to be open to see our

10:03first program. In the community

10:06is at the heart of what the

10:08Department of Cultural Affairs

10:09does. We know that Leimert Park

10:11is a space where artists thrive,

10:13where we have visual and

10:15performing artists. The theater

10:17is here to help lift up our

10:18artists and our partners here in

10:20Leimert Park, and help carry

10:22forward the Leimert Park legacy

10:22of what this is going to be.

10:28It's a great thing to see this.

10:30This theater open, and it's like

10:32a jewel. This is like a jewel of

10:34this community, and it's so

10:35promising. All the attention

10:37given by the city of Los Angeles

10:39to this neighborhood, the first

10:42thing I noticed was the sound

10:46impeccable. The acoustics. I'm a

10:48musician. I'm an actor, a

10:50singer, all of that other stuff,

10:51you know, I'm a performer. And

10:52the acoustics was what got me. I

10:55sing, oh, so I want to be on

10:59stage. Like I say, it's a jewel.

11:07It's really from this community.

11:09And it celebrates this

11:10community. And it's a place

11:11where people can gather until

11:13such time as we have opened this

11:16beautiful, grand vision theater,

11:17we've had to find ourselves

11:19going out of our community in

11:21order to enjoy the arts, music,

11:23dance and now we can stay home.

11:27I think every detail was

11:30intentional, and I'm excited for

11:32the world to see it.

11:49We're here today in the lovely

11:51Winnetka area here in the West

11:52San Fernando Valley on 818.

11:54We're here at Cupid's Hot Dogs,

11:55hosting their love letters to

11:57the Valley event. So we've been

12:05here for 80 years. My

12:07grandparents started Cupid, so

12:09we're third generation owners.

12:11And yeah, we've just been a part

12:13of the Valley for generations

12:13now. And it's really been our

12:16mission to kind of keep our

12:16store the same. We haven't

12:18changed a lot. We got bands

12:21playing here. We've got vendors

12:22and all kinds of fun things

12:24going on. Tell me when

12:28everybody's name. Really our

12:36motivation behind a love letter

12:38to the Valley was a way for us

12:42to bring community together, to

12:44show love to one another. We

12:45brought a variety of

12:46organizations, nonprofits, pop

12:49up vendors, and musicians to all

12:51come together in this family

12:53friendly event. So that we could

12:56not only show love to one

12:57another, but feel that love from

13:01one another. I think it's just

13:04good to get in, you know, IRL,

13:05as the kids say, get back into

13:07real life and let's see what's

13:10going on. You know, in the

13:11community, in person than

13:12whatever's going on online. You

13:13know, there could be a little

13:14misconstrued sometimes on there.

13:16So let's get back out and do

13:17some fun stuff in public. You

13:19know, events like this is what I

13:22love about this job. Councilman

13:24Bob Bloomfield loves to keep our

13:26local mom and pop style

13:28businesses as healthy and

13:29thriving as he can. And so,

13:32through our support and our

13:33fellow government offices,

13:34making sure that these legacy

13:35businesses stay afloat is super

13:37important. To

13:52This is one of the last events

13:55that we have for the summer,

13:56culminating a great summer. We

13:58had pool parties all over the

13:59city. We had a great attendance

14:03. People from all over the city

14:04came out to enjoy our pool

14:06parties. The summer was really

14:10successful for Vienna, so we had

14:11a lot of programs, a lot of

14:13teams, for example, like water

14:14polo, artistic swimming, swim

14:16team, junior lifeguards. Also,

14:17kids learn how to swim. Going

14:19from, you know, our tiny tots

14:20and preschool all the way up to

14:22even like level four and just

14:24being in the water during

14:25summertime because we know it's

14:26super hot outside. My kids use

14:29this club for two years. We love

14:32it. I'm really appreciate for

14:33L.A. city. You know, it's a good

14:36facility for the kids. What I

14:41found out is like the free pool

14:42party I got so excited and I

14:44told my kids it's actually like

14:48our first time here in Van Nuys

14:50. You know, the pool is big and

14:52it's really a nice pool. I love

14:54it. This pool party is amazing.

14:58And bringing all community

15:00together. The kids are enjoyi

15:02it. We've been coming to this

15:04park for many years. My son is

15:06in a swimming team and a water

15:08polo team in this park. Every

15:10single day. The council office

15:15is also here and they're going

15:16to have a few different games

15:19for the kids. Being a lifeguard,

15:22I really find a lot of joy and

15:25fulfillment in teaching kids how

15:26to swim. You know, being more

15:27confident in the water just

15:29learning that it's not something

15:30to be scared of or fearful of

15:32when you think of the water, you

15:33should be thinking of having a

15:36good time. You know, having fun

15:39. Obviously, swimming is a life

15:41skill that everybody should

15:42know, and we have a great

15:43program here at Brown and all

15:45over the city where we teach

15:47kids and adults how to swim.

15:52Here at Vienna. So we are a year

15:53round pool. So we offer lessons

15:55as well as team sports

15:57throughout the whole year. So

15:59not just the summertime. So

16:01currently after the Labor Day

16:02pool party, we will kick off our

16:03off season. And so essentially

16:05what that means is we do offer

16:06our lessons and teams during the

16:08fall. And winter months, you

16:09know, stop on by, see what we

16:11have going on. From its early

16:18beginnings, when the Adobe was a

16:19ranch house to a stagecoach mail

16:21service, to a Union troop

16:23campsite during the Civil War,

16:25and today, Los Angeles

16:27Historical Monument number 29,

16:27Campo de Cahuenga will always

16:29hold importance to the people

16:31and history. It represents in

16:34Venice Beach, another important

16:35landmark is being preserved

16:37after fears it would go away,

16:38the Venice Beach skate park is

16:40back. The restored park was

16:42designed with input from skaters

16:43and an emphasis on being a place

16:45to bring people together.

16:47Councilwoman Tracy Park was at

16:48the ribbon cutting ceremony with

16:50the Venice Beach community to

16:51celebrate the return of the

16:52skate park. So I'm so excited

17:00about it. Like it's amazing. It

17:02was obviously done by skaters.

17:03It's so smooth, especially the

17:05ground, and the vibe is so nice.

17:07We are out here at Venice Beach

17:10where we just cut the ribbon on

17:13our restoration of the historic

17:16OG little skate park right here,

17:19and we have worked with the

17:21community to restore some of

17:23these historic elements. When

17:25they took out the last one, a

17:28lot of us local skaters were

17:29really sad because we didn't

17:30know that they were going to

17:31build it soon, and we honestly

17:33thought they were just going to

17:35take it away. So like, we were

17:37kind of heartbroken. So just to

17:37see like all the effort and work

17:40they put into it and to make it

17:41so nice, it's like we really

17:43feel like Venice is back. I

17:44think it's sick. It's a sick,

17:46sick setup. Should have had this

17:48like 20 years ago. It's amazing.

17:49And I'm so grateful. Hallelujah

17:52Thank you God. Thank you

17:53everybody. That made this

17:55happen. You know what I'm

17:56saying? I'm grateful. I think

17:58for the community, it's a great

18:00place. Venice already is a skate

18:02Mecca. I feel like people come

18:04from all over the world to skate

18:04here. Now. The community is

18:06going to be able to come here

18:08and learn. Hopefully we'll start

18:10doing some skate classes with

18:11the recreation center. So

18:13offering some more programs for

18:14everybody locally and around the

18:15world. And this is of course

18:17adjacent to one of the most

18:20iconic skate parks in the entire

18:23world. We are also going to be

18:26bringing back the legendary

18:28historic Venice pit. It brings

18:38unity. It brings family. There

18:40are people from all over Los

18:42Angeles and beyond out here in

18:45Venice today. Dude, right now

18:53the city is doing such a good

18:55job. Venice and Santa Monica has

18:57been coming to life with all the

18:59events. There's been so much

19:01happiness, even with FIFA just

19:03happening too. It's been like

19:05maybe like seven years since

19:07I've seen Venice this bright and

19:09happy. I think there's going to

19:12be more people because I'm going

19:14to start skating more, because

19:15this setup is way doper. I'm

19:17about the street spots. It's got

19:18the new street benches and

19:20stuff. So I'm stoked. Maybe

19:22doing some intro to skating,

19:23getting some of our local

19:24legends, Venice Beach is full of

19:26legends who are OG skateboarders

19:29that grew up here, that learned

19:31to skate here. So hopefully

19:32they'll come back and they'll

19:33want to do some some good for

19:34the community and give back to

19:36the kids. We are super excited

19:37with LA 28 and the Olympics on

19:40the horizon as we're getting our

19:42footprint here in Venice ready

19:44for the world to arrive. We're

19:46not done yet, but we're going to

19:47be camera ready by 2028. Come by

19:51Venice Beach, bring your

19:52skateboard and learn to skate

19:53out here. This is a blessing for

19:55everybody that skates out here.

19:56This is dope.

20:08We are happy today to be here to

20:10reopen the lovely Wilshire

20:12Branch Library. They have done a

20:15lot of work on making their

20:17spaces to be more sensory

20:19friendly and just welcoming and

20:20inclusive for young Angelenos.

20:22So we're very excited to be here

20:24. We are the biggest fans of

20:26this library, this library is

20:28one of the most special places

20:30in Los Angeles to make this

20:32space accessible for everyone.

20:34Nicole is always putting on fun

20:36events, sensory spaces for kids

20:37and teens means dampening the

20:40sound, lowering the lights,

20:42making the lights softer. So to

20:45speak, which we did with some

20:46different cellophane and making

20:47more accessible seating,

20:50basically making it more of an

20:51inclusive space. We actually

20:55have a sensory forecast that

20:56allows patrons to anticipate

21:00when there will be sensory

21:01friendly hours in the library,

21:02which are Mondays, Wednesdays,

21:05Fridays, Saturdays for the first

21:07two hours of service, and for

21:09the patrons that have lower

21:10light needs. We have lights that

21:12they can actually check out at

21:13the library. It's been amazing

21:15being here. And as you can see,

21:17there's just so much going on

21:19around and we've always been

21:21welcomed to be here. And I think

21:23that if there's anybody in the

21:25community who's looking for a

21:26space to do that, to be able to

21:27come and be themselves, and this

21:29is a great place to be. My

21:31favorite activity that we do

21:33here is probably like Legos,

21:35because you can like, go here on

21:38like a Lego day and you can make

21:41anything you want. This is our

21:43eighth location to undergo these

21:44changes to make this space more

21:46sensory friendly and inclusive

21:47for children and teens. Over 40

21:49of our locations now have

21:51sensory kits, so even if they

21:53don't have the complete space,

21:54they do have tools available to

21:56help make the library more

21:57accessible. LA will host the

22:03largest event this nation has

22:05ever hosted and the question

22:07that determines whether it works

22:08is not just about the readiness

22:10of the particular venues. It's

22:11not just about the athletes

22:13themselves. It's about whether

22:14people can get to and around Los

22:16Angeles safely, affordably and

22:19in a way that makes them feel

22:22good about their experience here

22:24in Los Angeles. So I hosted a

22:26panel discussion here today with

22:28some of the agencies that are

22:29going to be responsible for

22:30mobility around the upcoming

22:31Olympic and Paralympic Games.

22:35Whether you plan to go to the

22:38games or not, you're going to be

22:40impacted by an increase in

22:41traffic and an increase in

22:42visitors. Really, LA metro is

22:46the largest agency that's

22:48coordinating these efforts.

22:53During the summer's World Cup,

22:55Los Angeles showed the world

22:57what we can accomplish. More

22:59than 212,000 rides were taken on

23:01Metro's enhanced bus service on

23:03one match day alone. Ridership

23:05on the line increased by 41, and

23:08on the C line by 23. Well, we

23:12wanted to talk about what went

23:13right during the World Cup, so

23:15that we could build on that

23:16experience to make sure that the

23:18games that are coming in 2008

23:19are as seamless as possible, and

23:21that we can have mobility for

23:23the tens of thousands of

23:25visitors who are coming to Los

23:26Angeles without negatively

23:27impacting the residents of Los

23:29Angeles. We also want to make

23:36this so good for transit riders

23:38that we improve their experience

23:40going into the future long after

23:42the games are gone. There's a

23:44lot of things that we need to

23:45fix about our transit system.

23:47For transit riders that this

23:48gives us a really good push to

23:49get done quickly. We enjoy the

23:55fact that we're going to have

23:56the Olympics here in L.A. but

24:00included in that we will be

24:02looking out for the residents to

24:04make sure they're not

24:05disadvantaged, and that

24:07something will be left in these

24:09communities for them. And we're

24:12also hoping that more people

24:14give transit a try. We want to

24:17give people an affordable, safe,

24:18convenient way to get around our

24:20city. We're hoping that these

24:22games give us an opportunity to

24:23do that. Campo de Cahuenga hosts

24:33an annual reenactment of the

24:35Treaty signing. While the treaty

24:37ended conflict in California,

24:39the Mexican-American War did not

24:41formally end until the Treaty of

24:42Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed on

24:45February 2nd, 1848, when we

24:48document the truth of our past,

24:49it allows us to preserve the

24:50history of communities and

24:52recover from difficult times

24:53with intention and recognition.

24:56September is national

24:58Preparedness Month in LA and the

24:59City of Los Angeles Emergency

25:01Management Department is

25:02reminding Angelenos to be

25:04prepared that means having

25:05emergency kits, updating out of

25:07area contacts, making a plan,

25:10and knowing where to find

25:11resources in an emergency.

25:20September is national

25:22preparedness Month. It's an

25:23opportunity to gather your

25:25family and friends and think

25:26about if you are prepared for

25:29disasters. Here in Los Angeles,

25:31we know that we are prone to a

25:32variety of different types of

25:34things. It could be earthquakes,

25:36it could be severe weather. A

25:37lot of rain, high temperatures,

25:40you name it. So we have to be

25:42ready and we have to be

25:45prepared. So during the month of

25:46September, we encourage all

25:47Angelenos, residents and

25:49businesses to take a look at

25:51their emergency plans to know

25:52their hazards, and then to

25:55practice their plan to look at

25:56their emergency kits, to make

25:58sure all the items that might be

26:00needed during times of disaster

26:02are in place. Los Angeles being

26:05so huge, certainly responders

26:06can't get to everybody. So

26:09oftentimes we rely on our

26:11neighbors. While there is some

26:12disasters that we can plan for,

26:14such as El Nino, we need to know

26:18how to be ready for anything

26:20that could happen at a moment's

26:22notice. September is El Nacional

26:26del preparation. Qué es dedicado

26:28a crear consciencia publica

26:29sobre la importancia de

26:30prepararse para desastres

26:32naturales y también esos

26:34provocado por el humano. Lo

26:36importante es empezar a empezar

26:37a hablar sobre todos pueden

26:39hacer en caso de una emergencia

26:41y sepan. Qué no tienen tener

26:43miedo porque ya estan mas

26:44preparados. Ready el dawg.

26:50That's ready la dawg. And this

26:53website you will see a variety

26:55of resources to be ready for any

26:57disaster. There are studies that

27:07show that 1 in 3 students in

27:09LAUSD need glasses. The idea of

27:11kids going to school and not

27:13being able to see and perform

27:14well in school. To me, is just

27:15heartbreaking. Today, Powersite

27:21Foundation teamed up with

27:22Ketchum Health University with

27:24Monica Rodriguez and Reno 92.3.

27:25We came out here at Pacoima to

27:27give free eye exams and free

27:29glasses. We're hosting our first

27:30ever vision clinic. We're

27:31partnering with Power of Sight

27:34to bring 150 glasses, eye exams

27:35to the community. People are

27:37getting ready to go back to

27:38school, kids going back to

27:39school, and we think it's so

27:41important that they have the

27:42proper vision and tools that

27:44they need in order to do well in

27:46school. Adults as well. We

27:47brought not only the glasses,

27:49but giveaways like backpacks.

27:50We're giving food out to the

27:52community. As we see, the need

27:56is there. We've had a line since

27:586 a.m. this is a service that a

28:00lot of people from the community

28:01desperately need. Eyeglasses are

28:02not super affordable. Sometimes

28:04we know insurance is high,

28:06eyeglasses are expensive, and

28:07the opportunity to do that for

28:10free in the community is

28:10something that we're happy to be

28:13involved with on a frequent

28:13basis. We got here at 7:00 when

28:15people were lining up before we

28:17got here, two hours before we

28:18got here, like at 5 a.m. So the

28:21need here is great. What's

28:23unique about our organization?

28:24Not only do they do the eye

28:27exams, they choose their frames

28:27and we're making them today on

28:28the spot. So everyone was

28:30walking away with their glasses

28:31today. There's been many times,

28:34a lot of our participants. This

28:36is their first exam ever.

28:36Sometimes they're in their mid

28:4030s. 40s 50s. We want to make

28:41sure that the resources that

28:43sometimes our constituents need

28:43to go out to the city to

28:46receive, that we bring them to

28:47them. Right? We don't want to

28:49create an obstacle or a hurdle

28:49that they have to go to. That's

28:52our commitment to the city. If

28:54anybody is interested or

28:55bringing us to their community

28:56anywhere in LA County, reach out

28:58to us. You can visit our website

29:00at Power of.org. We'll be happy

29:02to come out to your community.

29:08Campo de Cahuenga is one of

29:12hundreds of places in Los

29:12Angeles that tells the

29:14incredible history of a city

29:15filled with dreamers, game

29:17changers, pioneers, and really

29:19good skaters. Thank you for

29:21joining us and experiencing Los

29:22Angeles. Watch these stories and

29:24more anytime at LA city Govtv

29:27and follow us at LA City on

29:28Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

29:30We will see you next time

30:30.

30:30I'm Venezuelan, so we've had a

30:32ton of loss and destruction back

30:34home and I don't want to feel

30:37powerless anymore. And I

30:40remember the same feeling last

30:41year with the LA fires. I

30:43desperately wanted to help and I

30:46don't have the experience, the

30:48training, the knowledge, what,

30:49sir, is the community emergency

30:52Response team? Today we're

30:55having cert training for the

30:56community. We've hosted this

30:57training before and it was a big

31:00success. So we thought that it

31:03would be necessary to do it

31:04again and stop the disaster. But

31:06we're going to try to lessen the

31:08impact. This is a community

31:10event and all ages are welcome

31:11in the event of emergency, you

31:13are going to need leaders to

31:14step up who know what to do and

31:17how to lead the community

31:20through a crisis. That's where

31:21this training comes into to

31:24play. Be prepared. Having some

31:26idea of what you're going to do

31:27and how you're going to do it. I

31:30was actually looking up how to

31:31become a wilderness firefighter.

31:32I just don't have the training.

31:35So here I am. If you want to go

31:38connection with your community,

31:39I figured I can at least help

31:40out in my community first. I'm

31:42an Eagle Scout, so I the whole

31:44motto is be prepared. I have

31:47always wanted to take this

31:48class. I worked with families,

31:50children, and I feel like the

31:53more calm and prepared I am

31:54during an emergency, the better

31:56I can be of value to them. The

31:59more of us know all these tools

32:01and resources and tips, the more

32:03lives we're going to be able to

32:05save the more people can learn

32:07this info, the better. There's

32:09people from every walk of life

32:11here, from young guys to little

32:13old ladies. I think the fact

32:14that the city of La is putting

32:17this program out at no cost is

32:19mind blowing. In today's

32:21economy, a pandemic, a pandemic

32:24you would really rather be in a

32:27position where you know and are

32:29not needed, rather than be

32:31needed and not know what to do.

32:34It's free. It's going to be

32:36useful. It's so valuable, and

32:37it's for the community. It's for

32:39your family, it's for you.

32:41Preparedness is power

46:04.

46:04All right. Good morning. Welcome

46:06to the regularly scheduled

1:12:36>> City Attorney: YOU HAVE A

1:12:37MINUTE GO AHEAD.

1:12:38>> Speaker: THANK YOU.

1:12:39SO I AM HERE TODAY.

1:12:40I HAVE TWO SUGGESTIONS.

1:12:43I BELIEVE THAT LOS ANGELES CITY

1:12:45FIRE DEPARTMENT IN LOS ANGELES

1:12:47COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT, NEEDS

1:12:49TO HAVE PUBLIC WATER HOSE

1:12:52FOUNTAIN.

1:12:53THE CITY HAS APPROVED FOR

1:12:56PEOPLE TO SPRAY DOWN WATER ON

1:12:59PUBLIC SIDEWALKS FOR OVER THE

1:13:01LAST YEAR AND I BELIEVE THAT IS

1:13:02A WASTE AND THAT'S ACTUALLY

1:13:06REALLY DIRTY I GET WATER IN MY

1:13:09SANDALS AND IT'S GROSS.

1:13:10BUT THERE IS NO WATER SYSTEMS

1:13:12AT THE DEPARTMENT FOR WEEKS

1:13:14LIKE EXTREME HEAT LIKE TODAY,

1:13:16IT'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

1:13:17I BELIEVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

1:13:19NEEDS WATER FOR EMERGENCY.

1:13:21ON 211, HAS DENIED ME SEVERAL

1:13:23TIMES FOR A VOUCHER FOR EXTREME

1:13:28HEAT XESHL WHEN THE EMERGENCY

1:49:01THAT THEY HAD TO PAY THOUSANDS

1:49:03OF DOLLARS PER CAR IN IMPOUND

1:49:06FEES.

1:49:07WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THIS TO FUND

1:49:09ALL REPAIRS SO YOU DON'T HAVE

1:49:11TO WORRY ABOUT CORRUPT GIFTS

1:49:13NEXT TIME THERE IS A STREET

1:49:15TAKE OVER, YOU SEIZE THE CARS

1:49:19AND THEN CREATE A LAW THAT

1:49:21SAYS, THOSE CARS ARE SEIZED AND

1:49:23GOING TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION FOR

1:49:25THE DAMAGES THEY'VE DONE.

1:49:28NOW SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF

1:49:30SOLVING BY REPAIRS AND STREET

1:49:55CITY VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE

1:50:09AGAINST POLICY AND THEN

1:50:11ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT INSURANCE

1:50:13FRAUD AGAINST THE CITY.

1:50:14IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF WE

1:50:17HAD THE CAMERAS BACK THEN WHEN

1:50:19ROCKY DEL GADILLO'S WIFE

1:50:22APPEARED TO BE DOING CAMERAS.

1:50:24AND WHEN JOSE HUIZAR WHO IS

1:50:26SITTING IN THE FEDERAL PRISON

1:50:31UNTIL 2035 HAD A DUI AND

1:50:35ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE BACK OF A

1:50:37SQUAD CAR UNTIL HE CAN PASS A

1:50:41SOBRIETY TEST.

1:50:43AND WHEN MIKE HERNANDEZ AND

1:50:45ROCKY DEL GA GADILLO OR

1:50:49HERNANDEZ DRUG BUST OR JOSE

1:50:52HUIZAR AFTER A DUI CASE, THAT

1:50:54WOULD BE GREAT.

2:05:00THAT IS IS NOT THE POINT.

2:05:01WHETHER YOU THINK YOUR ACTION

2:05:04BY NOT APPROVING SCIENTOLOGY

2:05:06PERMITS, CAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY

2:05:07JUST USE THEM TO SHUT DOWN

2:05:10STREETS, RECRUIT PEOPLE IN THE

2:08:54I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY HERE,

2:08:57THAT I WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS

2:08:59MOTION WHEN IT FIRST CAME

2:09:01BEFORE THE COMMITTEE BUT THIS

2:09:02IS A SECOND YEAR LONG EXTENSION

2:09:06FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE A FAIRLY

2:09:10STRAIGHTFORWARD RECONCILIATION

2:09:12OF STATE AND CITY ON RV PARKS.

2:09:16AND I AM ONLY VOTING NO ON THIS

2:09:18BECAUSE I'M JUST FRUSTRATED

2:09:21WITH THE TIMELINE THAT THE

2:09:22PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS TAKEN

2:09:24TO RESOLVE THIS AND AS I

2:09:26EXPRESSED IN THE COMMITTEE MEET

2:09:27ING, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

2:09:29WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS

2:09:30QUICKLY.

2:09:31>> Council President:

2:09:32COUNCILMEMBER McOFTENINGER.

2:09:33>> T. McOsker: COLLEAGUES THIS

2:09:35IS ABSOLUTELY IS NOT A

2:09:37STRAIGHTFORWARD ISSUE.

2:09:38WHAT WE IS A MAOU --MUNICIPAL

2:09:49STANDARD.

2:09:52PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN RV PARKS AND

2:09:58DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO PROVIDE

2:10:00POLICE AND FIRE ACCESS TO THE

2:10:01SITE.

2:10:02DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT

2:10:05THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

2:10:07AND IN FACT WHAT WE NEED TO DO

2:10:08IS ALLOW THE MORATORIUM PROCESS

2:10:11AS EVERY OTHER CITY IN THE

2:10:13STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ALLOWS A

2:10:16TWO-YEAR PROCESS, FOR US TO

2:10:18ANALYZE WHAT THE GO FORWARD,

2:10:21STRUCTURE WILL LOOK LIKE.

2:10:22I FOR ONE THINK IT SHOULD BE A

2:10:25CONTINUAL USE PERMIT THAT

2:10:27ACTUALLY PROTECTS THE PEOPLE

2:10:28THAT LIVE THERE.

2:10:29I WILL TELL YOU, I'M

2:10:31APPRECIATIVE OF THE MOTION.

2:10:34I'M APPRECIATIVE THAT THERE ARE

2:10:35OTHER DISTRICTS.

2:10:37I'VE LIVED THROUGH TWO OF THESE

2:10:39THAT WERE PERMITTED IN

2:10:42WILMINGTON AND THE PEOPLE WHO

2:10:43ARE LIVING IN THOSE RV PARKS,

2:10:48RV SLUMS LIVE IN ABSOLUTE

2:10:52SQUALLER.

2:10:52I WAS AS RECENTLY AS THIS

2:10:55WEEKEND TAKEN A LOOK AND IT IS

2:10:58UNACCESSIBLE TO A SMALL CAR,

2:11:00POLICE, FIRE, PARAMEDICINE

2:11:01PICKS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

2:11:04THERE ARE CODE PROVISIONS, JUST

2:11:06NORMAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

2:11:07PROVISIONS UNDER THE MECHANICAL

2:11:10CODES, THE ELECTRICAL CODES,

2:11:11THE PLUMBING CODES THAT ARE NOT

2:11:13COMPLIED WITH.

2:11:15IT IS ACTUALLY UNCONSCIOUSABLE

2:11:20THAT THIS CODE EXIST TODAY AND

2:11:22THIS MORATORIUM HAS TO STAY IN

2:11:24PLACE SO THAT SAFETY AND POLICE

2:11:27AND THIS COUNCIL CAN DECIDE HOW

2:11:30WE MOVE FORWARD TO WE'RE NOT

2:11:33PERPETUATING THE SQUALLER THAT

2:11:34WE WOULD NOT ALLOW TO EXIST IN

2:11:36THE STREET.

2:11:37BUT THIS ALLOWS THE SQUALLER BY

2:11:41RIGHT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

2:11:43SO I, I DISAGREE STRENUOUSLY

2:11:47AND I'M TIRED, I'M TIRED OF

2:11:51FOLKS PRETENDING, PRETENDING TO

2:11:53BE STICKING UP FOR THE

2:11:55COMMUNITY.

2:11:55PRETENDING TO BE PROVIDING

2:11:57HOUSING WHICH WHAT THEY'RE

2:11:59DOING IS PUNISHING THE PEOPLE

2:12:01WHO GO INTO THE FACILITIES AND

2:12:02PEOPLE WHO LIVE AROUND THERE.

2:12:05>> Council President: THANK YOU

2:12:07COUNCILMEMBER McOSKER.

2:12:10MRS. RODRIGUEZ.

2:12:10>> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU, MR.

2:12:12McOSKER.

2:12:13YOU AND I HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY

2:12:16WHICH WE'LL CALL IT AN

2:12:19EXPLOITING OF PUBLIC BENEFIT

2:12:21CODE NOT MISREPRESENTATION TO

2:12:25THE DETRIMENT OF RESIDENTS.

2:12:27SO WE CAN LAMENT HOW LONG

2:12:30THINGS MAKE BUT WE'RE NOT HERE

2:12:34TO LAMENT THE TIME AND DO RIGHT

2:12:36BY RESIDENTS, THAT'S WHAT THIS

2:12:37POLICY IS ABOUT.

2:12:38SO I WANT TO THANK YOU, IT HAS

2:12:40BEEN FRUSTRATING.

2:12:41I KNOW WE HAVE SADLY

2:12:44EXPERIENCED, WE FOUND OUT ABOUT

2:12:46THIS THE HARD WAY.

2:12:48I REALLY WISH THERE WEREN'T

2:12:51DECISIONS BEING MADE THAT WERE

2:12:53PUTTING SO MANY RESIDENTS TO BE

2:12:55EXPOSED TO IT.

2:12:56AND YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY, TO

2:12:58THE CONDITIONS THAT WE DON'T

2:12:59WANT TO CITY ON OUR STREETS BUT

2:13:01THEY'RE BEING ROLLED OUT IN

2:13:04NEIGHBORHOODS.

2:13:04IT'S OFFENSIVE, IT'S

2:13:06DISRESPECTFUL AND IT'S

2:13:18UNCONTIONABLE.

2:13:18THAT'S WHAT THIS ORDINANCE DOES.

2:13:19THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE

2:13:21PROTECTING RESIDENTS AND THEY

2:13:23CAN IN FACT HAVE LAND USE

2:13:26DECISIONS, CAUSE I AGREE WITH

2:13:27YOU.

2:13:27I THINK IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE

2:13:31A CUP AND I THINK IT WAS

2:13:33INCORRECTLY DONE IN THIS

2:13:34JUNCTURE BUT WE'RE WORK TO GO

2:13:36CORRECT THAT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE

2:13:39PROTECTING RESIDENTS AND

2:13:40NEIGHBORHOODS A XROS THE CITY.

2:13:42SO I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF

2:13:44THIS AND COLLEAGUES, I ASK FOR

2:13:46YOUR AYE-VOTE.

2:13:46>> Council President: THANK YOU

2:13:48COUNCILMEMBER.

2:13:49COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN?

2:13:49>> N. Raman: ANYWAY, I'M NOT

2:13:56DISAGREEING COUNCILMEMBER

2:13:57McOSKER THESE ISSUE.

2:13:59I'M STICKING WITH WITH THE MY

2:14:00VOTE ON THE COMMITTEE BUT THIS

2:14:02IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT

2:14:04REQUIRES MORE SPEED AND MORE

2:14:06CONSIDERATION IF IT NEEDS TO BE

2:14:08A C.U.P., I'M FINE WITH THAT.

2:14:10THE WORK JUST NEEDS TO BE

2:14:11FORWARD.

2:14:12AND THAT'S MY FRUSTRATION WITH

2:14:14SOME OF THESE ISSUES THAT HAVE

2:14:16TAKEN A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE

2:14:17DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS.

2:14:19AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE

2:14:21DISAGREEMENT WITH THE PREMISE

2:14:21OF THIS MOTION IS.

2:14:22>> T. McOsker: IT IS A

2:14:24DISAGREEMENT.

2:14:25IT IS A DISAGREEMENT AND IT

2:14:25WILL PASS.

2:14:28MORATORIUM IS DOING WHAT IT'S

2:14:30INTENDED TO DO.

2:14:31IT'S PREVENTING THE FURTHER

2:14:33OFFENSE OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

2:14:34I HAVE THE HIGHEST INCIDENTS OF

2:14:36CRIME THAT ARE BEING COMMITTED

2:14:38ON PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE NATURE

2:14:39IN WHICH THEY, THE NATURE IN

2:14:41WHICH THEY'RE LIVING.

2:14:44THINK ABOUT THE INCIDENCE OF

2:14:47CRIME OF FOLKS IN INCAMPMENT,

2:14:51THEY'RE COMMITTING CRIMES

2:14:51AGAINST ONE ANOTHER AND BEING

2:14:53PREYED ON.

2:14:55THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY

2:14:56DISTRICT TODAY.

2:14:58AND THE MORATORIUM, LASTING TWO

2:15:02YEARS AS AUTHORIZED UNDERSTATE

2:15:03LAW IS PERFECTLY FAIR AND IS

2:15:07ACTUALLY SERVING ITS PURPOSE.

2:15:08AND TO SAY THAT THEY SHOULD

2:15:10MOVE FASTER IS JUST COMPLETE

2:15:12MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE

2:15:14COMMUNITY NEEDS TODAY.

2:15:15>> Council President: ALL RIGHT.

2:15:16THANK YOU SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

2:15:17LET'S OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE

2:15:20ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE.

2:15:24>> Clerk: 13 AYES.

2:15:261 NO.

2:15:26>> Council President: WHAT'S

2:15:27NEXT?

2:15:28>> Clerk: NEXT IS ITEM NUMBER

2:15:3020 CALLED SPECIAL BY

2:15:32COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD.

2:15:32>> B. Blumenfield: GREAT, THANK

2:15:34YOU.

2:15:36I DO, I WANT TO START BY

2:15:38THANKING MR. HUGO

2:15:41SOTO-MARTINEZ, I'VE ALWAYS SAID

2:15:43I NEVER MET A 245 THAT I DIDN'T

2:15:45LIKE AND YOU HAVE INTRODUCED ME

2:15:47TO LIKE.

2:15:47>> Council President: I KNEW

2:15:49THERE WOULD BE A DAY.

2:15:50>> B. Blumenfield: YES, SO THAT

2:15:52DAY HAS COME.

2:16:08WE SPENT ALL OF THIS TIME

2:16:10TRYING TO GET CAMERAS UP AND

2:16:12TRYING TO GET THIS PILOT GOING.

2:16:25WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT FOR

2:16:27THIS SAFETY, IT IS JUST IT IS

2:16:28BEEN A VERY SLOW PROCESS.

2:16:31WE GOT THE, IT WAS FLOCKED UP

2:16:32FOR A WHILE.

2:17:04THAT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON

2:17:05AND TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS.

2:17:23IT'S NOT REALLY THE TOOL.

2:17:24I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT A

2:17:26MOTION TO FOR US TO EXAM THE

2:17:29POLICY AND TO BRING IT TO

2:17:31COMMITTEE AND HAVE ALL OF THAT

2:17:32DISCUSSION BUT I DON'T WANT TO

2:17:34SLOW DOWN THIS PILOT PROCESS

2:17:37THAT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR

2:17:38A VERY LONG TIME AND DONE WORK

2:17:40ON.

2:17:41THE OTHER ASPECT THE COMMISSION

2:17:42DID WHAT THEY ASKED THEM TO DO.

2:17:44WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE FLOCK

2:17:46CONTRACT.

2:17:47WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE

2:17:48PRIVACY ISSUE, THEY GOT RID OF

2:17:50THAT, THEY INCORPORATED THE KEY

2:17:52ELEMENTS INTO THED POLICY.

2:17:54AND IT'S A SHORT-TERM

2:17:57THREE-MONTH PROGRAM.

2:18:00LET'S MY REQUESTS IS THAT WE

2:18:03WOULD REJECT THIS 245.

2:18:05WE WOULD LET THE PILOT MOVE

2:18:06FORWARD AND WE CAN HAVE

2:18:09DISCUSSIONS REAL DISCUSSIONS IN

2:18:11COMMITTEE AND IN COUNCIL ABOUT

2:18:12THE POLICY.

2:18:13SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO

2:18:14BRING THE DEPARTMENT UP TO TALK

2:18:16ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IS BEFORE

2:18:18US, BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS

2:18:20CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT IS BEFORE

2:18:22US BECAUSE, I WANT EVERYONE,

2:18:25AROUND THIS HORSESHOE TO

2:18:26UNDERSTAND THAT THE VOTE BEFORE

2:18:28US IS ABOUT A THREE-MONTH PILOT.

2:18:32SO WE'LL START BY GETTING THAT

2:18:34IF YOU CAN, TELL US WHO YOU ARE

2:18:36AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

2:18:37WHAT IS BEFORE US AND WHAT IS

2:18:39NOT BEFORE US.

2:18:40>> Speaker: SURE, GOOD MORNING,

2:18:41COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:18:43HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE CITY

2:18:44COUNCIL.

2:18:44MY NAME IS DEAN I'M THE

2:18:47COMMANDING OFFICER SFT LAPD

2:18:49INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BUREAU

2:18:51AND THE DEPARTMENT CHIEF

2:18:52INFORMATION OFFICER.

2:18:53MANY OF YOU HAVE INFORMED

2:18:56RESENT NATIONAL DISCUSSIONS

2:18:58REGARDING AUTOMATED LICENSE

2:19:00PLATE READERS OR ALPRs AND

2:19:02TODAY IS REALLY ABOUT A COUPLE

2:19:05OF DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.

2:19:06ONE LIVE TECHNOLOGY IS

2:19:08IMPORTANT WHAT MATTERS IN TERMS

2:19:09OF CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE TO

2:19:12OUR DATA PROTECTIONS TO PROTECT

2:19:13THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS AND

2:19:16HOW THAT FRAMEWORK IS GOING TO

2:19:17BE MOVED FORWARD.

2:19:18I DO WANT TO START TO LEVEL SET

2:19:21THE KNOWLEDGE, AT THE CORE ALPR

2:19:25FUNCTIONALITY THAT LAPD USES

2:19:27CAPTURES IMAGES OF VEHICLES AND

2:19:29LICENSE PLATES, INFORMATION

2:19:30THAT IT RECORDS THE DATE AND

2:19:31TIME AND LOCATION.

2:19:32IT DOES NOT INCLUDE FACIAL

2:19:34RECOGNITION, IT DOES NOT

2:19:38INCLUDE BIOMETRIC, AUDIO

2:19:43RECORDING OR ANY PERSON FOCUS

2:19:45ANALYTICS.

2:19:46IT CANNOT ACCESS INFORMATION

2:19:49REGARDING REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES

2:19:51GENDER AFFIRMING CARE OR ANY

2:19:53IDENTITIES THAT ARE PROHIBITED

2:19:55AND PROTECTED UNDERSTATE LAW.

2:19:56WHAT IS BEFORE YOU IS A

2:19:59THREE-MONTH PILOT PROGRAM.

2:20:01IT'S TO TEST AND VALIDATE THE

2:20:04ABILITY FOR THE CITY AND THE

2:20:05POLICE DEPARTMENT TO USE ALPR

2:20:08TECHNOLOGY.

2:20:09IT'S A TEST OF TECHNOLOGY TO

2:20:11SEE WHETHER IT SUITS THE NEEDS

2:20:12OF THE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS

2:20:14THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES

2:20:15WHO ARE ASKING FOR THEM.

2:20:17OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS,

2:20:19WE'VE LISTENED TO MANY CONCERNS

2:20:21RAISED BY CITY COUNCIL OFFICES,

2:20:23THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, THE POLICE

2:20:26COMMISSION, OFFICE OF INSPECT

2:20:27OR GENERAL AND EVEN OUR

2:20:31DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP.

2:20:31AND WHAT IS BEFORE YOU A

2:20:34RESTRUCTURE AND REFINED PROCESS.

2:20:35WE HAVE WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY

2:20:39WITH ONE PARTICULAR VENDOR AXON

2:20:41IN THIS CASE AND OUR CITY

2:20:44ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHO HAS MADE

2:20:46CHANGES TO PROTECT THE DATA

2:20:48SAFEGUARDS AND CONCERNS THAT

2:20:50HAVE HAVE COME UP.

2:20:51THIS IS A VERY ROBUST M.O. U

2:20:54AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT SETS THE

2:20:57FRAMEWORK FOR CONDUCTING

2:20:59BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.

2:21:00AS WE WORK WITH OTHER VENDORS

2:21:01WHO WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH

2:21:03THE CITY, THIS LAYS OUT THE

2:21:05FOUNDATIONAL LEVEL, THE MINIMUM

2:21:06STANDARDS THAT WOULD BE

2:21:08REQUIRED IN ANY AGREEMENT IN

2:21:09ORDER TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE

2:21:10CITY.

2:21:13EFFECTIVELY ALLOWS US TO TELL A

2:21:15VENDOR IF YOU WANT TO DO

2:21:17BUSINESS WITH THE CITY, THIS IS

2:21:18THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

2:21:20IF IT'S NOT WHAT THEY MEET,

2:21:23THEY VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO NOT

2:21:24TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.

2:21:26WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENTING

2:21:29CHANGES TO OUR BUT THAT'S

2:21:31OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF MOU,

2:21:35MOU IS ABOUT TESTING THE

2:21:36CAMERAS WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND

2:21:38CITY.

2:21:38AND ONCE THAT'S VALIDATED, WE

2:21:40WOULD THEN COME BACK TO THE

2:21:41COMMISSION FOR A MORE MORALIZED

2:21:43PLAN OF HOW WE WOULD IMPLEMENT

2:21:46ADDITIONAL SERIES AND I'LL STOP

2:21:47THERE AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

2:21:49YOU MAY HAVE.

2:21:50>> Council President: THANK

2:21:50YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

2:21:52AS I SAID, I WAITED SO LONG AND

2:21:55I WANT TO GET SOME CAMERAS UP.

2:21:57MY COMMUNITY HAS ASKED FOR

2:21:58THAT, WE PUT THE MONEY IN, WE

2:22:00VOTED ON THE MONEY FOR THAT.

2:22:02AND THIS IS A POLICY THAT WE

2:22:04CAN BE ADDING TO AS WE GO.

2:22:06WE CAN LEARN FROM THIS PILOT.

2:22:08SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT

2:22:11YOU WERE HERE SO YOU CAN ANSWER

2:22:13QUESTIONS OF MY COLLEAGUES BUT

2:22:15MY REQUEST IS WE DO NOT 245

2:22:18THIS DECISION ON THE PILOT.

2:22:21>> Council President: THANK

2:22:23YOU, COUNCILMEMBER

2:22:23SOTO-MARTINEZ.

2:22:24>> H. Soto-Martinez: THANK YOU

2:22:25MR. BLUMENFIELD.

2:22:27I TAKE GREAT HONOR IN BEING THE

2:22:29FIRST PERSON TO BREAK YOUR RULE

2:22:33ON LAST 13 YEAR OF SERVICE.

2:22:37I BELIEVE BOTH GO HAND AND HAND.

2:22:40THIS IS AN MOU THAT WAS DONE

2:22:42WITH AXON BUT THE POLICY AND

2:22:44WORK GO HAND AND HAND SO I

2:22:46DON'T THINK WE CAN SEPARATE THE

2:22:49TWO.

2:22:50CAN YOU PLEASE DESCRIBE DURING

2:22:52THIS, SHOULD IT GO WITH THE

2:22:54PILOT PROCESS, WHAT ACCESS WILL

2:22:56CURRENT SWORN POLICE OFFICERS

2:22:58HAVE TO THE INFORMATION THE

2:23:00CAMERAS AND ALL THE OTHER

2:23:01THINGS THAT THEY NORMALLY HAVE

2:23:03ACCESS TO.

2:23:04>> ABSOLUTELY, FIRST OFF, I

2:23:06JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS

2:23:11THE PILOT MUO MOVES FORWARD,

2:23:12THIS IS THE BASE LINE THAT

2:23:16VENDORS WOULD REQUIRE.

2:23:18NO NO UNAUTHORIZED SECONDARY

2:23:20USE, NO SHARING OF INFORMATION,

2:23:22THE CITY PRESERVES A COMPLETE

2:23:24AND TOTAL OWNERSHIP OF THE DATA.

2:23:26WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESS OF

2:23:28INFORMATION, WE'RE GOING TO BE

2:23:30REDUCING OUR TIME FRAME THAT

2:23:32OFFICERS HAVE ACCESS TO THE

2:23:34SYSTEM.

2:23:35AND I MIGHT ADD, OFFICERS DO

2:23:38NOT HAVE UNIVERSAL ACCESS,

2:23:40THERE IS ONLY A POOL, IT

2:23:42REQUIRES AUTHORIZATION AND

2:23:43TRAINING.

2:23:45THAT REDUCTION BASED ON OUR

2:23:47PROPOSED POLICY THAT THE

2:23:48COMMISSION APPROVED WILL BE

2:23:50REDUCED TO 90 DAYS OF ACCESS

2:23:53WITH A 12-MONTH MAXIMUM ABILITY

2:23:55TO GO BACK IN TIME AND BE

2:23:58BEYOND 90 DAYS WOULD REQUIRE A

2:24:02HIGHER LEVEL COMMAND LEVEL

2:24:03APPROVAL TO CONDUCT THAT SEARCH.

2:24:05>> H. Soto-Martinez: WHEN YOU

2:24:08SAY, 90 DAYS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

2:24:11>> Speaker: ESSENTIALLY, THE

2:24:12OFFICERS WOULD HAVE AN ABILITY

2:24:13TO SEARCH FOR THE DATA GOING

2:24:16BACK 90 DAYS, AND THAT WOULD BE

2:24:17THE MAXIMUM.

2:24:20>> H. Soto-Martinez: WHAT IS

2:24:21THE TRAINING REQUIREMENT TO DO

2:24:22THESE QUAER HE'S?

2:24:24>> Speaker: THERE IS A FIRST

2:24:26NEED AND RIGHT TO KNOW.

2:24:27THERE HAS TO BE THE NEXUS TO

2:24:31THE OFFICER'S ROLE AND FUNCTION.

2:24:32ONCE THAT IS APPROVED BY

2:24:34SUPERVISOR TRAINING TAKE PLACE

2:24:36WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.

2:24:38IT'S ESSENTIALLY ONLINE VIDEO

2:24:40TRAINING SERIES.

2:24:40THERE IS A TEST REQUIREMENT AS

2:24:41PART OF THAT SERIES AND ONCE

2:24:44THEY PASS THAT, THEY BECOME AN

2:24:46AUTHORIZED USER OF THE SYSTEM.

2:24:48>> H. Soto-Martinez: AND THE

2:24:51THEY RECOMMENDED A LAPD SUSPEND

2:24:54THE DEPLOYMENT OF NEW AORP

2:25:00CAMERAS AND BROADER

2:25:03REASSESSMENT OF VENDORS.

2:25:05ARE THERE REPORTS THAT DOCUMENT

2:25:08THIS PROCESS AND DATA PROCESS

2:25:10CONSIDERED ALONG WITH THE PROS

2:25:11AND CONS?

2:25:12>> Speaker: THERE ARE, I'LL

2:25:14ALSO LEAN TO OUR, EXECUTIVE

2:25:16DIRECTOR OF COMMISSION.

2:25:19BUT THE OIG CONDUCTED LISTENING

2:25:21SESSION THAT WAS SPREAD OVER AT

2:25:23LEAST TWO DIFFERENT DAYS AND

2:25:25SEVERAL TIME PERIOD.

2:25:28THAT RESULTS OF THE, LISTENING

2:25:34SESSION WAS PUBLISHED BY.OIG

2:25:36AND AVAILABLE ONLINE.

2:25:37>> H. Soto-Martinez: OKAY.

2:25:39AND THEN YOU LAID OUT A NUMBER

2:25:41OF CHANGES THAT YOU SAY LAPD

2:25:42WILL IMPLEMENT WHEN YOU

2:25:43PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF

2:25:46POLICE COMMISSIONERS, WHEN WILL

2:25:47THOSE BE IMPLEMENTED AND

2:25:49PRESENTED IN WRITING TO THE

2:25:50BOARD?

2:25:51>> Speaker: SO THO WOULD BE

2:25:53PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION

2:25:54THAT'S WE HAD THE COMMISSION

2:25:56ALSO INCLUDE CHANGES THAT WE'RE

2:25:57ASKING VENDORS TO DO.

2:25:58SOME OF THESE CHANGES THE

2:26:00VENDORS ARE ABLE TO DO

2:26:02IMMEDIATELY AND OTHERS MAY TAKE

2:26:03A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

2:26:04THEY MAY TAKE A FEW MONTHS TO

2:26:06WORK ON VENDOR.

2:26:08WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHETHER

2:26:09THE VENDORS CAN MEET THAT OR

2:26:11NOT, BECAUSE IF THEY CANNOT, WE

2:26:13NEED TO DO.

2:26:13PART PERIOD OF TIME PILOT

2:26:17PROCESS IS TO, PROCEED WITH THE

2:26:23IMPLEMENTATION, DETERMINING

2:26:23WHAT CHANGES WE CAN GET SUPPORT

2:26:25AND WHAT CHANGES WE NEED TO

2:26:28MAKE INTERNALLY.

2:26:29SO BY THE END OF THE PILOT WE

2:26:31CAN GET A CONFIRMED FOR FINAL

2:26:33APPROVAL.

2:26:34>> H. Soto-Martinez: SO YOU'RE

2:26:39DESCRIBING THAT THE POLICY MAY

2:26:42INFORM THE MUO.

2:26:44>> WELL THE MOU IS SET.

2:26:47WHAT WILL CHANGE IS ITEMS

2:26:50RELATED TO OUR POLICY THAT

2:26:52WOULD REQUIRE ANY ADJUSTMENT.

2:26:54WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY

2:26:56DILIGENTLY WITHIN THE

2:26:57DEPARTMENT AND WITH OUR

2:26:58VENDORS, WE HAVE EVERY REASON

2:26:59TO BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD BE

2:27:01ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE

2:27:03RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE

2:27:04PROVIDED BUT WE NEED TO

2:27:05IMPLEMENT THAT.

2:27:07>> H. Soto-Martinez: AND CAN

2:27:09YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE HAVE YOU

2:27:11THOUGHT THROUGH A POLICY THAT,

2:27:13ANYWAY, WHY IS IT THAT, WHY ARE

2:27:16YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE MOVE

2:27:18FORWARD WITH THE MOU BEFORE WE

2:27:20HAVE THE WRITTEN POLICY FOR OUR

2:27:22DEPARTMENT?

2:27:22>> Speaker: AS I MENTIONED PART

2:27:25OF THE MOU PROCESS IS TO TEST

2:27:27THE CAMERAS.

2:27:28DO THEY DO WHAT THEY SAY

2:27:29THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE

2:27:31CITY AND THE DEPARTMENT?

2:27:32AS WE IMPLEMENT THE POLICY,

2:27:34PART OF IT IS IMPLEMENTING THE

2:27:37CHANGES THAT GO ACROSS THE

2:27:38DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THAT THOSE

2:27:40POLICIES CHANGES CAN BE

2:27:42IMPLEMENTED AND EFFECTIVELY

2:27:43DONE.

2:27:44ONE OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT

2:27:46WE'RE DOING IS TRANSPARENCY AND

2:27:48ACCOUNTABILITY IN TERMS OF

2:27:49AUDITS.

2:27:51WE'RE ADJUSTING OUR AUDIT

2:27:52PROGRAM.

2:27:53SO PART OF THAT IS THE

2:27:55IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AUDITING

2:27:57PIECE.

2:27:57>>

2:27:58>> AND TO YOUR POINT

2:28:00COUNCILMEMBER IN ORDER FOR US

2:28:02TO LOOK AT THE BEST PRACTICES,

2:28:04WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE

2:28:05TECHNOLOGY CAN DO.

2:28:07THE VENDOR IS DRAMATICALLY

2:28:09ADJUSTING THE BACK END OF THE

2:28:11USER INTERFACE AND THE DATA

2:28:13THAT WE CAN DO TO DO

2:28:15INSPECTIONS AND AUDIT AND LOOK

2:28:18FOR ANOMALIES.

2:28:20TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

2:28:21TECHNOLOGY IS BEING USED

2:28:23CORRECTLY AT ITS ACCOUNTABILITY.

2:28:25SO THIS PILOT ALLOWS TO WORK

2:28:27WITH THE VENDOR TO MAKE THE

2:28:29TECHNOLOGY BETTER SO THERE IS

2:28:30MORE OVER TIME AND

2:28:32ACCOUNTABILITY TO MAKE SURE

2:28:33IT'S BEING USED IN THE PROPER

2:28:35WAY.

2:28:35BUT WITHOUT THE MOU AND MOVING

2:28:37FORWARD WITH THE PILOT, IT DOES

2:28:38NOT GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DO

2:28:40THAT.

2:28:40>> H. Soto-Martinez: I SEE THE

2:28:43OTHER WAY.

2:28:44I THINK THE POLICY, WE SHOULD

2:28:46HAVE THE POLICY FIRST AND THEN

2:28:48TELL THE VENDOR FIRST, THIS IS

2:28:49WHAT WE WANT TO YOU DO.

2:28:50I DON'T THINK IT'S--I JUST

2:28:53DISAGREE.

2:28:53I THINK THE POLICY IS MORE

2:28:56IMPORTANT THAN PRACTICING YOU

2:28:58KNOW, WITHOUT THIS BODY

2:28:59DESCRIBING WHAT THEY WANT TO

2:29:00SEE.

2:29:01YOU TALK ABOUT AUDIT.

2:29:03WHEN IS THE LAST TIME WE DID A

2:29:05FULL AUDIT OF THE SYSTEM?

2:29:06>> WELL WE HAD A FULL AUDIT BY

2:29:09THE OFFICE OF INSPECT OR

2:29:11GENERAL AND THAT WAS PRESENTED

2:29:13AT THE COMMISSION.

2:29:16OUR INTERNAL AUDITS, YOR THE

2:29:18TIME FRAME BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS

2:29:19LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, TWO

2:29:21YEARS AGO.

2:29:22>> H. Soto-Martinez: OKAY, AND

2:29:23I UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE, HAVE WE

2:29:27HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH

2:29:28JURISDICTIONS CORRECT?

2:29:29>> WE DO HAVE SOME CORRECT.

2:29:31>> H. Soto-Martinez: OKAY AND

2:29:33CAN YOU NAME THE JURISDICTIONS

2:29:35WE WITH?

2:29:36>> WE HAVE THAT LIST.

2:29:38>> H. Soto-Martinez: OKAY, ANY

2:29:40UNDERSTANDING IS KERN COUNTY,

2:29:44ORANGE RIVERSIDE, AN LOUIS, AND

2:29:46VENTURA COUNTIES.

2:29:47>> NO, WHAT I THINK YOU HEARD

2:29:49FROM THE COMMISSION MEETING

2:29:50WHERE WE WERE GOING TO CHANGE

2:29:52THE POLICY ON SHARING.

2:29:54SO FOR, EXAMPLE OUR

2:29:56RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD

2:29:57ON DATA SHARING IS THAT ONLY

2:30:00ADJACENT COUNTIES WITHIN A

2:30:03CERTAIN DIAMETRE WOULD HAVE

2:30:05ACCESS TO OUR SYSTEM AND THOSE

2:30:09BEYOND THAT RADIUS, FOR EXAMPLE

2:30:11NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOULD NO

2:30:13LONGER HAVE ACCESS.

2:30:14>> AND SO, DOES IT, SO IT MAY

2:30:17NOT INCLUDE KERN?

2:30:19DOES IT INCLUDE ORANGE,

2:30:20RIVERSIDE SAN BERNARDINO?

2:30:21>> THERE ARE SOME VERY SPECIFIC

2:30:24AGENCIES THAT EXIST, I THINK WE

2:30:27HAVE ABOUT 15 OR SO AGENCIES

2:30:29THAT WE DO SHARING WITH.

2:30:32I KNOW, MOUNTAIN VIEW UP IN

2:30:34NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

2:30:36>> H. Soto-Martinez: CAN WE

2:30:38NAME THEM?

2:30:38>> GIVE ME A SECOND.

2:30:40>> H. Soto-Martinez: SURE.

2:30:43WHEN IS THE LAST TIME WE DID AN

2:30:46AUDIT FROM THE INQUIRIES.

2:30:50>> SO WE DO MONTHLY INSPECTION.

2:30:52THERE IS A FORMAL AUDIT WHICH

2:30:55IS EXTERNAL TO THE OPERATION

2:30:56THAT WE MANAGE AND THEN THERE

2:30:58IS INSPECTIONS THAT WE DO

2:31:00INTERNALLY.

2:31:01THOSE INSPECTIONS WE DO MONTHLY

2:31:03AND THE MONTHLY DO INCLUDE ANY

2:31:05USE OF THE SYSTEM.

2:31:08THE EXTERNAL AUDITS, IN TERMS

2:31:10OF THE OIG AUDIT.

2:31:11I DON'T KNOW IF THEY INCLUDED

2:31:15ANYTHING FROM OUTSIDE THE

2:31:16JURISDICTION.

2:31:17THAT IS ONE OF THE PROPOSED

2:31:19CHANGES OF COURSE.

2:31:20THEY WOULD BE VERY SPECIFIC AND

2:31:22REQUIRE AUDITS OF INTERNAL USE

2:31:25MEANING BY THE CITY AND LAPD

2:31:27AND VERY SPECIFIC AUDITS OF

2:31:28EXTERNAL USE.

2:31:30THOSE BY AGENCIES THAT HAVE

2:31:31BEEN ALLOWED INTO THE SYSTEM.

2:31:33>> H. Soto-Martinez: AND THAT'S

2:31:35INTERNAL POLICY?

2:31:36>> THAT IS RIGHT OF THE

2:31:38INTERNAL BUT PART OF THE

2:31:40RELATIONSHIP WITH WITH THE OIG

2:31:43OFFICE.

2:31:45OUT OF LAPD.

2:31:47>> ALL RIGHT TORE NOTS HUNT

2:31:51TINGE PARK, HAYWARD POLICE

2:31:53DEPARTMENT, SIGNIFICANT NAL

2:31:55POLICE DEPARTMENT, SAN LOUIS

2:32:00OBISPO POLICE DEPARTMENT,

2:32:02ALHAMBRA POLICE DEPARTMENT,

2:32:04WEST COVINA POLICE DEPARTMENT,

2:32:06LA MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT, LOS

2:32:08ANGELES PORT POLICE, GLENDALE

2:32:10POLICE DEPARTMENT.

2:32:10>> H. Soto-Martinez: ALL RIGHT,

2:32:13THANK YOU.

2:32:15THE LAST TIME WE DID IN AUDIT

2:32:18INTERNALLY WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO

2:32:20AND A HALF, AND YOU WE HAVE NOT

2:32:24DONE THAT ONE FOR THE 15?

2:32:27>> WHAT WE DO SAT INFORMATION

2:32:30BUREAU.

2:33:02TO RUN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT

2:33:05WAY IS OFFER RUNNING THE SAME

2:33:07PLATE OVER AND OVER AND

2:33:09MULTIPLE PLATES THAT EXCEED THE

2:33:11THRESHOLD FOR WHAT AN AVERAGE

2:33:13OFFICER IS DOING.

2:33:13IT GIVES US THE ABILITY AND

2:33:15LOOK INTO THE SPECIFIC CASES BY

2:33:17WORKING WITH AXON TO MAKE THAT

2:33:20DATA MORE ROBUST SO WE CAN HAVE

2:33:22MORE OVER SITE.

2:33:23>> H. Soto-Martinez: RIGHT.

2:33:25I JUST BELIEVE THE OVERSIGHT

2:33:26AND POLICY NEEDS TO BE PUT

2:33:28FIRST AND THEN THE VENDOR

2:33:29SHOULD BE ABLE TO MEET THAT, OR

2:33:31WE'LL FIND ANOTHER VENDOR.

2:33:32FRANKLY.

2:33:33WELL THERE IS A LOT MORE

2:33:35QUESTIONS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF

2:33:36THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS ON THE

2:33:38QUEUE.

2:33:38YEAH.

2:33:39I'LL COME BACK TO THIS.

2:33:41>> Council President:

2:33:41COUNCILMEMBER PARK.

2:33:42>> T. Park: THANK YOU, COUNCIL

2:33:48PRESIDENT.

2:33:51I'M GRATEFUL TO LAPD FOR BEING

2:33:53HERE TODAY AND PROVIDING AN

2:33:55OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO HAVE

2:33:57THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

2:33:58BECAUSE, I THINK YOU ALL ARE

2:34:01AWARE, OUR STAFFING AND LAPD

2:34:03HAS PLUMMETED TO ABOUT 8500

2:34:05OFFICERS AND THE CHIEF HAS PUT

2:34:08OUT SOS AFTER SO S ABOUT THE

2:34:13NEED THOR TOOLS TO FORCE

2:34:18AMPLIFY OR UNDER STAFF

2:34:21DEPARTMENT ESPECIALLY WITH

2:34:22MAJOR WORLD EVENTS ON THE

2:34:23HORIZON.

2:34:24AND YOU KNOW FOR THOSE OF YOU

2:34:27WHO ARE LEGLY LOOK AT THE DATA

2:34:29ON THIS, YOU KNOW THERE IS

2:34:32BASICALLY NO PROACTIVE POLICING

2:34:35HAPPENING ANYWHERE IN THE CITY,

2:34:39OUR PATROL OFFICERS ARE MOVING

2:34:41FROM ONE HIGH PRIORITY CALL TO

2:34:43ANOTHER.

2:34:44WHICH MEANS MANY LOW PRIORITY

2:34:46CALLS ARE NOT GETTING ANY

2:34:48RESPOND AND MOST CRIMES NOT

2:34:50GETTING REPORTED BECAUSE OF

2:34:51LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS.

2:34:54BACK IN 2024, AFTER ONE WEEKEND

2:34:56WHERE WE HAD MORE THAN 50 BREAK

2:34:59INS, IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ONE

2:35:01MY COUNCIL DISTRICT, I

2:35:03INTRODUCED A MOTION ASKING TO

2:35:06EXPAND OUR REALTIME CENTER

2:35:08CRIME TECHNOLOGY ACROSS OUR

2:35:10ENTIRE CITY.

2:35:11THAT MOTION WAS HEARD IN

2:35:13COMMITTEE, IT WAS HEARD BY IN

2:35:14COUNCIL, IT WAS APPROVED AND WE

2:35:17HAVE SINCE SPENT MANY MILLIONS

2:35:22INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OF OUR

2:35:25LICENSE PLATE READERS, WE'VE

2:35:26ACCEPTED MILLIONS MORE IN

2:35:28FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING TO BUILD

2:35:31OUT OUR INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

2:35:33PLATFORMS AND WE HAVE SINCE

2:35:35ALREADY ROLLED OUT MULTIPLE

2:35:38PROGRAMS INCLUDING OUR LICENSE

2:35:40PLATE READERS, OUR DRONES AS

2:35:41FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR AUTOMATED

2:35:44SPEED ENFORCEMENT, CAMERAS AND

2:35:46OTHER TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY THAT

2:35:48PROTECT OUR OFFICERS AND THE

2:35:49PUBLIC.

2:35:52THE POLICE COMMISSION HAS

2:35:55ALREADY HELD MULTIPLE HEARINGS

2:35:56ON THIS.

2:35:59THE OIG, ALREADY HELD WELL

2:36:01ATTENDED MEETINGS AND ELICITED

2:36:04COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

2:36:05THEY ALREADY GOT THIS

2:36:07INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CONTRACTS

2:36:09WITH AXON AND OUR DATA SHARING

2:36:12POLICIES BACK DURING OUR BUDGET

2:36:14HEARINGS LAST YEAR.

2:36:15AND BY THE WAY THIS IS BEEN A

2:36:16VENDOR OF THE CITY SINCE 2016.

2:36:21NONE OF THIS, IS A NEW

2:36:24CONVERSATION.

2:36:26AND IF WE, WANTED TO TAKE

2:36:29SOMETHING UP, ON A 245, WE

2:36:33PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT

2:36:34BACK IN JULY, WHEN THE

2:36:39COMMISSION INSTRUCTED THE

2:36:40CONTRACTOR MOU TO THE BOARD FOR

2:36:43APPROVAL.

2:36:44ANY MEMBER COULD HAVE TIMELY

2:36:47DONE THIS THEN BUT THAT NEVER

2:36:48HAPPENED.

2:36:51OUR OWN DEPARTMENT, OUR OWN

2:36:53COMMISSIONERS HAVE OFFERED TO

2:36:55MEET WITH INDIVIDUAL

2:36:57COUNCILMEMBERS AND ANSWER THEIR

2:36:58QUESTIONS AND INSTEAD HERE WE

2:36:59ARE TODAY WITH ANOTHER DELAY.

2:37:03SO I APPRECIATE LAPD, YOU ALL

2:37:04BEING HERE TODAY TO ANSWER

2:37:09QUESTIONS, COUNCILMEMBER

2:37:10BLUMENFIELD THANK YOU FOR

2:37:11CALLING THEM TO THE TABLE.

2:37:12I SHARE YOUR CONCERNS THE NEED

2:37:13TO GET THIS TECHNOLOGY RUN AND

2:37:16RUNNING IS URGENT.

2:37:17THANK YOU.

2:37:18>> Council President:

2:37:18COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ.

2:37:19>> E. Hernandez: THANK YOU,

2:37:21COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:37:24THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER

2:37:25SOTO-MARTINEZ FOR BRINGING THIS

2:37:26UP FOR QUESTION.

2:37:28AND I THINK THIS IS UP FOR

2:37:29QUESTION BECAUSE THIS

2:37:30TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN ABUSED BY

2:37:33POLICE OFFICER.

2:37:34THERE IS OVER 200 DOCUMENTED

2:37:37CASES OF POLICE OFFICERS

2:37:40SHERIFFS DEPUTIES, ACCESSING

2:37:42THIS INFORMATION TO STOCK

2:37:44PEOPLE, TO FOLLOW PEOPLE WHO

2:37:46HAVE LOOKED FOR GENDER

2:37:47AFFIRMING CARE.

2:37:49TO JUST FOLLOW PEOPLE.

2:37:50I DON'T, THIS CONVERSATION IS

2:37:52NOT NEW, BUT WHAT IS NEW IS ALL

2:37:55THE INFORMATION COMING OUT OF

2:37:57ABOUT THE ABUSE OF TECHNOLOGY.

2:38:01SO FORGIVE US FOR WANTING TO

2:38:03ININQUIRE MORE ABOUT DOING THIS

2:38:04IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES BUT

2:38:06IT'S IMPORTANT.

2:38:08WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING THE

2:38:11POLICE STATE THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

2:38:13IN THIS CONVERSATION.

2:38:14AND THAT SHOULD COME WITH SOME

2:38:17SERIOUS REGULATIONS BECAUSE I'M

2:38:18NOT TRYING TO CREATE A SYSTEM

2:38:20WHERE THE PLEASURE IS DW GOING

2:38:21TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO

2:38:23FOLLOW SOMEBODY, FOLLOW ME IF

2:38:25THEY'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE

2:38:26DECISIONS OR THINGS THAT I'M

2:38:28SAYING.

2:38:28THAT'S WHAT IS ON THE LINE.

2:38:30SO FOR YOU TO SAY THAT'S A

2:38:33THREE-MONTH PILOT, I'VE SEEN

2:38:35PILOTS STARTING FROM. LAPD TURN

2:38:37INTO PROGRAMS WITHOUT EVER

2:38:38COMING BACK TO US.

2:38:39FOR EXAMPLE THE ROBOT DOG.

2:38:42AND TO HEAR THAT THIS PILOT IS

2:38:44MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT THE

2:38:47SFRONG REGULATIONS AND GUARD

2:38:47RAILS THAT IS NECESSARY T I

2:38:49HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, THAT

2:38:51IS VERY CONCERNING.

2:38:52IT SHOULD CONCERN US ALL THAT

2:38:55WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

2:38:56OF HUTING THE CART BEFORE THE

2:38:58HORSE, MY DAD.

2:38:59--BAD.

2:39:00I THINK IT'S VERY IRRESPONSIBLE

2:39:02OF US TO MOVE THIS PILOT

2:39:06FORWARD WITH THOSE GUARD RAILS

2:39:08AND REGULATIONS.

2:39:09THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S

2:39:10HAPPENING IN THE CITY AND IN

2:39:11THE COUNTRY.

2:39:12SO FOR US TO SAY WE HAVE TO

2:39:15TAKE TIME TO LEARN, I

2:39:15UNDERSTAND THAT.

2:39:16BUT THERE IS ALSO A BASE LINE

2:39:18THAT WE NEED TO BRING HIGHER.

2:39:21WE CANNOT TALKING ABOUT THE

2:39:24BASE.

2:39:58THE NEXT CENTURY OF BIG BROTHER

2:40:22SO, I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT

2:40:25AND I THANK COUNCILMEMBER

2:40:26SOTO-MARTINEZ.

2:40:27>> Council President:

2:40:29COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ.

2:40:30>> H. Soto-Martinez: I COULD

2:40:32NOT AGREE MORE ABOUT PUT ING

2:40:33THE POLICY BEFORE THE MOU.

2:40:36COLLEAGUES I INTRODUCED THIS

2:40:37MOTION BECAUSE THIS ISSUE

2:40:39MATTERS TO MANY MEMBERS OF OUR

2:40:40COMMUNITY.

2:40:40I KNOW THERE IS A DIFFERENT

2:40:43OPINIONS AND I ACKNOWLEDGE THE

2:40:45USE THAT FOLKS, THE WAY

2:40:46DIFFERENT MEMBERS WANT TO USE

2:40:48THIS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE

2:40:48CITY.

2:40:49BUT I'M TRYING TO BRING UP THE

2:40:53PARTS THAT CONCERN ME.

2:40:55BUT BEFORE THAT, I DO WANT TO

2:40:57THANK A FEW FOLKS FOR WORKING

2:40:59ON THIS, THE INSPECT OR GENERAL

2:41:02FOR ENGAGING A LOT OF FEEDBACK.

2:41:04LAPD FOR ENGAGING WITH THIS

2:41:05ISSUE AND BOARD OF POLICE

2:41:07COMMISSIONERS AND EXTRA KUDOS

2:41:11FOR COMMISSIONER SCOBIN FOR

2:41:14REALLY DIGGING INTO THIS ISSUE.

2:41:16FIRST, THIS TECHNOLOGY IS

2:41:18MOVING INCREDIBLY QUICKLY.

2:41:19A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, MOST

2:41:21PEOPLE HAVE NOT HEARD,

2:41:23AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READERS

2:41:24AND WE HAVE SEEN IT ACROSS THE

2:41:26COUNTRY BEING USED FOR

2:41:31NEFARIOUS REASONS.

2:41:32IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

2:41:33IT'S BEEN TRACKED DOWN FOR

2:41:37WOMEN TO STOP ABORTIONS AND

2:41:40EVEN STOCKERS.

2:41:41IT'S BECOME SUCH A NATIONWIDE

2:41:44ISSUE THAT BOTH REPUBLICANS AND

2:41:46DEMOCRATS ARE INTRODUCING

2:41:48LEGISLATION TO GET AROUND THIS.

2:41:50THAT'S ISSUE NUMBER ONE, THE

2:41:52SECOND IS WE'RE ALLOWING THIS

2:41:54M.O. U WITHOUT PUTTING ANY

2:41:57SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE.

2:41:59WE'VE SEEN EXAMPLE AND WE CAN

2:42:01AGREE THAT THAT IS WRONG.

2:42:03AND EVEN RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T

2:42:04HAVE A THIRD PARTY THAT IS ABLE

2:42:06TO DO AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF

2:42:08WHAT IS GOING ON.

2:42:09SO WHAT I'M ASKING OF THIS BODY

2:42:11BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSLY OF

2:42:13THIS TOPIC IS TO EXERT THIS

2:42:15POWER AND BRING THIS

2:42:18CONVERSATION TO THE SAFETY

2:42:19COMMITTEE.

2:42:22I AM REMINDED THAT WE ARE THE

2:42:24DECISION-MAKERS OF THIS BODY

2:42:25AND THAT CONVERSATION DESERVES

2:42:26TO BE BROUGHT TO THE COMMITTEE

2:42:29THAT OVERSEES THIS ISSUE.

2:42:30I BELIEVE THAT WE OWE IT TO OUR

2:42:33COMMUNITIES TO ENGAGE WITH

2:42:34THIS, AND ASK THE HARD

2:42:36QUESTIONS AND DIG IN ABOUT.

2:42:38POLICIES THAT THEY'RE

2:42:39DESCRIBING THAT ARE NOT RIN

2:42:40RIGHT NOW.

2:42:41WE NEED TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS

2:42:43AND THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE AND

2:42:45I'M URGING FOLKS TO PLEASE VOTE

2:42:47YES ON EXERTING OUR POWER ON

2:42:50THIS 245.

2:42:51>> Council President:

2:42:52COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD.

2:42:52>> B. Blumenfield: THANK YOU, I

2:42:54HEAR MY COLLEAGUE SAYING WE

2:42:56SHOULD GIVE THEM MORE TIME AND

2:42:57CHANGE POLICIES.

2:42:58WELL THEY SPENT A YEAR AND A

2:43:00HALF ON THIS.

2:43:00THEY HAVE A REPORT THAT IS 98

2:43:02PAGES LONG WITH STRICT

2:43:06LIMITATIONS, WITH STRICT RULES

2:43:07ON IT, TIFF NOT BEEN HEARING

2:43:09THAT THERE IS A PARTICULAR

2:43:10PROBLEM WITH WHAT THEY HAVE

2:43:12THAT WE'RE OBJECTING TO.

2:43:14AND KEEP IN MIND, OUR 245 IS AN

2:43:18UP AND DOWN VOTE IT'S BASICALLY

2:43:20SENDING IT BACK TO COMMISSION.

2:43:22THIS IS A THREE-MONTH PILOT.

2:43:25WE CAN LEARN FROM THE PILOT GET

2:43:27THE INFORMATION THEY NEED AND

2:43:28WE CAN STILL HAVE A THOROUGH

2:43:31CONVERSATION ABOUT POLICIES AND

2:43:32OTHER THINGS WE WANT TO SEE IN

2:43:34THIS POLICY.

2:43:34BUT, TO SAY THAT THEY NEED MORE

2:43:37TIME OR THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE

2:43:40A THOROUGH JOB I DON'T THINK

2:43:42IT'S ACCURATE.

2:43:42IT'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE REPORT.

2:43:44THEY'VE DONE MUCH MORE ON THIS

2:43:46THAN YOU'LL EVER SEE.

2:43:47AND THEY DID IT BASED ON A LOT

2:43:50OF COMMENTS THAT WE ALL MADE

2:43:51AFTER WE HAD CONCERNS WITH

2:43:54FLOCK, THAT WE ALL HAD CONCERNS

2:43:57WITH PRIVACY AND WE RAISED THE

2:43:59ISSUE AND THEY DID THE RIGHT

2:44:00THING AND ADDRESSED THEM.

2:44:02NOT CUTTING OUR DEBATE OFF WE

2:44:04CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT

2:44:06CONVERSATION ROBUST

2:44:07CONVERSATION ABOUT THE POLICY

2:44:09AS OPPOSED TO A UP OR DOWN VOTE

2:44:12ON THREE-MONTH PILOT.

2:44:14OUR CONVERSATIONS ARE GOING TO

2:44:15TAKE AT LEAST THREE MONTHS, SO

2:44:17LET THEM DO THE PILOT AND GET

2:44:19THE INFORMATION DURING THE

2:44:20PILOT AND WE CAN HAVE THE

2:44:21DISCUSSION DURING THAT TIME.

2:44:22I ASK FOR YOUR NO-VOTE ON 245.

2:44:26>> Council President:

2:44:26COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ.

2:44:27>> E. Hernandez: JUST A QUICK

2:44:28QUESTION.

2:44:28I'M SORRY.

2:44:30FOR THESE OTHER JURISDICTION

2:44:31THAT'S CURRENTLY HAVE ACCESS,

2:44:33HOW ARE THEY, DO THEY AUDITED?

2:44:37HOW DO WE KNOW IF THEY'RE

2:44:39MISUSING THE TECHNOLOGY?

2:44:40>> SO THAT IS PART OF THE

2:44:42CHANGES THAT WE'RE MAKING TO

2:44:43THE POLICY THAT THE AUDIT WILL

2:44:48XLU, ALL AUDITED OF THE ACCESS

2:44:50TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES HAVE.

2:44:52FOR OUTSIDE AGENCIES IT IS

2:44:53GOING TO BE BEYOND AREAS THAT

2:44:56REFERRED TO BY COUNCILMEMBER

2:44:58SOTO-MARTINEZ.

2:44:59ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY,

2:45:01THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS.

2:45:03>> E. Hernandez: THAT WHAT

2:45:04YOU'RE SAYING IS GOING TO

2:45:06HAPPEN AFTER THE MOU IS SIGNED?

2:45:08>> YES, AS WE IMPLEMENT THE

2:45:10MOU, EXACTLY.

2:45:12>> THANK YOU, AND THIS IS MY

2:45:14POINT, YOU'RE ABOUT TO UNLEASH

2:45:16THIS PROGRAM FOR THREE MONTHS,

2:45:17WHEN WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE

2:45:19POLICY ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO

2:45:21AUDIT AND REGULATE THE OTHER

2:45:23JURISDICTIONS THAT WILL HAVE

2:45:28ACCESS TO THIS DATA.

2:45:29THREE MONTHS IS EITHER GOING TO

2:45:31CHANGE THE GAME WHERE WE'RE

2:45:34IMPACTING AR HARMING A LOT OF

2:45:35PEOPLE OR GIVE US.

2:45:37I ASK TO YOU PLEASE MOVE THIS

2:45:39245 FORWARD AND NOT TAKE THIS

2:45:41ACCOUNT OF UNLEASH THISING DOOR

2:45:43WITH POLICIES THAT HAVE BEEN

2:45:44DESCRIBED THAT ARE STILL NEEDED

2:45:45IN THIS ROOM.

2:45:46>> Council President: ALL

2:45:47RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH

2:45:49MEMBERS AND MR. SOTO-MARTINEZ

2:45:50FOR BRINGING IN AND THANK YOU

2:45:52MR. BLUMENFIELD FOR LEADING

2:45:54THIS DISCUSSION, MAKING SURE

2:45:56THAT LAPD WAS HERE TO ANSWER

2:45:57THE QUESTIONS BEFORE US TODAY.

2:45:59YOU KNOW, MEMBERS, THIS I THINK

2:46:02YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GOOD POINTS

2:46:04WERE MADE ON BOTH SIDES.

2:46:06I WILL SAY TO THIS COUNCIL, YOU

2:46:09KNOW, I HAD CAMERAS UP ON

2:46:12FIGUEROA BOULEVARD ON THE PART

2:46:15OF FIGUEROA FOR STREET

2:46:20PROSTITUTION FOR SEVERAL YEARS

2:46:21AND WENT THROUGH I'M PROUD AND

2:46:23WILL STAND BY THE FACT THAT

2:46:25WE'VE RESCUED THIS YEAR ALONE

2:46:28125 MINORS THAT WERE BEING

2:46:32TRAFFICKED FOR SEX ON THAT

2:46:34BOULEVARD.

2:46:35NOW HAVING SAID THAT, I DON'T

2:46:38KNOW WHAT ELSE THE AM RAZ ARE

2:46:40DOING.

2:46:41WE PUT THEM UP THERE FOR THAT

2:46:44SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

2:46:46SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IN AN

2:46:47ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE'RE IN,

2:46:50WHERE WE, DON'T GET TO THESE

2:46:53THESE CONVERSATIONS ENOUGH

2:46:53WHERE THE PUBLIC DIALOGUE

2:46:57AROUND POLICING IS DOUBLE OR

2:46:58TRIPLE THE SIZE OF THE

2:46:59DEPARTMENT OR ABOLISH THE

2:47:01POLICE.

2:47:04THOSE ARE EXTREMES, BUT THAT'S

2:47:06THE DEBATE.

2:47:07PEOPLE GOD HERE TODAY AND THEY

2:47:10SAID THEY WANTED EITHER OF

2:47:12THOSE THINGS.

2:47:13NEITHER OF THOSE ARE LIKELY TO

2:47:16HAPPEN.

2:47:16THE REALITY IS TECHNOLOGY IS

2:47:17GOING TO PLAY A BIG ROLE AND

2:47:20THIS COUNCIL, WE NEED TO GET IN

2:47:21FRONT OF THAO.

2:47:22AND BY THE WAY, NOT JUST FOR

2:47:25POLICING, BECAUSE SANITATION

2:47:26WORKERS ARE SAYING, COUNCILMAN

2:47:28IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT

2:47:29IF I CAN SEND A DRONE BEFORE I

2:47:34DROVE A TRUCK AND REALIZED I

2:47:35DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT.

2:47:37SO WHAT IS THAT CAMERA GOING TO

2:47:39BE DOING?

2:47:40THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO

2:47:42BE ANSWERED.

2:47:43I THINK THE PRIVACY CONCERNS

2:47:45AND ALL OF IT, REQUIRE US TO BE

2:47:49AS CAREFUL AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

2:47:52THAT BEING SAID I UNDERSTAND

2:47:53MR. BLUMENFIELD BECAUSE I'VE

2:47:55GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF

2:47:56TRYING TO GET THE CAMERAS UP

2:47:58AND THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS

2:48:01ANOTHER DELAY WHEN YOU GET TO

2:48:02THE TAIL END.

2:48:04SO THIS 245 BE SUCCESSFUL, I'M

2:48:06COMMITTED THAT WE'LL BRING THIS

2:48:08BACK TO COUNCIL NO LATER BUT

2:48:12I'M EXCITE COMMITTED TO DO

2:48:15BECAUSE I EMPATHETIC IN TRYING

2:48:18TO GET THIS INTER VEX.

2:48:21--INTERVENTION.

2:48:23I THINK THIS COUNCIL SHOULD AIR

2:48:25ON THE SIDE OF REVIEW.

2:48:27I'LL SUPPORT IT.

2:48:28WE'LL PUT IT UP FOR A VOTE.

2:48:30AFTER WE HEAR FROM A

2:48:31BLUMENFIELD.

2:48:32>> B. Blumenfield: THE CAMERAS

2:48:34YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WERE TAKEN

2:48:37DPOUN BECAUSE THEY'RE FLOCK

2:48:40CAMERAS SO THEY CANNOT GO BACK

2:48:42UP BY THIS PROCESS.

2:48:44SO WE'RE DELAYING PUTTING THE

2:48:46CAMERAS WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT

2:48:48THEM.

2:48:48THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

2:48:50SO EYES OPEN.

2:48:52COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ.

2:48:52>> E. Hernandez: YES, BUT WE'RE

2:48:56ABOUT TO OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT

2:48:58REGULATIONS.

2:48:59WE NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT.

2:49:01LISTEN, I'M IN TRANSPORTATION

2:49:03COMMITTEE, I WAS THERE WHEN WE

2:49:04VOTED ON PUTTING CAMERAS FOR

2:49:06THE SPEEDING BUT YOU KNOW THE

2:49:08PROCESS THAT WE GOT TOOK, WAS

2:49:11TO SET SUPE THE STRONGEST

2:49:13POLICY IN MAKING SURE THAT DATA

2:49:16IS PROTECTED.

2:49:18THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING HERE.

2:49:20YES, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH

2:49:22TECHNOLOGY, THAT DOES NOT MEAN

2:49:24WE NEED TO RUSH THROUGH THE

2:49:26DOOR AND UNLEASH IT.

2:49:28THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

2:49:30SO SI SUPPORT THE 245 TO GIVE

2:49:32US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT

2:49:33CORRECTLY.

2:49:34>> Council President:

2:49:35COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ.

2:49:35>> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU, AND

2:49:38I APPRECIATE THE VERY ROBUST

2:49:40DEBATE ON THIS.

2:49:41WOO I WILL SAY THIS AND I THINK

2:49:44MR. HARRIS-DAWSON WHAT YOU

2:49:46REVEALED IS THAT, MY CONCERN

2:49:50IS, THESE SECURITY BREACHES

2:49:51THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH,

2:49:53IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LAPD.

2:49:55WHAT WE NEED IS A UNIVERSAL

2:49:57POLICY THAT APPLICABLE TO ALL

2:50:01UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY TOOLS

2:50:03AND HOW WE PROTECT PEOPLE AND

2:50:05DATA RATHER THAN PEACE MEALING

2:50:07THIS AND WE'RE GOING TO CAOUT

2:50:09NICE YOU, WE SHOULD HAVING THIS

2:50:12DISCUSSION WITH ITA, WITH

2:50:14SANITATION, WITH STREET

2:50:15SERVICES, FOR THE SAME REASONS.

2:50:19FOR THE EXACT SAME REASONS.

2:50:20WE HAVE THE SAME THREATS AND

2:50:22CONCERNS AS IT RELATES TO AI

2:50:23THAT IS NOT BEING REGULATED

2:50:26CERTAINLY NOT BY THE FEDS OR

2:50:28STATE.

2:50:28HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT AND

2:50:30THAT IS A POLICY CONVERSATION

2:50:31THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS.

2:50:32I THINK WE HAVE INHERENT PUBLIC

2:50:35ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.

2:50:38UNDER RESOURCE DEPARTMENT AND

2:50:39FROM MY PART WHAT I THINK THIS

2:50:41IS WARRANTING IS NOT A SINGLING

2:50:44OUT OF THE CONVERSATION, IT

2:50:45NEEDS TO BE A BROADER

2:50:47CONVERSATION FOR THE

2:50:49UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY AND

2:50:51WHAT POLICIES AND PROTECTION

2:50:52THAT'S WE PLACE, ON THE PRIVACY

2:50:55AND DATA COLLECTION AND HOW

2:50:56THAT IS USED, THAT IS SHOULD BE

2:50:59APPLIED ACROSS THE BOARD.

2:51:00AND NOT LIMB HITED TO LAPD.

2:51:03I THINK THIS HAS TO BE A MUCH

2:51:05BROADER POLICY CONVERSATION

2:51:07WITH PRIVACY PROTECTIONS.

2:51:10AND THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S MY

2:51:12FEELING ON THIS.

2:51:14BUT, I ALSO SEE THE IMMENSE

2:51:17PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS THAT

2:51:19MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE

2:51:20FACING RIGHT NOW.

2:51:21>> Council President:

2:51:22COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA.

2:51:23>> I. Padilla: I AGREE THAT

2:51:26THIS IS DONE IN A PEACE MEAL

2:51:28WAY.

2:51:28I KNOW A FEW OF US ARE GOING TO

2:51:30BE INVITED TO GO DISCUSS THE

2:51:33FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY AND AI

2:51:36LATER THIS WEEK.

2:51:38BUT, YEAH I'VE GOT ADMIT I'M

2:51:41VERY CONFLICTED.

2:51:42I SAW COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ

2:51:44DO THE WORK WITH CAMERA

2:51:45TRANSPORTATION.

2:51:47I LITERALLY PUT IN A MOTION

2:51:50RELATE TODAY STREET FURNITURE.

2:51:52THE WORK GETS DONE IN COMMITTEE.

2:51:54AND FROM WHAT I'M HEARING IS

2:51:59THAT WE'RE MORE COMFORTABLE IN

2:52:02DOING THE WORK IN COMMITTEE AS

2:52:04IN COMMISSION.

2:52:04AS MUCH AS I WANT THESE CAMERAS

2:52:06UP, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FAN OF

2:52:10FACT THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO

2:52:13COMMIT CRIMES IN OUR DISTRICTS

2:52:15THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED, SHOULD

2:52:19WE BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS, THERE

2:52:22IS STILL MORE WORK TO DO.

2:52:24I WANT TO PUT IT OUT THERE THAT

2:52:27I THINK IT'S PEACE MEAL.

2:52:30IT'S BEEN MOVED TO RULES.

2:52:32I CHALLENGE THOSE IN RULES

2:52:35COMMITTEE TO LEAD ON SOMETHING

2:52:37THAT IS HOLISTICALLY FOR THE

2:52:39CITY.

2:52:39BECAUSE WE DON'T IS WHY WE'RE

3:00:25ALL RIGHTTIONER --ALL RIGHT,

3:00:31SEEING NO ADJOURNING MOTIONS,

3:00:32WE ARE ADJOURNED.

3:01:44Chosen to go a different path.

3:01:48So it's a great reminder of how

3:01:49beautiful our parks here in LA

3:01:52city are. And for all of us to

3:01:53just understand the importance

3:01:55of public safety inside our

3:01:56parks, taking care of our parks

3:01:58and bringing our mounted unit

3:02:00out to folks, revitalizing that

3:02:00traditional history, just

3:02:02getting people out here to enjoy

3:02:04our parks and enjoy our city of

3:02:05Los Angeles. It's good to get

3:02:07away from the city and just know

3:02:09that we have some beautiful

3:02:10parks out here to go out and

3:02:12explore.

3:02:40Tucked away in a quaint park

3:02:43between the 101 and Universal

3:02:44Studios Hollywood is Campo de

3:02:45Cahuenga, a place that holds an

3:02:48important historical moment in

3:02:49California's history. On January

3:02:5113th, 1847, General Andrés Pico,

3:02:54commanding Californio forces

3:02:55from Mexico and Lieutenant

3:02:57Colonel John C Frémont,

3:02:59representing the American army,

3:03:00signed the Treaty of Cahuenga,

3:03:01also known as the Articles of

3:03:04Capitulation of Cahuenga, which

3:03:06ended the organized fighting in

3:03:08California during the

3:03:09Mexican-American War. In Los

3:03:10Angeles, there's always

3:03:12something new and exciting to

3:03:13discover. Rich in history worth

3:03:15exploring whether you are just

3:03:17visiting or arriving from across

3:03:18the globe. Welcome to LA

3:03:46.

3:03:46The word Adobe comes to English

3:03:48through Spanish, reflecting

3:03:50building traditions that have

3:03:51been used around the world for

3:03:53thousands of years. Where I'm

3:03:54standing is a recreation of the

3:03:57original Adobe at Campo de

3:03:58Cahuenga. The original Adobe

3:04:00structure was demolished around

3:04:021900, and its current structure

3:04:03came to life in 1950. A

3:04:06potpourri of culture and history

3:04:08is worth celebrating, and no one

3:04:10does this like El Grito,

3:04:11honoring the history and

3:04:13diversity of Los Angeles Latino

3:04:14communities and bringing

3:04:16Angelenos together at the heart

3:04:17of Los Angeles City Hall. Viva

3:04:22Mexico.
