Several commenters made abusive and offensive remarks and were warned about going off topic or disrupting the meeting; the City Attorney's office said repeat disruption could mean removal.

00:00That's what I'm hoping for.

00:01Everybody's been asking

00:02questions about a dynasty. How

00:07about three and six years? How

00:11about a back to back? Yes. Three

00:18peat would be pretty nice to see

00:20here in Los Angeles. I'm ready

00:22to get another ring. Job in

00:302024. Done job in 2025. Done job

00:38in 2026. Starts now

01:34.

01:34In Los Angeles is known for its

01:37cultural landmarks and behind me

01:40is one you've probably seen

01:41before. It was the Daily Planet

01:43in the original Adventures of

01:45Superman. It appeared in the

01:47Dragnet series and in the 1953

01:50classic War of the worlds.

01:51Martians destroyed it, and in

01:541991, Prince filmed the music

01:56video for his hit song Diamonds

01:58and Pearls Right here at Los

02:01Angeles City Hall. But off

02:02camera, it was built for the

02:04people. The Spring Street steps

02:06were designed as the city's

02:07front door, a place where

02:09Angelenos could walk right up to

02:11their city government. A

02:13municipal building made to

02:14represent all of us. And in true

02:17La magic, a landmark that is now

02:19part of Hollywood history. So

02:21whether you're visiting for the

02:22first time or you've lived here

02:23your entire life, we're glad

02:25you're here. Welcome to Los

02:28Angeles

02:54.

02:54Inside City Hall, you can

02:56explore a building rich in Art

02:58Deco, but did you know you can

03:00take a self-guided tour during

03:02open hours? That's right. Head

03:04to the third floor, scan the QR

03:06code next to the Olympic and

03:07Paralympic showcase. And just

03:09like that, you're off. Now

03:11another landmark with a

03:13Hollywood connection just opened

03:16the Lucas Museum of Narrative

03:17Art. I'm so excited for this

03:20one. It's giving people the

03:21chance to see one of the largest

03:23collections of Norman Rockwell,

03:25along with the works by Frida

03:26Kahlo and Street art from Banksy

03:29. So when you walk through its

03:31doors, you've taken your first

03:34step into a larger world.

03:53This is a big celebration for us

03:56because it's taken so long to

03:58get here, but it's something

04:01that I felt very, very strongly

04:04about in terms of honoring

04:06illustrators. It's incredibly

04:10emotional. Um, slightly surreal.

04:13There's a lot going on today,

04:14but mostly we're just incredibly

04:16proud to finally be showing

04:18people what's here in the museum

04:24. A storytelling which is the

04:26mission of the museum really has

04:29helped build communities across

04:32centuries. So we want to make

04:34sure that we continue as part of

04:37what's on our walls, to spread

04:38that out and to have LA as our

04:40community and first and

04:41foremost, exposition Park. It's

04:44going to be a remarkable

04:47destination in Los Angeles, and

04:50we're going to shine across the

04:54state for having this amazing

04:56park. Uh this amazing museum.

04:59There's a lot of trees. There's

05:01a lot of walkways and bridges

05:03and hanging gardens and areas

05:06for people to sit. We have

05:08benches for people to do picnics

05:15. So anyone in our zip code now

05:17has our airline, 37 pass. That

05:18means you can visit for free

05:21whenever. If you live in our zip

05:22code and we're trying to make

05:24the museum as accessible as

05:25possible so as many people can

05:27see it as possible, because

05:28really, this is about

05:30celebrating the unsung

05:31illustrators of our time. So we

05:33want as many people to see those

05:36illustrators as possible. La DWP

05:44recycled Water Filtration

05:46program provides free recycled

05:47water to all the customers of

05:49Los Angeles. We've partnered

05:50with the LA Sanitation and

05:52Environment to provide this

05:53local resource to the customers

05:55of Los Angeles and in times of

05:57water scarcity in Los Angeles,

05:58we know that's been a big

06:00challenge. Ladwp is doing its

06:01part to invest in local water

06:03supplies and provide this as a

06:05local free resource right

06:07inside, I'm going to pull this

06:09back. I'm going to pull this.

06:10It's all for the plants, the

06:12lawn, uh, the few trees that we

06:15have, regular drinking water is

06:17getting very expensive. And, uh

06:21, we need to do something to,

06:23you know, help keep the plants

06:25green. Hi, William. Welcome

06:27back. Thank you very much. Thank

06:29you. I've been participating for

06:31the last four years for the

06:33program, for the recycled water.

06:34My garden. Uh needs a lot of

06:38water. And, uh, it just feels so

06:41good to come and get free water

06:43and feel like you're not wasting

06:45it. That instead, you're you're

06:46helping the environment. And

06:53recycled water is a non potable

06:56reuse water. It cannot be used

06:59for drinking. However it could

07:00be used to water your your

07:02plants, water your vegetables.

07:03It cannot be used to wash your

07:05vegetables, but again to water

07:07your vegetables. Um, and any

07:08type of irrigation to receive

07:12this recycled water, customers

07:13just need to bring in their

07:15ladwp bill and we'll provide the

07:17proper training. Folks can get

07:19up to 300 gallons per visit.

07:24We're located at the LA Glendale

07:26Water Reclamation Plant between

07:27the hours of 8 a.m. and 3:30

07:31p.m. every Friday. For more

07:34information about our Recycled

07:35Water Fill Station program, you

07:37can visit ladwp .com/ roofs.

07:50321. Parks are where friendships

07:58and lifelong relationships are

08:00built. They are the center of

08:02our communities, and now we have

08:04a beautiful new playground set

08:07that is Ada accessible. I'm

08:09honored to be here with you

08:11today to celebrate the Grand

08:12reopening of Chaco Canyon Park

08:14Playground. This project is

08:16about far more than just

08:18installing equipment. It's about

08:20fostering a safe, more vibrant,

08:22accessible environment where our

08:24community's children can grow,

08:26connect, and thrive. This park

08:31is absolutely gorgeous. We

08:32really needed an upgrade to this

08:34park. We've been in this

08:36neighborhood for many years. Our

08:37kids have grown up in this park

08:39and we're excited to see this

08:41new development. I believe that

08:44families are still recovering

08:46from the Covid days, where the

08:48children couldn't play outside

08:50with other kids and such, and

08:52this is going to research a lot

08:53of that interaction for

08:54children. It's going to give

08:56them a safe place to go. Toda la

08:59comunidad de aqui. Lakeview

09:00Terrace cu este park esta

09:02magnifico para Los ninos. Es un

09:04excelente ciudad. Muy privada.

09:06We are so excited for this new

09:09playground and we hope that

09:11everybody can enjoy it. For many

09:13years. It's important that

09:14everyone remembers. It's a

09:15shared responsibility to

09:16maintain and protect our public

09:18spaces. We appreciate everybody

09:20picking up after themselves and

09:21making sure that if there is

09:24anything wrong with the play

09:25structure, that they report it

09:26right away so it can be

09:28addressed. Yes, this llegamos

09:29aqui a labio terrace, a gusanos

09:32con Los ninos es un parque

09:34renovado muy excelente para me.

09:40From the fourth floor of the

09:43rotunda in City Hall, where I'm

09:44standing right now, you can see

09:46the rotunda floor made with more

09:48than 45 types of marble. In the

09:50center is a bronze Spanish ship

09:52representing the early Pacific

09:54explorers. And if you look up,

09:57you'll see figures in the dome

09:58representing things like

09:60government, education and

10:02protection. And when it comes to

10:04protection, this fire season,

10:06Los Angeles brought in some

10:07experts of its own for the 33rd

10:10year in a row, the government of

10:12Quebec has sent two super

10:14scooper planes to Van Nuys

10:15Airport, along with pilots and

10:18mechanics, giving firefighters a

10:20powerful tool from the air. On

10:28behalf of the Los Angeles Board

10:29of Airport Commissioners and Los

10:32Angeles World Airports, Lawa, I

10:34am proud to welcome the return

10:36of the two Canadair CL 415 Super

10:40Scoopers to their Southern

10:41California home at Van Nuys

10:43Airport. These two super

10:48Scoopers behind me protect all

10:50of the 88 cities in the county

10:53of Los Angeles. In addition to

10:54our neighboring counties, these

10:56CL 415 have fought fire in

10:58Ventura and Orange counties and

11:01they're a valuable resource for

11:02us. For 33 years, Quebec has

11:09provided our county with these

11:10aircraft, along with the skilled

11:13pilots and mechanics who operate

11:14and maintain them during peak

11:16fire season. Here in Los Angeles

11:18County. These aircrafts give our

11:22firefighters a powerful tool,

11:24but equipment alone cannot keep

11:25our communities safe. Wildfire

11:28safety requires all of us to do

11:31our part. So we're we're happy

11:40to be here every year and also

11:41for our Quebec pilots. It's a

11:43way to gain a specialized

11:46expertise in training in a

11:47terrain that's that's certainly

11:49very different from Quebec. So

11:52every year the aircraft and the

11:55crews come to support Los

11:57Angeles County Fire Department

11:59in their firefighting efforts

12:01during the busiest firefighting

12:02season in the year. These are

12:06really model examples of our

12:09governments that are working

12:10together to protect our

12:12communities.

12:2725 years ago today, I was part

12:31of a Los Angeles Fire Department

12:34urban search and rescue team.

12:36That was deployed to ground Zero

12:39right after the nine over 11

12:42attacks.

12:52We're here to remember the

12:56incidents of nine over 11. The

12:57lives that were lost, the people

12:59that were lost. But to also

13:01remember how we came together as

13:03a country. There were our

13:04neighbors at that moment, and we

13:06helped them. They went because

13:09people were trapped. They went

13:12because they recognized that

13:15people needed help and they went

13:18because they were firefighters.

13:22There was a terrible sense of

13:25helplessness watching what was

13:26happening. 3000 miles away,

13:29wondering about people you cared

13:31about while knowing that police

13:32officers, firefighters,

13:34paramedics, and so many others

13:36were running directly toward

13:38something the rest of the world

13:40was watching in horror. Today

13:45we're here at the Franco-chinese

13:48Training Center, commemorating

13:50the 25th anniversary of the nine

13:51over 11 attacks on the twin

13:54Towers. We're uplifting and

13:56remembering all of the first

13:58responders, all of the people

13:59who stepped up to be brave to

14:01save people's lives and to

14:03remind the generations that have

14:05come after the attack of what

14:07occurred, so that we never, ever

14:09forget what bravery looks like

14:11in this country and what it

14:13looks like for people to step up

14:15to save people. Nine over 11

14:182001 was a very sad day. It was

14:20a terrible day in the history of

14:23our country and the history of

14:25the world. So we're here to

14:26thank everyone. We're here to

14:29honor everyone, and we're here

14:31to say we don't want this to

14:33happen again. We can't let this

14:35happen again in the city. Now we

14:37go on thousands of calls every

14:40day. We know that we're doing

14:42this to provide a service for

14:45the for our community. So as we

14:48experiencing crises, as we're

14:49experiencing different horrors

14:50that intend to divide us, we

14:52must follow the steps of people

14:54from nine over 11 and what they

14:56did and stick together and

14:58protect our communities. Oh, say

15:02, can you see by the dawn's

15:07early light, what so proudly we

15:13hailed at the twilight's last

15:17gleaming. We are the city of Los

15:23Angeles with the Mayor's Office

15:25of Economic Opportunity, and we

15:26are here today to celebrate the

15:28kickoff of the Angelino Court

15:30program for the 2026, 2027 year.

15:32The Angelino Courts program is a

15:35ten month internship program.

15:36All 300 Angelenos who are here

15:39today are ages 18 to 30, who

15:41receive work experience for ten

15:43months in one of the six sectors

15:45that we offer, a majority of the

15:46Angelenos that are enrolled into

15:47our program are in school. So

15:49it's hard, you know, sometimes a

15:51lot of workplaces ask you to

15:54have 2 or 3 years worth of

15:56experience. So the Angelino

15:58Corps members program is

15:59awesome. They're learning hands

16:00on right there. And then we are

16:02able to balance those working

16:04hours for them to still get work

16:06experience and being able to

16:08develop skills and add it to

16:09their resume. They're going to

16:11receive professional development

16:13. They're going to receive

16:14stipends, monthly stipends for

16:15all of the work that they're

16:17doing for the city and for the

16:19communities and the place that

16:20they call home. I'm one of the

16:21successful stories I have

16:23completed with the program. The

16:24ten month program, and secured

16:26employment Sccap I do have big

16:28plans. I'm actually going to get

16:30my master's in education, so

16:31hopefully in five years I'll be

16:34a school counselor myself. I was

16:36a Boyle High Technology User

16:38Center participant during my

16:40early years. It was difficult to

16:42get that work experience while

16:43being in school, but now for the

16:45last three years, I've been a

16:46full time case manager under the

16:48Angelino court program. Our hope

16:50is that by students

16:51participating in the Angelina

16:52court program that they're going

16:54to be able to set themselves up

16:55for the future. It's going to be

16:56important that you just come

16:58willing to learn. You're going

17:00to have a mentor that's going to

17:01set you up for success and work

17:04months. Coming in. We know you

17:06already have something within

17:08We tell everybody, take every

17:09single advantage of everything

17:12you know, explore it. Maybe you

17:13think you don't have a skill or

17:15an expertise yet, but once

17:17you're there, you actually learn

17:18that you do have some expertise

17:20. We're here to really help you

17:22grow those skills and just be

17:23able to be whatever it is you

17:26goals take you, we're really

17:28there to support you and. On the

17:3326th floor is the Hall of

17:34Mayors, featuring portraits of

17:36former Los Angeles mayors,

17:37including Tom Bradley, who was

17:40the city's first black mayor and

17:42its longest serving holding

17:44office from. 1973 to 1993. Now,

17:49this hall is just one of the

17:51many places in LA that honors

17:52people from the monuments in

17:54MacArthur Park and the memorials

17:55in Grant Park to the Hollywood

17:58Walk of Fame and the Grammy

17:59Museum. Recently, the iconic

18:02Mexican group Los Angeles Azules

18:03were honored for their decades

18:05of telling their stories to the

18:07music of cumbia, and council

18:09member Imelda Padilla and others

18:12celebrated the group and their

18:13rich connection to the San

18:14Fernando Valley community.

18:18Today, in the community of

18:20Panorama City, we welcomed one

18:23of the most globally recognized

18:24cumbia groups from Mexico, Los

18:27Angeles Azules to name Van Nuys

18:29Boulevard and Chase Street after

18:30them. There is no group as big

18:34as Grande with beautiful songs

18:36and lyrics like Los Angeles

18:38Azules and Here We Are today,

18:41soy fan de Los Angeles Azules y

18:43desde muy tempranito estoy aqui

18:45, esperando a llegaron ya Los v

19:06Nuys pues imaginate cada vez.

19:08Qué pasa por aqui. Me vas a

19:10recordar a mi a mi gente de Ella

19:14. This feels like a very full

19:15circle moment for me. But more

19:17than anything, it's a full

19:18circle moment for this community

19:19because we made sure that

19:21communities like Panorama City

19:22and Arleta were at the table

19:25about what they wanted in Van

19:27Nuys Boulevard and what we want

19:28are businesses that were happy

19:31to go shopping to. We want

19:32pocket parks that we can utilize

19:35. We want restaurants where we

19:37know we're going to be able to

19:39have a good time and be safe.

19:41Our community wants to come

19:42outside and celebrate our

19:44differences more than fight over

19:46them. Puerto Llegaron Los

19:50Angeles Azules igual ustedes van

19:52creciendo un poco poquito yo y

19:53este reconocimiento nos emociona

19:56mucho. Porque estamos aqui con

19:59todos. Ustedes cada uno de

20:00ustedes. Sabe de alguna cancion

20:03de Los Angeles azules. Aqui en

20:05su Corazon.

20:17We are in the heart of the

20:18harbor of Wilmington,

20:19California, part of the 1.5, and

20:21we are celebrating Labor Day. We

20:23have the 47th annual Labor Day

20:26Parade, rally and picnic right

20:29here in Banning Park. And

20:36besides advocating for workers

20:38in the workplace, we're also

20:39having a lot of fun. I am here

20:47celebrating with all the unions

20:50, which is extremely important,

20:51and that is to recognize our

20:54labor Day every year. I tell

20:56everybody the unions have done

20:57an amazing job when it comes to

20:59working for working class people

21:01, and that is what is important

21:03is that we make these people go

21:04to work every day. And for them

21:06to have someone to fight for

21:08them every day, that is truly a

21:09blessing. This is an event where

21:11we're allowed to represent and

21:13to recognize the different

21:15organizations that different the

21:17over 200 local unions that

21:21create the opportunities here in

21:23the harbor area that employ

21:24people that keep our community

21:26driving forward and are the

21:27economic drivers of everything

21:30that happened here in the harbor

21:31area. We have to honor all those

21:35who fought for our rights from

21:38the beginning. That's why we're

21:40here. It's because all those who

21:41fought for us, they got it done

21:44and we're going to keep on

21:45getting it done. And Happy Labor

21:47Day to all all the Labor unions,

21:50all the trade unions, everybody

21:52. Let's do this unity in the

21:54community. Well, the labor

21:57movement has been so important

21:58to the development of this

21:59country. The labor movement

22:01brought us the 40 hour workweek.

22:02It brought many folks health

22:03benefits. It has brought folks

22:05safety in the workplace. And so

22:06it's really important for us to

22:08make sure that we hang on to

22:10those values. My district has

22:12been watch to the Waterfront and

22:14here in the harbor area, we

22:17provide 1 in 9 jobs in the

22:19entire LA county. And so what's

22:21important for folks who have

22:22those jobs is to make sure we

22:24keep those jobs. We're here at

22:33MacArthur Park tonight. It's the

22:35first fall Friday nights of the

22:36year. The biggest goal and

22:37motivation for fall Friday

22:39nights is really to bring

22:40families to the park for Friday

22:42nights is a part of our

22:43comprehensive strategy to

22:45improve neighborhood safety here

22:46in the MacArthur Park corridor

22:48and the Westlake community.

22:49There's lots of negative

22:51narratives about this community,

22:52but really, people have a sense

22:54of pride where they live. I

22:56think we need more events like

22:59this. We need the city to be

23:00involved a little more so that

23:01the people can feel safe. You

23:03know, that they can have

23:05something to come to and not

23:06just the park that has

23:07challenges. We understand that

23:08there's a lot of need. We

23:09understand that kids just went

23:11back to school, that we're not

23:13only looking for activities for

23:14kids after school, but we're

23:15also just trying to assist

23:17families that are working hard

23:19to make it day by day. Keep our

23:21family source center has joined

23:23us to bring many more resources

23:25to this community, along with

23:27public health resources, food

23:29giveaways, recreation

23:30activities. We're just having a

23:32great time here in MacArthur

23:33Park and it's so important

23:35because we really want to show

23:36how many families are here at

23:38the park. They're playing

23:39soccer, they're having lunch

23:41here, they're bringing their

23:42families. The more that we can

23:43supplement that by saying, hey,

23:44let's do a soccer clinic with

23:46you. Let's do some breakdancing,

23:47which is what's happening

23:48tonight. Tommy Junio is also

23:50going to be doing some food

23:51distribution. We're going to

23:52have some events coming up in

23:54October. You know, encourage the

23:55community to come out and have

23:57some fun. We're going to be

23:58having a Halloween event that is

24:00hosted by Recreation and Parks

24:01here on October 31st. We're

24:02going to be looking into hosting

24:04something for Dia de Los Muertos

24:05as well. So there's going to be

24:07a lot more events like this. And

24:09we're really excited to take

24:10part in them and to show the

24:12community that we're here with

24:13them. They can always call our

24:15office with any questions and

24:16any assistance that you might

24:17need. We're here to help. We're

24:19excited about families returning

24:20to MacArthur Park and more

24:21importantly, about activating

24:22the park differently. The goal

24:24is to have 1000 families every

24:26Friday. A fall Friday night.

24:28Looking forward to seeing you

24:29here. This is City Hall's

24:37observation deck on the 27th

24:39floor. What a sight. And right

24:41above us is the Lindbergh Beacon

24:44. Now, when City Hall opened in

24:461928, President Calvin Coolidge

24:48turned it on from the white

24:49House. And today, it only lights

24:52up for special occasions.

24:53Recently, an historic Filipino

24:55town, there was a special

24:57occasion worth gathering for the

24:59hi fi Fall Festival celebrated

25:02its one year anniversary. Filled

25:04with music, local food vendors

25:05and the joy of people coming

25:08together. Today, we are at

25:14Concha Corner at Hi Fi in Unidad

25:17Park. We are celebrating our one

25:19year anniversary of our event.

25:21What you can find is that it's

25:23just an all inclusive community

25:25event, part of the reason we put

25:26this event on was because we

25:28wanted a visibility for our

25:29culture. You hear for the first

25:32time, you're going to get a dose

25:34of Filipino music, Filipino art.

25:37This is one of the best ways to

25:39support local businesses,

25:41especially as we are facing

25:42gentrification and displacement

25:44in this community. You're going

25:45to hear several different

25:47languages that are not often

25:48represented in these systems,

25:51because we're taught to learn

25:52English from a young age, even

25:55in the Philippines. But here

25:56you're going to get to hear

25:57Tagalog spoken, maybe even

25:58Ilokano. What I found so

26:00appealing with the corner is

26:02that it touches all of my

26:04interests. Community, give back

26:05along with working with local

26:07Los Angeles nonprofits as well

26:09as small businesses. For example

26:12, La Cocina. They are local to

26:14this area, Echo Park, so not too

26:16far. The Filipino worker Center

26:18is here. My place here is today.

26:20They're offering free services

26:21to the community. We also offer

26:24mutual aid where we partnered

26:25with Vicente Family Farms and

26:27Temple Seafood Market. They have

26:30provided free groceries to the

26:31community members here. So while

26:33supplies last, we have free

26:34groceries. A lot of our

26:38performers have either

26:39connections in historic Filipino

26:41town or either brand new, or

26:42they are local. Today is fall

26:45Fest. We just had Summer Fest in

26:47July and spring Fest in April,

26:49and then we'll have again in

26:51winter sometime in December. I

26:53hope you get to come next time,

26:54because a lot of these systems

26:57in place want us to be by

26:59ourselves. And here you actually

27:01get to be with each other, even

27:03connect with a part of yourself

27:05that you can't experience

27:06anywhere else. These events are

27:07very important for our community

27:09because we need spaces where we

27:11can really celebrate each other,

27:12feel safe amongst each other,

27:14connect with each other,

27:15especially with the current

27:16climate of how things are. This

27:17is a community of made of

27:20immigrants. So we have this

27:21space here because we want to

27:22make sure people feel seen and

27:25safe and heard. Everyone please,

27:28I hope to see you soon here at

27:30the next console corner Festival

27:31here in Historic Filipino Town.

27:34Mga kababayan kita kita po tayo

27:35dito sa Kanto Corners a historic

27:36filipinotown in Unidad Park.

27:44Come out and join us today at

27:47the Caribbean Heritage Festival.

27:48We are here and we're all

27:50bringing our special contents

27:51like our music, our food.

27:52There's clothing, so it's so

27:55important to come and connect

27:56and network with all the other

27:58countries here today. Got things

28:00for the kids to its amazing,

28:02amazing day and I'm glad to see

28:04all the representation. So I'm

28:05representing Belize, but we also

28:07got all the different countries

28:08in the Caribbean here. You know

28:10Trini, we got Barbados, we got

28:12Haiti, we got everybody. Los

28:13Angeles is a big home to lots of

28:16people from the Caribbean right

28:17here in the heart of the African

28:20American community. It's so

28:20important to have this

28:21celebration. So many of us come

28:23from the African continent and

28:24went through slavery. Some

28:25people went to the Caribbean and

28:27they came here. And so we're

28:28excited to celebrate the

28:29culture, the music, the fight,

28:31the struggle that's present here

28:33in Los Angeles. I'll make sure

28:34that you incorporate all your

28:36friends into our community,

28:37because we kind of really need

28:38that in the L.A. area, it's

28:40always great to see us come

28:43together and celebrate one

28:44another. And again see that

28:45there's other people like us out

28:47here as well. We do this every

28:49year and we're going to continue

28:51to do it because the people call

28:52for it. South L.A. is where

28:54people want to be, where the

28:55Caribbean community wants to be.

28:56Eventually, we're going to have

28:58carnival here like they do in

28:59Toronto and New York City and

29:01other places around the globe.

29:02Los Angeles is home to a

29:04powerful Caribbean community,

29:06Caribbean people. We're very

29:08warm. We're very we integrate a

29:10lot of people together. It's all

29:12about the food and the dancing

29:14and the music and just having a

29:15good time. We love everybody.

29:17It's a great day to come

29:20celebrate. Today is the Saint

29:26Joseph's Center fall Connect

29:29day. We have a host of different

29:32activities and resources from

29:34the county, from the city, from

29:36across Los Angeles. Really

29:39dedicated to helping folks who

29:40are experiencing homelessness,

29:42housing insecurity and folks who

29:44just need to make sure that they

29:46have information available to

29:48them. We basically invited tons

29:50of families and communities for

29:53resources that we have available

29:54here today. We have DPS, we have

29:57Department of Mental Health. We

29:58also have Cd11, T-Mobile, and we

30:02also have a few barbers who

30:03dedicated their time to be here

30:05today as well. So ahorita Estén

30:08Dando juguetes ropa y comida

30:11para las personas corte de pelo

30:14y para las comida no tiene, pues

30:17ahorita este es muy buena idea

30:18de lo Q obtuvieron para hacer

30:20este este dia saint Joseph

30:24Center is one of the largest

30:26homeless services and housing

30:27organizations in the entire

30:29county. It's totally open to the

30:31community and free, and we're

30:32expecting hundreds of people to

30:34come through today. We'd like to

30:36say thank you to Saint Joseph

30:38Center. All the great work they

30:39do in the community. We have a

30:41long standing partnership with

30:42them. So, you know, anytime that

30:44we can help support what their

30:46efforts are for the community,

30:47we want to do that. Right. So we

30:49help them out with all their

30:51communications and everything

30:52else and networking. And again,

30:53we're just here to support we

30:56value their partnership and all

30:57the great things they do. People

31:01don't realize that in LA County

31:04there are 1.1 million people who

31:07identify as having a physical

31:08disability. That's 10% of our

31:10county. The CTP, the

31:14self-evaluation and transition

31:16plan is something that the Ada

31:18requires of all city and county

31:20governments across the nation.

31:22The city of Los Angeles did one

31:23back in 2000. We decided rather

31:25than just try and update it,

31:27that there's quite frankly, so

31:29much work to be done that we're

31:31going to take a self-evaluation

31:32from the beginning. We've got

31:34thousands of facilities to look

31:35at and programs the city

31:36department on Disability really

31:38understands how frustrating it

31:39can be when somebody runs into

31:42noncompliance, whether that's a

31:43sidewalk, a park, a library, an

31:45arts event. I represent blind

31:50people from San Diego to

31:52Humboldt, and I'm here to thank

31:53you, first of all, for meeting.

31:55But you need to start changing

31:57things. The comments are very

32:00impassioned and a lot of

32:04frustration. We really need to

32:07make sure that it works for the

32:09people who are going to be

32:10serviced by it, and we really

32:12want to change the framework

32:14from kind of an afterthought to

32:17something that's more proactive

32:19when my grandmother, um, had

32:22lung cancer, they had to sever

32:24nerves in her spine and

32:26overnight she could never walk

32:28again. She acquired her

32:29disabilities overnight, and that

32:31was before Ada watching my

32:34grandmother have to navigate a

32:35world that was really hostile at

32:38the time. Um just makes me want

32:41to make sure that we break down

32:42those barriers for everyone so

32:44that they never have to feel

32:46like the world. No longer wants

32:47them around. I had a spinal cord

32:50injury at the age of 21. Over 50

32:53years ago, and it introduced me

32:55to the community and the

32:56oppression that we live with and

32:59experience on a daily basis of

33:01lack of opportunities to

33:03interact or go into a building

33:07or participate in employment. I

33:10decided that I wanted to

33:13influence a way for all of us to

33:16be able to really live our best

33:18lives without feeling like we

33:20can't be a part of something,

33:23come to these meetings and make

33:24your voice heard, because that's

33:27a critical part. We're looking

33:29at accessibility from the big

33:31picture. We're putting a lot of

33:32resources, energy and expertise

33:34to it. And it's something that,

33:36quite frankly, is the DoD's. The

33:37Department of Disabilities top

33:39priority. We're getting answers

33:40that we know that the Department

33:43of Disabilities and the mayor

33:45and the council are going to act

33:47on, and that's really exciting.

33:48We've put a survey out there.

33:49You can find on our website

33:51disability Dot L.A. city Gov.

33:54Complete the survey through

33:55October 15th. That questionnaire

33:57allows people to really talk

33:58about what barriers they've run

34:00into. Take the survey because,

34:01you know, people are going to do

34:03something about it. From the

34:08observation deck at City Hall,

34:10you can see neighborhoods in

34:12every direction. Each one of

1:03:49WORKING WITH YOU, ANA.

1:03:50SO I WANT TO SHARE A STORY OF

1:03:53HOW WE GOT HERE TODAY.

1:03:55A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS

1:03:58STILL PRESIDENT OF LITTLE ITALY.

1:04:00I WAS WORKING WITH THE LOS

1:04:02ANGELES DODGERS, HEY MONICA.

1:04:03I WAS WORKING TO LOS ANGELES

1:04:05DODGERS TO ESTABLISH A ITALIAN

1:04:09HERITAGE NIGHT AND

1:04:11UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORKOUT.

1:04:12AND LOOKING BACK, I DON'T THINK

1:04:13I HAD HAD THE EXPERIENCE AS THE

1:04:17PRESIDENT OF LITTLE ITALY TO

1:04:18REALLY PUSH THE ISSUE THE WAY I

1:04:20SHOULD HAVE.

1:04:22BUT I NEEDED--WE NEEDED TO FIND

1:04:25AN OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE

1:04:27ITALIAN AMERICANS IN THE CITY

1:04:29SINCE WE LOST COLUMBUS DAY.

1:04:35AND WE HAD TO RECOGNIZE

1:04:37CONTRIBUTIONS.

1:04:38SO IN 2023, I RAN INTO GIOVANNI

1:04:44LEE AND HE ASKED ME WHAT

1:04:46HAPPENED TO THE DODGERS AND I

1:04:47EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND I

1:04:49ALSO ASKED JOHN, HEY IF WE COME

1:04:51UP WITH A GREAT

1:04:53ITALIAN-AMERICAN OR ITALIAN

1:04:55THAT WE CAN ALL RALLY BEHIND,

1:04:57WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO

1:04:59RECOGNIZE THIS PERSON AND

1:05:01WITHOUT HESITATION, YOU SAID

1:05:03YES.

1:05:03I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

1:05:05HE WAS THE FIRST TIME.

1:05:06JUST BECAUSE WE WERE AT A GOLF

1:05:08TOURNAMENT TOGETHER.

1:05:09AND THEN, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

1:05:12SO, OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS,

1:05:15ANA AND I KICKED AROUND WHO IN

1:05:18THE ITALIAN COMMUNITY WE CAN

1:05:20RECOGNIZE AND ONE DAY WE

1:05:25STUMBLED UPON MOTHER CABRINI

1:05:32AND THEN WE HAD A STORY THAT

1:05:35REALLY RECOGNIZED.

1:05:36THERE WAS A 1998 "L.A. TIMES"

1:05:42ARTICLE HOW SHE DISCARDED

1:05:45LUMBER IN L.A. TO HELP THE

1:05:47CHILDREN OF ITALIAN AS WELL AS

1:05:49THE MEXICAN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY.

1:05:52SO SHE DIDN'T REALLY CARE WHERE

1:05:53YOU CAME FROM, SHE JUST CARED

1:05:55WHAT YOU NEEDED.

1:05:57THAT STORY IS PERSONAL TO ME

1:05:59AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN

2:15:01INSTEAD, HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED

2:15:05BY A PASSENGER ALLEGEDLY

2:15:07BECAUSE HE COULDN'T STOP THE

2:15:09BUS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

2:15:12THINK ABOUT THAT.

2:15:14A MURDER OVER AN ARGUMENT

2:15:19BECAUSE THE BUS DRIVE WAS

2:17:52VIOLENT THREATS AS SOMETHING

2:17:55THAT RIDERS AND DRIVERS SHOULD

2:17:58SIMPLY LEARN TO TOLERATE.

2:28:00AND YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW

2:28:02LITTLE THAT HAPPENS IN THIS

2:28:03BUILDING.

2:28:03SO THANK YOU FOR SPREADING YOUR

2:28:07KINDNESS OUTSIDE OF THE HOFS

2:28:08THAT YOU WORK IN, OUTSIDE OF

2:28:10THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU

2:28:11REPRESENT AND GIVING IT TO ALL

2:28:12OF US.

2:28:13AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR TO YOU

2:28:14HAVE A MAGICAL TIME WITH YOUR

2:28:16FAMILY AND PUPPY.

2:28:17THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY YOU'VE

2:28:18GIVEN AND I'M SURE THAT YOU

2:28:20WILL BE AROUND IN CASE ANYBODY

2:28:22NEEDS SUPPORT AND HELP.

2:28:23BUT PLEASE, I HOPE YOU HAVE A

2:28:25WONDERFUL TIME BECAUSE YOU'VE

2:28:27GIVEN THE CITY SO MUCH.

2:28:28THANK YOU.

2:28:28>> Council President: THANK YOU

2:28:31SO MANY AND THANK YOU

2:28:32COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA.

2:28:35WE ARE ADJOURNED, THANK YOU SO

2:28:36MUCH, EVERYBODY.

2:29:48Now a major challenge in the

2:29:50minds of some is greater

2:29:52efficiency. I think they

2:29:53definitely need to expand the

2:29:55routes and expand the hours of

2:29:59operation. You know, to suit and

2:30:03meet the needs of like a very

2:30:06busy and bustling city. You

2:30:07know, it's like people want to

2:30:09go out and do all these great

2:30:10things that LA has to offer, but

2:30:13, you know, it's not necessarily

2:30:14easy to do. So, you know, if

2:30:16you're waiting around for the

2:30:17bus to get somewhere, another

2:30:19important means of

2:30:20transportation for Angelenos is

2:30:21provided by the city of Los

2:30:24Angeles Department of

2:30:25Transportation. Ladot runs the

2:30:28ubiquitous Dash busses and

2:30:30express bus service. The

2:30:32department also promotes

2:30:33alternative means of getting

2:30:35around the city, such as ride

2:30:36sharing, walking, biking, and

2:30:40micro-mobility options. We're

2:30:41the largest municipal transit

2:30:43operator in the county. In a

2:30:45normal year, we move about 20

2:30:46million trips and then we also

2:30:48have a responsibility for

2:30:49regulating taxis, scooters and

2:30:53electric bikes. So we have a

2:30:55really large portfolio of

2:30:57responsibilities that we have.

2:31:02The public can also choose to

2:31:04use Metrolink commuter trains

2:31:06and the national Amtrak service

2:31:09for longer distances. In spite

2:31:10of the challenges that may loom

2:31:14, la metro is continuing to plan

2:31:16for the future. It has 40 new

2:31:18projects scheduled over the next

2:31:1940 years. Topping the list are

2:31:22the extension of the Purple Line

2:31:23subway to Westwood, a connector

2:31:26linking all light rail in

2:31:28downtown LA, a Crenshaw LAX

2:31:30project and an extension of the

2:31:32Gold Line to Pomona. As part of

2:31:36Los Angeles Mayor Eric

2:31:38Garcetti's Green New Deal, Ladot

2:31:41and la metro are committed to

2:31:43the use of clean energy for

2:31:46example, LA is building more

2:31:47electric vehicle charging

2:31:49stations and plans to offer

2:31:51completely electric powered bus

2:31:53fleets in the near future to

2:31:54help combat global warming. And

2:31:57in late 2020, Mayor Garcetti

2:32:00announced a major upgrade for

2:32:01public transportation. Hundreds

2:32:04of brand new light rail and

2:32:05subway cars were put into

2:32:07service in 2021. As for the

2:32:10future of LA transportation

2:32:12officials say it will ultimately

2:32:14be a blend of private sector

2:32:16innovation and sound public

2:32:18policy. We can kind of play the

2:32:21long game and we can have policy

2:32:24goals that are about, you know,

2:32:25climate or public health or

2:32:27economic revitalization. The

2:32:30private sector is really good at

2:32:31being very nimble, being very

2:32:34quick, learning fast, and, you

2:32:35know, coming up with new ideas

2:32:38and experimenting in a way that

2:32:40we can't always do in

2:32:41government. And so having those

2:32:43if you have those two things

2:32:45working together, you can really

2:32:48open up a lot of great

2:32:49opportunities. The private

2:32:54sector is already actively

2:32:56gearing up for the next big

2:32:57invention. One popular concept

2:33:00is the Hyperloop. It is a

2:33:02propelled form of travel that

2:33:04would propel passengers and

2:33:06freight in a tube at airline or

2:33:08supersonic speeds. Well, we have

2:33:10a tube and that encloses a low

2:33:13pressure environment. It's like

2:33:14flying at about 200,000ft of

2:33:16altitude. And in that tube

2:33:17you're able to go up to about

2:33:19700 miles an hour. And Uber is

2:33:24also ready to take its brand to

2:33:25the next level. Literally. There

2:33:27is talk of something called Uber

2:33:29Elevate. Instead of getting in

2:33:31your car and driving on the

2:33:33roads, you're going to jump in

2:33:34your plane and you're going to

2:33:36fly downtown. You're going to

2:33:37fly to the beach. Are you going

2:33:39to fly down to Long Beach? No

2:33:40You. So from horse and buggy to

2:33:49train travel and from the

2:33:51trolley to the automobile, Los

2:33:53Angeles has had an exciting ride

2:33:55into the 21st century. And while

2:33:58we imagine the future, it's

2:33:59really anyone's guess as to what

2:34:01new innovations will come along

2:34:03and truly take transportation to

2:34:05the next level. But one thing is

2:34:08for sure, this time Los Angeles

2:34:10will be ready

2:35:43. For

2:35:43It. I'm so excited to welcome

2:35:44you here to Barnsdall Park. One

2:35:46of the city's most magnificent

2:35:48gems. This is one of the

2:35:55flagship parks that we have at

2:35:56the Department of Cultural

2:35:57Affairs and partnership with the

2:35:58Department of Recreation and

2:35:59Parks. Here we are, home to

2:36:05HollyHock House and residence A,

2:36:06the Los Angeles Municipal Art

2:36:09Gallery, the Barnsdall Gallery

2:36:11Theater, the Barnsdall Art

2:36:12center, and the Barnsdall Junior

2:36:13Arts Center on the campus was

2:36:18purchased initially in 1921 by

2:36:21Aline Barnsdall, who over the

2:36:23years had a vision for a true

2:36:24arts campus where artists could

2:36:27live and perform and host

2:36:29lectures and have a theater and

2:36:31exhibit their work, and over the

2:36:33years the city has been able to

2:36:35help steward the vision of Aline

2:36:37Barnsdall. And.

2:36:57The HollyHock House is Frank

2:37:00Lloyd Wright's first Los Angeles

2:37:01commission. He's probably

2:37:02America's most celebrated 20th

2:37:05century architect. HollyHock

2:37:09House is really this exciting

2:37:12project where Wright was coming

2:37:13to California trying to imagine

2:37:15what a California house should

2:37:16be. Wright described it as

2:37:18California romanza and romanza,

2:37:19being a musical term meaning

2:37:21free form. It really is a

2:37:23romantic embrace of the natural

2:37:24beauty. The creative freedom

2:37:26that La represents. We are the

2:37:33city's only Unesco World

2:37:34Heritage Site. It speaks to the

2:37:37importance of this site. We are

2:37:39the only cultural Unesco site in

2:37:43California. We're joining the

2:37:45redwoods and Yosemite to natural

2:37:47sites as California landmarks.

2:37:49With this
