Riverwalk at Studio City appeals (CF 26-1081)

33:18-33:52, 39:34-41:55, 43:41-44:37, 47:40-48:50, 51:06-53:25, 54:31-56:35, 1:32:00-1:35:20, 1:40:00-1:41:03

Minutes: item 14 (the tract map appeals) and item 22 (the project review appeal, continued from October 20) each passed 11 ayes, 0 noes, denying the appeals of Minteer (for the Studio City Residents Association and Save LA River Open Space) and King, with a Valleyheart Drive sidewalk and parkway condition, a fire safe regulations condition before the final map, and the Council District 4 conditions. Both carried an October 23 time limit.
Item 14, the Riverwalk project on Ventura Boulevard (814 homes), was among the items passed together on the first roll call (11 ayes). It was not open for item comment, so supporters and one opponent spoke under general comment.
Supporters included the applicant's representatives, a neighborhood council ad hoc committee member, a business association, a transit advocate, a land-use professor and several residents. They cited the 40 low-income homes (the captions' figure; the committee page says 46), restaurants and river access, and about 7 million dollars in park fees plus river maintenance money.
A speaker for the Studio City Neighborhood Council read its community impact statement of support, saying the council had weighed an earlier proposal that left benefits on the table, that its conditions had been met or were in process, and that its disaster-preparedness ad hoc committee drew little community interest. As an individual he said an outside study put added evacuation time at 27 minutes.
One Studio City resident asked the Council to deny the tract map, arguing that AB 130 still requires meeting safety standards, that the applicant's own consultant noted fire hose reach limits, and that 27 minutes is added to an evacuation of about six hours. She said she wants development there, but safe development.
Raman and Blumenfield did not speak on the item in the captions.

Automated License Plate Reader Policies

42:19-43:06, 53:25-54:31, 1:15:00-1:16:00, 1:27:30-1:30:49, 1:36:00-1:36:28, 1:49:37-1:54:54

Minutes: item 16 (the Automated Bus Lane Enforcement report with the LADOT license plate recognition use policy) passed 13 ayes, 1 no; the no vote was Lee. The journal numbers it item 16, not 18. Item 20 (the Axon Lightpost MOU, Council File 26-1394) was continued to October 27 by 10 ayes, 0 noes. See Automated Bus Lane Enforcement Program and Axon Lightpost Pilot Program.
Item 20, the LAPD agreement with Axon for license plate readers, was continued: first to Friday October 23 at the Council President's request (31:07), then, at 59:51, to Tuesday October 27. It was therefore not open for item comment.
Callers and speakers under general comment urged the Council to reject all license plate readers or the Axon agreement, citing fears that the data would reach federal immigration enforcement and the lack of safeguards. One speaker said a presentation at the previous day's committee meeting left out high false-hit rates (161 in 60 days) from the report that led the city not to renew an earlier vendor contract.
Item 16 (called special by Lee; the captions' clerk reads it as item 18) was the LADOT automated plate recognition use policy. Lee said its authorized users include contractors, that the master data license with a vendor (rendered "Haiden AI" in the captions) raises data-access concerns and reported espionage accusations involving its founders, and that page 10 lets the department and its contractors aggregate enforcement history on specific vehicles and registered individuals. He argued that this undercuts the safeguards the Police Commission put in the LAPD agreement and the consensus that the city should own the data and not share it with private contractors, and said the Council seems to object to which department uses the technology, not the technology.
Rodriguez thanked him for exposing the inconsistency, referred to her own motion for data-sharing protections across all city departments and contracts, and said she supports the LADOT item while calling selective application problematic.
Passed 13 ayes, 1 no; the captions do not name the no vote.

Public Bank Feasibility Study

1:07:00-1:09:25, 1:16:58-1:17:30, 1:41:24-1:42:53, 1:54:54-1:59:10

Minutes: the journal shows 11 ayes and 3 noes, the noes being Lee, Park and Rodriguez; Hernandez was absent. It identifies 460,000 dollars, less funds already approved or pending under Council File 19-1235-S1, and asks the CAO to track the study as an unfunded request in each Financial Status Report. Yaroslavsky moved adoption of the Budget and Finance Committee report, seconded by Harris-Dawson.
Item 17: a Budget and Finance report on a motion by Yaroslavsky and Harris-Dawson to fund a feasibility study of a city-owned bank. Yaroslavsky asked that it be moved to the report (a separate vote had been requested by Rodriguez).
Jurado said several offices had already pitched in toward the study and that a public bank could help finance affordable housing and small businesses and keep fee money in Los Angeles. A coalition caller cited the Bank of North Dakota.
Park opposed spending about half a million dollars on another consultant, arguing the city cannot manage its own finances and lacks the billions in start-up capital. She said she would back it only if it were funded by council offices or philanthropy.
Two general-comment callers also questioned the council's banking expertise and the cost.
Padilla supported the study and asked that it examine reducing predatory lending. The Council President hoped earlier work on libraries as alternatives to check-cashing outlets would be included.
Passed 11 ayes, 3 noes.

Restaurant Grease Trap Cost Threshold Update

1:47:23-1:49:31

Minutes: adopted as amended, 14 ayes, 0 noes. The amending motion by Nazarian and Rodriguez sets the interceptor trigger at 180,000 dollars (up from 100,000), adjusted every three years by the Consumer Price Index starting July 1, 2029, and requires new restaurants and converted spaces to install interceptors.
Item 13: Rodriguez presented the update to the fats, oils and grease ordinance. The cost formula that decides when a restaurant must install a grease trap had not been updated in more than 20 years (the captions give a 100,000 dollar threshold), and the motion adjusts it periodically with the Consumer Price Index.
She said fat-caused sewer blockages have fallen by more than 90 percent since the program began, and framed the change as relief for struggling restaurant owners.
Nazarian had called it special for a technical amendment naming the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Passed 14 ayes.

Reynier Village Community Naming

1:45:27-1:47:22

Minutes: the journal spells the name Reynier Village (Council File 26-1281, Hutt and Yaroslavsky). Adopted as amended, 14 ayes, 0 noes: three official community signs at South Robertson and Cadillac, South Robertson and Cattaraugus, and Holt and Cadillac, once the City Clerk confirms the locations lie within the community's boundaries.
Item 9: Hutt presented the formal naming of the Reynier Village community in Council District 10 (spelled several ways in the captions), noting the neighborhood council's endorsement and the area's history as an early residential tract with a 1920s neighborhood association.
Passed 14 ayes (with her amendment, which was being circulated).

Continuum of Care bidding process (CF 26-1485)

1:13:40-1:14:54, 1:59:10-2:00:02, 3:00:49-3:01:20

Minutes: item 21 (a motion by Harris-Dawson and McOsker) was continued to October 23 by 13 ayes, 0 noes; Hernandez and Raman were absent. The motion asks the City Attorney for litigation options and the CAO, CLA and Housing Department for a report on county negotiations and steps toward a City-only Continuum of Care.
Item 21 concerned negotiations with the county on the Continuum of Care relationship and the LA Alliance lawsuit. The Council President called it for closed session (1:59:14), the same continuing matter taken up in closed session the week before.
One caller objected to the city taking over the Continuum of Care role. There is no captioned speech from the closed session itself; the video shows city segments in the interval.
On return, the clerk called the roll and the item was continued to October 23 without objection.

TAP-to-Exit Faregate Support

Item 3: the Transportation Committee report on a motion by Nazarian and Yaroslavsky instructs the Fire Department to support Metro's TAP-to-Exit and faregate installation and requires quarterly LAPD and LAFD reports. Adopted 11-0.

Small Business ADA Compliance Support

Item 4: reports on ADA non-compliance, an outreach plan, a micro-grant feasibility study and ADA settlement costs, from a motion by Jurado and Nazarian. Adopted 11-0.

Vacant to Vibrant Storefront Program

Automated Bus Lane Enforcement Program

Item 16: transit-only lane resolution for six DASH routes, updated LADOT plate recognition policy and a one-year report back. Adopted 13-1.

Wildfire Local Emergency Continuation

Capital Infrastructure Plan Impact Review

Item 18: reports on the Mayor's proposed Capital Infrastructure Plan and the Bureau of Engineering's capital project intake process (Padilla and Park). Adopted 14-0.

Axon Lightpost Pilot Program

Item 20: continued to October 27 (10-0). The Council asserted jurisdiction over the Police Commission's September 22 action on October 6.

New motions posted and referred

LAPD Federal Search Warrant Participation: report on LAPD participation in the October 19 federal warrant operations in Wilmington.
Council District 10 Encampment Outreach Contract (Hutt): 200,000 dollars through December 31, 2027.

Public comment

39:00-1:44:50

The span includes the Riverwalk, license plate reader, public bank and Continuum of Care comment above; the rest, about 42 minutes, was general comment.
The City Attorney read new instructions under SB 707: one minute per item up to three minutes, one minute of general comment, and speakers must stay on topic or forfeit their time. Interpreters paused the clock for Spanish. Items open to comment: 1, 2, 15 through 19 and 21.
Other topics: restrictions tied to the fire emergency (item 15), where a landlord-group speaker said the restrictions continue without data on who is harmed, and a caller criticized the fire-recovery pace; the item 19 cleanup transfer (about 400,000 dollars); sewer and quick-claim items 1 and 2; a request for a schedule on a Florence-area project; violence against Black women and girls and budget funding; accessibility for people with disabilities; animal welfare; and a Christmas parade venue.
Several callers were warned for off-topic or abusive remarks, and a repeat caller was told further disruption could lead to exclusion under Council rules 7 and 12.

Other business

28:35-39:00, 1:44:50-1:45:27, 3:01:20-3:10:12

Roll call: ten members at the start, a quorum. Minutes of October 20 approved and commendatory resolutions adopted. The Council President recognized the National Foster Youth Institute's Los Angeles chapter for Foster Youth Shadow Day.
Items 2 through 6, 8, 11, 12, 14 and 22 passed together (11 ayes). Item 12's ordinance was reconsidered and adopted (12 ayes each); item 22 carried a time limit of October 23 and needed ten votes. Item 7 passed as amended by Lee (14 ayes). A roll call of 14 ayes at about 1:44:50 followed the end of public comment; the captions do not say which remaining items it covered.
Motions were posted and referred; there were no announcements.
Adjourning motions: Nazarian honored a longtime leader of the Armenian community who died. The Council President, joined by the family and detectives, honored a 16-year-old killed by a driver who fled the scene in September, and said 65 people have been killed in traffic collisions in the city this year per the captions (see Fatal Crash Rapid Response Program).
Minutes versus captions: the journal gives item-by-item tallies. Items 1 and 2 passed 14-0, items 7, 9 and 13 passed 14-0 as amended, and items 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 22 each passed 11-0; the captions' single "11 ayes" for a group of items and its note that one roll call's coverage is unclear are superseded by these tallies. The journal records no public comment; the speakers above are from the captions.
Adjourned at 3:10:09.

Based on human-uploaded captions, which may still contain errors; names, numbers and some vote tallies are garbled in places. Some Spanish appears in the city-produced segments and interpretation.

00:01everybody can enjoy it for many

00:02years. It's important that

00:04everyone remembers. It's a

00:04shared responsibility to

00:06maintain and protect our public

00:08spaces. We appreciate everybody

00:10picking up after themselves and

00:11making sure that if there is

00:14anything wrong with the play

00:15structure that they report it

00:17right away so it can be

00:18addressed. Yes Vito Pegamos aqui

00:20a labio terrace, a agustinos con

00:21Los ninos es un parque renovado

00:24muy excelente para me. From the

00:31fourth floor of the rotunda in

00:33City Hall, where I'm standing

00:34right now, you can see the

00:36rotunda floor made with more

00:38than 45 types of marble in the

00:41center is a bronze Spanish ship

00:42representing the early Pacific

00:44explorers. And if you look up,

00:47you'll see figures in the dome

00:48representing things like

00:50government, education and

00:52protection. And when it comes to

00:54protection, this fire season,

00:56Los Angeles brought in some

00:57experts of its own for the 33rd

01:00year in a row, the government of

01:03Quebec has sent two super

01:04scooper planes to Van Nuys

01:05Airport, along with pilots and

01:07mechanics, giving firefighters a

01:10powerful tool from the air. On

01:18behalf of the Los Angeles Board

01:19of Airport Commissioners and Los

01:22Angeles World Airports, Lawa, I

01:24am proud to welcome the return

01:26of the two Canada Air CL 415

01:30Super Scoopers to their Southern

01:32California home at Van Nuys

01:34Airport. These two super

01:38scoopers behind me protect all

01:41of the 88 cities in the county

01:43of Los Angeles. In addition to

01:44our neighboring counties, these

01:47CL 415 have fought fire in

01:48Ventura and Orange counties, and

01:50they're a valuable resource for

01:52us. For 33 years, Quebec has

01:59provided our county with these

02:01aircraft, along with the skilled

02:03pilots and mechanics who operate

02:04and maintain them during peak

02:06fire season here in Los Angeles

02:09County. These aircrafts give our

02:12firefighters a powerful tool.

02:14But equipment alone cannot keep

02:15our communities safe. Wildfire

02:18safety requires all of us to do

02:21our part. So we're we're happy

02:30to be here every year. And also

02:32for our Quebec pilots, it's a

02:33way to gain specialized

02:36expertise in training in a

02:37terrain that's that's certainly

02:38very different from Quebec. So

02:42every year, the aircraft and the

02:46crews come to support Los

02:47Angeles County Fire Department

02:49in their firefighting efforts

02:50during the busiest firefighting

02:53season in the year. These are

02:57really model examples of our

03:00governments that are working

03:01together to protect our

03:03communities.

03:1825 years ago today, I was part

03:20of a Los Angeles Fire Department

03:25Urban Search and rescue team

03:26that was deployed to ground Zero

03:29right after the nine over 11

03:32attacks.

03:43We're here to remember the

03:45incidents of nine over 11, the

03:47lives that were lost, the people

03:49that were lost. But to also

03:51remember how we came together as

03:53a country. There were our

03:54neighbors at that moment, and we

03:57helped them. They went because

04:00people were trapped. They went

04:03because they recognized that

04:05people needed help and they went

04:08because they were firefighters.

04:13There was a terrible sense of

04:15helplessness watching what was

04:16happening. 3000 miles away,

04:19wondering about people you cared

04:21about while knowing that police

04:23officers, firefighters,

04:25paramedics and so many others

04:26were running directly toward

04:29something the rest of the world

04:30was watching in horror. Today

04:35we're here at the French

04:37Conscience Training Center,

04:38commemorating the 25th

04:41anniversary of the nine over 11

04:42attacks on the twin Towers.

04:45We're uplifting and remembering

04:46all of the first responders, all

04:49of the people who stepped up to

04:51be brave to save people's lives

04:53, and to remind the generations

04:55that have come after the attack

04:57of what occurred, so that we

04:59never, ever forget what bravery

05:01looks like in this country and

05:02what it looks like for people to

05:04step up to save people. Nine

05:06over 11 2001 was a very sad day

05:10. It was a terrible day in the

05:13history of our country and the

05:14history of the world. So we're

05:16here to thank everyone. We're

05:18here to honor everyone and we're

05:21here to say we don't want this

05:23to happen again. We can't let

05:25this happen again in the city.

05:27Now we go on thousands of calls

05:29every day. We know that we're

05:32doing this to provide a service

05:34for the for our community. So as

05:38we're experiencing crises, as

05:39we're experiencing different

05:41horrors that intend to divide

05:42us, we must follow the steps of

05:44people from nine over 11 and

05:45what they did and stick together

05:48and protect our communities. Oh,

05:51say, can you see by the dawn's

05:57early light, what so proudly we

06:03hailed at the twilight's last

06:07gleaming. We are the city of Los

06:14Angeles with the Mayor's Office

06:15of Economic Opportunity, and we

06:16are here today to celebrate the

06:18kickoff of the Angelino Court

06:19program for the 2026, 2027 year.

06:22The Angelino Courts program is a

06:25ten month internship program.

06:26All 300 Angelenos who are here

06:29today are ages 18 to 30, who

06:31receive work experience for ten

06:33months in one of the six sectors

06:35that we offer a majority of the

06:36Angelenos that are enrolled into

06:37our program are in school. So

06:40it's hard. You know, sometimes a

06:42lot of workplaces ask you to

06:44have 2 or 3 years worth of

06:46experience. So the Angelino

06:48Corps members program is

06:49awesome. They're learning hands

06:51on right there. And then we are

06:52able to balance those working

06:55hours for them to still get work

06:56experience and being able to

06:58develop skills and add it to

06:59their resume. They're going to

07:01receive professional development

07:02. They're going to receive

07:04stipends, monthly stipends for

07:05all of the work that they're

07:07doing for the city and for the

07:08communities and the place that

07:09they call home. I'm one of the

07:12successful stories I have

07:12completed with the program. The

07:14ten month program, and secured

07:16employment. As you can see, I do

07:18have big plans. I'm actually

07:19going to get my master's in

07:21education, so hopefully in five

07:23years I'll be a school counselor

07:26myself. I was a Boyle High

07:27Technology User Center

07:29participant during my early

07:30years. It was difficult to get

07:33that work experience while being

07:33in school. But now for the last

07:35three years, I've been a full

07:37time case manager under the

07:38Angelino court program. Our hope

07:40is that by students

07:41participating in the Angelina

07:42court program, that they're

07:43going to be able to set

07:46themselves up for the future.

07:46It's going to be important that

07:48you just come willing to learn.

07:49You're going to have a mentor

07:52that's going to set you up for

07:53success and work with you over

07:54the next ten months. Coming in,

07:55we know you already have

07:57something within you that's

07:58really pushing you. We tell

07:59everybody, take every single

08:01advantage of everything you can

08:02learn and just really, you know,

08:03explore it. Maybe you think you

08:04don't have a skill or an

08:06expertise yet, but once you're

08:07there, you actually learn that

08:08you do have some expertise.

08:10We're here to really help you

08:11grow those skills and just be

08:13able to be whatever it is you

08:15want to be. And wherever your

08:16goals take you, we're really

08:18there to support you. On the

08:2326th floor is the Hall of

08:24Mayors, featuring portraits of

08:26former Los Angeles mayors,

08:27including Tom Bradley, who was

08:30the city's first black mayor,

08:31and its longest serving holding

08:34office from. 1973 to 1993. Now,

08:39this hall is just one of the

08:41many places in LA that honors

08:43people from the monuments in

08:43MacArthur Park and the memorials

08:46in Grant Park to the Hollywood

08:48Walk of Fame and the Grammy

08:49Museum. Recently, the iconic

08:52Mexican group Los Angeles Azules

08:53were honored for their decades

08:56of telling their stories through

08:57the music of cumbia and council

08:59member Imelda Padilla and others

09:02celebrated the group and their

09:03rich connection to the San

09:05Fernando Valley community.

09:08Today, in the community of

09:10Panorama City, we welcomed one

09:13of the most globally recognized

09:14cumbia groups from Mexico, Los

09:16Angeles Azules to name Van Nuys

09:20Boulevard and Chase Street.

09:20After them. There is no group as

09:23big as Grande with beautiful

09:25songs and lyrics like Los

09:27Angeles Azules and Here We Are

09:29today, soy fan de Los Angeles

09:33Azules y desde muy tempranito

09:35estoy aqui esperando a llegaron

09:36ya Los ve ya grave mucho y me

09:39voy muy contento de este evento.

09:41Qué nos estoy aqui super

09:43contenta porque Los Angeles

09:56ciudad van nuys. Pues imaginate

09:58cada vez. Qué pasa por aqui. Me

10:01VA a recordar a mi a mi gente de

10:02Ella. This feels like a very

10:05full circle moment for me. But

10:07more than anything, it's a full

10:08circle moment for this community

10:10because we made sure that

10:11communities like Panorama City

10:13and Arleta were at the table

10:15about what they wanted in Van

10:16Nuys Boulevard and what we want

10:19our businesses that we're happy

10:21to go shopping to. We want

10:22pocket parks that we can utilize

10:25. We want restaurants where we

10:27know we're going to be able to

10:29have a good time and be safe.

10:31Our community wants to come

10:33outside and celebrate our

10:34differences more than fight over

10:36them. Pedro de Los Angeles

10:40Azules igual ustedes van

10:41creciendo poco poquito yo voy a

10:44estar reconocimiento Los

10:45emociona mucho. Porque estamos

10:48aqui con todos ustedes cada uno

10:50de ustedes. Sabe de alguna

10:53cancion de Los Angeles azules.

10:54Aqui en su Corazon. Panorama We

11:07are in the heart of the harbor

11:09of Wilmington, California. Part

11:10of the one five. And we are

11:13celebrating Labor Day. We have

11:14the 47th annual Labor Day Parade

11:17, rally and picnic right here in

11:20banning Park. And besides

11:27advocating for workers in the

11:29workplace, we're also having a

11:31lot of fun. I am here

11:38celebrating with all the unions,

11:39which is extremely important,

11:42and that is to recognize our

11:44Labor Day every year. I tell

11:46everybody the unions have done

11:48an amazing job when it comes to

11:50working for working class people

11:52and that is what is important is

11:53that we make these people go to

11:55work every day, and for them to

11:57have someone to fight for them

11:58every day, that is truly a

12:00blessing. This is an event where

12:01we're allowed to represent and

12:04to recognize the different

12:06organizations, the different the

12:08over 200 local unions that

12:11create the opportunities here in

12:12the harbor area that employ

12:15people that keep our community

12:16driving forward and are the

12:17economic drivers of everything

12:19that happened here in the harbor

12:22area. We have to honor all those

12:25who fought for our rights from

12:28the beginning. That's why we're

12:30here. It's because all those who

12:32fought for us, they got it done

12:34and we're going to keep on

12:35getting it done and happy Labor

12:38Day to all all the labor unions,

12:40all the trade unions, everybody.

12:42Let's do this unity in the

12:44community. Well, the labor

12:46movement has been so important

12:48to the development of this

12:49country. The labor movement

12:51brought us the 40 hour workweek.

12:51It brought many folks health

12:54benefits. It has brought folks

12:55safety in the workplace. And so

12:57it's really important for us to

12:59make sure that we hang on to

13:01those values. My district has

13:02been watch to the Waterfront and

13:04here in the harbor area, we

13:07provide 1 in 9 jobs in the

13:09entire LA county. And so what's

13:11important for folks who have

13:12those jobs is to make sure we

13:14keep those jobs. We're here at

13:23MacArthur Park tonight. It's the

13:25first fall Friday nights of the

13:26year, the biggest goal and

13:27motivation for fall Friday

13:29nights is really to bring

13:31families to the park, fall

13:32Friday nights is a part of our

13:33comprehensive strategy to

13:35improve neighborhood safety here

13:36in the MacArthur Park corridor.

13:38And the Westlake Community.

13:40There's lots of negative

13:41narratives about this community,

13:43but really, people have a sense

13:45of pride where they live. I

13:47think we need more events like

13:48this. We need the city to be

13:51involved a little more. So that

13:52the people can feel safe. You

13:53know, that they can have

13:54something to come to and not

13:56just the park that has

13:57challenges. We understand that

13:58there's a lot of need. We

14:00understand that kids just went

14:01back to school, that we're not

14:03only looking for activities for

14:04kids after school, but we're

14:06also just trying to assist

14:07families that are working hard

14:09to make it day by day. Keep our

14:12family source center has joined

14:13us to bring many more resources

14:15to this community, along with

14:17public health resources, food

14:19giveaways, recreation

14:20activities. We're just having a

14:22great time here in MacArthur

14:23Park and it's so important

14:25because we really want to show

14:27how many families are here at

14:28the park. They're playing

14:30soccer, they're having lunch

14:31here. They're bringing their

14:31families. The more that we can

14:33supplement that by saying, hey,

14:35let's do a soccer clinic with

14:37you. Let's do some breakdancing,

14:38which is what's happening

14:39tonight. Tommy Junio is also

14:40going to be doing some food

14:42distribution. We're going to

14:42have some events coming up in

14:45October, you know, encourage the

14:45community to come out and have

14:47some fun. We're going to be

14:48having a Halloween event that is

14:49hosted by Recreation and Parks

14:51here on October 31st. We're

14:52going to be looking into hosting

14:54something for the Los Muertos as

14:55well. So there's going to be a

14:57lot more events like this. And

14:59we're really excited to take

15:00part in them and to show the

15:02community that we're here with

15:03them. They can always call our

15:05office with any questions and

15:06any assistance that you might

15:07need. We're here to help. We're

15:09excited about families returning

15:10to MacArthur Park and more

15:11importantly, about activating

15:12the park differently. The goal

15:14is to have 1000 families every

15:17Friday. A fall Friday night.

15:18Looking forward to seeing you

15:19here. This is city Hall's

15:27observation deck on the 27th

15:29floor. What a sight. And right

15:32above us is the Lindbergh

15:33Beacon. Now, when city Hall

15:35opened in 1928, President Calvin

15:38Coolidge turned it on from the

15:39white House and today, it only

15:41lights up for special occasions

15:44. Recently, an historic Filipino

15:45town there was a special

15:47occasion worth gathering for the

15:49hi fi fall Festival celebrated

15:51its one year anniversary, filled

15:54with music, local food vendors

15:55and the joy of people coming

15:58together. Today, we are at

16:05Cancer Corner at Hi-Fi Unidad

16:07Park. We are celebrating our one

16:10year anniversary of our event.

16:12What you can find is that it's

16:13just an all inclusive community

16:15event. Part of the reason we put

16:17this event on is because we

16:18wanted visibility for our

16:20culture. We are here for the

16:22first time. You're going to get

16:23a dose of Filipino music,

16:27Filipino art. This is one of the

16:28best ways to support local

16:30businesses, especially as we are

16:32facing gentrification and

16:34displacement in this community.

16:35You're going to hear several

16:36different languages that are not

16:38often represented in these

16:40systems, because we're taught to

16:42learn English from a young age,

16:44even in the Philippines. But

16:46here you're going to get to hear

16:47Tagalog spoken, maybe even

16:49Ilokano. What I found so

16:50appealing with cancer Corner is

16:52that it touches all of my

16:54interests community, give back

16:56along with working with local

16:57Los Angeles nonprofits as well

16:59as small businesses for example,

17:02LA Clinica. They are local to

17:04this area. Echo Park, so not too

17:07far. The Filipino Worker Center

17:08is here. My place here is today

17:11they're offering free services

17:11to the community. We also offer

17:14mutual aid, where we partnered

17:15with Vicente Family Farms and

17:17Temple Seafood Market. They have

17:19provided free groceries to the

17:21community members here. So while

17:23supplies last, we have free

17:24groceries. A lot of our

17:28performers have either

17:30connections in historic Filipino

17:31town or either brand new, or

17:33they are local. Today is fall

17:35Fest. We just had summer Fest in

17:37July and spring Fest in April,

17:40and then we'll have again in

17:41winter sometime in December. I

17:43hope you get to come next time,

17:45because a lot of these systems

17:47in place want us to be by

17:49ourselves and here you actually

17:50get to be with each other, even

17:53connect with a part of yourself

17:55that you can't experience

17:56anywhere else. These events are

17:57very important for our community

17:59because we need spaces where we

18:01can really celebrate each other

18:03, feel safe amongst each other,

18:04connect with each other,

18:04especially with the current

18:06climate of how things are. This

18:08is a community of made of

18:09immigrants. So we have this

18:12space here because we want to

18:13make sure people feel seen and

18:15safe and heard. Everyone please,

18:18I hope to see you soon. Here at

18:19the next Console Corner Festival

18:21here in Historic Filipino Town.

18:22Manga kababayan kita kita po

18:24tayo dito sa Kanto Corners a

18:26historic Filipino town in Unidad

18:28Park. Come out and join us today

18:37at the Caribbean Heritage

18:37Festival. We are here and we're

18:39all bringing our special

18:40contents like our music, our

18:43food. There's clothing, so it's

18:45so important to come and connect

18:47and network with all the other

18:48countries here today. God's

18:50things for the kids to its

18:51amazing, amazing day and I'm

18:53glad to see all the

18:54representation. So I'm

18:56representing Belize, but we also

18:58got all the different countries

18:59in the Caribbean here. You know

19:00Trini, we got Barbados, we got

19:02Haiti, we got everybody Los

19:04Angeles is a big home to lots of

19:07people from the Caribbean, right

19:08here in the heart of the African

19:10American community. It's so

19:10important to have this

19:11celebration. So many of us come

19:13from the African continent and

19:14went through slavery. Some

19:16people went to the Caribbean and

19:17they came here and so we're

19:18excited to celebrate the

19:19culture, the music, the fight,

19:21the struggle that's present here

19:23in Los Angeles. Make sure that

19:25you incorporate all your friends

19:26into our community, because we

19:28kind of really need that in the

19:29LA area. It's always great to

19:31see us come together and

19:33celebrate one another and again

19:35see that there's other people

19:37like us out here as well. We do

19:39this every year and we're going

19:40to continue to do it because the

19:42people call for it. South LA is

19:43where people want to be, where

19:45the Caribbean community wants to

19:47be. Eventually, we're going to

19:47have carnival here like they do

19:50in Toronto and New York City and

19:51other places around the globe.

19:52Los Angeles is a home to a

19:54powerful Caribbean community,

19:56Caribbean people. We're very

19:58warm. We're very we integrate a

20:00lot of people together. It's all

20:03about the food and the dancing

20:04and the music and just having a

20:05good time. We love everybody.

20:07It's a great day to come

20:10celebrate. Today is the Saint

20:17Joseph Center Fall Connect Day.

20:20We have a host of different

20:23activities and resources from

20:25the county, from the city, from

20:27across Los Angeles, really

20:29dedicated to helping folks who

20:30are experiencing homelessness,

20:32housing insecurity and folks who

20:35just need to make sure that they

20:36have information available to

20:38them. We basically invited tons

20:40of families and communities for

20:43resources that we have available

20:45here today. We have DPS, we have

20:48Department of Mental Health. We

20:49also have Cd11, T-Mobile, and we

20:51also have a few barbers who

20:54dedicated their time to be here

20:55today as well. So ahorita estan

20:58Dando juguetes ropa y comida

21:02para las personas. Corte de pelo

21:03y para las comida no tiene pues

21:07ahorita este es muy buena idea

21:08de la obtuvieron para hacer este

21:11este dia. Saint Joseph Center is

21:15one of the largest homeless

21:17services and housing

21:18organizations in the entire

21:19county. It's totally open to the

21:21community and free, and we're

21:23expecting hundreds of people to

21:24come through today. We'd like to

21:26say thank you to Saint Joseph

21:27Center, all the great work they

21:29do in the community. We have a

21:31long standing partnership with

21:32them, so, you know, anytime that

21:34we can help support what their

21:36efforts are for the community,

21:38we want to do that right. So we

21:39help them out with all their

21:41communications and everything

21:41else. The networking. And again,

21:44we're just here to support we

21:45value their partnership and all

21:47the great things they do. People

21:52don't realize that in LA County,

21:54there are 1.1 million people who

21:57identify as having a physical

21:59disability. That's 10% of our

22:01county. The CTP, the

22:05self-evaluation and transition

22:06plan is something that the Ada

22:08requires of all city and county

22:10governments across the nation.

22:12The city of Los Angeles did one

22:14back in 2000. We decided rather

22:16than just try and update it,

22:17that there's quite frankly, so

22:19much work to be done that we're

22:21going to take a self-evaluation

22:22from the beginning. We've got

22:24thousands of facilities to look

22:25at and programs the city

22:27department on Disability really

22:28understands how frustrating it

22:30can be when somebody runs into

22:32noncompliance, whether that's a

22:34sidewalk, a park, a library, an

22:36arts event. I represent blind

22:41people from San Diego to

22:42Humboldt, and I'm here to thank

22:44you, first of all, for meeting.

22:45But you need to start changing

22:48things. The comments are very

22:51impassioned and a lot of

22:55frustration. We really need to

22:57make sure that it works for the

22:59people who are going to be

23:01serviced by it, and we really

23:02want to change the framework

23:05from kind of an afterthought to

23:08something that's more proactive

23:10. When my grandmother, um, had

23:13lung cancer, they had to sever

23:14nerves in her spine and

23:17overnight she could never walk

23:19again. She acquired her

23:20disabilities overnight. And that

23:21was before Ada watching my

23:24grandmother have to navigate a

23:25world that was really hostile at

23:28the time. Um, just makes me want

23:31to make sure that we break down

23:33those barriers for everyone so

23:34that they never have to feel

23:36like the world no longer wants

23:37them around. I had a spinal cord

23:41injury at the age of 21. Over 50

23:43years ago, and it introduced me

23:45to the community and the

23:46oppression that we live with and

23:49experience on a daily basis of

23:51lack of opportunities to

23:54interact or go into a building

23:56or participate in employment. I

24:00decided that I wanted to

24:03influence a way for all of us to

24:06be able to really live our best

24:08lives without feeling like we

24:11can't be a part of something,

24:13come to these meetings and make

24:15your voice heard because that's

24:18a critical part. We're looking

24:20at accessibility from the big

24:21picture. We're putting a lot of

24:23resources, energy and expertise

24:24to it. And it's something that,

24:26quite frankly, is the DoD's the

24:27Department of Disabilities top

24:29priority. We're getting answers

24:30that we know that the Department

24:33of Disabilities and the mayor

24:35and the council are going to act

24:36on, and that's really exciting.

24:38We've put a survey out there you

24:39can find on our website

24:41disability dot, L.A. city Dot

24:43gov. Complete the survey through

24:45October 15th. That questionnaire

24:47allows people to really talk

24:48about what barriers they've run

24:50into. Take the survey because,

24:51you know, people are going to do

24:53something about it. From the

24:58observation deck at City Hall,

25:00you can see neighborhoods in

25:01every direction. Each one of

25:04them filled with cultural joy,

25:05vibrant history, and a bit of

25:08that la La Land magic. Thanks in

25:10part to the civic leaders who

25:12work at a place built for the

25:13people Los Angeles City Hall.

1:47:32>> Council President:

1:47:33COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ.

1:47:34>> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU.

1:47:35COLLEAGUES, I KNOW WE ALL SHARE

1:47:37THE CONCERNS WITH SO MANY

1:47:40RESTAURANTS THAT ARE BEING

1:47:43ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LOCAL

1:47:44ECONOMY.

1:47:46CLOSING LEFT AND RIGHT, OPENING

1:47:50A RESTAURANT REQUIRES AN

1:47:51INVESTMENT.

1:47:52IT'S HARD TO GET PERMITS AND WE

1:47:56CAN STREAMLINE.

1:47:57THIS IS A LOGICAL FIX TO THE

1:48:03OIL ORDINANCE.

1:48:05OUR COST FORMULA USED TO

1:48:07DETERMINE THE GREASE TRAP

1:48:08INSTALLATION HAS NOT BEEN

1:48:10UPDATED FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

1:48:12IN THE 2000, 100,000 INVESTMENT

1:48:15WAS THE THRESHOLD USED TO ALLOW

1:48:18SMALL BUSINESSES TO SMALL

1:48:20CHANGES RATHER TO KITCHENS

1:48:22WITHOUT REQUIRING MORE

1:48:24EXPENSIVE UPGRADES.

1:48:26HAS COSTS HAVE INCREASED THIS

1:48:29HAS BECOME AN INVESTMENT IN

1:48:31THEIR GROWING BUSINESS.

1:48:32THROUGH THIS MOTION WE WILL

1:48:35ADJUST PERIODICALLY TO ALIGN IT

1:48:37WITH THE CPI.

1:48:38FATS OIL AND GREASE PROGRAM HAS

1:48:42MADE MAJOR GAINS IN REDUCING TO

1:48:45OUR SEWERS.

1:48:47OVER 90 PERCENT DECREASE FAT

1:48:51BREAKING SEWER LINES SINCE

1:48:5412,000.

1:48:54THE WORK OF RIGHT SIZING OUR

1:48:57EXISTING REGULATIONS MAY NOT BE

1:48:59THE MOST SEXY ISSUE BUT IN DEED

1:49:01THEY ARE SOME OF THE MOST

1:49:04TANGIBLE WAYS THAT WE CAN MAKE

1:49:05A DIFFERENCE IN SUPPORTING THE

1:49:07BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUGGLING

1:49:08RIGHT NOW AND IT SHOWS HOW

1:49:09WE'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIVE TO

1:49:11THE CRIES FOR HELP THAT THEY'RE

1:49:12SEEKING.

1:49:13THE OWN OF COST ISSUE, THIS IS

1:49:15A STATEMENT OF VALUES.

1:49:18LET'S DO OUR PART THAT MAKE A

1:49:20BIG IMPACT FOR OUR RESTAURANT

1:49:22OWNERS AND I ASK FOR YOUR

1:49:25AYE-VOTE.

1:49:29ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE.

1:49:31>> Clerk: 14 AYES.

1:49:32>> Council President: EXCELLENT

1:49:33WORK ON THIS ISSUE.

1:49:35WHAT'S NEXT.

1:49:37>> Clerk: ITEM 18 CALLED

1:49:40SPECIAL BY COUNCILMEMBER LEE.

1:49:42>> Council President: MR. LEE.

1:49:43>> J. Lee: THANK YOU I WANT TO

1:49:45FIRST THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR

1:49:49SUCH A ROBUST CONVERSATION IN

1:49:54PUBLIC SAFETY SURROUNDING THE

1:49:56USE OF LICENSE PLATE READERS.

1:50:00THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION OF

1:50:02ITEM 16 TO ADOPT L.A. DOT'S

1:50:06AUTOMATIC PLATE RECOGNITION

1:50:07USED POLICY.

1:50:09UNDER THE AUTHORIZED USER, IT

1:50:13STATES AUTHORIZED USERS ALSO

1:50:16INCLUDES CONTRACTORS THAT AID

1:50:18L.A. DOT.

1:50:20GIVEN THE MASTER DATA LICENSE

1:50:22IS BETWEEN THE CITY AND HAIDEN

1:50:26AI ARE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS

1:50:27CONTRACT AND HAVING ACCESS TO

1:50:30WATCH CITY DATA.

1:50:33AND ALSO ACCUSATIONS BETWEEN

1:50:38FOUNDERS AND ESPIONAGE.

1:50:38WHILE THIS IS NOT TO APPEAR TO

1:50:42HAVE AFFECTED THE CITY OF LOS

1:50:45ANGELES RESIDENTS, THESE ARE

1:50:48NEVERTHELESS SERIOUS

1:50:49ACCUSATIONS THAT SHOULD BE

1:50:50CONSIDERED BY THIS BODY AS WE

1:50:51DETERMINE THE PATH FORWARD FOR

1:50:52IF THE USE OF AOPRs FOR OUR

1:50:56CITY.

1:50:57IT SEEMS LIKE THE CONSENSUS

1:51:00AROUND AOPR USE IS THAT ONLY

1:51:02THE CITY SHALL MAINTAIN

1:51:03OWNERSHIP OF ALL DATA

1:51:05COLLECTED, AND THAT THIS DATA

1:51:07SHALL NOT BE SHARED WITH

1:51:09PRIVATE CONTRACTORS EVEN IF

1:51:10THEY ARE THE PROVIDERS OF SUCH

1:51:12TECHNOLOGY.

1:51:13AND NOW WHILE THE POLICE

1:51:15COMMISSION MADE SURE THAT ALL

1:51:17THE THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR

1:51:19MOU, IT APPEARS THAT DOT'S DOPR

1:51:23DOES THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS

1:51:25DISCUSSED IN YESTERDAY'S PUBLIC

1:51:27SAFETY COMMITTEE SURROUND ISING

1:51:31LAPD MORE ROBUST POLICIES OF

1:51:35ALPRs.

1:51:37LASTLY THIS BODY HAS CLEAR THAT

1:51:40IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO

1:51:41TARGET INDIVIDUALS.

1:51:43HOWEVER ON PAGE 10 USE POLICY

1:51:45IT PROVIDES AN EXCEPTION FOR

1:51:47BOTH DOT AND ITS CONTRACTOR AND

1:51:50SUB CONTRACTORS TO AGGREGATE

1:51:53FOR ENFORCEMENT ACTION HISTORY

1:51:55DATA RELEVANT TO SPECIFIC

1:51:58VEHICLES AND REGISTERED

1:51:59INDIVIDUALS.

1:52:00EVEN THOUGH, ITEM 20 IS A

1:52:02PRIVATE PROJECT IN COUNCIL

1:52:04DISTRICT 3, EVEN THOUGH THE

1:52:07POLICE COMMISSION HAS RESPONDED

1:52:08BACK TO US WITH ALL THE

1:52:10SAFEGUARDS WE HAVE ASKED FOR,

1:52:11WE ARE NOW READY TO RUBBER

1:52:15STAMP ANOTHER ITEM.

1:52:16IT APPEARS THAT THIS BODY DOES

1:52:17NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE

1:52:20TECHNOLOGY BUT RATHER TAKES

1:52:22EXCEPTION TO WHICH DEPARTMENT

1:52:25USES IT.

1:52:25THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.

1:52:26>> Council President: THANK YOU

1:52:27SO MUCH MR. LEE.

1:52:28COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ?

1:52:31>> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU MR.

1:52:32LEE.

1:52:34AND I APPRECIATE YOU EXPOSING

1:52:38THE INCONSISTENCIES WHEN IF

1:52:40COMES TO WHICH AGENCY IS

1:52:43AUTHORIZED OR NOT AUTHORIZED,

1:52:45WHAT GUARD RAILS EXIST AND IT'S

1:52:46ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I

1:52:48INTRODUCED A MOTION TO SAY THAT

1:52:50AS WE LOOK AT DATA USAGE AND

1:52:53DATA COLLECTION ACROSS ANY OF

1:52:55OUR DEPARTMENTS, IT SHOULDN'T

1:52:58BE A SINGLING OUT OF ANY ONE

1:53:00DEPARTMENT OVER ANOTHER, WE

1:53:01SHOULD HAVE THESE PROTECTIONS

1:53:05WITH DATA SHARING ACROSS ALL

1:53:07CITY DEPARTMENTS ACROSS EVERY

1:53:08SINGLE CONTRACT.

1:53:10BUT, YOU CLEARLY EXPOSED SOME

1:53:12OF THE VULNERABILITIES AND THE

1:53:14POTENTIAL FOR DOING THE VERY

1:53:16SAME THING THAT SOME OF OUR

1:53:18COLLEAGUES CLAIM THAT WAS GOING

1:53:20TO OCCUR WITH L.A.'S USAGE OF

1:53:24IT IT'S INCONSISTENT AND IT'S

1:53:29UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE IF THE

1:53:31RATIONAL IS ABOUT PROTECTING

1:53:33THE DATA, IT SHOULD BE ABOUT

1:53:35PROTECTING THE DATA ACROSS THE

1:53:36BOARD.

1:53:37IT SHOULD NOT BE SELECTIVE

1:53:38APPLICATION.

1:53:39I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPOSING

1:53:41THIS, I THINK IT'S PROBLEMATIC.

1:53:45AND I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE

1:53:46TO TALK ABOUT THE GUARD RAILS

1:53:48BUT THERE WAS A REASON WHY I

1:53:51WAS COMFORTABLE WITH ADVANCE

1:53:52ISING THE ITEM WHEN IT CAME TO

1:53:54THE ISSUE WITH THE EXXON

1:53:59CONTRACT AS IT WAS DISCUSSED.

1:54:01THE TRUTH IS, WE DO NEED THE

1:54:03TOOLS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND DOT

1:54:06EVERYONE NEEDS THESE EXTRA SET

1:54:07OF EYES SO WE CAN BETTER AID

1:54:09OUR COMMUNITIES IN HELPING TO

1:54:11ASSURE GREATER PUBLIC SAFETY

1:54:12OUTCOMES.

1:54:14BUT, EVERYONE BETTER BE

1:54:15MEASURED BY ABOUT THE

1:54:17CONSISTENCIES OF HOW THEY

1:54:18APPROACH THESE CONVERSATIONS.

1:54:21THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY THE MOST

1:54:22IMPORTANT PART.

1:54:23WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY

1:54:24ISSUES IN THE CITY, WE ALL NEED

1:54:26TO BE IN THE SAME PAGE AND WE

1:54:28NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE

1:54:30ADVANCING SIMILAR

1:54:31CONSIDERATIONS AS WE APPROACH

1:54:32THESE CONTRACTS.

1:54:34AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M

1:54:36SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BUT ALSO

1:54:41FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE

1:54:43TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S

1:54:46HYPOCRISY AT BEST.

1:54:47THANK YOU.

1:54:47>> Council President: THANK YOU

1:54:49SO MUCH.

1:54:49OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL,

1:54:50TABULATE THE VOTE.

1:54:51>> Clerk: 13 AYES, 1 NO.

1:54:53>> Council President: ALL

1:54:54RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT?

1:54:56>> Clerk: ITEM 17 MOTION

1:54:58YAROSLAVSKY HARRIS-DAWSON TO

1:54:59ADOPT THE BUDGET AND FINANCE

1:55:02REPORT AS WELL AS CALLED

1:55:04SPECIAL BY COUNCILMEMBER JURADO

1:55:06FOR COMMENTS AND RODRIGUEZ FOR

1:55:07SEPARATE VOTE.

1:55:09>> Council President:

1:55:10COUNCILMEMBER JURADO.

1:55:10>> Y. Jurado: THANK YOU,

1:55:11COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

1:55:16I HAVE MY COMMENTS PREPARED.

1:55:21SOMEWHERE ON MY DESK.

1:55:21THANK YOU.

1:55:22I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS MOTION

1:55:25BEFORE US, REPRESENTING A BOLD

1:55:27STEP TOWARDS REIMAGINING WHAT

1:55:28PUBLIC DOLLARS CAN DO FOR LOS

1:55:30ANGELES.

1:55:30TOGETHER SEVERAL OF OUR OFFICES

1:55:31PITCHED IN FOR A PUBLIC BANK

1:55:34FEASIBILITY STUDY BECAUSE WE

1:55:35BELIEVED THIS IDEA WAS WORTH

1:55:37INVESTING IN.

1:55:38WE MADE A COMMITMENT BECAUSE WE

1:55:41ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION, WHY

1:55:43SHOULD PUBLIC MONEY WORK FOR

1:55:44WALL STREET BEFORE IT WORKS FOR

1:55:47ANGELINOS.

1:55:47THIS IS ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE

1:55:50REMAINING MONEY AND KEEP THAT

1:55:51PROMISE MOVING FORWARD.

1:55:53A PUBLIC BANK HAS THE POTENTIAL

1:55:55TO HELP FINANCE AFFORDABLE

1:55:57HOUSING, SUPPORT SMALL

1:55:58BUSINESSES AND INVEST IN

1:56:01STRUCTURE THAT SERVES

1:56:02COMMUNITIES INSTEAD OF PRIVATE

1:56:03PROFIT.

1:56:04RIGHT NOW, THE CITY SPENDS

1:56:07MILLIONS IN FEES A PRIVATE BANK

1:56:10WILL HELP US KEEP THAT MONEY

1:56:12HERE IN L.A.

1:56:14THIS CITY SHOULD INVEST BACK IN

1:56:16THEM.

1:56:17I WANT TO THANK THE BANK

1:56:20COALITION FOR URGING TO PUSH

1:56:22THIS FORWARD AND COLLEAGUES I

1:56:24URGE YOUR SUPPORT.

1:56:25>> Council President: THANK YOU

1:56:25T I HAVE A COUPLE OF MEMBERS ON

1:56:27THE QUEUES FOR THIS.

1:56:28BEGINNING WITH COUNCILMEMBER

1:56:29PARK.

1:56:29>> T. Park: THANK YOU, COUNCIL

1:56:32PRESIDENT.

1:56:33GUYS IF THIS WAS JUST COUNCIL

1:56:38OFFICE OR PHILANTHROPIC

1:56:39DOLLARS, I WOULD SAY GO AHEAD.

1:56:41BUT ABSOLUTELY NO.

1:56:42WE SHOULD NOT BE EXPENDING TO

1:56:48WASTE TIME DOWN THIS RABBIT

1:56:50HOLE.

1:56:50OUR SYSTEM IS IN THE STATE OF

1:56:52COLLAPSE, WE CANNOT TAKE CARE

1:56:54OF OUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE, WE

1:56:57CANNOT EVEN MANAGE OUR DAM

1:56:59FINANCES, NEVER MIND THAT WE

1:57:00DON'T HAVE THE BILLIONS OF

1:57:01DOLLARS THAT WE NEED FOR START

1:57:04UP CAPITALIZATION COST AND

1:57:06EXTRAORDINARY FINANCIAL RISK

1:57:07THIS WOULD REQUIRE TO UNDERTAKE.

1:57:09AND WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND

1:57:11WOULD DO THEIR FINANCIAL

1:57:13BUSINESS AND BANKING WITH THE

1:57:14BANK OF THE CITY OF L.A.

1:57:17ABSOLUTELY NO ONE.

1:57:19WE HAVE AN EARNED THAT TRUST IN

1:57:21WASTING A HALF A MILLION

1:57:22DOLLARS FOR ANOTHER CONSULTANT

1:57:24WHEN WE HAVE STREETLIGHT LIGHTS

1:57:26OUT ACROSS THE CITY IS

1:57:28RIDICULOUS.

1:57:29CAN WE PLEASE FOCUS ON THE

1:57:31ACTUAL PROBLEMS IN FRONT OF US

1:57:32AND SOLVE THOSE BEFORE WE TAKE

1:57:34ON A WHOLE NEW SET OF PROBLEMS.

1:57:38I URGE A NO-VOTE.

1:57:39>> Council President:

1:57:40COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA?

1:57:41>> I. Padilla: I JUST WANTED TO

1:57:43SAY, THAT I AM IN SUPPORT OF

1:57:45THIS STUDY BUT I DO WANT TO

1:57:49REITERATE WHEN I WORK IN THE

1:57:52STUDY, THERE WAS A AN

1:57:54OPPORTUNITY TO FUND OUR OWN

1:57:55HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND ALL

1:57:58SORTS OF IDEAS BUT I WANT TO

1:58:00EMPHASIZE THAT I WANT IN THIS

1:58:02STUDY TO EMPHASIZE AND TELL US

1:58:04HOW THIS CAN BE A WAY TO REDUCE

1:58:08PREDATORY LENDING AND HOW HIGH

1:58:10INTERESTS WOULD BE SENT OUT TO

1:58:12LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS.

1:58:13TO ME THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY

1:58:14AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

1:58:16THIS REPORT INCORPORATES THAT,

1:58:16THANK YOU.

1:58:17>> Council President: THANK YOU

1:58:19SO MUCH COUNCILMEMBERS ON THIS

1:58:21ITEM AND THANK YOU

1:58:23COUNCILMEMBER JURADO FOR YOUR

1:58:24COMMENTS AS WELL.

1:58:26AND I JUST, AS A THIS STUDY

1:58:28GOES FORWARD I HOPE IT'S NOT

1:58:31LOST.

1:58:31AND WORK THAT WAS DONE BEFORE I

1:58:33WAS ON COUNCIL ABOUT MAKING OUR

1:58:36LIBRARIES PLACES WHERE PEOPLE

1:58:39COULD USE INSTEAD OF CHECK

1:58:41CASHING PLACES.

1:58:43WHICH ARE JUST RAMPANT IN OUR

1:58:45DISTRICT AND SO EXPLOITED AND

1:58:50PREDATORY OF OUR MOST

1:58:51VULNERABLE PEOPLE.

1:58:53I HOPE THAT WORK IS INCLUDED.

1:58:56THAT CITY GOT A LONG WAY IN THE

1:58:58PROCESS AND THEN DROPPED WHEN A

1:59:00FEW COUNCILMEMBERS DHAID AND

2:01:02[CITY COUNCIL IN CLOSED

2:01:05EXECUTIVE SESSION]

2:02:18The verse Rattlesnake collection

2:02:19on display. But if we're talking

2:02:20about how commonly rattlesnakes

2:02:22are encountered, the thing is,

2:02:24with rattlesnakes, they are shy,

2:02:26secretive creatures with simple

2:02:28needs. If they have food, water

2:02:30and shelter, they can make just

2:02:32about any place home. Snakes are

2:02:33going to go wherever they find

2:02:35food. One of the best ways you

2:02:37can avoid having snakes come

2:02:39onto your property or into your

2:02:40home is to ensure that if you

2:02:42have any garbage or refuse, you

2:02:43put it in the appropriate cans.

2:02:46Because if there's garbage

2:02:46outside of the cans or outside

2:02:47of your home, those are going to

2:02:49attract rodents. And naturally,

2:02:50rodents are going to attract

2:02:51snakes. In addition to that, you

2:02:54can ensure that you don't have

2:02:54any openings or closings at your

2:02:56foundation or in your attic.

2:02:58Spacing making sure you can

2:02:59clear those up. Make sure you

2:03:00patch them up. Snakes can fit

2:03:02into holes. The size of a

2:03:04quarter, so you know,

2:03:05rattlesnakes are known for their

2:03:08rattle at the end of their tail,

2:03:09right? The sound that they make.

2:03:11But we can't rely on the sound

2:03:14of a rattle to alert you of its

2:03:15presence. Rattlesnakes don't

2:03:16always rattle, you know, if they

2:03:18think they haven't been spotted,

2:03:19they'll often stay quiet. If you

2:03:21see a rattlesnake while you're

2:03:22hiking, walking your dog, or

2:03:25playing in your backyard, or if

2:03:25you hear a rattlesnake, what you

2:03:27want to do is you want to freeze

2:03:29right on your tracks and make

2:03:31sure that you can identify where

2:03:32that snake is at or where that

2:03:34rattle is coming from. Once

2:03:35you've identified where that

2:03:36snake is at, you want to back

2:03:38away slowly to avoid getting

2:03:39bitten. It's important to

2:03:41understand that snakes are only

2:03:42going to strike when they feel

2:03:43threatened and typically they're

2:03:44going to want to get away from

2:03:45you just as much as you want to

2:03:47get away from them. They can

2:03:49strike anywhere from one and a

2:03:50half to two thirds of their body

2:03:52length. So effectively, if you

2:03:53have a three foot snake, they

2:03:55can strike it one and a half to

2:03:57two feet of their length with

2:03:58children, you want to make sure

2:04:01that you keep them, at least at

2:04:02arm's length distance from you,

2:04:03ensuring that you're able to

2:04:04grab them and pull them to

2:04:07safety. When it comes to pets,

2:04:08specifically dogs, while you're

2:04:09hiking on trails, it's important

2:04:10to keep them on a very short

2:04:11leash. Oftentimes, Angelenos

2:04:12like to use the retractable

2:04:14leashes, and those leashes give

2:04:14the dogs a lot of freedom. But

2:04:17they also allow them to get into

2:04:18areas that have been unexplored,

2:04:20effectively putting them in an

2:04:21area where they may be bitten by

2:04:22a rattlesnake. Can rattlesnakes

2:04:23deliver dry bites? Yes So a dry

2:04:25bite is a bite from a venomous

2:04:28snake that does not result in

2:04:29envenomation. That means no

2:04:31venom is delivered through the

2:04:33hollow fangs of the rattlesnake,

2:04:34and it does happen. It's

2:04:36estimated that somewhere between

2:04:3920 to 40% of wild rattlesnake

2:04:40bites are dry bites. But the

2:04:42fact of the matter is, you can't

2:04:45tell just by looking at the

2:04:47bite. If it's a dry bite or not.

2:04:50So every venomous snake bite is

2:04:51a serious medical emergency that

2:04:52needs prompt attention. It is

2:04:56rare that rattlesnakes cause

2:04:57fatalities, but every venomous

2:04:59snake bite is a serious medical

2:05:00emergency, and the only

2:05:02treatment for envenomation is

2:05:03antivenom and that's

2:05:05administered at a hospital. The

2:05:08first and most important step

2:05:09that you should take if you're

2:05:10bitten by a rattlesnake, is to

2:05:12call 911 immediately. There's

2:05:14been a lot of misconceptions

2:05:15when it comes to rattlesnake

2:05:16bites. You do not want to put

2:05:18pressure. You do not want to cut

2:05:20the bite and suck out the venom.

2:05:22Like many people seen on movies

2:05:24and you don't want to put any

2:05:26tourniquets on that affected

2:05:28limb. What you want to do is you

2:05:30want to get the person to try

2:05:31and calm down, try and relax, to

2:05:33keep their heart rate down,

2:05:34because that's going to

2:05:35effectively keep the venom from

2:05:37not spreading as fast. We never

2:05:38treat any strike as a drive

2:05:40bite. We always treat it as an

2:05:42actual bite, and we call 911

2:05:44immediately because that's the

2:05:45best thing you could possibly do

2:05:46to allow your Los Angeles City

2:05:48firefighters and paramedics to

2:05:49arrive on scene, treat that

2:05:51patient and get them to the

2:05:52hospital, or get them to

2:05:53definitive care

2:06:13.

2:06:13Vegetation management here in

2:06:14the Sepulveda Basin has been

2:06:16ongoing. What we've been doing

2:06:18is looking at areas that might

2:06:20have a higher impact of fire

2:06:22spread during high wind events.

2:06:24Any areas that might be

2:06:26connected to brush fire danger

2:06:28and we're taking a look at that

2:06:31and managing the fuel by using

2:06:32our crews, our heavy equipment

2:06:35and goats. Fire grazers. We're a

2:06:43company that mow the lawns of

2:06:46several places all throughout

2:06:48the Los Angeles area, and we use

2:06:51goats. We clear fire, hazardous

2:06:55vegetation. Once they're out

2:06:58here, we've got three guard dogs

2:07:00in there. Now Okay, cool. We're

2:07:02going to protect them and take

2:07:03care of them there. That's how

2:07:04it worked. When I first became a

2:07:06council member and I noticed and

2:07:08caught that every year I had to

2:07:10use some of my discretionary

2:07:11funds to clear the brush here to

2:07:13avoid the fires. I was hoping

2:07:14that we were going to be able to

2:07:16get some goats here, and here we

2:07:18are. And look how beautiful they

2:07:19look. How happy they look. Oh

2:07:21thank you. Everyone is super

2:07:25excited to finally see our city

2:07:27thinking outside the box for

2:07:28something that we know works.

2:07:36They are definitely helping

2:07:37supplement our work. They're

2:07:39consuming the fuel and what it's

2:07:41going to do is it's going to

2:07:42limit the large fire breakout in

2:07:44the summertime by limiting the

2:07:45fuel. Now it's going to help us

2:07:47later. Can I give it a kiss?

2:07:54Yeah Me too, me. Too What these

2:08:01guys are going to do is they're

2:08:04going to devour all the weeds in

2:08:06the area that will turn into

2:08:08flashy fuels later in the

2:08:10season, after they dry out. It's

2:08:13not an invasive procedure. You

2:08:15don't have tractors driving

2:08:17around and we're just very, very

2:08:20, very excited that we're able

2:08:23to support this project. I'm

2:08:26looking to get the goats into my

2:08:28district. We have some hillsides

2:08:30that are tough to clear for

2:08:32humans, but for goats, they'll

2:08:34be a breeze. The goats, their

2:08:36pay is what they eat, and what

2:08:38they eat is what they're

2:08:39supposed to do. So it's all it's

2:08:42a win win scenario, you know,

2:08:43it's it makes sense. I could I

2:08:44could see having some some la

2:08:46goats become, you know, regular

2:08:47city employees.

2:14:18The Lankershim Arts Center was

2:14:19constructed. In 1939 when it was

2:14:25opened in 1939, it was

2:14:27originally a la Department of

2:14:29Water and Power Building. The

2:14:34city of L.A. became the owner of

2:14:36the Lankershim Arts Center when

2:14:38it was declared as a historical,

2:14:40cultural monument on the plaque,

2:14:44its purpose was that it is an

2:14:45example of adaptive reuse. The

2:14:50front building is actually an

2:14:52example of streamline modern

2:14:55design. And then if you come

2:14:59here after, I think it's like 5

2:15:03or 6:00, there's like lighting

2:15:05panels that will turn on and

2:15:08then you get to see the full

2:15:10kind of marquee of the

2:15:11Lankershim Arts Center. We host

2:15:15a bevy of productions, be it

2:15:18dance productions, music

2:15:21productions. Sometimes we'll

2:15:22have a film screening, uh, art.

2:15:25I think that sort of flexibility

2:15:26is something that brings me back

2:15:27every time the theater is very

2:15:31intimate here. It really feels

2:15:33like you're just right up in

2:15:35front of the talent. When you

2:15:36come and watch a show here. We

2:15:40also do youth programing here.

2:15:42We work with a different local

2:15:45artist to be able to provide

2:15:47free programing for children, to

2:15:48learn how to. So we have a

2:15:51fashion class. We have music

2:15:54classes specifically for

2:15:56percussion and drums. We also

2:15:58have another music class for

2:16:00piano, and then we also have a

2:16:02dance studio. It's in our

2:16:04mezzanine that is for our dance

2:16:07class that we have here. Our

2:16:10mission here is just to grow the

2:16:13performing arts, really. So

2:16:16whether it be someone trying to

2:16:17bring out their own original

2:16:20productions or like sometimes we

2:16:22even have different groups come

2:16:24in to teach after school classes

2:16:26being able to grow the

2:16:28performing arts in a community

2:16:29is what makes Lankershim Art

2:16:32center stand out. The city

2:16:36investing into places like this

2:16:38is because it gives a place for

2:16:40people that were not as

2:16:43confident. The ability to

2:16:44express themselves and give a

2:16:46space for people that are a

2:16:49little bit different. Another

2:16:51space to play because being able

2:16:54to play is so important. Just

2:16:57for our mental health as well as

2:17:00for like the health of the

2:17:00community. And it just makes a

2:17:02world a better place. We look

2:17:06forward to having you here at

2:17:08Lankershim Arts Center. Whether

2:17:09it be taking part in our free

2:17:11programing as well as being able

2:17:14to come and just watch a movie

2:17:15or watch a show, we look forward

2:17:17to having you over here on

2:17:19Instagram. Our Instagram handle

2:17:20is DCA underscore lnk. You can

2:17:24also find out more about us on

2:17:26Culture Dot, L.A. city gov.

2:17:28That's our website.

2:18:13The Tosco theater is located in

2:18:14Canoga Park. There is so much

2:18:19already here to offer cultural

2:18:22events, performances, folks do

2:18:24annual Dia de Los Muertos

2:18:26festivals. There is art walks,

2:18:27there's musical events, there's

2:18:30jazz, and I feel like we have

2:18:32the privilege to be added in

2:18:36that offering. The space had

2:18:41been left a little bit weary.

2:18:44And so when the city came in to

2:18:46renovate the space, it was

2:18:47offered another chance to

2:18:49breathe new life into the arts.

2:18:52Here The Tosco Theater is here

2:18:58for everyone. It is here for

2:19:00young artists who are just

2:19:02starting out to the professional

2:19:05artists who are here to dream up

2:19:06their new vision. And we're here

2:19:08for the community at large and

2:19:10all of our community events. One

2:19:14of our signature events is

2:19:16called walking in our Light.

2:19:17This idea of how we help people

2:19:21to encourage them to think about

2:19:23the light that they bring and to

2:19:25show appreciation for those who

2:19:27help to nurture that light. So

2:19:29from that idea, we thought, well

2:19:31, let's let's walk in our light

2:19:34. Let us have a stories along

2:19:36the way where people can stop

2:19:38and hear performances and

2:19:40storytelling of other people

2:19:41saying, this is my light, this

2:19:42is how I shine it. And these are

2:19:44the people I want to show

2:19:47appreciation to. So we do this

2:19:47walk around the block, and then

2:19:50we end up with a little

2:19:52gathering and performances

2:19:52inside and lots of time to just

2:19:54reflect on, yeah, this is my

2:19:56life. You know? And these are

2:19:58the people who've helped me get

2:19:59there. Our communities don't

2:20:03always see what the City of Los

2:20:06Angeles provides them, providing

2:20:08access to the arts says to me,

2:20:10that's a city that's proud of

2:20:12the stories. It wants to tell.

2:20:14The people who want to tell

2:20:15them, and the ways that they

2:20:18want to tell them. A space like

2:20:22this gives opportunity for folks

2:20:24of all ages, cultures,

2:20:28experience to say, I can be

2:20:31seen. I can be heard, and I'm

2:20:35walking in these doors and it

2:20:36feels welcoming. It feels

2:20:38nurturing and people are excited

2:20:41to listen to me and to hear me.

2:20:43We don't have that all the time.

2:20:45So it's a it's a live space

2:20:46that's here to welcome and

2:20:50nurture those sparks of

2:20:52inspiration and vision. There's

2:20:56a few ways to find us. We are

2:20:59always on social media, so we

2:21:00are on Instagram. We have a

2:21:03Facebook page you can go to the

2:21:05Department of Cultural Affairs,

2:21:07their website. You'll find the

2:21:08Tosco Theater may take a few

2:21:10clicks here and there, but we

2:21:11try to stay present in any way

2:21:14that we can

2:22:15.

2:22:15Los Angeles is known for its

2:22:17cultural landmarks, and behind

2:22:19me is one you've probably seen

2:22:21before. It was the Daily Planet

2:22:22in the original Adventures of

2:22:25Superman, it appeared in the

2:22:27Dragnet series and in the 1953

2:22:29classic War of the worlds.

2:22:31Martians destroyed it, and in

2:22:341991, Prince filmed the music

2:22:35video for his hit song diamonds

2:22:38and Pearls. Right here at Los

2:22:40Angeles City Hall. But off

2:22:42camera, it was built for the

2:22:44people. The spring Street steps

2:22:45were designed as the city's

2:22:47front door, a place where

2:22:48Angelenos could walk right up to

2:22:51their city government. A

2:22:53municipal building made to

2:22:54represent all of us. And in true

2:22:56La magic, a landmark that is now

2:22:58part of Hollywood history. So

2:23:00whether you're visiting for the

2:23:02first time or you've lived here,

2:23:03your entire life, we're glad

2:23:05you're here. Welcome to Los

2:23:07Angeles

2:23:34.

2:23:34Inside City Hall, you can

2:23:36explore a building rich in Art

2:23:37Deco. But did you know you can

2:23:39take a self-guided tour during

2:23:42open hours? That's right. Head

2:23:43to the third floor scan the QR

2:23:45code next to the Olympic and

2:23:47Paralympic showcase. And just

2:23:48like that, you're off. Now

2:23:51another landmark with a

2:23:52Hollywood connection. Just

2:23:55opened the Lucas Museum of

2:23:56Narrative Art. I'm so excited

2:23:58for this one. It's giving people

2:24:00the chance to see one of the

2:24:03largest collections of Norman

2:24:03Rockwell, along with the works

2:24:05by Frida Kahlo and street art

2:24:07from Banksy. So when you walk

2:24:10through its doors, you've taken

2:24:12your first step into a larger

2:24:15world.

2:24:32This is a big celebration for us

2:24:35because it's taken so long to

2:24:37get here, but it's something

2:24:40that I felt very, very strongly

2:24:43about in terms of honoring

2:24:46illustrators. It's incredibly

2:24:49emotional. Um, slightly surreal.

2:24:52There's a lot going on today,

2:24:53but mostly we're just incredibly

2:24:55proud to finally be showing

2:24:57people what's here in the museum

2:25:05. A storytelling, which is the

2:25:06mission of the museum, really

2:25:07has helped build communities

2:25:10across centuries. So we want to

2:25:14make sure that we continue as

2:25:15part of what's on our walls to

2:25:17spread that out and to have LA

2:25:19as our community. And first and

2:25:20foremost, exposition Park. It's

2:25:24going to be a remarkable

2:25:26destination in Los Angeles. And

2:25:29we're going to shine across the

2:25:33state for having this amazing

2:25:35park, this amazing museum.

2:25:38There's a lot of trees, there's

2:25:40a lot of walkways and bridges

2:25:42and hanging gardens and areas

2:25:45for people to sit. We have

2:25:48benches for people to do picnics

2:25:55. So anyone in our zip code now

2:25:56has our heirloom 37 pass. That

2:25:58means you can visit for free

2:26:00whenever. If you live in our zip

2:26:02code and we're trying to make

2:26:03the museum as accessible as

2:26:04possible so as many people can

2:26:06see it as possible because

2:26:08really, this is about

2:26:09celebrating the unsung

2:26:11illustrators of our time. So we

2:26:13want as many people to see those

2:26:15at the streets as possible. La

2:26:23DWP recycled Water Fill Station

2:26:25program provides free recycled

2:26:26water to all the customers of

2:26:29Los Angeles. We've partnered

2:26:30with the LA Sanitation and

2:26:32Environment to provide this

2:26:32local resource to the customers

2:26:34of Los Angeles and in times of

2:26:36water scarcity in Los Angeles,

2:26:38we know that's been a big

2:26:39challenge. La DWP is doing its

2:26:41part to invest in local water

2:26:42supplies and provide this as a

2:26:44local free resource. I'm going

2:26:47to pull this back, pull this.

2:26:49It's all for the plants, the

2:26:51lawn, uh, the few trees that we

2:26:55have, regular drinking water is

2:26:57getting very expensive. And we

2:27:00need to do something to you

2:27:03know, help keep the plants

2:27:04green. Hi William. Welcome back

2:27:07. Thank you. Thank you. I've

2:27:09been participating for the last

2:27:11four years for the program, for

2:27:12the recycled water. My garden.

2:27:15Uh needs a lot of water. And, uh

2:27:18, it just feels so good to come

2:27:21and get free water and feel like

2:27:23you're not wasting it. That

2:27:25instead, you're. You're helping

2:27:26the environment. And recycled

2:27:35water is a non potable reuse

2:27:36water. It cannot be used for

2:27:38drinking. However it could be

2:27:40used to water your your plants,

2:27:42water your vegetables. It cannot

2:27:43be used to wash your vegetables.

2:27:45But again to water your

2:27:46vegetables and any type of

2:27:49irrigation to receive this

2:27:51recycled water, customers just

2:27:53need to bring in their ladwp

2:27:54bill and we'll provide the

2:27:56proper training. Folks can get

2:28:29. 321. The parks are where

2:28:36friendships and lifelong

2:28:39relationships are built. They

2:28:40are the center of our

2:28:42communities and now we have a

2:28:44beautiful new playground set

2:28:46that is Ada accessible. I'm

2:28:49honored to be here with you

2:28:50today to celebrate the Grand

2:28:52reopening of Chaco Canyon Park

2:28:54Playground. This project is

2:28:56about far more than just

2:28:58installing equipment. It's about

2:29:00fostering a safe, more vibrant,

2:29:02accessible environment where our

2:29:04community's children can grow,

2:29:06connect, and thrive. This park

2:29:10is absolutely gorgeous. We

2:29:12really needed an upgrade to this

2:29:14park. We've been in this

2:29:15neighborhood for many years. Our

2:29:17kids have grown up in this park

2:29:18and we're excited to see this

2:29:20new development. I believe that

2:29:24families are still recovering

2:29:25from the Covid days where the

2:29:28children couldn't play outside

2:29:30with other kids and such, and

2:29:31this is going to research a lot

2:29:33of that interaction for children

2:29:35. It's going to give them a safe

2:29:36place to go. Toda la comunidad

2:29:38de aqui, Lakeview Terrace, Este

2:29:41Park esta magnifico para Los

2:29:42ninos, eh es un excelente ciudad

2:29:45muy privada. We are so excited

2:29:47for this new playground, and we

2:29:49hope that everybody can enjoy it

2:29:51for many years. It's important

2:29:52that everyone remembers. It's a

2:29:55shared responsibility to

2:29:56maintain and protect our public

2:29:58spaces. We appreciate everybody

2:29:59picking up after themselves and

2:30:01making sure that if there is

2:30:03anything wrong with the play

2:30:04structure that they report it

2:30:05right away so it can be

2:30:07addressed. Yes, this llegamos

2:30:08aqui a labio terrace, a gusanos

2:30:11con Los ninos. Si es un parque

2:30:13renovado muy excelente para mi.

2:30:19From the fourth floor of the

2:30:22rotunda in City Hall, where I'm

2:30:24standing right now, you can see

2:30:26the rotunda floor made with more

2:30:28than 45 types of marble. In the

2:30:30center is a bronze Spanish ship

2:30:32representing the early Pacific

2:30:34explorers and if you look up,

2:30:36you'll see figures in the dome

2:30:38representing things like

2:30:39government, education and

2:30:41protection. And when it comes to

2:30:43protection, this fire season,

2:30:45Los Angeles brought in some

2:30:47experts of its own for the 33rd

2:30:49year in a row, the government of

2:30:51Quebec has sent two super

2:30:53scooper planes to Van Nuys

2:30:55Airport, along with pilots and

2:30:57mechanics, giving firefighters a

2:30:59powerful tool from the air. On

2:31:07behalf of the Los Angeles Board

2:31:09of Airport Commissioners and Los

2:31:12Angeles World Airports, Lawa, I

2:31:13am proud to welcome the return

2:31:16of the two Canadair CL 415 Super

2:31:19Scoopers to their Southern

2:31:21California home at Van Nuys

2:31:23Airport. These two super

2:31:27Scoopers behind me protect all

2:31:30of the 88 cities in the county

2:31:32of Los Angeles. In addition to

2:31:33our neighboring counties. These

2:31:36Crf450x have fought fire in

2:31:37Ventura and Orange counties, and

2:31:40they're a valuable resource for

2:31:41us. For 33 years, Quebec has

2:31:48provided our county with these

2:31:51aircraft, along with the skilled

2:31:52pilots and mechanics who operate

2:31:54and maintain them during peak

2:31:55fire season here in Los Angeles

2:31:58County. These aircrafts give our

2:32:01firefighters a powerful tool.

2:32:03But equipment alone cannot keep

2:32:04our communities safe. Wildfire

2:32:07safety requires all of us to do

2:32:10our part. So we're we're happy

2:32:19to be here every year. And also

2:32:21for our Quebec pilots, it's a

2:32:23way to gain specialized

2:32:25expertise in training in a

2:32:27terrain that's that's certainly

2:32:28very different from Quebec. So

2:32:31every year, the aircraft and the

2:32:35crews come to support Los

2:32:37Angeles County Fire Department

2:32:38in their firefighting efforts

2:32:40during the busiest firefighting

2:32:43season in the year. These are

2:32:46really model examples of our

2:32:49governments that are working

2:32:50together to protect our

2:32:51communities.

2:33:0725 years ago today, I was part

2:33:09of a Los Angeles Fire Department

2:33:14Urban Search and Rescue team

2:33:15that was deployed to ground Zero

2:33:18right after the nine over 11

2:33:22attacks.

2:33:32We're here to remember the

2:33:35incidents of nine over 11. The

2:33:37lives that were lost, the people

2:33:38that were lost, but to also

2:33:41remember how we came together as

2:33:42a country. There were our

2:33:44neighbors at that moment, and we

2:33:45helped them. They went because

2:33:49people were trapped. They went

2:33:52because they recognized that

2:33:54people needed help and they went

2:33:58because they were firefighters.

2:34:02There was a terrible sense of

2:34:04helplessness watching what was

2:34:06happening. 3000 miles away,

2:34:08wondering about people you cared

2:34:10about while knowing that police

2:34:12officers, firefighters,

2:34:14paramedics and so many others

2:34:16were running directly toward

2:34:17something the rest of the world

2:34:20was watching in horror. Today

2:34:24we're here at the Frank Hawkins

2:34:26Training Center, commemorating

2:34:28the 25th anniversary of the nine

2:34:31over 11 attacks on the twin

2:34:33Towers. We're uplifting and

2:34:35remembering all of the first

2:34:38responders, all of the people

2:34:39who stepped up to be brave to

2:34:41save people's lives and to

2:34:43remind the generations that have

2:34:45come after the attack of what

2:34:47occurred, so that we never, ever

2:34:48forget what bravery looks like

2:34:51in this country and what it

2:34:52looks like for people to step up

2:34:53to save people. Nine over 11

2:34:572001 was a very sad day. It was

2:35:00a terrible day in the history of

2:35:02our country and the history of

2:35:04the world. So we're here to

2:35:05thank everyone. We're here to

2:35:09honor everyone, and we're here

2:35:10to say we don't want this to

2:35:13happen again. We can't let this

2:35:14happen again in the city. Now we

2:35:17go on thousands of calls every

2:35:19day. We know that we're doing

2:35:22this to provide a service for

2:35:25the for our community. So as

2:35:27we're experiencing crises, as

2:35:28we're experiencing different

2:35:30horrors that intend to divide

2:35:31us, we must follow the steps of

2:35:33people from nine over 11 and

2:35:35what they did and stick together

2:35:36and protect our communities. Oh,

2:35:40say, can you see by the dawn's

2:35:46early light, what so proudly we

2:35:52hailed at the twilight's last

2:35:57gleaming? We are the city of Los

2:36:03Angeles with the Mayor's Office

2:36:04of Economic Opportunity, and we

2:36:05are here today to celebrate the

2:36:08kickoff of the Angelino Court

2:36:09program for the 2026, 2027 year.

2:36:12The Angelino Courts program is a

2:36:14ten month internship program.

2:36:16All 300 Angelenos who are here

2:36:18today are ages 18 to 30, who

2:36:20receive work experience for ten

2:36:22months in one of the six sectors

2:36:24that we offer, a majority of the

2:36:26Angelenos that are enrolled into

2:36:27our program are in school. So

2:36:29it's hard. You know, sometimes a

2:36:31lot of workplaces ask you to

2:36:33have 2 or 3 years worth of

2:36:35experience. So the Angelino

2:36:36Corps members program is awesome

2:36:39. They're learning hands on

2:36:40right there. And then we are

2:36:42able to balance those working

2:36:44hours for them to still get work

2:36:45experience and being able to

2:36:47develop skills and add it to

2:36:48their resume. They're going to

2:36:50receive professional development

2:36:52. They're going to receive

2:36:53stipends, monthly stipends for

2:36:54all of the work that they're

2:36:56doing for the city and for the

2:36:57communities and the place that

2:36:59they call home. I'm one of the

2:37:01successful stories I have

2:37:02completed with the program, the

2:37:03ten month program, and secured

2:37:05employment as I do have big

2:37:07plans, I'm actually going to get

2:37:09my master's in education, so

2:37:12hopefully in five years I'll be

2:37:14a school counselor myself. I was

2:37:15at Boyle High Technology User

2:37:17Center participant during my

2:37:20early years. It was difficult to

2:37:21get that work experience while

2:37:23being in school, but now for the

2:37:25last three years, I've been a

2:37:26full time case manager under the

2:37:28Angelino court program. Our hope

2:37:30is that by students

2:37:31participating in the Angelino

2:37:32court program that they're going

2:37:33to be able to set themselves up

2:37:35for the future. It's going to be

2:37:36important that you just come

2:37:38willing to learn. You're going

2:37:39to have a mentor that's going to

2:37:41set you up for success and work

2:37:43with you over the next ten

2:37:44months. Coming in. We know you

2:37:45already have something within

2:37:47you that's really pushing you.

2:37:48We tell everybody, take every

2:37:49single advantage of everything

2:37:50you can learn and just really,

2:37:51you know, explore it. Maybe you

2:37:53think you don't have a skill or

2:37:55an expertise yet, but once

2:37:56you're there, you actually learn

2:37:58that you do have some expertise.

2:37:59We're here to really help you

2:38:00grow those skills and just be

2:38:02able to be whatever it is you

2:38:04want to be. And wherever your

2:38:06goals take you. We're really

2:38:07there to support you and. On the

2:38:1226th floor is the Hall of

2:38:14Mayors, featuring portraits of

2:38:15former Los Angeles mayors

2:38:17including Tom Bradley, who was

2:38:19the city's first black mayor,

2:38:21and its longest serving holding

2:38:24office from 1973 to 1993. Now

2:38:28this hall is just one of the

2:38:30many places in LA that honors

2:38:32people from the monuments in

2:38:33MacArthur Park and the memorials

2:38:35in Grant Park to the Hollywood

2:38:37Walk of Fame and the Grammy

2:38:39Museum. Recently, the iconic

2:38:41Mexican group Los Angeles Azules

2:38:43were honored for their decades

2:38:44of telling their stories through

2:38:47the music of cumbia and council

2:38:49member Imelda Padilla and others

2:38:51celebrated the group and their

2:38:52rich connection to the San

2:38:54Fernando Valley community.

2:38:58Today, in the community of

2:39:00Panorama City, we welcomed one

2:39:02of the most globally recognized

2:39:03cumbia groups from Mexico, Los

2:39:06Angeles Azules to name Van Nuys

2:39:09Boulevard and Chase Street.

2:39:09After them. There is no group as

2:39:13big as Grande with beautiful

2:39:15songs and lyrics like Los

2:39:17Angeles Azules and Here We Are

2:39:18today, estoy fan de Los Angeles

2:39:22Azules y desde muy tempranito

2:39:51a mi gente de Ella. This feels

2:39:53like a very full circle moment

2:39:55for me. But more than anything,

2:39:58it's a full circle moment for

2:39:58this community because we made

2:40:00sure that communities like

2:40:01Panorama City and Arleta were at

2:40:03the table about what they wanted

2:40:05in Van Nuys Boulevard and what

2:40:07we want our businesses that

2:40:10we're happy to go shopping to.

2:40:11We want pocket parks that we can

2:40:14utilize. We want restaurants

2:40:15where we know we're going to be

2:40:18able to have a good time and be

2:40:20safe. Our community wants to

2:40:22come outside and celebrate our

2:40:24differences more than fight over

2:40:25them. Pero v llegaron Los

2:40:30Angeles azules siguen ustedes

2:40:31van creciendo un poco poquito yo

2:40:33voy este reconocimiento nos

2:40:35emociona mucho. Porque estamos

2:40:37aqui con todos ustedes cada uno

2:40:40de ustedes. Sabe de alguna

2:40:42cancion de Los Angeles azules.

2:40:44Aqui en su Corazon. Panorama We

2:40:56are in the heart of the harbor

2:40:58of Wilmington, California, part

2:40:59of the 1.5. And we are

2:41:01celebrating Labor Day. We have

2:41:02the 47th annual Labor Day Parade

2:41:07, rally and picnic right here in

2:41:09banning Park. And besides

2:41:16advocating for workers in the

2:41:19workplace, we're also having a

2:41:20lot of fun. I am here

2:41:27celebrating with all the unions,

2:41:29which is extremely important,

2:41:31and that is to recognize our

2:41:33Labor Day every year. I tell

2:41:36everybody the unions have done

2:41:37an amazing job when it comes to

2:41:39working for working class

2:41:40people, and that is what is

2:41:42important is that we make these

2:41:43people go to work every day, and

2:41:46for them to have someone to

2:41:47fight for them every day, that

2:41:49is truly a blessing. This is an

2:41:50event where we're allowed to

2:41:52represent and to recognize the

2:41:55different organizations. The

2:41:56different the over 200 local

2:41:59unions that create the

2:42:01opportunities here in the harbor

2:42:03area that employ people that

2:42:04keep our community driving

2:42:05forward and are the economic

2:42:08drivers of everything that

2:42:09happens here in the harbor area

2:42:12. We have to honor all those who

2:42:14fought for our rights from the

2:42:18beginning. That's why we're

2:42:19here. It's because all those who

2:42:22fought for us, they got it done

2:42:23and we're going to keep on

2:42:25getting it done and happy Labor

2:42:27Day to all all the labor unions,

2:42:29all the trade unions, everybody.

2:42:31Let's do this unity in the

2:42:34community. Well, the labor

2:42:36movement has been so important

2:42:37to the development of this

2:42:39country. The labor movement

2:42:40brought us the 40 hour workweek.

2:42:41It brought many folks health

2:42:43benefits. It has brought folks

2:42:45safety in the workplace. And so

2:42:46it's really important for us to

2:42:48make sure that we hang on to

2:42:50those values. My district is the

2:42:52watch to the waterfront and here

2:42:54in the harbor area, we provide 1

2:42:58in 9 jobs in the entire LA

2:42:59county. And so what's important

2:43:01for folks who have those jobs is

2:43:02to make sure we keep those jobs

2:43:12. We're here at MacArthur Park.

2:43:13Tonight is the first fall Friday

2:43:15nights of the year. The biggest

2:43:17goal and motivation for fall

2:43:18Friday nights is really to bring

2:43:20families to the park, fall

2:43:21Friday nights is a part of our

2:43:23comprehensive strategy to

2:43:24improve neighborhood safety here

2:43:26in the MacArthur Park corridor

2:43:27and the Westlake community.

2:43:29There's lots of negative

2:43:30narratives about this community,

2:43:32but really, people have a sense

2:43:34of pride where they live. I

2:43:36think we need more events like

2:43:37this. We need the city to be

2:43:39involved a little more so that

2:43:41the people can feel safe. You

2:43:43know, that they can have

2:43:44something to come to and not

2:43:45just the park that has

2:43:46challenges. We understand that

2:43:48there's a lot of need. We

2:43:49understand that kids just went

2:43:50back to school, that we're not

2:43:52only looking for activities for

2:43:54kids after school, but we're

2:43:55also just trying to assist

2:43:57families that are working hard

2:43:59to make it day by day. Keep our

2:44:00family source center has joined

2:44:03us to bring many more resources

2:44:04to this community, along with

2:44:06public health resources, food

2:44:08giveaways, recreation activities

2:44:10. We're just having a great time

2:44:12here in MacArthur Park and it's

2:44:13so important because we really

2:44:15want to show how many families

2:44:17are here at the park. They're

2:44:18playing soccer, they're having

2:44:19lunch here, they're bringing

2:44:21their families. The more that we

2:44:22can supplement that by saying,

2:44:24hey, let's do a soccer clinic

2:44:25with you, let's do some

2:44:27breakdancing, which is what's

2:44:27happening tonight. Tommy Junio

2:44:28is also going to be doing some

2:44:31food distribution. We're going

2:44:31to have some events coming up in

2:44:33October. You know, encourage the

2:44:34community to come out and have

2:44:36some fun. We're going to be

2:44:38having a Halloween event that is

2:44:39hosted by recreation and Parks

2:44:41here on October 31st. We're

2:44:42going to be looking into hosting

2:44:44something for Dia de Los Muertos

2:44:44as well. So there's going to be

2:44:47a lot more events like this. And

2:44:48we're really excited to take

2:44:49part in them and to show the

2:44:51community that we're here with

2:44:52them. They can always call our

2:44:55office with any questions and

2:44:55any assistance that you might

2:44:57need. We're here to help. We're

2:44:58excited about families returning

2:44:59to MacArthur Park and more

2:45:00importantly, about activating

2:45:02the park differently. The goal

2:45:04is to have 1000 families every

2:45:06Friday, a fall Friday night.

2:45:07Looking forward to seeing you

2:45:09here. This is City Hall's

2:45:16observation deck on the 27th

2:45:19floor. What a sight. And right

2:45:20above us is the Lindbergh Beacon

2:45:23. Now, when City Hall opened in

2:45:251928, President Calvin Coolidge

2:45:27turned it on from the white

2:45:29House. And today, it only lights

2:45:31up for special occasions.

2:45:33Recently, an historic Filipino

2:45:34town there was a special

2:45:36occasion worth gathering for the

2:45:39hi fi fall Festival celebrated

2:45:40its one year anniversary, filled

2:45:43with music, local food vendors

2:45:45and the joy of people coming

2:45:48together. Today, we are at Casa

2:45:54Corner at Hi Fi in Unidad Park.

2:45:56We are celebrating our one year

2:46:00anniversary of our event. What

2:46:01you can find is that it's just

2:46:03an all inclusive community event

2:46:04. Part of the reason we put this

2:46:06event on was because we wanted

2:46:08visibility for our culture. If

2:46:10you're here for the first time,

2:46:11you're going to get a dose of

2:46:15Filipino music. Filipino art.

2:46:17This is one of the best ways to

2:46:19support local businesses,

2:46:20especially as we are facing

2:46:22gentrification and displacement

2:46:23in this community. You're going

2:46:25to hear several different

2:46:26languages that are not often

2:46:28represented in these systems

2:46:29because we're taught to learn

2:46:32English from a young age, even

2:46:34in the Philippines. But here

2:46:36you're going to get to hear

2:46:36Tagalog spoken, maybe even

2:46:38Ilokano. What I found so

2:46:40appealing was the corner is that

2:46:42it touches all of my interests

2:46:44community, give back along with

2:46:45working with local Los Angeles

2:46:48nonprofits as well as small

2:46:50businesses for example, LA

2:46:52Clinica. They are local to this

2:46:54area. Echo Park, so not too far

2:46:56Filipino Workers Center is here

2:46:58. My place here is today.

2:47:00They're offering free services

2:47:01to the community. We also offer

2:47:03mutual aid, where we partnered

2:47:04with Vicente Family Farms and

2:47:07Temple Seafood Market. They have

2:47:08provided free groceries to the

2:47:10community members here. So while

2:47:12supplies last, we have free

2:47:13groceries. A lot of our

2:47:18performers have either

2:47:19connections in historic Filipino

2:47:20town are either brand new or

2:47:22they are local. Today is Fall

2:47:24Fest. We just had Summerfest in

2:47:27July and spring Fest in April

2:47:28and then we'll have again in

2:47:31winter sometime in December. I

2:47:32hope you get to come next time,

2:47:34because a lot of these systems

2:47:35in place want us to be by

2:47:38ourselves and here you actually

2:47:41get to be with each other, even

2:47:42connect with a part of yourself

2:47:44that you can't experience

2:47:45anywhere else. These events are

2:47:47very important for our community

2:47:48because we need spaces where we

2:47:51can really celebrate each other,

2:47:51feel safe amongst each other,

2:47:53connect with each other,

2:47:54especially with the current

2:47:55climate of how things are. This

2:47:57is a community of made of

2:47:59immigrants. So we have this

2:48:01space here because we want to

2:48:02make sure people feel seen and

2:48:04safe and heard. Everyone please,

2:48:07I hope to see you soon here at

2:48:09the next Consul Corner Festival

2:48:10, here in Historic Filipino

2:48:11town. Mga kababayan kita kita po

2:48:14tayo dito sa Kanto corner. So

2:48:15historic filipinotown in unidad

2:48:17Park. Come out and join us today

2:48:26at the Caribbean Heritage

2:48:27Festival. We are here and we're

2:48:29all bringing our special

2:48:30contents like our music, our

2:48:32food. There's clothing so it's

2:48:33so important to come and connect

2:48:36and network with all the other

2:48:37countries here today. Got things

2:48:39for the kids too. It's amazing.

2:48:41Amazing day and I'm glad to see

2:48:44all the representation. So I'm

2:48:45representing Belize, but we also

2:48:47got all the different countries

2:48:48in the Caribbean here. You know

2:48:50Trini, we got Barbados, we got

2:48:51Haiti, we got everybody. Los

2:48:53Angeles is a big home to lots of

2:48:55people from the Caribbean, right

2:48:57here in the heart of the African

2:48:58American community. It's so

2:49:00important to have this

2:49:00celebration. So many of us come

2:49:03from the African continent and

2:49:04went through slavery. Some

2:49:05people went to the Caribbean and

2:49:06they came here. And so we're

2:49:07excited to celebrate the

2:49:08culture, the music, the fight,

2:49:11the struggle. That's present

2:49:12here in Los Angeles. I'll make

2:49:14sure that you incorporate all

2:49:15your friends into our community

2:49:17, because we kind of really need

2:49:18that in the LA area. It's always

2:49:21great to see us come together

2:49:22and celebrate one another and

2:49:24again see that there's other

2:49:26people like us out here as well

2:49:28. We do this every year and

2:49:29we're going to continue to do it

2:49:31because the people call for it.

2:49:33South LA is where people want to

2:49:34be, where the Caribbean

2:49:35community wants to be.

2:49:36Eventually, we're going to have

2:49:38carnival here like they do in

2:49:39Toronto and New York City and

2:49:41other places around the globe.

2:49:42Los Angeles is a home to a

2:49:43powerful Caribbean community,

2:49:45Caribbean people. We're very

2:49:47warm. We're very we integrate a

2:49:49lot of people together. It's all

2:49:52about the food and the dancing

2:49:53and the music and just having a

2:49:55good time. We love everybody.

2:49:56It's a great day to come

2:49:59celebrate. Today is The Saint

2:50:06Joseph Center Fall Connect Day.

2:50:08We have a host of different

2:50:11activities and resources from

2:50:14the county, from the city, from

2:50:16across Los Angeles, really

2:50:18dedicated to helping folks who

2:50:20are experiencing homelessness,

2:50:21housing insecurity, and folks

2:50:23who just need to make sure that

2:50:26they have information available

2:50:27to them. We basically invited

2:50:29tons of families and communities

2:50:32for resources that we have

2:50:33available here today. We have

2:50:36DPS, we have department of

2:50:37Mental Health. We also have Cd11

2:50:40, T-Mobile, and we also have a

2:50:41few barbers who dedicated their

2:50:43time to be here today as well.

2:50:46So ahorita estan dando juguetes

2:50:49ropa y comida para las personas.

2:50:52Corte de pelo y para la comida

2:50:55no tiene, pues ahorita este es

2:50:57muy buena idea de lo Q

2:50:59obtuvieron para hacer este este

2:51:01dia saint Joseph Center is one

2:51:04of the largest homeless services

2:51:06and housing organizations in the

2:51:08entire county. It's totally open

2:51:10to the community and free, and

2:51:12we're expecting hundreds of

2:51:13people to come through today.

2:51:14We'd like to say thank you to

2:51:17Saint Joseph Center. All the

2:51:17great work they do in the

2:51:20community. We have a long

2:51:20standing partnership with them.

2:51:22So, you know, anytime that we

2:51:23can help support what their

2:51:25efforts are for the community,

2:51:27we want to do that, right. So we

2:51:29help them out with all their

2:51:30communications and everything

2:51:31else and networking. And again,

2:51:33we're just here to support we

2:51:35value their partnership and all

2:51:36the great things they do. For

2:51:41people don't realize that in LA

2:51:43County there are 1.1 million

2:51:45people who identify as having a

2:51:47physical disability. That's 10%

2:51:49of our county. The CTP, the

2:51:54self-evaluation and transition

2:51:55plan is something that the Ada

2:51:57requires of all city and county

2:52:00governments across the nation.

2:52:01The city of Los Angeles did one

2:52:03back in 2000. We decided rather

2:52:05than just try and update it,

2:52:07that there's quite frankly, so

2:52:08much work to be done that we're

2:52:10going to take a self-evaluation

2:52:12from the beginning. We've got

2:52:12thousands of facilities to look

2:52:14at and programs the city

2:52:17department on Disability really

2:52:18understands how frustrating it

2:52:19can be when somebody runs into

2:52:21noncompliance, whether that's a

2:52:23sidewalk, a park, a library, an

2:52:25arts event. I represent blind

2:52:29people from San Diego to

2:52:31Humboldt, and I'm here to thank

2:52:33you, first of all, for meeting.

2:52:35But you need to start changing

2:52:36things. The comments are very

2:52:40impassioned and a lot of

2:52:44frustration. We really need to

2:52:46make sure that it works for the

2:52:48people who are going to be

2:52:50serviced by it, and we really

2:52:52want to change the framework

2:52:54from kind of a afterthought to

2:52:57something that's more proactive

2:52:58when my grandmother, um, had

2:53:01lung cancer, they had to sever

2:53:04nerves in her spine and

2:53:06overnight she could never walk

2:53:08again. She acquired her

2:53:10disabilities overnight. And that

2:53:11was before Ada watching my

2:53:14grandmother have to navigate a

2:53:15world that was really hostile at

2:53:16the time. Um just makes me want

2:53:21to make sure that we break down

2:53:22those barriers for everyone so

2:53:24that they never have to feel

2:53:25like the world. No longer wants

2:53:28them around. I had a spinal cord

2:53:30injury at the age of 21. Over 50

2:53:32years ago, and it introduced me

2:53:34to the community and the

2:53:36oppression that we live with and

2:53:39experience on a daily basis of

2:53:40lack of opportunities to

2:53:44interact or go into a building

2:53:46or participate in employment. I

2:53:50decided that I wanted to

2:53:52influence a way for all of us to

2:53:55be able to really live our best

2:53:56lives without feeling like we

2:54:00can't be a part of something,

2:54:02come to these meetings and make

2:54:05your voice heard, because that's

2:54:07a critical part. We're looking

2:54:08at accessibility from the big

2:54:10picture. We're putting a lot of

2:54:12resources, energy and expertise

2:54:14to it. And it's something that,

2:54:15quite frankly, is the DoD's. The

2:54:17Department of Disabilities top

2:54:18priority. We're getting answers

2:54:20that we know that the Department

2:54:23of Disabilities and the mayor

2:54:24and the council are going to act

2:54:27on, and that's really exciting.

2:54:27We've put a survey out there you

2:54:30can find on our website

2:54:30disability LA Thegovernor.

2:54:33Complete the survey through

2:54:34October 15th. That questionnaire

2:54:36allows people to really talk

2:54:38about what barriers they've run

2:54:39into. Take the survey because,

2:54:41you know, people are going to do

2:54:43something about it. From the

2:54:47observation deck at City Hall,

2:54:49you can see neighborhoods in

2:54:51every direction. Each one of

2:54:53them filled with cultural joy,

2:54:55vibrant history, and a bit of

2:54:58that la la land magic. Thanks in

2:54:59part to the civic leaders who
