33
00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.860
james murez: To get I would suggest, making a recommendation to the board.

34
00:02:18.390 --> 00:02:21.420
james murez: Has you know have that they're going to make a presentation.

35
00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:26.820
james murez: yeah it's just you know committees are are designed to.

36
00:02:27.690 --> 00:02:37.320
james murez: make recommendations to the board, they don't take action on their own, so you can't necessarily say yes we'll put you on the agenda of the board what you can do is say, we would like to.

37
00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:48.900
james murez: make a recommendation that you make a you know 30 minute presentation, or whatever it is to the board on this topic, and then add COM would take it up and decide that it gets agenda.

38
00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:52.350
Brian Averill: So we could just send a recommendation to add come pretty.

39
00:02:52.410 --> 00:02:54.570
Brian Averill: Yes, okay gotcha.

40
00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:55.380
james murez: So we don't have it.

41
00:02:55.410 --> 00:02:56.340
james murez: We haven't told.

42
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.750
james murez: Tomorrow afternoon I believe was the deadline I don't know I published it, but I think it's tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock.

43
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.690
Brian Averill: We don't need to take like a vote or.

44
00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:09.660
Brian Averill: Right emotion, or anything we could just make a general recommendation.

45
00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.960
james murez: Well, if you want it to be a position of the Committee, you need to take a vote.

46
00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:17.730
james murez: got it.

47
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:26.430
james murez: If it's on your agenda and it's listed as for discussion and possible action.

48
00:03:26.730 --> 00:03:40.020
james murez: Which is how all of the items on your agenda, with the exception of presentations where you're not going to be taking action you always want to say that it's for discussion and possible action and then you can write a motion.

49
00:03:40.590 --> 00:03:46.950
Brian Averill: So it could the motion be as simple as the ocean fetlock committee recommends that the the board here the presentation.

50
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:48.720
james murez: yeah okay.

james murez: la fire department and and met with the people that are in charge of of emergency access to the beach and to everywhere in the city actually and they looked at all of the various streets and they determined that Westminster.

160
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:46.710
james murez: was not one of the streets that they needed to have access to the ballard's being retractable we're really only a you know, like a possible future convenience thing they specified which the streets were that they actually needed to be able to get down, and that was not one of them.

161
00:12:47.100 --> 00:13:02.580
evelynsaro: Oh okay that's what I was told when Taylor was in office, because we were working on the ballers and if that's the case those retractable ones shouldn't have been there that's a waste of money those should be in an emergency access so yeah yeah which is kind of a cluster on my view.

162
00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:09.600
james murez: They were originally talking about putting up swing gates and at some point along the way they just decided to do ballard's everywhere.

163
00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:16.320
evelynsaro: yeah but then they should have been permanent not retractable because you're trying to pull ones were specifically for emergency access only.

HeadMaze: My name is Matthew Schultz i'm the lead artists, of what we've been calling the peer group for about 10 years my background is primarily in sculpture i've also struggling with mental health, most of my life, and so this peace talks is something that's very familiar to me.

224
00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:30.720
HeadMaze: In the past or work has primarily been burning man, which includes the Pier in 2011 lawler aronian, which is the ship wreck on the Right in 2012, which was a full scale Spanish galleon shipwreck with 1000 props 13 rooms for your timeline from 18 1884.

225
00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:39.090
HeadMaze: In 2014 we built embrace, which is in the middle, which were to seven story people building that was dedicated to.

226
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:45.090
HeadMaze: Our relationship to each other and the lovely share for each other, and that was eventually burn.

227
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:51.390
HeadMaze: In enormous fire that was both really incredible but also reminded me of.

228
00:21:51.810 --> 00:21:59.400
HeadMaze: kind of a policy of my own environmentalism and my art and trying to find a nice balance with that and 2016 we built the space well.

229
00:21:59.760 --> 00:22:06.810
HeadMaze: Space was on the left and then pictures actually from his permanent installation Reno Nevada the space whales of 40 foot.

230
00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:18.690
HeadMaze: full scale stained glass and steel humpback whale mother and calf embracing, and this would be our first That was our first major public art piece i'm really proud of that work.

231
00:22:19.830 --> 00:22:27.960
HeadMaze: speaks to this heart of ocean preservation of affinity with our species and kind of our relationship to the world we live in.

232
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:42.600
Jonathan Levy: john sorry hi and i'm matt do you want to mention in 2019 doing handmade in a for burning them.

233
00:22:43.410 --> 00:22:49.890
HeadMaze: yeah so in So the first slide was a picture of the initial handmade at burning man.

234
00:22:50.430 --> 00:23:07.830
HeadMaze: This was a piece that we built over a period of three months and installed in about nine days so it's it's it's very much a prototype piece, but it was a really incredible experience, so we built the head, which you can see, as for stories and we intended to be.

235
00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:16.530
HeadMaze: A very beautiful perfect piece when we install Venice, you know you can see where there seems at the top, where we were still finishing it.

236
00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:28.710
HeadMaze: But it was really incredible to create a piece that was dedicated journeying into our mind and discovering ourselves and in the way in which.

237
00:23:29.790 --> 00:23:40.260
HeadMaze: We had so many really vibrant conversations about mental health about moving into the mind about our fears of being stigmatized.

238
00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:52.950
HeadMaze: One of our founders of the company marketing built a room that we affectionately call chain room and it was a room that had about 8000 pounds of chains hanging from the ceiling that you walk through it was designed to.

239
00:23:53.670 --> 00:24:10.650
HeadMaze: simulate the struggles of addiction and depression and he had a family came out and said that their daughter had committed suicide and they didn't have any way to reconcile those feelings and understand what she was going through and going through the chain room.

240
00:24:12.210 --> 00:24:18.510
HeadMaze: gave them a sense of closure in their life that allowed them to move on from the challenge of losing their daughter, and it was a.

241
00:24:19.320 --> 00:24:36.660
HeadMaze: As an artist there's these really beautiful moments that you can share with people to help inspire a kind of world and with all of my art, the biggest goal is to try to build pieces that help inspire a world where we're a little bit kinder to each other.

242
00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:49.020
Jonathan Levy: yeah and hi i'm john levy and I had been an agent actually at united talent agency cincy I used to live in Venice and now live in downtown la.

243
00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:54.540
Jonathan Levy: And discovered a company called me out wolf that did something really amazing where they built this.

244
00:24:54.930 --> 00:25:03.300
Jonathan Levy: kind of public benefit, but private company that was sustainable and growing around artistic creativity and a lot of causes and.

245
00:25:03.570 --> 00:25:09.360
Jonathan Levy: have since built this really symbiotic relationship with the city of Santa fe new Mexico where anytime you go there.

246
00:25:09.810 --> 00:25:16.950
Jonathan Levy: You everyone talks with pride about what they've done for the Community school groups, all this stuff and it's how they've hired local artists.

247
00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:23.820
Jonathan Levy: And it really inspired me and just and and through that I started representing companies in the space and deciding, I wanted to be a full on.

248
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:32.760
Jonathan Levy: executive producer in this world, for the reasons, primarily, how you can create a new type of company with this relationship and discovered.

249
00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:44.070
Jonathan Levy: The team that had maze who, on top of the amazing work they've done matt had founded a nonprofit called the generator and spent about a decade building.

250
00:25:44.580 --> 00:25:48.540
Jonathan Levy: A public art space which he could speak a lot more to than me, and it really was just a.

251
00:25:49.110 --> 00:26:02.610
Jonathan Levy: Completely you know eye opening experience and he was ready the team was ready to move into a world where they create sustainable profits but still build a business that has the values of what nonprofit strives to and sometimes achieves.

252
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.370
HeadMaze: yeah when.

253
00:26:06.390 --> 00:26:13.680
HeadMaze: After we built the shift in 2012 we had the the really privileged opportunity to start a nonprofit arena that we called the generator.

254
00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:18.360
HeadMaze: And for the first five years with a 35,000 square foot three make.

255
00:26:18.870 --> 00:26:28.140
HeadMaze: Space and by free I meant designed to bring anyone from the Community, whether they had a home or whether they had a very large hole whether.

256
00:26:28.530 --> 00:26:39.540
HeadMaze: They were a lawyer or a doctor or an artist or a street performer or later to come in and build whatever they want it, as always, it was creative we said yes to it, so we raised.

257
00:26:40.260 --> 00:26:50.310
HeadMaze: The funds to get about a quarter million dollars, with the tools, mostly direct donations people have things in their garage extra tools and we enabled this space to happen, where.

258
00:26:51.840 --> 00:27:05.880
HeadMaze: every five years, like in five years, we end up having about 300 separate projects all from paintings to cars to art cars to sculptures to public art pieces for the local parades.

259
00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:14.340
HeadMaze: Those are really beautiful experience and the generator continues as I move in to wearing my artists have for admins.

260
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:22.740
HeadMaze: john's gonna keep going yeah john do you want to finish catching up on the slide.

261
00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.950
HeadMaze: Please, so their job.

262
00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.090
HeadMaze: well.

263
00:27:37.050 --> 00:27:44.280
Jonathan Levy: Sorry, they keep i'll keep on getting switched to this like driver mode and then I stopped talking so okay anyway.

264
00:27:46.350 --> 00:27:56.010
Jonathan Levy: to restart what I was saying to myself i'm there's a lot of people on this call that we have met over the past of the past couple months that have been just really helpful in letting us understand Venice.

265
00:27:56.370 --> 00:28:09.540
Jonathan Levy: And we're more excited than ever to potentially work with Venice because, above all, the goal of this company is to build a relationship with the Community and support the benefits that we, as a benefit corporation support.

266
00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:19.080
Jonathan Levy: Just to real quickly give a sense of some of the ideas we have and the whole point is to work with you guys to understand better what's possible how we can contribute.

267
00:28:19.590 --> 00:28:28.530
Jonathan Levy: What support we've created an overall benefit intention sheet and just to give a sense of where our head out we're going to share with you some of the benefits we've discussed.

268
00:28:29.010 --> 00:28:35.010
Jonathan Levy: First and foremost, as a benefit corporation or major causes or mental health, the environment, the arts and community.

269
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:50.940
Jonathan Levy: And a percentage of our ticket sales 5%, to be exact, we will be automatically going to benefits and our hope is to work with the local community to allocate funds effectively that support our benefit causes and also support the local environment.

270
00:28:52.200 --> 00:29:00.480
Jonathan Levy: You know this is really exciting, because most public art piece it's expensive to even bring in in our case, we can bring the piece for free, while contributing to this.

271
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:06.570
Jonathan Levy: To the local environment this even goes as far as whatever arrangement we work out with parks and REC.

272
00:29:06.930 --> 00:29:20.940
Jonathan Levy: would involve a contribution of some sort of lease agreement, which you know we're motivated to support towards things that also support local Venice and from beautification to all a lot of other causes, and we are completely open.

273
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.920
Jonathan Levy: We a few little areas, we want to hit for Community and arts.

274
00:29:26.190 --> 00:29:35.370
Jonathan Levy: We really want to work with the local community to offer programs that provide tickets and time slots to lower income residents to school groups to really you know help those who couldn't normally.

275
00:29:35.730 --> 00:29:41.430
Jonathan Levy: afford pretty much anything or school groups that need a proper introduction to the space.

276
00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:48.690
Jonathan Levy: i'm also, as you can see there's only four of us, but it takes a cast of hundreds, both in creating and development and operating and performing.

277
00:29:48.930 --> 00:29:55.650
Jonathan Levy: To run the space, and the reason why we've started with a very small team is because it's very important for us that we create something.

278
00:29:55.980 --> 00:30:06.990
Jonathan Levy: Not only working with local artists and local vendors and local staff but also actually is part of the creative voices of that staff, I mean the history of Venice.

279
00:30:07.410 --> 00:30:19.140
Jonathan Levy: Both its in its glory of the Abbot kinney days to its diversity and oakwood is so fascinating to us and to work with those local voices to employ people that are underprivileged needing support.

280
00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:28.170
Jonathan Levy: mentally and physically handicapped it's something we really, really want to strive for um one thing we're very excited about is the idea of creating.

281
00:30:28.620 --> 00:30:39.330
Jonathan Levy: Having a function space or classroom that's most likely going to be off site that is pretty much used to support these initiatives as, as we said maths work and hillary's worked with the generator.

282
00:30:40.290 --> 00:30:48.210
Jonathan Levy: The idea of creating a space for for kids and other people to be creative and and learn that part of mental health that comes with art.

283
00:30:48.750 --> 00:31:00.630
Jonathan Levy: is really exciting Dennis far tell who had been the president of the exploratorium for 20 years had started a program there, which is a residency for my for brilliant minds to come and pretty much.

284
00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:10.140
Jonathan Levy: be there to lecture and speak and contribute to the are and to find those sort of us he wants to run a program that would support mental health neuroscience philosophy.

285
00:31:11.100 --> 00:31:16.140
Jonathan Levy: A lot of other really important issues that we think would be very exciting for the city of Venice.

286
00:31:16.950 --> 00:31:25.620
Jonathan Levy: with everything the idea of having events and sponsorships and working with the local community to support our philanthropies and others is a part in our DNA and and a lot of.

287
00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:32.790
Jonathan Levy: In just in our benefit is just the beginning of how we want to raise financing and support the local environment actually more race philanthropy.

288
00:31:34.020 --> 00:31:45.510
Jonathan Levy: On the mental health thing on the piece itself is designed to have a conversation about mental health and a lot of topics are going to be explored, which we could discuss at length.

289
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:56.970
Jonathan Levy: One thing we want to do is we're planning to have a decompression space with the mental health professional to talk to people both around the head and who've gone into head about issues they've experienced and what the.

290
00:31:57.360 --> 00:32:09.840
Jonathan Levy: piece has brought up for them, and both give them some you know thought, but also provide avenues of support this includes working with local mental health organizations colleges, to create unique programs and opportunities.

291
00:32:11.070 --> 00:32:17.010
Jonathan Levy: The environment is another benefit to ours, of course, like we only want to be something that enhances the environment.

292
00:32:18.030 --> 00:32:25.200
Jonathan Levy: Obviously, we feel very strong about what's going on with the world, and with the oceans and with our coastline and.

293
00:32:25.710 --> 00:32:37.380
Jonathan Levy: Not only is our experience, going to be best practices, but we're actually going to design cognitive experiences inside the head that brings this sort of awareness and motivational behaviors towards sustainability.

294
00:32:38.340 --> 00:32:46.950
Jonathan Levy: And both with our employees and with through incentivizing guests supporting local environment mental efforts, such as beach cleanup days.

295
00:32:48.030 --> 00:32:56.970
Jonathan Levy: And they just want we just want to top it just really want to touch upon homelessness I mean this is something that we know, is a big hot button issue here in Venice and we're very committed.

296
00:32:57.270 --> 00:33:12.510
Jonathan Levy: To using our resources and our benefit dollars to provide support and services to the local community and work with the local champions on programming fundraisers employment parts practices and even artistic contributions so yeah.

297
00:33:14.670 --> 00:33:29.370
Brian Averill: gotcha thanks john so so just to point this out we've got about five minutes left here on our scheduled time so as you guys move on, if you want to, I would suggest taking a broader strokes, just so we sort of don't get into the weeds and people understand exactly what's going on here.

298
00:33:30.630 --> 00:33:42.270
HeadMaze: Of course um so really the reason why we're trying to present you with attorneys is because we really believe in public art and the value that it brings.

299
00:33:42.750 --> 00:33:53.700
HeadMaze: To a community and a culture, and we also understand that things like that really cost the city, a lot of money, you know the been costs Chicago 25 million.

300
00:33:54.360 --> 00:34:08.040
HeadMaze: And what we're looking to offer is this immersive monument that bridges that that difference between public art and sustainable new companies and we'd like to bring monumental sculpture to you.

301
00:34:09.390 --> 00:34:18.000
HeadMaze: That doesn't cost you guys $25 million, but instead is generating revenue for parks and for local support.

302
00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:35.220
HeadMaze: The local whether it's the homeless or the local artists, we really want to contribute to the economy, and we really believe that this monument really already highlights very rich diverse culture that is here.

303
00:34:36.810 --> 00:34:41.970
HeadMaze: We want to help accentuate that because we believe in elevating it that.

304
00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:51.000
HeadMaze: We really have the opportunity to really elevate large sections of our Community, whether it's the businesses around it, where the artists around it.

305
00:34:51.330 --> 00:34:57.870
HeadMaze: And then we also believe that mental health is a public good, and the more that we can make people aware of this, through our art.

306
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:16.200
HeadMaze: The better that we're going to be able to approach and kind of solve some of these problems like homelessness and so that's how we really why we see handmade now in Venice beach is being a really powerful tool to bring this Community together.

307
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.620
HeadMaze: Here I.

308
00:35:20.670 --> 00:35:29.640
HeadMaze: Have a little love letter to Venice and i've written a bit about why I think this is going to be the perfect fit, but instead of reading that to you guys, I think.

309
00:35:30.030 --> 00:35:37.980
HeadMaze: What would be a good thing to do now is to open up and be able to take a couple of questions I know we just have a few minutes left on that agenda.

310
00:35:39.630 --> 00:35:45.330
Jim Robb: Perfect let's see if there's any stakeholders that would like to comment.

311
00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.670
Jim Robb: raise your hands.

312
00:35:48.810 --> 00:35:50.130
Jim Robb: give you a minute or so.

313
00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:54.000
Jim Robb: All right, Lisa here you go.

314
00:35:56.100 --> 00:35:57.000
Jim Robb: i'm you Lisa.

315
00:35:57.750 --> 00:35:59.640
Lisa Redmond: I unmuted Thank you.

316
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:16.140
Lisa Redmond: You know i'm all about public art, I think this is exciting, I think you guys really don't have a concept of the issues of homelessness in Venice and what a hot button issue, it is, but I mean i'm all for it.

317
00:36:18.210 --> 00:36:27.510
Lisa Redmond: I would love to see you know art dedicated gallery space, in a sense, to just some of the unhealthy people of Venice.

318
00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:30.030
Lisa Redmond: A lot of artists are here.

319
00:36:31.260 --> 00:36:46.110
Lisa Redmond: I also it's a little tricky because this almost seems like it should be a part of the art committee this should go through, but at least you guys meet it's on the boardwalk I don't know it's so many issues rust so many committees.

320
00:36:48.090 --> 00:36:58.170
Lisa Redmond: I just have a lot of questions about you know how you'll decide, you know a lot of we've kind of questions like how you'll decide who's going to benefit from that space and will.

321
00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:05.790
Lisa Redmond: The public benefit, I mean you're going to charge tickets for people to go inside but then also.

322
00:37:07.050 --> 00:37:16.740
Lisa Redmond: out is the city benefit, I mean, are you leasing the land, how long is this going to be there for is it a permanent installation or for temporary for three months, one month one weekend.

323
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:27.330
Lisa Redmond: And then you know there's all the dangerous structural issues to that if people are going inside through all these different rooms, you know what kind of building permits and how long will it take in.

324
00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:35.550
Lisa Redmond: And interrupt beach flow in the area, while something like that is being constructed, you know it's a lot different, to put it out on the Playa but.

325
00:37:36.690 --> 00:37:44.490
Lisa Redmond: there's a lot of traffic in beach use in the area which is different than the Playa So those are all all my concerns.

326
00:37:44.970 --> 00:37:45.270
Brian Averill: Thank you.

327
00:37:45.990 --> 00:37:48.720
Jim Robb: Thank you Lisa all right, Nick.

328
00:37:51.570 --> 00:37:54.360
Nick Antonicello: yeah I have a couple questions i'm just a stickler.

329
00:37:56.850 --> 00:37:58.110
Nick Antonicello: For misspellings and.

330
00:37:58.710 --> 00:38:01.470
HeadMaze: Then you know disappear and.

331
00:38:01.650 --> 00:38:02.580
HeadMaze: We also.

332
00:38:03.540 --> 00:38:03.930
Hello.

333
00:38:05.580 --> 00:38:06.000
Nick Antonicello: Hello.

334
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:21.540
Nick Antonicello: Mike Mike done Okay, I was just saying that in your wife Venice, you have a bunch of the spell and you really should clean all that up before you present it to me when word is spelled wrong Kenny spell going to parole is spelt wrong.

335
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:24.120
Nick Antonicello: My.

336
00:38:25.470 --> 00:38:31.920
Nick Antonicello: assistant, what kind of revenue, are you projecting your one it's going to be the cost of admission.

337
00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:35.610
Brian Averill: Okay.

338
00:38:37.470 --> 00:38:43.560
Jonathan Levy: Real quickly I think there's a lot of good questions here and a lot of things we've talked about with Sonia and everyone I know we have a limited time.

339
00:38:44.250 --> 00:38:54.330
Jonathan Levy: We were thinking, I know some people can't do it, and we could pair off into separate rooms, at some point or we could have a drinks, which we would love to host you guys later this week or.

340
00:38:54.390 --> 00:38:56.910
Nick Antonicello: Next week we're pretty straightforward question.

341
00:38:57.510 --> 00:39:00.660
Nick Antonicello: Okay, I mean if we have the time, what do you anticipate.

342
00:39:00.690 --> 00:39:03.300
Nick Antonicello: revenue and what will be the cost of admission I look.

343
00:39:06.690 --> 00:39:25.230
Jonathan Levy: At to eight to 10 million cost of tickets around 45 The idea is that we would offset our ticket revenue from paying guests with with opportunities for lower income and school groups to have discounted rents at tickets as well and to strike a balance that way.

344
00:39:28.530 --> 00:39:36.630
Brian Averill: gotcha Thank you Jonathan we could go a little over on the time I was just trying to limit the presentation to 20 minutes, so if any Members have questions, we can.

345
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:45.720
Nick Antonicello: rely on question is because in the past, they were proposals for the zip line and that didn't make it because of the cost.

346
00:39:46.110 --> 00:40:04.860
Nick Antonicello: And there were other issues, and then there was a time when they wanted to bring a Ferris wheel here and that didn't work, so you know eight to 10 million sounds very aggressive and 25 mil at $45 per person is more of a price of the Taurus is going to pay than a woman.

347
00:40:05.700 --> 00:40:15.630
Nick Antonicello: Right so from that standpoint, I think i'm gonna have to take a hard look at that what what are your proposed hours of operation just thinking oh.

348
00:40:15.810 --> 00:40:18.780
Jonathan Levy: nine in the morning, I mean first thinking like 11.

349
00:40:18.810 --> 00:40:25.500
Jonathan Levy: To 9pm or hours and in terms of revenue, you have to understand we are building a really.

350
00:40:26.040 --> 00:40:33.960
Jonathan Levy: You know pristine experience and in order to raise financing as a benefit corporation that pays lisa's to the city and contributes to.

351
00:40:34.260 --> 00:40:46.020
Jonathan Levy: nonprofits and in order to hire hire people at living wages, where our employees feel really supported in order to do all these things like that's the revenue that is not that is not the cost of the operation.

352
00:40:46.350 --> 00:40:47.610
Jonathan Levy: And also.

353
00:40:47.670 --> 00:40:56.520
Nick Antonicello: One other question I have for you is this place to be rented out like from parties or special events that will be a source of revenue as well.

354
00:40:58.500 --> 00:41:02.490
Jonathan Levy: I mean, it could be, I mean it just depends on how we want to do this.

355
00:41:03.450 --> 00:41:03.840
Nick Antonicello: Thank you.

356
00:41:05.640 --> 00:41:07.350
Jim Robb: Alright cool go ahead.

357
00:41:08.490 --> 00:41:22.740
evelynsaro: hi um so uh I love this stuff that you showed, are we are you shooting for this to be temporary, if so, for how long and number two and forgive me if I missed it but.

358
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:43.410
evelynsaro: The dolphin that you guys have in Reno it's just that seems like so much more appropriate for Venice, I know that the head thing there's going to be spaces in there for classes, or whatever you want to do, but i'm i'm i'm unless that head supposed to be.

359
00:41:43.410 --> 00:41:48.780
evelynsaro: Added Kenny i'm a little confused as to why so Those are the two things I the questions I am asking.

360
00:41:49.830 --> 00:41:50.460
Jonathan Levy: i'm your man.

361
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:53.610
Brian Averill: Go for it does.

362
00:41:54.660 --> 00:42:03.780
HeadMaze: i'm happy to answer I think so Lisa and Evelyn there were a couple of questions that came out there similar we're looking at a five year temporary install.

363
00:42:06.630 --> 00:42:13.230
HeadMaze: And then Lisa you were you were speaking what were your what were your questions, there were four questions.

364
00:42:15.270 --> 00:42:16.140
Jim Robb: you're back on here.

365
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:18.180
Lisa Redmond: Am I allowed to.

366
00:42:18.630 --> 00:42:20.220
Jim Robb: yeah go ahead, go ahead.

367
00:42:20.310 --> 00:42:22.110
Brian Averill: let's keep it broad strokes to.

368
00:42:22.110 --> 00:42:23.580
Lisa Redmond: win okay well the.

369
00:42:23.790 --> 00:42:36.840
Lisa Redmond: questions were well, I want, I suggest it like a space for you know, on house people artists of Venice, I think I was talking about how long the construction was how long was it going to be temporary.

370
00:42:37.710 --> 00:42:44.820
Lisa Redmond: Five years now, I have that answer I can't remember I just rambled up the top of my head everything um I was concerned yeah about.

371
00:42:46.860 --> 00:43:03.120
HeadMaze: Lisa so the the construction period we anticipate to be between three to six months we can adjust that down and make it modular to ensure that we're not stepping on anyone's toes we want to retain full access to the park for as long as possible while minimizing our impact to the Community.

372
00:43:04.470 --> 00:43:08.070
HeadMaze: We work, so my nonprofit we've worked with the homeless, a lot.

373
00:43:09.210 --> 00:43:21.720
HeadMaze: On housing is a term I would prefer to ensure that they have a place and part of our goal is to try to find local artists around the space, there are a lot of unhealthy artist within that area.

374
00:43:22.020 --> 00:43:34.410
HeadMaze: That need a place to work that could use the income and to be lifted it up in a way, where we're respecting their talent their effort and their time and not treating them like a public good.

375
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:43.350
HeadMaze: Real human being, it will help lift up individuals that come and I understand your concern the homeless issue I think it's something.

376
00:43:44.100 --> 00:43:58.710
HeadMaze: Remarkably, complicated and as we get more embedded in the Community i'm learning how hard that is it's complicated across the nation, I don't expect that will have easy salt, but when we look at our ticket sales.

377
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:07.740
HeadMaze: And when we look at the numbers that we're anticipating putting into local nonprofits we're anticipating that, depending on the success will be between a quarter million.

378
00:44:08.010 --> 00:44:12.360
HeadMaze: To three quarters of a million dollars, that will be able to direct to local nonprofits.

379
00:44:12.720 --> 00:44:23.670
HeadMaze: And we would like to consult with local Venetians so with you, with the committee's with local stakeholders defining those nonprofits that are doing the work in earnest.

380
00:44:24.540 --> 00:44:34.740
HeadMaze: they're not funneling money in the wrong places, so we can ensure that we can actually make an impact I don't expect that we're going to fix any of these big problems, but I would like to find.

381
00:44:35.520 --> 00:44:41.550
HeadMaze: small groups of people that need help and directly help them in ways that will uplift their lives.

382
00:44:42.750 --> 00:44:48.960
HeadMaze: And I just wanted to touch on next question really quickly, we agree that with the 45.

383
00:44:49.470 --> 00:45:02.070
HeadMaze: Plus dollar experience it's more for a tourist, which is why we're interested in having heavily discounted local tickets, as well as sliding scale tickets for anyone who's receiving public benefits like WIC.

384
00:45:03.720 --> 00:45:09.750
HeadMaze: And then lastly we're anticipating we're going to create a lease agreement between Venice parks.

385
00:45:10.470 --> 00:45:16.560
HeadMaze: In ourselves to ensure that there's revenue coming back into the park, I would like to see this project come.

386
00:45:16.980 --> 00:45:24.990
HeadMaze: And exist in Windward park for five years and, when it comes down we live when more park greatly improved to.

387
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:44.100
HeadMaze: So these are the conversations that we'd love to have with all of you, as our stakeholders to try to find the best way to improve the space and understand that we want to come in, you guys want us here i'm not interested in pushing an art idea on.

388
00:45:45.480 --> 00:46:03.870
HeadMaze: The whales beautiful and Reno I built a whale i'd love to build another one, but right now with code in the state of the world, I think we all can identify with the challenges of being human and having mental health issue and I feel like it's something that's really good to talk about.

389
00:46:04.470 --> 00:46:12.570
Brian Averill: gotcha Okay, we have a few more committee questions I see Robin I see colleen and mysterious to, so why don't we go in that order.

390
00:46:14.340 --> 00:46:15.840
Robin Rudisill: Is Robin were to sell.

391
00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:24.990
Robin Rudisill: My concern is that this is just too large, I it's just not compatible with the surroundings.

392
00:46:26.040 --> 00:46:42.630
Robin Rudisill: And I hope you could consider something much smaller and another thing is the concern about the resonance in the area, because this is also a residential neighborhood it's not just a boardwalk you know there's a lot of walk streets and what people live.

393
00:46:45.240 --> 00:46:50.880
Robin Rudisill: I think colleen sort of hit on this, but I feel like if you're going to do anything, it should be coastal related.

394
00:46:52.620 --> 00:47:01.440
Robin Rudisill: or related to beat recreation and because something like this could go in another location in Venice or Los Angeles, but I don't think it belongs on the beach.

395
00:47:01.980 --> 00:47:13.770
Robin Rudisill: And the location is concerning to me too because we've got our sculpture there in this Center of Venice and that's our large be and I think this would compete with that and I don't think that's a good idea, either.

396
00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:15.150
Robin Rudisill: that's it.

397
00:47:15.870 --> 00:47:17.820
Brian Averill: let's welcome the colleen.

398
00:47:20.970 --> 00:47:23.520
evelynsaro: don't worry Robin just hit on something so i'm good Thank you.

399
00:47:24.660 --> 00:47:27.090
Jim Robb: Nick real quick and then Jim you can close out and.

400
00:47:27.420 --> 00:47:31.230
Jim Robb: Tell we will we can do from here after this please go ahead.

401
00:47:31.950 --> 00:47:40.650
Nick Antonicello: just looking at the numbers if you're talking about 500 ticket sales and day that gives you 757.5 million.

402
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:42.840
Nick Antonicello: You know.

403
00:47:43.200 --> 00:47:44.550
Nick Antonicello: This will be a seven day.

404
00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:53.400
Nick Antonicello: A week of attraction you're talking about 180 2500 visitors to get to 7.5.

405
00:47:56.430 --> 00:47:58.260
Nick Antonicello: I think you need to work any numbers.

406
00:47:58.860 --> 00:47:59.280
I like.

407
00:48:00.900 --> 00:48:01.530
Jonathan Levy: numbers.

408
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:02.460
Nick Antonicello: what's that.

409
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.430
Jonathan Levy: What is your concern with those numbers under chaos today.

410
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:13.350
Nick Antonicello: Well, the volume of people that are bringing if you're going to bring this this head to that spot that you that you're suggesting.

411
00:48:15.060 --> 00:48:25.560
Nick Antonicello: What are you going to do in terms of wines of people, I mean the a big impact on the area I think you need to rethink the whole.

412
00:48:26.250 --> 00:48:34.080
Nick Antonicello: area around the head and that's going to be it's almost like a ride at a at a at a park or something you know so.

413
00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:42.990
Nick Antonicello: i'm not trying to discourage you, and if you can bring $8 million to Venice and the city gets a cut i'm all for it, but I do think that.

414
00:48:43.440 --> 00:49:03.570
Nick Antonicello: We need to look at the numbers realistically and I think what's around this thing is just as important as what's inside so to make it appeal because we're the the location and you're suggesting is the best location on ocean front wall, and you know that all right so.

415
00:49:05.070 --> 00:49:07.320
Nick Antonicello: Just think about what what i'm saying.

416
00:49:09.300 --> 00:49:09.870
Jonathan Levy: yeah I mean.

417
00:49:11.910 --> 00:49:13.260
Nick Antonicello: I understand your concern about.

418
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:21.000
Nick Antonicello: 1.1 point where you go before the board, the question that i'm asking are give you the questions that they're gonna.

419
00:49:21.630 --> 00:49:35.130
Jonathan Levy: write one, thank you very much for those questions, I mean we're planning on doing a ticketed time system, so people will show up and be like right lead in we do agree there are going to people to be around it like it's going to be a beautiful place for people to sit in picnic and explore.

420
00:49:36.330 --> 00:49:45.930
Jonathan Levy: And again, like like I mean having lived in Venice, I mean I understand the natural affinity to do something that's ocean themed on the boardwalk, but I think.

421
00:49:46.350 --> 00:49:52.020
Jonathan Levy: Like we're it's a community of artists and people that are working on their spirituality in their minds and.

422
00:49:52.350 --> 00:50:03.330
Jonathan Levy: And and phenomenal artists that have mental you know have mental divergence in various ways, and we do think mental health speaks to them, especially at the ocean, and we want to.

423
00:50:03.720 --> 00:50:09.360
Jonathan Levy: Make sure that no matter what there is a dialogue and an opportunity to talk about these important issues, I mean we're going out.

424
00:50:09.690 --> 00:50:15.270
Jonathan Levy: After coven and it's a way for people to connect and communicate and share together so it's it's.

425
00:50:15.570 --> 00:50:21.870
Jonathan Levy: Really, I mean we really have given a lot of thoughts to areas and to me like there isn't a better area when we talk to the city of La.

426
00:50:22.230 --> 00:50:31.860
Jonathan Levy: They they they kind of Sonia and team just felt like there was a beautiful synergy here, and we really you know, and we, we have visual representations and ways of.

427
00:50:32.190 --> 00:50:38.250
Jonathan Levy: We have a few locations on the boardwalk that are interesting to us and we'd love to just explore with you guys and sort of.

428
00:50:38.550 --> 00:50:47.040
Jonathan Levy: You know spit something out that really feels like it fits and is adding and and and is within the spirit of boardwalk one thing that i'm very.

429
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:58.620
Jonathan Levy: concerned about with Venice myself is that there's a lot of development that straddles the line of kind of basic gentrification that like chain like things you can see anywhere in the world and to create something that is.

430
00:50:59.100 --> 00:51:05.280
Jonathan Levy: going to constantly have recycling performers in art inside it that is more to capture the local Venice.

431
00:51:05.970 --> 00:51:12.990
Jonathan Levy: Tourists that are coming anyways not to bring a new we've never done this before, so we have no real broad based commercial following it's.

432
00:51:13.230 --> 00:51:21.600
Jonathan Levy: to something that feels more true to Venice and its history and, and that is something that's very, very exciting to us, and we think could be a very natural fit.

433
00:51:22.410 --> 00:51:22.860
Nick Antonicello: Very good.

434
00:51:23.430 --> 00:51:24.330
Jim Robb: Thank you, Jonathan.

435
00:51:24.570 --> 00:51:25.260
Jonathan Levy: It will be fun.

436
00:51:27.870 --> 00:51:34.620
Jim Robb: I want Jim to ask your question, give us some advice and then headbangers you can finish it up, and then we need to move.

437
00:51:35.100 --> 00:51:38.790
james murez: I don't know Jim I don't know that I can give advice, but thank you for the time to speak.

438
00:51:40.770 --> 00:51:50.850
james murez: I guess My first question is, is it really coastal dependent and and that comes to mind because it's going to require a coastal development permit to create a structure on the beach.

439
00:51:51.360 --> 00:52:08.280
james murez: And I think that there's going to be a permitting process there that you know if if this committee was to say yes today was completely streamlined you're looking at a year from now, before you can start construction and and I guess that brings me to my next question.

440
00:52:10.380 --> 00:52:11.580
james murez: The year today is.

441
00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:22.380
james murez: In six years from now we're going to have the Olympics in Venice, we hope that we can have an Olympic.

442
00:52:22.950 --> 00:52:33.480
james murez: venue which would be the skate Park, which is also directly behind where you're talking about putting this and my first question would be.

443
00:52:34.200 --> 00:52:45.990
james murez: Will this thing be removed by the time we have to set up a venue to host an Olympic event the size of a skate park and and with that in mind.

444
00:52:46.740 --> 00:52:55.350
james murez: The question comes back around to me when you first proposes I first started seeing this this evening you know there used to be a structure there.

445
00:52:55.980 --> 00:53:08.400
james murez: And it took the Community 35 years to get the structure removed it was called the Venice pavilion I actually still have plans to it, it was a performance space, and it was built.

446
00:53:09.630 --> 00:53:20.370
james murez: With a lot of very good intention and it never worked people didn't have parking access people didn't have interest in coming to a cold space.

447
00:53:20.730 --> 00:53:33.150
james murez: Where it was on the beach to go to performances of the type that they needed a stage for and seating and they had all of that, and it took the Community a very long time to get it removed.

448
00:53:33.630 --> 00:53:43.590
james murez: And it costs the city of fortune to remove it, we still have the paint walls that are out there that we have in our arts committee that that are the remnants of what was left over.

449
00:53:43.950 --> 00:53:57.720
james murez: So I guess in your $10 million proposal, one of my big questions is how much money have you allotted to removing the project, how much of a bond, would you be posting to make sure that the money was always available.

450
00:53:58.290 --> 00:54:15.180
james murez: To remove the project if, for whatever reason you didn't succeed let's say you don't make a go of it, and after year one the project fails now what happens so there had with there would have to be something in place that would guarantee removal of the project and with the.

451
00:54:16.650 --> 00:54:22.350
james murez: Long term goal of the Community to have the skatepark be an Olympic venue.

452
00:54:24.240 --> 00:54:30.480
james murez: The timeline would have to be considered, where it would be removed early enough that all of the planning and and.

453
00:54:32.430 --> 00:54:40.680
james murez: bleachers and all the venue equipment that's going to have to be put into place for a skatepark to exist in a in an Olympic forum.

454
00:54:41.490 --> 00:54:50.790
james murez: That would have to be at least a year in advance, maybe two so now the timeline is becoming very short Olympic stadium is just don't get built overnight.

455
00:54:51.270 --> 00:54:58.200
james murez: And, and so that would that's something that I would be very concerned about before the project was forward at gym to answer your question.

456
00:54:58.890 --> 00:55:06.150
james murez: No one last thing about this, one thing that I want to just note that I think everybody on ocean walk would probably agree with me.

457
00:55:06.990 --> 00:55:13.950
james murez: there's there's been a saying for many years that that Venice beach is the number two or tourist attraction in southern California.

458
00:55:14.700 --> 00:55:25.890
james murez: But you know what it's the number one free tourist attraction in southern California, the number one tourist attraction in real numbers it's Disneyland but it's a ticketed event.

459
00:55:26.490 --> 00:55:38.190
james murez: And Venice beach has always been free and the performers that are down there performing they do what they do, but it's always been free and you're talking about building something that's going to cost $45 a person to come in.

460
00:55:39.390 --> 00:55:47.040
james murez: it's a complete change a character in my mind, but you know more power to you if you can get people to do it, Jim to answer your question.

461
00:55:47.700 --> 00:55:54.780
james murez: about taking it forward to the board, in my opinion, based on what Jonathan has said in the rest of his team.

462
00:55:55.500 --> 00:56:07.110
james murez: It sounds to me like they need a little bit more time to think about it, and maybe they want to bring it back to your committee before you make some kind of formal presentation to the board that's just my opinion you do whatever you want with it, thank you.

463
00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:09.270
Jim Robb: Thank you hi Brian go ahead.

464
00:56:10.410 --> 00:56:12.990
Brian Averill: and start one final quick question for you guys.

465
00:56:14.160 --> 00:56:21.660
Brian Averill: And that is, are you considering other places in Venice does this have to be at the beach, would you do it somewhere else in Venice.

466
00:56:23.010 --> 00:56:31.920
HeadMaze: To I want to get I want to get through all these questions quickly I would be, I am happy to integrate the ocean.

467
00:56:32.430 --> 00:56:42.360
HeadMaze: And the ocean issues directly into the project as part of the art part of our nonprofit mission is within the environmental mission or the public benefit mission and the environmental mission.

468
00:56:42.720 --> 00:56:51.930
HeadMaze: Is ocean social cleanups activating our team to help make this space cleaner make it better and make a real positive environmental impact.

469
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.630
HeadMaze: And the art has a place to speak with that.

470
00:56:55.230 --> 00:57:05.910
HeadMaze: i've been talking about putting a line on the head that's in an inconvenient location that people can ask about which is going to be where the sea level rise will be in 50 years I think we have a chance to integrate.

471
00:57:06.420 --> 00:57:14.700
HeadMaze: Art and awareness, to the environmental ISM while still speaking about the human part of this part of the process that we're in.

472
00:57:15.690 --> 00:57:23.640
HeadMaze: James to hit your point in the nick to hit your point we anticipate that there is a space.

473
00:57:24.420 --> 00:57:32.220
HeadMaze: On Windward park that the head could fit that wouldn't obscure our views the ocean that would uphold the California coastal act.

474
00:57:32.610 --> 00:57:37.590
HeadMaze: And the edict that the California coast Commission is under that will preserve.

475
00:57:38.190 --> 00:57:49.650
HeadMaze: The line of sight to the skatepark and lift up the activities that are happening there, that will impact the park in an incredible vibrant way that will allow everyone's interests to be uplifted.

476
00:57:50.640 --> 00:58:00.270
HeadMaze: And as a note on the Olympics i'm reminded of I wait wait a moment in the last Beijing Olympics and his design work on the stadium complex.

477
00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:08.550
HeadMaze: Before China jailed him for five years and arts have a way of attracting intention.

478
00:58:09.150 --> 00:58:16.410
HeadMaze: They attract Olympic attention they attract international intention and the round out the space so we're really considering.

479
00:58:16.680 --> 00:58:26.700
HeadMaze: That skatepark as an Olympic venue and men is going to make an earnest bid on it, Venice means to have something that attract the IOC tension, I think, had made can do it.

480
00:58:27.240 --> 00:58:44.010
HeadMaze: However, if we don't think those things line i'm happy to make it a line in a way that had means comes down before the construction needs to happen for the skatepark last question that you brought up James I hope this last one sorry i'm not getting all of them.

481
00:58:45.180 --> 00:58:51.090
HeadMaze: i'm more than happy to hold a bond, to ensure that we can pull down the head of it's problematic.

482
00:58:51.900 --> 00:59:04.410
HeadMaze: The V in Venice, I understand has been both love peace but it's a piece that hasn't been purchased by the artist the artist, would like to be purchased and there's some contention there as soon as long term status.

483
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:12.180
HeadMaze: So you know i'd like to work with all the Community members to try to make this as as consensus.

484
00:59:12.600 --> 00:59:22.500
HeadMaze: As consensual as as humanly possible, and for those places where we make a bump i'd like to find a way to improve the environment in the long term.

485
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:37.500
HeadMaze: So everyone feels good all accepting that we can't guarantee those things and they're going to need to be some kind of agreements in our contract work that are backed up by some kind of funds to ensure that can happen and then Brian What was your last question.

486
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:43.650
Brian Averill: Very simply, would you guys consider another location in Venice that's not the beach.

487
00:59:44.130 --> 00:59:53.340
HeadMaze: Yes, correct so when word park is is by far the best location it's an obvious location, but we would be happy to find another location and Venice.

488
00:59:54.060 --> 01:00:01.140
HeadMaze: If we can find a place where this lines well and then it fits the needs of uplifting Venice and provides art.

489
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:19.860
HeadMaze: And we can do our work more than happy to do that, then lasses remember this piece will be fully permitted it's going to be fully engineered full architecture full engineering fire permits la building and planning sprinklers it will be, this will be a real installed.

490
01:00:21.270 --> 01:00:27.030
HeadMaze: gleefully oh yeah that'll have to be approved by every entity with Ada access drought.

491
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:38.100
Nick Antonicello: I just wanted to add something unless Jim years know something I don't know there are no event scheduled in Dennis for the 28 when.

492
01:00:39.030 --> 01:00:53.130
Nick Antonicello: They brought it into term the water sports or at long beach in Santa Monica now if there's something going on the skate park that i'm not aware of I don't know any activity for the 28 Olympics that are coming to that.

493
01:00:55.650 --> 01:00:56.040
Jim Robb: All right, alright.

494
01:00:58.680 --> 01:01:00.360
Jim Robb: Jim you're on mute still I mean.

495
01:01:00.420 --> 01:01:14.910
james murez: Sorry, there we go up yeah Nick there was a committee that was formed by three Council people that are now overseeing what's going to happen in the city, I can tell you, because I was a technology consultant and at for.

496
01:01:15.990 --> 01:01:25.320
james murez: The the planning occurs many years in advance two or three years in advance, where the venues are going to be and then everything gets built out.

497
01:01:26.070 --> 01:01:31.860
james murez: I you know the the bathhouse building that's in Venice, that was the guy john gertie that did all of the.

498
01:01:32.250 --> 01:01:49.860
james murez: The the visual graphics everything that occurred, for all of the venues and and many of the venues were set up with with very temporary materials, because you know the the activities only go on for a short period of time, but the swim stadium will be at usc I know that.

499
01:01:51.030 --> 01:01:55.110
james murez: That was built originally for it, I believe the Coliseum will be used once again.

500
01:01:55.980 --> 01:01:56.340
james murez: They have.

501
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:07.080
Nick Antonicello: Steady himself, I will be with the opening and closing game to be, but they are going to use the Rose bowl and you're correct the call Center but there won't be a new Olympic stadium built between you.

502
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:07.830
guys.

503
01:02:09.270 --> 01:02:09.780
Brian Averill: guys.

504
01:02:09.870 --> 01:02:10.770
Brian Averill: guys, please.

505
01:02:11.010 --> 01:02:11.340
james murez: yeah.

506
01:02:11.370 --> 01:02:13.530
Brian Averill: No just about the Olympic stadium right now.

507
01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:14.160
Okay.

508
01:02:16.260 --> 01:02:27.870
Jim Robb: All right, i'm talking right now, thank you had made for doing your presentation real quick you guys were talking about parking, can you tell them if it's off site what you guys plan on doing real quick just real quick.

509
01:02:28.440 --> 01:02:33.450
Jonathan Levy: yeah our our plan is to do um they did this downtown with something called the last distillery tour.

510
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:41.880
Jonathan Levy: And they had offside parking and then used a system of events that were experiences on the inside, to carry that.

511
01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:50.490
Jonathan Levy: So I mean our hope is that we can offer this parking off site, not only to people that are going to the experience but to anybody and offer this little trinket.

512
01:02:50.760 --> 01:03:04.410
Jonathan Levy: have an experience that people could enjoy it would motivate them from not parking on site, we hope, also hope to have that parking in line with public metro and other sources, to encourage that and have discounts to represent that.

513
01:03:05.610 --> 01:03:08.550
Jim Robb: Okay, thank you and I want to thank you guys again matt.

514
01:03:08.550 --> 01:03:11.280
Jim Robb: Hillary john all you guys.

515
01:03:11.310 --> 01:03:13.320
Jim Robb: Dana especially thank you.

516
01:03:14.250 --> 01:03:21.360
Jim Robb: will tell you what we got go from here, and I really appreciate you guys In fact we hung out the other night and gotta hear some live music so.

517
01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:27.480
Jim Robb: See y'all later alright so moving on.

518
01:03:28.500 --> 01:03:28.950
Jim Robb: Brian.

519
01:03:29.940 --> 01:03:36.150
Brian Averill: Well, I think these guys came here for a recommendation to the board, so we either do that or we don't.

520
01:03:37.470 --> 01:03:50.340
Brian Averill: I don't know that sending them back to this committee is going to change much so, I mean i'm i'm happy to make emotion recommending the board here this, I think you had made folks are going to hear a lot more of what you just heard tonight.

521
01:03:51.570 --> 01:03:57.330
Brian Averill: But if you'd like us to recommend it we're more than happy to do that you're going to hear a 10 times more than you just heard.

522
01:03:57.990 --> 01:04:10.500
Brian Averill: And you're making an exponentially harder for yourself, by doing this at the beach, but you know you guys did a lot of hard work, they are aspects, the mindfulness asset aspect these all fit into Venice, the great projects.

523
01:04:11.430 --> 01:04:16.530
Brian Averill: The beach is questionable, but if you want to present to the board, I have no problem, making a motion to do that.

524
01:04:16.830 --> 01:04:17.730
Nick Antonicello: i'll make a second.

525
01:04:18.540 --> 01:04:18.990
Brian Averill: There we go.

526
01:04:21.600 --> 01:04:21.960
Jim Robb: All right.

527
01:04:24.450 --> 01:04:27.390
Jim Robb: Do you want to put the motion together Robin go ahead.

528
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:41.970
Robin Rudisill: Well, I kind of liked jim's idea of you know, based on all the feedback they got today that they consider it and come back at our next meeting before we make any recommendation to the board, because I I I.

529
01:04:43.110 --> 01:04:47.280
Robin Rudisill: I can see where you might want the board to hear it, but I don't know that I can recommend it.

530
01:04:48.420 --> 01:04:53.610
Robin Rudisill: But recommend the project and if that's what you're asking us to do, I just I still think it's premature.

531
01:04:54.450 --> 01:04:56.220
Brian Averill: Well, I don't think we're recommending.

532
01:04:56.880 --> 01:04:57.150
Andrew Mika: we're just.

533
01:04:57.330 --> 01:04:58.650
Andrew Mika: Finding I agree with Robin.

534
01:05:00.120 --> 01:05:00.660
Nick Antonicello: promotion.

535
01:05:01.350 --> 01:05:02.310
Andrew Mika: be ironed out here.

536
01:05:02.670 --> 01:05:04.860
Andrew Mika: i'm not comfortable pushing the board.

537
01:05:05.670 --> 01:05:09.480
Nick Antonicello: The motion is the recommend that the board here is that my.

538
01:05:09.540 --> 01:05:13.200
Andrew Mika: Okay, may I mean you can make a motion that's fine we don't have to say yes.

539
01:05:13.680 --> 01:05:14.910
Nick Antonicello: Hello everyone happy.

540
01:05:14.940 --> 01:05:16.080
Andrew Mika: Yes, you know vote in.

541
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:27.960
Nick Antonicello: motion and the motion and the reason why seconded, it is good, my understanding of the motion is that collect the vm see here, these people out.

542
01:05:28.710 --> 01:05:41.310
Nick Antonicello: Correct me and see ultimately is going to make the decision anyway so we're just advisory to the dnc trusting all we're doing is live, you know, leaving it on the tracks and let it go down the road that needs to go down.

543
01:05:43.110 --> 01:05:44.070
Nick Antonicello: Am I right right was.

544
01:05:45.540 --> 01:05:55.980
evelynsaro: Exactly, and this is a I, I think it should go to the board, I think the Board is going to have a lot to say, but my thing is if you're just going to do an initial presentation.

545
01:05:56.490 --> 01:06:11.580
evelynsaro: you're going to get some ideas and then y'all can maybe figure out and iron out some stuff and then we present it, so I actually think it's kind of a good idea, so you kind of get a better feel of what other people are thinking.

546
01:06:12.120 --> 01:06:16.920
Jonathan Levy: Thank you, and we would really love to speak to all of you and meet with all of you, whether zoom or drinks or whatnot.

547
01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:25.290
Jonathan Levy: In the next week, if you can just and again our plan was just to present to the board we're not you know and see what the litmus test and get more feedback like.

548
01:06:25.560 --> 01:06:31.500
Jonathan Levy: We understand this as a working conversation and we're excited to have it like we don't want to, we want to be part of a Community where we.

549
01:06:31.830 --> 01:06:36.270
Jonathan Levy: embrace it and part of those the Community wanting us there it's just a fundamental you know.

550
01:06:37.230 --> 01:06:46.140
Jonathan Levy: important factor and that's why we started with you guys and having gone farther with the city, besides Sonia has in her team's endorsement today so.

551
01:06:46.770 --> 01:06:53.610
Jonathan Levy: I mean, maybe we could set up some time this week, if it's if if you're available for drinks or for another zoom of Q amp a or whatever.

552
01:06:53.880 --> 01:07:01.950
Jonathan Levy: fits sounds good we're here and we'd love to meet with every single one of you individually or together, and it will will do some outreach to see if that's possible.

553
01:07:02.190 --> 01:07:06.600
Nick Antonicello: Well, right now, you have a motion seconded and now we need public come.

554
01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:10.410
Robin Rudisill: What kind of information, what exactly is the motion.

555
01:07:11.130 --> 01:07:16.860
Brian Averill: Motion the ocean from walk committee recommends the dnc board here this presentation.

556
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:17.970
Nick Antonicello: And I second.

557
01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:20.910
Nick Antonicello: Now we're looking for public comment.

558
01:07:21.570 --> 01:07:25.590
Brian Averill: we've got one we've got Lisa Lisa go for it.

559
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:36.990
Lisa Redmond: represented here i'm actually I think it's a good idea if they're you know not looking to go forward with you know landing the permit next week.

560
01:07:37.260 --> 01:07:46.920
Lisa Redmond: And they're just looking for formation ideas and presenting it to get people's had no pun intended there wrapped around this whole idea to start thinking about it, and everything.

561
01:07:47.820 --> 01:07:53.940
Lisa Redmond: yeah send it to the board, let them talk about it let's have something different, and exciting that those board meetings.

562
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.680
Lisa Redmond: Other than you know talking about how awful homeless people are um.

563
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:12.510
Lisa Redmond: So, and I personally don't have a problem with a giant head I don't think that you always have to have everything matchy matchy just because it's on the beach, so it needs to be a whale or a dolphin so let's let's bring the discussion on.

564
01:08:13.740 --> 01:08:13.950
Brian Averill: Thanks.

565
01:08:14.190 --> 01:08:14.820
Lisa.

566
01:08:16.020 --> 01:08:17.280
Brian Averill: ramirez do you have public comment.

567
01:08:17.460 --> 01:08:25.530
james murez: yeah I do, I just want to remind you all that are making the motion of how the board operates.

568
01:08:27.210 --> 01:08:37.080
james murez: The Board does not hear presentations and then take public discussion if it's a presentation to the board it's a presentation and that's all.

569
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:43.680
james murez: If you want to send it forward as a motion, then it will have a presentation and also emotion.

570
01:08:44.070 --> 01:08:57.780
james murez: But I can tell you pretty much for certain that if what they bring to the board today is what was brought to you all today, I think a lot of people are going to have the same response that Robin and and.

571
01:08:58.650 --> 01:09:08.550
james murez: Andrew had that this thing is not a cake that's been baked yet, and it needs to have a lot more consideration and under that.

572
01:09:09.750 --> 01:09:19.920
james murez: Under that basis it will be sent back to your committee or will die on the floor and in either case it's just going to mean wasting a lot of people's time.

573
01:09:20.370 --> 01:09:27.930
james murez: And you know it to me it doesn't make sense to we want the board wants the work to take place in the committee.

574
01:09:28.350 --> 01:09:40.050
james murez: The Board wants the discussion to take place in the committee, we want you guys to hash it out and to let the public have input and say, if you wanted to get more people involved in it.

575
01:09:40.620 --> 01:09:50.700
james murez: bring it back to your committee in another month or two whenever you're ready, but get outreach to do a big outreach effort to let the public know.

576
01:09:51.810 --> 01:09:58.410
james murez: In a newsletter or in a mailing or something that this thing's coming before your committee and, at the same time.

577
01:09:58.950 --> 01:10:04.170
james murez: When Jim makes his presentation to the board about upcoming things that you're discussing.

578
01:10:04.410 --> 01:10:11.190
james murez: That you can put a picture up on the screen instead of sitting, and let me Jim you're beautiful but instead of looking at you sitting at the screen.

579
01:10:11.490 --> 01:10:17.580
james murez: put up a picture of the of the of the artwork that you're planning on putting there and say, and then talk to the background.

580
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:34.140
james murez: and say hey this thing's coming to our committee next month, we want to get as much input, as we can, please come in attendance at seven o'clock on Wednesday, whatever the date is, and I think you'd go a lot farther that way, I think you'd end up getting this thing to the board.

581
01:10:35.250 --> 01:10:36.990
james murez: In a more presentable way.

582
01:10:38.400 --> 01:10:53.880
Jim Robb: Okay quick question that lexi on just a second what if it has what if they want to move to the library, that is out of the ocean front walks territory so that's kind of where i'm at if it's not officially on ocean front, then, where do I go next.

583
01:10:54.990 --> 01:10:55.950
Robin Rudisill: I committee.

584
01:10:59.340 --> 01:11:03.870
Jim Robb: Okay, all right lexi and then after you can speak, if you want go ahead, but lexi.

585
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:12.120
alexandriayalj: hi i'm i've actually experienced this on Playa as well as these other projects, so I believe this is a great.

586
01:11:12.570 --> 01:11:25.050
alexandriayalj: thing of value to bring Venice, especially leading into the Olympics, I agree that we should see their revised presentation before we send it to the board.

587
01:11:25.740 --> 01:11:41.430
alexandriayalj: Because it's a reflection on us and you guys had really great questions, personally, I think we need more imagery in the presentation less words, I think you need to show them right out the gate like how big it is how its.

588
01:11:41.850 --> 01:11:53.280
alexandriayalj: Mobile if it has to come down for the Olympics or need to be moved somewhere how easy, that is, I think we definitely need more visuals there unless words in the actual presentation slides.

589
01:11:54.150 --> 01:12:10.230
alexandriayalj: But I am very excited about this conversation, and that this is happening because we need this where worldwide destination known for arts and Community so let's be a leader in that so yeah i'm a forcing another revised of it, but it has my full support.

590
01:12:11.160 --> 01:12:23.100
Brian Averill: got it i'm gonna i'm gonna jump in here, Jim head miss folks having heard all of this, would you like us to recommend that you go to the board, I think you can sort of see the writing on the wall here, or would you like to come back.

591
01:12:24.210 --> 01:12:26.640
Brian Averill: Because we're going to vote on this and 30 seconds.

592
01:12:27.060 --> 01:12:37.770
HeadMaze: i'm i'm happy i'm happy to see a vote, as long as it doesn't step on any toes if we go to the board i'm happy to develop an incredible presentation for the board and see what happens.

593
01:12:38.040 --> 01:12:47.880
HeadMaze: i'm happy to come back to you guys and develop an incredible presentation, for you were referring to you on this um you know and let's see what happens.

594
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:56.130
Andrew Mika: I speak to my fellow board members and remind them that, if we push something up to the dnc.

595
01:12:56.850 --> 01:13:05.400
Andrew Mika: It that has to do with the integrity of our committee and our thoroughness to what we feel is ready for them to apply not.

596
01:13:06.180 --> 01:13:17.190
Andrew Mika: be mindful of that that they then judge you and your competency based on what you push forward so if you feel that this presentation this project is ready for dnc vote.

597
01:13:17.970 --> 01:13:28.080
Andrew Mika: push it forward if you feel that you would look rather like maybe there wasn't enough information here priority pushing the dnc.

598
01:13:29.220 --> 01:13:31.740
Andrew Mika: Think about your vote, in that sense, thank you.

599
01:13:31.950 --> 01:13:33.150
Jim Robb: yeah that's a great point.

600
01:13:33.180 --> 01:13:34.320
Jim Robb: Go ahead, Robert real.

601
01:13:34.320 --> 01:13:39.330
Jim Robb: quick and let's get this thing moving all right now well now we're back now once an hour.

602
01:13:40.020 --> 01:13:44.310
Robin Rudisill: is very quickly, I recommend a no vote I echo what.

603
01:13:46.530 --> 01:14:01.140
Robin Rudisill: Andrew just said, and I agree that there has to be an outreach effort we have to organize that it invitations to the next meeting out to the surrounding residents and the businesses, and you know, bring in a lot of input at our next meeting, thank you.

604
01:14:01.410 --> 01:14:03.210
Jim Robb: Thank you for the well quickly.

605
01:14:03.630 --> 01:14:18.150
Noel Johnston: I agree with with Robin and and Andrew and several other people who have asked for of what I would call a hard presentation this is, this is a concept and it's it's very it's very loosely presented.

606
01:14:19.470 --> 01:14:21.960
Noel Johnston: The head itself is a very interesting.

607
01:14:23.040 --> 01:14:32.970
Noel Johnston: object, but we're we're missing all sorts of details, including things like parking and safety and.

608
01:14:34.380 --> 01:14:43.770
Noel Johnston: scope and someone brought up the ease of taking it down putting it up, how are we going to protect it from vandalism there.

609
01:14:45.030 --> 01:14:56.610
Noel Johnston: it's huge and and this presentation really needs to be refined it needs to be made up of what I would call a hard presentation and I think the.

610
01:14:57.300 --> 01:15:07.740
Noel Johnston: presenter seem like they're up for this, so I hope I hope that we'll come back to our committee and and not go ahead and present before the vlc itself.

611
01:15:08.550 --> 01:15:13.530
Jim Robb: All right, Nick your hands raise it kind of feels like you're in a withdrawal this but I don't know so i'm hoping.

612
01:15:14.040 --> 01:15:18.930
Nick Antonicello: Well i'm not gonna withdraw are stuck in it was Brian is called withdrawing the initial motion.

613
01:15:19.350 --> 01:15:27.900
Nick Antonicello: My only point is that of course this is going to be the final presentation to the dnc these people have heard all kinds of input today.

614
01:15:28.530 --> 01:15:39.660
Nick Antonicello: As far as the skatepark and the 11th concerned this is apples and oranges, we don't there are no events that are going to be in Venice at the 28 Olympics, as of this moment.

615
01:15:40.950 --> 01:15:47.010
Jim Robb: We got we heard that we heard that before so let's just move on, we gotta get going all right, Brian.

616
01:15:47.610 --> 01:15:57.090
Brian Averill: To be clear, all this motion is is to have the dnc see this presentation, which will no doubt be tweaked a little bit before it happens they've listened to us records.

617
01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:11.010
Brian Averill: So it's going to improve in the next month or two, so all this motion is is to present to the dnc here look here's what we want to do guys, what do you think we don't even have to they don't even have to vote on it's just showing them the project that's it.

618
01:16:11.580 --> 01:16:19.800
Jim Robb: All right, well let's do a bow on the mend the motion that Brian and Nick second all right ready.

619
01:16:21.240 --> 01:16:21.780

657
01:18:38.460 --> 01:18:45.360
Brian Averill: Item number six, which is from me this is move all rose avenue beach lot food distribution to a new location.

658
01:18:46.440 --> 01:19:00.060
Brian Averill: What thanks Nick I was gonna read it, whereas many months and millions of dollars were spent moving people off the beach and into housing this past year, and whereas it is illogical and counterproductive to stage food distribution at this very same location.

659
01:19:00.630 --> 01:19:12.300
Brian Averill: Therefore, the dnc request Council member bond and work with Lhasa and supervisor kills office to dialogue with these groups and move these events to a more suitable location with letters sent to all three.

660
01:19:18.870 --> 01:19:19.410
Brian Averill: Okay.

661
01:19:19.860 --> 01:19:21.030
Public public comment.

662
01:19:24.390 --> 01:19:27.030
james murez: What do you Oh, should I wait to be called on.

663
01:19:27.780 --> 01:19:29.130
Jim Robb: Here was just to do the quick.

664
01:19:29.130 --> 01:19:35.460
Jim Robb: Public comment from Lisa all right Lisa oh and sonya will have you to go ahead Lisa.

665
01:19:36.120 --> 01:19:51.030
Lisa Redmond: um yeah ah, I have obviously some problems with this, I mean if if you feel that it's dangerous to be in a parking lot doing food distribution then that's what the motion should reflect but to say that.

666
01:19:52.170 --> 01:20:01.140
Lisa Redmond: Basically you're saying is with nicely without saying it is we don't want to have food here, because then that's going to keep attracting on house people.

667
01:20:01.830 --> 01:20:14.580
Lisa Redmond: And you know these people that give out food it's it's within their first amendment rights to do so, the 11th circuit Court of Appeals has said that.

668
01:20:18.780 --> 01:20:23.970
Lisa Redmond: it's a you know, not everybody that comes to them is on housed.

669
01:20:24.450 --> 01:20:39.060
Lisa Redmond: And there are a lot of people with food insecurity that go to these food distributions it, especially those guys at the beach because they're showing up with vegetables and and kind of food that needs to be prepared and cooked and so people with food insecurity.

670
01:20:40.230 --> 01:20:45.360
Lisa Redmond: Including right across from the Rose lot people in those senior housing.

671
01:20:47.190 --> 01:20:54.810
Lisa Redmond: You know, on limited incomes also are using some of those food distribution it's not just unhappy people so.

672
01:20:57.090 --> 01:20:58.830
Lisa Redmond: that's i'm just.

673
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:06.360
Lisa Redmond: i'm really concerned about the language of this and now you're going to start that, then you bring it on to another and and then it's like.

674
01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:17.460
Lisa Redmond: What what point do we start getting rid of all the people that are trying to give out food on the beach or elsewhere, because of the implied that it tracks and house people.

675
01:21:18.360 --> 01:21:30.540
Lisa Redmond: Also i'm just technical point I don't know that we can send a letter to your supervisor kills office, the dnc is neighborhood Council only works for the city only send a city.

676
01:21:31.830 --> 01:21:33.690
Lisa Redmond: offices, not a super sorial.

677
01:21:35.250 --> 01:21:35.850
Jim Robb: Real quick.

678
01:21:36.870 --> 01:21:37.380
Jim Robb: Lisa.

679
01:21:37.860 --> 01:21:54.330
Jim Robb: yeah if not their IBM Brian talked about this, are there any other locations in front of you know spy or on rose avenue, and you know places where places where that you know that they could other besides the boardwalk that.

680
01:21:54.540 --> 01:22:01.260
Lisa Redmond: That we may be a blow that's The thing is, you know also you set up a place and people know where it is and so.

681
01:22:01.620 --> 01:22:12.300
Lisa Redmond: People need that Richmond but you bring it up one place my point was also if you get rid of them at the rosov there are several other people that do food distribution along ocean front walk as well.

682
01:22:12.750 --> 01:22:18.000
Lisa Redmond: And then also you know the homeless committee and vicki had a similar kind of motion as well.

683
01:22:19.650 --> 01:22:24.120
Lisa Redmond: you're trying to get rid of it out of the lot she was like saying that people need to work through.

684
01:22:25.260 --> 01:22:26.310
Lisa Redmond: All the different outreach.

685
01:22:28.740 --> 01:22:29.670
Jim Robb: All right, we got it.

686
01:22:30.450 --> 01:22:31.710
Andrew Mika: We got polycarbonate.

687
01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:33.030
Nick Antonicello: point.

01:22:34.170 --> 01:22:35.070
Jim Robb: 10 seconds.

690
01:22:35.100 --> 01:22:36.210
Nick Antonicello: Point point of water.

691
01:22:37.470 --> 01:22:45.630
Nick Antonicello: The President of the Union station, the under discussion with the committee since she's an ex officio Member and not under public comment it.

692
01:22:46.740 --> 01:22:47.130
Jim Robb: All right.

693
01:22:47.820 --> 01:22:49.800
Brian Averill: duly noted, Sonia do you have something on this.

694
01:22:51.630 --> 01:22:57.090
Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah, I just wanted to say that we've been working with the county as well, talking to these groups, but they don't really reach out.

695
01:22:58.320 --> 01:23:07.380
Sonya Young Jimenez: Our our concern is that they leave boxes of food like like Lisa said it's not food that the House that are on Venice can actually use, they have to be able to cook it and.

696
01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:13.290
Sonya Young Jimenez: fresh fruits and vegetables that go just spoiled in the parking lot, so our concern is more it's not really.

697
01:23:14.010 --> 01:23:22.440
Sonya Young Jimenez: Like the type of food that they should be giving and then it just ends up being stuck in a lot, so we have a concern with it as well we've been trying to work together with the county to see if we can get Ahold of.

698
01:23:23.190 --> 01:23:27.600
Sonya Young Jimenez: We have gotten Ahold of them, but they know they continue to be out there, so we are working on it as well.

699
01:23:28.410 --> 01:23:33.690
Brian Averill: Thank you, Sonia Sonia just to be clear, you guys have found that there's a lot of food being left in the law.

700
01:23:34.710 --> 01:23:42.690
Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah the lead boxes of food they'll do their distribution and then, when they're done, they just leave everything so just stays in a lot in these boxes, we have pictures of boxes just being left on the son.

701
01:23:43.020 --> 01:23:48.180
Sonya Young Jimenez: Of all this food just riding there so it's not even sure people are taking it, but then whatever is left over, they just leave they're.

702
01:23:48.570 --> 01:23:49.380
Brian Averill: not sure, thank you.

703
01:23:49.590 --> 01:23:50.280
Thank you, Sonia.

704
01:23:51.390 --> 01:23:51.600

Jim Robb: fuse your head up or duty to speak, or can we just move our mark Rocco.

706
01:23:58.770 --> 01:24:00.180

01:24:01.620 --> 01:24:01.920
Mark Rago: of it.

709
01:24:03.540 --> 01:24:05.460
Mark Rago: And how many times a week to they do it.

710
01:24:08.580 --> 01:24:08.970
Jim Robb: Right.

711
01:24:10.140 --> 01:24:11.670
Brian Averill: yeah it's been going on for a while.

712
01:24:13.170 --> 01:24:14.280
Jim Robb: And I thought you know this.

713
01:24:14.460 --> 01:24:18.810
Brian Averill: I think it's twice a week I think Lisa would know much better than I, how often have this.

714
01:24:20.970 --> 01:24:21.960
Jim Robb: All right, Nick.

715
01:24:24.510 --> 01:24:25.200
Brian Averill: Nick you're muted.

716
01:24:27.840 --> 01:24:28.620
Brian Averill: you're muted there.

717
01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:37.920
Nick Antonicello: The only point I was trying to make is that we're in public comment that Lisa now i'm assuming when our board.

718
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:41.130
Nick Antonicello: Correct okay that's what I was a nation.

719
01:24:42.390 --> 01:24:47.400
Jim Robb: Yes, thank you board comment Noel board comment, and they were moving on.

720
01:24:47.850 --> 01:24:56.610
Noel Johnston: Oh, we still have three feeding stations in the 261 spaces, is that is that not is that not correct anymore.

721
01:24:58.170 --> 01:24:58.350
Jim Robb: Right.

722
01:24:59.190 --> 01:25:00.720
Brian Averill: And i'm not sure.

723
01:25:00.810 --> 01:25:01.740
Brian Averill: I don't have an answer for that.

724
01:25:02.370 --> 01:25:03.540
Jim Robb: Depending on with the.

725
01:25:03.690 --> 01:25:11.130
Noel Johnston: star as far as I know, in the 261 spaces on the West side of the boardwalk, there are three feeding stations I.

726
01:25:12.060 --> 01:25:23.640
Noel Johnston: I was i'm not crazy about where they are, but there it seems to me that that those three feeding stations still exist if they do I think they should be utilized and I don't think there should be.

727
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:30.930
Noel Johnston: feeding all over the place those three feeding stations shouldn't shouldn't be enough, and they should be they.

728
01:25:31.470 --> 01:25:37.050
Noel Johnston: Bring food, there should also be responsible for cleaning them up, they can't just bring food there and.

729
01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:50.910
Noel Johnston: And dump it and i'm with Sonia on this because I see a lot of a lot of food and vegetables i've seen i've seen cartons of riding food i've seen and i'm sure all of you have two.

730
01:25:51.660 --> 01:26:01.350
Noel Johnston: Big baskets of writing bagels I couple of years ago, I saw rat i'm i'm burned out of my house i'm not on the boardwalk right now but.

731
01:26:02.550 --> 01:26:06.570
Noel Johnston: Two years ago I saw not one, but several rats.

732
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:15.960
Noel Johnston: Eating bagels on the board mock and I I just I think that that a lot of this is very well meaning and and there is.

733
01:26:16.770 --> 01:26:34.320
Noel Johnston: people's hearts are in the right place, but this needs to be done, intelligent and and compassionate fashion it's going to be done on the boardwalk I don't happen to think that food outreach is a real good mix on the boardwalk We have lots of restaurants on the boardwalk we have little.

734
01:26:37.140 --> 01:26:50.400
Noel Johnston: Food emporiums all up and down the boardwalk and I don't think it works very well with handing out food to the homeless That having been said, we got those three feeding stations, I think we should do some that's it.

735
01:26:50.460 --> 01:26:52.140
Jim Robb: Thank you, Andrew.

736
01:26:53.550 --> 01:27:00.660
Andrew Mika: i've seen your ads more much more recently than two years ago there, this is a public health hazard at this point.

737
01:27:02.250 --> 01:27:05.940
Jim Robb: Okay, I love it, so now we can vote let's vote.

alexandriayalj: hey guys thanks so much and i'm coming to you as we're so excited about this meeting i'm excited that there's programming and effort for programming coming out of parks and REC.

765
01:28:51.750 --> 01:29:01.620
alexandriayalj: I feel like we have had a little bit of a starter revitalization of our boardwalk I feel like we got a lot of attention negative attention.

766
01:29:01.890 --> 01:29:16.290
alexandriayalj: For how the state of the boardwalk was during coven and to my surprise it's managed to stay better than I expected it to, and I think we all here would will say that we want to kind of keep improving it.

767
01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:32.670
alexandriayalj: And so you know excited to see the head maze project proposal or presentation and I think it's time that we start putting positive energy back not only onto the boardwalk but also the beach and i'm just really here seeking.

768
01:29:33.180 --> 01:29:45.990
alexandriayalj: Dialogue guidance input and possibly support on how we can approach the governing bodies on how we can collaborate and look at the language about permitting for events on the beach.

769
01:29:46.380 --> 01:29:52.170
alexandriayalj: And i'm thinking of like small things to bring positive attention to Venice like.

770
01:29:53.070 --> 01:30:11.040
alexandriayalj: A kite flying festival, where people can just actively participate free programming right, creating a stunning visual scene, but unfortunately, as the stated, it is we are allowed in Venice to have events permitted during the summer months now speaking.

771
01:30:11.730 --> 01:30:20.070
Brian Averill: lux I apologize for cutting off, but why don't we get the motion on the floor, then we could do public comment, and then we can all we can go for it.

772
01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:32.340
alexandriayalj: I want to present emotion to explore the language and the permitting process for events and why or why not we're allowed as a city to have events on the beach here.

773
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:33.630
Brian Averill: gotcha okay.

774
01:30:35.550 --> 01:30:40.380
alexandriayalj: And i'm sure, maybe this motion needs some kind of revision and that's why i'm bringing it to you guys.

775
01:30:40.500 --> 01:30:45.150
Brian Averill: i'm just i'm going to read it into the record here so it's to allow each of them permits during the summer.

776
01:30:45.930 --> 01:30:46.560
Brian Averill: From lexi.

777
01:30:47.910 --> 01:30:51.960
Brian Averill: The fact is that each event permits are currently unavailable during the summer months.

778
01:30:53.670 --> 01:30:54.480
Jim Robb: correctly.

779
01:30:55.380 --> 01:30:56.310

01:31:08.430 --> 01:31:19.980
Lisa Redmond: yeah next time me um you know I didn't have a problem with lexi presenting her motion because, just to say emotion and then have public comment.

786
01:31:20.580 --> 01:31:30.990
Lisa Redmond: I need some conjecture, you know be nice to for her to present the motion to give some background and then allow it public comment that's all I think you cut her off too quick.

787
01:31:32.490 --> 01:31:37.710
Lisa Redmond: The public should know why there's no permits allowed during the summer and those kinds of things so let's hear it that's all.

788
01:31:37.860 --> 01:31:38.130
Thanks.

789
01:31:39.360 --> 01:31:45.450
alexandriayalj: Yes, thank you, I would i'm happy to speak to that i'm currently I have been approached.

790
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:52.350
alexandriayalj: Over seven years of people wanting to do events on the beach and there's been no availability to have a permit.

791
01:31:52.650 --> 01:32:07.200
alexandriayalj: The reason or the reasons i've been given is that it's too congested along Venice beach well let's think about that why don't we capitalizing a stakeholders to provide programming and events for people to come here and to create commerce.

792
01:32:07.530 --> 01:32:18.870
alexandriayalj: Just like our head maze folks here who are interested in doing a land lease that brings revenue back into our city why can't we do the same for small scale events and ones that contribute.

793
01:32:19.740 --> 01:32:25.200
alexandriayalj: i'm happy to share not right now, at this moment, but with any of you personally my experience.

794
01:32:25.500 --> 01:32:36.570
alexandriayalj: Producing events all over the world in large public spaces, including time Square and exchange square in London and when you're producing these events, usually the.

795
01:32:37.410 --> 01:32:50.190
alexandriayalj: event permit holder has to have maybe a paramedics on standby and has to pay for that these are things that I don't think are being considered for permitting.

796
01:32:51.300 --> 01:33:06.360
alexandriayalj: collaborations or even allowing it right now, as far as i'm concerned with beaches and harbors and also the county as well, so I think as Venetians we can look at this language and see if there's any room to evolve these things.

797
01:33:07.320 --> 01:33:08.190
Jim Robb: awesome Thank you.

798
01:33:10.200 --> 01:33:11.790
Nick Antonicello: Sonia answer the question directly.

799
01:33:14.100 --> 01:33:17.070
Jim Robb: i'm running the show right now to speak.

800
01:33:17.310 --> 01:33:18.780
Nick Antonicello: Of this mega recommendation.

801
01:33:19.200 --> 01:33:31.980
Jim Robb: Okay coleen go ahead, please tell me, and she is does anybody that doesn't know she ran the ocean front walk before, so this might have came up before and then we'll put Sonia speak and then we'll that Robin speak go ahead, going.

802
01:33:32.310 --> 01:33:44.880
evelynsaro: yeah and i'm sure you've already done this, but you know, this is a whole beaches and harbors thing, and you have to go to them and it's pretty much probably not going to go through, because of the limitations and then it's got to go through coastal so i'm sure you've done that.

803
01:33:46.950 --> 01:33:47.970
evelynsaro: Yes, yeah.

804
01:33:48.240 --> 01:34:03.360
alexandriayalj: I want to bring this to our committee and I think it's important to more stakeholders of Venice of realizing you know our neighboring cities are creating programming and events such as long beach and San Diego.

805
01:34:04.080 --> 01:34:15.660
alexandriayalj: And even looking forward to the Olympics i've done projects that ran congruent to the Olympics that created arts and cultures for visitors, and I think there's no better place than to be.

806
01:34:16.020 --> 01:34:28.200
alexandriayalj: Creating that then in Venice, we are a world wide known artistic Community however we're not even allowed to have a flight kite fly a kite flying festival on the beach.

807
01:34:28.650 --> 01:34:38.010
alexandriayalj: When people are coming to the beach, I think this has to do with access, and I think this has to do with not being able to generate revenue for community.

808
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:40.650
Jim Robb: yeah Sonia.

809
01:34:43.890 --> 01:34:48.900
Sonya Young Jimenez: Hello um so yeah in regards to the beach so beaches and harper does control the sand.

810
01:34:49.230 --> 01:34:59.280
Sonya Young Jimenez: But melody and I are very open to programming and we have you guys noticed you've been having a lot more events, and there are certain areas of the sand, that we do controls, like the volleyball area or the.

811
01:34:59.610 --> 01:35:09.840
Sonya Young Jimenez: area between the graffiti walls in the skate park that sand is also ours, so we are really open to doing these type of events, and if you guys want to be, you know more creative and not really on the stand.

812
01:35:10.230 --> 01:35:18.270
Sonya Young Jimenez: I know beaches in harbor we've we met with them as well and they're very strict about their policies have no permits, but we are open, so you know if you guys ever want to do events.

813
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:25.470
Sonya Young Jimenez: inside of the you know the area that we control, we are we're welcome to we're welcoming you guys to bring those up to us, so thank you.

814
01:35:26.130 --> 01:35:27.870
Jim Robb: Thank you, Sonia Robin go ahead.

815
01:35:27.870 --> 01:35:37.650
Robin Rudisill: Please, I just want to clarify what the motion is because I heard lexi say one thing and then Brian said something a bit different so Could somebody.

816
01:35:37.950 --> 01:35:41.280
Brian Averill: lose there's no motion it's just discussion and possible motion.

817
01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:45.690
Robin Rudisill: Oh well, next secondary emotion, so I thought there was one.

818
01:35:46.530 --> 01:35:53.760
Nick Antonicello: There was a motion make the motion was to look into the permitting process on the weekend during the summer right right.

819
01:35:55.530 --> 01:35:55.710
Nick Antonicello: well.

820
01:35:56.460 --> 01:36:02.280
Nick Antonicello: that's what that's what you stated, and then Brian kind of massage it into a motion I may.

821
01:36:03.510 --> 01:36:06.840
Brian Averill: I would prefer lexi sort of word the emotion, this is, this is it.

822
01:36:08.280 --> 01:36:14.370
alexandriayalj: yeah no I was really coming to you guys as to like how to word this to emotion, to bring it to the Venice neighborhood.

823
01:36:14.790 --> 01:36:26.250
alexandriayalj: Council, I think this is something that really needs to be looked at and i'm again seeking input and guidance on what emotion, an effective motion and our strategy would be just to.

824
01:36:26.790 --> 01:36:36.720
Nick Antonicello: Look at what you're trying to accomplish if you want a motion both of the dnc asking that the permit process be opened up for the summer month.

825
01:36:37.230 --> 01:36:42.180
Nick Antonicello: Correct that's correct that when you're trying to accomplish crack why don't we.

826
01:36:43.350 --> 01:36:47.520
Nick Antonicello: I think brian's packed and like a secretary can can you.

827
01:36:49.290 --> 01:36:49.680
Robin Rudisill: Take.

828
01:36:50.400 --> 01:36:57.480
Nick Antonicello: Can you reward what I just said and and that will be emotions and someone will have to make the motion and.

829
01:36:59.340 --> 01:37:02.340
Jim Robb: We shot, now we got people's hands up Nick so let.

830
01:37:02.520 --> 01:37:10.200
Jim Robb: them speak very quickly, since he's dnc guy in charge, and then colleague and then mark go ahead, Jim.

831
01:37:10.710 --> 01:37:19.830
james murez: I just want to say that I think this is a very interesting discussion, the most interesting discussion i've heard come out of your committee in quite some time, I think it has a lot of.

832
01:37:20.160 --> 01:37:24.930
james murez: praise and benefit and and I would definitely like to see a.

833
01:37:25.410 --> 01:37:32.760
james murez: clear, concise motion of of what you would like to have done it's not clear how to go about getting it done.

834
01:37:33.060 --> 01:37:39.480
james murez: But I think that we can work on that and I think we can find solutions for you it's the first time i've heard that you couldn't do this on the beach.

835
01:37:39.810 --> 01:37:49.950
james murez: During the summer, and I think that you need to try and qualify someplace along the way, what perhaps a low impact or or a stakeholder kind of an event would be.

836
01:37:50.700 --> 01:38:05.820
james murez: It perhaps in terms of number of people that might attend such an event, just so there were there would be a way for us to quantify the size of the event, so the impact to the Community could somehow be understood.

837
01:38:06.360 --> 01:38:08.370
james murez: And then become much more palatable.

838
01:38:10.020 --> 01:38:11.190
Jim Robb: Okay, thank you Jeff.

839
01:38:12.450 --> 01:38:13.470
Jim Robb: Helene real quick.

840
01:38:13.470 --> 01:38:14.070
Jim Robb: And then mark.

841
01:38:16.290 --> 01:38:17.310
Jim Robb: you're muted sorry.

842
01:38:17.640 --> 01:38:28.470
evelynsaro: Sorry okay there okay um you know, since Sony just said, that we can week you could do we can do stuff on their parts, the beach i'm wondering because beaches in.

843
01:38:28.470 --> 01:38:29.790
evelynsaro: harbors is.

844
01:38:31.290 --> 01:38:32.070
evelynsaro: So.

845
01:38:33.150 --> 01:38:40.440
evelynsaro: staunched against this that maybe if you utilize the spaces that Sonia says they have available to us.

846
01:38:41.010 --> 01:38:50.760
evelynsaro: And and do that so there's proof and there's a precedent, and then we take that to beaches and harbors and then I think that I don't even know if the motion to happen, I think this is just something maybe.

847
01:38:51.060 --> 01:38:57.780
evelynsaro: We can do an event starting a bit with this with the city and then take that you know and show it to be just an harbors.

848
01:39:01.830 --> 01:39:02.190
Nick Antonicello: well.

849
01:39:02.490 --> 01:39:07.620
Nick Antonicello: This discussion on emotion that no one seems to understand oh.

850
01:39:07.650 --> 01:39:10.410
evelynsaro: No, but I just said, there may not need to be emotion.

851
01:39:10.740 --> 01:39:11.610
Nick Antonicello: Okay whoa.

852
01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:14.880
evelynsaro: That was my That was my suggestion, what i'm saying is.

853
01:39:14.910 --> 01:39:21.540
Nick Antonicello: That do you want to move forward with emotion, or would you rather have Jim is chairman.

854
01:39:22.710 --> 01:39:32.760
Nick Antonicello: reach out to beaches in Harvard and get some clarification as to use each other teach during the summer and the weekend, that is, that what we're trying to accomplish.

855
01:39:34.110 --> 01:39:43.230
alexandriayalj: yeah let's open some dialogue, I don't know if it's if, like it sounds like some of you are interested to know more, as well, so we could do it as the committee.

856
01:39:43.560 --> 01:39:56.730
Nick Antonicello: Then, maybe we can make a motion that this committee recommends to the dnc that the President reach out to beaches and harbors as to rules and regulations of.

857
01:39:57.510 --> 01:40:06.750
Nick Antonicello: Summer that's on the beach here in Venice and particularly on the weekends and then dialogue will be between the President and beaches and what.

858
01:40:11.040 --> 01:40:15.180
alexandriayalj: tans gets me think mark had something to say to I want to hear everyone.

859
01:40:15.690 --> 01:40:16.440
Nick Antonicello: will be the second.

860
01:40:18.720 --> 01:40:19.290
alexandriayalj: Can I say.

861
01:40:20.040 --> 01:40:22.350
alexandriayalj: Yes, I second that OK.

862
01:40:23.280 --> 01:40:26.700
Nick Antonicello: So now we have a public comment on the new motion.

863
01:40:28.440 --> 01:40:29.580
Mark Rago: To ask the question first.

864
01:40:30.330 --> 01:40:32.130
Nick Antonicello: Well yeah public comment.

865
01:40:32.610 --> 01:40:33.150
Jim Robb: hey Nick.

866
01:40:33.690 --> 01:40:39.690
Jim Robb: Nick can you let me run my meeting real quick here, thank you mark Rocco I want you to.

867
01:40:39.690 --> 01:40:40.590
Jim Robb: Speak you I will do.

868
01:40:41.190 --> 01:40:41.790
Nick Antonicello: It the right way.

869
01:40:42.780 --> 01:40:44.250
Jim Robb: Thank you guys.

870
01:40:44.280 --> 01:40:50.970
Mark Rago: I just had a quick question for lexi do we know what the CD considers the summer months just go to October or.

871
01:40:51.450 --> 01:41:05.070
alexandriayalj: it's generally prior to Memorial Day throughout Labor day and I mean we're talking small events is like an office that wants to host an event for like 20 of their.

872
01:41:06.360 --> 01:41:16.680
alexandriayalj: 20 of their employees to having a public kite flying festival like you know, like nothing we're not allowed to have anything.

873
01:41:18.810 --> 01:41:22.950
Jim Robb: All right, Brian wrap it up there we'll see if there's any public comment.

874
01:41:24.180 --> 01:41:37.800
Brian Averill: I just want to ask the next question is lexi Is your goal, just to open up dialogue with beaches in harper's and say hey this doesn't make a lot of sense can we just revisit this during the summer, we can be doing a lot of awesome stuff on the beach that you guys won't give us.

875
01:41:38.610 --> 01:41:48.690
alexandriayalj: yeah absolutely and I think we should make a point that you know we're thinking ahead for the Summer Olympics, I know we don't like talking about the Olympics here, but like yeah we should be.

876
01:41:50.280 --> 01:41:56.820
alexandriayalj: Looking at that and ways of how we can come to a meeting place what they need and whatnot.

877
01:41:57.240 --> 01:41:57.660
Brian Averill: gotcha.

878
01:41:57.690 --> 01:41:59.130
Jim Robb: All right, well you're up.

879
01:42:00.330 --> 01:42:01.140
Jim Robb: Here on view.

880
01:42:03.300 --> 01:42:04.140
Noel Johnston: I think that.

881
01:42:05.490 --> 01:42:12.750
Noel Johnston: I think this is a really interesting subject also, but I think right now that there is some some sort of.

882
01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:24.750
Noel Johnston: beaches in harbors our rule in existence that says over 17 people I don't know why this sticks in my head and I can look for it and beaches in harbors because.

883
01:42:25.110 --> 01:42:31.410
Noel Johnston: I i've been through this with beaches in harbors with Peter and his Venice peer project.

884
01:42:32.220 --> 01:42:47.220
Noel Johnston: trying to get events going and pipeline happened to be one of the things that Peter was interested in he had an event called kites and castles, for he had people come to fly kites and build sandcastles and it was a lot of fun and.

885
01:42:48.750 --> 01:42:50.670
Noel Johnston: We got shut down once for every Germany.

886
01:42:52.740 --> 01:43:05.130
Noel Johnston: But I, I think it would be really important to know the beaches in harbors rules about this before we continue this any further let's let's let's find out what's what's on the books and why.

887
01:43:07.440 --> 01:43:17.970
evelynsaro: And they their their hearts set against the rule but they're really easy to talk to them they're very nice and you know and Noel knows the same thing we went to a lot of meetings together over there and they're always.

888
01:43:18.510 --> 01:43:23.160
evelynsaro: very receptive and answering questions and stuff so just reach out to them and get a meeting going.

889
01:43:24.240 --> 01:43:25.410
Jim Robb: Alright, Jim here is.

890
01:43:25.620 --> 01:43:33.240
james murez: I just think we might also want to look at the contract between the city and the county because the county is in charge of city property.

891
01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:46.920
james murez: And it's actually city property and what does that contract state is allowed to occur on the county property, I mean how much control does the county actually have or are they just putting up stone walls, because that's what they do.

892
01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:59.730
alexandriayalj: It yes, a little bit of both so is the the differences you guys, is that the beach different beaches are owned and they're also operated by different entities and so.

893
01:44:00.240 --> 01:44:11.610
alexandriayalj: The beach is owned by the county but it's operated by beaches and harbors and this changes like mtr is different Santa Monica is different malibu's different all these other beaches are allowed.

894
01:44:12.210 --> 01:44:20.460
alexandriayalj: Have participation, we need to champion for Venice to approach the county to speak to beaches in harbor so i've.

895
01:44:20.670 --> 01:44:25.470
alexandriayalj: i've had these conversations with them over the course of seven years, and I want to get the ball rolling.

896
01:44:25.710 --> 01:44:40.860
alexandriayalj: Now, like here and get your input and support and i'm not really here with emotion Now I want to understand what that motion should say so it can succeed so i'm happy to talk to anyone afterwards, you don't necessarily have to push anything forward right now.

897
01:44:41.460 --> 01:44:42.840
Jim Robb: Thank you actually Sonia.

898
01:44:43.530 --> 01:44:47.460
Sonya Young Jimenez: i'd want to clarify, so the beach is owned by the city operated by the county to say.

899
01:44:49.200 --> 01:44:52.200
Jim Robb: Thank you, Sonia all right, Brian, what do you think.

900
01:44:53.160 --> 01:45:02.820
Brian Averill: I think that was a great discussion and if lexi's cool with it, I think we should withdraw whatever emotion was on the floor and write the smart motion and just you know mail, maybe next month.

901
01:45:03.450 --> 01:45:03.720
Oh.

902
01:45:05.580 --> 01:45:06.840
Brian Averill: cool let's see.

903
01:45:07.860 --> 01:45:12.210
alexandriayalj: Yes, thank you very much and i'd love to speak to anyone further at any other time, thank.

904
01:45:12.480 --> 01:45:15.090
james murez: lexi will you make a point to reach out to me, so we can.

905
01:45:15.360 --> 01:45:17.700
james murez: So I can start to get involved in here what's going on.

906
01:45:18.090 --> 01:45:18.780
alexandriayalj: You got it.

907
01:45:19.140 --> 01:45:19.560
james murez: Thank you.

908
01:45:19.620 --> 01:45:22.350
james murez: All right now email this change stop me or is it.

james murez: kind of cincy.org.

910
01:45:25.380 --> 01:45:31.440
Jim Robb: Well you're up the three this one this the last one, we might be getting out of here before nine if we move quick enough.

911
01:45:33.270 --> 01:45:35.910
Noel Johnston: A Jim can you read it, for me, please.

912
01:45:36.210 --> 01:45:37.650
Noel Johnston: Sure thanks.

913
01:45:37.800 --> 01:45:51.720
Jim Robb: Some ocean front walk extensive signage either eligible or outdated creates both confusion and unnecessary visual blight we're looking to put emotion together, do we have.

914
01:45:53.400 --> 01:45:53.670
Noel Johnston: I.

915
01:45:56.250 --> 01:45:57.480
Jim Robb: it's not emotion go ahead.

916
01:45:59.220 --> 01:46:09.420
Noel Johnston: um I think that Sonia addressed part of this early early on and and said that the beaches in parks, excuse me.

917
01:46:10.260 --> 01:46:24.660
Noel Johnston: reckon parks or trying to take down a lot of their redundant signage i'm i'm concerned and I sent Brian some pictures of this i'm concerned with some of the large stuff that the city has put up.

918
01:46:25.710 --> 01:46:35.940
Noel Johnston: Along the boardwalk and an old a bunch of old reckon park signs that are that are on the boardwalk I would say, most of these things are working parks and if.

919
01:46:36.240 --> 01:46:43.680
Noel Johnston: If Sonia is taking care of this i'd like I might like to withdraw this for the time being, since it seems like it's already being addressed.

920
01:46:44.460 --> 01:46:45.600
Jim Robb: Well let's ask Sonia.

921
01:46:47.850 --> 01:46:48.240
Sonya Young Jimenez: Yes.

922
01:46:49.260 --> 01:46:57.300
Sonya Young Jimenez: How you guys yeah no well you know we are addressing all the all the signs up on the light Poles, all the way down from Washington to navy.

923
01:46:57.630 --> 01:47:05.430
Sonya Young Jimenez: Those are with right now we're looking at also the sinews that's along the bike path that are kind of like full of stickers and all that stuff those are going to be all replaced.

924
01:47:05.940 --> 01:47:13.110
Sonya Young Jimenez: If you have any larger size i'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, but you can send me pictures and we will work on those as well, so we do have a sign shop and.

925
01:47:13.410 --> 01:47:23.460
Sonya Young Jimenez: We are working with the contractor to do all the work, so it kind of gets done fast so we're just working on maybe doing a melodies working on that, right now, creating one sign that kind of says everything, so we don't have like.

926
01:47:23.820 --> 01:47:34.590
Sonya Young Jimenez: don't you know no dogs off leash and no smoking no it'll just be like one nice sign instead of a bunch of all kinds of signs and a little higher so people can't sticker them up as easily so that's what we're working on right now.

927
01:47:35.910 --> 01:47:36.540
Jim Robb: So yeah.

928
01:47:37.260 --> 01:47:39.780

933
01:48:16.770 --> 01:48:19.740
