00:21:02.580 --> 00:21:03.180 Jody Mortimer: Okay. 228 00:21:03.300 --> 00:21:05.550 Lakesha Williams: And how about I just go right into. 229 00:21:06.750 --> 00:21:08.760 Lakesha Williams: The overview of the presentation. 230 00:21:08.820 --> 00:21:09.240 Lakesha Williams: Does that. 231 00:21:10.590 --> 00:21:11.220 that's fine. 232 00:21:13.830 --> 00:21:15.480 Lakesha Williams: And you can share with the group. 233 00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:18.840 Lakesha Williams: sounds good. 234 00:21:19.770 --> 00:21:20.820 Frank Murphy: yeah sounds good. 235 00:21:24.090 --> 00:21:24.540 Vicki Halliday: alright. 236 00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:34.800 Lakesha Williams: So let's go right into it so circle circle stands for crisis and incident response through Community lead engagement. 237 00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:55.350 Lakesha Williams: The circle is a pilot program to provide an alternative on our response to non emergency 911 calls involving people experiencing homelessness the primary goal for the circle pilot program is to reduce interactions between law enforcement and unhealthy angelenos. 238 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:04.680 Lakesha Williams: So let's go into a little bit of the program overview, so the program overview the pilot communities that we are now targeting. 239 00:22:05.610 --> 00:22:13.920 Lakesha Williams: Is in Hollywood and in Venice and you always Council district with this consists of is 24 seven crisis response teams. 240 00:22:14.550 --> 00:22:20.040 Lakesha Williams: Proactive embedded engaged, I mean i'm sorry, excuse me, proactive embedded response teams. 241 00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:33.450 Lakesha Williams: And a decompression Center so the decompression Center is currently on hold in the business but we had in the Venice area, but we do have the Hollywood decompression Center for operation in the Hollywood area. 242 00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:44.370 Lakesha Williams: And so here on my screen right here, you would see an overview of the business community, where the circle teams in the in the. 243 00:22:44.730 --> 00:22:53.700 Lakesha Williams: pipe i'm sorry the proactive embedded teams are in, and so what what i'm showing on my screen and what you all can see and you'll see later on when vicki shares a PowerPoint. 244 00:22:53.970 --> 00:23:01.350 Lakesha Williams: Is that is blocked off into red cylinders within the region of your of your area Council district, and when we determine. 245 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:14.550 Lakesha Williams: The reason why, then, is Community was determined, because when we did was we looked at police data and we looked at the areas where we're experienced, where we will lapd receives the most calls regarding the unhealthy population. 246 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:23.490 Lakesha Williams: And these are D stands reporter reporting districts in those are the areas that we chose to have the circle teams respond to. 247 00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:26.940 Lakesha Williams: And then, all my next slide, you will see the. 248 00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:28.320 Lakesha Williams: same assessment, the. 249 00:23:28.320 --> 00:23:47.970 Lakesha Williams: same breakdown for the Hollywood communities, the circle teams are not all there they're not covering the hall Hollywood region but they're they're covering serving RD districts where we were 911 communication receives a high volume of calls regarding people experiencing homelessness. 250 00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:59.310 Lakesha Williams: And just to go into the crisis response team, so the team and each pilot area are available 24 seven to respond to non emergency 911 calls that. 251 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:17.430 Lakesha Williams: involve the House these teams consists of three Members a licensed mental health or behavioral clinician and to outreach practitioners with live experience, and I want to, I want to drop a pin right there and just elaborate a little bit more about the lived experience component. 252 00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:27.900 Lakesha Williams: Urban alchemy is known to his as his non to hire folks and welcome folks on their team that have live experience, whether it's formally. 253 00:24:28.530 --> 00:24:37.020 Lakesha Williams: experiencing homelessness or incarcerated but they have live experience which we bank on because if you ever speak to the people that are out there. 254 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:45.360 Lakesha Williams: it's the rapport building that ultimately, you have that breakthrough and getting folks connected to the to do the homeless systems, I have a. 255 00:24:45.750 --> 00:24:52.140 Lakesha Williams: mantra slogan is that, first, they have to like you then they'll do business with you and then they'll work with you they'll trust you. 256 00:24:52.650 --> 00:25:04.140 Lakesha Williams: So these teams consistent to our reach practices will live experience in one licensed mental health or behavior health clinician to address other issues at the outreach practitioners can address this. 257 00:25:05.100 --> 00:25:06.810 Lakesha Williams: Right i'm sorry. 258 00:25:06.870 --> 00:25:08.250 Jody Mortimer: Before it goes up your support. 259 00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:12.270 Lakesha Williams: Those are peer support you can call again. 260 00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:29.280 Lakesha Williams: Your support, yes, and so the type of calls that are diverted to circle operators include well being checks lack of clothing lack of clothing Nord laundering or noise disturbance, so the circle teams will not respond to any calls that. 261 00:25:30.390 --> 00:25:39.450 Lakesha Williams: revolve around or any criminal elements, so they won't they won't respond to cause if someone a robbery or someone is using drugs. 262 00:25:40.260 --> 00:25:43.860 Lakesha Williams: If they go out to the cause and there's something that they need. 263 00:25:44.310 --> 00:25:51.780 Lakesha Williams: They can't handle that something that's they can't handle within their scope of work, then they will dispatch lapd to respond to those calls, or if they go out there. 264 00:25:52.050 --> 00:26:03.990 Lakesha Williams: And there's something additionally happening that's not in the scope of the work the things that they're not supposed to respond to, then they will call back the 911 communication division and lapd will be dispatch. 265 00:26:05.970 --> 00:26:15.300 Lakesha Williams: let's talk about the proactive embedded response teams now these teams are in areas of high needs within each pilot Community for eight hours a day, seven days a week. 266 00:26:16.050 --> 00:26:20.880 Lakesha Williams: These teams consists of two homeless outreach practitioners with live experience. 267 00:26:21.510 --> 00:26:38.940 Lakesha Williams: The teams are actively in these regions in these areas de escalating situations and provides this thing outreach making the necessary for girls doing light sanitation services and Kobe 19 prevention, education and connecting connection to testing and vaccination. 268 00:26:41.340 --> 00:26:41.940 Lakesha Williams: We go into. 269 00:26:42.750 --> 00:26:43.770 Jody Mortimer: cabinets correct. 270 00:26:44.190 --> 00:26:44.880 Lakesha Williams: i'm sorry. 271 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.830 Jody Mortimer: who's writing cabinets. 272 00:26:46.950 --> 00:26:57.540 Lakesha Williams: Yes, these are adding cat man sees your ad hotspots these are at locations within the RD that have been flagged to us as areas of concern. 273 00:26:58.770 --> 00:27:11.490 Lakesha Williams: The decompression Center my next slide it's a location in each pilot Community the decompression Center acts as a home base for circle teams it's a relaxing place where teams can bring individuals who need a break from the street. 274 00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:22.350 Lakesha Williams: Although I know this is not speaking of Venice that that one was on hold, but I can speak a little bit into what the Hollywood decompression Center look like. 275 00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:27.360 Lakesha Williams: it's when you walk in as the ambiance of water fountains. 276 00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:35.610 Lakesha Williams: You know, a place where they can come and relax where they can get a cold drink of water, where they can get a light snack where they can get clothing. 277 00:27:35.910 --> 00:27:39.420 Lakesha Williams: it's a way sometimes to bring people in from the element of the street. 278 00:27:39.750 --> 00:27:53.430 Lakesha Williams: And just sit down and say Look how can I help you with services, what happened to you what support do you need what case manager you work away with service provider you how can we get you connected to the system it's a place where we can bring folks back to the. 279 00:27:54.180 --> 00:28:00.210 Lakesha Williams: To save space and lead safe space and let them know that we care about them and we're here to serve them. 280 00:28:04.650 --> 00:28:21.030 Lakesha Williams: And so the last my last slide is just discussion about urban alchemy urban's alchemy mission is to transform people and communities at the intersection of extreme poverty addiction mental illness and homelessness through respect and compassion. 281 00:28:23.730 --> 00:28:31.500 Lakesha Williams: And that is the end of my presentation, I now will take any questions that you all have. 282 00:28:32.070 --> 00:28:39.270 Vicki Halliday: A T shirt I have a quick one on the decompression Center um since the one here, you know was contested because. 283 00:28:39.270 --> 00:28:40.920 Vicki Halliday: Of its proximity to a school. 284 00:28:41.790 --> 00:28:49.890 Vicki Halliday: Are any walk of services allowed or did they have does the client has to be brought in by urban alchemy. 285 00:28:50.790 --> 00:28:58.320 Lakesha Williams: Yes, no, no, no walk ups are allowed the client does have to be brought in by urban alchemy. 286 00:28:58.350 --> 00:29:12.720 Vicki Halliday: Okay, thank you you're welcome I do I I are there committee questions and then we'll take some from on the the audience if they have any get your hands up. 287 00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:16.500 Vicki Halliday: i'm pat Raphael go ahead. 288 00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:33.420 Pat Raphael: Yes, so it sounds to me like this would be what it looks like to execute that wrongly name defund the police approach where we're taking things off the hands of the police. 289 00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:34.710 Pat Raphael: That don't really. 290 00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:36.030 Pat Raphael: need a police. 291 00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:42.240 Pat Raphael: In in in the in the first intervention so. 292 00:29:43.590 --> 00:29:45.510 Pat Raphael: What what's what's happening. 293 00:29:46.710 --> 00:29:48.180 Pat Raphael: What has the mayor done. 294 00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:58.530 Pat Raphael: towards directing a whole bunch of the money, even though it wasn't named right, but I understand the money was already directed to outlets like this. 295 00:29:59.010 --> 00:30:11.280 Pat Raphael: i'm trying to figure out what has the mayor done through to kind of press this through in a way that follows up on some of these things that sounded like promises in number two. 296 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:28.770 Pat Raphael: How has it so far come up against the usual mindset of not wanting resources in communities where people feel like that's going to be too close or affecting them in a way that. 297 00:30:30.120 --> 00:30:32.130 Pat Raphael: That perhaps doesn't. 298 00:30:33.690 --> 00:30:34.860 Pat Raphael: It doesn't see the big picture. 299 00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:46.080 Pat Raphael: Is that is that any part of the challenges you're dealing with as far as trying to get the messaging out in in in following up on what seems like. 300 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:53.820 Pat Raphael: What it would look like if we actually went to a model where we took some of these calls away from the police. 301 00:30:55.440 --> 00:31:09.540 Che Ramirez: yeah I can add a little bit there the kesha i'll try to take that question and pieces let's see I think when I wanted to highlight the fact that circle is a pilot so you know, as with any pilot you know it's an opportunity to learn assess. 302 00:31:10.170 --> 00:31:14.130 Che Ramirez: grow and elevate, and so we definitely value the input from the Community from our partners. 303 00:31:14.670 --> 00:31:21.090 Che Ramirez: This is this pilot is also in partnership with lapd so we work closely with them who've been really supportive of this work. 304 00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:28.950 Che Ramirez: The call Center dynamic of working with the 911 call Center team, just so critical in terms of maybe making sure they're trained to understand. 305 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:36.720 Che Ramirez: What calls, or to be diverted and which ones are not and also add that this is this was a circle was a pilot that came out of. 306 00:31:37.230 --> 00:31:49.170 Che Ramirez: This year's fiscal year budget part of the mayor's justice budget, and so it was one of the many initiatives one of multiple and armed response pilots, so we have circle which is primarily focused on our in house community. 307 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:55.170 Che Ramirez: Typically, invest in Hollywood initially, we also have our therapeutic van pilot which focuses on mental. 308 00:31:55.170 --> 00:31:57.180 Jody Mortimer: Health response in partnership with the county. 309 00:31:57.510 --> 00:32:01.230 Che Ramirez: And the fire department that just launched also in January and that's. 310 00:32:01.590 --> 00:32:07.830 Che Ramirez: You know there's some intersection with the homeless population, but it also focuses on the broader population, and then we have the dd Hirsch. 311 00:32:08.280 --> 00:32:16.530 Che Ramirez: van response pilot, which is focused on more on like Suicide Prevention calls related to two cases and concerns around suicide so there's a lot of work going into. 312 00:32:16.950 --> 00:32:23.700 Che Ramirez: thinking a little differently and creatively, of how we supplement and complement the work of PD so that they can focus on the very. 313 00:32:24.300 --> 00:32:31.200 Che Ramirez: You know, urgent and emergency calls that they have to respond to and also thinking about how we just engage differently with our homeless population. 314 00:32:31.530 --> 00:32:44.430 Che Ramirez: and making sure we have folks with you know lived experience a certain level of emotional intelligence and training to de escalate situations and so there's potential to continue to grow and expand we actually got some. 315 00:32:45.510 --> 00:32:50.190 Che Ramirez: Recent investment or we were supposed to receive that we got news from a Ted lose office. 316 00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:59.550 Che Ramirez: That he also wants to expand a circle team and his 33rd district, which covers some parts of the West side so we're supposed to meet with his team next week to talk about that, so a lot of potential here. 317 00:33:00.030 --> 00:33:10.140 Che Ramirez: But it is in partnership with PD and PD does important work, but they also understand you know that on average annually PD gets about 140,000 calls related to homelessness. 318 00:33:11.190 --> 00:33:24.240 Che Ramirez: You know, and so this is also another way to to supplement that work so that PD can also focus on the more urgent calls that are also concerns with the Community so hope that helps if there was any follow up more than happy to provide some. 319 00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:26.910 Vicki Halliday: Ahead God. 320 00:33:28.110 --> 00:33:30.030 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, Mr ramirez or and. 321 00:33:31.290 --> 00:33:34.980 Jody Mortimer: i'm sorry the our first speaker speaker. 322 00:33:36.750 --> 00:33:48.570 Jody Mortimer: yeah can you explain again the process on the call so and so there's an individual say there's a homeless individual that has you know the during crisis. 323 00:33:49.020 --> 00:33:55.890 Jody Mortimer: Crisis meaning their pants are falling down or they're naked or something's wrong they are, and we know that they need medical attention. 324 00:33:56.700 --> 00:34:07.800 Jody Mortimer: Does that not go to the fire department or it goes to die one one and invite with the 911 operator from that tree does it go do they make the decision that it is non emergency that may be. 325 00:34:08.550 --> 00:34:09.510 Che Ramirez: The circle would make that. 326 00:34:09.810 --> 00:34:10.560 determination. 327 00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:19.920 Che Ramirez: yeah so I know, sometimes folks have called now they learn more about circle requesting the circle teams, but that decision is made by the the folks in lapd at the 911 call Center. 328 00:34:20.550 --> 00:34:26.820 Che Ramirez: Who will divert the call based on the information they get right so someone calls says, I have a concern somebody yelling at the top of their lungs are. 329 00:34:26.820 --> 00:34:31.680 Che Ramirez: Naked in the middle of street I think they need some support so that would be a type of call that they would revert to a. 330 00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:44.310 Che Ramirez: circle teams, now the circle team arrives, and the person has a weapon or there's a threatening situation, then they would say hey you know that's it's back off it's called PD This is something that's a little more concerning and alarming in terms of everyone's safety so. 331 00:34:46.680 --> 00:34:47.310 Jody Mortimer: They would they would. 332 00:34:47.730 --> 00:34:48.630 Jody Mortimer: That would be a circle. 333 00:34:50.160 --> 00:34:50.970 Che Ramirez: Correct correct. 334 00:34:51.210 --> 00:34:53.430 Che Ramirez: Okay, and so the goal, just to remind folks. 335 00:34:53.430 --> 00:35:02.970 Che Ramirez: To is like, not only is this a pilot, but also the goal is really to divert calls and so to track and see assess how that's happening, the frequency of that what type of calls we're getting. 336 00:35:03.570 --> 00:35:15.330 Che Ramirez: Non emergency calls in particular to de escalate situations, and then the third important piece of the goal is also to make appropriate referrals so they don't have the capacity to help somebody immediately that's obviously another. 337 00:35:15.750 --> 00:35:21.420 Che Ramirez: layer that we want to continue to maybe evolve and grow to have that capacity, maybe, as we evolve to super circle 2.0. 338 00:35:22.230 --> 00:35:31.680 Che Ramirez: But they make they make appropriate referrals so like if it's something that we need the image, for you know the city doesn't have mental health substance abuse detox bed infrastructure, we have to make that referral. 339 00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:37.200 Che Ramirez: Now, if that referrals and timely from the county obviously that's a concern, but we have access to hopefully continue to expedite that. 340 00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:44.640 Che Ramirez: And then, if it's you know housing related trying to get really focused on a stable path and where the decompression Center comes into play. 341 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:52.680 Che Ramirez: And Hollywood where we have that active, you know if you find that individual that's distressed in the middle of the street, you know yelling at the top of their lungs two in the morning. 342 00:35:52.950 --> 00:36:00.240 Che Ramirez: Well, the goal is like hey why don't you come into the decompression Center you know here get you a snag well you know there's there's a space, you can kind of risk for a couple hours. 343 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:14.250 Che Ramirez: kind of calmed individual down remove them from that environment which I think is better for everyone and then getting connected to the appropriate services and referrals that hopefully will help expedite a proper transition for that individual, so I hope that helps. 344 00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:16.080 Jody Mortimer: yeah Thank you. 345 00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:18.510 Vicki Halliday: um let's see Stan. 346 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:25.530 Ansar Muhammad: So thank you, Mr Williams, for the presentation, I have a few questions i'm going to speak. 347 00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:36.480 Ansar Muhammad: From the position of the Executive Director of the health Foundation, which is a local cbl been in business for 25 years providing Community based public service. 348 00:36:37.770 --> 00:36:46.680 Ansar Muhammad: Services around the gang issue, in some cases, the homeless issue, so the first question is how much money has been invested into Venice. 349 00:36:49.020 --> 00:36:59.610 Che Ramirez: as it relates to the circle program the pilot for one team is 1.5 million for the year, and so we have two teams one in Venice went to Hollywood so the budget was 3 million for those two teams. 350 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:05.670 Ansar Muhammad: And what what local CBS are you currently collaborating with from Venice. 351 00:37:08.970 --> 00:37:10.800 Che Ramirez: The key should do you want to give some more feedback. 352 00:37:12.870 --> 00:37:16.950 Lakesha Williams: i'm not at the moment no two meals at the moment. 353 00:37:16.950 --> 00:37:17.340 Yes. 354 00:37:19.080 --> 00:37:26.010 Lakesha Williams: Working with service providers, you know, in partnership the folks that are doing the work but there's no cto. 355 00:37:27.660 --> 00:37:36.090 Ansar Muhammad: Or you guys open to collaborate with local CEOs benefits already doing a level of service, similar to what you described in your presentation. 356 00:37:39.510 --> 00:37:43.050 Che Ramirez: yeah definitely I think there's always room for that conversation and partnership and. 357 00:37:43.050 --> 00:37:43.620 Che Ramirez: Obviously, like. 358 00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:50.550 Che Ramirez: As much as we're trying to lead in this space is we're also here to learn and connect with folks who have been integrated in these communities already before so. 359 00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:59.160 Ansar Muhammad: How many local business residents are you learn best currently working as lived experience outreach workers. 360 00:38:00.540 --> 00:38:09.480 Lakesha Williams: Yes, I can't speak to that I will defer to urban alchemy, we don't do the hiring for urban alchemy, the circle teams, they do it within their agency. 361 00:38:10.980 --> 00:38:14.820 Che Ramirez: And the reason why it could be that could be a lane to to also think about what. 362 00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:17.130 Che Ramirez: folks maybe would be good for this space yeah. 363 00:38:18.630 --> 00:38:30.330 Ansar Muhammad: i'm not speaking just for myself, I have a team of folks and these questions was presented to me this morning and the staff meeting, so I wanted to bring them before you are. 364 00:38:31.410 --> 00:38:38.490 Ansar Muhammad: But we have a team of people who is addition to the Community all of our folks born and raised out of Venice. 365 00:38:39.210 --> 00:38:48.090 Ansar Muhammad: of them have lived experience and was homeless so much time, some of them is for game, or some of them know exactly what to do and how to do it around these cabinets. 366 00:38:48.540 --> 00:38:56.100 Ansar Muhammad: And I find it very disturbing to a degree, Okay, that the mayor, you know we are the funded agency and the great Program. 367 00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:00.270 Ansar Muhammad: Okay, I don't know if you guys familiar with the grid the game, he doesn't need development. 368 00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:07.350 Ansar Muhammad: department does ended the mayor's office we funded agency for venison more business very. 369 00:39:07.770 --> 00:39:20.040 Ansar Muhammad: disheartening that no one reached out to so let's talk let's collaborate, what do you guys do and how you guys doing why you're doing and how you do so i'm just saying we need to have this conversation, because my folks is telling me. 370 00:39:20.670 --> 00:39:28.020 Ansar Muhammad: Can I get to be very honest and candid Elsa be given them a disservice that somebody is dropping the ball. 371 00:39:29.310 --> 00:39:42.120 Ansar Muhammad: Whether it be given out to me, whether it be the circle somebody is dropping the ball you guys might be doing some great work outstanding work, there is a gap and what I mean by that is, I had a friend. 372 00:39:43.140 --> 00:39:44.760 Ansar Muhammad: That passed away recently. 373 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:55.830 Ansar Muhammad: He was in a hotel Washington boulevard he got a hold of some bad drugs and he died in the streets and so. 374 00:39:56.700 --> 00:40:02.130 Ansar Muhammad: i'm speaking out of passion, because you have an agency has been in business for 25 years. 375 00:40:02.550 --> 00:40:09.840 Ansar Muhammad: That has been funded by the mayor's office to provide gang intervention and prevention services and now we've been with the homeless crisis and. 376 00:40:10.410 --> 00:40:16.800 Ansar Muhammad: wished out nobody said it was $1.5 million come into Venice moving like to collaborate with you guys, because we know. 377 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:34.950 Ansar Muhammad: That you guys have people that's indigenous to this community that can assist us in this effort so i'm hoping after tonight that I can get somebody phone them make contact with circle make contact with an alchemy, because these are two organizations that was flowing into Venice. 378 00:40:36.270 --> 00:40:41.370 Ansar Muhammad: Venice when we first started miss miss Williams 25 years ago we wouldn't even allow. 379 00:40:42.060 --> 00:40:50.220 Ansar Muhammad: We would have had a test, I never would have been having town hall meetings by now we're going to make sure that the politicians understood that there's people in Venice. 380 00:40:50.670 --> 00:41:02.190 Ansar Muhammad: that's born and raised has done a level work, and right now the work that we've been doing this, so you guys know we used to have real estate in Venice and just murders. 381 00:41:03.570 --> 00:41:14.760 Ansar Muhammad: Okay straight up nerves, and because of our work and law enforcement and others, we have not had any yellow tape and a couple of years, we have one of the biggest game boys between two. 382 00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:25.680 Ansar Muhammad: neighborhoods in Venice that have ever existed and a one mile radius and our agency is responsible for maintaining what we call the non aggression Raymond. 383 00:41:26.130 --> 00:41:43.350 Ansar Muhammad: As we speak, so i'm hoping that urban alchemy i'm hoping that circle and anyone else that is being funded to provide outreach services to homeless population that we get a phone call because some of our guys as any tense is gang involved. 384 00:41:44.370 --> 00:41:48.150 Ansar Muhammad: I just got another call yesterday with one of my guys this isn't like support. 385 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:49.740 Ansar Muhammad: That was. 386 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:57.960 Ansar Muhammad: Now he's on life support so i'm saying somebody and i'm not trying to hold the MIC frank, but i'm just saying somebody. 387 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:14.250 Ansar Muhammad: Is an office politics there were done within the stairs politics is nowhere in the world that the mayor is going to come into business or even our city council coming to Venice and we have a fun today just bonafide nobody reached out. 388 00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:29.070 Ansar Muhammad: So I just want to put that out there, Miss Williams let's talk, because we should be in collaboration i'm just going to give you the note that I gave me just as you were speaking I asked here's what I. 389 00:42:31.080 --> 00:42:32.400 Ansar Muhammad: And i'll be quiet on this, no. 390 00:42:34.020 --> 00:42:38.700 Ansar Muhammad: I said go it's a circle people being effective with the homeless issue in Venice. 391 00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:49.590 Ansar Muhammad: Now, this is a main factor, this is a guy who is dealing with Hampton street he's on the boardwalk he's all about a library. 392 00:42:51.060 --> 00:42:52.440 Ansar Muhammad: and his response was no. 393 00:42:54.390 --> 00:43:01.800 Ansar Muhammad: So how do I address that when I get off this call them responses no as a matter of fact that they live to me to fix the problem. 394 00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:05.610 Ansar Muhammad: It is not on the payroll he's on my payroll. 395 00:43:07.950 --> 00:43:15.960 Ansar Muhammad: So let's let's deal with this let's let's talk about this, because we have people that's really in need of employment. 396 00:43:16.710 --> 00:43:28.470 Ansar Muhammad: If you guys don't want to collaborate with the help of foundation fine please hire someone my people that's out there 24 seven I don't know where your people is coming from, but i'm The one thing when they off the clock, the, off the clock. 397 00:43:29.700 --> 00:43:33.870 Ansar Muhammad: I have a couple guys that direct another is on life support. 398 00:43:35.070 --> 00:43:44.670 Ansar Muhammad: So let's do this sentence, forgive me for my passion and may sound like a maybe but i'm not Okay, but I know one thing I guess people that need help. 399 00:43:45.540 --> 00:43:53.520 Ansar Muhammad: If $1.5 million is coming in the business and none of that test to help a foundation that's the problem, because there was a tax dollars right there. 400 00:43:55.620 --> 00:44:08.010 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you, Miss will use for listening, thank you, frank, for allowing me to space to talk and it's not anger, but it's passion and it's real deep when it comes to Venice this stuff runs for generations in my blood. 401 00:44:10.500 --> 00:44:18.360 Ansar Muhammad: My blood, so when I speak about this stuff when it comes to Venice, we got to do something different, and i'm not saying that it has to be to help a foundation. 402 00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:24.780 Ansar Muhammad: If there's another local CEOs out there, providing level of service that we're providing the best partner with them as well. 403 00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:39.330 Ansar Muhammad: But don't have a lip the CBS is grass root ID that's out there, doing a level of work already y'all have $1.5 million coming into our neighborhood and I asked my dice didn't hire they know he reaches out to you. 404 00:44:40.620 --> 00:44:43.080 Ansar Muhammad: know, nobody will notice that you brother mom. 405 00:44:43.890 --> 00:44:46.440 Ansar Muhammad: Alright, so thank you, thank you, frank from. 406 00:44:47.430 --> 00:44:52.980 Vicki Halliday: Our last committee comment is from Liz Liz go right ahead, thank you. 407 00:44:55.530 --> 00:44:58.050 Elizabeth Wright: Thank you i'm so glad you could be here this evening. 408 00:44:59.460 --> 00:45:07.620 Elizabeth Wright: You mentioned a number of times that this is a pilot how long is the pilot going to last and how do you know if it's successful. 409 00:45:10.170 --> 00:45:15.780 Che Ramirez: yeah the pilot will run into the end of this fiscal year, so the end of June, and then we are currently. 410 00:45:16.170 --> 00:45:24.420 Che Ramirez: reflecting on ways that we could continue the pilot and the existing communities, potentially, as well as expand it to other communities and go from pilot to Program. 411 00:45:24.720 --> 00:45:34.500 Che Ramirez: So you know the program is now kind of fully operational as of January we're also trying to be out more frequently and connecting with folks like yourselves to take an input and feedback. 412 00:45:35.370 --> 00:45:42.990 Che Ramirez: And you know if it's helpful, we can come back and continue to kind of share some of the data of what we're learning through the process in terms of the type of calls that we're getting. 413 00:45:43.470 --> 00:45:53.310 Che Ramirez: Some of the responses, some of the opportunities to continue to grow and expand the footprint, as well as built with some of our Community partners that are already embedded in these communities, so I think there's a lot of potential as we look. 414 00:45:53.700 --> 00:46:02.850 Che Ramirez: into next fiscal year and in July from there, moving forward and so would love to continue the conversation and come back and share a little bit about what we're learning through the process. 415 00:46:03.690 --> 00:46:06.090 Vicki Halliday: Right, thank you and we have. 416 00:46:07.410 --> 00:46:07.980 Vicki Halliday: jodi. 417 00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:10.770 Jody Mortimer: Yes, please Thank you um. 418 00:46:12.390 --> 00:46:18.240 Jody Mortimer: Are you at all involved in the new California care courts are where you be in the future. 419 00:46:20.580 --> 00:46:28.530 Che Ramirez: yeah that's still kind of some broad strokes there that are evolving with that conversation recently, you know the mayor did support kind of the the kind of initial framework. 420 00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.610 Che Ramirez: You know that's going to be more closely linked to the county's role. 421 00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:44.970 Che Ramirez: In that space, as opposed to the city's role, but you know I think one of the things right now that's kind of pending is the need for resources to come along with that, right now, there's only admin dollars that are being committed, and I think you know the guys are probably going to. 422 00:46:44.970 --> 00:46:46.200 Pat Raphael: need some programmatic dollars. 423 00:46:46.680 --> 00:46:50.940 Pat Raphael: was kind of gloss over because then took a little while to. 424 00:46:51.540 --> 00:46:52.290 Pat Raphael: express it. 425 00:46:52.770 --> 00:47:01.800 Pat Raphael: Is there any follow up on what he was mentioning about the flow of how this ended up going the way it went. 426 00:47:05.220 --> 00:47:06.780 Che Ramirez: Are you talking about the care courts or. 427 00:47:09.150 --> 00:47:21.660 Pat Raphael: No i'm saying in general, everything that stands said, should be the opportunity for you to folks from the mayor's office to now communicate back to the. 428 00:47:23.610 --> 00:47:40.080 Pat Raphael: To the Community, so I was just imagining that if there were a couple points in what he said that even warranted a response is it's a form that we can at least a year what what's the idea, and what what was said. 429 00:47:41.730 --> 00:47:48.240 Che Ramirez: Oh sure yeah definitely welcome the opportunity to have a conversation, and I know we can only cover so much and the time we have today so. 430 00:47:48.690 --> 00:47:53.580 Che Ramirez: would love to share my email, you can reach out to us, we can have a deeper dive continue the conversation. 431 00:47:54.330 --> 00:48:05.160 Che Ramirez: About circle and the potential there, and obviously partnership, and what that looks like and i'll just say there was an rfp process that was public for any providers that were interested in getting involved in. 432 00:48:05.160 --> 00:48:09.000 Che Ramirez: circle through that process we ended up selecting urban alchemy. 433 00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:17.190 Che Ramirez: We did work with St Joseph Center initially and a lot of critical work in Venice and so we're kind of leaning on them for some other input and feedback into space. 434 00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:28.890 Che Ramirez: And you know that's where we're at this is a pilot it's still new it's still an opportunity to grow and expand from pilot to program so definitely welcome the opportunity to to you know have more conversations outside of this call. 435 00:48:30.570 --> 00:48:30.720 Vicki Halliday: and 436 00:48:33.270 --> 00:48:35.250 Frank Murphy: we've got public yeah. 437 00:48:36.240 --> 00:48:38.130 Vicki Halliday: There are four people with their hands up. 438 00:48:39.300 --> 00:48:52.350 Vicki Halliday: Five last person to speak will be Lisa redmond i'm not going to put a timer up, I would ask you guys to keep it to about a minute, if you could so first one up is Ryan T. 439 00:48:58.650 --> 00:48:59.640 Vicki Halliday: And there you go Ryan. 440 00:49:03.990 --> 00:49:04.680 Vicki Halliday: Ryan. 441 00:49:05.970 --> 00:49:06.840 Ryan T: Can you hear me now. 442 00:49:07.740 --> 00:49:11.370 Vicki Halliday: it's so far away Okay, let me see if I. 443 00:49:11.430 --> 00:49:12.270 Ryan T: Can you hear me better. 444 00:49:12.510 --> 00:49:13.680 Vicki Halliday: Much better Thank you. 445 00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:18.480 Ryan T: Okay, so I just have one one question, but let me. 446 00:49:20.040 --> 00:49:39.150 Ryan T: resonate what ansari believe his name is was saying, because I am close contacts with multiple people that live right outside the circle headquarters they sleep in cars out there it's not safe, and you know there's this is 24 seven and I didn't know was. 447 00:49:40.560 --> 00:49:44.160 Ryan T: You know there's employees that are definitely taking time off the clock. 448 00:49:44.490 --> 00:49:45.150 Ryan T: to hang out. 449 00:49:46.380 --> 00:49:57.090 Ryan T: and not a good look for other folks like myself who are trying to help these people get into services when they can go party with the other guys that might help them get in services. 450 00:49:58.020 --> 00:50:11.460 Ryan T: So you know I know that that's an execution problem, not necessarily a policy problem but it's something that you guys should be aware of, I also wonder in Hollywood how many people are camping outside the decompression Center and in Venice. 451 00:50:12.030 --> 00:50:17.130 Ryan T: Make sure that we have a safe place for these people to know where they're not surrounded by. 452 00:50:19.200 --> 00:50:28.500 Ryan T: Different people living in cars doing, who knows what in those cars, so you know I understand you guys said multiple times decompression Center doesn't exist in Venice. 453 00:50:28.950 --> 00:50:48.870 Ryan T: We need a clean area for that to exist, first, so my real question is, what does success look like for this pilot program I mean if it's just tracking calls sounds like we have that data today of 140,000 calls so what's the exit strategy or or how does urban alchemy and circle when. 454 00:50:50.580 --> 00:50:52.470 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, thank you Ryan. 455 00:50:54.060 --> 00:51:00.150 Che Ramirez: yeah I mean I was out there yesterday at with Mr senior Center there were no encampments President, other than one gentleman. 456 00:51:00.450 --> 00:51:05.790 Che Ramirez: On the foreign next to the dog park side there was one vehicle dwelling I know that was a bit of a presence. 457 00:51:06.210 --> 00:51:11.520 Che Ramirez: Early on, when there were some mobilization potentially have a winter shelter, which I believe the Council office change direction on. 458 00:51:12.240 --> 00:51:18.540 Che Ramirez: You know they do cover that area, the embedded teams and if there's need and making referrals to folks who are open and receptive to those options. 459 00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:25.620 Che Ramirez: Obviously that's a challenge that's not unique to that Community and obviously city wide working with folks and vehicles and vehicles rollins is another. 460 00:51:26.220 --> 00:51:34.140 Che Ramirez: layer that, obviously, we need to continue to focus on on how to find the best options and opportunities for those individuals that have helped and walk a stable path. 461 00:51:35.040 --> 00:51:45.330 Che Ramirez: I will say, as far as you know, the goal of circle i'll just reiterate was one to divert calls from 911911 calls that were non emergency related to homelessness. 462 00:51:46.080 --> 00:51:54.030 Che Ramirez: To to de escalate situations and engage unhealthy individuals in the Community and then three to make appropriate referrals. 463 00:51:54.660 --> 00:52:04.980 Che Ramirez: So, as they encounter folks who may need a referral to D mh they make that referral, they need a referral to Lhasa for housing opportunities they make that referral and so through the process are also learning more about. 464 00:52:06.090 --> 00:52:10.470 Che Ramirez: You know other partners that are in this space so like St Joseph Center has been working with us to also. 465 00:52:11.190 --> 00:52:15.360 Che Ramirez: provide opportunities that they provide that we can make you know referrals to them and their teams as well. 466 00:52:16.140 --> 00:52:27.300 Che Ramirez: But yeah this is, you know pilot mode with the opportunity to grow into a program to to hopefully address some of the other things that circle can be as, as we have that conversation and go through this this pilot period. 467 00:52:27.990 --> 00:52:28.710 Frank Murphy: Thank you okay. 468 00:52:30.090 --> 00:52:34.170 Vicki Halliday: um next up darryl Defense darryl. 469 00:52:37.830 --> 00:52:39.180 Darryl DuFay: I unmuted myself. 470 00:52:39.390 --> 00:52:40.080 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. 471 00:52:41.370 --> 00:52:45.060 Darryl DuFay: I one question I followed this thing for last five years. 472 00:52:46.320 --> 00:53:04.530 Darryl DuFay: Who is doing an ongoing independent evaluation of this program independent from all of the people and I listened to you, I understand, but every program after program after program is failed. 473 00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:30.060 Darryl DuFay: Lhasa is under investigation by the City Council and it when when you describe 100,000 something or other I say Lord, how are you going to do it, and then I understand that's a pilot program and then you're going to do that, but until the city decides them the county that they need a. 474 00:53:31.170 --> 00:53:44.250 Darryl DuFay: A core of people that are evaluating new programs and can then say to the public, look they did this, they did this, and this is how how effective was. 475 00:53:44.850 --> 00:53:56.310 Darryl DuFay: Or, and just as a sideline we just were notified about this proposed agreement for an la alliance and the city to spend $3 billion. 476 00:53:57.180 --> 00:54:06.000 Darryl DuFay: and find out that the case was supposed to be city council and the county and at the federal buildings walked out on the Program. 477 00:54:06.870 --> 00:54:26.820 Darryl DuFay: And then, when they tell you it's going to accommodate supposedly 60% only of the sheltered in each of the Council, districts so i'm i'm i'm frustrated I so like to listen to what Stan had to say, because I, I feel for him. 478 00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.560 Darryl DuFay: But I i'm finished them with asking my question, thank you. 479 00:54:32.070 --> 00:54:32.790 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Carol. 480 00:54:32.910 --> 00:54:34.170 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you for your support. 481 00:54:35.460 --> 00:54:41.100 Che Ramirez: yeah let me see if I can impact that a little bit valley alliance case just to give some clarity, there are some questions. 482 00:54:42.150 --> 00:54:47.730 Che Ramirez: You know that settlement, agreement was reached between the plaintiffs in the city on Friday, there was an announcement about it. 483 00:54:48.180 --> 00:54:56.190 Che Ramirez: The county was not party to that, so the county will continue to work with the plaintiffs on their own settlement agreement it's unfortunate because, obviously, we need the county. 484 00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:05.640 Che Ramirez: To provide you know appropriate shelter options and services for higher acuity individuals who struggle with mental illness and substance abuse challenges. 485 00:55:06.450 --> 00:55:12.000 Che Ramirez: we'll see how that evolves may very well end up being you know the the judge setting the trial date and it'll go to trial and. 486 00:55:12.330 --> 00:55:18.480 Che Ramirez: kind of see how that plays out, but our commitment, and right now it's just broad strokes so it's really a kind of the term. 487 00:55:18.870 --> 00:55:26.160 Che Ramirez: The terms of the agreement will evolve to an official agreement over the next few weeks once that's finalized that will sit kind of a baseline and parameter. 488 00:55:26.910 --> 00:55:31.860 Che Ramirez: For what the city is committing to doing, which is you know, the proposal is that. 489 00:55:32.310 --> 00:55:37.590 Che Ramirez: The city would focus on the folks that they have the capacity to provide appropriate shelter and services for. 490 00:55:37.980 --> 00:55:47.970 Che Ramirez: And really direct and refer those with severe mental health illness and substance abuse challenges to the county because the county at the end of the day, has the public health department has the mental health department. 491 00:55:48.990 --> 00:56:02.190 Che Ramirez: You know, and while they've ramped up, I think you know services related to service and outreach and education we haven't seen the appropriate amount of beds come online that's necessary to provide folks with the with the best option at least those that are higher acuity so. 492 00:56:02.580 --> 00:56:10.980 Che Ramirez: there's some things that, overall, there over the next few weeks that you know, hopefully we'll have more clarity about the fine details as far as evaluation team will yeah. 493 00:56:12.300 --> 00:56:18.870 Frank Murphy: We want to kind of keep it down to a few comments on your T shirt do you have any comments on that. 494 00:56:21.660 --> 00:56:22.620 Lakesha Williams: No, I don't. 495 00:56:22.950 --> 00:56:23.370 Okay. 496 00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:26.070 Vicki Halliday: Go ahead break. 497 00:56:27.240 --> 00:56:28.260 Frank Murphy: No go ahead and move. 498 00:56:29.220 --> 00:56:33.150 Vicki Halliday: On next person is Julie s. 499 00:56:37.590 --> 00:56:38.340 Vicki Halliday: Go ahead Julie. 500 00:56:38.850 --> 00:56:39.840 Juli S: hello, can you hear me. 501 00:56:40.110 --> 00:56:47.220 Juli S: Yes, okay great, thank you for letting me allowing me to answer Question and stand, thank you for your hard work and Venice it's. 502 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:49.500 Juli S: really appreciated and. 503 00:56:49.650 --> 00:56:55.860 Juli S: I wanted to know what is the qualifications of the people that are working in these decompression centers. 504 00:56:56.220 --> 00:57:12.810 Juli S: for dealing with mental health and substance abuse disorders, is a decompression Center somewhere for them to go get sober is that qualification there and I bring that up because there is a new Center in orange county called be well. 505 00:57:13.200 --> 00:57:18.300 Juli S: Where they're sending if the police get a call for someone who's got mental. 506 00:57:19.140 --> 00:57:26.400 Juli S: health issues or substance abuse issues they don't go to jail anymore, they go to be well were there, they have psychiatrists and doctors. 507 00:57:26.730 --> 00:57:36.060 Juli S: able to take those people in and then transfer them where they need to go afterwards, so I just I worry about these decompression centers. 508 00:57:36.270 --> 00:57:48.120 Juli S: That they're just going to become another tent city and where people can go in get some free food and go right back out to the street, because we're not we have a city council person that will not clean up the streets. 509 00:57:50.040 --> 00:57:50.820 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Julie. 510 00:57:51.690 --> 00:57:55.470 Che Ramirez: Thank you, so you would have provide some comments there about what the decompression Center is in isn't. 511 00:57:55.980 --> 00:58:04.530 Lakesha Williams: yeah so the decompression is a decompression Center a place where folks can come and decompress what it isn't, it is not a sobering Center. 512 00:58:05.430 --> 00:58:12.240 Lakesha Williams: You spoke about you the question you asked about where the folks the mental health and the behavior clinicians are license. 513 00:58:12.990 --> 00:58:20.670 Lakesha Williams: But they are not equipped to deal with so bring you know they're not experts on sober and Center they don't have that that type of license. 514 00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:33.750 Lakesha Williams: If that is needed an SS that out in the field, then they'll make the appropriate phone call whether it's to exodus or try to find somewhere where there's a substance abuse in or sobering Center and make the unnecessary referral. 515 00:58:38.040 --> 00:58:38.550 Frank Murphy: occasion. 516 00:58:38.820 --> 00:58:50.460 Lakesha Williams: I there was another question to someone asked was how many tents outside of the Hollywood decompression Center there is no tins camped out alongside the Hollywood decompression Center. 517 00:58:53.820 --> 00:58:54.240 Vicki Halliday: Okay. 518 00:58:55.620 --> 00:58:55.860 Vicki Halliday: Sorry. 519 00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:57.750 Frank Murphy: No go ahead. 520 00:58:58.080 --> 00:59:01.620 Vicki Halliday: um next up is shauna Brian Sean go ahead. 521 00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:04.890 Sean obrien: Oh yeah. 522 00:59:06.600 --> 00:59:08.460 Sean obrien: 2015 said he. 523 00:59:09.720 --> 00:59:28.230 Sean obrien: Put a state of emergency on this crisis, and here we are in 2022 and i'm still hearing pilot programs i'm still here in broad strokes i'm still hearing all we're learning as we go Oh, I heard somebody from on the committee earlier, I think it was Stan Mohammed. 524 00:59:29.310 --> 00:59:35.250 Sean obrien: he's got a foundation that's already embedded in Venice and has a proven track record. 525 00:59:36.630 --> 00:59:46.680 Sean obrien: I don't understand this whole circle approach and how it's being funded and the amount of money that's being thrown at it i'm. 526 00:59:47.430 --> 00:59:59.700 Sean obrien: i'm a little disappointed with with the with the presentation today on that now, I have met quite a few of the circle TEAM members and i've chatted with them, they all seem to be very nice people. 527 01:00:00.510 --> 01:00:21.330 Sean obrien: i'm not too keen on their qualifications they all seem very young, they might have lived experience, but in my sense they don't have life experience they were very young and they were from out of out of area, so they were still learning, then, as they were still learning their job. 528 01:00:22.830 --> 01:00:23.400 Sean obrien: So. 529 01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:32.820 Sean obrien: i'm a little suspect on the people who are on these teams and how effective they will be, I heard a lot of dancing around on the mets. 530 01:00:32.820 --> 01:00:33.810 Vicki Halliday: wrapping up cheering. 531 01:00:34.050 --> 01:00:35.580 Sean obrien: Thinking I got almost finished. 532 01:00:35.940 --> 01:00:47.640 Sean obrien: Okay, I bought a little disappointed on hearing about the metrics of success on this just sounds like more reports more pencil pushing and nothing getting done and I hope that you can address all these questions, thank you. 533 01:00:49.590 --> 01:00:50.220 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Sean. 534 01:00:54.660 --> 01:00:55.830 Che Ramirez: yeah I mean like I said. 535 01:00:55.890 --> 01:01:00.540 Che Ramirez: circle, this is a we're in a space now where this is a pilot we're looking to learn from the Program. 536 01:01:00.870 --> 01:01:08.070 Che Ramirez: But the team's themselves and the folks that are staffed on the teams they've been at least the embedded teams actually were on the ground, since July of last year. 537 01:01:08.730 --> 01:01:13.830 Che Ramirez: We initially had a first emergency phase, because Kobe was still very active with the surge last summer. 538 01:01:14.220 --> 01:01:23.580 Che Ramirez: And their focus was really primarily at that time to focus on a covert response so testing vaccinations education awareness de escalation are can. 539 01:01:24.330 --> 01:01:35.520 Che Ramirez: You know, they did a lot of work, building some reporting the Community for the space in the area that they were going to cover for circle once it was fully ready to go, which you know was was it we were in that space of late January this year. 540 01:01:36.450 --> 01:01:47.070 Che Ramirez: And the folks go through an intense amount of training, as it relates to to their work and scope of work, some of some of them actually have come also from other providers that have worked in this space before. 541 01:01:48.270 --> 01:01:51.060 Che Ramirez: And so you know a lot goes into preparing them for this work in. 542 01:01:51.060 --> 01:01:54.990 Che Ramirez: The field and our team is very hands on and involved in the weeds with this. 543 01:01:55.440 --> 01:02:06.480 Che Ramirez: pilot initiative and my team is very diverse and representative of diverse professional and personal backgrounds, which I think is critical for this work when we're talking about an open house Community that's very diverse itself so. 544 01:02:08.070 --> 01:02:21.030 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Shay um Lisa redmond which we've got two more hands up um which we will take, but let's try and make it brief guys, thank you very much Lisa go ahead, please. 545 01:02:23.160 --> 01:02:29.040 Lisa Redmond: yeah thanks Liz for asking the exact questions I wanted to ask and frank i'm really disappointed that you cut off. 546 01:02:29.490 --> 01:02:38.190 Lisa Redmond: Mr ramirez when he was answering a question but allowed you know, Mr Mohammed to go on excessively but he grandstanding but. 547 01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:46.110 Lisa Redmond: i'm I want to make some Community observations that you said you were open to one, I know that your. 548 01:02:46.680 --> 01:02:55.740 Lisa Redmond: Service area for Venice was based on police reports, but it was based on police reports from two years ago, which then had a very, very active. 549 01:02:56.700 --> 01:03:06.300 Lisa Redmond: encampment along rose avenue in the pen mar golf course and that doesn't exist today, but yet now your service area covers that area of East Venice but. 550 01:03:07.200 --> 01:03:14.520 Lisa Redmond: doesn't cover the entire boardwalk or the Washington square area where there is a lot of you know need for. 551 01:03:15.420 --> 01:03:25.770 Lisa Redmond: Mental health de escalation, so I would hope that you would reconsider your mapping based on to what is actually happening on the ground and Venice, as opposed to what happened two years ago. 552 01:03:26.640 --> 01:03:43.200 Lisa Redmond: And then the other observation I have is it's really unfortunate that the circle team isn't there at planned sanitation sweeps because that's oftentimes where there are automatically unexpected. 553 01:03:44.700 --> 01:03:48.510 Lisa Redmond: Mental health breakdowns and a need to have someone. 554 01:03:49.650 --> 01:03:53.760 Lisa Redmond: Talk to and de escalate, as opposed to the police that are already there. 555 01:03:54.240 --> 01:04:03.960 Lisa Redmond: So I tried to talk to the circle team about that, and they seemed like they wanted no part of anything to do with the sweeps because it almost felt like that. 556 01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:10.950 Lisa Redmond: would associate them with something bad, but yet at the same time, these are guaranteed issues of where. 557 01:04:11.310 --> 01:04:21.990 Lisa Redmond: You know, mental health crisis is exist and are most likely going to happen, so I would hope that maybe you would reconsider that kind of action with the circle team that's all thank you. 558 01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:23.160 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Lisa. 559 01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:26.610 Vicki Halliday: Next up system beckman go ahead. 560 01:04:30.300 --> 01:04:45.330 susan beckman: I must just very reactive to your excellent description of your fiscal year is your 1.5 million need to be spent by the end of this June your fiscal year. 561 01:04:48.690 --> 01:04:51.480 Che Ramirez: Is that is the 12 month period for fiscal years with the city. 562 01:04:52.620 --> 01:04:59.940 susan beckman: So you started with your money six in last the middle of last year in July of last year. 563 01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:02.340 Che Ramirez: Correct. 564 01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:08.100 susan beckman: And you've been on the ground in Venice all that time. 565 01:05:08.520 --> 01:05:09.360 Che Ramirez: Venice in Hollywood. 566 01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:14.160 Vicki Halliday: Okay, thank you, so thank you. 567 01:05:15.750 --> 01:05:19.410 Vicki Halliday: And last speaker cj cold cj go ahead. 568 01:05:21.540 -->

have a lot of people waiting in the audience and the motion. 595 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:32.760 I agree. 596 01:07:34.350 --> 01:07:40.590 Frank Murphy: If his name is in there let's make sure you get a chance to talk when Mr Roberts been done with the as. 597 01:07:40.710 --> 01:07:42.420 Frank Murphy: As a fall anyhow. 598 01:07:43.140 --> 01:07:45.240 Pat Raphael: So we have a limited amount of time. 599 01:07:47.970 --> 01:07:52.680 Pat Raphael: As number eight we seem to just be glossing over it, as if that wasn't on the agenda. 600 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:54.090 Frank Murphy: well. 601 01:07:57.090 --> 01:08:01.740 Frank Murphy: We didn't have any notification of anybody that was going to be on that spot. 602 01:08:02.160 --> 01:08:03.750 Pat Raphael: I thought God was about to check. 603 01:08:03.750 --> 01:08:05.220 Pat Raphael: To see if he was there. 604 01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:08.580 Pat Raphael: A chance to speak. 605 01:08:10.110 --> 01:08:11.130 Pat Raphael: to gloss over it, since. 606 01:08:11.130 --> 01:08:12.180 Frank Murphy: it's while we hadn't. 607 01:08:14.430 --> 01:08:16.800 Frank Murphy: We hadn't seen him there pat That was my point. 608 01:08:19.710 --> 01:08:22.650 Jody Mortimer: I have somebody call on them now, to see if he's available and i'll. 609 01:08:22.650 --> 01:08:24.210 Vicki Halliday: Just taking a break, then. 610 01:08:42.330 --> 01:08:52.290 Pat Raphael: I guess all i'm saying is, we had an opportunity earlier to save the strike number nine off the agenda and we didn't so let's play it out. 611 01:08:53.070 --> 01:08:55.500 Frank Murphy: I had no I didn't I wasn't aware of that. 612 01:08:56.580 --> 01:09:05.130 Pat Raphael: I know, like in the beginning, when we agreed to the agenda when we all agreed, and there was no motion to not get any item like. 613 01:09:05.280 --> 01:09:06.090 Jody Mortimer: Just thought that. 614 01:09:06.630 --> 01:09:06.930 We just. 615 01:09:08.550 --> 01:09:09.360 Frank Murphy: We really. 616 01:09:09.390 --> 01:09:11.460 Frank Murphy: We really gotta move on, because we're. 617 01:09:12.330 --> 01:09:12.810 Pat Raphael: Not here. 618 01:09:14.730 --> 01:09:15.240 Pat Raphael: To get. 619 01:09:15.330 --> 01:09:15.630 yeah. 620 01:09:17.550 --> 01:09:22.980 Jody Mortimer: Just thought it was a Facebook meeting not not as so I pushed into next week or next month. 621 01:09:24.180 --> 01:09:24.660 Vicki Halliday: thinking. 622 01:09:25.200 --> 01:09:25.740 Okay. 623 01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:32.130 Frank Murphy: So God, you are going to introduce Daniel and and. 624 01:09:34.140 --> 01:09:34.620 Frank Murphy: and 625 01:09:36.030 --> 01:09:36.930 Frank Murphy: Daniel will. 626 01:09:38.940 --> 01:09:43.110 Frank Murphy: Get the presentation from you and some Q amp a from the committee. 627 01:09:43.980 --> 01:09:50.700 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, frank i'd like to introduce our next speaker for the before the committee his name is Daniel hubbard. 628 01:09:51.570 --> 01:10:10.170 Jody Mortimer: he's from the oasis network and they do really great work down on the boardwalk and rose feeding the homeless, on the weekends on Saturdays and Sundays and I invited him to come speak before the committee and he must graciously said yes So there you go it's i'm handing it to you again. 629 01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:25.710 Daniel Hubbard: Okay, can you hear me. 630 01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:27.960 Jody Mortimer: yeah we got to Dan. 631 01:10:28.110 --> 01:10:35.880 Daniel Hubbard: All right, great first of all, I just want to thank you all for giving me opportunity to speak and what i've heard so far I am impressed and. 632 01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:50.460 Daniel Hubbard: i'd like to make a quick comment as to it does take a community and everybody's bringing their talents and their of course there's going to be frustration are always going to be frustration it never seems like it's getting done fast enough. 633 01:10:51.630 --> 01:10:58.500 Daniel Hubbard: But the fact of the matter is, as a community, we all need to work within the parameters of our abilities and. 634 01:10:59.820 --> 01:11:02.820 Daniel Hubbard: You know, work with each other so. 635 01:11:04.410 --> 01:11:16.770 Daniel Hubbard: Real quick I just what we do, we are oasis network we have been active in Venice for almost 20 years it'll be 20 years next year, although we're based in Redondo. 636 01:11:18.300 --> 01:11:20.520 Daniel Hubbard: And I want to say that. 637 01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:30.030 Daniel Hubbard: I believe what we bring to it is what a necessary component of relationship building amongst these people. 638 01:11:31.290 --> 01:11:41.610 Daniel Hubbard: i've been active in outreach for more than 30 years building houses and doing ministry in Mexico as well, and what I found. 639 01:11:42.630 --> 01:11:46.560 Daniel Hubbard: That was productive down there was to get the individuals involved. 640 01:11:47.910 --> 01:11:49.680 Daniel Hubbard: In their own. 641 01:11:51.030 --> 01:11:53.340 Daniel Hubbard: You know, coming out of their issue. 642 01:11:54.780 --> 01:12:13.140 Daniel Hubbard: So I always give here to these homeless, I think it's it's an integral part of you're gonna if you're going to move them out of poverty, they got to feel as if they're being respected and and heard so if anybody left area as a few people. 643 01:12:16.050 --> 01:12:17.040 Daniel Hubbard: I would like to say. 644 01:12:18.390 --> 01:12:18.870 Daniel Hubbard: That. 645 01:12:21.360 --> 01:12:24.240 Daniel Hubbard: I think an important part of this, and I did here at mentioned. 646 01:12:25.410 --> 01:12:30.750 Daniel Hubbard: Maybe briefly, it was hit on what would be a jobs program something that's been on my heart for a long, long time. 647 01:12:31.980 --> 01:12:33.300 Daniel Hubbard: What I would like to do is. 648 01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:43.830 Daniel Hubbard: intermediate jobs where they can come in and not have a hard line schedule, but one of the things i've been proposing and trying to. 649 01:12:45.090 --> 01:12:57.900 Daniel Hubbard: start for some time would be a brush abatement program where we could take crews and actually a bait the brush around houses that would potentially suffer fire damage. 650 01:12:58.620 --> 01:13:16.140 Daniel Hubbard: and fire season, and I think this would also go lend to the you know, helping them to feel like they are a contributing part of the Community, and I think it would change their outlet, overall, to a great deal. 651 01:13:17.370 --> 01:13:17.700 Daniel Hubbard: But. 652 01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:24.300 Daniel Hubbard: Currently, we are just we're we are active through the weekend Redondo, so we did this every day. 653 01:13:25.350 --> 01:13:30.600 Daniel Hubbard: we're still going to Mexico and working with extremely poor in Mexico, which. 654 01:13:31.650 --> 01:13:42.150 Daniel Hubbard: gives you a whole nother perspective as to just how bad things can be as bad as they might seem here they're nothing like what we see in in Mexico. 655 01:13:43.650 --> 01:13:46.920 Daniel Hubbard: So you know take part in that and. 656 01:13:47.940 --> 01:14:07.680 Daniel Hubbard: Again, the people that i'm hearing i'm i'm encouraged I you know I even the people that are not, you know as happy, I understand the frustration and I, you know you get attacked from various people, you will always have people who are naysayers. 657 01:14:08.730 --> 01:14:12.390 Daniel Hubbard: But you know we bring each person brings a unique. 658 01:14:13.410 --> 01:14:19.200 Daniel Hubbard: Their unique abilities their perspectives and that's a key component to making this happen. 659 01:14:22.170 --> 01:14:22.950 Daniel Hubbard: The other thing so. 660 01:14:24.630 --> 01:14:25.110 Daniel Hubbard: I think. 661 01:14:26.550 --> 01:14:40.080 Daniel Hubbard: will be covered jobs programs I think i'm going to leave it with that because that's something I think can happen relatively quickly with a small amount of money and have a big yield as far as. 662 01:14:42.120 --> 01:14:58.470 Daniel Hubbard: Raising people out of homelessness and poverty that's what we're trying to do we that should be our ultimate goal a lot of these programs almost seem to be designed to trap them in homelessness and I know that's not the intent but. 663 01:15:00.180 --> 01:15:04.320 Daniel Hubbard: To a degree and being more than 20 years involved in this. 664 01:15:05.400 --> 01:15:07.050 Daniel Hubbard: It does seem to lend to. 665 01:15:08.700 --> 01:15:15.210 Daniel Hubbard: To that ultimate outcome for certain individuals there's a lot to say I just. 666 01:15:16.350 --> 01:15:18.600 Daniel Hubbard: I would rather respond to. 667 01:15:20.280 --> 01:15:25.410 Daniel Hubbard: people's questions or because that long term i'm hoping to get. 668 01:15:26.490 --> 01:15:27.900 Daniel Hubbard: get something even more. 669 01:15:31.890 --> 01:15:41.520 Daniel Hubbard: You know what i'm hoping to do is get a ranch or several ranches which you know, especially in Venice beach, we have an artisan community we have people that would. 670 01:15:42.540 --> 01:15:47.010 Daniel Hubbard: thrive there, there are no mad type people a lot of lot of them anyway. 671 01:15:48.690 --> 01:16:08.610 Daniel Hubbard: If we give them the choice to go to go do these types of things and it's it's hinged on choice it's something that they have to be involved in a choice they need to be making and a lot of people refuse to think that they have that capacity and, of course, a lot of them don't but so. 672 01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:11.730 Daniel Hubbard: If we can divide them into. 673 01:16:12.300 --> 01:16:25.350 Daniel Hubbard: Those employable and work that and and then the other end of course at the other extreme and would be the those suffering that degree of psychosis which I also think the ranch. 674 01:16:26.490 --> 01:16:33.180 Daniel Hubbard: atmosphere of would help to address because, because we have we have clinicians we have volunteers that are. 675 01:16:34.380 --> 01:16:44.340 Daniel Hubbard: More than happy to get involved in that and there's a lot of therapy type things that could be doing animal rescue growing your own. 676 01:16:45.420 --> 01:16:55.950 Daniel Hubbard: You know foods and and things of that nature, I think it's a holistic approach to the homeless thing, and these people in and a homeless and Venice with. 677 01:16:56.820 --> 01:17:12.240 Daniel Hubbard: With thrive in such a an environment and it's I think it's something we need to consider it's something I don't see don't do it, you know done much either I have heard of that happening back East i'm not sure how much success they've had but. 678 01:17:13.260 --> 01:17:14.940 Daniel Hubbard: it's something to consider and. 679 01:17:16.080 --> 01:17:36.120 Daniel Hubbard: I think, with a minimal amount of money, we can yield, we can get a big Guild as far as again it's lifting people out of poverty, and not just a house homeless person doesn't necessarily thrive in that situation and we've had. 680 01:17:37.170 --> 01:17:39.210 Daniel Hubbard: Some of our people even Redondo. 681 01:17:40.560 --> 01:18:00.180 Daniel Hubbard: Who are drinking and drugging themselves to death once they've been House so that's not necessarily the the quick fix to homelessness but with that said i'd like to hear what what anybody might have to say, or if you have any questions i'd be more than happy to field, some of those. 682 01:18:00.540 --> 01:18:13.500 Vicki Halliday: I have, I have one Dan on um one thing people that live near the beach here are concerned about and it's always a topic of conversation is the food distribution that goes on at the beach. 683 01:18:14.280 --> 01:18:31.950 Vicki Halliday: And I realized that you're trying to put you know food in people's mouths, but the what's left afterward for parking rack or for us to do it is sometimes not always good, especially when it comes to raw produce. 684 01:18:33.150 --> 01:18:37.530 Vicki Halliday: The goals get it it ends up everywhere it's been. 685 01:18:38.790 --> 01:18:51.540 Vicki Halliday: there been a lot of complaints about it, and I would like, for you to speak to that, as I understand it, you feel like you get a lot of people from the Community who have food insecurities. 686 01:18:52.500 --> 01:18:54.420 Vicki Halliday: And i've heard that from other. 687 01:18:55.050 --> 01:19:06.060 Vicki Halliday: food distributors um but if they're from the saffron Center or places like that, is it not an option to drop some of that off at places on the way so. 688 01:19:06.570 --> 01:19:15.990 Vicki Halliday: there's not such a conglomeration of people on the beach, and also my own little raw potatoes and stuff I mean in the summer it gets really gnarly out there. 689 01:19:16.410 --> 01:19:27.510 Vicki Halliday: So if you could, if you could speak to your situation and maybe that of others who do similar I think we would all appreciate it, because it is a topic around here, thank you. 690 01:19:28.140 --> 01:19:45.210 Daniel Hubbard: yeah absolutely um, thank you for that, again, I think, in a Community setting what we could do, and you know your suggestion that dropping off and maybe have people who can process it into stew, and we do do that with the fellow the. 691 01:19:47.910 --> 01:19:48.630 Daniel Hubbard: What you call it. 692 01:19:49.680 --> 01:20:00.900 Daniel Hubbard: The Hindu brother down there, who was making his porch and going out there, I was supplying him, unfortunately, I think he he hurt his back recently and stop doing that. 693 01:20:02.340 --> 01:20:11.160 Daniel Hubbard: But just feeding them it's not really the overall goal, but my ideas, always been to give them nutritious food early in the morning. 694 01:20:12.150 --> 01:20:21.600 Daniel Hubbard: You know, which also could lend to helping with some of the psychosis but during the week it gives them opportunity to go get a job. 695 01:20:22.410 --> 01:20:29.700 Daniel Hubbard: Right, they can walk out with food in their belly and a lunch in their hand and then go pursue other endeavors. 696 01:20:30.210 --> 01:20:36.480 Daniel Hubbard: which I think a lot of programs are set them up for failure there, there are a lot of time during the middle of the day, or in the evening. 697 01:20:37.260 --> 01:20:51.510 Daniel Hubbard: And so they wait around all day you'll see him wait and then around these places, and nothing going on right, so I give them a word of encouragement and I send them on their way and I understand there's a food. 698 01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:53.760 Daniel Hubbard: problem down there. 699 01:20:55.560 --> 01:21:06.270 Daniel Hubbard: You know i've been kind of forced in this position, not necessarily the best way to handle it, but the only way I can handle it because I haven't been given any choices myself. 700 01:21:07.320 --> 01:21:26.670 Daniel Hubbard: And, but of course before co, but we did have a lot of people who were who were actually taking it from the beach and going into their homes and cooking it up and bringing it back down and serving these people, and you know, is a it's Venice beach, you know and it's. 701 01:21:27.930 --> 01:21:36.570 Daniel Hubbard: I don't know if we want to necessarily change the flavor it's always been Venice beach i'm not sure if there's a push to to change that or not. 702 01:21:38.610 --> 01:21:40.230 Daniel Hubbard: But, quite frankly, you've got. 703 01:21:41.280 --> 01:21:47.820 Daniel Hubbard: Various people make up a Community and you've got these types of people and that you know, have always called Venice their home. 704 01:21:48.630 --> 01:21:56.040 Daniel Hubbard: i'm not sure how much you're going to change it, or how much you want to change it i'm more than willing to consider. 705 01:21:56.910 --> 01:22:15.300 Daniel Hubbard: All avenues of the best way, not just a distributed food we're not a food distribution ministry, you know we're a a Gospel Christian ministry and it's about building relationships and giving people choices and, quite frankly, you're not gonna. 706 01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:31.200 Daniel Hubbard: you're not going to solve the homeless problem if you don't get them involved and build a relationship with them first, as I heard, I think, like kesha made mention of that earlier, I don't know if she's still here or not, but i'd actually like to interact with her. 707 01:22:32.250 --> 01:22:35.850 Daniel Hubbard: More because these are all integral parts of the whole. 708 01:22:36.450 --> 01:22:36.810 Frank Murphy: We can. 709 01:22:37.440 --> 01:22:37.650 yeah. 710 01:22:38.820 --> 01:22:41.880 Vicki Halliday: Questions Dan on Jackie did you have a question. 711 01:22:44.700 --> 01:22:51.840 Jody Mortimer: I did, thank you vicki Thank you Dan for for being here, the one question is. 712 01:22:52.920 --> 01:23:03.990 Jody Mortimer: How do you involve your your volunteers that are that are that are helping you with the distribution I those all prior members of your team, or they are the Venice. 713 01:23:05.310 --> 01:23:07.890 Daniel Hubbard: Venice it's more the locals i'm sorry I mean. 714 01:23:08.760 --> 01:23:17.460 Jody Mortimer: get involved and that's how you that's how you built a relationship with them, I believe down there, so they start helping with both the cleanup and the distribution itself out there. 715 01:23:18.210 --> 01:23:23.250 Daniel Hubbard: yeah right we we actually have some of the volunteers there down there all day. 716 01:23:23.400 --> 01:23:24.180 Daniel Hubbard: they'll clean up. 717 01:23:25.020 --> 01:23:30.540 Daniel Hubbard: they'll tell me that really it's not the weekend that's the problem it's like Monday morning. 718 01:23:31.350 --> 01:23:45.570 Daniel Hubbard: When they've all gone crazy and and there's food everywhere, so that we have people to go down and clean up at that point, you know, but we are dealing with a great deal of psychosis that I don't think you know. 719 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:48.900 Daniel Hubbard: That will probably solve that. 720 01:23:51.330 --> 01:24:00.300 Jody Mortimer: I think, almost at least half are the individuals that are out there just food insecurity said believe on there too. 721 01:24:00.330 --> 01:24:00.660 Daniel Hubbard: yeah. 722 01:24:01.410 --> 01:24:02.400 Daniel Hubbard: yeah there's still a. 723 01:24:02.460 --> 01:24:04.050 Daniel Hubbard: great deal of psychosis and. 724 01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:09.450 Daniel Hubbard: yeah and there's there's various ways of addressing down as well. 725 01:24:09.960 --> 01:24:22.800 Jody Mortimer: As far as you mentioned that the ranch and and some of the work that you would like to do at the ranch want to just one of my suggestions would be that might be something with the new invention of the care courts that's something that you want to look into. 726 01:24:24.900 --> 01:24:30.810 Jody Mortimer: deciding that maybe people need to be placed out there for a period of time and that's all I have, I think you're doing great work, thank you. 727 01:24:31.530 --> 01:24:32.370 Daniel Hubbard: I appreciate that. 728 01:24:33.150 --> 01:24:34.110 Vicki Halliday: I wonder delete. 729 01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:36.780 Frank Murphy: Okay it's kind of hand. 730 01:24:36.870 --> 01:24:38.130 Vicki Halliday: i'm sorry sorry pat. 731 01:24:38.250 --> 01:24:38.910 Vicki Halliday: You go ahead. 732 01:24:42.720 --> 01:24:43.560 Vicki Halliday: Can you unmute. 733 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:45.420 Pat Raphael: Yes. 734 01:24:46.890 --> 01:24:50.460 Pat Raphael: I do want to thank you for this Ministry of. 735 01:24:52.740 --> 01:25:03.750 Pat Raphael: interaction that you have on the boardwalk on the weekend i've seen how you deliver the service evolve and change and as its as it's needed to. 736 01:25:04.350 --> 01:25:27.570 Pat Raphael: And I understand the crux of it is you guys are taking the time to eat the food from all of the the providers that make these available to knowing that you guys are going to distribute this in the way that that closer to the Community, then they can so the question that I had. 737 01:25:29.250 --> 01:25:35.160 Pat Raphael: In appreciation, I just wanted to as a form of process just. 738 01:25:36.660 --> 01:25:49.650 Pat Raphael: advocate a little bit for the guys that come to get the food that you have on Saturdays and Sundays, it seems, because it is a a Christian Ministry. 739 01:25:50.760 --> 01:26:09.750 Pat Raphael: The the first focus is the ministry and then the second focus is the food and of course I I understand this from from a ministering point of view and I, as a person who also. 740 01:26:12.090 --> 01:26:21.420 Pat Raphael: feel like it's good to to share my faith and evangelize I I I appreciate what you're doing, having said all of that. 741 01:26:21.930 --> 01:26:28.830 Pat Raphael: I just wanted to as a process communicate, is there any way that the food can be. 742 01:26:29.250 --> 01:26:41.220 Pat Raphael: The first or the primary thing, because it seems like it becomes a bit of a captive audience you've already had breakfast you've already had your coffee and you come to these guys who come to you for breakfast. 743 01:26:41.670 --> 01:26:52.170 Pat Raphael: And then, while they're here waiting for you this becomes a chance, not to just blessed over the food and then distributed, which would be one thing, but to like have a teaching. 744 01:26:52.950 --> 01:27:01.560 Pat Raphael: And then, after the teaching, then the guys get the food it almost feels like they have to endure the teaching in order to get the food. 745 01:27:02.010 --> 01:27:04.350 Pat Raphael: yeah is there is there any of that. 746 01:27:05.130 --> 01:27:07.620 Pat Raphael: That that can be addressed. 747 01:27:08.850 --> 01:27:11.040 Daniel Hubbard: ya know I appreciate, I appreciate that. 748 01:27:12.660 --> 01:27:31.080 Daniel Hubbard: You know i've been in that location, since 2003, believe it or not, and what I used to do was pull in on the street there what is next to the candle candle would and drop the food off and leave. 749 01:27:32.310 --> 01:27:35.550 Daniel Hubbard: And because the homeless, came to me and said, Dan. 750 01:27:36.660 --> 01:27:42.660 Daniel Hubbard: This is problematic because everybody just start stuff fight over the food, you know it becomes a. 751 01:27:43.740 --> 01:27:44.820 Daniel Hubbard: Just a you know. 752 01:27:46.080 --> 01:27:56.610 Daniel Hubbard: What every call dog pile in the food situation which made even you know a lot of the food went away because people are just going through it and throwing it around. 753 01:27:57.630 --> 01:28:13.680 Daniel Hubbard: So I just said, well i'm just going to pray you know, so I jump up on the wall and I pray and i'd leave and it it it happened, like that for quite some time and then, finally, I had several people go well damn we need more than just a prayer and you leave. 754 01:28:14.730 --> 01:28:25.530 Daniel Hubbard: You know, are a lot of times I would hang out but I wouldn't I was all I do is pray, and so they they they were asking for more than that because they want to be fed. 755 01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:33.930 Daniel Hubbard: And I know we can't make everybody happy and some people would just like to get their food and move on, I think it's important to. 756 01:28:34.770 --> 01:28:45.420 Daniel Hubbard: In in the waiting, because it gives our people opportunity to set up and to go through, and maybe pull some items that need to be pulled out, and you know clean it all up and. 757 01:28:46.140 --> 01:29:03.360 Daniel Hubbard: Some it's not the best, but it gives them an opportunity to do that it gives everybody an opportunity to settle down and I can't tell you how many times people come up and express that they come specifically for the word in the teaching. 758 01:29:04.440 --> 01:29:07.050 Daniel Hubbard: Rather than the food, food is secondary for them. 759 01:29:08.670 --> 01:29:09.780 Daniel Hubbard: it's you know it's it's. 760 01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:17.880 Daniel Hubbard: it's the way it just kind of progressed over the course of time, you know you you've seen it happen you've been down for a while haven't you. 761 01:29:20.100 --> 01:29:23.760 Pat Raphael: yeah that's why I first said i've seen the evolution. 762 01:29:24.120 --> 01:29:40.890 Pat Raphael: yeah it's become a different operation and it's a little more involved and it's even got more contributors, because I look at the food that comes in it's it seems like it's coming from a lot of different places lots of food so that's why I didn't want to gloss. 763 01:29:40.950 --> 01:29:41.940 Pat Raphael: Over the thing. 764 01:29:42.420 --> 01:29:42.750 Pat Raphael: That is. 765 01:29:43.170 --> 01:29:45.030 Pat Raphael: A ministry in you're doing something. 766 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:47.130 Frank Murphy: All right. 767 01:29:48.450 --> 01:29:48.930 Frank Murphy: All right. 768 01:29:50.850 --> 01:29:57.660 Vicki Halliday: Do we have any audience comments to be made, I don't see any hands up so. 769 01:29:58.590 --> 01:29:58.950 What. 770 01:30:01.260 --> 01:30:06.840 Daniel Hubbard: i'm very aware of the concern from the community in general, and those who live close by. 771 01:30:08.130 --> 01:30:16.230 Daniel Hubbard: You know when Kobe first started it was a whole different animal I did notice one thing when Kobe first started happening was. 772 01:30:17.400 --> 01:30:23.160 Daniel Hubbard: Even residences who were locals were house we're in our line. 773 01:30:24.210 --> 01:30:36.450 Daniel Hubbard: So we it's not just a homeless outreach it's for whomever and i've always emphasized that you know we've got wonderful food I don't know if you've seen it's all whole foods or trader joe's. 774 01:30:39.030 --> 01:30:39.990 Daniel Hubbard: sprouts. 775 01:30:41.040 --> 01:30:48.600 Daniel Hubbard: lazy acres which is us, you know affiliated with Bristol farms, so we get really nice quality food. 776 01:30:49.470 --> 01:30:58.500 Daniel Hubbard: And what I try to do is I get it from the store that morning within two hours I want it all gone that way it gets into the hands of people who. 777 01:30:59.010 --> 01:31:11.220 Daniel Hubbard: When they go to these other outreach is all that all that good stuff is gone right it's all been taken off the top and, of course, that happens to a degree, with my people, even though I try to stop it, but. 778 01:31:12.720 --> 01:31:17.100 Daniel Hubbard: You were saying you know i've eaten breakfast and I drank coffee, I do not. 779 01:31:18.420 --> 01:31:25.350 Daniel Hubbard: I do not eat and I do not drink coffee before I do my outreach and that's a a daily thing. 780 01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:29.550 Daniel Hubbard: The emphasis is the people that i'm serving and. 781 01:31:30.690 --> 01:31:33.600 Daniel Hubbard: You know i'm not taking care of all my needs first it's. 782 01:31:34.620 --> 01:31:48.060 Daniel Hubbard: it's about their needs, being met and it gives me perspective, you know when i'm fasting and when i'm praying so I I don't eat first no coffee, not a coffee drinker anyway, but even if I was I just. 783 01:31:49.110 --> 01:31:50.970 Daniel Hubbard: i'm too busy I get up at 630. 784 01:31:56.040 --> 01:31:57.510 Vicki Halliday: Okay, thank you. 785 01:31:57.690 --> 01:31:58.170 Frank Murphy: So much. 786 01:31:58.770 --> 01:31:59.340 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. 787 01:31:59.850 --> 01:32:02.490 Daniel Hubbard: Again, I appreciate the time to talk to you guys. 788 01:32:03.150 --> 01:32:03.960 Frank Murphy: appreciate. 789 01:32:03.990 --> 01:32:11.010 Daniel Hubbard: appreciate your presentation um, how can I get the contact information of these other into can I. 790 01:32:11.010 --> 01:32:11.160 Can. 791 01:32:12.240 --> 01:32:13.770 Frank Murphy: i'll get back to you offline. 792 01:32:14.220 --> 01:32:15.210 Daniel Hubbard: yeah I appreciate it. 793 01:32:15.540 --> 01:32:16.440 Daniel Hubbard: All right, thank you all. 794 01:32:18.660 --> 01:32:19.230 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, Dan. 795 01:32:20.160 --> 01:32:20.850 Frank Murphy: All right, we're. 796 01:32:23.790 --> 01:32:24.600 Frank Murphy: we've got a. 797 01:32:26.250 --> 01:32:29.970 Frank Murphy: The next items is the motion that. 798 01:32:31.770 --> 01:32:36.900 Frank Murphy: We have motion one and i'll read the text of the motion. 799 01:32:38.460 --> 01:32:40.710 Frank Murphy: And we'll go from there. 800 01:32:43.980 --> 01:32:54.150 Frank Murphy: order to assist in helping to maintain its most basic level the sanitary health and safety of all persons housed in on house the dignity of the House. 801 01:32:54.750 --> 01:33:02.280 Frank Murphy: The respect for the House since St camping areas have yet since safe camping areas have yet to be designated. 802 01:33:03.120 --> 01:33:11.970 Frank Murphy: properly maintained and supervised by the city of La We feel this solution is the most basic mandatory service required of the city of Los Angeles. 803 01:33:12.810 --> 01:33:32.160 Frank Murphy: We asked that the city of La immediately provide to ensure safety and cleanliness to any encampment of five or more tense and adequate supply maintenance and monitoring of mobile toilets and handwashing facilities made available 24 seven. 804 01:33:33.450 --> 01:33:54.330 Frank Murphy: When inefficient and kampmann is dispersed these facilities are to be kept available to be used, wherever those wherever these encampments reappear the monitoring and maintaining to be provided by a locally based safety monitoring entity relying on persons inhabiting the encampment. 805 01:33:55.830 --> 01:33:59.220 Frank Murphy: And to be made available to various different. 806 01:34:00.660 --> 01:34:06.180 Frank Murphy: Organizations within within Los Angeles so that's the text of the. 807 01:34:07.890 --> 01:34:14.340 Frank Murphy: motion is that and and so i've made the motion is there anybody to second that motion. 808 01:34:18.090 --> 01:34:22.260 Vicki Halliday: yeah Thank you Thank you Okay, so now we need public comment. 809 01:34:26.610 --> 01:34:27.180 Vicki Halliday: Okay. 810 01:34:27.210 --> 01:34:28.440 Frank Murphy: Please keep the comments. 811 01:34:29.100 --> 01:34:32.700 Vicki Halliday: To i'm gonna run a timer actually no. 812 01:34:32.730 --> 01:34:34.350 Frank Murphy: i'm not gonna run on her. 813 01:34:34.800 --> 01:34:37.410 Vicki Halliday: Now I can I would rather not. 814 01:34:37.440 --> 01:34:38.820 Frank Murphy: I would rather people Okay, it will. 815 01:34:38.820 --> 01:34:48.000 Vicki Halliday: Just speak freely, but I asked everyone to to be succinct Thank you so much first up a little less clay. 816 01:34:55.260 --> 01:34:56.250 Elizabeth c: hi can you hear me. 817 01:34:56.520 --> 01:34:57.870 Vicki Halliday: yeah Thank you. 818 01:34:57.930 --> 01:35:07.290 Elizabeth c: hi thanks a lot so respectfully I feel the intent of this motion came from a place of compassion, but I think there's a degree of willful blindness. 819 01:35:07.860 --> 01:35:20.040 Elizabeth c: And i'm one of the most active leaders in the park cleanup since November 2021 and I sit on the dnc I have a first hand knowledge as to how this park is being handled or I could use the words not handled. 820 01:35:21.060 --> 01:35:31.590 Elizabeth c: Some interesting data for you, Venice family clinic site references an article describing how these toilet and wash facilities must have security personnel or they become dangerous. 821 01:35:32.070 --> 01:35:38.490 Elizabeth c: la has estimated that staffing and operating immobile bathroom can cost more than 300,000 annually. 822 01:35:39.180 --> 01:35:47.400 Elizabeth c: The la times stated there's a huge risk that homeless people will be beaten up while using an unattended restroom and will require emergency care. 823 01:35:47.850 --> 01:35:56.880 Elizabeth c: homeless activists campaign to make these areas safe, they were unsuccessful at skid row and post cover the toilet facilities were removed, why. 824 01:35:57.360 --> 01:36:06.630 Elizabeth c: Violence drug dealing, prostitution and vandalism we're all reasons cited, it makes no sense for us to create a problem that we can't afford to solve. 825 01:36:07.500 --> 01:36:17.190 Elizabeth c: lapd and parks and REC authorities should have been consulted, they would have told you there's no manpower to provide security and especially at night. 826 01:36:17.700 --> 01:36:25.740 Elizabeth c: We should be focused on hiring a guard at the library, which would stop the break because enforcement that we're currently experiencing after every cleanup is done. 827 01:36:26.280 --> 01:36:32.820 Elizabeth c: Maybe bid could be cooperatively brought in, they have a security company that I believe could be utilized to work with lapd. 828 01:36:33.330 --> 01:36:49.950 Elizabeth c: If we could consistently enforce no tense, we could keep the park clean and allow it to be usable public space, again, the lack of police and security personnel, has been the main reason we keep this park in a perpetual cycle of cleanups I implore you to vote note of this motion. 829 01:36:52.890 --> 01:36:53.520 Elizabeth c: Thanks. 830 01:36:54.690 --> 01:37:00.630 Vicki Halliday: Thanks Liz um next up Susan Hewitt there you go Susan you're unmuted. 831 01:37:02.790 --> 01:37:07.440 susan hewitt: hi there thanks for giving me the opportunity to speak my. 832 01:37:08.910 --> 01:37:26.880 susan hewitt: Family and I are opposed to adding toilets and handwashing facilities, and I do not support the existence of the encampment and I now feel safe in my own neighborhood. 833 01:37:27.960 --> 01:37:34.140 susan hewitt: can no longer walk to my local store or use the library, so I. 834 01:37:35.280 --> 01:37:41.550 susan hewitt: I vote no and I hope that others well as well, thank you so much. 835 01:37:41.850 --> 01:37:46.890 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Susan i'm next Lisa redmond Lisa go ahead. 836 01:37:51.270 --> 01:37:57.300 Lisa Redmond: yeah um it seems to me that i'm rereading the motion that everyone seems to think it's a library motion. 837 01:37:58.380 --> 01:38:05.250 Lisa Redmond: But I just want to clarify that it's i'm thinking it's round about to all homeless and encampments. 838 01:38:06.330 --> 01:38:10.470 Lisa Redmond: Which is, I think, wonderful and surprising that it comes out of this committee. 839 01:38:11.070 --> 01:38:18.570 Lisa Redmond: And even to Liz clays point obviously she didn't read it, where you clearly asked for locally based safety monitoring and city. 840 01:38:19.170 --> 01:38:29.700 Lisa Redmond: Where there will you do need people to monitor those bathrooms um but i'm confused about the local bates safety monitoring entity. 841 01:38:30.150 --> 01:38:41.850 Lisa Redmond: Then fold by rely on persons inhabiting the encampment So how can you be a safety based monitoring entity but then asked persons inhabiting the encampment. 842 01:38:42.540 --> 01:39:02.430 Lisa Redmond: To be the safety monitors it there's a lot of problems there and then also with the letters you can't send a letter to Lhasa, you can only send letters to city based agencies and last is not one neither is la county parks and REC I think you mean la city rap. 843 01:39:03.930 --> 01:39:12.060 Lisa Redmond: You can't send it to county supervisor, you can send it to the Department of Health, but what you could send to and i'm surprised, he showed up at the meeting tonight. 844 01:39:12.420 --> 01:39:25.050 Lisa Redmond: Is the Deputy Mayor on homelessness you can send it to the you HR see the and all of those agencies but that's it, but thank you for trying to put this motion. 845 01:39:25.920 --> 01:39:30.240 Lisa Redmond: And we do need a bathroom at the library it's unfortunate that the librarian has said no so. 846 01:39:31.830 --> 01:39:32.580 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Lisa. 847 01:39:34.200 --> 01:39:37.830 Vicki Halliday: um next up girl do fe Darrell Please go ahead. 848 01:39:40.860 --> 01:39:46.050 Darryl DuFay: and bring this over it sounds to me of what you are going to. 849 01:39:47.790 --> 01:39:50.220 Darryl DuFay: Encourage is more encampments. 850 01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:57.510 Darryl DuFay: And you said it's five or more tense why isn't three wise and seven, etc. 851 01:39:58.530 --> 01:40:09.960 Darryl DuFay: I just I understand about toilets and Washington facilities, I even follow the contracts that the city has yearly millions of dollars. 852 01:40:10.830 --> 01:40:26.220 Darryl DuFay: But i'm so i'm confused about how this is going to work is that is that directed at sanitation, because the other people have brought out the problem of safety, I i'm just confused, thank you. 853 01:40:27.900 --> 01:40:30.480 Vicki Halliday: Darrell on next up Julie. 854 01:40:36.750 --> 01:40:37.590 Juli S: hi can you hear me. 855 01:40:37.710 --> 01:40:53.100 Juli S: Yes, Okay, thank you for letting me ask questions um regarding the the bathrooms know the debris that's what i'm we they've gone in there, to try and clean up the debris at centennial park. 856 01:40:53.700 --> 01:41:05.820 Juli S: And I know that that this is part of that vote um you know I think you're just encouraging more people to take over centennial park shouldn't all of this effort. 857 01:41:06.210 --> 01:41:15.600 Juli S: be put towards a safe parking area, a safe outdoor area, not in the middle of our library park. 858 01:41:15.990 --> 01:41:27.600 Juli S: And then the part about the debris la sanitation was supposed to go into centennial Park, and it was stopped the homeless people were all ready for the debris to get picked up and it wasn't done. 859 01:41:28.440 --> 01:41:36.840 Juli S: And I just want to remind everyone that in 2021 last summer in the middle of the summer, the hyperion plant malfunction due. 860 01:41:37.230 --> 01:41:54.300 Juli S: To the debris from the streets of Los Angeles and released 17 million gallons of raw sewage into our Ocean and the busiest July day and if we keep going this the trajectory that we're going it's gonna happen again. 861 01:41:55.770 --> 01:42:01.230 Juli S: So that's just my comment, and I hope that you guys both know and come up with a better plan. 862 01:42:02.760 --> 01:42:03.600 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Julie. 863 01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:07.920 Vicki Halliday: cj Please go ahead. 864 01:42:11.640 --> 01:42:30.870 CJ Cole: On i'm totally against any former providing these facilities to support a non authorized place to end camp, in other words, none of these are in spaces that are permitted. 865 01:42:31.530 --> 01:42:45.360 CJ Cole: are legal, and you know we're just making it easier for more people to come and vacation invest, and I mean vacation getting their free food they're free everything. 866 01:42:46.110 --> 01:42:57.540 CJ Cole: and frankly um you know they're not supposed to be any of the places they are whether it's on the street, you know, on sell to and as boulevard whether it's on rose avenue. 867 01:42:57.930 --> 01:43:16.290 CJ Cole: Although I guess that's pretty cleaned up now, you know it doesn't really matter if they are where they don't belong, it is not good for us to continue to give them facilities that make them stay and encourage more people to arrive, thank you. 868 01:43:19.380 --> 01:43:24.750 Vicki Halliday: that's, the last of the public comments it's committee comment time. 869 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:31.470 Pat Raphael: Can I jump in here. 870 01:43:33.300 --> 01:43:38.640 Pat Raphael: So let's not forget mostly where these guys came from folks. 871 01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:44.220 Pat Raphael: If remember right around when the when the. 872 01:43:45.660 --> 01:43:47.010 Pat Raphael: sheriff came in. 873 01:43:49.170 --> 01:43:53.010 Pat Raphael: Sorry wrong button the Sheriff came in and they were looking to. 874 01:43:54.360 --> 01:43:55.500 Pat Raphael: get some. 875 01:43:58.080 --> 01:44:15.360 Pat Raphael: Better Preston what was happening on the boardwalk they pretty much bribed everybody who was willing to go to a hotel and then from the hotel they try to offer them away from the beach somehow if they would take that and then a lot of people who didn't take that. 876 01:44:16.530 --> 01:44:19.440 Pat Raphael: they're now like crap on the boardwalk right so. 877 01:44:21.180 --> 01:44:31.470 Pat Raphael: What we really did was just move the population around it made it so that you couldn't be on the boardwalk or on third avenue pretty much the way you could. 878 01:44:32.430 --> 01:44:45.630 Pat Raphael: 24 hours a day like they were on the boardwalk and on a rose now, this is the spot, where right, so we few squeeze the balloon all of us is going to go somewhere. 879 01:44:46.290 --> 01:45:02.490 Pat Raphael: And then, if you squeeze it again it's going to go somewhere else, so I hope at some point we get tired of doing that and then really think about something and then maybe try to make it harder for people there and and if it's too hard for them to. 880 01:45:03.510 --> 01:45:06.810 Pat Raphael: Be there anymore, I can never understand the logic, but. 881 01:45:09.420 --> 01:45:09.720 Jody Mortimer: i'd like. 882 01:45:12.900 --> 01:45:13.380 i'd like to. 883 01:45:14.880 --> 01:45:16.050 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, thank you, frank. 884 01:45:17.160 --> 01:45:28.650 Jody Mortimer: I was just visiting portland Oregon and they have encampments everywhere all over the city, all the way out to the to the suburbs it's not just a Venice problem. 885 01:45:29.970 --> 01:45:45.480 Jody Mortimer: I believe, and also being homeless these camps are going to be there at whether we're we're not until they clean them out, and they do their sanitation sweeps, we have to do something about that I don't think having a bathroom or. 886 01:45:46.680 --> 01:45:49.560 Jody Mortimer: camping next to a toilet has always been to make or break for me. 887 01:45:51.060 --> 01:46:05.880 Jody Mortimer: So I all I know, is the residents were complaining about feces they need some big human decency says if they're going to be there and they are there and we should have a bathroom and cleans station we don't want another round of covert or, even worse, cholera. 888 01:46:09.330 --> 01:46:09.720 Jody Mortimer: that's all. 889 01:46:09.750 --> 01:46:10.020 Thanks. 890 01:46:12.750 --> 01:46:13.380 Frank Murphy: Elizabeth. 891 01:46:19.770 --> 01:46:28.950 Elizabeth Wright: Thank you, I have a question regarding your vision for monitoring and keeping it safe. 892 01:46:33.120 --> 01:46:41.340 Elizabeth Wright: Are you thinking about having the the resident of the encampment trained to take care of the equipment. 893 01:46:43.110 --> 01:46:55.770 Elizabeth Wright: which I think would be a great idea, and also to to train them so they have some concept of how do you go about being civilized in an encampment. 894 01:46:57.060 --> 01:47:01.590 Elizabeth Wright: What, what are the parameters for noise for fighting for. 895 01:47:03.870 --> 01:47:04.620 Elizabeth Wright: music. 896 01:47:06.030 --> 01:47:07.320 Elizabeth Wright: All of that kind of stuff. 897 01:47:09.180 --> 01:47:10.560 Elizabeth Wright: Are you envisioning. 898 01:47:11.760 --> 01:47:22.020 Elizabeth Wright: someone from the city or county addressing these residents and providing them with insight into what it isn't it's not acceptable. 899 01:47:25.980 --> 01:47:26.310 Frank Murphy: Was. 900 01:47:27.600 --> 01:47:28.440 Frank Murphy: To answer that. 901 01:47:31.860 --> 01:47:33.810 Frank Murphy: I was envisioning it to be. 902 01:47:35.940 --> 01:47:50.880 Frank Murphy: The people that would be monitoring the bathrooms and the situation would be empowered some from within some from without some from outside, but from local groups that are. 903 01:47:51.960 --> 01:48:04.710 Frank Murphy: immersed in the population, they know the population they're aware of the population, the population knows them if you can turn it that way it's such a lousy way to determine but. 904 01:48:05.370 --> 01:48:17.040 Frank Murphy: That would allow for there to be some accountability for somebody if they want to deface the the facilities, and it would also. 905 01:48:18.270 --> 01:48:24.780 Frank Murphy: Keep people from using the facilities for something other than what they're what they're intended for so. 906 01:48:26.130 --> 01:48:38.430 Frank Murphy: You know I mean there's got to be local local folks involved that know the pot know the know the folks that are in the in the encampments and also are. 907 01:48:39.720 --> 01:48:47.970 Frank Murphy: working around the campus so I don't know who, that is what that is I don't know how it is i'm certain i'm sure that. 908 01:48:48.450 --> 01:48:52.980 Frank Murphy: It will change with different personalities and different groups but. 909 01:48:53.460 --> 01:49:04.140 Frank Murphy: You know, it has to be people that are familiar with each other in order to make it work otherwise it'll just be something that somebody comes in plops it down. 910 01:49:04.560 --> 01:49:18.000 Frank Murphy: And walks away and then you know you'll have some security force that goes around and comes by every three or four hours well that doesn't know a damn but a good anyhow that's my that's my That was my. 911 01:49:19.350 --> 01:49:20.100 Frank Murphy: vision of it. 912 01:49:20.490 --> 01:49:22.650 Elizabeth Wright: Okay, I had heard that. 913 01:49:23.940 --> 01:49:25.170 Elizabeth Wright: At ECHO park. 914 01:49:26.790 --> 01:49:35.190 Elizabeth Wright: Before before it was cleaned out totally that the original on campus was self policing. 915 01:49:36.720 --> 01:49:39.690 Elizabeth Wright: And they did a pretty good job and then the gang moved in. 916 01:49:42.840 --> 01:49:45.270 Frank Murphy: So anyway well from. 917 01:49:46.770 --> 01:49:56.340 Frank Murphy: What i've experienced about self policing is when you start to get numbers well like even this was not intended to be specific to to. 918 01:49:57.120 --> 01:50:06.180 Frank Murphy: To centennial Park, but when you get start to get numbers which centennial park has got quite a few tenths I mean there's over there's. 919 01:50:06.990 --> 01:50:21.030 Frank Murphy: Almost 60 tenths over there, if not 60 or more, and you know if you say to people pretend or whatever I don't know how you count that that's not an awful lot of people yeah self policing that is very, very difficult. 920 01:50:21.810 --> 01:50:32.760 Frank Murphy: So, you know as far as self policing, I think the numbers in the encampment have to be a hell of a lot lower in order to even have a chance at self policing that's my. 921 01:50:37.950 --> 01:50:47.880 Elizabeth Wright: general concept I can't imagine it being considered inhumane to to provide bathroom so people can actually use the bathroom. 922 01:50:49.080 --> 01:50:51.480 Elizabeth Wright: it's that's something I do a lot, I mean the two. 923 01:50:53.100 --> 01:50:53.490 Elizabeth Wright: So. 924 01:50:54.150 --> 01:50:57.960 Frank Murphy: Well, but I understand they should certainly have the same. 925 01:50:58.440 --> 01:51:16.500 Frank Murphy: privilege, well, I understand the folks don't want to see this stuff be permanent and that's a that's a very valid concerns difficult concern to handle, but the problem, as I see it, is it's been pretty damn permanent for the last 5678 years 10 years even. 926 01:51:17.310 --> 01:51:18.840 Frank Murphy: So i'm not seeing. 927 01:51:19.590 --> 01:51:21.120 Frank Murphy: The solutions coming out. 928 01:51:22.620 --> 01:51:24.120 Frank Murphy: that are going to alleviate it. 929 01:51:25.680 --> 01:51:27.060 Frank Murphy: Is where i'm coming from. 930 01:51:28.740 --> 01:51:37.440 Vicki Halliday: break, could I just um we had one public comment or that I happened to overlook, can we plug or in real quick. 931 01:51:37.770 --> 01:51:41.880 Vicki Halliday: Sure okay um Michelle Please go ahead, sorry for that. 932 01:51:43.170 --> 01:51:52.710 Michele Siravo: Oh thanks Thank you so much um I would ask that you would vote no against this motion, the reasons I say so, our. 933 01:51:53.490 --> 01:52:04.170 Michele Siravo: It, in my opinion, will not work without 24 hour round the clock security and the idea that it could be monitored by the residents of the encampment. 934 01:52:04.740 --> 01:52:18.330 Michele Siravo: seems incredibly unrealistic to me on knowing the expense that would go behind that security, I would really ask that we look to resources that provide. 935 01:52:18.810 --> 01:52:26.970 Michele Siravo: Long term solutions that, for some reason have not come from the city, I know it is not the counselors fault, but where is the mental health. 936 01:52:27.540 --> 01:52:39.180 Michele Siravo: counseling you know where where is all the help all the housing that was meant to be provided versus encouraging and reinforcing and cabinets in public parks. 937 01:52:41.430 --> 01:52:42.330 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Michelle. 938 01:52:42.690 --> 01:52:43.470 Michele Siravo: Thank you vicki. 939 01:52:43.710 --> 01:52:45.240 Vicki Halliday: And thanks for being patient with us. 940 01:52:45.690 --> 01:52:46.050 You bet. 941 01:52:47.460 --> 01:52:51.150 Vicki Halliday: i'm OK back to the committee comments. 942 01:52:52.770 --> 01:52:54.390 Frank Murphy: And testing was on there. 943 01:52:54.780 --> 01:52:56.910 Vicki Halliday: I yeah I think Stan. 944 01:52:59.250 --> 01:53:05.490 Vicki Halliday: Stan has his hand up Brian I have something to say later, but you guys go ahead. 945 01:53:07.710 --> 01:53:11.280 Ansar Muhammad: yeah I have to run out right but i'm i'm back on, but I think the motion. 946 01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:14.550 Ansar Muhammad: Is it good motion is definitely not. 947 01:53:15.870 --> 01:53:20.100 Ansar Muhammad: A permanent fix we have passion for human veins. 948 01:53:21.150 --> 01:53:31.830 Ansar Muhammad: I just started, but if I was opening and could use bathroom i'm going to go somewhere, so I think that's a good motion because it gives a level of dignity. 949 01:53:33.330 --> 01:53:42.150 Ansar Muhammad: To the population that's over there that don't have a bathroom to use to use in terms of safety monitoring and the security I ran this by. 950 01:53:42.810 --> 01:53:53.580 Ansar Muhammad: Our outreach team and I asked him if you know we was in the mix, how would that look and so of course we have the personnel. 951 01:53:54.360 --> 01:54:05.820 Ansar Muhammad: At least, a level of it, because our personnel is already doing a bit of safety monitoring as we speak, and they're doing it because it's a passionate there's one. 952 01:54:06.420 --> 01:54:13.980 Ansar Muhammad: And number two some of the guys as homeless over there by the library is actually actual friends of ours, so we check in on them every day. 953 01:54:15.030 --> 01:54:22.680 Ansar Muhammad: But I like the motion because the brains of level of dignity man to a group of people who have obviously last day when society. 954 01:54:23.310 --> 01:54:30.720 Ansar Muhammad: And the least we can do is say you know what I know Homeowners don't want this over here, I know, everybody wants everybody to leave Venice. 955 01:54:31.170 --> 01:54:36.840 Ansar Muhammad: But at the end of the day, these are human beings man and the least we can do is say you know what i'm gonna vote. 956 01:54:37.440 --> 01:54:51.330 Ansar Muhammad: To provide a toilet for you i'm going to vote to provide a hand station for you, you know I mean that's, the least we can do that so i'm going to vote in favor of emotion, for that reason and let's get to it, thank you. 957 01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:54.360 Vicki Halliday: Ryan, why don't you go ahead. 958 01:54:54.960 --> 01:54:56.190 Brian Ulf: Thank you, thank you, thanks everybody. 959 01:54:58.080 --> 01:55:06.990 Brian Ulf: This is kind of coming up because of last month, we had a presentation by the Council office and we made a decision or or I said something. 960 01:55:07.620 --> 01:55:14.130 Brian Ulf: You know I walked into the library and virtually that entire cabinet goes in and uses the library bathrooms. 961 01:55:14.700 --> 01:55:26.730 Brian Ulf: to hand shower in the sinks and you know the seniors the kids or whatever it's a very dangerous area to walk into that bathroom and you can see it lined up before the library opens. 962 01:55:28.140 --> 01:55:38.820 Brian Ulf: I think if the library in the palisades or Brentwood if it was the same library that wouldn't even be a discussion that that access into the library is is dangerous for everybody. 963 01:55:40.020 --> 01:55:50.400 Brian Ulf: I think, human dignity, deserves the toilet and a wash station this encampment for everybody that's on this call is going nowhere. 964 01:55:51.180 --> 01:56:00.930 Brian Ulf: Until the Council office makes a decision to have it go somewhere, and so, when you have 100 people in. 965 01:56:01.830 --> 01:56:06.630 Brian Ulf: Everybody sits on a toilet once a day everybody goes P two or three times a day. 966 01:56:07.440 --> 01:56:18.420 Brian Ulf: it's there's a lot going on from human waste in that deal, and I believe, if if if you don't have toilets to go to you're going to walk across the street you're going to use yards you're going to use. 967 01:56:19.080 --> 01:56:30.690 Brian Ulf: people's private property and and then now there's crimes of opportunity, you know i'm not trying to criminalize homelessness i'm trying to get some decency there until we claim that camp. 968 01:56:31.980 --> 01:56:32.550 Brian Ulf: and 969 01:56:34.080 --> 01:56:48.360 Brian Ulf: I worked on skid row and we negotiated with the homeless encampments to get extra bathrooms we asked them to guard the bathrooms and said, if you don't stop prostitution drug dealers and everything that goes on we're not going to put the bathrooms there so. 970 01:56:48.930 --> 01:56:52.530 Brian Ulf: there's a way to do it also on third street for everybody's knowledge they have. 971 01:56:53.430 --> 01:57:07.440 Brian Ulf: They have people guarding those that are paid by the city, but let the city pay for a guard to be there and run those sanitation stations, the way they do on third street right now there's 10 tenths over on third street and they have a full sanitation station and showers. 972 01:57:08.820 --> 01:57:20.520 Brian Ulf: Just move that over and i'm not saying move it over till the Olympic move it over for a few months until they open up the hotel rooms in westchester or wherever, which is going to be the next push. 973 01:57:21.180 --> 01:57:32.010 Brian Ulf: That Mike uses to to get that in Camp mclean so until the TV cameras come until the Sheriff or until loss or or another outreach. 974 01:57:32.850 --> 01:57:49.110 Brian Ulf: thing happens that that encampment is there to stay it's not growing because it's a bathroom it's there because we're not taking the people out of it and putting them into shelter, which is what the other emotions about so i'm i'm for it, I heard everybody saying they're not but. 975 01:57:50.130 --> 01:58:02.610 Brian Ulf: You know I do outreach to i'm a peer specialist, we need to have a place for these people to go and I don't think the library is the spot for them to go and I don't think the neighbor's yard, or for where they're supposed to go that's that's my deal. 976 01:58:03.930 --> 01:58:26.910 Vicki Halliday: i'd like to say a couple of things um one everyone should know that we got quite a block of emails from residents around the library, who are very much against this motion i'm just like lapd they believe that the solution is for this encampment to be moved out. 977 01:58:28.170 --> 01:58:38.880 Vicki Halliday: And that putting in porta potties and showers or wash stations makes the encampment permanent now that's exactly what happened on third. 978 01:58:39.540 --> 01:58:50.160 Vicki Halliday: And the first go round, and third, you had a hooker in one porta potty and drug dealer in another, and people being in the rest of them and they pulled him out for a while, then they bought them back. 979 01:58:51.240 --> 01:58:58.410 Vicki Halliday: To little saner this time around, was the first go round was a nightmare, and I think people see that happening. 980 01:59:00.030 --> 01:59:14.700 Vicki Halliday: it's the library as well um, but I think that everybody on the committee should should understand that we did have a couple of days and very strong emails very much opposed to this from residents who overlooked the park um. 981 01:59:15.750 --> 01:59:20.100 Vicki Halliday: You know, they want their library back I don't know that the porta potties would do that. 982 01:59:20.670 --> 01:59:34.800 Vicki Halliday: you're not going to stop people from going into the library restrooms and and I have a problem with that, I think the push should be there needs to be big safe camping with all the facilities. 983 01:59:35.580 --> 01:59:43.230 Vicki Halliday: And you we can't do we can't pull in porta potties for a dozen encampment doesn't tense. 984 01:59:43.620 --> 01:59:50.640 Vicki Halliday: it's not going to work, that would mean that people can just camp wherever they want you all across the city and somebody's going to bring them. 985 01:59:51.420 --> 02:00:08.460 Vicki Halliday: porta potties no, we need to push the city harder and harder to have safe camping with all the services with with the job boards with health services with outreach with everything there, and you can only do that when it's on a big scale. 986 02:00:09.480 --> 02:00:13.410 Vicki Halliday: And if the neighbors around centennial park. 987 02:00:14.910 --> 02:00:18.450 Vicki Halliday: say no to the porta potties I have to listen to them. 988 02:00:19.980 --> 02:00:26.730 Vicki Halliday: And they they understand the repercussion they understand that things are going to keep going the same. 989 02:00:28.050 --> 02:00:34.560 Vicki Halliday: And they want to push for the cameras to be moved, so I don't know I can't I can't vote for this. 990 02:00:39.090 --> 02:00:41.370 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, what about what about. 991 02:00:42.510 --> 02:00:49.950 Jody Mortimer: Amending that so that the bathrooms are put in one of those empty parking lots right next to them so they get pushed down out of centennial park. 992 02:00:51.150 --> 02:00:52.770 Jody Mortimer: And those are those parking lots. 993 02:00:53.820 --> 02:00:54.780 Jody Mortimer: they're empty. 994 02:00:56.190 --> 02:01:05.100 Jody Mortimer: nine tenths of the time of the year or 99% of the time, except for sometimes on the weekends, I believe, during the summer those parking lots are empty okay. 995 02:01:07.560 --> 02:01:09.270 Frank Murphy: Can I comment on that. 996 02:01:10.350 --> 02:01:17.490 Vicki Halliday: Well that's a nice and coordinate beach parking so on summer that that will be heavily beach parking. 997 02:01:19.110 --> 02:01:19.620 parking lot. 998 02:01:22.290 --> 02:01:32.820 Frank Murphy: The intent of that this wasn't to focus on centennial Park, even though centennial park is a glaring example of the need for. 999 02:01:35.370 --> 02:01:38.790 Frank Murphy: The library has been has been. 1000 02:01:40.020 --> 02:01:40.740 Frank Murphy: pretty much. 1001 02:01:42.900 --> 02:01:43.230 Frank Murphy: You know. 1002 02:01:44.940 --> 02:01:47.130 Frank Murphy: Not available to the residents. 1003 02:01:48.450 --> 02:02:00.630 Frank Murphy: And there's a lot of issues around people being able to migrate through and go down the street and the sidewalks and everything Oh, by the way, there's there was over 15. 1004 02:02:01.860 --> 02:02:08.160 Frank Murphy: emails in opposing this that I received at at at my. 1005 02:02:09.990 --> 02:02:12.930 Frank Murphy: address on the BNP um. 1006 02:02:14.100 --> 02:02:18.840 Frank Murphy: So this was not meant to be specific, only to. 1007 02:02:20.310 --> 02:02:23.010 Frank Murphy: To centennial park um. 1008 02:02:24.060 --> 02:02:32.340 Frank Murphy: it's a it's it's meant to get a baseline of decency for. 1009 02:02:33.450 --> 02:02:50.580 Frank Murphy: A problem that is not going away, it keeps getting pushed around like that was saying it gets pushed from one place to the other it's it's a constant constant battle and then you know that they're not offering any kind of site. 1010 02:02:51.930 --> 02:02:53.910 Frank Murphy: solution that. 1011 02:02:54.990 --> 02:03:04.800 Frank Murphy: wouldn't make this would make the fact that people are staying on the streets, you know, at least in the next 510 years. 1012 02:03:06.480 --> 02:03:19.920 Frank Murphy: That make it even housing available to the people on the street so i'm i'm thinking that it's, even if it can be done earlier, at least we have some sort of. 1013 02:03:21.870 --> 02:03:22.740 Frank Murphy: mana come up. 1014 02:03:25.530 --> 02:03:35.250 Frank Murphy: decency, I think the park the centennial park should be moved I think that's a and I think it should be much, much smaller. 1015 02:03:36.570 --> 02:03:38.940 Frank Murphy: But we'll go from there. 1016 02:03:40.680 --> 02:03:48.090 Vicki Halliday: um, by the way, i've gotten several texts, there are members of the audience tonight, he believed

isn't there a face that's riding bikes around and right didn't we pay for a staff of people that would potentially be able to now have this on the route incentive to keep an eye out, I mean what's what's the. 1026 02:04:48.570 --> 02:04:52.380 Frank Murphy: problem with that is that they're not locals they don't know the phone. 1027 02:04:54.540 --> 02:04:58.710 Ansar Muhammad: frank, I want

Brian Ulf: i'm. 1083 02:09:28.830 --> 02:09:35.400 Brian Ulf: katie frank, this motion is just strictly bringing to Venice. 1084 02:09:37.650 --> 02:09:54.180 Brian Ulf: in writing if people haven't seen what the La alliance in the city agreed to do as it relates to a settlement agreement and I just wanted to make sure that we read into the record what it is that they've all agreed to since they've all agreed to it. 1085 02:09:54.360 --> 02:09:57.330 Brian Ulf: i'd like to make sure that that starts to get enforced. 1086 02:09:58.440 --> 02:10:13.950 Brian Ulf: i'm not sure how how the enforcement is is going to be levied in between the 15 Council districts, or do they all have to comply, or is it selective compliance, and so I just want to. 1087 02:10:14.400 --> 02:10:29.340 Brian Ulf: Let the people of Venice know what it said and and that's why everything that's written in there it's not really up to change or do it that's just restating what was in the La alliance as to what the settlement was do you want me to read it or. 1088 02:10:30.960 --> 02:10:32.520 Frank Murphy: yeah why don't you give it a read that. 1089 02:10:32.670 --> 02:10:33.360 Brian Ulf: We asked. 1090 02:10:34.590 --> 02:10:35.370 Brian Ulf: Mike bonding. 1091 02:10:35.460 --> 02:10:44.460 Brian Ulf: And the city of La immediately implement the settlement terms of the La alliance in the city of Los Angeles case in Venice and throughout CD 11. 1092 02:10:45.150 --> 02:10:58.950 Brian Ulf: With this settlement, the city of Los Angeles agrees to immediately begin the creation of additional shelter and housing, reducing camp MINS through the main efforts minimize the use of law enforcement established deadlines and targets that they must meet. 1093 02:10:59.280 --> 02:11:11.940 Brian Ulf: Return public spaces for everyone's use this agreement is for all of Los Angeles it's not just limited to skid row in downtown the city will offer shelter to persons experiencing homelessness and agrees to. 1094 02:11:12.540 --> 02:11:24.540 Brian Ulf: No enforcement unless an individual has first been offered shelter or to relocate the city will be held accountable to this agreement by the Federal district court judge David. 1095 02:11:25.560 --> 02:11:30.960 Brian Ulf: Carter, and this is to Lhasa bonnen garcetti supervisor. 1096 02:11:32.490 --> 02:11:46.080 Brian Ulf: The homeless and poverty committee and again this, this is an emotion that we take one or two sentences out or change it, this is just a restatement of what's already been agreed to. 1097 02:11:47.850 --> 02:11:54.450 Brian Ulf: That we believe that our city council office should start to enforce immediately, and that was the purpose behind the motion. 1098 02:11:56.070 --> 02:11:57.090 Frank Murphy: Anybody second. 1099 02:11:58.440 --> 02:11:59.580 Jody Mortimer: i'll second that motion. 1100 02:12:00.270 --> 02:12:00.720 house. 1101 02:12:02.670 --> 02:12:03.480 Vicki Halliday: looks like we have a. 1102 02:12:03.690 --> 02:12:04.470 Elizabeth Wright: Blue man. 1103 02:12:07.230 --> 02:12:08.070 Elizabeth Wright: Who second. 1104 02:12:09.000 --> 02:12:10.110 Frank Murphy: God, I did. 1105

Council office in the mayor's office. 1109 02:12:26.250 --> 02:12:27.630 Frank Murphy: looks like we've got three. 1110 02:12:27.930 --> 02:12:28.290 yeah. 1111 02:12:30.480 --> 02:12:32.700 Vicki

Halliday: Yes. 1115 02:12:45.150 --> 02:13:01.770 stacy: Thank you, sorry this was I was commenting on the porta potties it, you may have moved on, but i'm i'm a neighbor and so close to it, I think we need to work hard to move the movement encampment out of centennial park. 1116 02:13:02.160 --> 02:13:03.630 Frank Murphy: Well we've already moved on. 1117 02:13:04.620 --> 02:13:05.010 stacy: I just. 1118 02:13:05.400 --> 02:13:06.300 stacy: want to call them me. 1119 02:13:06.930 --> 02:13:13.650 Brian Ulf: This motion this motion will move it out of centennial park because it's returning public spaces, which is that is the number one. 1120 02:13:13.770 --> 02:13:14.100 stacy: Public. 1121 02:13:14.640 --> 02:13:15.810 Brian Ulf: yeah under siege. 1122 02:13:15.900 --> 02:13:17.760 stacy: I agree what you're saying yes yeah. 1123 02:13:17.940 --> 02:13:18.840 Brian Ulf: So that's what. 1124 02:13:18.900 --> 02:13:20.820 Brian Ulf: we're doing right now okay. 1125 02:13:22.590 --> 02:13:22.830 Frank Murphy: Okay. 1126 02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:27.810 Vicki Halliday: Okay um next up let's have admin gladly. 1127 02:13:37.770 --> 02:13:38.400 lisa redmond: There it is. 1128 02:13:39.990 --> 02:13:47.880 lisa redmond: yeah i'm obviously very opposed to this motion, mostly because i'm opposed to the whole line steel in the back room way it was done. 1129 02:13:48.360 --> 02:14:01.380 lisa redmond: and create it, but I think you have some problems to say to immediately implement because one all the terms of the deal, have not been worked out, so you can't immediately implement something that. 1130 02:14:01.980 --> 02:14:16.410 lisa redmond: You don't know what to immediately implement and then i'm very offended as everyone should be by returning public spaces to everyone's use that's very segregationist politic use. 1131 02:14:18.060 --> 02:14:35.160 lisa redmond: of words, the people who are unhealthy are also members of the public, and they have every right to use public spaces as well it's, not just for house people and putting out for tense and then the problem also is with. 1132 02:14:36.780 --> 02:14:48.300 lisa redmond: immediately implementing something also means building and creating shelters here in this area and I don't think everyone's realized that that how exciting that this alliance. 1133 02:14:49.020 --> 02:14:58.560 lisa redmond: deal is done, but that means everyone's gonna have to accept new shelters new homeless housing in their neighborhoods so think about that people. 1134 02:14:59.850 --> 02:15:07.500 lisa redmond: You can't just keep saying yeah we got an alliance lawsuit but now we're going to fight and make lawsuits against every project that comes our way so. 1135 02:15:08.730 --> 02:15:09.840 lisa redmond: vote no on this police. 1136 02:15:14.880 --> 02:15:16.050 Vicki Halliday: On next step girl. 1137 02:15:18.960 --> 02:15:19.800 Vicki Halliday: Good girl. 1138 02:15:21.150 --> 02:15:29.370 Darryl DuFay: As I understand that this is not emotion life brian's just giving us information about these quote unquote settlement. 1139 02:15:30.720 --> 02:15:33.150 Darryl DuFay: which I have referred to as the fantasy. 1140 02:15:34.200 --> 02:15:35.640 Darryl DuFay: When I read that. 1141 02:15:35.670 --> 02:15:42.060 Darryl DuFay: It was supposed to be between the county and the city and the county dropped out. 1142 02:15:43.830 --> 02:15:58.500 Darryl DuFay: And they county surprise supplies all the services and everyone that's talked about it it's if and and bus and I listened to chamber of mirrors when he was talking today. 1143 02:15:59.310 --> 02:16:09.630 Darryl DuFay: And he is a great spokesman spokesman that really told me nothing except about if ands or buts so i'm just making the comment. 1144 02:16:10.470 --> 02:16:31.410 Darryl DuFay: it's fine it's fine to to give a list of things and I don't know what you're going to do with it, other than to say Okay, we have a list so maybe that's what Maybe you can make you could clarify what you're going to with the list. 1145 02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:32.820 Jody Mortimer: girl. 1146 02:16:34.680 --> 02:16:39.870 Vicki Halliday: Okay that's the end of public comment so committee comment and i'd like to say something. 1147 02:16:44.610 --> 02:16:47.490 Vicki Halliday: Yes, there's still want to loosens in this lawsuit. 1148 02:16:48.750 --> 02:17:00.960 Vicki Halliday: I don't think it hurts us at any time to remind the city there's been a reason that we've been tied up with this lawsuit for as long as we have so let's just remind them every chance we get. 1149 02:17:02.160 --> 02:17:03.600 Vicki Halliday: That they need to be doing stuff. 1150 02:17:04.770 --> 02:17:06.510 Jody Mortimer: Is there a way to put up benchmarks. 1151 02:17:08.190 --> 02:17:13.410 Vicki Halliday: Now I mean you know every neighborhood Council could do it, but we're advisories and they're not going to pay any attention to us. 1152 02:17:13.770 --> 02:17:19.290 Jody Mortimer: Right yeah I felt see you know the who's the one how they ever going to enforce it, no. 1153 02:17:20.490 --> 02:17:21.060 Vicki Halliday: No, I think. 1154 02:17:21.270 --> 02:17:22.380 Brian Ulf: The judge the judge. 1155 02:17:23.760 --> 02:17:25.110 Jody Mortimer: was going to put somebody in jail. 1156 02:17:26.490 --> 02:17:29.490 Brian Ulf: No

Mortimer: Calendar I think it's 2035 they said, and they say 2035 and till I mean the next 15 years and mono two years they were going to provide 15,000 new units. 1164 02:18:17.220 --> 02:18:17.670 Pat Raphael: So this. 1165 02:18:18.090 --> 02:18:22.140 Brian Ulf: Is Carter Jones Carter is not gonna let somebody tread water on this deal. 1166 02:18:22.380 --> 02:18:23.760 Brian Ulf: He wants to

02:18:37.980 Vicki Halliday: We can't build enough. 1172 02:18:39.240 --> 02:18:41.130 Vicki Halliday: Okay what's coming in. 1173 02:18:43.920 --> 02:18:44.640 Frank Murphy: Elizabeth. 1174 02:18:48.330 --> 02:18:48.720 Elizabeth Wright: Thank you. 1175 02:18:51.300 --> 02:18:57.990 Elizabeth Wright: First, you know I picked it right it's the neighborhood count Venice neighborhood Council is going to be asking. 1176 02:19:00.780 --> 02:19:02.190 Elizabeth Wright: The question marks have to go. 1177 02:19:06.750 --> 02:19:16.950 Elizabeth Wright: And I think we really need to acknowledge the work that is actually being done, we don't hear about it during the process we just hear when something happens. 1178 02:19:17.970 --> 02:19:22.230 Elizabeth Wright: For example, they are creating additional shelter and housing. 1179 02:19:23.850 --> 02:19:26.010 Elizabeth Wright: They are reducing encampments. 1180 02:19:29.040 --> 02:19:30.630 Elizabeth Wright: They are offering shelter. 1181 02:19:34.710 --> 02:19:37.290 Elizabeth Wright: Before they say you've got to move right. 1182 02:19:41.010 --> 02:19:45.960 Elizabeth Wright: And I don't think it would hurt to acknowledge that they are actually doing these things. 1183 02:19:47.160 --> 02:19:49.470 Elizabeth Wright: and say just couldn't you do it faster. 1184 02:19:52.050 --> 02:19:53.730 Elizabeth Wright: Because that's what we're really after you. 1185 02:19:54.750 --> 02:19:57.240 Elizabeth Wright: Do it faster and. 1186 02:19:58.710 --> 02:20:00.600 Elizabeth Wright: work as hard as you can to. 1187 02:20:02.040 --> 02:20:08.280 Elizabeth Wright: reduce the homelessness I mean I have friends in many parts of the world, it is a global problem. 1188 02:20:08.730 --> 02:20:09.030 yeah. 1189 02:20:12.720 --> 02:20:15.480 Jody Mortimer: yeah I think a little bit of sugar wouldn't wouldn't hurt couldn't hurt. 1190 02:20:17.190 --> 02:20:24.510 Elizabeth Wright: And the Council poverty and homeless committee is Los Angeles city homeless and poverty. 1191 02:20:25.530 --> 02:20:26.010 Elizabeth Wright: Committee. 1192 02:20:27.510 --> 02:20:29.550 Vicki Halliday: Was can you take out the question marks. 1193 02:20:30.930 --> 02:20:31.200 Vicki Halliday: yeah. 1194 02:20:32.730 --> 02:20:33.930 Elizabeth Wright: Is that okay with everybody. 1195 02:20:35.100 --> 02:20:36.480 Frank Murphy: yeah where's the question. 1196 02:20:36.810 --> 02:20:37.530 Brian Ulf: question marks. 1197 02:20:38.160 --> 02:20:39.030 Jody Mortimer: yeah I didn't see what. 1198 02:20:43.560 --> 02:20:47.280 Elizabeth Wright: What I got a question mark in front of with this settlement. 1199 02:20:48.690 --> 02:20:49.110 Frank Murphy: I don't. 1200 02:20:50.580 --> 02:20:53.340 Brian Ulf: that's not the one that frank set up this afternoon or yesterday. 1201 02:20:57.120 --> 02:20:59.070 Elizabeth Wright: I had the European version yeah. 1202 02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:00.390 He. 1203 02:21:09.030 --> 02:21:18.480 Jody Mortimer: I do agree, though, maybe a little bit of sugar acknowledging, you know the hard work that stuff is being done, and some of the success, I mean limited success. 1204 02:21:21.030 --> 02:21:28.980 Elizabeth Wright: Well, it from from a readers perspective when you get a letter saying, will you please do this and you're already doing it. 1205 02:21:29.940 --> 02:21:30.300 Right. 1206 02:21:31.530 --> 02:21:34.560 Elizabeth Wright: You know, it says well this person doesn't know what's going on. 1207 02:21:42.540 --> 02:21:43.080 Frank Murphy: alright. 1208 02:21:46.770 --> 02:21:48.900 Frank Murphy: I had a hand up to, I was just. 1209 02:21:50.130 --> 02:21:57.090 Frank Murphy: commenting on the sense of urgency, because on all sides that sense of urgency exists. 1210 02:21:58.320 --> 02:22:02.430 Frank Murphy: On the homeless side there's a whole lot of conversation about. 1211 02:22:03.870 --> 02:22:09.300 Frank Murphy: All this money's being spent for the how's it being spent why don't why Why am I still sitting here. 1212 02:22:10.410 --> 02:22:12.960 Frank Murphy: Why am I still trapped in this. 1213 02:22:14.670 --> 02:22:15.210 Frank Murphy: condition. 1214 02:22:16.740 --> 02:22:18.450 Frank Murphy: On the House side. 1215 02:22:19.470 --> 02:22:22.860 Frank Murphy: it's you know similar thing, where people are saying. 1216 02:22:24.150 --> 02:22:36.690 Frank Murphy: Why isn't anything being done by you know i'm i'm i'm i'm participating i'm you know I pay a lot of taxes etc, etc, you know what what the hell is going on. 1217 02:22:37.470 --> 02:22:50.370 Frank Murphy: So I think making that punctuation marker that you know is is is is really important, I don't know how much effect it will have but i'd like to hope, it would have some effect. 1218 02:22:51.480 --> 02:22:54.360 Frank Murphy: But that's that's where i'm coming from on this. 1219 02:23:13.860 --> 02:23:14.760 Vicki Halliday: Can we take us out. 1220 02:23:15.210 --> 02:23:16.500 Frank Murphy: I think we should go to a vote. 1221 02:23:17.970 --> 02:23:18.480 Elizabeth Wright: amendment. 1222 02:23:19.110 --> 02:23:19.680 Vicki Halliday: Oh OK. 1223 02:23:22.320 --> 02:23:36.510 Elizabeth Wright: I would like to amend that for the things that are currently being done, we acknowledge and in the wording can be we realize this is currently being done and. 1224 02:23:37.530 --> 02:23:41.190 Elizabeth Wright: want to put more pressure on so it gets done faster. 1225 02:23:42.210 --> 02:23:43.590 Elizabeth Wright: Please wordsmith. 1226 02:23:52.110 --> 02:23:52.410 Brian Ulf: I think. 1227 02:23:53.370 --> 02:24:02.100 Brian Ulf: I think your intent is great Liz um but, again, this This is something that's already documented in in the Court documents and we're not. 1228 02:24:03.060 --> 02:24:04.110 Elizabeth Wright: yeah I understand. 1229 02:24:04.230 --> 02:24:11.880 Brian Ulf: we're not going to be able to amend it we're just being nice when we deliver it saying thank you for what you're doing but here's what you've been you agreed to do. 1230 02:24:12.390 --> 02:24:17.070 Jody Mortimer: yeah well that's as simple as that can remember it to say something like that something like that. 1231 02:24:19.560 --> 02:24:19.950 Frank Murphy: polite. 1232 02:24:26.160 --> 02:24:28.440 Brian Ulf: Are we are we finished with Liz she wanted. 1233 02:24:30.270 --> 02:24:31.200 colette: Oh, I just wanted to. 1234 02:24:31.260 --> 02:24:34.410 Elizabeth Wright: make a comment there wasn't seconded so it's it's gone. 1235 02:24:35.670 --> 02:24:36.120 Elizabeth Wright: that's fine. 1236 02:24:38.190 --> 02:24:38.580 Frank Murphy: All right. 1237 02:24:40.110 --> 02:24:40.500 colette: Okay. 1238 02:24:41.580 --> 02:24:53.430 colette: The the wording about minimizing law enforcement that was also in there, I just I just want to voice my concern because I absolutely don't agree with minimizing law enforcement when it comes to. 1239 02:24:53.940 --> 02:25:03.030 colette: encampment so, if anything, we need more law enforcement so part of the problem is a lack of enforcement that's why we have so many problems around the encampments. 1240 02:25:06.630 --> 02:25:11.790 Brian Ulf: I tend to I tend to agree with you, but again, this is what they've already agreed to we're not going to be able to change it. 1241 02:25:12.390 --> 02:25:14.400 colette: i'm more making a thing just. 1242 02:25:14.910 --> 02:25:15.750 Frank Murphy: Listen okay. 1243 02:25:16.860 --> 02:25:17.250 Thank you. 1244 02:25:18.900 --> 02:25:19.470 Frank Murphy: Okay that's. 1245 02:25:19.710 --> 02:25:26.280 Pat Raphael: Fine, the original idea that we want to remember what we're doing this is not are. 1246 02:25:27.630 --> 02:25:47.490 Pat Raphael: We are the motion this is basically taking what the judge has already told these folks in all of these different executive agencies, they should be working on and doing right now and we're saying, if this is something that sounded like a good place to go with homelessness. 1247 02:25:49.020 --> 02:25:50.160 Pat Raphael: It should have some. 1248 02:25:51.690 --> 02:25:56.730 Pat Raphael: Local support on the ground, saying let's all move the engines. 1249 02:25:58.800 --> 02:26:11.040 Pat Raphael: Because this is something that it seems like it's going to take a lot of pieces to ever you know pull this off, but let's start thinking on these terms, it seems like that's what we say. 1250 02:26:11.490 --> 02:26:12.780 Pat Raphael: With vote
