where to find that. 86 00:48:24.330 --> 00:48:28.140 Paul Davis: If you want to send it to me again I can look out. 87 00:48:31.200 --> 00:48:35.040 Paul Davis: For Joe why don't you just share your

print screen and I said that to you, Paul. 90 00:48:57.750 --> 00:49:03.270 Paul Davis: No i'm saying Joe you should use zoom to share your whole screen, you can let us know your whole screen, I think, right now is that possible. 91 00:49:04.530 --> 00:49:05.460 Joseph Murphy: I don't know. 92 00:49:06.210 --> 00:49:07.860 Paul Davis: It down at the bottom of. 93 00:49:08.850 --> 00:49:11.700 Paul Davis: The window you sent me there generally is going to be a. 94 00:49:11.820 --> 00:49:13.770 Joseph Murphy: screen share screen okay. 95 00:49:14.160 --> 00:49:25.500 Paul Davis: So why don't you click screen share and then your you should see a picture of your whole desktop, including the zoom window if you if you click on that to be a screen share, then we should all be able to see that and we can all help with the switches I think. 96 00:49:28.290 --> 00:49:29.400 Joseph Murphy: Okay, well, I did that. 97 00:49:29.670 --> 00:49:32.280 Paul Davis: Okay now we're starting to see the

00:49:50.820 --> 00:50:00.120 Paul Davis: If you can click on it just share the screen and you can you share the screen where where we can see the participants list is that if we can see the

host because then I could. 110 00:50:23.130 --> 00:50:25.260 Paul Davis: I could probably operate the switches yo, is it possible. 111 00:50:26.100 --> 00:50:27.750 Joseph Murphy: That I would love to do. 112 00:50:28.470 --> 00:50:30.720 Paul Davis: If you can i'm happy to bear that mantle a little bigger. 113 00:50:53.580 --> 00:50:54.030 Joseph Murphy: Let me. 114 00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.740 Joseph Murphy: Man i'm such a nerd when it comes to that. 115 00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:05.370 Paul Davis: No don't worry, I mean we can make it work without our videos we can just talk, but it would be nice to share a screen share of the. 116 00:51:05.910 --> 00:51:06.750 Paul Davis: mill it would be. 117 00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:11.160 Joseph Murphy: let's see now. 118 00:51:38.100 --> 00:51:41.670 Paul Davis: Well, Joe why don't you cancel the screen share because right now we're seeing the observable universe. 119 00:51:42.810 --> 00:51:45.870 Joseph Murphy: Okay, so says, you are screen sharing so. 120 00:51:49.950 --> 00:51:50.910 Joseph Murphy: Back to bottom. 121 00:51:54.420 --> 00:52:00.240 Paul Davis: I think the participants window is where you would make someone else a Co co host if you could. 122 00:52:05.910 --> 00:52:07.920 Joseph Murphy: I can't get back to the main screen. 123 00:52:08.310 --> 00:52:18.630 Paul Davis: will try it okay let's see a Joe you can let me see here uh can you try to cancel the screen share take your cursor to the very top, you should be able to cancel the screen share the top of your zoom screen. 124 00:52:19.380 --> 00:52:21.000 Joseph Murphy: Okay, it says new share. 125 00:52:21.330 --> 00:52:24.030 Paul Davis: It just like quit share something like that, is there a quick share there. 126 00:52:25.830 --> 00:52:26.970 Joseph Murphy: It says new share. 127 00:52:27.540 --> 00:52:28.830 Paul Davis: Can you cancel the share no. 128 00:52:30.720 --> 00:52:32.790 Joseph Murphy: Oh, here it is who can share all panelists. 129 00:52:33.270 --> 00:52:34.050 Paul Davis: Oh nice okay. 130 00:52:36.060 --> 00:52:41.100 Paul Davis: But you really tried it, I think we don't okay well yeah that's right So if I could I could share reagan's memo. 131 00:52:44.220 --> 00:52:46.260 Paul Davis: Because that really is our agenda, I think, in a way right. 132 00:52:46.560 --> 00:52:55.500 Joseph Murphy: Okay, I said advanced sharing options all panelists who can share all panelists who can start who can start sharing when someone else's sharing. 133 00:52:56.460 --> 00:52:56.940 Okay. 134 00:52:58.560 --> 00:52:59.490 Paul Davis: It seems good. 135 00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:03.300 Paul Davis: So. 136 00:53:05.370 --> 00:53:14.490 Paul Davis: Maybe maybe the way to do it is to stop worrying about the video and just if I can share reagan's good notes, then we would have some to talk about is that fair. 137 00:53:15.150 --> 00:53:15.810 that's true. 138 00:53:16.860 --> 00:53:19.530 Paul Davis: All right, because we don't we don't ever get tired of seeing you Joe. 139 00:53:20.490 --> 00:53:22.350 Joseph Murphy: Oh well, yeah right okay. 140 00:53:23.940 --> 00:53:27.360 Paul Davis: Alright, so i'll tell you what let me see if I can. 141 00:53:28.410 --> 00:53:29.640 Paul Davis: Try to take the share. 142 00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:35.250 Paul Davis: didn't seem to be letting me let's see. 143 00:53:41.220 --> 00:53:47.220 Paul Davis: yeah i'm i'm not able now Joe to take the share away for some reason the way. 144 00:53:51.750 --> 00:53:56.220 Paul Davis: Well, I mean we could we could just talk about reagan's good memo. 145 00:53:57.840 --> 00:53:58.440 Joseph Murphy: yeah. 146 00:53:58.620 --> 00:53:59.850 Paul Davis: You guys are all still there right. 147 00:54:01.710 --> 00:54:02.070 Robin

00:56:46.290 --> 00:56:48.540 Paul Davis: Okay super so now our meeting is beginning yes. 181 00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.140 Joseph Murphy: that's right and we do have a, for we do have a call. 182 00:56:52.590 --> 00:57:04.380 Paul Davis: Okay, so we are continuing to talk about kind of our our mission going ahead, as everyone, I think, knows, and I think most people here are aware that there was a casual informal. 183 00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:23.730 Paul Davis: Interim discussion over the last couple of weeks, where we further review the possibility of directing some of our efforts towards helping see whether Venice is able to benefit by having a improved amenities, and some of our city parks or perhaps even some new city parks. 184 00:57:24.930 --> 00:57:38.190 Paul Davis: And so, a I think a lively discussion was had about that about two weeks ago in a casual way and Reagan qb one of our Members made a very nice memo. 185 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:46.110 Paul Davis: which was kind of a summary of things talked about that session and I think it seemed to us that it wouldn't be bad in this more formal meeting. 186 00:57:46.530 --> 00:57:54.660 Paul Davis: To briefly review some of the things that were discussed, and so that people can talk about them more and so that folks in the neighborhood or people who weren't that. 187 00:57:55.560 --> 00:58:02.700 Paul Davis: More casual session can have kind of an update on some things that have been discussed is, that is, that is, that a reasonable thing to say, Joe. 188 00:58:03.150 --> 00:58:03.930 Joseph Murphy: Yes, it is. 189 00:58:04.560 --> 00:58:16.410 Paul Davis: Okay super so and I don't feel the need to narrate this necessarily myself and Reagan would you like to talk a bit about this, or we can eat you read a paragraph or paraphrase a paragraph, but what do you guys think we should do. 190 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:19.770 Joseph Murphy: I don't. 191 00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:21.840 Joseph Murphy: see where your Reagan seeing on the meeting. 192 00:58:21.930 --> 00:58:23.040 Robin Murez: is bringing up the meeting. 193 00:58:23.520 --> 00:58:24.270 Paul Davis: I think she is. 194 00:58:25.740 --> 00:58:29.910 Joseph Murphy: I don't I don't well if she is she's not speaking. 195 00:58:30.270 --> 00:58:32.100 Paul Davis: Oh, is that right Oh, maybe she's not here okay. 196 00:58:32.490 --> 00:58:32.850 well. 197 00:58:34.200 --> 00:58:39.810 Paul Davis: I I would be happy to kind of paraphrase these things if that's useful to people does everyone have a copy of this right now, or or not. 198 00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:47.310 Joseph Murphy: So I did send a copy to everybody so everybody can take a look at it, if I could share screen is that. 199 00:58:47.670 --> 00:58:52.980 Paul Davis: Well i'm happy to just go through it briefly because I can be a lab fast talker is that all right. 200 00:58:53.580 --> 00:58:53.940 Okay. 201 00:58:55.350 --> 00:58:57.750 Paul Davis: Okay, and anyone else can, please take over anytime. 202 00:58:58.890 --> 00:59:00.030 Paul Davis: bottom line is that. 203 00:59:01.050 --> 00:59:09.960 Paul Davis: Her this memo my office had made a little map that showed local parks and playgrounds and I think that was part of what was talked about. 204 00:59:11.190 --> 00:59:20.370 Paul Davis: john palka had taken it upon himself to visit some of these parks oakwood triangle Wade Glen Allah and kind of checked into a minute ease of they had. 205 00:59:20.820 --> 00:59:30.990 Paul Davis: And, among other things, he saw that the oakwood REC Center didn't have any restrooms when he was there, so Reagan was going to check a bit and find out if you know what the strategy is over there, the policy about restrooms. 206 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:39.930 Paul Davis: john was going to look at parks and more and look into restroom hours and guys apparently medically I live near oakland park and. 207 00:59:40.470 --> 00:59:51.180 Paul Davis: it's a very busy part that people seem to enjoy, and I think it would be just crazy if they don't have restrooms that are available during all their operating hours, so I think it's worthwhile to learn more about that, and so it seems like a really good thing to do. 208 00:59:52.650 --> 00:59:56.490 Robin Murez: restaurants in the building, but the building's not open all the time. 209 00:59:56.730 --> 01:00:03.360 Paul Davis: I think that's the key right there they're kind of community Center restroom is that may not be operable, when people are in the park at other hours right. 210 01:00:04.080 --> 01:00:04.470 Right. 211 01:00:05.520 --> 01:00:15.750 Paul Davis: Okay, so I will I mean that that sounds like what's happening, I think it's true for sure, but you know if someone's out there, playing a softball game at night and the building's not open it seems like a dicey situation right. 212 01:00:16.830 --> 01:00:17.190 Robin Murez: Right. 213 01:00:17.640 --> 01:00:18.030 weird. 214 01:00:19.200 --> 01:00:22.110 Paul Davis: alrighty so then there was discussion of. 215 01:00:23.310 --> 01:00:32.340 Paul Davis: Improving local parks and playgrounds and the possibility of kind of minor lower scale and lower less costly improvements like. 216 01:00:32.850 --> 01:00:37.830 Paul Davis: You know benches shade sales that could be easier to implement then restrooms are running water. 217 01:00:38.370 --> 01:00:47.340 Paul Davis: And I think there was talk of publicizing the parks and playgrounds with sidewalks or crosswalks maybe graphics that could be distributed. 218 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:54.840 Paul Davis: I think mayor knew, she was talking about the possibility of seeing whether parks and REC would be able to join us in some of these discussions. 219 01:00:55.230 --> 01:01:05.490 Paul Davis: And Reagan was planning to post final versions of the map we've all started on along with a minute these listings that john develops on her business mom's website. 220 01:01:06.870 --> 01:01:11.970 Paul Davis: And then Reagan and I talked again this morning about the possibility that the map could kind of make it clear that the. 221 01:01:12.540 --> 01:01:17.010 Paul Davis: parks that we've talked about that are Venice park specifically as opposed to neighboring Community parks. 222 01:01:17.580 --> 01:01:32.850 Paul Davis: She and I talked about maybe using graphics to show parks that are smaller rather than larger and that maybe we might even have an icon for parks with restrooms that are available generally or parks, that that have played equipment for kids as opposed to some that don't. 223 01:01:35.220 --> 01:01:38.130 Paul Davis: And then I think there was discussion and maybe we can talk more about this. 224 01:01:39.180 --> 01:01:44.640 Paul Davis: About first Lutheran church where john is the pastor having their playground open on Saturdays. 225 01:01:45.600 --> 01:01:55.710 Paul Davis: So that there could be a kind of an additional local park hosting kids over the weekend at a time when families could enjoy it, so I think john was going to be looking into liability insurance. 226 01:01:56.040 --> 01:02:13.740 Paul Davis: and obviously we want his organization to not have any risk risk or legal issues with that sort of thing and then, as I understand that there was a discussion of a kickoff event that joelle might be involved in helping with or you know we all would and that local elementary schools. 227 01:02:18.870 --> 01:02:19.470 Paul Davis: So. 228 01:02:19.710 --> 01:02:20.640 Paul Davis: Oh, you. 229 01:02:20.700 --> 01:02:21.300 Paul Davis: made it happen. 230 01:02:22.230 --> 01:02:22.980 Joseph Murphy: i'm not sure. 231 01:02:23.430 --> 01:02:25.290 Paul Davis: Well, you know we're all seeing each other now all of a sudden. 232 01:02:26.640 --> 01:02:27.450 Paul Davis: I think generally. 233 01:02:28.710 --> 01:02:29.250 Joseph Murphy: Okay. 234 01:02:31.710 --> 01:02:35.370 Paul Davis: yeah i'm seeing i'm seeing their news now. 235 01:02:37.410 --> 01:02:38.460 Joseph Murphy: I see you Paul. 236 01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:43.170 Paul Davis: I think I think so Joe Joe has been able to make some very good progress. 237 01:02:47.820 --> 01:02:50.310 Joelle: In the midst of something do you see that. 238 01:02:51.270 --> 01:02:53.100 Paul Davis: I have not yet, but i'll look on my phone right now. 239 01:02:55.260 --> 01:03:02.010 Paul Davis: So guys, I mean I I think really that's kind of a oh Rican says, I think i'm on the wrong zoom link. 240 01:03:03.570 --> 01:03:04.410 Paul Davis: I think she has to. 241 01:03:05.580 --> 01:03:11.400 Paul Davis: i'll send her a note saying link was in joe's. 242 01:03:15.420 --> 01:03:16.770 Paul Davis: Rami day or to go. 243 01:03:18.540 --> 01:03:21.150 Robin Murez: just go on the Venice nc website. 244 01:03:21.390 --> 01:03:21.990 Robin Murez: I just he. 245 01:03:22.620 --> 01:03:23.760 Paul Davis: or she's on I think she. 246 01:03:23.940 --> 01:03:24.810 Joseph Murphy: tried I just. 247 01:03:24.870 --> 01:03:28.020 Joseph Murphy: clicked on yeah I did something here see. 248 01:03:28.560 --> 01:03:30.450 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: You guys i'm so sorry. 249 01:03:30.720 --> 01:03:42.930 Paul Davis: No don't worry Reagan we're glad to have you I actually just very briefly summarize your excellent memo so we kind of chatted chatted through that at least as an introduction and now we could actually maybe discuss it some because I think most people have a copy of it. 250 01:03:44.460 --> 01:04:02.430 Robin Murez: So I would like to mention something this is Robin mirror s um, and that is that years ago, it must be maybe 10 or 15 years ago I attended a Charrette that was put on by the Department of reckon parks and. 251 01:04:04.530 --> 01:04:12.630 Robin Murez: It was for at least all of West la, if not all, of La and the biggest takeaway I got from it is. 252 01:04:13.740 --> 01:04:18.900 Robin Murez: Los Angeles, I think, Venice has by far the fewest parks. 253 01:04:18.990 --> 01:04:22.680 Robin Murez: Well, and I think it would be great to get that statistic. 254 01:04:24.270 --> 01:04:27.180 Robin Murez: I know who led the Charrette it was um. 255 01:04:30.390 --> 01:04:35.190 Robin Murez: Michael layers wife, you know, Michael there the architects out there. 256 01:04:36.990 --> 01:04:37.920 Robin Murez: Paul, do you know MIA. 257 01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:43.470 Paul Davis: met her at times in the past, but I can't say i'm very, very close to her, but I could I would be comfortable. 258 01:04:45.450 --> 01:04:46.350 Robin Murez: Reaching as. 259 01:04:46.740 --> 01:04:54.870 Robin Murez: I think through contacting MIA or reckon parks, but me is probably more organized maybe we could get Ahold of some of. 260 01:04:55.320 --> 01:05:06.990 Robin Murez: The report that they generated from that and what she presented, because I think it was her presentation that even showed how what a desert, it is in Venice and the thing that through the. 261 01:05:10.080 --> 01:05:15.060 Robin Murez: Two CD 11 they will always say Oh, but you have the beach. 262 01:05:15.570 --> 01:05:23.040 Robin Murez: Without which I always say that's just not for the Community that's it's a very different space it's not a green space. 263 01:05:23.310 --> 01:05:32.610 Robin Murez: Where yeah where the Community can play, and we need green spaces and I had this discussion with about a year and a quarter ago with. 264 01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:45.240 Robin Murez: My good friend Mike bond and and he clearly does not view it, so I think you know anything that this committee is doing about parks is awesome but also keep in mind that. 265 01:05:46.770 --> 01:05:49.050 Robin Murez: There is now a. 266 01:05:50.580 --> 01:05:55.980 Robin Murez: The will of CD 11 is to turn all of our parks and open spaces into. 267 01:05:57.570 --> 01:06:00.030 Robin Murez: housing and encampments of some kind. 268 01:06:00.330 --> 01:06:01.080 Joseph Murphy: So. 269 01:06:01.290 --> 01:06:17.970 Robin Murez: I think your project is excellent and and I think that incoming you know politicians will probably be favor bolt to it, but at this moment it's going to be difficult to probably get anything done with parks that's. 270 01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:19.140 Joseph Murphy: What ronnie. 271 01:06:19.650 --> 01:06:22.140 Robin Murez: I don't think that's an opinion, I think that's a fact. 272 01:06:22.290 --> 01:06:30.030 Joseph Murphy: Robin could you send the contact information for them for what you've mentioned initially the person that. 273 01:06:31.020 --> 01:06:32.010 Robin Murez: yeah MIA layer 274 01:06:32.160 --> 01:06:34.290 Paul Davis: I could find her Joe I know how to find her. 275 01:06:35.520 --> 01:06:38.730 Robin Murez: If she said huge authority on. 276 01:06:39.780 --> 01:06:42.660 Robin Murez: Creating parks throughout la. 277 01:06:42.990 --> 01:06:44.190 Robin Murez: county and music orange. 278 01:06:44.190 --> 01:06:48.120 Paul Davis: Karen prominent designer and architect, who is not hard to find. 279 01:06:49.140 --> 01:06:52.920 Mehrnoosh: I can't find her to her husband was my classmate so. 280 01:06:53.370 --> 01:06:54.270 Paul Davis: that's cool well. 281 01:06:54.870 --> 01:06:58.980 Paul Davis: You want to, or you are you comfortable reaching out to her, because I can to either way. 282 01:06:59.100 --> 01:07:04.320 Mehrnoosh: I can, I can because I tried so many places i've got like about four list of. 283 01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:16.050 Mehrnoosh: associates that I was trying to contact with for parks and recs and finance office, you know as as things are now is like nobody answers, nobody. 284 01:07:17.790 --> 01:07:19.080 Paul Davis: emails and someone. 285 01:07:19.590 --> 01:07:26.670 Mehrnoosh: yeah so yeah that's why i'm here, I just wanted to not try, but I haven't reached anybody or got any responses. 286 01:07:26.670 --> 01:07:29.220 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: So what is her position or who is she. 287 01:07:29.790 --> 01:07:35.400 Robin Murez: meal, there is a landscape architect of tremendous renown. 288 01:07:35.850 --> 01:07:38.340 Robin Murez: And she has done a lot of. 289 01:07:39.750 --> 01:07:48.330 Robin Murez: designs for green spaces in parks, including what's called the great park in orange county oh. 290 01:07:48.780 --> 01:07:49.830 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Yes, i've heard of it. 291 01:07:50.580 --> 01:08:04.170 Robin Murez: And so, she was conducting I think reckon parks had enlisted her to conduct a Charrette that I attended like at least a dozen years ago in which they. 292 01:08:05.190 --> 01:08:18.690 Robin Murez: Presented information about what neighborhoods have what parks and it was clear that benefit, and it was stated that Venice had, I think the fewest parks, have any part of La um so yeah. 293 01:08:19.830 --> 01:08:31.950 Robin Murez: i'm so i'm all for what you're suggesting, I think we totally need to embrace our green spaces and open spaces and make our open spaces more park like wherever possible. 294 01:08:32.730 --> 01:08:48.360 Robin Murez: And all of them were accessible and years back and talking with reckon parks there they've got when you're talking about inexpensive things they can do they've got various kinds of playground equipment available they designate parts as being either. 295 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:51.090 Robin Murez: For active. 296 01:08:52.740 --> 01:08:54.000 Robin Murez: activities for. 297 01:08:54.090 --> 01:08:57.450 Robin Murez: More low impact activities. 298 01:08:57.600 --> 01:08:58.710 Robin Murez: So, for example. 299 01:08:59.040 --> 01:09:11.310 Robin Murez: centennial park on years back, I wanted to have it be a sculpture garden miniature golf course on an annual basis and they wouldn't allow it, because they won't allow any kind of. 300 01:09:13.650 --> 01:09:31.050 Robin Murez: objects, even a foam ball, even with huge fencing they consider it a low impact park so that's why the carousel works there, or if the museum people can do that, that can also fit there but that's why and they had said exercise equipment could go go there. 301 01:09:32.250 --> 01:09:40.980 Robin Murez: So you can get exercise equipment from them might be able to get shade sales things like that that you're suggesting that's just my experience. 302 01:09:41.610 --> 01:09:52.680 Robin Murez: But again, right now, I think I do know Commissioners of department reckon parks, you know they're like the very top of it but what's also happening is the. 303 01:09:53.730 --> 01:10:07.650 Robin Murez: la City Council has a parks committee it's like the art in parks and something Committee, just like they have plum which is planning and land use Committee, they have all these different committees and. 304 01:10:09.180 --> 01:10:16.920 Robin Murez: One of the Commissioners of the Department of reckon parts called me several months back basically saying the house is on fire. 305 01:10:17.580 --> 01:10:28.740 Robin Murez: That Mike bond is now second in command of the parks Committee, the arts and parks committee of city council and that's why we're seeing what we're seeing right now so. 306 01:10:29.460 --> 01:10:38.430 Robin Murez: We won't be able to get probably anything done until he's out of office, but I think it's really important and great to be planning for that. 307 01:10:38.460 --> 01:10:38.910 Paul Davis: Okay. 308 01:10:39.330 --> 01:10:39.960 Joseph Murphy: And thank you. 309 01:10:40.080 --> 01:10:51.150 Paul Davis: One quick question for those of us who haven't seen these things that are happening, can you give us like just just to help us with an example of an open space or park that he's kind of co opting are dedicating to other users. 310 01:10:51.630 --> 01:10:52.680 Robin Murez: centennial park. 311 01:10:53.490 --> 01:11:01.170 Paul Davis: So, and I don't know the history that was was that, like it was an indicated in some official way that they could use it for as a homeless encampment. 312 01:11:01.740 --> 01:11:04.620 Robin Murez: So I have um you know i've got this. 313 01:11:05.970 --> 01:11:20.250 Robin Murez: plan to build the carousel and that was to be installed in centennial park and his office has known about this, I think it's about four years or five years and they've always been supportive of it, but when I went to talk to him about it. 314 01:11:21.240 --> 01:11:22.500 Robin Murez: Finally, got Ahold of them. 315 01:11:22.620 --> 01:11:36.930 Robin Murez: About a year and a quarter ago and he he's holding up the installation, because it requires you know, building a building for it and we've got all the funds where we've got everything done reckon parks is fully in favor of it. 316 01:11:37.380 --> 01:11:42.450 Robin Murez: The Commissioners of record parks are fully in favor of it and bonding is holding it up. 317 01:11:44.370 --> 01:11:45.450 Joseph Murphy: i'd like to get. 318 01:11:46.800 --> 01:12:06.780 Joseph Murphy: on to the issue that we really want to address here tonight nets relates, but it's the centennial park and that's close to what john park pocket is talking about and can we can we move on to two more substantive issues on this issue. 319 01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:20.910 Joseph Murphy: i'm not sure i'm saying the right thing here Robin and I appreciate your comments but I think we've got to get off barn and and on to making sure that we're moving forward on this issue that we're trying to raise here. 320 01:12:21.210 --> 01:12:21.390 Joseph Murphy: So. 321 01:12:22.080 --> 01:12:25.410 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Maybe we could say I do want to say I do want to say I. 322 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:35.340 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: I i'm happy to continue or to continue to move on, but I do want to say that what Robin is saying is not just. 323 01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:52.050 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: You know it's not just a focus of bond, and it is, it is a park that we are trying to support its impact negatively impacting families and the use of our library, the use of the library has totally dropped, because we still want to go there, so just to say that. 324 01:12:53.280 --> 01:13:03.780 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: I think this is a very serious issue that That apart, could be so tied up a major space, you know, in a library, for in the Center of our Community. 325 01:13:04.860 --> 01:13:09.930 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: For months and months and months, while we wait for an election so just wanted to put that out there too yeah. 326 01:13:10.020 --> 01:13:11.370 Robin Murez: And I think it's also. 327 01:13:11.550 --> 01:13:12.300 Robin Murez: Like we're new. 328 01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:15.300 Joseph Murphy: region and Robin I don't deny any of that. 329 01:13:16.440 --> 01:13:19.830 Joseph Murphy: The issue is what what do we do, even though bottom still. 330 01:13:19.860 --> 01:13:21.060 Joseph Murphy: In office well Joe. 331 01:13:21.120 --> 01:13:21.360 Joe. 332 01:13:23.220 --> 01:13:35.760 Robin Murez: that's exactly what I was trying to bring up, I mean that I was saying, Joe is like man who said she's making all these calls and not getting anywhere I think it's pointless for this committee for anybody to try to do certain things right now. 333 01:13:35.940 --> 01:13:36.330 Robin Murez: But it. 334 01:13:36.360 --> 01:13:52.500 Robin Murez: it's fantastic to do things looking toward what's realistic and what can be done, and when it can be done and that's why i'm saying you know don't keep hitting your head against the wall let's do some of the legwork in research so that we can. 335 01:13:53.040 --> 01:13:54.240 Robin Murez: Get all of the new. 336 01:13:54.420 --> 01:13:59.910 Robin Murez: You know candidates know what we want and what they need to do, once they come into. 337 01:13:59.940 --> 01:14:01.320 Robin Murez: office remember i'm saying. 338 01:14:01.530 --> 01:14:02.340 Joseph Murphy: I agree with that. 339 01:14:02.970 --> 01:14:12.630 Paul Davis: yep and guys obviously what you're what you guys were talking about last time about getting some park work going with john palka at spaces, he controls is a. 340 01:14:13.110 --> 01:14:20.460 Paul Davis: great thing to do in the interim, because there could be access to that very nice playground through john and no one else needs to get permission for that right. 341 01:14:20.820 --> 01:14:27.570 Joseph Murphy: yeah if we can accomplish one thing that actually you know moves this kind of. 342 01:14:28.950 --> 01:14:30.090 Joseph Murphy: idea forward. 343 01:14:30.480 --> 01:14:37.860 Joseph Murphy: yeah and that john's side over there, with the cooperation of Joel and I think you also. 344 01:14:39.270 --> 01:14:43.350 Joseph Murphy: could actually happened in spite of bottom and so let's just move forward on that. 345 01:14:43.770 --> 01:14:51.930 Joseph Murphy: see if we can get that implemented and then use that as a as a lever to to move on other topics as well. 346 01:14:52.530 --> 01:14:55.140 Joseph Murphy: yeah really it's really kind of a very good. 347 01:14:56.340 --> 01:14:59.310 Joseph Murphy: I think it politically tactical to do it that way. 348 01:15:00.630 --> 01:15:01.050 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Is this. 349 01:15:02.700 --> 01:15:19.860 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Is this a free for all to chime in my name is kalani i'm an active westside stakeholder and i've been active within the neighborhood Council system for over a decade and what you're saying is fine and dandy, but we do need to. 350 01:15:21.480 --> 01:15:24.090 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): stick to the truth. 351 01:15:25.380 --> 01:15:34.800 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): And, as someone who's active at several neighborhood Councils on the West side too, I can tell you that there are other neighborhoods east of. 352 01:15:35.730 --> 01:15:58.890 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): This neighborhood Council that are much more park poor than then bennett's That being said, I can understand that every area wants more parks, my concern is spending money at this time when we cannot ensure park safety. 353 01:16:00.240 --> 01:16:08.010 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): We cannot ensure that the bathroom we're proposing will not be overtaken and overrun by the homeless. 354 01:16:09.450 --> 01:16:17.880 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): So we can you know banter back and forth, and what we want and all of our pipe dreams, but until we address. 355 01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:28.710 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): What is currently the thorn in all of our sides and that's homelessness and how how they have been prioritized especially. 356 01:16:29.370 --> 01:16:39.900 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Considering, who is representing our district, but that will change, and I agree that we do need to make our voices heard. 357 01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:58.350 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): It has been difficult at many of the candidate forums that i've attended, they are very difficult to get an actual question asked from the general public, many of the questions are canned i've been attending the wreck. 358 01:17:00.090 --> 01:17:14.400 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): of candidate forums and i've been very disappointed that literally the same questions are being asked by all the candidates and some of them are you know who you know bruins or leola marymount really. 359 01:17:14.970 --> 01:17:24.840 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Considering the serious problems are this county the city and our nation is facing that's the type of questions that are being asked. 360 01:17:25.170 --> 01:17:37.710 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): And it's not open to the public and i'm always suspect when there's not transparency in these candidate forums, so I you know the the the. 361 01:17:38.610 --> 01:17:52.830 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): title of this committee is very general, so I didn't realize this was a parks Committee, I thought it was a general forum, I could push general and it concerns. 362 01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:54.480 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): For. 363 01:17:54.750 --> 01:18:02.610 Joseph Murphy: kalani if you want to talk further about that i'd be glad to do so, off the record I could just you could just give me a call and. 364 01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:03.960 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: There yeah. 365 01:18:04.260 --> 01:18:05.280 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: that's not what I was. 366 01:18:05.460 --> 01:18:19.050 Joseph Murphy: What I was saying, right here, right now is that you're right that these are basic underlying systemic problems over which we, we cannot solve them without. 367 01:18:19.950 --> 01:18:28.410 Joseph Murphy: You know the state the county the city and all the politicians getting onto some kind of a program that will deal with them. 368 01:18:29.040 --> 01:18:45.840 Joseph Murphy: And so what we're trying to do is to focus on something that we may be able to actually accomplish in spite of the existence and the ongoing existence of these other issues that we cannot really control. 369 01:18:47.340 --> 01:18:59.340 Joseph Murphy: I don't want to get lost in the inner morass that we can't can't somehow move forward, even in spite of it so that's what this is trying to do is to. 370 01:19:00.090 --> 01:19:12.270 Joseph Murphy: To get something positive, even though there's a negative undercurrent that we can't escape, and so we just have to deal with these issues as they come up and hopefully. 371 01:19:12.750 --> 01:19:22.500 Joseph Murphy: The larger political arena will eventually hopefully eventually be able to deal with the homelessness and that, in a very good way, but we. 372 01:19:23.250 --> 01:19:35.190 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Just a quick thing, I just wanted to tell say the colony welcome very, very much glad to have you and this actually is not a parks committee we were discussion group, but we focus a lot on making. 373 01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:42.150 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: different ways to make Venice more family friendly and looking at parks and playgrounds is just something we're looking at now. 374 01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:55.560 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Okay, because my primary concern are the street vendors on Lincoln boulevard you know and how they have an unfair advantage to all of our bricks and mortar. 375 01:19:56.220 --> 01:20:15.330 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): businesses that are struggling, especially after we are you know coming out of covert and and the fact that less than 200 out of 10,000 street vendors are actually license and this the our downtown la Council members are trying to make it even easier. 376 01:20:15.540 --> 01:20:17.790 Joseph Murphy: kalani you're raising another issue. 377 01:20:18.180 --> 01:20:19.920 Joseph Murphy: over which we cannot. 378 01:20:20.130 --> 01:20:28.080 Paul Davis: sell well, maybe kalani could take that to the the dnc at large, because it might be a better issue for a broader discussion with the dnc generally. 379 01:20:28.140 --> 01:20:35.790 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): I have been taking it and making public comment to all the mcs throughout the West side because you know. 380 01:20:36.510 --> 01:20:52.350 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Actually that's one thing that bonding and been in and correct were the only two that stood up to all the East la Council members who pushed the the opening of our streets to street vendors and. 381 01:20:52.530 --> 01:20:56.700 Paul Davis: Low we got kind of a late start on our meeting tonight because of some technical issues, and I think. 382 01:20:56.790 --> 01:21:00.120 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): I was where I was sitting in the shadows listening to it all. 383 01:21:00.360 --> 01:21:12.780 Paul Davis: Thank you for your patience with that I, I think, since, since we did start late, maybe we can devote the last minutes, we have here to kind of try to further the plan on on this current initiative which we're thinking of as a bit of a priority, which is the the park stuff. 384 01:21:14.940 --> 01:21:17.970 Paul Davis: If that's okay and we're very happy to have you with us, certainly. 385 01:21:19.980 --> 01:21:20.460 Joseph Murphy: Okay. 386 01:21:20.730 --> 01:21:23.460 Robin Murez: So, together with the park that that are the. 387 01:21:23.580 --> 01:21:26.490 Robin Murez: School Lutheran that would be like. 388 01:21:27.270 --> 01:21:33.420 Robin Murez: Opening up private space to be a Park, which sounds wonderful I mean just chime in, though, also. 389 01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:40.950 Robin Murez: Westminster elementary if you haven't investigated that you know they have huge playgrounds the. 390 01:21:42.450 --> 01:21:49.380 Robin Murez: principal is fantastic his name is Barry Cohen he's very open to you know, having. 391 01:21:49.920 --> 01:22:07.770 Robin Murez: Westminster utilized by the Community in ways that are possible, and you know they do do the festival over there, anyway, it may be another site that in a similar way kind of a not a fully public location, but um perhaps another way to create another weekend park space yeah. 392 01:22:07.830 --> 01:22:11.910 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: But Tarzan that is a that is a guardian oh go ahead, go ahead, Joe. 393 01:22:12.030 --> 01:22:15.960 Joseph Murphy: That ties into the article that I said, but you have. 394 01:22:17.670 --> 01:22:19.860 Joseph Murphy: about using about converting. 395 01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:32.970 Joseph Murphy: School spaces to Community use and there's there's movement in that direction and I I my. 396 01:22:34.170 --> 01:22:54.120 Joseph Murphy: My attitude on the political side on the tactics of the political side is to get something accomplished now and then we can move to that and do that, and I think that's a good next step is to get the West side school to be converted to sort of a family environment to kind of park. 397 01:22:54.630 --> 01:22:55.590 Joseph Murphy: A children's park. 398 01:22:57.210 --> 01:22:57.750 Joseph Murphy: To do that. 399 01:22:58.620 --> 01:22:58.920 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): If I. 400 01:22:58.950 --> 01:23:02.250 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: may be chatting about a specific school Joe or. 401 01:23:02.340 --> 01:23:04.500 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Are you talking about schools in business. 402 01:23:04.590 --> 01:23:04.860 Joseph Murphy: well. 403 01:23:04.890 --> 01:23:14.430 Joseph Murphy: In general, schools, in general, according to the article I sent her all over the entire city, but we've got to, we have to take a step by step, is what i'm saying. 404 01:23:14.790 --> 01:23:24.810 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Maybe I think that has to go school by school, but I do remember that, for example, for a while, even though we were not part of a school for a while, on the school called. 405 01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:34.800 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: what's that school there's a school about penn mar I forgot what it's called I think it's an elementary school and I remember, she was opening it up, you know. 406 01:23:35.190 --> 01:23:43.680 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: Just like john wants to do every weekend, you know every like Saturday and Sunday mornings that people in the neighborhood could come use it, that was terrific. 407 01:23:44.040 --> 01:23:44.790 Joseph Murphy: huh yeah. 408 01:23:44.940 --> 01:23:50.970 Re(EE)gan Kibbee: But that was the That was the specific principles decision to open the school, you know, during certain hours. 409 01:23:51.030 --> 01:23:54.420 Joseph Murphy: It may be something that is done by the principle of every school. 410 01:23:54.660 --> 01:24:01.320 Joseph Murphy: If they do it, and if we can get support for that having done and get that support through the neighborhood. 411 01:24:01.320 --> 01:24:05.670 Joseph Murphy: Council my my strengthen the the politics of it. 412 01:24:06.330 --> 01:24:12.120 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): And I think it would be a great idea because other neighborhood Councils all throughout the West side. 413 01:24:12.450 --> 01:24:26.040 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): All our have tried to do this on their own and they've met with push back so this might be an idea, you might want to reach out to all the other westside neighborhood Councils and approach the Department of Education. 414 01:24:27.390 --> 01:24:28.230 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): As a. 415 01:24:29.310 --> 01:24:32.340 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): As a larger body with allies. 416 01:24:33.180 --> 01:24:36.240 Joseph Murphy: it's a possibility kalani that really is. 417 01:24:36.510 --> 01:24:48.930 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Because you know I know that palms neighborhood Council i've been trying this for us because they have a large green space at palms middle school and they have received nothing but push back. 418 01:24:49.290 --> 01:24:49.770 Joseph Murphy: on it. 419 01:24:50.190 --> 01:25:05.640 Joseph Murphy: Can we can we talk off the record you and me, because these are not new ideas their ideas that that are in the works in my mind at least and what i'd like to do is just get this first step off the ground and. 420 01:25:06.390 --> 01:25:14.070 Paul Davis: guys, what if I mean i'm guessing it joelle and it sounds like it sounds like Robin as well, no Barry Cohen, I wonder if we could send a little. 421 01:25:14.460 --> 01:25:27.630 Paul Davis: You know, Deputy ization committee to him and have a chat about whether he'd like to start off with us as we talked to john and join a process of trying to draft some of his face on weekends, is it too early to talk about that with him. 422 01:25:28.470 --> 01:25:28.950 Joelle: as well. 423 01:25:31.980 --> 01:25:32.100 Joseph Murphy: politely. 424 01:25:32.460 --> 01:25:33.150 Paul Davis: Yes, yes. 425 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:35.340 Joseph Murphy: i'm sorry Joe your go ahead, Joe. 426 01:25:35.460 --> 01:25:43.140 Joelle: Okay, excuse me to enter for you, but you are speaking, but live when the superintendent of the 11th district which. 427 01:25:44.790 --> 01:25:50.040 Paul Davis: I was just talking about the man, the principal at Westminster who Robin mentioned Baron Cohen. 428 01:25:50.880 --> 01:25:52.380 Paul Davis: Yes, you know I. 429 01:25:52.590 --> 01:26:04.020 Joelle: me send to you and I think I think that I don't know if it is, it is in the Constable can just decide for each school which one is going to be open. 430 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:05.010 Joelle: That. 431 01:26:05.100 --> 01:26:10.890 Joelle: la unified school is going to be involved in the process, because that is that to. 432 01:26:11.100 --> 01:26:13.440 Joelle: The obesity issue homes, you know. 433 01:26:13.710 --> 01:26:14.490 Paul Davis: i'm sure right. 434 01:26:15.180 --> 01:26:16.470 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): So she goes right. 435 01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:21.510 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): she's very right there's insurance concerns there are security concerns. 436 01:26:21.540 --> 01:26:22.260 Joseph Murphy: We know that. 437 01:26:22.530 --> 01:26:23.220 Joseph Murphy: We know that. 438 01:26:23.400 --> 01:26:25.440 Joseph Murphy: They know that they know that we know that. 439 01:26:25.770 --> 01:26:39.240 Joelle: Okay, so this is fine, but Mr melvin you know from now taking it to speak about him I knew him personally, we could speak about that, with him, but he's in the process of being elected. 440 01:26:40.170 --> 01:26:49.440 Joseph Murphy: We had a good relationship with the westminister school fits what i'm taking out and so approaching them and and talking with the principal sounds great. 441 01:26:49.830 --> 01:27:04.770 Joseph Murphy: But let's get the pocket idea done first and then move on to these other things because it's if there's a there's a lot of room here but let's start with something that we can actually get done now. 442 01:27:05.970 --> 01:27:06.810 Paul Davis: that's okay Romney. 443 01:27:06.870 --> 01:27:07.920 Joelle: What would he be. 444 01:27:09.780 --> 01:27:19.740 Joseph Murphy: Well john Parker had an idea that is summarized by in reagan's thing, and also by Paul and in. 445 01:27:20.010 --> 01:27:26.070 Joseph Murphy: combination again Reagan allergies, I keep messing up on that, but. 446 01:27:28.590 --> 01:27:46.770 Joseph Murphy: there's there's this is developing political legs and that's marvelous and but we've got to focus on something we can actually get done soon, and then we can use that as leverage to move on and do more bigger things and that's where i'm trying to keep us focused. 447 01:27:47.430 --> 01:27:47.640 and 448 01:27:48.840 --> 01:27:54.840 Robin Murez: Are you familiar with the fact that the Lutheran campus is shared with a call Claire Fontaine. 449 01:27:55.350 --> 01:27:56.400 Robin Murez: It cook yes, I am. 450 01:27:56.430 --> 01:27:58.440 Joseph Murphy: I am aware of the. 451 01:27:59.460 --> 01:28:06.120 Joseph Murphy: i'm aware that the a cookware font that raw fuse me that joel's tool. 452 01:28:07.650 --> 01:28:10.470 Joseph Murphy: Is cooperate with several different. 453 01:28:10.740 --> 01:28:11.940 areas and and. 454 01:28:13.320 --> 01:28:31.890 Joseph Murphy: One of them is john pocalypse area over there on on Venice boulevard and i'm not sure exactly how john has it all configured but he's got something in mind for right there and I think that Joel is aware of that too and. 455 01:28:33.210 --> 01:28:42.840 Joseph Murphy: Yes, I mean These are all things that i'd like to bring up, but maybe let's do it, step by step, rather than trying to get everything together right now we can't do it all. 456 01:28:43.980 --> 01:28:50.100 Paul Davis: Good point so so guys some processes were sort of underway, based on the discussion from a few weeks ago, and I think. 457 01:28:50.610 --> 01:28:51.030 Paul Davis: I guess. 458 01:28:51.270 --> 01:29:00.150 Paul Davis: john couldn't join us tonight, maybe make sense to have another informal meeting and talk more with the gang about things that have happened since the last informal meetings that. 459 01:29:00.660 --> 01:29:02.610 Joseph Murphy: Does that make sense that's a good thing to do. 460 01:29:03.180 --> 01:29:03.600 Joseph Murphy: So maybe. 461 01:29:04.470 --> 01:29:07.920 Paul Davis: We can you know just kind of resolve to meet again in two weeks casual. 462 01:29:10.530 --> 01:29:11.370 Paul Davis: PC gesture. 463 01:29:11.940 --> 01:29:20.880 Joseph Murphy: I think that's a good idea, because it's very useful to have a kind of discussion and kind of focus and move forward and so yeah. 464 01:29:21.330 --> 01:29:32.700 Paul Davis: What if we send out a note to john and to see when he's available even sooner than better than two weeks from now, but maybe he could join us in a little session so we could just kind of further talks and commitments made on the seventh. 465 01:29:34.470 --> 01:29:34.800 Paul Davis: Yes. 466 01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:36.900 Joelle: i'd say, please. 467 01:29:38.070 --> 01:29:42.450 Joelle: Before we have the next

be a wonderful school that we could be closed by the insurance people. 472 01:30:17.040 --> 01:30:17.670 Paul Davis: yeah so that's. 473 01:30:18.210 --> 01:30:20.880 Joseph Murphy: Okay, as a practical matter I don't just. 474 01:30:22.050 --> 01:30:23.520 Joelle: draw Let me finish the game. 475 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:36.870 Joelle: poker which one is going to speak with john I just went

Davis: You all do. 519 01:32:54.450 --> 01:32:55.380 Paul Davis: All right, can I do. 520 01:32:55.710 --> 01:32:56.070 Joelle: That I. 521 01:32:57.330 --> 01:33:05.340 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Think, my primary concern in initially hearing your introduction was that you know the West side is so filled with. 522 01:33:05.910 --> 01:33:26.490 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): Pro homeless advocates that I was concerned that your proposal for all the park improvements, though I agree there much needed I, I am very cautious that you know it's all under the guise to prepare facilities for the homeless. 523 01:33:26.610 --> 01:33:31.860 Paul Davis: Oh no well, allow me to be honestly, we have no interest in that whatsoever, I mean our interest is preparing facilities. 524 01:33:32.190 --> 01:33:43.440 Paul Davis: for families and residents of Venice, and I think it would be tragic if our fear of the homeless, prevented us from trying to take steps to offer facilities that our neighbors and friends and children could enjoy. 525 01:33:43.920 --> 01:33:55.770 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): And I agree with you, I just think that we need to take the added step to protect those facilities so that it is open to the 99.5% of the residents who actually live in. 526 01:33:56.190 --> 01:33:59.370 Joseph Murphy: A year very good speaker, can you give me a call. 527 01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:04.170 Paul Davis: we're yeah we're all for that we just have to make the facilities before we protect them I think probably. 528 01:34:05.040 --> 01:34:08.340 Joseph Murphy: I mean there are delighted issues are systemic and I I. 529 01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:11.040 Kalani W (Westside Stakeholder): You know I hadn't said. 530 01:34:12.390 --> 01:34:22.050 Robin Murez: But i'm just trying to suggest, though, also at the beginning, is, I think, if this committee wants to do things with parks that's awesome and I think what it would be great to do is to do a little research. 531 01:34:22.290 --> 01:34:23.040 Robin Murez: So that. 532 01:34:23.280 --> 01:34:31.290 Robin Murez: We could bring it up to record parks and the neighborhood Council, and the next CD 11 person with facts in hand. 533 01:34:31.560 --> 01:34:39.570 Robin Murez: With having the facts about how many parks, we have, and how they you know, a real breakdown of how they're utilized and. 534 01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:39.960 Robin Murez: Maybe. 535 01:34:40.020 --> 01:34:42.210 Robin Murez: some kind of comparison with the rest of the city. 536 01:34:42.570 --> 01:34:43.080 Joseph Murphy: I think that. 537 01:34:43.440 --> 01:34:58.650 Paul Davis: Doing Robin yeah we we've exactly defined that's an important mission we're making surveys, making checking checking off a minute the boxes on on lists and making making this map, and so we totally agree with what you're saying we are doing that now. 538 01:35:00.630 --> 01:35:01.080 Robin Murez: perfect. 539 01:35:01.500 --> 01:35:02.010 Paul Davis: yeah and I think. 540 01:35:02.280 --> 01:35:11.490 Paul Davis: we're going to keep out of it just I think we felt that, if we can work with john and joelle to have a place that's kind of a ready made instant park more or less that. 541 01:35:11.790 --> 01:35:21.780 Paul Davis: Would you know just just kind of be a shortcut to offering a new benefit to the Community, that would be a great way to kick this off as we continue with the research, but the research will move ahead. 542 01:35:23.040 --> 01:35:23.640 Joseph Murphy: Okay. 543 01:35:24.990 --> 01:35:27.120 Joseph Murphy: I think we've let's see what time is it. 544 01:35:27.630 --> 01:35:28.650 Paul Davis: it's time to. 545 01:35:29.010 --> 01:35:32.070 Joseph Murphy: it's three minutes to our closing time as a journey further. 546 01:35:34.050 --> 01:35:37.830 Joseph Murphy: Joking want to say anything else, I want to thank everybody for coming personally but. 547 01:35:38.130 --> 01:35:43.110 Paul Davis: Should I try to draft that possible motion for our next meeting is, do you think it's worth doing Joe. 548 01:35:43.530 --> 01:35:46.710 Joseph Murphy: Yes, and maybe we can consider that, on the 12th. 549 01:35:47.010 --> 01:35:49.350 Paul Davis: Okay, all right, something I will have something done this time. 550 01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:50.610 Joseph Murphy: Okay, great. 551 01:35:51.570 --> 01:35:54.510 Paul Davis: Alright, well, thank you all for coming kalani nice to have you with us. 552 01:35:54.900 --> 01:35:56.310 Paul Davis: Rather than carry with us. 553 01:35:56.790 --> 01:35:57.900 Kalani W (Westside
