113
00:10:42.450 --> 00:10:44.520
Sima Kostovetsky: Do you want us Christopher.

114
00:10:45.780 --> 00:10:48.180
Sima Kostovetsky: Do you want outreach to do anything for it.

115
00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:57.090
Christopher Lee: At this point now since i'm still incorporating as a 501 C three so just putting that out there, once i'm a 501 C three i'll have a little bit more see what.

116
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:14.370
Sima Kostovetsky: I mean what you know we it's very close to my heart, especially given what's going on at the beach, and you know that we see every single day, so you know you know that we're big supporters of any kind of cleanup that we can get behind, so thank you for doing that.

117
00:11:15.540 --> 00:11:15.960
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay.

118
00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:22.830
Sima Kostovetsky: The one thing that I do want to mention since Christina is not here, and she sent me an email.

119
00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:38.340
Sima Kostovetsky: And it has to do with budget, especially because what's happening, and I want you guys as our outreach committee to be aware, is that i've been doing all the printing and copying for all the other committees.

120
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.500
Sima Kostovetsky: That come and asked me for support so um.

121
00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:51.480
Sima Kostovetsky: I think that one of the things that needs to be incorporated in the budget and which I did I included that was to make sure that.

122
00:11:51.750 --> 00:12:09.420
Sima Kostovetsky: Since everybody is working out of our homes and we don't really have office space anymore, that the costs associated with distribution of certain flyers and making sure that, like obviously i've been paying for things that come out of outreach like personally.

123
00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:19.680
Sima Kostovetsky: Because of where my home offices, but I don't want to put that burden on other committees and other committee chairs so Christina was very specific since.

124
00:12:21.210 --> 00:12:32.640
Sima Kostovetsky: resiliency so prolific and they do such good work for the Community, they have a lot of expenses, you know in printing their flyers and things like that, so I want to make sure that we incorporate.

125
00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:41.640
Sima Kostovetsky: into budget, especially since we have money left over for the next month that if our committees need support.

126
00:12:42.090 --> 00:12:43.200
Sima Kostovetsky: We have the capability.

127
00:12:43.290 --> 00:12:43.800
Sima Kostovetsky: To do that.

128
00:12:45.690 --> 00:13:00.630
Sima Kostovetsky: which usually means that we go and make copies at staples or kinko's or something like that, I mean that's just how it's been so i'm christina's request was just to make sure that resiliency supported, so I think we can do that, that.

129
00:13:01.950 --> 00:13:03.180
Sima Kostovetsky: um.

130
00:13:04.290 --> 00:13:04.770
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah.

131
00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:11.820
Sima Kostovetsky: boy okay so chair report um I got her dress the big elephant in the room.

132
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.880
Christopher Lee: We omitted public comment for.

133
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.710
Sima Kostovetsky: Oh i'm so sorry you're you're you're right, I apologize for that I just skipped down.

134
00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.180
From committee members.

135
00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:26.550
Sima Kostovetsky: We comment on items, not on the religious.

136
00:13:26.610 --> 00:13:33.840
Sima Kostovetsky: Agenda related to outreach committee only let me see if we have any hands raised.

137
00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:39.480
Sima Kostovetsky: know from our attendees hi cj hi Lisa welcome, thank you for coming.

138
00:13:41.730 --> 00:13:56.490
Sima Kostovetsky: Nothing nothing from our attendees on public comment okay great moving on to tear reports a CD 11 Canada forum that never was, I have to address that.

139
00:14:01.260 --> 00:14:12.900
Sima Kostovetsky: We still don't have an answer from the city as to why or how this was cancelled, we can only surmise, but we should not do that in a public forum.

140
00:14:13.410 --> 00:14:28.530
Sima Kostovetsky: I sent you that email the relevant paragraphs from the email that were sent to the city from the city to us to outreach committee with less than 24 hours notice advising us.

141
00:14:29.010 --> 00:14:37.710
Sima Kostovetsky: That because there were certain things that were brought up by stakeholders, as well as dmc board members that the city needed to investigate.

142
00:14:39.150 --> 00:14:52.740
Sima Kostovetsky: And that is all we know, and I know from other board members that i've spoken to we have asked once again for the city to give us an official explanation and they have yet to do that.

143
00:14:55.230 --> 00:15:06.180
Sima Kostovetsky: So that that is where we stand and again I don't want to make any kind of conjectures on why or how the city.

144
00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.880
Sima Kostovetsky: cancelled the forum.

145
00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:11.490
Sima Kostovetsky: and

146
00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:22.500
Sima Kostovetsky: I can only speak to what we were given, and that is why I have reiterated that I believe that we have done everything in our power.

147
00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:28.110
Sima Kostovetsky: To have made sure that the candidate forum was impartial.

148
00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:50.430
Sima Kostovetsky: And all inclusive, to the point where, when I sent out all of my emails to the candidates, they were sent out all at the same time, my follow up emails were sent out all at the same time to ensure impartiality, we had asked the that the city and empower la take over our zoom.

149
00:15:52.410 --> 00:16:06.480
Sima Kostovetsky: Calls as well, which they had agreed to do and I was on multiple phone calls with Freddie our liaison to ensure that everything went according to plan and was done impartially.

150
00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:13.470
Sima Kostovetsky: i'm vicki actually was on one of those phone calls as well, so she can.

151
00:16:16.590 --> 00:16:19.380
Sima Kostovetsky: You know she's a witness to the fact that the city was involved.

152
00:16:20.640 --> 00:16:35.160
Sima Kostovetsky: With us in planning this and to ensure impartiality, because my conjecture, is that the city wanted to make sure that everything was done with the I dotted and the t's crossed.

153
00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:44.520
Sima Kostovetsky: So I can tell you that that was done to the best of our abilities and we were floored when this happened.

154
00:16:45.660 --> 00:16:54.180
Sima Kostovetsky: And I think it was a huge and I will go out and publicly say this, I think it was a huge disservice to our Community huge, especially given the work that went in.

155
00:16:59.490 --> 00:17:12.000
Sima Kostovetsky: So I yield some of the floor if anybody wants to have a discussion about this, because I think that if you want to, that is something that we should um but I don't have any answers, unfortunately.

156
00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:31.440
Christopher Lee: what's there for me is just the velocity with which have moved being a member of the average company and not being looped in and to those communications fully just left me as like oh surprise we're having a forum surprise we're not having a forum just a lot of surprises in rapid succession.

157
00:17:32.730 --> 00:17:41.220
Christopher Lee: So just having that level of communication between us all as committee members, so that we can contribute accordingly and just helping us.

158
00:17:42.270 --> 00:17:43.950
Christopher Lee: dotting your i's and crossing the t's.

159
00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:57.600
Sima Kostovetsky: um I do want to address the fact that I did email you guys the velocity with which had happened had to do with we went out on April 1 with an email post our meeting.

160
00:17:58.410 --> 00:18:05.790
Sima Kostovetsky: With an April first letter to the candidates, I could not copy all of you on it, because that was something that was between the.

161
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:16.110
Sima Kostovetsky: candidates and myself as outreach chair, I can tell you that the follow up happened on April 4 and April 5.

162
00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:33.720
Sima Kostovetsky: Because we needed to get confirmation from the candidates that they could do the date that was agreed upon that confirmation did not happen until I want you guys to be aware of the dates April 12.

163
00:18:35.670 --> 00:18:41.610
Sima Kostovetsky: And then we had to get budget approval which you guys all knew about that I need to get budget approved.

164
00:18:42.030 --> 00:18:57.570
Sima Kostovetsky: And the city and I actually texted you when the city approved my budget because I was so excited that they finally approved our budget for the candidate forum, we have that in our notes and then literally oh yeah and I sent that out, thank you.

165
00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.820
Sima Kostovetsky: To the city.

166
00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:12.270
Sima Kostovetsky: We had to do everything by the book and it was all there.

167
00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:15.000
Christopher Lee: yeah so I actually have the.

168
00:19:16.020 --> 00:19:19.650
Christopher Lee: Request form right here, I don't know if it's being shown on screen right now.

169
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:20.580
Sima Kostovetsky: I see it.

170
00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:23.790
Christopher Lee: Okay, I just noted that it's 30 days prior to that.

171
00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:32.400
Sima Kostovetsky: I was in contact with the city and I let them know that it was impossible for us to do a 30 day notice.

172
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:44.910
Sima Kostovetsky: Given the velocity given our own issues with budget and the way that our neighborhood Council, the date of our dnc they were very much aware of our deadlines.

173
00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:54.600
Sima Kostovetsky: And the budget person was very much like I mean I didn't do this in a vacuum.

174
00:19:57.210 --> 00:19:58.770
Christopher Lee: That was the only thing that stood out for me.

175
00:19:59.370 --> 00:20:10.080
Sima Kostovetsky: No, I mean and they knew they knew, because when I talked to Friday I said we're gonna run out like we can't give you the 30 day notice, so I you know, I was in contact with them throughout every process.

176
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:23.370
Sima Kostovetsky: And you know, once we landed and it was we knew that we would go out to people in the Community, that we knew like respected journalists that weren't that didn't have anything to do with the dmc.

177
00:20:23.910 --> 00:20:31.680
Sima Kostovetsky: So that also had to do with the timeline because the candidates have to agree to it first right.

178
00:20:31.770 --> 00:20:32.790
Sima Kostovetsky: I know.

179
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.000
Sima Kostovetsky: If they agree April 12 how much time do we got.

180
00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:39.210
Christopher Lee: Three weeks.

181
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:41.970
Christopher Lee: Less yeah wow.

182
00:20:42.540 --> 00:20:56.490
Sima Kostovetsky: So thank you, thank you for caring everybody, I know that we wanted to do this right and I, we would have done it we we would have done it and it just it honestly, it makes me so sad for Venice that we didn't have a chance to do this properly.

183
00:20:58.020 --> 00:20:59.760
Sima Kostovetsky: Especially because you know we fought for it.

184
00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:07.830
Brian Averill: Sema obviously we're not going to get a CD 11 town hall right now.

185
00:21:08.370 --> 00:21:08.730
Angela McGregor: But.

186
00:21:08.790 --> 00:21:14.100
Brian Averill: If we do get to run off in November, should we rethink this and maybe reach out to me.

187
00:21:14.190 --> 00:21:14.940
Sima Kostovetsky: And figure out.

188
00:21:15.030 --> 00:21:17.190
Brian Averill: Exactly what we need to do before.

189
00:21:17.190 --> 00:21:27.810
Sima Kostovetsky: That well I, I think that I think that a big pieces is not going to be an issue anymore, but anyway that yes.

190
00:21:28.230 --> 00:21:29.310
Sima Kostovetsky: I think that we can totally.

191
00:21:29.310 --> 00:21:33.960
Sima Kostovetsky: revisit that um when the time comes, um.

192
00:21:35.430 --> 00:21:39.900
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah I think and also we're going to get our new budget.

193
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:49.890
Sima Kostovetsky: In July and August, so a lot of things will be more clear because we just got the administrative packet from the city on Friday.

194
00:21:50.730 --> 00:22:07.140
Sima Kostovetsky: Not even in time for our budget meeting to be able to figure all that stuff out but yes good point, thank you, Brian yeah all of this can be revisited We just have to be mindful of budgets and and you know what the Community wants Obviously this was pressing and it was.

195
00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:16.200
Sima Kostovetsky: Important and I did I thought that, given how many candidates, there were, I think it was important for them to be heard, especially because there was.

196
00:22:16.590 --> 00:22:28.740
Sima Kostovetsky: There hadn't been a Venice specific candidate forum, it was CD 11 wide and it was important for Venice to have to have a say that's where I was coming from.

197
00:22:31.470 --> 00:22:35.040
Sima Kostovetsky: anybody else moving anybody else before we move on to be.

198
00:22:38.070 --> 00:22:44.280
Angela McGregor: I just wonder if, once the primary results are in if we shouldn't jump on.

199
00:22:45.810 --> 00:22:47.190
Angela McGregor: This particular.

200
00:22:48.270 --> 00:22:55.350
Angela McGregor: Town Hall as sooner rather than later, given, and then we can do it 30 days in advance and work everything out.

201
00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:56.910
Angela McGregor: and

202
00:22:57.870 --> 00:23:08.490
Angela McGregor: When I everything that happened, looking back on i'm i'm i'm very surprised, they haven't even emailed you or anything about any kind of.

203
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.630
vicki halliday: Angela they made an accusation which i've asked them legally to.

204
00:23:12.630 --> 00:23:16.290
vicki halliday: explain what you're accusing me off, and they won't even do that.

205
00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:32.640
Sima Kostovetsky: We it unfortunately puts us in a position where.

206
00:23:33.930 --> 00:23:37.350
Sima Kostovetsky: We don't know when can't speak to anything right.

207
00:23:37.470 --> 00:23:39.180
Sima Kostovetsky: Especially because.

208
00:23:39.870 --> 00:23:45.810
Sima Kostovetsky: This was done under an outreach is off, you know what I mean so like we have to figure out.

209
00:23:49.260 --> 00:23:51.750
Sima Kostovetsky: How we're being held responsible.

210
00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:55.950
Angela McGregor: So it is complicated, are they blaming outreach for the.

211
00:23:56.970 --> 00:23:57.360
vicki halliday: No.

212
00:23:58.080 --> 00:23:59.400
Angela McGregor: No yes.

213
00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:00.330
Angela McGregor: Famous no.

214
00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:01.800
Sima Kostovetsky: No.

215
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.900
vicki halliday: Not not officially they're not.

216
00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:05.340
vicki halliday: Officially, saying anything.

217
00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:11.580
vicki halliday: That just say you guys did something wrong it's complicated we'll get back to you.

218
00:24:13.230 --> 00:24:17.190
Sima Kostovetsky: You saw the email, it was under investigation, what does that mean.

219
00:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.310
vicki halliday: Then they had to go to the city attorney.

220
00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:21.450
Exactly.

221
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:23.520
Angela McGregor: huh.

222
00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:27.210
Christopher Lee: For future if we're on a time crunch.

223
00:24:28.230 --> 00:24:33.180
Christopher Lee: I did see that i've now put together something for Venice with the candidate forum, can we partner with them.

224
00:24:33.750 --> 00:24:35.790
Sima Kostovetsky: every night is not an official.

225
00:24:35.790 --> 00:24:36.540
Sima Kostovetsky: and C.

226
00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:39.870
Sima Kostovetsky: or C they're not governed by the same rules as we are.

227
00:24:40.470 --> 00:24:40.830
Christopher Lee: Not it.

228
00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:48.510
Sima Kostovetsky: complicates everything I mean and we can't even promote F, not necessarily without.

229
00:24:50.670 --> 00:25:05.790
Sima Kostovetsky: Some sort of sent you know symbiotic yeah I mean that that's part of the issue is, we have very stringent rules as an MC which we thought we had gotten over through multiple conversations and the fact that.

230
00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:17.040
Sima Kostovetsky: empower la took over zoom and they were the ones that sent out a zoom link to each panelist to.

231
00:25:17.070 --> 00:25:18.300
Sima Kostovetsky: each candidate.

232
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.230
Angela McGregor: And they just said they weren't going to do it at the last minute.

233
00:25:27.390 --> 00:25:27.600
vicki halliday: it's.

234
00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:33.570
vicki halliday: A complicated enjoys it's really not something we should probably be.

235
00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:35.010
Sima Kostovetsky: Discussing in the public.

236
00:25:35.010 --> 00:25:37.050
vicki halliday: On something that's being recorded by the city.

237
00:25:37.530 --> 00:25:41.520
Christopher Lee: yeah I think anything we discussed right now speculation anyways until we hear.

238
00:25:41.760 --> 00:25:47.610
Sima Kostovetsky: Exactly so that that's why I sent you everything that we knew, because that was the official.

239
00:25:48.330 --> 00:25:52.230
Christopher Lee: Okay yeah little hiccup with the 30 days is the only thing I saw.

240
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:55.560
Christopher Lee: I got that you weren't communication around.

241
00:25:55.680 --> 00:26:03.630
Sima Kostovetsky: Right and the reality was that they knew that we were under 30 days they knew that because I pointed that out, and I was very specific about the fact that.

242
00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:12.210
Sima Kostovetsky: we're under 30 days, given how our committees work and given the fact that the candidates were the ones that you know everything stems from the candidates.

243
00:26:13.350 --> 00:26:13.830
Christopher Lee: And we just.

244
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:18.030
Christopher Lee: Wait then we follow up with them and see what what our logic was.

245
00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:33.930
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, I it's it's above Freddie at this point so let's just leave it at that, because vicki clear that up we just, we have to wait for guidance that's really where we're at right now and we're limited in terms of what we can say because we don't know.

246
00:26:34.350 --> 00:26:35.520
Christopher Lee: Right so.

247
00:26:36.090 --> 00:26:36.390
Brian Averill: let's.

248
00:26:36.540 --> 00:26:44.910
Sima Kostovetsky: let's move on let's move on, if we can um I think this is important than its farmers market can we look at.

249
00:26:45.030 --> 00:27:03.720
Sima Kostovetsky: Other outreach opportunities, and this was also pointed out by some stakeholders that perhaps don't frequent the Venice farmers market, and I think that this is a valid point let's can we think of other areas other than a ralphs parking lot because that makes no sense.

250
00:27:05.910 --> 00:27:11.550
Sima Kostovetsky: Where we can do outreach efforts on behalf of our Community.

251
00:27:12.750 --> 00:27:15.750
Sima Kostovetsky: That perhaps you know other locations that aren't.

252
00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:17.760
Sima Kostovetsky: As divisive or you know.

253
00:27:18.030 --> 00:27:19.710
Sima Kostovetsky: could be possibly.

254
00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:23.970
Sima Kostovetsky: more easily accessible.

255
00:27:24.210 --> 00:27:24.810
Christopher Lee: are just.

256
00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:27.990
Christopher Lee: Guidelines for locations you.

257
00:27:28.260 --> 00:27:29.790
Sima Kostovetsky: can send in you can.

258
00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:43.830
Sima Kostovetsky: You guys can send in suggestions you, we can have two minutes discussion on it right now literally two minutes, I will time it um so just just wanted some some brainstorming, to put it out there.

259
00:27:44.070 --> 00:27:48.600
Christopher Lee: The library seems like a logical location if it weren't for that income and i'm currently.

260
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.340
Christopher Lee: and

261
00:27:51.420 --> 00:28:00.390
Christopher Lee: Get on house are considered stakeholders of it, so it may be approach appropriate to do outreach there, but I get the perception of public safety is very.

262
00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:01.200
Christopher Lee: tricky around.

263
00:28:01.260 --> 00:28:10.050
Sima Kostovetsky: I I, personally, I got to be very honest with you guys and I submit like just my personal experience I um.

264
00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:27.150
Sima Kostovetsky: I had to submit I put in my voting ballots into that box and I did not feel safe doing that and that was at 6pm so i'm happy for outreach to have that.

265
00:28:28.260 --> 00:28:38.610
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah I just I can't volunteer on on that and Plus we have to have people there there's nobody going to the library, right now, so how can we do when when there's.

266
00:28:38.820 --> 00:28:41.490
Angela McGregor: There it's also very close to the farmers market.

267
00:28:41.490 --> 00:28:42.510
Angela McGregor: location so.

268
00:28:42.510 --> 00:28:44.460
Angela McGregor: It seems like a you would want to put.

269
00:28:45.060 --> 00:28:50.040
Angela McGregor: you'd want to do something, maybe I don't know closer to rosen main or something.

270
00:28:50.670 --> 00:28:51.150
Angela McGregor: Other than.

271
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.610
vicki halliday: Go to the link and whole foods.

272
00:28:53.820 --> 00:28:55.230
Christopher Lee: Whole foods is a good choice I said.

273
00:28:56.520 --> 00:29:04.410
Sima Kostovetsky: i'm, the only thing with whole foods is that it is a private organization and they have to give us permission.

274
00:29:04.860 --> 00:29:05.310
vicki halliday: They will.

275
00:29:06.090 --> 00:29:17.160
Sima Kostovetsky: To to do outreach there, so my question is just let let's just think about that, and again it doesn't have to be decided tonight, I just want to put that out there.

276
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:32.370
Sima Kostovetsky: And we're going to have a table and we're going to be dispersing literature and talking to constituents about who we are, so we I also need to talk to empower la and figure out if that's okay right because it's a private.

277
00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:39.480
Sima Kostovetsky: parking lot that's owned by a private entity So are we allowed to do that on private property.

278
00:29:40.860 --> 00:29:42.990
Sima Kostovetsky: I don't know that answer, to be honest with you.

279
00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:46.080
Christopher Lee: But the Venice Pier than being appropriate location or so.

280
00:29:46.110 --> 00:29:47.880
Sima Kostovetsky: Actually, that is, that it or.

281
00:29:47.910 --> 00:29:54.210
Sima Kostovetsky: Anything that's owned by REX and parks so that's actually a very good point Christopher and I was.

282
00:29:54.600 --> 00:30:10.380
Sima Kostovetsky: That was what I was thinking about is maybe if I talked to Sonia or wrexham parks and we can figure out something maybe closer to where they did sports day over the summer or you know something like that that's a great point that might be a better use of.

283
00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:12.900
Sima Kostovetsky: Our facilities and our.

284
00:30:15.210 --> 00:30:21.990
Christopher Lee: yeah I mean, then the skate park would definitely be an option, the the cure would be an option i'm looking event.

285
00:30:23.670 --> 00:30:31.350
Christopher Lee: Looking event based though they're also repeating summer sports and late September, so we try and outreach there yeah.

286
00:30:31.530 --> 00:30:34.050
Sima Kostovetsky: Very good, what were you saying, Brian i'm sorry I heard you.

287
00:30:34.080 --> 00:30:34.590
Brian Averill: I heard you.

288
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:46.140
Brian Averill: were saying in general, if you want to do outreach to Venice stakeholders, I don't know that the Pier with escape Barker any of these these places are going to get you the most stakeholders.

289
00:30:46.230 --> 00:30:51.420
Christopher Lee: yeah That was my concern or like highly visible and highly traffic but are they going to be stakeholder.

290
00:30:52.230 --> 00:30:53.370
Brian Averill: A lot of tourists.

291
00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:58.680
Brian Averill: Oh yeah you know 20 year old skaters who might not be that receptive to us.

292
00:30:59.490 --> 00:31:00.420
Angela McGregor: Even though they should be.

293
00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:02.520
Brian Averill: Saying that very politely.

294
00:31:02.760 --> 00:31:03.330
Christopher Lee: I mean, then.

295
00:31:03.510 --> 00:31:06.780
Christopher Lee: In driving stakeholders, I would go to coffee shops and grocery stores.

296
00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:17.400
Brian Averill: I would say Abbot kinney has the most local foot traffic it's just it's nonstop and a lot of those people live here, there are a lot of tourists, but not as many as somewhere like the pure, for example.

297
00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:27.360
Sima Kostovetsky: I am happy to look into the logistics of where we can and cannot set up like at least look at the larger sort of rules from empower la.

298
00:31:27.780 --> 00:31:43.350
Sima Kostovetsky: So I, I will make a note to do that, but I at least wanted to put that out there, so that we can discuss it cj actually raised her hand, I am happy to give cj a minute if she since we're discussing i'm.

299
00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:52.170
CJ Cole: The only thing I suggest might be spark or on you know the.

300
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:53.880
Sima Kostovetsky: There that's a great idea.

301
00:31:54.390 --> 00:31:55.050
CJ Cole: maker.

302
00:31:55.170 --> 00:32:03.750
CJ Cole: You know they're both video and properties, they have some off street parking and you know some parking on.

303
00:32:04.770 --> 00:32:09.120
CJ Cole: them they're far enough away from any homeless and damaged at the moment um.

304
00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:14.970
CJ Cole: You know, and right now we're talking about what probably would be outside anyway.

305
00:32:15.390 --> 00:32:22.950
Sima Kostovetsky: Right right right now, thank you for your input cj Thank you Lisa has her hand up to so um Lisa go ahead, please.

306
00:32:23.730 --> 00:32:26.250
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: um I would suggest, maybe going oops.

307
00:32:28.290 --> 00:32:35.790
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Well, I think, whole foods is like yeah, as you mentioned it's private but don't you have to get permission from the farmers market, which is a private entity to be there.

308
00:32:36.390 --> 00:32:46.320
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: As well um but why not oakland Park, I mean that's guaranteed all locals and stakeholders and dog walkers and you know show up there, once a month.

309
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.220
Sima Kostovetsky: Well that's a great idea REC centers in Venice.

310
00:32:51.300 --> 00:32:58.380
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, and we can alternate like we could do, maybe oakland or pen mar you know that kind of thing Thank you okay noted.

311
00:32:58.770 --> 00:33:15.450
Christopher Lee: One concern though cj touched upon, is how we anticipate people coming to engage with us, is it going to be foot traffic, was it dry ice I know which doesn't seem practical like exactly so how what are our qualifications for location so.

312
00:33:16.560 --> 00:33:18.900
Sima Kostovetsky: I think we're traffic is important.

313
00:33:19.260 --> 00:33:24.870
Christopher Lee: For traffic, and then we have to get clarity on local regulations regarding private property from done.

314
00:33:26.370 --> 00:33:39.990
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, exactly exactly and to lease this point, though, that the parking lot is a city parking lot so that's why we get around the vendors farmers market, but it is at the.

315
00:33:41.340 --> 00:33:51.120
Sima Kostovetsky: sort of at the behest of the Venice manager Venice farmers market manager so that's That is all I have to say about that.

316
00:33:51.570 --> 00:34:05.790
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, moving on budget I touched upon the issue with budget for the end of the year, I just wanted to clarify this for those who do not know our fiscal year ends in June.

317
00:34:06.270 --> 00:34:22.650
Sima Kostovetsky: That is why July is kind of a dead month for us where the city takes their time to give us our budget for next year, that is why we try to finish things um you know we have a very large reserve right now.

318
00:34:22.680 --> 00:34:24.420
Sima Kostovetsky: With money that we didn't touch because.

319
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.650
Christopher Lee: Of.

320
00:34:25.890 --> 00:34:29.190
Sima Kostovetsky: That being able to do personal events so.

321
00:34:30.210 --> 00:34:41.220
Sima Kostovetsky: I believe, at our budget meeting do not quote me we have something like 17 to 19,000 that we haven't touched this year they're basically half our budget.

322
00:34:41.790 --> 00:34:44.100
Christopher Lee: For the Venice all of it it's block party, then.

323
00:34:44.970 --> 00:34:49.170
Sima Kostovetsky: I wish I wish I would love to do a big event.

324
00:34:50.790 --> 00:35:00.210
Sima Kostovetsky: The city, but unfortunately it doesn't take it takes a lot of planning like you know when they say 30 days triple that.

325
00:35:01.350 --> 00:35:07.050
Sima Kostovetsky: Realistically, and it's not the city's fault it's just how long things take I mean that's just the reality.

326
00:35:08.100 --> 00:35:19.140
Sima Kostovetsky: So we end up in this position and i'm and we're not going to have this reserve next year, because the the vm see elections are in June.

327
00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:38.850
Sima Kostovetsky: So that is why I put my budget in with this caveat because a third of the dnc budget goes towards elections that's just reality so let's take a number that they've used over the last few years, which is $32,000.

328
00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:44.940
Sima Kostovetsky: A third of that budget $12,000 will have to go to alexa it's just that's just how it works.

329
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:57.870
Christopher Lee: kind of clarification, in other words, speaking about the election for next year, do we have any clarity and third anticipating vote by mail continued into next year's election, or if it's going to be in person or on TV.

330
00:35:58.260 --> 00:36:11.190
Sima Kostovetsky: We just got an email last week i'm, which is a and that's why I put in their deadline Monday August 1 2022.

331
00:36:11.730 --> 00:36:29.370
Sima Kostovetsky: So this is we're supposed to have a conversation before August, so I will know more, because I am being involved in those discussions, so please email me if you have any suggestions or, if you think that there's a better way of doing things.

332
00:36:30.510 --> 00:36:44.340
Sima Kostovetsky: And you know that that's why I put it under my chair report to make sure that we are going to be in discussion with done about the elections for next year, so if you have any suggestions or.

333
00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:59.910
Sima Kostovetsky: Any kind of advice I want to be able to, I want to start these discussions earlier that i'm involved in, I was not involved in our elections last year, but because so much falls on outreach.

334
00:37:00.990 --> 00:37:06.930
Sima Kostovetsky: And I don't think i'm going to be running next June so i'm not going to have the same conflict of interest issues.

335
00:37:07.710 --> 00:37:23.820
Sima Kostovetsky: I mean that's what i'm anticipating I mean who knows, but anyway still early, we have a full year, but I did want to at least put that out there, especially Christopher to make sure that we are communicating education with our constituents, and you know we can do this properly.

336
00:37:24.510 --> 00:37:30.780
Christopher Lee: yeah it's not advice or suggestions, at this point it's just simply questions because there's so much in the air, right now, so.

337
00:37:31.650 --> 00:37:40.350
Sima Kostovetsky: we're we're in this, I mean we don't even know what we don't even know if our meetings are going to be hybrid or some hybrid version, or if it's.

338
00:37:41.970 --> 00:37:43.860
Christopher Lee: Just a place to disrupt everything right.

339
00:37:45.300 --> 00:37:48.360
Sima Kostovetsky: Please forgive me i'm just need to get water.

340
00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:55.890
Sima Kostovetsky: If we want to move on to I don't see any hands raised for this.

341
00:37:56.910 --> 00:38:04.020
Sima Kostovetsky: If we want to move on to number six let's move on to Item number six give me 30 seconds to get water.

342
00:38:22.110 --> 00:38:29.130
Angela McGregor: We also have another CD 11 possible CD 11 town hall we're going to do the supervisor and the main.

343
00:38:34.680 --> 00:38:36.030
vicki halliday: depends on the percentages.

344
00:38:38.970 --> 00:38:40.350
Angela McGregor: that's true, I mean this.

345
00:38:40.350 --> 00:38:42.420
Angela McGregor: Is all incredibly hypothetical.

346
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:44.280
Angela McGregor: yeah i'm.

347
00:38:47.910 --> 00:38:48.930
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, thank you.

348
00:38:50.070 --> 00:38:53.400
Angela McGregor: yeah if I mean, can you just put it down as an F, I know.

349
00:38:54.690 --> 00:39:09.510
Angela McGregor: I was saying that we should also if if there are two candidates for any of these after June seven um, we should also count on doing another taking another whack it to the 11th.

350
00:39:10.410 --> 00:39:13.260
Sima Kostovetsky: hey these are just my suggestions.

351
00:39:13.290 --> 00:39:24.510
Sima Kostovetsky: Because I was so burnt out and honestly like just genuinely upset on behalf of our community about CD 11 that I didn't put this down, but obviously it's still on the table, which is our timing has to cheat.

352
00:39:25.380 --> 00:39:31.560
vicki halliday: I think my oral debate is highly likely and highly needed out here.

353
00:39:35.490 --> 00:39:41.100
vicki halliday: Because Venice is very different from other areas valet and it would be very nice to ask.

354
00:39:42.600 --> 00:39:47.010
vicki halliday: The candidates, you know what they were seeing here yeah.

355
00:39:48.090 --> 00:39:54.150
Sima Kostovetsky: Alright, so let's deal with mayor right let's at least put down some timeframe.

356
00:39:57.450 --> 00:39:58.800
Angela McGregor: right around Labor day.

357
00:39:59.550 --> 00:40:17.220
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes, here's the reality, the summers are tough guys, because people have plans summer vacations The world is opening up even though covert is on the rise, so world is opening up, so my suggestion would be not to do this during the summer at all.

358
00:40:17.640 --> 00:40:18.360
Angela McGregor: So after.

359
00:40:19.140 --> 00:40:19.800
vicki halliday: Labor day.

360
00:40:19.950 --> 00:40:21.450
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah Labor day.

361
00:40:21.510 --> 00:40:21.870
Angela McGregor: yeah.

362
00:40:22.560 --> 00:40:28.380
Christopher Lee: I mean school usually returns into session right around then so fellas back in town and everything.

363
00:40:29.250 --> 00:40:42.840
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah but like i'll give you an example um it's not all about la USD because private schools come back after Labor day so um it's a mixed bag, so my suggestion would be to do it.

364
00:40:44.100 --> 00:40:45.960
Sima Kostovetsky: The second week of September.

365
00:40:46.050 --> 00:40:48.150
Angela McGregor: right with me after Labor day.

366
00:40:48.240 --> 00:40:49.470
Sima Kostovetsky: Right and.

367
00:40:49.530 --> 00:40:52.350
Sima Kostovetsky: You know sort of like getting people back on track.

368
00:40:52.380 --> 00:40:55.080
Sima Kostovetsky: But also we have to be careful with the Jewish holidays.

369
00:40:57.810 --> 00:41:04.590
Sima Kostovetsky: Wait that's like those are the two big things right coming up, but but let's aim and.

370
00:41:04.680 --> 00:41:04.860
Christopher Lee: and

371
00:41:05.640 --> 00:41:07.230
The nice thing for us.

372
00:41:08.850 --> 00:41:09.900
Sima Kostovetsky: have time to.

373
00:41:09.990 --> 00:41:10.380
Sima Kostovetsky: plan.

374
00:41:11.100 --> 00:41:14.430
Sima Kostovetsky: If we pray September, let me pull up a calendar.

375
00:41:15.330 --> 00:41:18.900
Sima Kostovetsky: Give me a second look at the Jewish day.

376
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.370
Christopher Lee: Yes, so.

377
00:41:20.520 --> 00:41:29.340
Christopher Lee: Russia da is September 7 or eighth and Yom Kippur is September 16, and so what is September 21 to 27th.

378
00:41:29.790 --> 00:41:33.420
Sima Kostovetsky: So I would not worry about it, to be honest.

379
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:35.340
Sima Kostovetsky: I would worry about.

380
00:41:35.460 --> 00:41:39.750
Sima Kostovetsky: Russia shawna and young, for I wouldn't worry about.

381
00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:45.330
Sima Kostovetsky: me, I am so impressed with your pronunciation Christopher.

382
00:41:47.040 --> 00:41:54.300
Sima Kostovetsky: But so code, I would not worry about sukkot because it is eight days, but not all of the days are restrictive.

383
00:41:55.050 --> 00:42:02.370
Sima Kostovetsky: So, but as you could see right right away six through the eighth is problematic right and then Yom Kippur war is 10 days later.

384
00:42:02.670 --> 00:42:12.420
Sima Kostovetsky: So, then, we have to look at the vm see calendar and make sure that it doesn't interfere with the third Tuesday of the month, see pap, which is the.

385
00:42:13.170 --> 00:42:32.670
Sima Kostovetsky: Community police meeting, which is the third Wednesday of the month Lou pack, which is also very important to the dnc and homeless committee, so those are kind of like the big four working pieces so looking.

386
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:38.370
Christopher Lee: Given those parameters it's really sometimes the week of the 11th through the 17th.

387
00:42:39.720 --> 00:42:40.200
Christopher Lee: and

388
00:42:40.260 --> 00:42:45.210
Christopher Lee: With our financial consideration that our fiscal and a year and isn't.

389
00:42:46.710 --> 00:42:47.250
Sima Kostovetsky: June.

390
00:42:47.310 --> 00:42:50.700
Sima Kostovetsky: We will have August, we will have everything by our.

391
00:42:50.850 --> 00:43:03.870
Sima Kostovetsky: guests, so I think that if we have our things in a row, like our ducks in a row I August and submit to the city that way, I think that that we should be in good standing that's my assumption.

392
00:43:05.850 --> 00:43:06.300
Sima Kostovetsky: So.

393
00:43:06.330 --> 00:43:09.150
Angela McGregor: week of September 11 through the 17th.

394
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:10.980
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes.

395
00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:12.450
Christopher Lee: So we're looking at yeah.

396
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.670
Angela McGregor: Okay, so.

397
00:43:15.660 --> 00:43:26.790
Sima Kostovetsky: Wait wait wait i'm sorry so yo so Russia shawna i'm looking at the calendar for 2022 verses China is September 25 through the 27th.

398
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:28.650
Christopher Lee: Oh, do I have that wrong.

399
00:43:29.370 --> 00:43:33.960
Sima Kostovetsky: I think you were looking at 2023 Christopher because that's September 15 through the 17th.

400
00:43:34.050 --> 00:43:35.160
Angela McGregor: whence Yom Kippur war.

401
00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:37.860
Sima Kostovetsky: You don't keep Horace October 4 through the fifth.

402
00:43:38.130 --> 00:43:40.260
Angela McGregor: Oh well, then we'll have to worry about either one of them.

403
00:43:40.290 --> 00:43:41.610
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah we don't have to worry about I.

404
00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:44.190
Sima Kostovetsky: Just didn't know if they're late this year.

405
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:46.350
Christopher Lee: so late this year it looks like yeah.

406
00:43:46.620 --> 00:43:49.500
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah so there later this year, so I think.

407
00:43:49.890 --> 00:44:02.970
Angela McGregor: So when I the week after so Labor day is the first Monday, Tuesday and OK, so the week between Labor day and the first be and see me and the dnc meeting in September that's.

408
00:44:03.030 --> 00:44:04.050
Christopher Lee: That sounds like.

409
00:44:04.230 --> 00:44:04.650
Christopher Lee: we're.

410
00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:06.840
Angela McGregor: Still, the 11th through the 17th right.

411
00:44:07.890 --> 00:44:10.050
Sima Kostovetsky: it's the same week we arrived at it differently.

412
00:44:10.620 --> 00:44:19.980
Sima Kostovetsky: just looking at our at the dnc calendar, I know it's further out than we usually post, I just want to get an idea of when.

413
00:44:21.720 --> 00:44:28.320

416
00:44:37.950 --> 00:44:40.920

Sima Kostovetsky: Well let's let's let's give let's see who ends up in the contest, because it will all become much more clear after June, and then we can approach the candidates with.

418
00:44:54.360 --> 00:45:09.240
Sima Kostovetsky: Soon it's going to come down to the candidate, the candidates and our moderator, so I think that if we have a big picture for that week, which is 911 let's start there.

Sima Kostovetsky: mm hmm um let me go to public comments, since we seem to be making a decision on many oral let me go to public comment if there's any for.

Christopher Lee: It we've got Lisa redmond and Helen fallon.

00:45:26.130 --> 00:45:31.080
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, talking about this is specific to item a mayoral.

422
00:45:33.690 --> 00:45:36.210
Sima Kostovetsky: Because we're just talking about dates for the mayoral.

423
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:41.100
Christopher Lee: Both hands are still up so start with Helen yes.

424
00:45:43.290 --> 00:45:47.490
Helen Fallon: I just wanted to point out that you might not want to do 911 and also Thursday.

425
00:45:49.680 --> 00:45:50.700
Helen Fallon: Is that the.

426
00:45:52.170 --> 00:45:52.920
Helen Fallon: economy.

427
00:45:54.690 --> 00:45:57.540
Helen Fallon: If that's just before the third week with the board.

428
00:45:58.950 --> 00:46:00.840
Helen Fallon: So limits your days of that week.

429
00:46:01.050 --> 00:46:07.800
Sima Kostovetsky: Right, which I said we got to look for the big four are you sure that they would have a meeting on the 15th I mean we can we can parse.

430
00:46:08.040 --> 00:46:10.830
Helen Fallon: out or even scheduling APP COM is on Thursdays.

431
00:46:11.100 --> 00:46:14.130
Sima Kostovetsky: right but not but it doesn't happen every Thursday.

432
00:46:14.790 --> 00:46:17.700
Helen Fallon: I think that that's the Thursday before the board meeting.

433
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:22.770
Helen Fallon: yeah they have to get the agenda out by Saturday oh i'm just pointing out that that would be a.

434
00:46:22.770 --> 00:46:27.090
Sima Kostovetsky: COP right right right okay so we're basically 12th or 13th.

435
00:46:28.110 --> 00:46:29.910
Helen Fallon: Now you've got two days that week yeah or.

436
00:46:29.940 --> 00:46:33.480
Helen Fallon: Possibility or do you can do it over the weekend, you don't have to do it during the week.

437
00:46:33.870 --> 00:46:36.330
Sima Kostovetsky: I think we can start tough but that's my personal.

438
00:46:36.570 --> 00:46:38.010
Helen Fallon: might be more convenient for more.

439
00:46:38.040 --> 00:46:39.450
Angela McGregor: Community members true.

440
00:46:40.290 --> 00:46:45.600
Sima Kostovetsky: No, I mean we can we can suggest all that again that's going to come down to the candidates they're afraid, thank you.

441
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:51.780
Angela McGregor: I like the idea that we have some dates in mind, you can start reaching out, you know, in July.

442
00:46:53.250 --> 00:46:54.870
Angela McGregor: And we don't have to be rushed.

443
00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:56.160
Angela McGregor: Exactly yeah.

444
00:46:56.640 --> 00:46:59.580
Sima Kostovetsky: Exactly okay either I.

445
00:47:00.210 --> 00:47:01.410
Christopher Lee: we've got Lisa redmond.

446
00:47:05.010 --> 00:47:22.740
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: yeah I make a suggestion that I understand you need to check with candidates and their availability and all that, but you put together emotion that goes to the board in June, who approved funding for the candidates debate them that way.

447
00:47:23.790 --> 00:47:25.080
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: To the last 30 days.

448
00:47:25.980 --> 00:47:27.120
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: waiting to the last minute.

449
00:47:27.600 --> 00:47:38.970
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: So even if you get the funding and it all goes awry doesn't mean it has to be spent so and you can always forget the day, but if you wait till August.

450
00:47:39.510 --> 00:47:48.180
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: For the last minute again to get it through the board, then you're dealing with those just a few weeks again so just I just trying to be helpful to maybe work in advance.

451
00:47:50.580 --> 00:47:51.720
Christopher Lee: So you're muted.

452
00:47:53.190 --> 00:48:07.860
Sima Kostovetsky: That we noted that as well, I appreciate that Thank you okay um if there's no more comments from the public i'd like to take a vote, and all we are deciding is that right now we're earmarking the week of 911.

453
00:48:11.340 --> 00:48:11.580
Sima Kostovetsky: and

454
00:48:12.120 --> 00:48:12.660
12.

455
00:48:14.970 --> 00:48:16.050
Sima Kostovetsky: Nine wow.

456
00:48:17.130 --> 00:48:20.730
Sima Kostovetsky: How about it's actually it's technically the week of 910.

457
00:48:22.380 --> 00:48:28.410
Sima Kostovetsky: Because that's the Sunday so um yeah so we're earmarking um.

458
00:48:29.490 --> 00:48:33.630
Sima Kostovetsky: Tuesday or Wednesday of that week possibly the weekend.

459
00:48:34.650 --> 00:48:37.920
Sima Kostovetsky: i'm to look at a mayoral candidate forum.

460
00:48:39.150 --> 00:48:43.650

467
00:49:01.860 --> 00:49:03.240
Sima Kostovetsky: Do we even need to.

468
00:49:05.610 --> 00:49:10.440
Sima Kostovetsky: Talk about that, how do you guys feel about county supervisor, how do you guys feel about CD 11.

469
00:49:11.220 --> 00:49:13.620
Angela McGregor: Well, I think CD 11 is essential.

470
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:17.010
Angela McGregor: If there are two candidates.

471
00:49:18.660 --> 00:49:31.410
Angela McGregor: Which they're more than i'm sure they're probably will be, and I think having that debate, can we do it, since the Jewish holidays are so late, can we do with the.

472
00:49:32.670 --> 00:49:37.350
Angela McGregor: When can we get can we also do like September or is that too much to.

473
00:49:38.460 --> 00:49:50.610
Sima Kostovetsky: Do I mean I but let's talk this through vicki Brian do you guys have an opinion, what if we did the mayor all the week of the 12th and then we did.

474
00:49:51.060 --> 00:49:51.240
The.

475
00:49:52.890 --> 00:49:53.700
Sima Kostovetsky: calendar.

476
00:49:57.300 --> 00:50:14.610
Sima Kostovetsky: So the dnc meeting with the on Tuesday the 20th the Jewish holidays are Monday, so they started sundown on Sunday the 25th and they end on Tuesday send down the 27th the we could potentially do it that Wednesday or Thursday.

477
00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:18.300
Angela McGregor: The day after the Van Sunday.

478
00:50:19.500 --> 00:50:21.000
Sima Kostovetsky: No, no, no, the week after.

479
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.550
Christopher Lee: Oh okay 28th.

480
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:29.220
Sima Kostovetsky: So i'm i'm looking at that Thursday the 28th, what do you.

481
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:31.620
Christopher Lee: Sorry, is that the 28th of the 20.

482
00:50:32.940 --> 00:50:35.460
Sima Kostovetsky: Wednesday the 28th Thursday the 29th.

483
00:50:36.240 --> 00:50:38.550
vicki halliday: Well, Thursday, you might have Olympic meeting.

484
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:43.890
vicki halliday: there's a possibility there wednesday's are usually pretty good.

485
00:50:48.510 --> 00:50:50.280
Christopher Lee: One says okay so Wednesday.

486
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:52.650
vicki halliday: But, but why not.

487
00:50:53.910 --> 00:50:57.690
vicki halliday: that's September correct yeah the window October with these guys.

488
00:50:58.200 --> 00:51:02.520
Christopher Lee: So October we have young couple more on October 4 and fifth.

489
00:51:03.630 --> 00:51:11.280
Christopher Lee: And then we have support which begins October nine through 16 I have the correct date now, so the 2020.

490
00:51:11.850 --> 00:51:21.990
Sima Kostovetsky: Again um so code is not as restrictive and to be unless like I mean i'm Jewish so I could speak to this but we're not observant Jews.

491
00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:28.680
Sima Kostovetsky: So Sue code is not a holiday that that we would necessarily observed or such strictness.

492
00:51:29.340 --> 00:51:45.360
Sima Kostovetsky: And so, again, I cannot speak for the rest of the Community, but by the same token, we don't want to be ostracizing Community Members but i'm so it's the Monday shoot I just don't think that the first week will work guys, what about the second week in October.

493
00:51:45.600 --> 00:51:50.010
Christopher Lee: 2 week of October, I think, is strictest on the first two days.

494
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.060
Christopher Lee: Exactly so that would leave Tuesday the 11th.

495
00:51:55.980 --> 00:52:04.830
Sima Kostovetsky: Why don't we take a look at that week vicki Brian anything to add about that, what about doing it, that that second week in October.

496
00:52:05.610 --> 00:52:06.270
vicki halliday: that's good.

497
00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:11.220
vicki halliday: get closer to the November election they're going to be less available.

498
00:52:11.220 --> 00:52:22.380
Christopher Lee: problem and to be clear our meetings our board meetings or third Tuesdays so that puts then add car by the 13th so we really only have the 1112 to 14.

499
00:52:24.510 --> 00:52:26.850
Christopher Lee: On that week as options.

500
00:52:27.630 --> 00:52:28.050
Right.

501
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:39.450
Sima Kostovetsky: and add come also add common Lou pack, we have to be aware of, but again I I genuinely genuinely think that if he kind of.

502
00:52:40.890 --> 00:52:43.500
Sima Kostovetsky: These things will will work themselves out.

503
00:52:44.550 --> 00:53:01.320
Sima Kostovetsky: And I think I also believe that, as a service to our Community, perhaps some meetings can be moved around right like let's say we have three candidates that are available, I think that that can take precedence.

504
00:53:02.340 --> 00:53:03.690
Sima Kostovetsky: that's that's my opinion.

505
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:05.250
Angela McGregor: There won't be more than two.

506
00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:06.210
yeah.

507
00:53:09.690 --> 00:53:10.020
Right.

508
00:53:12.330 --> 00:53:28.590
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay okay so um any public comment we're now speaking about doing a candidate forum under general item of most of the emotion so we're talking about the week of October 10.

509
00:53:29.670 --> 00:53:33.270
Christopher Lee: We have cj Koala card to talk go ahead.

510
00:53:35.070 --> 00:53:45.120
CJ Cole: hey it's the only to validate with their only be there will be one or they'll be to why can't you do more than just one position.

511
00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:51.420
CJ Cole: In Albany I mean you can do a Marion county supervisor.

512
00:53:53.040 --> 00:53:59.850
CJ Cole: CD 11 all on the same one unless you're going to give them each an hour and a half to talk um.

513
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:04.140
CJ Cole: It just doesn't make sense to make them all separate.

514
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:06.270
CJ Cole: Separate nights.

515
00:54:07.620 --> 00:54:14.700
CJ Cole: And weekends aren't bad either you know somebody had one on the weekend, it was really busy I think was Brentwood.

516
00:54:16.680 --> 00:54:17.820
CJ Cole: had quite a few people.

517
00:54:18.330 --> 00:54:37.170
Sima Kostovetsky: right would actually did not brought me to had it during the week because I attended that one um but thank you good points, we can discuss I I personally do not think that mayoral candidates are going to come to a CD 11 candidate forum.

518
00:54:37.200 --> 00:54:45.450
Sima Kostovetsky: that's my personal opinion, I think we have to keep them separate but to your point cj they don't have to be three hours long.

519
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:47.490
Sima Kostovetsky: um.

520
00:54:49.470 --> 00:54:49.860
Angela McGregor: Any i'm.

521
00:54:50.430 --> 00:54:53.490
Sima Kostovetsky: squatting any any committee comments on this.

522
00:54:53.550 --> 00:55:06.210
vicki halliday: yeah see me you could do what we did with Rack, which was to take a week pick a week and do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights and if they're an hour and a half long boom boom boom boom boom.

523
00:55:11.820 --> 00:55:12.870
vicki halliday: And that work that well.

524
00:55:15.870 --> 00:55:18.150
Christopher Lee: I actually really like that suggests and vicki.

525
00:55:20.250 --> 00:55:23.250
vicki halliday: course they can't solicit the 11 debate as well.

526
00:55:25.530 --> 00:55:42.480
vicki halliday: I mean it's like those are the easy ones to cancel but the the other three they went, like that they were they were shorter they were much punchier you got better comments out of the candidates with CD five supervisor and city occur.

527
00:55:43.470 --> 00:55:44.970
Sima Kostovetsky: For they well attended.

528
00:55:45.240 --> 00:55:45.570
yeah.

529
00:55:47.910 --> 00:55:55.200
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, so but we're going to have trouble because, like look so let's say we do we decide on to right.

530
00:55:55.770 --> 00:56:09.150
Sima Kostovetsky: So we could have the mayoral one on one of the two days and Sep tember and then the CD 11 on the second date in September we offer the same option for that week in October, the week of the 10th correct.

531
00:56:09.210 --> 00:56:10.530
vicki halliday: What do you mean same option.

532
00:56:11.220 --> 00:56:19.380
Sima Kostovetsky: I i'm saying we only really have two weeks right one week in September and one week in October, where we can do that before November.

533
00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:22.680
Angela McGregor: So stay do them, both in the same week.

534
00:56:23.040 --> 00:56:26.730
Angela McGregor: Right yeah weekend September and just do them all.

535
00:56:27.030 --> 00:56:28.680
vicki halliday: You know, and if their.

536
00:56:30.210 --> 00:56:33.240
vicki halliday: Committee meetings work around them.

537
00:56:33.510 --> 00:56:34.710
Sima Kostovetsky: that's what I think to.

538
00:56:34.710 --> 00:56:38.460
vicki halliday: me if it were homeless, I would ask right to cancel it live it.

539
00:56:40.230 --> 00:56:55.620
vicki halliday: You know Olympics, the only one that usually has timely issues because of architects and developers and people trying to degree bottles that are really on a time frame and they're still trying to catch up so outside of the loop as.

540
00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:03.270
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, and even add calm could be moved as well because outcome could happen prior to the 72 hours.

541
00:57:03.720 --> 00:57:18.270
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, so, but I still think what my point is, is that we still only have one week, and so we don't we still only have those two weeks we still only have that one week in September that we've identified and that one week in October that we've identified.

542
00:57:20.460 --> 00:57:29.430
Sima Kostovetsky: Stability in October last week in October, but then that gets too close to the primary I mean gets too close to election day November.

543
00:57:29.730 --> 00:57:37.710
Christopher Lee: yeah so to vicky's point that, as it gets closer to November it's going to get busier for them, I would suggest that we can September that we've already evolved.

544
00:57:38.070 --> 00:57:44.910
Sima Kostovetsky: Right, can we amend the motion for a and.

545
00:57:46.080 --> 00:58:13.980
Sima Kostovetsky: Most not really we don't really have emotion, but just so we have a consensus be going out to both the mayoral candidate and the CD 11 candidates that are left to either try to do them all consecutively in the same week so either the week of September 12 or the week of October 10.

546
00:58:14.070 --> 00:58:15.450
Angela McGregor: I would go in September.

547
00:58:15.600 --> 00:58:16.680
vicki halliday: i'm going September.

548
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:21.510
Sima Kostovetsky: So you guys just want to put that out there for September for both okay.

549
00:58:22.080 --> 00:58:27.180
Angela McGregor: And then start by asking the mayoral candidates, because they'll have the probably.

550
00:58:28.170 --> 00:58:42.360
Angela McGregor: You know the bigger schedules and I think that's really important and, once you nail them down, then you can nail down the CD 11 candidates for the dates that are left and they'll only be two and I think 90 minutes for two candidates is plenty.

551
00:58:42.930 --> 00:58:54.360
Angela McGregor: Plenty yeah and also it gets people, we can you don't have to start it too early right, I mean people have to come home and then, if we may be having an in person thing.

552
00:58:54.990 --> 00:58:56.190
Angela McGregor: I hope you don't even know.

553
00:58:56.190 --> 00:58:56.820
Right.

554
00:58:59.940 --> 00:59:01.320
Angela McGregor: brave new world you know.

555
00:59:02.040 --> 00:59:02.610
Christopher Lee: also want to.

556
00:59:03.570 --> 00:59:06.060
Christopher Lee: point out that Helen Helen does have her hand raised.

557
00:59:06.150 --> 00:59:06.750
Angela McGregor: Oh yeah.

558
00:59:09.810 --> 00:59:10.830
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, go ahead Helen.

559
00:59:11.370 --> 00:59:20.190
Helen Fallon: I was just trying to sit to say that I agreed with cj and the I believe the weekend form at least one that was well attended with more investors.

560
00:59:21.060 --> 00:59:30.690
Helen Fallon: And again, it, I believe that Angela just made holding meetings at six 630 interferes with a lot of people's trying to get the kids to bed trying to.

561
00:59:31.380 --> 00:59:37.980
Helen Fallon: deal with things so and then, if runs later people just get tired of something that goes on past nine o'clock so.

562
00:59:38.580 --> 00:59:47.550
Helen Fallon: And I think you guys are focused on the CD 11 candidates, I think that's what's of interest because I think there'll be lots of male debates on the TV, etc.

563
00:59:48.090 --> 01:00:03.630
Helen Fallon: And that's what people look to at least I would for a mural and i'm interested as a constituent here and knowing more about people who are running for the positions that only I could vote for because i'm single.

564
01:00:07.260 --> 01:00:08.610
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you again.

565
01:00:08.670 --> 01:00:09.990
Angela McGregor: I don't think we need to.

566
01:00:09.990 --> 01:00:24.750
Sima Kostovetsky: nail this down right now that date, because we have time and that's why we are starting on this earlier, so we don't get ourselves into trouble, but I think that those are good starting points to go off of, and for this promotion.

567
01:00:25.350 --> 01:00:35.550
vicki halliday: To see mo what we could do is we've discussed it We certainly know what the dates are why don't we wait and have.

568
01:00:36.570 --> 01:00:42.450
vicki halliday: An outreach meeting pretty quick after the gym i'm Mary and then we know what we're looking at.

569
01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:46.650
vicki halliday: in the way of interest, the city attorney.

570
01:00:47.850 --> 01:00:50.040
vicki halliday: race may be a really interesting one.

571
01:00:51.720 --> 01:01:00.630
vicki halliday: So I think why don't you know we've got this in our heads now why don't we just plan on a meeting as quick as we can and we still got time.

572
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:07.500
Sima Kostovetsky: And we can I actually have nothing under new business, so we can talk about dates for our next meeting.

573
01:01:07.650 --> 01:01:09.360
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah which would be important, so.

574
01:01:09.390 --> 01:01:10.860
Sima Kostovetsky: Definitely Thank you vicki.

575
01:01:12.210 --> 01:01:13.680
Christopher Lee: We also have.

576
01:01:14.220 --> 01:01:17.130
Christopher Lee: Helen raised her hand again and Lisa redmond has her hand up.

577
01:01:19.890 --> 01:01:20.940
Sima Kostovetsky: Lisa go ahead.

578
01:01:23.190 --> 01:01:42.060
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: yeah to go Helens point I was to say i'd really love to see a supervisor debate and then there's nothing now that can't prevent you from checking with the dates of candidates now i'm sure rick Russo and Karen bass are already scheduling.

579
01:01:43.350 --> 01:01:44.880
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: they're not waiting till June seven.

580
01:01:45.930 --> 01:01:46.770
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: There so.

581
01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:53.280
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Look at the top candidates and and there's no reason why you can't reach out to them now.

582
01:01:54.060 --> 01:02:03.990
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, I might I again I have to look at our roles in terms of what we're allowed and aren't allowed to do so, thank you for the suggestion and yes.

583
01:02:04.020 --> 01:02:10.290
Sima Kostovetsky: We will go from there, but you know we might be limited in terms of what we can do until after June 7.

584
01:02:13.230 --> 01:02:13.740
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you.

585
01:02:14.850 --> 01:02:17.670
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, any other public comments.

586
01:02:19.020 --> 01:02:20.340
Christopher Lee: I see Helens had as backup.

587
01:02:20.580 --> 01:02:22.980
Sima Kostovetsky: And Helen just spoke about the same issue.

588
01:02:24.300 --> 01:02:25.980
Sima Kostovetsky: How do you have anything new to add.

589
01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:37.410
Helen Fallon: No, I was gonna say I don't believe that constant contact and candidates in June is limited by anything so i'm not sure I understand.

590
01:02:38.550 --> 01:02:40.080
Sima Kostovetsky: you're on a note, thank you.

591
01:02:43.140 --> 01:02:44.970
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you okay.

592
01:02:46.110 --> 01:02:47.040
Sima Kostovetsky: Moving on.

593
01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:59.700
Sima Kostovetsky: So you guys just for now we're tabling the other discussions, the the other.

594
01:03:01.620 --> 01:03:08.310
Sima Kostovetsky: The other town halls because obviously this is taking priority okay so for item seven.

595
01:03:11.730 --> 01:03:14.580
Sima Kostovetsky: um I took this number.

596
01:03:16.200 --> 01:03:31.890
Sima Kostovetsky: $4,800 from last year's budget last year's budget we got $10,800 I asked for an extra $2,000 because i'm assuming that we're going to have in person meetings on some level.

597
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:38.040
Sima Kostovetsky: So in general outreach i'm sure you guys know takes a very large.

598
01:03:38.790 --> 01:03:53.610
Sima Kostovetsky: percentage of budget where we're usually a third, if not more, but just because of what we do like we're we're just everything for all the committee's and you know we have various organizations coming to us for help, so I think that that's legitimate.

599
01:03:54.660 --> 01:03:57.930
Sima Kostovetsky: The copies and printing $800 was left.

600
01:03:57.990 --> 01:03:59.640
Sima Kostovetsky: That I left that alone.

601
01:04:00.660 --> 01:04:05.040
Sima Kostovetsky: Advertising and promotions, I was.

602
01:04:06.900 --> 01:04:07.650
Sima Kostovetsky: Oh, my God.

603
01:04:11.700 --> 01:04:26.760
Sima Kostovetsky: Sorry, I just realized I don't know why it didn't transfer there was $4,000 that was asked for town halls dmc election year, I don't know it made it on the budget, I don't know why it's missing from here my apologies, but it's included in the total of 12,800.

604
01:04:27.180 --> 01:04:29.130
Angela McGregor: Oh yeah i'm wondering.

605
01:04:29.790 --> 01:04:32.010
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah i'm so sorry that was just like.

606
01:04:33.150 --> 01:04:47.070
Sima Kostovetsky: I don't know why that was left off, but advertising and promotions I left the same I up general outreach by 1000 because i'm assuming we will have in person meeting.

607
01:04:47.700 --> 01:05:09.060
Sima Kostovetsky: web upgrades I kept from last year, because we need that as a buffer for any because we get blamed for all the the Web stuff even though, for the record, I want to say that outreach and communications vicki you can back me up on this, we have very little to do with the website these days.

608
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:12.120
Sima Kostovetsky: For the record.

609
01:05:13.590 --> 01:05:14.430
Sima Kostovetsky: Am I wrong.

610
01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:16.230
vicki halliday: you're correct.

611
01:05:17.250 --> 01:05:30.090
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you so um So although we get blamed, we no longer have anything to do with the website, but I wanted to give myself a little bit of money in case based on.

612
01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:39.030
Sima Kostovetsky: constituent concerns, given how the website has been running I we need money to be able to fix that and again.

613
01:05:39.300 --> 01:05:46.410
Sima Kostovetsky: These are all estimates, I want you to make sure, because we don't even have the administrative package, this is from the administrative packet from last year.

614
01:05:46.830 --> 01:05:57.780
Sima Kostovetsky: So i'm just going by numbers that we have requested over the last three years, the route, the reality also vicki out give me one SEC, the reality also for.

615
01:05:59.940 --> 01:06:12.690
Sima Kostovetsky: The reason why I allocated or asked for $4,000 for town halls is because I spend about 1500 dollars 15 to 1700 dollars to promote them, depending on the town hall so.

616
01:06:13.650 --> 01:06:28.920
Sima Kostovetsky: I just allocated that for the year and that's how we end up with a number and advertising and promotions is 1700 dollars for the entire the MC so that means that resiliency can come to me and asked for a chunk of that.

617
01:06:30.120 --> 01:06:38.190
Sima Kostovetsky: homeless committee can come to me and asked for a chunk of that like this is all encompassing because, since we service, the entire the MC vicki yes.

618
01:06:38.820 --> 01:06:49.560
vicki halliday: um since we pretty much agreed last year that the pure Halloween event would be an annual event is that is money for that included in this budget.

619
01:06:50.370 --> 01:06:52.200
Sima Kostovetsky: it's included in general outreach.

620
01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:52.680
Okay.

621
01:06:54.420 --> 01:06:54.780
vicki halliday: Okay.

622
01:06:55.260 --> 01:07:11.460
Christopher Lee: um so I have a question about how we measure efficacy as an outreach committee are we judging us based on more likes on Facebook, are we judging this based on more people coming to our meetings are judging based on increased voter turnout during election years, how do we.

623
01:07:12.600 --> 01:07:21.240
Christopher Lee: qualify our success, not qualify, how do we quantify our success to justify the expenditure is where we're outlining here.

624
01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:27.300
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, at that that is a good point and I think that um.

625
01:07:29.430 --> 01:07:43.320
Sima Kostovetsky: I think that there's a lot of issues that go into this, I think that we can confidently speak to our engagement on social and I, I continue to up our engagement.

626
01:07:44.460 --> 01:07:58.290
Sima Kostovetsky: We are at 1500 people, if not more, between face just on Facebook and instagram alone, we are at 1400 people and Twitter, I cannot tell you like how abysmal.

627
01:07:58.950 --> 01:08:22.020
Sima Kostovetsky: Our engagement was prior to us really stepping up our social interaction and how our website looks and how our social looks I personally make the decision to keep our meetings on rv and see website, because I think it's important for our stakeholders to have access pass meetings.

628
01:08:22.830 --> 01:08:23.220
Christopher Lee: So I.

629
01:08:23.250 --> 01:08:24.420
Sima Kostovetsky: keep our past meetings.

630
01:08:24.510 --> 01:08:41.190
Sima Kostovetsky: on our website, although people ask me questions of why we do, that the meetings are over well what if you need information there's no other way to access it, so I personally have fought to keep our meetings on our B and C site in terms of engagement for our meetings.

631
01:08:43.170 --> 01:08:45.780
Sima Kostovetsky: That is a very hard politically.

632
01:08:47.190 --> 01:08:55.380
Sima Kostovetsky: charged way for me to answer this, I think that our meetings have turned into a bit of a.

633
01:08:58.320 --> 01:09:04.830
Sima Kostovetsky: I think we're not getting a lot accomplished at our meetings and there's a lot of infighting and I think that that's affecting.

634
01:09:06.780 --> 01:09:19.800
Sima Kostovetsky: Our attendance because and, lastly, what I will say is that our town halls and our meetings are well attended, depending on what issues we cover.

635
01:09:20.970 --> 01:09:33.300
Sima Kostovetsky: So let's take one of the Achilles heels in Venice right now right centennial park i'm sure if we had a towel on 17th annual Park, it would be very well attended.

636
01:09:34.950 --> 01:09:37.800
Sima Kostovetsky: So I think that it's issue specific.

637
01:09:38.940 --> 01:09:40.800
Sima Kostovetsky: And it's committee specific.

638
01:09:42.540 --> 01:09:48.030
Sima Kostovetsky: I mean that that's how I I don't I don't have another measurement for.

639
01:09:49.470 --> 01:09:50.730
Sima Kostovetsky: For our engagement.

640
01:09:52.080 --> 01:09:58.410
Christopher Lee: yeah, so I do we have historical data to see that we're trending upwards, with the increases in.

641
01:09:58.800 --> 01:09:59.370
Sima Kostovetsky: outreach much.

642
01:10:00.540 --> 01:10:01.620
Sima Kostovetsky: i'll give you like the.

643
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:11.190
Sima Kostovetsky: The input from let's say the the resiliency committee meeting, I mean the the resiliency town hall, although we probably had.

644
01:10:12.660 --> 01:10:34.410
Sima Kostovetsky: About 60 attendees the engagement that came out of that resiliency town hall was tremendous so 50 people who attended are now involved with the V MC, and that is imaginable, because now we have 50 people that are involved in our committees.

645
01:10:35.940 --> 01:10:51.060
Sima Kostovetsky: And we have people from outreach at the table now from I can speak to three people who are now involved in the MC that we personally reached out to at the farmers market.

646
01:10:53.670 --> 01:10:54.180
Sima Kostovetsky: um.

647
01:10:55.200 --> 01:10:55.680
Sima Kostovetsky: I.

648
01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:00.840
Sima Kostovetsky: Are we looking for metrics what kind of metrics do you guys want.

649
01:11:01.110 --> 01:11:13.470
Christopher Lee: I mean for for me it's not i'm all for continued outreach with an increased budget it's just I want to demonstrate our efficacy, as a committee, and the only way to do that is through quantitative data.

650
01:11:14.040 --> 01:11:15.030
Christopher Lee: So if we.

651
01:11:15.360 --> 01:11:17.100
Christopher Lee: Take a snapshot yeah.

652
01:11:17.730 --> 01:11:33.240
Sima Kostovetsky: i'll give you a quantitative data from June all right, we had the highest attendance, even with the vote by mail ballots, we had the highest attendance and the highest input and the highest.

653
01:11:35.550 --> 01:11:39.090
Sima Kostovetsky: engagement with this last election last June.

654
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:45.360
Sima Kostovetsky: And I know that we were intimately involved with that election in June.

655
01:11:45.810 --> 01:11:46.020
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah.

656
01:11:46.050 --> 01:11:52.470
Sima Kostovetsky: I think that it has been very hard with the meetings, continuing to stay i'm.

657
01:11:54.990 --> 01:11:58.140
Sima Kostovetsky: On zoom I think I.

658
01:11:59.820 --> 01:12:11.370
Sima Kostovetsky: I have mixed feelings about starting back up in person, but I do believe that once we start back on the person we can get better engagement that's that's just my personal take.

659
01:12:11.850 --> 01:12:29.010
Sima Kostovetsky: On things because I think that, while it is convenient we lose personal interaction with people, and I personally yearn for more of that and I think that, once we resume some sort of personal interaction that's.

660
01:12:30.240 --> 01:12:46.860
Sima Kostovetsky: vetted by the city, and that is supported by the city our numbers will start to go up again, because when we stopped our meetings guys, I just want you to know, two years ago, when I was still on this committee and I was still chair, we had over 100 people coming to our meetings.

661
01:12:47.220 --> 01:12:47.610
Angela McGregor: We had.

662
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:49.260
Sima Kostovetsky: At 75.

663
01:12:50.700 --> 01:12:55.890
Sima Kostovetsky: I mean obviously depends on what's on our agenda, and hopefully we don't look like a circus by.

664
01:12:58.230 --> 01:12:58.830
Angela McGregor: Ben is.

665
01:12:59.010 --> 01:13:00.180
The circuit it's always.

666
01:13:02.490 --> 01:13:03.120
The sideshow.

667
01:13:06.900 --> 01:13:07.200
Christopher Lee: Okay.

668
01:13:07.380 --> 01:13:07.920
Christopher Lee: I just.

669
01:13:12.420 --> 01:13:20.010
Sima Kostovetsky: I know you're a data and numbers guy but i'm Brian do you have anything to add about our engagement and how we can start to measure our success.

670
01:13:20.580 --> 01:13:26.400
Brian Averill: I mean, honestly and i'm not saying this because I do a lot of it, the only engagement, I see going up the social media.

671
01:13:26.850 --> 01:13:38.490
Brian Averill: Engagement across the whole the MC is sadly way way down to me, so I don't I don't have the answers to fix it, but I think a lot of it has to do with the the overall Councils.

672
01:13:39.300 --> 01:13:40.410
Sima Kostovetsky: What I see is in effect.

673
01:13:41.280 --> 01:13:45.090
Brian Averill: I don't I don't see people seeing any results from anything we do.

674
01:13:45.660 --> 01:13:55.020
Brian Averill: So I think they just check out, you know people are frazzled after the last two years and different they're not going to see results from us they're going to tune out and then they're not going to watch anything b&c related.

675
01:13:55.620 --> 01:14:05.700
Brian Averill: So I think we're sort of holding on and increasing the viewership on social media but otherwise there's so much room for improvement, I don't even know where to start frankly.

676
01:14:06.030 --> 01:14:08.880
Christopher Lee: Alright, so we got a low bar to work, our way out from.

677
01:14:09.930 --> 01:14:22.530
Brian Averill: i'm saying you know some of it is great social media looks great you know it's quite over quadrupled in the last year, so we have new eyeballs you know we just, we need to show them something we need.

678
01:14:22.590 --> 01:14:39.240
Sima Kostovetsky: A bit, how do we keep people engaged, which I mean that's been the question you know, for two years that i've been here or So how do we keep people engaged, how do we continue to I mean because to brian's point, the last two years have been a lot they've been a lot.

679
01:14:43.140 --> 01:14:49.590
Christopher Lee: I think that's why the metrics are so important to me because, if we see an increase in social, but a fall off an actual meetings.

680
01:14:50.130 --> 01:15:01.500
Christopher Lee: right then where can we better spend this outreach budget to have people driven to meetings in decisions that affect the Community and i'm not asking i'm not asking for an answer right now and just saying.

681
01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:03.390
At some point we should capture.

682
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:16.320
Sima Kostovetsky: But hold on the reality is is that everything that we as outreach have done and have actually spent money on if it's of interest to the Community, we get really good turnout.

683
01:15:17.610 --> 01:15:24.450
Sima Kostovetsky: I just don't know how to fix our meeting turnout at this point, because I think there's some underlying issues that.

684
01:15:26.070 --> 01:15:31.320
Angela McGregor: Well, I mean, like, for instance, the the turnout at the Halloween thing was spectacular.

685
01:15:31.770 --> 01:15:32.670
Sima Kostovetsky: So, yes.

686
01:15:32.910 --> 01:15:48.540
Sima Kostovetsky: We are we responsible for you guys, we had the most engagement, even at our December 4 table at the Venice sign lighting that's why i'm talking about personal interaction right.

687
01:15:48.540 --> 01:15:51.060
Sima Kostovetsky: Because we're kind of like starved for that.

688
01:15:51.930 --> 01:15:54.000
Christopher Lee: And when I I do recall for the.

689
01:15:55.230 --> 01:16:02.670
Christopher Lee: thunder question for how effective, we were so I bring up the quantify this for our stakeholders, just to be like.

690
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.000
Christopher Lee: We did reach 200 people and with the expanded budget.

691
01:16:06.330 --> 01:16:08.820
Christopher Lee: We know we're going to reach 400 people this year we're on track.

692
01:16:08.820 --> 01:16:08.910
To.

693
01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:11.580
Sima Kostovetsky: 50 people come ever.

694
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:12.780
Christopher Lee: Making up mean.

695
01:16:13.350 --> 01:16:13.830
Christopher Lee: i'm making.

696
01:16:14.760 --> 01:16:30.930
Sima Kostovetsky: My numbers, we have 350 people come through our Halloween party, and that is outside of all the groups that we involved that doesn't like and i'm not even talking about the electric light parade right, which was a huge sort of part of.

697
01:16:32.340 --> 01:16:44.910
Sima Kostovetsky: I mean at that, at that point right we had, I mean we had 10 kids I mean you, you know, whoever was there, saw that you know I mean we went through keep.

698
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:57.330
Sima Kostovetsky: Forgive me, I don't quote me on this, but with the bike likes that we did in conjunction with lapd and the fact that our tables were right across from each other.

699
01:16:57.810 --> 01:17:13.980
Sima Kostovetsky: We went through 700 bike lights, you know, in the first two hours of the vendor sign lighting and that to me was a big safety concern, and when we work together with lapd that was like huge.

700
01:17:15.030 --> 01:17:15.450
we're just.

701
01:17:16.590 --> 01:17:26.730
Sima Kostovetsky: So I would like to have more of that I would love to partner how about this that's a great point we would love to partner more with let's say REX and parks right.

702
01:17:27.120 --> 01:17:44.460
Sima Kostovetsky: We would love to partner more with other community groups in Venice and that will increase our engagement to we're just we're just limited again guys, I want to point out that as an MC we're limited as to what we can do and how we can spend our money so.

703
01:17:46.710 --> 01:17:47.610
Sima Kostovetsky: that's where we are.

704
01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:49.320
Sima Kostovetsky: So.

705
01:17:49.980 --> 01:17:55.800
Brian Averill: Please, if you guys want to if you're worried about increasing the viewership of the board meeting.

706
01:17:56.760 --> 01:18:03.990
Brian Averill: there's some really basic things to do than it should be done at icon, for instance, the budget stuff that you open the meetings with.

707
01:18:04.470 --> 01:18:20.040
Brian Averill: No put it at the end nobody wants to watch that but everyone knows what four or five agenda items, the Community is interested in put those up top so when they tune in you do, that no one wants to watch you guys talk about the budget for 20 minutes trust me so.

708
01:18:20.190 --> 01:18:20.850
Brian Averill: it's, not us.

709
01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:25.680
Brian Averill: that's obviously an ad COMP thing but i'm sure 99% of the public would agree with that.

710
01:18:25.950 --> 01:18:32.100
Christopher Lee: So we've been talking about our budget for 20 minutes and I see, we have two hands raise should we start shifting to the public input.

711
01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:45.900
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah, yes, but I wanted to make sure that we as a Community understood where our money is spent, even though $4,000 was left off for my own typo but it's included in the total.

712
01:18:46.200 --> 01:18:48.900
Brian Averill: amount, so I got the general board the general board minutes.

713
01:18:48.930 --> 01:18:49.770
Brian Averill: You could shuffle the.

714
01:18:50.070 --> 01:19:07.350
Sima Kostovetsky: That and make it more user friendly and again, these can be shuffled okay and look and the reality is I don't know if i'm going to get all this money come come my but you know come the board meeting, but that is where I am as outreach chair, and this is what i've asked for.

715
01:19:09.330 --> 01:19:17.130
Sima Kostovetsky: So before we we go to committee voting let's open it up to the public, we have two hands raised.

716
01:19:19.950 --> 01:19:20.250
Christopher Lee: At least.

717
01:19:22.800 --> 01:19:25.500
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: yeah I have a suggestion on making.

718
01:19:26.550 --> 01:19:28.980
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: More attendance will other than what Brian said.

719
01:19:30.510 --> 01:19:43.050
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Is people need coaches were created to be the most accessible way for the constituents and stakeholders involved, and I think people tune in and see us and other government thing I built Berta.

720
01:19:44.010 --> 01:19:51.600
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: We made a video on how to do a zoom meeting, why not make a video on how to create a basic agenda item and emotion.

721
01:19:51.900 --> 01:20:02.670
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: People don't realize that this is accessible that anybody can write emotion anybody can get their concerns you know from a new stop sign speed bumps to getting rid of homeless and commitments.

722
01:20:03.900 --> 01:20:12.780
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Anything that that I just I don't think people realize that they can access and be part of the government at the easiest level right here.

723
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:19.080
Sima Kostovetsky: So you're talking about doing like an accessibility video right well Skype.

724
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:31.410
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: or or create tutorials to have on the website and then social media to connect people to those tutorial something that shows people how accessible a neighborhood Council is.

725
01:20:32.460 --> 01:20:39.420
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: And that would gauge people and they would get their neighbors to come and say hey my budget for the STOP sign at the end of the block is on board.

726
01:20:42.360 --> 01:20:48.600
Sima Kostovetsky: We have a bigger issue right now where we don't really know who to turn to and CD 11 To be honest, because.

727
01:20:48.630 --> 01:21:01.830
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: No female it's not having to do with the STOP signs or who's going to do it or not, i'm just saying that get people show people that they can create motions for the neighborhood Council get people involved.

728
01:21:03.030 --> 01:21:03.390
Sima Kostovetsky: Oh.

729
01:21:03.630 --> 01:21:04.890
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: that's a few people realize that.

730
01:21:05.160 --> 01:21:06.090
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: But i'm saying you.

731
01:21:07.080 --> 01:21:09.330
Sima Kostovetsky: know no I get it Thank you that's a good point.

732
01:21:09.810 --> 01:21:11.760
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay um.

733
01:21:12.930 --> 01:21:15.360
Sima Kostovetsky: And Helen.

734
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:31.950
Helen Fallon: was following up on two things i'm following up on christopher's comment, and I think I understood what I understood in asking for about metrics is when you spend $500 on let's say yo.

735
01:21:34.020 --> 01:21:44.580
Helen Fallon: How many people are ending up coming to the event because of your business, you have no idea Western banners on West my current.

736
01:21:45.180 --> 01:21:55.500
Helen Fallon: Are we doing anything to find out how many people they sent out how many E blast to how many people and how many of those people ended up being at the event.

737
01:21:56.160 --> 01:22:07.170
Helen Fallon: and participating if we're only getting two people who show up at something, and you spend $500 for it it's ineffective period and you got to find other places to advertise.

738
01:22:08.970 --> 01:22:23.880
Helen Fallon: I also i'll comment on why I think people are coming to meetings in general is because our committees are populated by board members and all people always seems to be the same people is very few stakeholders and don't have.

739
01:22:24.900 --> 01:22:36.120
Helen Fallon: A habit, or they don't feel welcome, I mean they get there one minute, they get shut down and that's it they don't go back they figure out how to get they asked other people how to get things done.

740
01:22:36.690 --> 01:22:50.220
Helen Fallon: That is our job that is the job of the dnc I reasons really right about that to teach people how to be more effective in their community to get things to happen, and this dnc doesn't do that.

741
01:22:51.480 --> 01:22:59.730
Helen Fallon: You know, all you look at the committee's they're all the same people and they're all friends of the board member or friends or the President or board members.

742
01:23:01.170 --> 01:23:03.570
Helen Fallon: One involvement, you said you had 50 people.

743
01:23:04.620 --> 01:23:06.270
Helen Fallon: got involved where Sema.

744
01:23:07.350 --> 01:23:14.520
Helen Fallon: Are they showing up at committee meetings and talking I haven't seen him I got enough meetings wasn't enough of the videos nobody's going to show up.

745
01:23:15.360 --> 01:23:25.980
Helen Fallon: it's it's go to our distance they have turnout it get 50 to 75 people at some of their committee meetings, because they all can speak and they all can participate, have a say.

746
01:23:28.290 --> 01:23:41.100
Helen Fallon: And I would like to know what we're spending is it is actually effective and i'd also like to know why you guys haven't why the website is so such a mess and why.

747
01:23:41.790 --> 01:23:52.650
Helen Fallon: It isn't being fixed now because we pay web corner, a couple hundred dollars a month to fix the problems so what's going on here is that an outreach responsibility.

748
01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:55.800
Helen Fallon: If it's not knows responsibility, so we can get them to do it.

749
01:23:56.640 --> 01:24:00.300
Sima Kostovetsky: that's why I said the website is no longer our purview.

750
01:24:00.330 --> 01:24:02.850
Helen Fallon: So if you visit Saima.

751
01:24:03.480 --> 01:24:05.940
Helen Fallon: yeah somebody responsible for it we're.

752
01:24:05.940 --> 01:24:09.210
Helen Fallon: Paying $100 for a year yeah.

753
01:24:09.810 --> 01:24:11.250
Sima Kostovetsky: Jim Jim.

754
01:24:12.180 --> 01:24:16.980
Helen Fallon: Well then, why is it taking it, why do you think he Why is he taking it away from you you're the communications.

755
01:24:19.980 --> 01:24:20.730
vicki halliday: I think this.

756
01:24:22.290 --> 01:24:25.950
vicki halliday: I don't think we should be discussing this year Saima.

757
01:24:26.790 --> 01:24:28.050
Sima Kostovetsky: i'm with you, I.

758
01:24:28.500 --> 01:24:30.300
vicki halliday: I if you want me to leave the meeting I.

759
01:24:30.300 --> 01:24:30.660
vicki halliday: Will.

760
01:24:31.050 --> 01:24:33.330
vicki halliday: want to get into political aspects of who's doing.

761
01:24:33.780 --> 01:24:51.300
Sima Kostovetsky: Something website I Helen, thank you for your comment, I said what I said that we're no longer responsible for the website, and that is where we are we're happy to take suggestions as to outreach and what we can change.

762
01:24:52.890 --> 01:24:54.300
Sima Kostovetsky: And we will go from there.

763
01:24:55.980 --> 01:24:56.400
Thank you.

764
01:25:03.420 --> 01:25:03.870
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay.

765
01:25:05.700 --> 01:25:08.160
Sima Kostovetsky: Can I can we vote on the budget.

766
01:25:09.900 --> 01:25:15.450
Sima Kostovetsky: Again, my big thing is that we need this vote this isn't coming up tomorrow at.

767
01:25:16.890 --> 01:25:22.980
Sima Kostovetsky: At budget so we can fine tune this a little bit, this is not on board for tomorrow, because we have not gotten.

768
01:25:23.550 --> 01:25:37.470
Sima Kostovetsky: The administrative packet yet, but I wanted us because part of what general outreach is also going to do you guys is some of the money gets shifted for our dnc elections, so I want us to be aware of that.

769
01:25:38.670 --> 01:25:40.830
Sima Kostovetsky: um so.

770
01:25:41.970 --> 01:25:50.280
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah I only asked for 1000 extra dollars in general outreach and 1000 extra dollars for.

771
01:25:52.290 --> 01:25:54.150
Sima Kostovetsky: Assuming that we're going to have them in person.

772
01:25:55.590 --> 01:25:56.100
So.

773
01:25:58.440 --> 01:26:13.140
Sima Kostovetsky: And again, I don't want I want the participants to know that I have taken notes and we will do what we can as outreach given suggestions, but we don't work in a vacuum.

774
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:31.260
Sima Kostovetsky: Can we take a vote roll call on budget and all i'm asking for is that the the big number and again this can change this, this can change at the board level, and this can change a budget, this is like my wish list.

775
01:26:33.150 --> 01:26:35.520
Sima Kostovetsky: um okay so vicki.

776
01:26:35.850 --> 01:26:36.660
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes or no.

777
01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:38.850
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes, thank you Angela.

778
01:26:39.120 --> 01:26:39.750
Yes.

779
01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:42.210
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you, Christopher.

780
01:26:43.380 --> 01:26:46.350
Christopher Lee: Just with the caveat that we tonight about metrics later.

781
01:26:47.730 --> 01:26:52.290
Sima Kostovetsky: problem, thank you, I know you will you I know you say you will be on me with that.

782
01:26:52.890 --> 01:26:53.460
Brian.

783
01:26:56.160 --> 01:26:56.760
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you.

784
01:27:00.150 --> 01:27:02.070
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, very good moving on.

785
01:27:03.240 --> 01:27:10.260
Sima Kostovetsky: um this is for the rest of this year, so this 1600 dollars.

786
01:27:11.130 --> 01:27:23.970
Sima Kostovetsky: was my way to make sure that we have enough money to promote the elections, the June 7 election right which are statewide elections I need money to promote that I don't even have money to buy.

787
01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:34.620
Sima Kostovetsky: Paper right now, so if we want to do flyers, especially if we want to do it at outreach table whole foods rose wherever we decide.

788
01:27:35.130 --> 01:27:46.260
Sima Kostovetsky: I need money for that and we don't have that much time you guys and I sent you links here that talk about dates for the June 7 election.

789
01:27:46.770 --> 01:27:58.560
Sima Kostovetsky: They are confusing so part of what we're going to need to do is educate the public on all the dates and all the different elections and make sure that we stay in partial.

790
01:27:59.250 --> 01:28:09.600
Sima Kostovetsky: um but, like, for example, um the vote by mail deadline is June 1 where you can request your balance.

791
01:28:09.900 --> 01:28:26.580
Sima Kostovetsky: But that doesn't necessarily mean that if you haven't gotten your ballot you don't have an opportunity to vote because there's something called same day, where you can go to the actual polling place and have an opportunity to vote if you can prove your resident.

792
01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:44.040
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah exactly so um and we need a vm see banner we don't have anything so like, can you imagine i'm going to be standing at whole foods with just rv and see all we have is a tablecloth at this point.

793
01:28:44.580 --> 01:28:59.730
Sima Kostovetsky: We have an old banner I think it's like five years old it's not even our vlc logo anymore it's our old logo, so I do think that we need to spend money on a banner, and that will cost us somewhere between two and $300.

794
01:29:02.490 --> 01:29:17.940
Sima Kostovetsky: So that is important and we need printing and copying the flyers for promotions on June for June seven and then since we decided to do the candidate forums after August.

795
01:29:19.140 --> 01:29:26.340
Sima Kostovetsky: I it's no I still have money in my budget My point is, is that I wanted to be on board about what it's going to take.

796
01:29:30.150 --> 01:29:30.360
Okay.

797
01:29:32.190 --> 01:29:34.860
Sima Kostovetsky: Does that make sense any questions from my committee.

798
01:29:36.300 --> 01:29:46.590
vicki halliday: My only the only thing I would question is the printing and copying of flyers for promotions because right now all of our mailboxes are inundated.

799
01:29:47.610 --> 01:29:59.760
vicki halliday: um I mean the flyers that are coming out everybody's getting out the vote it's candidates, but it's also getting out the vote i'm not so sure we need to waste trees.

800
01:30:01.020 --> 01:30:01.500
vicki halliday: To.

801
01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:07.680
vicki halliday: to supply more fodder for mailboxes that's just me because i'm seeing so much of it yeah.

802
01:30:08.160 --> 01:30:09.390
Christopher Lee: agreed with on vicki.

803
01:30:10.440 --> 01:30:21.630
Sima Kostovetsky: I agree with you, I just I just know that some of the requests that are coming from other committees, and they need money to print stuff like i'll give you resiliency resiliency needs money to print stuff.

804
01:30:22.770 --> 01:30:33.630
Sima Kostovetsky: So I I don't know how to not Do you know what I mean, because I know they weren't at our budget meeting, so I can only take out money from outreach forgive me, I use June 7 as as a.

805
01:30:35.820 --> 01:30:42.510
Sima Kostovetsky: As an example, but like resiliency when they do their flyers with their scan codes.

806
01:30:43.980 --> 01:30:45.780
Sima Kostovetsky: They don't have money to print anything.

807
01:30:46.440 --> 01:30:46.710
well.

808
01:30:48.570 --> 01:30:55.290
vicki halliday: The way this is written, I would just take out June 7 elections because that's that's what I thought the money was going for.

809
01:30:55.590 --> 01:31:02.550
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, forgive me, I use that as an example because, like I knew that we would be promoting certain dates i'm happy to take that.

810
01:31:02.580 --> 01:31:04.020
vicki halliday: out just put IE.

811
01:31:04.530 --> 01:31:06.180
vicki halliday: I mean, I can example yeah.

812
01:31:06.360 --> 01:31:08.820
vicki halliday: You know, I was going for those elections.

813
01:31:08.820 --> 01:31:10.020
vicki halliday: And i'm telling.

814
01:31:10.770 --> 01:31:16.560
Sima Kostovetsky: me I just meant that, as I meant that as a as an example you're right Thank you vicki.

815
01:31:19.320 --> 01:31:27.750
Sima Kostovetsky: But, obviously, we will not spend all this money, we will not spend 1600 dollars without a candidate forum in the summer so that number is going to be much less I mean.

816
01:31:28.080 --> 01:31:45.990
Sima Kostovetsky: I anticipate that number being closer to five or $600 I just needed room in my budget to make sure that this happens so again I don't think we have to be that specific, but I wanted to be on you know very upfront about where we were spending the money.

817
01:31:49.140 --> 01:31:50.250
Sima Kostovetsky: Does that make sense.

818
01:31:52.590 --> 01:32:09.840
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes, no maybe okay all right um can we, so let me amend this motion if it's okay with you guys, so I will just ask for $800 which is inclusive of copying and printing for other committees.

Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you.

867
01:36:19.080 --> 01:36:19.560
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay.

01:36:25.980 --> 01:36:28.410
Sima Kostovetsky: Can we move on.

869
01:36:30.060 --> 01:36:32.490
Sima Kostovetsky: I am drafting a motion.

870
01:36:35.550 --> 01:36:38.430
Sima Kostovetsky: Wait sorry I cannot share my screen, the moment.

871
01:36:43.260 --> 01:36:45.030
Sima Kostovetsky: You guys give me a minute to.

872
01:36:45.060 --> 01:36:46.020
pick this up.

873
01:36:48.030 --> 01:36:49.470
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay um.

874
01:36:50.910 --> 01:36:59.910
Sima Kostovetsky: The can we move on to Item eight for the time being, because this is this has to do with how we're promoting the election on Jews and having.

875
01:37:06.900 --> 01:37:09.990
Sima Kostovetsky: You guys read any of the documents that I attached.

876
01:37:16.470 --> 01:37:18.180
Sima Kostovetsky: we're dealing with the timelines.

877
01:37:28.500 --> 01:37:29.160
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes.

878
01:37:29.490 --> 01:37:30.330
Christopher Lee: opening them now.

879
01:37:32.040 --> 01:37:33.990
Christopher Lee: So we have for reference.

880
01:37:37.080 --> 01:37:40.950
Sima Kostovetsky: So one of them was a ktla kind of little cheat sheet I.

881
01:37:41.340 --> 01:37:53.220
Sima Kostovetsky: I put that out there, because I felt like they kind of explained it the better the best way possible, but I have something from the state of California, and I also have from the county register the dates as well.

882
01:38:18.240 --> 01:38:19.140
Sima Kostovetsky: guys need a minute.

883
01:38:22.770 --> 01:38:26.280
Brian Averill: So what are we proposing here we're proposing sort of a.

884
01:38:26.430 --> 01:38:27.780
Sima Kostovetsky: cheat sheet if we're not.

885
01:38:27.810 --> 01:38:43.170
Sima Kostovetsky: we're not proposing anything I just feel like and, by the way we have 15 minutes until I, I said that we would do a hard stop at 830 I I need a look, I need help and promoting June 7 elections.

886
01:38:46.920 --> 01:38:50.340
Brian Averill: Right so could we help by making a cheat sheet.

887
01:38:51.870 --> 01:39:01.680
Brian Averill: Here the important dates here's where you go here's how to do it with all the appropriate links for an e blast for the website and then I can do the social stuff so.

888
01:39:02.070 --> 01:39:12.090
Sima Kostovetsky: Right, which is why I attached the important dates from the state of California and from the registered the La county registrar's office.

889
01:39:13.770 --> 01:39:17.130
Brian Averill: Well, the dates are what they are, but we need to share it with the stakeholders.

890
01:39:17.190 --> 01:39:22.740
Sima Kostovetsky: And the most, but my question for you guys is how do you want to unroll.

891
01:39:24.030 --> 01:39:25.290
How do you want to roll this out.

892
01:39:28.320 --> 01:39:30.000
Christopher Lee: So when are we doing the black.

893
01:39:30.540 --> 01:39:33.030
Sima Kostovetsky: When are we doing the.

894
01:39:34.290 --> 01:39:42.390
Sima Kostovetsky: The social media when are we doing how're we advertising this, how are we posting this.

895
01:39:47.850 --> 01:39:52.890
Brian Averill: I mean the social media is easy it's easy to blast these important dates out to people.

896
01:39:53.310 --> 01:40:05.430
Brian Averill: I think there should be an e blast and or something on the website with all of these links, so if people want to read about it, they can read about it, I think you're essentially the cliff notes for the stakeholders, if they want it.

897
01:40:06.420 --> 01:40:07.260
Exactly.

898
01:40:08.820 --> 01:40:11.880
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, so do we basically copy the document.

899
01:40:12.900 --> 01:40:15.750
Sima Kostovetsky: Christopher Would you mind clicking on the.

900
01:40:20.460 --> 01:40:21.720
Sima Kostovetsky: Can you pull up my agenda.

901
01:40:22.710 --> 01:40:23.820
Christopher Lee: yeah give me one second.

902
01:40:37.830 --> 01:40:38.940
Christopher Lee: Which one do one of you first.

903
01:40:39.990 --> 01:40:45.120
Sima Kostovetsky: And let's go to the California SOS that's from the state of California.

904
01:40:56.850 --> 01:40:57.270
Christopher Lee: Correct.

905
01:40:58.260 --> 01:40:59.310
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes, thank you.

906
01:41:01.020 --> 01:41:01.770
Sima Kostovetsky: So.

907
01:41:03.810 --> 01:41:08.430
Sima Kostovetsky: Do you guys like putting this up on our website, the quick facts.

908
01:41:14.610 --> 01:41:16.920
Sima Kostovetsky: And I would go off of this.

909
01:41:18.030 --> 01:41:19.680
Sima Kostovetsky: If we were going to promote you know.

910
01:41:22.500 --> 01:41:23.250
Brian Averill: Those dates.

911
01:41:23.970 --> 01:41:25.170
Sima Kostovetsky: Those dates right there.

912
01:41:25.890 --> 01:41:27.240
Brian Averill: So feel this is good.

913
01:41:27.990 --> 01:41:28.290
Okay.

914
01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:47.880
Sima Kostovetsky: All right, so that makes it simple, so we post on our website, we start to go out socially to remind people to request their balance right, so we basically just do a cheap key of the important dates which is at the bottom of that we post this on our front page.

915
01:41:50.190 --> 01:41:59.400
Sima Kostovetsky: i'm part of what I think is important, and you guys, we can discuss this, but like i'll give you a perfect example um.

916
01:42:02.940 --> 01:42:06.210
Sima Kostovetsky: blue sky you know dropped out of the race.

917
01:42:07.260 --> 01:42:12.660
Sima Kostovetsky: And he endorsed rick caruso but he's still on the ballot.

918
01:42:14.310 --> 01:42:25.560
Sima Kostovetsky: So how do we start to inform our constituents that certain people are off the balance or is that something that we can't even deal with.

919
01:42:27.210 --> 01:42:28.620
Brian Averill: get into that personal.

920
01:42:30.540 --> 01:42:30.900
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay.

921
01:42:31.440 --> 01:42:32.340
Brian Averill: All right, that's.

922
01:42:34.320 --> 01:42:45.180
Sima Kostovetsky: So I think that, to make sure that we remain impartial, which is what we did during the rollout for the last election that just happened for State Assembly.

923
01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:49.470
Sima Kostovetsky: And we stick to.

924
01:42:52.560 --> 01:43:01.950
Sima Kostovetsky: What is official through the California registrar's office and the California state office, which is what i've listed.

925
01:43:03.360 --> 01:43:12.870
Sima Kostovetsky: I think we I think that's what we do, I think we we put on relevant information which is la vote.gov which is i'm sorry Christopher can you go back down to number he.

926
01:43:26.370 --> 01:43:33.780
Sima Kostovetsky: gives you like date like this is an important website because that's de la county registrar's office so.

927
01:43:34.650 --> 01:43:48.720
Sima Kostovetsky: They have all kinds of important information like forums election results find my election information and then like, for example, click on June seven statewide direct primary election that will give you all the information for that date, you see.

928
01:43:52.770 --> 01:44:06.750
Sima Kostovetsky: But I think we just need to post all that right, and if, as long as we have that on our website on the on the dnc site, we just point that, through our e blast and through our social media.

929
01:44:07.830 --> 01:44:08.340
vicki halliday: yeah I would.

930
01:44:08.790 --> 01:44:10.110
vicki halliday: like this.

931
01:44:10.200 --> 01:44:13.320
vicki halliday: I wouldn't promote it on social media, I would just post it.

932
01:44:16.230 --> 01:44:18.660
Brian Averill: Well, we couldn't put it on social media, and so they go to the website to.

933
01:44:18.660 --> 01:44:20.550
Brian Averill: check out all the actual yeah measure.

934
01:44:22.020 --> 01:44:26.580
Brian Averill: social media to me, is just to spotlight things and steer them in the right direction yeah.

935
01:44:27.270 --> 01:44:27.630
Sima Kostovetsky: Like.

936
01:44:28.320 --> 01:44:29.520
Brian Averill: six paragraphs on.

937
01:44:29.790 --> 01:44:36.450
Sima Kostovetsky: No, no, no, of course, not of course not well that's why I wanted to distill the information to make it as simple as possible.

938
01:44:36.990 --> 01:44:42.150
Brian Averill: yep and I would definitely stick with the official government websites like not ktla, for instance.

939
01:44:44.310 --> 01:44:49.650
Sima Kostovetsky: I said it's a chichi just for us because I liked how they they kind of you know, put it down.

940
01:44:51.090 --> 01:44:54.360
Brian Averill: To two or three out of the four of them are great just skip the.

941
01:44:54.720 --> 01:45:04.800
Sima Kostovetsky: it's just three three out of four and, last but not least, do you guys think that we should list the different elections that are going on.

942
01:45:06.600 --> 01:45:07.350
vicki halliday: What do you mean like.

943
01:45:08.280 --> 01:45:10.410
Sima Kostovetsky: They are all improvised our.

944
01:45:10.440 --> 01:45:11.340

vicki halliday: I mean.

949
01:45:17.580 --> 01:45:17.790
it's.

950
01:45:19.620 --> 01:45:23.910
vicki halliday: it's their personal research to know about judges, I mean.

951
01:45:23.940 --> 01:45:25.530
vicki halliday: it's forever long.

952
01:45:26.220 --> 01:45:32.280
vicki halliday: stuff that we know nothing about, and you know with the state judges and stuff like that so it's a lot.

953
01:45:32.730 --> 01:45:33.540
Sima Kostovetsky: We can do.

954
01:45:34.620 --> 01:45:46.800
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah I mean all we can, that I guess that to your point vicki our Community Members are asking for cheat sheets and I don't know how to give that to them.

955
01:45:47.940 --> 01:45:49.830
vicki halliday: it's, I can tell you.

956
01:45:52.230 --> 01:45:56.550
vicki halliday: If you write sort of a voter's guide because of.

957
01:45:56.700 --> 01:45:57.780
Sima Kostovetsky: The number any and.

958
01:45:58.890 --> 01:46:00.990
vicki halliday: it's because of the number of candidates.

959
01:46:01.500 --> 01:46:20.700
vicki halliday: On the ballot you can't just do a voter information sheet that's rick Russo Karen bass you gotta do everybody who's listed a met ballot equally and that means whatever information you're giving you that a look it up on every one off of the research is it's huge.

960
01:46:24.090 --> 01:46:24.390
Brian Averill: yeah we.

961
01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:33.150

962
01:46:33.840 --> 01:46:36.810
Brian Averill: So individual candidates that's.

963
01:46:37.140 --> 01:46:48.630
Angela McGregor: I think all we can reasonably be expected to do is just promote the deadlines and to some extent the how to and that's it, I mean.

964
01:46:49.830 --> 01:47:07.110
Angela McGregor: You know same thing same here there, so it this ballot is NUTS when if we get into the weeds of okay this candidate isn't running or this happened, or this guy you know forget it that's and we have two weeks.

Sima Kostovetsky: I did I I did not put that out there with any political leanings I just did that, because when I did my Google search that's what came up with the most amount of information that's why I included that last.

970
01:47:31.770 --> 01:47:36.150
Brian Averill: scene, where there's an old Russian saying that you could feed somebody but you can't shoot the food for them.

1015
01:53:00.030 --> 01:53:11.820
Christopher Lee: Just a point of clarification, while we are in this kind of limbo for any artwork that is representative of the dnc just require approval board approval.

1016
01:53:12.960 --> 01:53:15.090
Christopher Lee: Before it just gets printed in posted anywhere.

1017
01:53:18.930 --> 01:53:25.200
Brian Averill: Good question, I mean I usually just send it to Sema and that's about are you talking about like lawn signs and the sort of thing you're talking about.

1018
01:53:25.260 --> 01:53:27.030
Christopher Lee: And this banner that she's talking about.

1019
01:53:28.140 --> 01:53:36.840
vicki halliday: The banner is just to be using outreach tables and stuff wherever there is outreach going on, because the one we have is really old.

1020
01:53:38.670 --> 01:53:42.210
vicki halliday: In our new logo, this is just you know getting our new logo.

01:53:49.830 --> 01:53:50.970
vicki halliday: that's something she can do.

1024
01:53:52.500 --> 01:53:59.340
Christopher Lee: Okay, I promoted her to panelist and it looks like we have two hands up from the public now Helen fallon and Mike bravo.

1025
01:54:00.420 --> 01:54:01.470
Christopher Lee: So Steve are you back.

1026

Sima Kostovetsky: i'm back, can you guys hear me.

1027
01:54:04.320 --> 01:54:08.760
Sima Kostovetsky: Yes, okay Thank you, Sir, thank you for your patience, I did warn you that my.

1028
01:54:09.090 --> 01:54:09.510
Sima Kostovetsky: wife I.

1029
01:54:09.540 --> 01:54:10.650
Angela McGregor: could go out and.

1030
01:54:10.890 --> 01:54:14.700
Sima Kostovetsky: It tends to go out like very similar times it's very strange.

1031
01:54:15.330 --> 01:54:17.190
Christopher Lee: He said a hard stop at 830 so.

1032
01:54:17.370 --> 01:54:17.700
The last.

1033
01:54:19.350 --> 01:54:36.210
Sima Kostovetsky: Two minutes for me to get back to get back on um yes, so the banner just has to match our our new our new stuff because it was it's never been done, and we need something, because we have nothing we have nothing other than our table cloths right now.

1034
01:54:36.690 --> 01:54:42.060
Christopher Lee: got it and I was just asking everyone does that need to be approved by us, you just approve it does a board need to prove it.

1035
01:54:42.510 --> 01:54:48.840
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, I i'm happy to send you the design and the board, so this is my understanding.

1036
01:54:49.950 --> 01:54:56.430
Sima Kostovetsky: I have a general outreach budget, and this falls under general outreach it is.

1037
01:54:58.410 --> 01:55:04.380
Sima Kostovetsky: that's, this is what it falls under and it's still under my fiscal budget responsibility.

1038
01:55:05.100 --> 01:55:13.050
Sima Kostovetsky: So if I need to ask for a line item I can't do it by tomorrow, but I wanted us as a board to be on board.

1039
01:55:13.680 --> 01:55:28.950
Sima Kostovetsky: So it is my understanding that I can still get this approved, based on my fiscal budget through the end of the year, so we have an ability to purchase this, so we have it through the summer by June 20, that is, the banner.

1040
01:55:29.700 --> 01:55:46.800
Sima Kostovetsky: It is also my understanding that under general outreach because I have office expenses and I haven't used my entire budget, I am able to print and copy items that are necessary for general outreach.

1041
01:55:46.890 --> 01:55:51.780
Christopher Lee: point of clarification, it wasn't about the printing out the actual design so i'd love to see the design when.

1042
01:55:51.780 --> 01:56:08.730
Sima Kostovetsky: it's funny yeah and and Brian you're gonna be you're gonna be very much involved in this, because all we're doing is a scan to our website, the V and our and all of our handles that is all we're doing the MC so we have a presence.

1043
01:56:09.570 --> 01:56:13.200
Sima Kostovetsky: That is all that we are doing with the banner, this is not specific.

1044
01:56:13.710 --> 01:56:16.200
vicki halliday: And this is the existing logo correct.

1045
01:56:16.290 --> 01:56:16.830
Angela McGregor: Yes.

1046
01:56:17.640 --> 01:56:26.220
Sima Kostovetsky: The Orange the orange logo and rv MC site and basically everything that we do on our e blast and so forth okay.

1047
01:56:26.670 --> 01:56:29.190
Brian Averill: Chris will not designing a new logo or anything like that.

1048
01:56:29.460 --> 01:56:33.810
Brian Averill: No existing on on to a banner cool but.

1049
01:56:34.890 --> 01:56:35.400

Sima Kostovetsky: Have people come to you know in person.

1051
01:56:40.350 --> 01:56:48.870
Sima Kostovetsky: What once we decide where our next hour is just going to be in person it's just something that we could put up because all we have is a white 10th right now, and the tablecloth.

1052
01:56:51.270 --> 01:56:51.810
Sima Kostovetsky: that's all.

1053
01:56:52.830 --> 01:56:55.560
Christopher Lee: I did want to know, we do have two hands raised from the public.

1054
01:56:55.620 --> 01:57:11.790
Sima Kostovetsky: I am happy to recognize those let can we move on from this item, because we don't really need a vote i'm happy to is this for the hands that are raised this is specific to Item nine on the agenda.

1055
01:57:14.460 --> 01:57:16.380

1063
01:57:36.060 --> 01:57:44.910
Mike Bravo: board approval um I remember when I was on outreach back in 2016 I did love the graphic design or the literature back that in.

1064
01:57:45.870 --> 01:57:59.640
Mike Bravo: The group just basically agreed on it and they show to the President, and you know once they you know gave the okay that was kind of it wasn't too much you know, a process, besides, is a good general consensus with the outreach committee told SWAT off of that.

1065

1072

02:00:26.370 --> 02:00:31.650
Christopher Lee: I I can shift our project management, then to Google docs and just create a system there if that's already approved.

1091
02:00:31.680 --> 02:00:39.060
Sima Kostovetsky: Why don't we do that because it might be easier and then we don't need, and then we don't need any kind of training on it cool.

1109
02:02:31.020 --> 02:02:38.490
Mike Bravo: i'll be quick yeah and I just on the just ideas out there, as far as social media i'm not too sure if you guys are familiar with link three.

1110
02:02:39.450 --> 02:02:49.590
Mike Bravo: was basically a link where you put on your social media like on the instagram and that link looks like a little mini web page where provides I don't think so let's say.

1111
02:02:50.190 --> 02:03:02.130
Mike Bravo: That one link, you can buy links to the dnc well the dnc engagement type pages like how to make a motion, you know, to the calendar, or to the most you know the recent upcoming event or the.

1112
02:03:02.850 --> 02:03:11.340
Mike Bravo: Whatever is going on, so you could put on limited information and links that one link and put on all the social media, so it makes things all kind of know like an easy.

1113
02:03:11.850 --> 02:03:12.780
Sima Kostovetsky: Link tree.

1114
02:03:13.020 --> 02:03:20.340
Mike Bravo: Big tree, yes, like easy access portal that you put on your social media profile links and so Chris can update on what it is.

1115
02:03:20.460 --> 02:03:21.180
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah wait.

1116
02:03:21.210 --> 02:03:36.690
Sima Kostovetsky: We have a city account so i'm in the process of getting verified just you know by Facebook and taking some time and so thank you it's noted link tree, I mean you know, obviously, will will operate that as much as we can.

1117
02:03:37.110 --> 02:03:37.950
Angela McGregor: Even Arkansas.

1118
02:03:38.760 --> 02:03:40.530
Brian Averill: Mike the problem with that is.

1119
02:03:40.890 --> 02:03:41.670
Christopher Lee: I can only put.

1120
02:03:41.970 --> 02:03:46.350
Brian Averill: One website on our instagram, for instance.

1121
02:03:46.410 --> 02:03:47.700
Mike Bravo: Well that's.

1122
02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:59.970
Christopher Lee: that's my leg fail so he routes you to a list of links for any relevant information, we want to post whether that's an upcoming so the link in our bio is replaced by a link tree.

1123
02:04:00.270 --> 02:04:01.830
Christopher Lee: which then goes into.

1124
02:04:01.860 --> 02:04:03.540
Christopher Lee: All the individual links that we want to promote.

1125
02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:14.670
Brian Averill: Know i'm very, very familiar with a link to you were saying you get to choose, is it the website, we want everyone to go, or do we want to sort of dilute the waters and give them eight options.

1126
02:04:14.790 --> 02:04:15.540
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, I think.

1127
02:04:15.720 --> 02:04:16.020
I think.

1128
02:04:17.310 --> 02:04:19.020
Sima Kostovetsky: I might actually be a good thing now.

1129
02:04:19.950 --> 02:04:20.160
Brian Averill: sure.

1130
02:04:20.190 --> 02:04:23.280
Brian Averill: We I mean we should definitely talk about it, but I can only put one link up.

1131
02:04:25.110 --> 02:04:25.740
Brian Averill: For this one.

1132
02:04:26.310 --> 02:04:32.040
Mike Bravo: So the example is when you put the link up you put the first thing the website, the dnc website second LIEN could be like.

1133
02:04:32.580 --> 02:04:41.910
Mike Bravo: I guess whatever highlight event that we might we might be working on, and then you guys can figure out how to prioritize what should go on there shouldn't be too hard, but you know, like I just don't their idea out there.

1134
02:04:42.750 --> 02:04:54.810
Sima Kostovetsky: Well, no, I mean it's a great idea, especially like this past week and, for example, like we had you know resiliency event, and then we have the La triathlon on so you know we needed to let our Community now about two events right.

1135
02:04:55.170 --> 02:04:59.040
Sima Kostovetsky: So that is something that we can prioritize is that what you're saying.

1136
02:04:59.430 --> 02:04:59.850
yeah.

1137
02:05:01.560 --> 02:05:15.960
Mike Bravo: My same time you know for like a for Community engagement to like you guys mentioned earlier about like making like little shortcuts for two people to make a motion or you know give him like easy to tours on how to actually access the dnc.

1138
02:05:17.580 --> 02:05:19.530
Sima Kostovetsky: that's a good idea, thank you.

1139
02:05:19.680 --> 02:05:21.240
Mike Bravo: you're welcome Okay, thank you.

1140
02:05:21.300 --> 02:05:22.620
Sima Kostovetsky: um how when.

1141
02:05:29.250 --> 02:05:39.990
Helen Fallon: I would just suggest any media news all traffic should be driven to the website your job is to get people involved in the dnc and the more they see it, the website and the.

1142
02:05:41.490 --> 02:05:42.750
Helen Fallon: website gets cleaned up and.

1143
02:05:43.830 --> 02:05:48.060
Helen Fallon: Then people get involved, we right now people don't even know how to contact.

1144
02:05:50.730 --> 02:05:54.840
Helen Fallon: or write a letter to the board, without having to write individual letters to everybody.

1145
02:05:56.100 --> 02:05:57.960
Helen Fallon: that's that's a bad.

1146
02:05:58.980 --> 02:06:02.580
Helen Fallon: thing and it isn't helping getting people involved.

1147
02:06:07.050 --> 02:06:07.620
Thank you.

1148
02:06:09.150 --> 02:06:21.420
